Queen Elizabeth
Elizabeth I was born in 1533, and was the last ruler of the famed Tudor dynasty. For much of her childhood she lived in exile from her ill-tempered father Henry VIII, who had her mother executed on false charges of witchcraft and treason. Henry VIII went on to marry and kill many other wives until his last wife, Catherine Parr, convinced him to reconcile with his daughters. Elizabeth's reign was marked by great achievements in writing, navigation, and philosophy by individuals such as William Shakespeare and Francis Bacon. Elizabeth herself was a talented poet and a tremendous patron of the arts. During her reign, there was much religious unrest in Britain; her leadership was key in avoiding civil war. Despite the threat of a Spanish invasion, Britain remained secure during Elizabeth's reign. Unlike her notorious father, Elizabeth never married and had no children; she died in 1603. In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Elizabeth is aristocratic and aloof. You will find her to be a reliable ally who understands the importance of a strong economy. Under her direction, the English navy was second to none. Elizabeth has a deep distrust of the French, but has a fondness for the Dutch.
