Queen Elizabeth I when Young

Queen Elizabeth I when young had a difficult childhood. Things did not look so golden for Queen Elizabeth I when young in 1536. Queen Elizabeth I (Elizabeth Tudor at the time) was barely three when her mother, Anne Boleyn, was executed. Queen Elizabeth I 's father sent her away because he wanted a son not a daughter.

Queen Elizabeth I and Anne Boleyn

Anny Boleyn, the mother of Queen Elizabeth I, was executed when Elizabeth Tudor was barely three. No one knows how Anne Boleyn 's death affected Queen Elizabeth I when young or later since Queen Elizabeth I never mentioned her mother for the rest of her life.

Nevertheless, Queen Elizabeth I seemed to learn an important lesson from the treachery that led to her mother's death and which was such an integral part of England 's royal history. As queen, and even as a young woman, Queen Elizabeth Tudor  was known for her cautious and secretive manner and her ability to neutralize potentially dangerous situations.

After Edward was born by Queen Jane Seymour, King Henry VIII was so happy that he called Elizabeth Tudor back to the palace. Back home at the palace, Elizabeth Tudor - motherless and ignored by her indifferent father - found solace in books and studying.

Queen Elizabeth I when young was a brilliant student

Queen Elizabeth I was a brilliant student who mastered several languages, the Bible, history, mathematics, geography, and most of the important literature of her time. Her tutor, with sexism typical of the age, said that "Her mind has no womanly weakness; her perseverance is equal to that of a man, and her memory long keeps what it quickly picks up."
