When Elizabeth became Queen in 1558, England was a weak, divided country. But during the 45 years she was in power, Elizabeth brought her nation together and England’s position became stronger. It was a golden age — the age of Shakespeare and the voyages of discovery. Elizabeth was not a beautiful woman — she started going bald when she was quite young — but she had a magnetic personality and chose talented men to be her ministers. She once said that although she had the body of a woman, she had the heart and stomach of a king. Elizabeth never married — she used to say that her love affair was with the nation.
Когда Елизавета стала королевой в 1558 г., Англия была слабой, разделенной страной. Но за 45 лет, которые она была у власти, Елизавета сплотила свою нацию, и положение Англии стало сильнее. Это был золотой век — век Шекспира и географических открытий. Елизавета не была красивой женщиной — она начала лысеть, когда была совсем молодой, — но она была притягательной личностью и выбирала талантливых людей на посты своих министров. Она как-то сказала, что, несмотря на то, что у нее тело женщины, у нее было сердце и желудок короля. Елизавета никогда не вышла замуж — она говорила, что у нее роман с народом.
