An Obituary for Queen Elizabeth I

The time during the reign of Queen Elizabeth is referred to as the Golden Age, and for a reason. Elizabeth bloomed England’s wealth and power, defeating any problems on her way. Elizabeth was the mightiest ruler England had for a very long time. She was the real Queen of England, who always had control and never let someone overpower her!

Some people thought that she could not handle the country and needed a powerful husband to rule… She proved them wrong! Elizabeth never married, but still was a remarkable queen. She kept people guessing and this made them faithful to her forever... “I may not be a lion, but I am a lion’s cub, and I have a lion’s heart.”

At that time, there were many religious arguments, but Elizabeth knew how to keep the country together. She was tolerant to the Catholics and the Protestants alike. She mixed the two communities and by this made a firm base for England! Only due to her strength of character, England could cope with the division of religion. She made England free!

She thought only about the success of our own home, England. She dealt ruthlessly to plotters, only to save our country. She would do anything to make England the mightiest of all. She beheaded her enemies, only to secure us from the torment of the world! Elizabeth was the most faithful queen of all, giving her life to our home!

Even during the Spanish Armada, the Queen did not turn away. She battled midst us and won. Her everlasting battle spirit and the courage she has shown made even the winds be pleasant on our way. This will never be forgotten, as well as her brave speech and the Queen herself. She will always be the Empress of the world!

For memory of our mighty Queen, we have portraits. They were painted though many decades and every one of them has an inner meaning, a message deep inside. Elizabeth could not be everywhere at once, so she had portraits painted. Various ones were painted throughout her life and some still are present today! The portraits are a part of Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was a strong and wise woman. Though her life was full of trouble, she always knew the way out. She could make decisions, and they always were correct. She always listened to her advisers and was tolerant to others. In other words she was an ideal queen, a diamond in a sea of lead! She was the real Queen…

As any other monarch, she had a main secret of success. Different people see Elizabeth in different ways, so in their minds her secret of success is different. I think that her supremacy was based on Elizabeth’s tolerance and making fair circumstances between people. Though her reign was short, it brought adventure that we will never forget… Because of Queen Elizabeth!
