   Note: Elizabeth was born at Greenwich, near London, Sept. 7,

         She reigned as Queen of England from 1558 to 1603. She
         was the daughter of Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyn; was
         brought up in the Protestant faith; studied the
         classical languages under Roger Ascham; and is said to
         have been proficient in French and Italian. On her
         accession she appointed as secretary of state Sir
         William Cecil (later Baron Burleigh), who remained her
         chief adviser for forty years, until his death in 1598.
         She repealed the Roman Catholic legislation of the
         previous reign, reenacted the laws of Henry VIII.
         relating to the church, published the Thirty-nine
         Articles (1563), and completed the establishment of the
         Anglican Church. In 1564 she concluded the treaty of
         Troyes with France, by which she renounced her claims
         to Calais in consideration of 220,000 crowns. In 1587
         she signed the death-warrant of Mary Queen of Scots,
         who, expelled by a rebellion of her subjects, had taken
         refuge in England in 1568, and who, by means, it is
         said, of forged documents, had been involved by the
         government in a conspiracy of Savage, Ballard,
         Babington, and others against Queen Elizabeth. In 1588
         her admiral Howard, assisted by Drake, Hawkins,
         Frobisher, Winter, and Raleigh defeated the Spanish
         Armada in the English Channel, and prevented an
         invasion of England. Her reign, which was one of
         commercial enterprise and of intellectual activity, was
         made illustrious by Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser,
         Bacon, and Ben Jonson.
