Queen Elizabeth I, of England, 1533-1603
Today's psychologists and sociologists would predict a likely unsuccessful adulthood for a woman whose mother was incarcerated and executed, whose father generally had little or nothing to do with her, who had multiple step-mothers, and whose physical needs of food and clothing were often minimally cared for. Such was the childhood of Elizabeth Tudor, who became the beloved and wise Queen Elizabeth I of England. Perhaps we should study her life to see what the real keys in her successful development were, to discover a model of how to insure a successful adulthood follows a bad childhood. Are education and a loving caretaker all that is required? Something to explore.
