Elizabeth I was the second queen in English history and the first Anglican Protestant queen ever. Without Elizabeth I there would be no Anglican Church today. But Elizabeth I was also unique in her stance on traditional religion, and she rejected several Puritan theologies in her realm. This video tells the story of Elizabeth I, Anglicanism, Puritanism, and the birth of the Shakespearean Age.
