What famous event happened when Queen Elizabeth the first was 3 years old?

Queen Elizabeth I was born in 1533, and she became Queen in 1558. There are no major historical events that are particularly tied to her being 3 years old.

To understand what was happening in her life at that age, it's important to remember:

* She was a princess: Elizabeth was the daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. At that age, her life would have been focused on royal duties and her upbringing as a high-born lady.

* Her family was in turmoil: Henry VIII had been married three times before Anne Boleyn, and he was notorious for his political and personal upheavals. Elizabeth's childhood was far from stable.

While there isn't a "famous event" at age 3, her life was already heavily influenced by the events of the English court.
