In this episode, we’ll explore Queen Elizabeth I’s relationship with Parliament. We’ll discuss its role in passing laws, setting taxes, and advising the queen, as well as the influence of the Privy Council, particularly William Cecil. We’ll also examine Elizabeth’s limited use of Parliament, calling only 13 sessions in 44 years, mainly for financial or crisis-related matters.
