Biography
Seeking to help Elizabeth ascend the throne,[1] the Assassins killed the Templar affiliated Queen Mary in 1558. By 1559, Elizabeth had come into the possession of an Apple of Eden, which she kept hidden inside a globus cruciger.[2] She remained a close ally of the Assassin Brotherhood.[3]
In 1600, Elizabeth issued a Royal Charter that allowed the founding of the East India Company.[4]
The mathematician and consultant of Elizabeth, John Dee, knew of the Apple and its powers. After her death in 1603, Dee sent a painting of Elizabeth wielding the artifact during the Judgement of Paris to Elizabeth Jane Weston, the stepdaughter of his former colleague Edward Kelley, as a wedding present.[5]
