Following the death of Henry VIII, Elizabeth’s father, she was sent to live with her former step-mother Catherine Parr, and her new husband Thomas Seymour, Baron Sudeley. Quite what the relationship between Seymour and Elizabeth was has long been speculated on by historians, but it seems that Seymour used to visit the 14 year old Elizabeth in her b...
Philip was married to Elizabeth’s sister Mary– and on her death, he remained in England for several months in an attempt to woo Elizabeth. Unfortunatelyfor Philip, Elizabeth was a Protestant and had no interest in an alliance with Spain, nor in her half-sister’s widower. Parliament was also firmly against the match, which made a diplomatic refusal ...
On Elizabeth’s accession in 1558, Dudley was appointed Master of the Horse, before rapidly rising up the ranks in Elizabeth’s court. The two were close friends during Mary’s reign, and by 1559, rumoursswirled around court that Elizabeth was in love with Dudley. Notwithstanding the fact that Dudley was already married, marrying an Englishman would h...
Sweden was a Protestant nation, and therefore attempts to make an alliance with the newly Protestant England were politicallysensible. Prince Eric negotiated for Elizabeth’s hand in marriage for several years, but in 1560 she eventually wrote him a letter in which she expressed regret at not being able to reciprocate his feelings, and firmly reject...
In 1567, Elizabeth began to consider Archduke Charles of Austria, son of the Emperor Ferdinand. Again, religion stood in the way: as a Protestant, Elizabeth and her councillorswere somewhat wary of creating alliances with Catholic countries. As with many of her suitors, Elizabeth kept Charles dangling for well over a year, before finally rebuffing ...
The Duke of Anjou was one of Elizabeth’s most persistantsuitors, and perhaps one of those she considered the most carefully. Heir to the French throne, a marriage to Francois could be extremely advantageous politically, although it seems the people would not have been best pleased by a Frenchman becoming king. Some of Elizabeth’s advisors – includi...
The step-son of Elizabeth’s first love, Robert Dudley, Essex quickly became one of Elizabeth’s favouritesdespite being 34 years her junior. In 1587, he was appointed Master of the Horse, the same post Dudley had held on Elizabeth’s accession, and in 1593, he was made a member of her Privy Council: a role which gave him considerable political influe...

Ferdinand Charles (17 May 1628 – 30 December 1662) was the Archduke of Further Austria, including Tyrol, from 1646 to 1662. As the son of Archduke Leopold V and Claudia de' Medici, he succeeded his father upon the latter's death in 1632, under his mother's regency. He took over his mother's governatorial duties when he came of age in 1646.
Charles was the third son of Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor, and Anna of Bohemia and Hungary.He was a strict Catholic and a proponent of the Counter-Reformation. How was he linked to Elizabeth I: Suitor. Elizabeth had previously rejected Archduke Ferdinand so the Holy Roman Emperor put forward his son, Charles as a marriage candidate.
Charles thus prepared the ground for the next, more aggressive phase of the Counter Reformation in Inner Austria that was to be associated with the name of his son Ferdinand. The archduke died in Graz on 10 July 1590 and was interred in the mausoleum he had commissioned for himself in the abbey church at Seckau.
Aug 28, 2023 · Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria (1529–1595), count of Tyrol, is probably not a household name for the general reader. He was, as this collective volume highlights, a second son in Renaissance Europe—a designation which conjures up the image of a landless and frustrated prince, eclipsed by more famous kinsmen.
