Financial weakness England s monarchs could not do whatever they pleased. They needed money and support to rule successfully. Monarchs could raise money from: Rents and income from their own lands Taxes from trade Elizabeth s government did not have a lot of money, as England had fought costly wars before Elizabeth became Queen and lots of land had to be sold off to raise money to fight in the wars. When Elizabeth became Queen she was 300,000 in debt, which was a huge sum of money in 1558. To be a strong queen, Elizabeth needed to be wealthy. Defending herself and her throne was expensive but taxes were unpopular. Religion Elizabeth I was a Protestant. However, when she became queen in 1558, most of her subjects were Catholic. There was a great deal of religious conflict spreading through Europe as Roman Catholics and Protestants fought to establish their faith as the 'true' religion. Elizabeth feared this conflict would spread to England, and for good reason. Catholics who had not accepted Henry Vlll's divorce from Catherine of Aragon believed Elizabeth to be illegitimate and therefore that she had no right to be queen. There was also a Roman Catholic alternative for the English throne, Elizabeth's cousin Mary, Queen of Scots.
Scotland Mary, Queen of Scots, declared herself the legitimate Catholic claimant to the English throne when Mary I died. Catholics who had not accepted Henry Vlll's marriage to Anne Boleyn wanted Mary, Queen of Scots' to be England's legitimate, Catholic monarch. Scotland was an independent country and a traditional enemy of England. England's border with Scotland was remote and hard to defend, which meant it saw constant fighting and raids. In 1558, Mary's mother, Mary of Guise, was ruling Scotland for her daughter and had French troops stationed there. France and Spain Elizabeth was also concerned that France and Spain were no longer at war. Although the two powers were great rivals, they were both Roman Catholic countries. There was a real possibility that Catholic Spain and France would unite against England and its Protestant queen. Calais England had held the French port of Calais since 1347. It was useful as it meant that England had a military base in France. It was also an important trading post. In the 1550s, England had sided with Spain in a war against the French, as Mary I was married to the Spanish king. In 1559, the conflict ended and England had to return Calais to France. The English felt humiliated by this loss, and so regaining Calais was an important aim of Elizabeth's foreign policy when she became queen.
