After break away from vatican, Queen as the head protestent formed%26amp; East India company formed on 1600 A.D. What else important event happened during her reignIn Queen Elizabeth 1 time, protestant as well as East India company formed-Any other important events there?
She authorized the colonization of North America at the request of Raleigh. Elizabeth's time was fraught with controversies, plots to kill her, exploits into the unchartered terrorities in search of wealth, potentional war clouds fuming over her head. In 1588, England was under attack of the Spanish Armada. Elizabeth ordered all fleets to go into battle, despite the colonists' plea for some ships to sent back to mainland N. America for food supplies. The Spanish Armada was crushed and its message resonated well with those who tried undermining her rule as being a "Protestant" heretic and a woman. She had recieved such condemnation from the Vatican Pope at the time.
Her cousin, Queen Mary of Scotts attempted to murder her while at her stay in England.
So much more to say, there was also Irish rebellions up north
