Elizabeth I of England
This wikipedia article covers just about anything you would ever want to know about Queen Elizabeth I. It starts with a brief overview of her life, then delves into the more detailed aspects. Along the way it's speckled with fancy speeches made by her and quotes said about her. First starting with her childhood, it then moves into her ascension to Queen and the circumstances that put her there. It then covers her views on religion, or lack of views. She never married and so the next part of the article covers speculations into this and the cult that was established that honored her virginity. Then her foreign policy and issues are covered with Scotland, Spain, France and Ireland. The last part of this article covers her later years, death, and the legacy she left behind.

Yes, I would recommend this to anyone interested in Queen Elizabeth I. If you were writing a paper on her you wouldn't need much else. Also the fact that it is a featured article, hasn't had too many changes, and has such a huge discussion page are good signs that it's a good article. I love wikipedia anyways, no matter how many professors scorn it. In fact, I think this is the first class I've been allowed to use it. Yay Wikipedia. :)
