Queen Elizabeth I

07 September 1533 - 24 March 1603

Standard Name: Elizabeth I, Queen

Birth Name: Elizabeth Tudor

Royal Name: Elizabeth I

QEI was a scholar by training and inclination (who wrote translations both as learning exercises and for recreation), as well as a writer in many genres and several languages. As monarch she wrote speeches, and all her life she wrote letters, poems, and prayers. (Some of these categories occasionally overlap.) Once her writing moved beyond the dutifulness of her youth, she had a pungent and forceful style both in prose and poetry.
