Elizabeth died on the 24th March 1603 of causes unknown (Some say it was due to her lead-based makeup, cancer or phenomena).

She firmly kept control over Government until February 1603, when she was deeply distressed by the death of her close friend, The Countess of Nottingham.
Before her death, the first draft of the proclamation of James's succession was sent to James in Scotland.
