Queen Elizabeth I
Reigning over England from 1559-1603, Queen Elizabeth I was a famous figure of the early days who became queen under unique circumstances. The culture at the time was that for the throne to be passed on the king must have a son. However, Queen Elizabeth’s father went through six wives before he got a son who later died along with an elder sister, thus leaving Elizabeth to be the heir.

Queen Elizabeth reigned for 45 years and was nicknamed “The Virgin Queen” because she never got married. Knowing her true appearance was not an easy task, but thanks to the works and inspirations of artist Mat Collishaw, we have a “living” image of her.
