Team discussion to decide and agree which hat you will be wearing in the team challenge today 4. 2.

30. Succession
Elizabeth is the last of the Tudors. In the past, there had been civil wars when it wasn’t clear who the heir to the throne was. Elizabeth nearly died of smallpox in Parliament and the Privy Council are very keen for her to marry and have children.

31. Mary, Queen of Scots
Unless the Elizabeth has a child, her cousin Mary (Queen of Scotland) is heir to the throne of England. In 1568, Mary was exiled from Scotland to England. She was a Catholic. Catholics in England would have viewed her as an alternative queen to fight for.

32. Ireland
Elizabeth considered herself to be Queen of Ireland. Many Irish people did not agree. In 1559, there was a major revolt in northern Ireland against her rule. More would follow.

33. Taxation
The government needed money, taxing people was the way to get it, but there was a real problem of poverty (caused by a sharp increase in population) . Raising taxes would be a very unpopular and potentially dangerous choice for Elizabeth.

34. Religion
Elizabeth was Protestant but she wanted to avoid the religious troubles her father and siblings had created plus she did not want to anger her enemies. She allowed Catholics to worship privately. Nevertheless, many Catholics still didn’t recognise her authority as she was born of a Protestant queen.

35. Foreign policy
France and Spain were powerful Catholic countries who had the support of the Pope and saw Protestant England as a target.
