Queen Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots both had red hair and spoke five languages. They were cousins and female leaders in a male world. But the lives of these two women were very different.
Elizabeth`s early years were hard. When she was born in 1533, her father, Henry VIII, was angry because his new child was a daughter – he wanted a son. So he executed Elizabeth`s mother and married again. In 1553, Elizabeth`s Catholic half-sister, Mary Tudor, became queen. She put Elizabeth in prison because she was a Protestant.
