Happy Birthday to Queen Margaret of Anjou, a medieval woman who embodied the “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” idiom 👑

The odds were stacked against Margaret from her earliest days at the English court

Elizabeth I died #otd 1603. With her died an era.

In its stead came a different style of monarchy, with an emphasis on divine right, supported by new and grasping courtiers. No wonder Elizabeth was remembered as Gloriana, and her reign a golden age.

Until the early 17th century, England and Scotland were entirely separate kingdoms. That changed in 1603 with the death of Elizabeth I of England. Dying childless, the crown passed to her closest heir, her Stuart cousin James VI— uniting the crowns.

👑 On this day in 1603: Elizabeth I of England dies. 

Elizabeth I reigned as queen of England from 1558 to 1603. Her 44-year reign was so long and packed with momentous events that the second half of the 16th century is now known as the Elizabethan era and still regarded as a 'Golden Age' for England.

Elizabeth ruled an England which grew in confidence, witnessed the plays of William Shakespeare (1564-1616), and saw the exploration of the New World.

Elizabeth died, likely from a mix of bronchitis and pneumonia, on 24 March 1603 at Richmond Palace. She was 69 years old and had outlived all her friends and favourites; she was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Patrick, missionary to Ireland and its patron saint, dies. Captured by Irish raiders as a youth, he was enslaved before escaping to Gaul (modern France). Years later, after a vision calling him to return, he preached the gospel to the Irish, helping to spread Christianity throughout the region.

@GreyRevisited This is why I believe Jane and Guildford cared for each other. If Jane didn't love her husband or feel a sense of loyalty towards him why would you call herself Jane Dudley and not Jane Grey?
