POLITICAL CONTEXT - ELIZABETHAN ERA

QUEEN ELIZABETH (1588-1603)

In political terms, Elizabethan England wasn't great. They weren't the most successful with the military and was lucky to avoid major fights. There were many plots, conspiracies and troubles during the time and most of it related to Queen Elizabeth I. High Officials in Rome, Madrid and Paris wanted to kill Elizabeth - who was a Protestant - and replace her with Mary, Queen of Scots or known as "Bloody Mary" - who was a Catholic.
