What where some of the most important dates..?

Question

What were 5 of the most important dates in Queen Elizabeth I life besides marriage, death, birth etc...Thanks for the help! ^_^

Answer 1

Good Queen Bess had a stressful childhood - - - in 1554 while still a Princess not yet ascended to the throne of England, Elizabeth was imprisioned for Treason and nearly lost her head - - - but she maintained her pose & courage and upon the death of sister Mary was acclaimed Queen by an England that had come to love her.

In 1558 Elizabeth was officially made Queen, her Coronation was celebration of power that the people of England embraced..
In 1559 Elizabeth signed an Act restoring the Church of England, affirming its rights & privilleges and pushing Catholics once again out of power...

in 1580 the Christian Catholic Pope announced that killing Queen Bess was 'not a crime.'

in 1588 the Spanish launched an Armada of ships & soldiers to oust Elizabeth from the Throne - - - they were not successful

For the rest will go with a time line ---
