Can you please edit out the inaccuracies, and make sure your tenses are consistent.

Sorry, but this loaded with inaccuracies - Elizabeth executed her cousin Mary Queen of Scots, not her sister Queen Mary of England . Philip of Spain had been married to Bloody Mary and tried to marry Elizabeth. He became aggressive when she refused. Shakespeare was one of eight children- three brothers and four sisters.

Very good except that Elizabeth didn't kill her sister. I am assuming the author is referrring to the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots who was Elizabeth's cousin. Lots of kids get her mixed up with Mary I, Elizabeth's older sister who died of what we now think was a stomach tumour. History teachers go to a lot of trouble to make the difference clear (I know because I am one of them!) so you'll have them after your blood if you teach them that she killed her sister!!
