Queen Elizabeth I was the unwanted child of Henry VIII.. Why?

During the rule of King Henry VIII, he was known for having very little sympathy for anyone and he aslso was known for having many wives. When Henry was married to Ann Boleyn, they had Elizabeth I. She had been born into a very bad family and heir to a very violent king. When Elizabeth was only two years of age, King Henry had beheaded her mother. This was not the right kind of envornment for Elizabeth to grow up in.
It was known that for years, Henry had wanted a son born after him to take on the throne and this did not really help Elizabeth at all because she was the complete opposite. Also during the time there was conflict between two religious groups. The two groups were the protestants and the Roman Catholics. Because Henry was Roman Catholic and Elizabeth was a Protestant, Henry did not favor Elizabeth one bit. She was called by many, "The Illegitamate Child of Henry VIII".
Eventually Henry stopped being Roman Catholic when he was not allowed to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. He then formed the Church of England to make an attempt at uniting the two religious groups. Eventually Henry VIII's dislike for Elizabeth did not matter because after Mary, his first child to his previous wife, died during her reign due to an illness, Elizabeth I then became Queen of England. The period in which Elizabeth ruled England was called "The Golden Age". She made many great accomplishments in her lifetime.
