Elizabeth I (1533–1603) was the Queen of England and Ireland from 1558 until her death in 1603. The daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, she was the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. Known as the Virgin Queen, she never married and ruled independently for 44 years, overseeing a golden age of English culture, exploration, and military success.
Sir Walter Raleigh (c. 1552–1618) was an English explorer, soldier, writer, and courtier during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He was a favorite of the Queen and played a key role in England’s early attempts at colonization, including sponsoring the failed Roanoke Colony in present-day North Carolina.
James I of England (1567–1625) was the first Stuart king of England, ruling from 1603 to 1625. He was also James VI of Scotland, having ruled Scotland since 1567, making him the first monarch to unite the crowns of England and Scotland.
Charles II (1630–1685) was King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1660 to 1685. He was the son of Charles I, who was executed during the English Civil War (1649). After his father’s death, England became a republic under Oliver Cromwell, and Charles spent years in exile.
