Ocupation: Queen of England
Life: September 7, 1533 - March 24, 1603
Birthday: September 7
Death: March 24
I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people. Therefore I have cause to wish nothing more than to content the subject and that is a duty which I owe. Neither do I desire to live longer days than I may see your prosperity and that is my only desire.
