@History Tea Time with Lindsay Holiday Nice video. Would it be possible for you to review the funeral of Constantine II, similar to what you did with Queen Elizabeth four months ago? Thanks!
Fun facts about Elizabeth I: - She cursed like a sailor. Henry Viii cussed a lot as well. - She never smiled because deserts and sugary foods rotted her teeth - She wore makeup made completely of led, which is poisonous. It made her skin wrinkle and her hair fall out. In response, she’d put more on and bigger wigs. - Her voice was actually very high pitched but not super high pitched like a chipmunk.
Hey Lindsay!! I love your videos. You do a phenomenal job. I was wondering if you’d consider doing one one day about all the various positions in royal court? Master of the horse from you last video and it’s importance I thought was particularly interesting. I’m sure there are tons of good stories behind them and those came to acquire them. Anyway thank you and most of all thank you for what you do!!
Yes, the various positions in royal court would be very interesting. I'm really into genealogy and one of my great grandfathers x10 was Queen Elizabeth's gentleman usher, but I have not been able to figure out what his duties were.
It doesn't matter if Elizabeth was an actual virgin or not she put her people above her own personal happiness. Her simple belief was her people believed in her, because she believed in them.
Hm wouldn’t say that Robert loved his second wife “deeply” he was just a good husband. He wrote to his friend that he would “live and die only hers” about Elizabeth, kept many portraits of her up in his house, spent even more time with her than his own wife and wrote in another letter that his “only comfort was his nephew and Elizabeth”. Also he didn’t have the best reaction when Elizabeth was flirting with the Duke of Anjou. He still very much loved Elizabeth and they never really did “break up” but just had a small rift.
It would be interesting to hear about the daughter of Henry I. He named her his heir, and she was his only child, yet her cousin swiped the thrown four months or so after she became Queen, and yet no one considers her one of England's ruling queens? I don't understand that.
Henry I daughter Matilda does appear in her kings and queens of England series but the entry is short it would be cool for her to have an entry of her own
There's a documentary partly about Matilda called She Wolves: England's Early Queens, definitely worth a watch. I think you can find it here on RUclips? I consider her to be the first Queen of England 🙃
Shame about the young man "disappearing". It would have been interesting to find out if he truly was her child. But only a handful of people will ever know.
I suppose, theoretically, only his birth mother would ever actually know if he was Elizabeth's son. It's interesting to think about how much information is lost to time.
I like how many different portraits of Queen Elizabeth you showed, including many I've never seen before. I also thought the line, "his bedroom mysteriously exploded" was quite funny - so deadpan. Book recommendation: Mary Queen of Scots and the Murder of Lord Darnley, by Alison Weir. The story of Arthur Dudley is fascinating - in everything I have read about Elizabeth I, I have never heard about him before.
And welcome back to the Tudor Bachelor. Well folks, we are used to returning guests, Henry VIII set the record with six appearances but his daughter is clearly going for his record. Please welcome, her Majesty; Queen Elizabeth I. Your Majesty, we have again scoured the royal and noble families of Europe so see if any of these bachelors take your fancy. Bachelor Number 1: The Earl of Arundel. He did back Lady Jane Grey but betrayed her and worked for your sister. Can you trust him? If he handles rejection with regicide; maybe not. Bachelor Number 2: Sir William Pickering; he has had several lovers but he is handsome and not overtly power hungry. You could do worse babe. Bachelor Number 3: The Earl of Arran, the link to Scotland could be beneficial and he is an open Protestant. However he may or may not need some mental health support. Bachelor Number 4: The King of Sweden; a monarch is a good match for a monarch but he has a thing for mistresses. Hey just like dear old Dad, huh? Bachelor Number 5: The King of Denmark and Norway. The enemy of Bachelor Number 4: so are you the wife or the prize? Bachelor Number 6: The Archduke of Austria. Another Hapsburg but a less noticeable chin however is a Catholic spouse wise these days? Maybe not. Bachelor Number 7: King of France and links to Poland-Lithuania; sure he’s younger and prefers his male lovers but hey; that could work for both of you. Bachelor Number 8: Another returning guest. Robert Dudley. Simply put; he is the King of Simps. Bachelor Number 9: The brother of Bachelor Number 7; he might not be King and a Catholic but if he can piss off the Spanish, it could work.
