Gloriana is the main character in Edmund Spenser's famous poem, The Fairie Queen. The queen in question was Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, so called because of her refusal to marry and share her power. While it provided certain diplomatic flexibility and maintained Britain's independence in not literally being wed to another political faction, it also resulted in some civil uncertainty in not producing a direct heir. Ruling for almost 45 years, she proved herself politically astute, intelligent, and powerful. As Gloriana, her name defines a golden age for British culture, whilst having a certain mystical air that suggests an earlier place of glory, in legend and myth.
The name Gloriana was first recorded from troops at Tilbury, as the greetings from the troops after the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
The name was later used by Edmund Spenser in his poem The Faerie Queene.
