Elizabeth was Queen of England for 44 years in what some call the 'Golden Age'. She was Queen in a man's world and won respect for her intelligence, shrewdness and charm. She had her faults though, being prone to indecision and having a short temper, but she remains one of the greatest rulers that England has had. Queen Elizabeth 1 ruled in difficult and dangerous times, often being at war with Spain and France, but England became a powerful and prosperous country during her reign. She sent her sailors on daring missions to explore the world, saw the blossoming of English art, music and literature and she established the Church of England after the country had separated from the Roman Catholic Church during her father's reign. By the end of her long reign, Elizabeth had become perhaps the most loved, popular and successful monarch in the history of England.
