From the Paper:

"The reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England was arguably one of the most eventful and tumultuous periods in British history. Of course, part of this distinction is due to the fact that Elizabeth ruled for 45 years (1558 to her death in 1603), and such a length of time is bound to encompass at least a few memorable developments. Her reign can not be written off so easily as this, however. So influential was this time period in English history that it is given its own title; it is deemed the period of Elizabethan England--sometimes the Golden Age."
