ALL the Tudors overcompensated, because they knew they had no right to the throne and no royal blood except what they got from Henry Tudor marrying the daughter of Edward IV.

Did you know they were the first rulers to demand to be addressed as “Your Highness” and “Your Majesty”? All the Plantagenet monarchs were fine with “Your Grace”- it’s only the usurpers who had to make a huge deal of themselves.

Yeah, because we totally need leaders who lock up their sailors to die of disease because she can’t afford to pay them! Not to mention murdering their relatives and beggaring their people.

Do the research. The Tudors were all lousy tyrants with good publicists.

Actually, I think you’ll find the rather interesting work “Anne Boelyn” By Joanna Denny, a point to disprove your theory of Anne Boelyn as a whore. Anne actually resisted Henry VII for seven years. She withdrew from court, and refused to engage in sexual relations with him because of her strong religious beliefs.
She was highly intelligent and literate, though much of her work was destroyed in the witch hunt Henry began when he decided she was too old to give him a son, when actually he was near to impotent.

LOL’d at this piccy btw

Mary wasn’t Queen for very long really, and Henry VIII was before her… and being that he divorced a wife that England adored to marry a whore, … and got relatively fat… I think the throne was meant to fit him…

Oh, I didn’t mean to imply she wasn’t a good leader. Hell, without her the US would be a different place entirely, wouldn’t it?

We need a LOT more badass mama leaders like Elizabeth I. Seriously.

Hmmm….wasn’t it Spain that had the massive armada at the time and
totally pooched it when they attacked England?

Why overcompensate when you’re already awesome?

It might not have been her *or* Mary overcompensating. I bet that throne was around for a while before Liz sat on it. If nothing else, her father may have been to blame. I mean, he *did* go through half a dozen wives or so.

And I suppose it helps if you have a massive armada to back up your iron fist of awesome….

Mary was the overcompensator. She had a serious vendetta against all protestants because of her mothers disenthronement due to Anne Boleyn- Elizabeths mother. Mary executed hundred of innocent people. She was determined to rid England of anyone who was not a devout Catholic and lost her sanity. She became paranoid and insane shutting herself up in the palace for months in the dark.
When Elizabeth was crowned she brought England back to the people and restored faith and security in her country from foreign male leaders hoping to manipulate the monarchy by seducing Elizabeth.

in a world where leaders were staging religious wars and inquisitions, Elizabeth was one of the first monarchs to give her people a choice. She was revolutionary and was more successful than any before her. she beheaded religious extremists that threatened the peace of her country, although still wrong, she never executed anyone because they didn’t share her particular beliefs.

Actually, Elizabeth’s predecessor was Mary. Whom I believe may have been also a woman, but I may be mistaken.

You might want to take into consideration that throne probably belonged to her predecessor who was male.

Because you’re not allowed to chop of the heads of anyone who disagrees with you anymore. That’s why.

Didn’t stop her from being a great Queen…
Why can’t we have leaders like her nowadays?

Well, they do when they’re trying to prove to everybody they’re fit to lead England. She was pretty much the Queen of Overcompensation. Google “Elizabeth’s pocket pistol” to see a cannon she yoosta use to shoot at France. From England. Not joking.

(Okay, more like 2 kilometers, but still, overcompensation? She has it.)
