Succession To Elizabeth I Of England
The succession to the childless queen of England Elizabeth I was an open question from her accession in 1558 to her death in 1603, when the crown passed to James VI of Scotland, an event known as the Union of the Crowns. While the accession of James went smoothly, the succession had been the subject of much debate for decades.

Separate aspects have acquired their own nomenclature: the "Norfolk conspiracy", Patrick Collinson's "Elizabethan exclusion crisis", the " Secret Correspondence", and the " Valentine Thomas affair". The topics of debate remained obscured by uncertainty. Elizabeth I avoided establishing the order of succession in any form, presumably because she feared for her own life once a successor was named.
