A Golden Age

On November 17, 1553, Elizabeth I, daughter of Henry VIII, was crowned Queen of England.  Thereafter, Queen Elizabeth presided over what would become known as the Elizabethan Age.  During this time, England's power greatly increased after it defeated the Spanish fleet and an attempted invasion of England backed by the Pope.  Queen Elizabeth would go on to sponsor English exploration of the world, including North America.

Ack!  This turtle-neck itches like crazy!
