Events of the time with Shakespere.?

I need to know big events that happened with shakespeare, and i need them in order. if you find any websites that include this information, please copy and paste it below. Here are the questions that I should have answered to:





1.) Who were explorers at that time? What did they do?


2.)What was a famous battle in Elizabethan times?


3.)Describe the conflict in the Church at that time.


4.)Who were the enemies of Elizabeth I?


5.)What did they believe?


6.)A person who had an influence on what the Elizabethans believed was a man named Dionysius. Find out about him and his ideas on how the world was ordered on “The Holy Angels Site”.


7.)What were the four humours? Work out which humours go with which characters in your play, for example, if you are studying Romeo and Juliet, what humours does Mercutio have?





My teacher gave me these sites to look at, but i need more:





-Elizabethan Medical Beliefs

1. Sir Francis Drake - Elizabeth knighted him for his acts of piracy "technically he was operating under a Letter of Marquee" (look up that term) against the Catholic Spanish.





2. The Spanish Armada attacked England in 1588, and was destroyed. The English had faster though smaller ships, a storm came up, and the Spanish Galleons were destroyed. However, without the storm, we may all be speaking Spanish right now because the Armada was far more powerful than the English fleet.





3. The Church was in the middle of the Counter reformation - After Martin Luther posted his Thesis on the cathedral, the Church went through a bad time. Finally realizing it was making some bad mistakes, it corrected many of its bad practices such as the Sale of Indulgences. It also was struggling with the loss of its political hegemony. England and several other nations turned from Catholicism, and there were often wars between Catholic and non Catholic nations.





4. Look up Mary, Queen of Scots.





Good luck with the rest!
