Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603), born Elizabeth Tudor, was the Queen of England and Ireland, reigning from 17 November 1558 until her death. She was the daughter of Henry VIII of England by his second wife Anne Boleyn and was the half-sister of Mary I. She was the last monarch of the House of Tudor.
She succeeded Mary I in 1558, after Mary was killed by the Assassins. By 1559, Elizabeth had come into the possession of an Apple of Eden, which she kept hidden inside a globus cruciger.[1]
However, the mathematician and consultant of Elizabeth, John Dee, knew of the Apple and its powers. After her death in 1603, Dee sent a painting of Elizabeth wielding the artifact during the Judgement of Paris to Elizabeth Jane Weston, the stepdaughter of his former colleague Edward Kelley, as a wedding present.[2]
