The period of 1554-1598 is known in Wales as the Reign of the Three Queens as during this period England was ruled by both Mary and then Elizabeth, whilst Scotland was ruled by Mary Queen of Scots. It was not an easy period for Wales with the Protestant Reformation sweeping across England and Scotland, leading to Wales being isolated in its remaining Catholic loyalties to Rome. It was also a period of increased prosperity. Trade flourished in this period with both England and Europe and the integrity of the Queens position was kept with the canny marriage of Elen to a minor foreign nobleman (Lennox MacGregor) to provide the throne with a male presence but someone who could not claim the title of King.
