Élisabeth Ire était la fille du roi Henri VIII et d'Anne Boleyn. Elle est devenue reine (she became queen) en 1558 et a régné (reigned) pendant 45 ans, jusqu'en 1603. Elle ne s'est jamais mariée (she never married) : on l'appelait the Virgin Queen, la reine vierge. En 1588, sa flotte a vaincu (defeated) l'immense flotte espagnole, l'Armada. Avant la bataille, elle a dit à ses soldats : I have the heart and stomach of a king (J'ai le cœur et le courage d'un roi). Son règne est un âge d'or (a golden age) : c'est l'époque de Shakespeare et des grands explorateurs. Elle a été la dernière souveraine de la famille Tudor.
