Élisabeth Ire, née le 7 septembre 1533 au palais de Placentia à Londres et morte le 24 mars 1603 au palais de Richmond dans la même ville, reine d'Angleterre et d'Irlande de 1558 à sa mort.


Élisabeth était la fille du roi Henri VIII, et le cinquième et dernier membre de la dynastie des Tudor sur le trône anglais. L’exécution de sa mère Anne Boleyn, trois ans après sa naissance, lui fit perdre son titre de princesse, reçu à sa naissance et entériné par le Second Acte de Succession. Son demi-frère Édouard VI nomma comme successeur, par lettre patente, sa cousine Jeanne Grey, ce qui écarta ses demi-sœurs Marie et Élisabeth de la succession au trône. Cependant, cette lettre patente d'Édouard VI fut interprétée comme acte de trahison et Jeanne Grey fut exécutée. Marie — fille d'Henri VIII et de la catholique Catherine d'Aragon — devint reine en juillet 1553. Élisabeth lui succéda cinq ans plus tard, après avoir passé près de 2 mois en prison en raison de son soutien supposé aux rebelles protestants et plus de 4 ans en résidence surveillée, entre le palais de Woodstock et Hatfield Palace.


Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death in 1603. Sometimes referred to as the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor.


Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, his second wife, who was executed when Elizabeth was two years old. Anne's marriage to Henry was annulled, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Her half-brother Edward VI ruled until his death in 1553, bequeathing the crown to Lady Jane Grey and ignoring the claims of his two half-sisters, the Catholic Mary and the younger Elizabeth, in spite of statute law to the contrary. Edward's will was set aside and Mary became queen, deposing Lady Jane Grey. During Mary's reign, Elizabeth was imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.


William I (c. 1028 – 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman king of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. A descendant of Rollo, he was Duke of Normandy from 1035 onward. By 1060, following a long struggle to establish his throne, his hold on Normandy was secure. In 1066, following the death of Edward the Confessor, William invaded England, leading an army of Normans to victory over the Anglo-Saxon forces of Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands, and by difficulties with his eldest son, Robert Curthose.
