    It's amazing Henry the 8th spent so long trying to have an heir when he had the perfect one in Elizabeth, She reigned 4 decades and displayed a lot of wit and intelligence

    • @FishBoneD14
      @FishBoneD14 5 месяцев назад +8

      Well he didn’t know that, was I king separated from civil war and had his brother die young putting him somewhat surprisingly on the throne. He went extreme but the core reasons are there.

    • @lainwired3946
      @lainwired3946 5 месяцев назад +8

      it was a very turbulent time in British history and he wanted a son to both carry on his lineage, but more important probably to him, a son he could teach to go to war and lead a resistance against the French and others, but also, to create a strong, stern King that could keep law and order back home in the UK, too. there is some logic to his thinking, if you apply values from his time to it
      that all said, yes, we seem to have much better luck with Elizabeth monarchs than we do with Henry's here in the UK, lol. plus, Elizabeth I wasn't so fat when she died that she exploded from a build up of gases!!

    "I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married." -- Elizabeth I

  • @michellecrocker2485
    @michellecrocker2485 5 месяцев назад +13

    I think Elizabeth had learned from her older sister. Mary let her rough experience twist her up into a psycho megalomaniac. I noticed that Elizabeth showed more resilience in spite of her rough experiences with her father.

  • @vitorpereira9515
    @vitorpereira9515 5 месяцев назад +30

    Queen Elisabeth I was an extremely strong woman, facing significant adversity at a time when women were underestimated. Despite the difficulties women still face today, it is impressive to imagine the challenges she had to overcome. However, Elisabeth I went further and had a transformative impact on England and history.

    A great queen who literally defined an age. Also man Henry VIII really messed up when you think about how Only one of of his kids was a great monarch

    • @wendychavez5348
      @wendychavez5348 4 месяца назад +2

      I think all 3 of his children had the potential to be great monarchs. Elizabeth was the only one who actually did it, partially because her brother was too sickly & her sister was too inflexible. Both had reasons for being that way, & Elizabeth wasn't free of those traits, she simply found ways to overcome her limitations. We should learn from her example, rather than disparage her family.

    I can see why Elizabeth wanted to avoid marriage because had some pretty messed up influences in that area. Even when she had a great maternal figure in her stepmother, Catherine parr, even that stepmother let her down when she married that creep Thomas Seymour.

    So, not only do we have to sit through a minutes long promo speech about the channel sponsor (which can be skipped over at least) but we are stuck with youtubes invasive and annoying ads because "they say so". Our viewing interest just doesn't matter anymore if they can make money off it. And yes, I know you can skip or mute most of their ads, it's still a nuisance and interrupts the flow of the videos. Or we can give them more money and subscribe to their happy little "TV" experience.

      Prior to Henry V111 wanting a divorce there was only Catholicism so Mary thought she was doing the "right" thing reverting the country back to Catholicism. Elizabeth knew by the time of her reign that it was politically expedient for the sake of the country's coffers to appease both sides. That's about the only time you'll get any religious tolerance 😢
