Baseline of Elizabeth’s I reign 1558-88

In 1558, Elizabeth I became Queen after the death of her half-sister Mary I. Elizabeth was a Protestant and she had to agree on what religion she wanted the country to be either Catholic of Protestant. This was not a success, as it would cause discontent between the Catholics and Protestants. Not only that Elizabeth became queen but also she had no one to marry. Many Kings and Princes asked for Elizabeth hand in marriage including King Philip II of Spain who was previously married to Mary I. A year later, 1559, Elizabeth had already established a Protestant Church, in which she hoped it was acceptable for Catholics and Puritans. This was quite successful
