When Queen Elizabeth came to the throne, her subjects expected more of the political and religious confusion that had dominated the preceding decade. The 1550s had been a time of severe religious, economic, political and demographic crises and there was little hope that the 1560s would be much better. By 1570, however, England was firmly set on the course that would make the Elizabethan age one of the pivotal periods in English history.
