FAQ About Queen Elizabeth I

How did Queen Elizabeth I deal with the religious conflicts in her reign?
Queen Elizabeth I implemented the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which sought to unite the diverse religious factions in England under a common faith. This Settlement established the Church of England's independence from the Pope and introduced moderate Anglicanism as the country's official religion. Elizabeth's approach aimed for stability and avoided religious extremism, though tensions with Catholics and Puritans persisted.
