On this day in Elizabethan history in 1533, Princess Elizabeth Tudor was born at Greenwich Palace to King Henry VIII and his second wife, Queen Anne Boleyn.
In our feature-length article on the birth of Elizabeth I, written last year, you can read about:
-The time and circumstances under which Elizabeth was likely conceived.
-Anne Boleyn's preparation for the birth of her child.
-Henry VIII's reaction to Elizabeth's gender, and the hasty readjustment of the pronouns used on the pre-written birth announcement!
-Elizabeth's christening
...and more!
Happy 481st Birthday, Queen Elizabeth I!
Elizabeth
Tudor found her way into my life long ago as a child, and she continues to inspire me on
a daily basis, for which I am eternally grateful.
I will
continue to teach others about her and the importance of her legacy
for the
rest of my life.
