Elizabeth 1 had redish gold hair and wore a red wig even though she had red hair, she had black teeth and picked them in public. She also wore thick makeup to cover scars that she got from smallpox.
Elizabeth picked her black teeth in public and her makeup on her face was white she also hated what she looked like. Elizabeth didn’t like posing for pictures so she asked artists to copy previous paintings of her. Her nose was ridged and hooked in the middle, her eyes were dark brown and she even had very long fingers.
She had rather thin lips and her cheek bones were pronounced, she was 5ft 4in tall, her hair was naturally curly. Elizabeth had very pale skin and had freckles all over her face.
Elizabeth 1st DIED ON THE 24TH OF MARCH. SHE DIED IN 1603 elizabeth the 1st died at richmond her palace. After 44 years on the throne. Queen Elizabeth got a chill and refused to do anything about it, and she thought she was ready or die because, she was so, ill. She did not care about her dieing because she didn’t want to be an old Queen.
In the early hours queen Elizabeth the1st died and she got put in a lead coffin to go to her funeral. Elizabeth wanted to die because she did not want to get old. And as she was going she was pulled by black and white horses, and became history, the Queen became famous because she was the longest living queen. And lots of people, went to the funeral and as she was pulled by a beautiful horses 4 of them and all the amount of people that went was 200 people in the funeral thats a lot did you know that? well now you do. In 1603 as Elizabeth died it morning early and died Elizabeth died and to me she it sounded like she was a good Queen. Elizabeths friends died a year before.
although she died Elizabeth had a funeral for 24 hours it was a long time and all of the people that cared for her missed her and did not know what to do until the new king was crowned and as he was crowned it was the end of the Tudor times because Elizabeth had passed away {died} it was the begining of a different time did you know that Elizabeth had not marry? years after it was very different with a new king in town
Elizabeth and Francis Drake were the best of friends. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/drake_francis.shtcom
Francis Drake was born in Tavistock Devon,around 1540 and went to sea at early age.In 1567 Francis Drake made one of the first English slaving as part of a fleet led by his cousin John Hawkins bringing African slaves to work in the ‘New world’. All but two ships of the expedition were lost when attacked by a Spanish squadron.The Spanish became a long life enemy to Drake.
Once Elizabeth sent Drake on a voyage around the world.He returned in the ship the Golden Hind.He attacked Spanish’s he also stole their gold.The king of Spain was very angry.Queen Elizabeth said she Knew nothing about English ‘pirates’ also she was pleased with her share of gold.She let Sir Francis Drake in second command when fighting against the Spanish Armada.Drake was an Elizabethan sailor.

In May 1588 a massive invasion fleet of armada ships came to invade England and Phillip the 3rd was her enemy but England won because there was a storm that sunk half the armada ships. Phillip the 3rd wanted to make England to be a catholic country once again. Elisabeth the first avoided fighting wars! Elisabeth hated wars more, she just wanted to protect her kingdom.
The Spanish armada is one of the most famous events in English history. It was arguably queen elizabeths finest hour. Spain was one of the most powerful country in the world. In 1580, Philip conquered Portugal, which had a trading empire from Brazil to the East Indies.
Philip’s plan was to
Gather a huge armada of 130 ships in Spain, under the Duke of Medina Sidonia.
Sail to the Netherlands to pick up the Spanish army, led by the Duke of Parma.
Invade England. it hopes of invasion crushed, the remnants of the Spanish Armada began a long and difficult journey back to Spain.
