Queen Elizabeth I was the unwanted child of Henry VIII. Why?


Although Queen Elizabeth was a great leader, she was an unwanted child of King Henry VIII. Not because he didn’t like her as a person, but mainly because of her mother, Anne. Henry hatred towards Anne was so compelling that he had her beheaded, because she was accused of adultery, witchery, and incest. Henry was also expecting a son (that was promised by Anne) to take over his throne, but instead, he had a daughter. It is an unreasonable situation for Elizabeth; she didn’t ask to be put in this scenario, but considering the fact King Henry being an antagonistic and selfish individual it is not a surprise.
