Persecution Of Continental Protestants Mary Queen Of Scots Elizabeth
734 wordsElizabeth I was born in 1533 to Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Although she entertained many marriage proposals and flirted incessantly, she never married or had children.

Sir Francis Drake Mary Queen Of Scots
4,154 wordsThe Battle of the Spanish Armada The great naval battle between Spain and England in 1588 - one of the most important battles in the history of the world- is known as the Battle of the Invincible Armada.
