Program Description

Event Details

Discover the incredible journey of Elizabeth I in this captivating presentation. Orphaned at fourteen, imprisoned by her own sister, and destined to remain unmarried and childless—against all odds, she ascended the throne and ruled England for nearly 50 years. Lesser monarchs might have crumbled under the weight of court intrigue, and weaker personalities might have sacrificed power for personal desires. But Elizabeth, brilliant, passionate, and a master of political strategy, defied expectations. Join us as we explore how she navigated challenges, consolidated power, and led England into an era of unity and prosperity.
