Detailed explanation-1: -About Elizabeth Tudor. Queen Elizabeth I ruled England during most of Shakespeare’s lifetime. She was born on September 7, 1533, in Greenwich, and she died on March 24, 1603, in Richmond, Surrey, after 45 years as queen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The monarch of England during the Elizabethan era was Queen Elizabeth I.
Detailed explanation-3: -Shakespeare’s company was often asked to go and do performances at court, so Queen Elizabeth certainly knew of his work very well and made several requests for specific plays that she liked.
Detailed explanation-4: -One of the biggest history “facts” circulated about William Shakespeare was that Queen Elizabeth I was his patron. While very supportive of the arts, theater, and Shakespeare in particular, you may be surprised to learn that Elizabeth I was, in actual historical fact, NOT Shakespeare’s patron.
Detailed explanation-5: -Elizabeth was the last monarch of the House of Tudor and is sometimes referred to as the “Virgin Queen".
