Abstract
Tudor monarchs formed and expressed a metaphor of sovereignty meant to signify their legitimacy as rulers. Elizabeth I expressed that metaphor through her composition and publication of prayers. Transforming medieval symbols, rituals, church and calendar, Elizabeth used her prayers as a mechanism of government and claim to legitimacy.
