When was Elizabeth I born?

Elizabeth I of England was born in 1533.  Specifically,
she was born on September 7, 1533.  She was born in Greenwich Palace which was east of
London on the Thames River.  It's no longer there.


Her
father was the famous King Henry VIII of England.  He is the one who is famous for
having all those wives -- he's the one who forced England to leave the Catholic Church
so he could divorce his first wife because she didn't bear him any
sons.


Elizabeth's mother was Henry's second wife, Anne
Boleyn.


Elizabeth became queen in 1558 and reigned until
she died in 1603.
