Assess how convincing the arguments in Extract 3 are in relation to the
nature of Tudor rule in the years 1541 to 1563.
“Elizabeth gained her kingdom without having to fight for it but never
forgot the danger which had lain in her way. In January 1559 leaving
the Tower which once as a prisoner in Mary’s reign she had thought
never to leave except in her coffin, she thanked God for saving her as
He had Daniel from the lion’s den. By this Old Testament analogy she
offered a deliberate promise to all those who waited for a Protestant
princess to bring their own deliverance. As even her enemies admitted.
Elizabeth had ‘powers of enchantment’, and as she passed through her
capital to her coronation she displayed them. Mary had made no
response to the pageants which had greeted, but Elizabeth promised
her new subjects a reign of mutual love and undying royal sacrifice.
With a new monarch came a new court and Council. Even Paget was
dispensable. Elizabeth’s Privy Council was composed, at first, of
laymen. A few great magnates, even those of suspect loyalty, stayed
but her council was far from baronial. Most were trained to public life at
the universities and Inns of Court.”
