When Elizabeth I was born on September 7, 1533, her father, King Henry VIII, was furious and greatly disappointed that the child was not a male heir. This Jackdaw examines Elizabeth's intelligence, energy and tremendous influence in governing England and all those with whom she had contact. The broadsheet essays and unique documents in this Jackdaw detail Elizabeth's life from childhood to girlhood, as Elizabeth the Queen, and her conflict with Mary Queen of Scots. Elizabeth's strong leadership and insight were evident in colonization throughout the world, and the bringing together of the various factions in England.
