With Elizabeth's reign, the freedom of thought started to influence British people. They could have different ideas and opinions and would not be punished by that. Nevertheless, the Spanish considered everybody should follow the same religion, Catholicism, and how they descended from people belonging to the former Roman Empire, they had an important influence on the British and thereby had a non-distant relationship with them in terms of culture, economy and obviously religion. However, this relationship broke up after the triumph of England over Spain in a naval war. Elizabethan period meant a significant change for British History. From that time on, economy began developing until becoming the modern system we know nowadays and so did English language.
Elizabeth was known as the "Virgin Queen" because she never got married, had children or even had a sexual encounter with anybody. She assumed herself as a devout woman of God and her people. She knew due to this reason she possessed God's grace and with that she could give newborn babies her blessing.
