*"Damn your ego! Insisting on having a son when you had me! Your own flesh and blood!" -Elizabeth shouting at A Portrait of Henry VIII*

**Princess Elizabeth "Bess" Tudor of England** is a Princess of England and the daughter of King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn.

Henry declared Elizabeth a bastard after he ended his marriage to Anne and executed her; he cut off the young princess's financial support, claiming that her mother had been a whore and denying that she was his child. However, Henry warmly reconciled with the four-year-old Elizabeth at Christmas with the encouragement of his third queen Jane Seymour, and Elizabeth's sister Mary; she was not made heir to the throne, but like Mary she was restored to the royal line.

When Edward was born, Mary and Henry were questioned by Elizabeth if Henry VIII still loved them and while Mary brushed it off Henry sarcastically brought up that it was about time he be cast aside like his sisters and replaced with Henry VIII's "real heir" Strengthening the bond between them. Edward ruled Lady Jane Grey his successor, Mary and Henry were offended and not even bothering to hide it while Elizabeth didn't really care overall and when Queen Jane perished after only 9 days as Queen the Catholics and Protestants were fighting over whom would rule and Henry was chosen as King without much of a fight of Mary and Elizabeth as they knew their brother was right and he was crowned King Henry IX and his wife Mary Howard was crowned Queen Mary.

Henry crowned Elizabeth and Mary The Princesses of England and Elizabeth was named the Godmother of her half-niece Elizabeth and became her namesake. She and Mary were both titled the first Lady Privy Seal of England to their brother often helping him rule a three-religion country of Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Church of England.

Elizabeth was titled the first Lady Privy Seal of England to her brother alongside Mary often helping him rule a three-religion country of Roman Catholicism, Protestantism and Church of England.
