Depiction of a Great Ruler At such a tumultuous time in English history, a ruler capable of protecting his people and giving them intellectual stimulation was not not an easy task. Yet this is what the people expected from their leader. This emblem is a fundamental representation of what the English valued from the people who ruled them. The title says it all. “The most ennobling parts of a prince, / are skill in arms and love of the arts.” If someone took this emblem and changed all the words from "he" to "she" and then replaced the words "prince" with "queen", we would have a perfect description of Queen Elizabeth I and what made her so big. we enter the text, it is worth analyzing the image of the emblem. Even though the huge difference is that it's a man in the photo, there are still many parallels we can draw between him and Elizabeth. In terms of appearance, the man in this photo seems to be wearing a royal robe, but pants that look like rags. By making the comparison with Elizabeth, we can highlight the time she spent in prison. She had to wear rags for a while, then when she was freed, she became queen and she was able to wear royal and exquisite dresses. In the photo, the man has a sword in his right hand and a book in his left. Obviously, the sword represents military power and physical strength. The book represents wisdom and knowledge. Although it is from one angle, it still seems that the man holds the book higher than the sword, showing that he values ​​a wise ruler more than a powerful one. However, a great leader must possess both qualities to be successful. After the emblem we get a poem about the qualities the people desire in their leader. As stated previously, from what we know about Elizabeth, this poem describes her qualities well. Before Elizabeth, England was at constant war, with Protestants and Catholics vying for power. In this time of constant conflict, the people were looking for a leader who would bring them peace..
