This Day in the History of Well Remembered Queens
On this day in 1603, Queen Elizabeth I died at age 69, after ruling England for more than 40 years. Since she never married, she was called the ‘Virgin Queen.’ Yeah, right. My home state, Virginia, 400 years old this year, is named in honor of her nick name. She was one of the greatest monarchs in English history, and perhaps the most important woman in world history.
