Hmm. It had mostly died out in England by her time, apparently, which is interesting. It wasn't formally abolished until 1925, but obviously was in practice.
Elizabeth was the first pre-modern English monarch I thought of, but she was also one of the most repressive from what I've heard. She was also the first to adopt a policy of genocidal brutality in Ireland. Feodor... was apparently sickly and possibly intellectually disabled.
