The Tudors: Was Queen Elizabeth all that she is cracked up to be?

The Elizabethan age, Shakespeare, "this is England", it is a fair question to ponder- how much did Elizabeth have to do with the glory her reign seems to have.One of her goals was her own survival and this she achieved. Given the circumstance, that was a difficult goal to achieve so good for her. And yet, how come there is so little talk about the disaster that was the English Armada? In fact, how much did the English have to do with the defeat of the Spanish Armada - the first one...there were several.Her sister had the sobriquet of Bloody Mary....and the same could have been given to Elizabeth. In fact her methods lived up to the name whereas Mary should have been Fiery, Smokey or maybe AshyHow was her policy to the Irish...not good. Mary Queen of Scots, and the Rising of the North- Elizabeth did win out on that tune in and find out if she lived up to the billing#england #history #tudors #scotland #france
