Abstracts

EN

The article deals with two essential aspects of the policy of Queen Elizabeth I. — the enforcement of Protestantism as the state religion and the claim of the British Empire to the New World — and its justification in two famous works: the Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser and Brytanici Imperii Limites by John Dee. They both used the character of King Arthur to support Queen Elizabeth’s policy.
