The '''Elizabethan Age''' is the time when [[England]] was ruled by [[Elizabeth I]] from 1558 to 1603.  It was a time of great prosperity and peace in England as Elizabeth removed the religious strife that had plagued the clergy first under [[Henry VIII]] and then under his daughter [[Mary I|Bloody Mary]].  It was a time of exploration and the beginning of the period that would lead to [[Age of Colonization|colonization]] and the [[British Empire]].  [[Shakespeare]] came to prominence and famous theatres were built in London.<ref>http://www.tomecek.com/jay/TableofEvents.html</ref>
