In terms of lasting impact, Elizabeth I, hands down.
Victoria never actually "ruled".
Wouldn't Queen Anne be a better choice? Great Britain was a world power in 1710 in a way that England wasn't in 1590.
Yes, but Tudor monarchs laid down the foundations of England, later Britain, turning into a maritime and commercial power, allowing her to compete with, and eventually outdo, bigger powers like Spain.
As of Anne, she more "presided" over the establishment of a Union rather than ruled the way previous monarchs had.
