Queen of England · Virgo · born September 7, 1533 in Greenwich, England

Elizabeth I ruled England for 44 years, holding a religiously divided country together largely by refusing to be pinned down on the question that divided it. The Elizabethan era took her name because the culture — Shakespeare, Marlowe, the first English overseas ventures — is inseparable from the stability she maintained.
