This Era is marked by the reign of Queen Elizabeth. It occurred from about 1558 to 1603. Often, historians refer to this as the golden age. Religion, politics, executions, and crime and punishment all played a part in this Era. This Era is also the mark of many explorers, such as Sir Francis Drake, and Walter Raleigh.
Another great during this time was the famous Shakespeare. Since Queen Elizabeth loved the arts and understood the importance of them, theaters and great playwrights thrived during this time. Shakespeare was able to soar during these times, and many of his greatest masterpieces were created.
