The words rang out loud and clear. "The queen is coming! The Queen is coming!" The crowd fell silent as they saw the queen. Her clothing was simply magnificent: a gorgeous flowing gown of satin of the latest fashion. Beads, pearls, and priceless gems had been added to the dress, making it look absolutely breathtaking. Then, a man in the crowd noticed that the queen was nearing a huge mud puddle! The queen had not noticed it, and continued to walk closer...and closer to the dirt and water mixture. The man quickly removed his cloak, ran towards the queen, and spread the clothing over the muddle. Who is this man? Legend has it his name is Sir Walter Raleigh. The story of Sir Walter Raleigh's gallantry has become a legend, but no solid historical evidence exists to prove it ever happened! However, Elizabeth I certainly ruled England during the 16th and the 17th centuries, and the Hotel Manchester Renaissance pays tribute to her era.
Elizabeth's Era
Elizabeth I was arguably the most famous woman during England's Renaissance period. In fact, the period is often referred to as the "Elizabethan era." During her reign, she successfully defeated the armadas of Spain. She also encouraged literature to flourish and nurture the likes of William Shakespeare. In addition, many other areas such as science, architecture, and exploration experienced much progress. In fact, the U.S. state of Virginia was named after Elizabeth I, who was referred to as the "Virgin Queen." More recently, the film "Shakespeare in Love" featured Elizabeth I, while "Elizabeth" was exclusively dedicated to her life. Queen Elizabeth is also present in video games, such as "Age of Empires III," which, if she were living today, she might have played or endorsed. If you visit Manchester today, staying in the Hotel Manchester Renaissance will allow you to observe firsthand Elizabeth I's influence on British society.
Live History
Though Elizabeth I passed away over four hundred years ago, the influence on her nation and the world can still be witnessed today. In addition, Manchester contains several tourist attractions that preserve the spirit of the past.
* The Beeston Castle was built in the 13th century after an Earl of Chester returned from the Crusades.
* Manchester Town Hall, a huge Victorian Gothic-inspired hall, is located in the center of Albert Square.
* The Peel Towers are ancient structures that were built along the borders of England and Scotland.
* The Manchester Art Gallery is the city's premiere gallery, with several works from the distant past.
