    What Problems Did Elizabeth Face in 1558?

    One factor Elizabeth had to face, which was seen as a huge disadvantage, was her gender. This was because the society was very patriarchal, male dominated, meaning that she was seen as week and less capable of being a good leader. This was a problem for Elizabeth as she had to do more to prove that she could be a good leader. This leads onto the fact that her sister Mary wasn’t a good leader so therefore there were low expectations of Elizabeth, This also meant Elizabeth had a lot to prove in order to be a good leader. Although this was a problem for Elizabeth, there were also positive factors to her gender. One of these was that Elizabeth was very good at using her flirtatious charm to get what she wanted. Another reason Elizabeth’s gender wasn’t too much of a problem was that she asserted her royal authority; it was her divine right to become the queen as god had chosen her.…

    Dbq Queen Elizabeth I Research Paper

    Throughout history, women have been constantly viewed and treated as inferior to men. Throughout English history, there have been many female monarchs. Among these monarchs is Elizabeth I. Elizabeth’s predecessor was Mary I, who tried to restore England to Catholicism and was heavily disliked by her subjects. Elizabeth’s period of rule commenced during 1558 and lasted until 1603. Since Elizabeth I ensured that England stayed an Anglican country, she was greatly loved by her people and was able to earn respect as a ruler. However, since Elizabeth I was a female during a time where the idea of female inferiority was shared by the majority of people, she did not attain as much respect as a king would have. During Elizabeth’s reign, she used her…

    Elizabeth I Dbq Analysis

    People who disagreed with Elizabeth were primarily worried about how she wouldn’t have the capacity to manage a nation like a man could, and were backed up by the bible. Admirers had a go at spreading their convictions by talking about how rousing and supportive she was to the nation of England and its kin to pick up the acknowledgment of being the ruler. Elizabeth realized that she was being oppressed, and as opposed to sitting back and putting up with it, she voiced her opinions and proved she could be a just and loyal queen. She suppressed her oppositions that didn’t support her as a result of her sex and made an assembled nation that was more grounded than when she entered her rule. She enabled women to have confidence and to not be treated like dirt and promoted equality by being a steadfast queen and demonstrating to the nation that she was pretty much as effective as any…

    Queen Elizabeth I: The Most Influential Ruler

    From the age of thirteen, Elizabeth knew she didn’t want to marry. She thought that if a princess is wed she would die or be cast off. She watched what happened to her mothers and didn’t want the same to happen to her. Elizabeth had no example of true love in her life. Her father never really loved his wives and to him marriage was only temporary. She didn’t want to rule the way her mothers did, she wanted to be independent. Elizabeth did fall in love a couple times, but she rejected every proposal she received. The House of Commons, the lower level of Parliament, wanted to find her a suitable husband, but she refused. She didn’t believe that she needed a husband to help her rule, she could do it alone. They wanted her to marry and start a family. Elizabeth said, “In the end, this shall be for me sufficient, that a marble stone shall declare that a Queen, having reigned such a time lived and died a virgin.” Elizabeth stayed true to her word a remained a virgin her whole life. That is why she is considered the Virgin…

    Queen Elizabeth Dbq

    Those who were against the rule of Queen Elizabeth based their beliefs on the fact that women cannot do the same jobs as men. For example, Nicholas Heath, archbishop of York, says in a debate before the House of Lords that since women cannot preach the holy sacraments (D2), jobs men do, and that she cannot be called an apostle or an evangelist, she cannot be supreme head of the church (D2) and, because the first Act of Supremacy in 1534 declared the English monarchy is the head of the church (D3), by extension she cannot be ruler of England. In a way, Queen Elizabeth agrees with that because she believed that women have a place in society, which is to obey their husbands and to ease from commanding (D5). That can be proven through the book The Second Book f Homilies (D5) that talks about the aforementioned women’s place in society. What proves that Queen Elizabeth may agree is that the book was authorized by her.…
