He’s my direct patrilineal ancestor - though once my family came to Virginia they opted for the ‘Wiatt’ spelling rather that ‘Wyatt’. Thanks for keeping this history alive.
Claire, you don’t need to apologise at all about presenting sad or even gory pieces of history. It was a completely different world back then and everything from births and marriages to execution for treason is important for us to learn. Please keep doing this and if you keep going for years to come, I’ll be watching!
Sir Thomas Wyatt the Younger saved Elizabeth I. I believe they couldn't bring any tangible evidence against her and pressed Wyatt for a confession of her involvement. Great video. Thank you!
So happy to see you yet again today! You are sounding a bit better! I hope your chest cold is leaving! ❤ I am delighted with my newest addition to my collection of cook books, Peter Brears "Cooking & Dining in Tudor & early Stuart England " Reading through his lovely history of Tudor Dining and manners has been wonderful! I've even been able to get my husband interested! I do holiday cooking for friends and family and your Vids are giving me new(and old) recipes to bring fun gifts! this week, however I am making 200 truffles of many different flavors to mail and deliver for Easter! ❤
That's a great book. Have a look for Hilary Spurling's edited edition of Elinor Fettiplace's recipe book too as that is brilliant, lots of Elizabethan recipes.
A brave man. I love the portrait of Sir Thomas Wyatt the younger ( full neck and profile ) painted by Hans Holbein the younger. It is so life like. Holbein was a genius.
Yes we cannot let too many days go without an execution!!! These were very dangerous times for Elizabeth...Wyatt was brave to go to his death exonerating her.
One aspect of learning about learning about Tudor history is that I breathe a sigh of relief when someone’s head is dispatched upon a single swing.. ugh
So interesting. I Always have a snack when I listen, never knowing the subject. Glad I chose a beautiful slice of pink watermelon, lightly salted, instead of......let's say, soup.
🇭🇲🦘 (viewed 5/04/2021) .. The execution (beheading) of Thomas Wyatt the Younger during the reign of Queen Mary I. Always sad to hear of such things. He never implicated Elizabeth, which probably saved her life, for her to later become Queen, after Mary's death. Thank you Claire 🔔👑👍
Mary and Charles V! There was definite concern in England, and within Mary's own council, that Mary marrying Philip would make England another Spanish territory.
Sir Thomas Wyatt is a true hero! Most of the slimeball nobles would have implicated Princess Elizabeth in order to try and save thier sorry skins. But he chose to save her instead. Princess Elizabeth was very lucky to have been saved because if she was unfairly implicated, the poor princess would have almost certainly faced execution no matter how much she pleaded for her life and pleaded her innocence.
Yes indeed a brave man but also foolish, rebellions never succeeded but to his credit he never disclosed Elizabeths name even though he must have been tortured, or threatened with it, Elizabeth herself always declared she had received no letters from the traitor Wyatt, as she referred to him, sadly Lady Jane Grey's father was one of the plotters and as a result he to lost his head and Jane lost hers, he left behind a wife and a young son named George who became famous for writing the first biography of Anne Boleyn.
I thought noblemen could not be tortured? Of the men accused with Queen Anne Boleyn, was it not said that only Smeaton could be tortured because he had no title?
The highest of nobility were generally exempt, but there were always exceptions to the rule. For example, it was illegal to torture women, but that didn't stop Anne Askew being racked so much that she had to be carried to her execution in 1546.
Did Elizabeth know of the plot? It strikes me Elizabeth knew how dangerous this was and her intelligence saved her. If this was the same rebellion why was Queen Jane Grey executed when it was Wyatt rebelling in Elizabeth's name?
Does anyone believe in reincarnation. They say if you get obsessed with some historic event or era, in a past life you were there and watched it happen or were part of it 👍🏿

He is mine as well.
It never ceases to amaze me that people would be condemned, yet went so gracefully, even when it was unjust. That is nobility.
Both Thomas Wyatts are absolutely fascinating

He only saved her after bringing her into the greatest danger.
@@konradvonmarburg7733 You have a good point.
Another Awesome video! 😀Thanks Claire 🌹

Parts par boiled and his head stolen! 🤤 Wow! It never ceases to amaze me, the brutality and just plain macabre of this era!
Bloody Mary.:)
The boiling, and often tarring when it concerned a head, was to prevent them from decomposing too quickly and getting smelly.
@Elizabeth Frantes I think that was part and parcel of the executioner's job.
Really glad I discovered your channel!

Great video, love this series, so glad to have found your channel a few weeks ago after first watching I subscribe and I'm totally hooked👍👍💖💖💖

I found 'A Man of Singular Virtue' edited by A L Rowse in a charity shop today! I am now the most happy 😂
Thanks Claire!!
Thank you.
You do such a good job, keep up the good work!

Sir Thomas was a pretty brave guy. Was anyone happy with Mary's marriage ?
The Pope and Mary are they only two people I can think of. Even Philip eventually took himself off out of England.
Yes, many people were. Especially Catholics.
Mary and Charles V! There was definite concern in England, and within Mary's own council, that Mary marrying Philip would make England another Spanish territory.
Love these videos!
Wow. I Tudors are so exciting and scary. I know I've said that before but it's so true. Thanks, Claire!

I'm so curious now who each doll is.

Hi Claire! 🙋💖✌👍😊

No, I'm just passionate about history.
I’m a direct descendent of Sir Thomas Wyatt
I can imagine how his father felt
His father was dead by this time, thankfully.
I thought Elizabeth was at Hatfield. That must have been later.
What happened to Courtenay?
Alright a brutal execution! Cool!!!
Sir Wyatt sounds like he was a Brexiteer of his time.
He just didn't like Spaniards and the idea of England being a Spanish territory. I don't think he had anything against other European countries.
