One of the greatest Queens to ever reign over England was Elizabeth I, the final Tudor monarch. It was during her decades on the throne that she saw the Elizabethan period, a time of great change where writers such as Shakespeare were thriving and she managed to also see off some great threats to her throne. Elizabeth I ended the life of one of her greatest opponents Mary Queen of Scots by having her executed inside the walls of Fotheringhay Castle. But Elizabeth I also managed to defeat the Spanish Armada, the greatest enemy and army of the time across Europe. But Elizabeth was a Queen who was loved by her followers and population and she was very popular. Following her death in 1603 there was a huge outpouring of grief across England and the Nation, and many people could not see what the nation would be like without her reigning over them. However following her death she was interred in a burial vault with her grandfather Henry VII before she was then dug up and moved to her final resting place. But what is this burial vault like, and why was it broken into?