U ARE MY FAVORITE RUclipsR ON THE ENTIRE EARTH. I LOVE U LINDSAY HOLIDAY AND I HOPE THAT U ARE SO BEYOND HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT. on a real note your voice is so calming and relaxing not to mention the work that you put into your videos. it’s truly one of the only things that helps distract me from my bad thoughts. i am so thankful for you. truly. i hope that you‘ve found something that genuinely makes you happy in your life, because that’s the way i felt when i found you. ❤️
I'm attempting to a write a fantasy book, upon doing research I've been reading a book called 'Performing Virginity and Testing Chastity in the Middle Ages by Kathleen Coyne Kelly'. There are some really interesting concepts on Virginity and chastity and all the crazy tests. Highly recommend it.
I truly think this is your best video to date. The details and storytelling are excellent. There was so much new content for me that I wasn’t familiar with - I will definitely need a second listen to make all the connections.
Again, as someone pointed out in your first video, Elizabeth was not born in the medieval time period, but during the Renaissance. The middle ages ended around 1400, so over 100 years before she was born.
Love that you mentioned the confused numeral of Erik XIV. Johan III managed to get the right number, but their younger brother Karl IX also got the number wrong. (Because Johan III was married to a Polish princess, their son Sigismund became king of both protestant Sweden and catholic Poland. Due to being seen as too catholic for the Swedish throne, he was usurped by his uncle Karl IX. The House of Vasa is a wonderful mess.) (If you go Johan III's castle in Turku, where Erik XIV was imprisoned, you can see a window ledge with a pit in it. Supposedly that pit was worn in by Erik XIV's elbow as he stared out the window to the castle where his beloved Karin was held, since she wasn't of noble enough birth to get to stay in the castle with him.)
I agree with that, I just want to straighten out one thing 1. Although the main religion in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was a Catholic, there was religious freedom throughout the country
I have had an obsession with royal portraits my entire life and the red, bejeweled one of Louise of Lorraine is just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I'm just dumbfounded by it, it's incredible. I had never heard much about her before this. Cheers, thx!
If anyone wishes to read more about Queen E the I & her Scottish cousin beyond Phillipa Gregory, here are some recommendations for my fellow history nuts! The first article is titled, " ROYAL COUSINS: BOOKS ABOUT MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS AND ELIZABETH I TO READ BEFORE THE NEW MOVIE" from Bookriot & the 2nd is 5 Historical Books To Read Featuring Queen Elizabeth I. You're welcome fellow history nuts!
Me personally I doubt it. But seriously she was the freaking Queen of the country she could do whatever the hell she wanted. Her dad slept around ALL the time, she should be able to too.
Lettyce Knowlys was the maternal 1st cousin once removed of Elizabeth I as her Mom, Katherine Carey was the maternal 1st cousin of Elizabeth I (Katherine was the niece of Anne Boleyn, Mom of Elizabeth I)...
@@LeahWalentosky so Lettyce Knowlys was the niece of Elizabeth I & her son, Robert, was Elizabeth's grandnephew??? Ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!! He flirted with his great aunt...
I highly doubt that Elisabeth and Robert never had sex but intimacy on a different level. You also have to consider that women in the Middle Ages got into menopause way earlier than these days. My theory is, that she gave birth to a love child. After that “incident” they stopped having sex and lived this different intimacy thing but when Elisabeth got into menopause they had sex again
Could you do a video on Empress Maria Leopoldina, the first empress of Brazil? She was an AMAZING woman, with such a tragic life, and did so much for the country, unlike her husband who was a disaster of an Emperor. And she considered to this day a national hero.
This series was so interesting!!! I love how you breakdown your topics in your videos and how you categorize specific topics into specific series. It’s so fascinating and you’re always so informative.
