Elizabeth 1 stayed true to her nickname and never married in her lifetime.  As a result she never had any children thus producing no heirs to her throne when she died in 1603.  Because she left no heirs to the throne, her crown was passed to her cousin James Stuart who at the time had been the king of neighboring Scotland for 36 years.
