Elizabeth I

Queen Elizabeth came into power of England during a somewhat transitional period. Many watched her carefully to see what she would do. Elizabeth was patient and savvy. She used good political strategy to accomplish her goals, and maintain order in England. She maintained a cool and patient head when dealing with sensitive religious matters. This was simply one reason that explains why she was popular with her subjects and arguably one of the greatest monarchs …

…good politician, thus she knew how to go about obtaining her goals while pleasing her subjects at the same time. Perhaps one could say this was not that difficult of a task considering that many of the Brits wanted some of the same reforms she did. She was smart of enough though to know how to maintain internal peace for England. Elizabeth may have easily been the best monarch to grace the throne in England.
