I think Elizabeth was a very successful Queen, but on the other hand she did cause disagreement and executed lots of Catholic e.c.t. Elizabeth could be as ruthless and calculating as any King before her. One of the problems Elizabeth faced was religion and I think she managed it well I think this because she made all of the churches a mixture. Elizabeth was a Protestant and her mother was a Protestant so I would thought that she would of made all the churches, Protestant, but she was good queen and managed the religion well. She kept the Monarch as the Governor of the church not the Pope which is Protestant, I believe this is a good idea because the Protestants will still think she is a true Protestant and she will be popular with them.
And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner' (Timothy 2:12-14). 'If they have any questions to ask, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings' (Corinthians 13:35). 'The women should keep quiet in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but should take a secondary and subordinate place, just as the Law also says' (Corinthians 14:34). These are each very clear examples of the restrictions of leading women in Christianity. While many churches continue to deny women certain human rights, it is very clear that without women, the Christian religion would be a vastly different community.
This also confirms with my knowledge in the fact that the conservative leaders were opposed to the women suffrage due to the fact that it would have meant them having to change their ethos, conservative never mentioned allowing women the right to vote in their manifestos. They did not mention this in their manifestos as this would of have meant that they would of lost out on votes for them to become the main party in government, and therefore did not really mention women’s suffrage, but they did oppose it. The leaders did not really mention women’s suffrage because of the fact the backbenchers would of have really opposed their leaders and therefore the party would of have become split and therefore not a strong party. Not only this but the leaders did not mention the women’s suffrage because the house of lords opposed it, meaning that the conservative party would of have been looked down on rather then looked up on by the house of lords if they had mentioned / forwarded the
This managed to break the circle of organization so the members had no one to follow. Elizabeth also pushed for the suppression of prophesying, as it would cause controversy if they were to discuss everything they believed wrong with her Settlement. However, Elizabeth’s current Archbishop, Grindal, refused to carry out her orders and instead supported the idea. In reaction to this, Elizabeth dismissed him from his post and instead found a new Archbishop in 1583 that would be loyal to her, Whitgift. He forbade unlicensed preaching, and religious practices with the Queen’s assent.
During the “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury,” Queen Elizabeth I showed a tone of inspiration during a time of great doubt, a flawless diction, and a syntax structure that showed great emphasis on each statement that summoned the passion out of her people. Tone is the most important attribute to have in a speech and the queen nailed it on the forehead. During a time when all hope was lost she showed great inspiration and determination that rejuvenated her people. Powerful statements that would make “tyrants fear” and give “strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts” of her people, to annihilate any invaders such as “Parma or Spain” and to send a message to “any prince of Europe.” She was assuring that her people would not go out without a fight and that the English would come out on top of the power struggle between the colonies of Europe. Firmness was shown and the leadership of a king was brought out of the queen and that earned loads of respect from her people and they figured out that this woman was not one to be taken lightly.
The Roman Catholics in those days thought Elizabeth 1st was the heretic queen in their eyes; however, for the protestant, she was their hero. As she brought fortune to a country that was considered poor [in comparison to other superpowers (during that era) such as France, Spain, or Portugal], she was one of England’s best rulers, despite all the religious conflicts. Also, she dedicated pretty much all of her life for England. Mary Queen of Scots had previously claimed Elizabeth’s throne as her own and therefore perceiving her as a threat to Elizabeth. Furthermore, Elizabeth had her arrested.
The love of her people was her motivation. Her volition came of the need to protect her subjects, and be their beacon of strength and hope. She forged a way that was shut, by power of will and breaking down any barriers in her way. Mary Queen of Scotts was believed of some to be the rightful ruler of England, as Elizabeth was an illegitimate child by a mistress of her father, King Henry VIII, who was the founder of the Protestant church, for the reason that Catholicism would not allow him to divorce his wife. Elizabeth was criticized, but held steady her ground.
How Queen Elizabeth Came To Power Queen Elizabeth I will go down as one of the greatest rulers of England. But her story of how she came to power is even better. Henry VIII, Mary Tudor, and multiple religious changes were all factors that lead to Elizabeth I coming to power. Henry VIII, was Elizabeth’s father, was married to Anne Boleyn. But, Anne was Henry’s second wife which has never been a “normal” thing.
Many catholic leaders believe that the poles in each polarity need to be as far apart as possible (Kaveny 14-15). In the Catholic Church women are seen as mothers who shape and nurture the next generation; therefore the Vatican sees change as a detriment to women’s unique roles in society. The Catholic Church tends to look at males and females as collective groups with the same type of individuals. This makes it especially difficult for the church to understand why women want change (Kaveny 16). The church justifies its ideas by basing them on nature; insisting that it is part of human nature for women to be caretakers while men are the breadwinners.
Powerful women were therefore often denigrated and seen as dysfunctional. Despite having three reigning monarchs during this period, Mary Stuart, Mary Tudor and Elizabeth Tudor, there was still a feeling of uneasiness among the general population at the thought of these women rulers. Mary Tudor (R. 1553-1558) Mary Tudor is chiefly remembered as a zealous Catholic, reviled for her bloody persecution of Protestants and for her attempt to bring England once again under the Roman Church. Mary gained the throne with popular support and was an able ruler, as stubborn and strong-willed as her father. Her main failure was perhaps in attempting to reform the kingdom overnight.
