TaigaIn British History, there have been two Queens named Elizabeth.
Elizabeth I was born 17th September 1533, daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. She became Queen of England and Queen of Ireland on 17th November 1558 and reigned until her death on 24th March 1603.
Elizabeth II was born on 26th April 1926, daughter of King George VI and his Queen Consort, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She became Queen of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 6th February 1952, and is still the current monarch.
Both Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II were twenty-five when they became queen. Neither was expected to become queen, both were originally third in line for the throne. Both queens took an immense interest in horses and the arts. Elizabeth I had a brother-inlaw named Philip and Elizabeth II's husband's name is Philip. Neither had a full-blooded brother, Elizabeth I had a half-brother and Elizabeth II has no brother.
Apart from the fact they share the same Regnal Name, the two women share a strong sense of duty to God and to their subjects. Both are Protestants, both ascended the throne in their 20's after a period of great controversy.
Elizabeth 1 was accused of treason against her sister Mary 1. She was born into a world where the King, her father, relinquished Papal authority, divorced his wife, and married Elizabeth's mother (Anne Boleyn).
Elizabeth II witnessed first hand a time that can be best described as the biggest constitutional crisis in the history of Britain - and once again dealing with marriage - the abdication of her uncle Edward VIII to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson thereby putting her father on the throne and making her Heir Presumptive.
Both Elizabeth's witnessed times of war that affected them personally. There are so many other parallels one could draw from the lives of these two Monarchs
Too start, There is not much diffrence. They are both powerful woman, Both Queen Regents and both Constitutional Monarchs, proberly more so now. Althou Queen Anne reigned over a much more different a drasticly differnet Britain to what the present Queen does now. Queen Anne only was Queen for 13 years whilst the present Queen has been Queen for 61 years, and is still going.
The main difference is Queen Elizabeth II got married while Queen Elizabeth I did not get married that's why she was known as the 'Virgin Queen'.
