Gloriana was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, and when her big day finally arrived on 17 November 1558. It would see the start of a reign that would last over 40 years. Elizabeth never knew her mother's love; as for her father, he was always preoccupied with other events and had little time for his daughter. She went through the trials of imprisonment after suspicion was raised by Somerset and Northumberland, who had ruled in favour of her younger half brother Edward. Even her other half-sister Mary attempted to stop any opportunity for Elizabeth to spread her wings a little by exiling the young princess. Patience was the key, and as we know, everything comes to him who waits. But in this case she!

At the age of 25, Elizabeth found out she would be queen. Rejoicing was apparent throughout the land, bonfires and even street parties that brought the usual scenes in London to a standstill. For the first time in a long time, England was looking at an English queen, a true sovereign of the kingdom, no mixing of Spanish blood on this occasion. Elizabeth's reign began, and she knew what had to be done to bring together a divided country, a country at that time stood without a clear conscience. It would be the start of a golden age, so much so that even today, the times are still known as the Elizabethan era. Join me now as we look at the unbelievable life of Elizabeth I.
