As a Tudor Monarch, Queen Elizabeth faced many dynastic challenges, including unique aspects of the religious settlement in her realm, and the competing interests of her nobles and courtiers, She was also confronted by threats from foreign enemies, and the conflicts that resulted in England and abroad. We will examine the strategies that this unique monarch employed to deal with the novel issues that confronted her as a female monarch in an age of male dominated political power. Whether faced with unhappy courtiers, powerful foreign princes, the threat to her legitimacy posed by the Queen of Scotland, or the constant pressure on her to marry, Elizabeth I demonstrated a strength of will, strategic vision, and her own brand of psychological manipulation to remain firmly in control, and to continue to exercise supreme authority in her realm. If you like history, enjoy the pageantry of Tudor England, or just want to understand more about this remarkable woman, this is a good starting point for the discussion. Instructor: James Pagliaro
