Elizabeth I was the Queen of England from 1558 until her death in 1603. She never married and was known as the Virgin Queen. As queen, she treated marriage as a foreign policy issue and established the Church of England to help shape England's national identity. Her reign raised England's status abroad and gave the nation a new sense of confidence and sovereignty. She died in 1603 at the age of 69 after a long and successful rule.
