This site was originally written using a WYSIWYG editor for my British Lit class. I am using the original content, but programming it from scratch, for my Web Application Design class. It is written as if Elizabeth herself was looking back on her life. Hope you enjoy.
I am Elizabeth and this is the 41st year of my reign as Queen of England.
I look back over my life at this, the dawning of the seventeenth century, never having expected to continue for so long without my lifelong companions: William Cecil, Robert Dudley, and even my enemy, Philip II.
I want to tell you about my life: that is, my early life until the time I ascended the throne.
So settle yourself in with a cup of something - for myself, I have long favored a good ale!
