Queen Elizabeth I did not own other countries in the traditional sense, as England was a kingdom rather than a personal estate. However, her reign (1558-1603) saw the expansion of English influence overseas, including the establishment of colonies in the Americas, such as Virginia. Elizabeth supported exploration and privateering, which led to English claims on territories and trade routes, but these were part of the broader English state rather than personal possessions of the queen.
