Detailed explanation-1: -Elizabeth I-the last Tudor monarch-was born at Greenwich on 7 September 1533, the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn .
Detailed explanation-2: -Henry VIII’s reign (1509-47) is usually remembered for the King’s six wives and his legendary appetite. Infamously, he sent two of his wives, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard, to their deaths on the executioner’s block at the Tower of London.
Detailed explanation-3: -Queen Victoria is only distantly related to Henry VIII, as Queen Victoria is descended from Mary, Queen of Scots rather than the Tudor line that ended with Elizabeth I.

Detailed explanation-5: -1547-1553) Edward VI became king at the age of nine upon the death of his father, Henry VIII, and a Regency was created. Although he was intellectually precocious (fluent in Greek and Latin, he kept a full journal of his reign), he was not, however, physically robust.