Another great video thank you, I live not too far away from Kenilworth castle. It’s still standing and you can visit it for about £15 per person. I would recommend it to you if you do come to the UK this year. There’s also a nice restaurant across the road called queen and castle 😊 I’d only visited the castle for school trips when I was very young so could not remember the history of it. I might go check it out again 👀 if you’re in the area it’s about 10-15 miles away from Warwick castle and about 25-30 miles away from Stratford upon Avon.
Good morning Lindsey from the USA here in Northern California I'm so excited to see your video this it's always a highlight to hear and see your interesting videos and I do so appreciate all the hard work you do and I have to agree with a lot of people your voice is so calming your accent is amazing again thank you you're definitely one of my favorite most of all RUclipsrs many blessings from above from our country to yours 🤗💞🌻💜🦋🙏✝️👼🌈
Jane Grey refused to name her husband King Consort so why was Q Elizabeth expected to subject to her husband. That is a flimsy reason. Personally I feel she did not trust men or particularly respect them , and I don't blame her considering how she saw how terribly the grown men around her behaved when she was growing up.
Dudley was already being called king in foreign courts by the time him and Jane were imprisoned. More than likely he would have been granted the title if their reign had lasted long enough
13:30 Henri III most likely did not have male lovers. It seems to be established the rumours about him being gay were propanganda invented by his ennemies. Anyway, he surely enjoyed his wife's company.
That's a cool game, but I want to include the garden farm aspect. First you plant your crop, then you can make various things in the kitchen, and you get points for it! Better than a Barbi dollhouse! The heir is an important issue.
That game sounds like a lot of fun. I totally love storylines like that, it just doesn’t sound like it would work with most adapted screen readers unfortunately.
Fun anegdot When Henry was running away he crossed border river and destroyed bridge but one Nobelman who want to stop him get neked and swim across the river shouting ,, Your majesty why are you running?'' . His majesty fell from a saddle in laughing. If he die at this moment he could won darvin award but no he get back to France and never abdicate what make all polish and Lithuanian nobles man furious.
The current King of the UK, Charles III, is a direct descendant of Elizabeth I’s aunt, Mary Boleyn, through his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, the former Lady Elizabeth Bows-Lyon
I had read a theory that her belt with smallpox left her unable to have children. Knowing that marriage could bring a dominant husband but wouldn't bring the heir that she would want, there seemed to be no benefit to her to be married. Do you know if there's any truth in this?
Not sure if you read these older reviews, but you have mentioned that even though Mary I was called Bloody Mary, Elizabeth I and their father killed as many or more (I'm thinking you said more) Is there a video that specifically discusses the numbers & why they were killed (why the King/Queens(s) had them killed?)
Elizabeth ruled for nearly 10 times as long as Mary, and when you break it down by year, Mary executed 54 people a year and Elizabeth executed around 5. Henry undeniably executed far more than either of them, but he’s not exactly remembered positively. He doesn’t have a punchy nickname, but he’s rightfully remembered as a monster
Interesting how she was a Queen not under a husband/King. Elizabeth 2nd was married but her husband not named a king and his surname name not carried on. They are alike plus both ruled so long! And they were both born Elizabeth and didn't change their names. Interesting
I'm not so sure the husband of a regnant queen can have the title of a king. With a consort queen, yeah, but when it comes to regnant queens, traditionally the husband's title is prince consort, as we've seen with Queen Victoria's husband Albert and Queen Elizabeth II's husband Phillip. If I recall correctly, the only time England has had both a king and a regnant queen in a co-monarchy was the late 1600's under the reign of William III and Mary II. When it comes to regnant queens, I think they don't change their last names because they outrank their husbands in the line of succession
Lindsay, I've been re-watching your tiara and crown videos. With the coronation coming up in a few months, any chance you might do a revisit to these videos? Maybe focus on the type of coronets we might see during the coronation and who might be wearing it. I.e. The Duke of X is wearing this type of coronet. How the decoration indicate their status. What men vs women would wear to such an event? I would also be interested to see what headgear we might see members of the royal family wear.
I do not think that this queen would risk her trone and her reputation to lie down with a man ? Especially with the history of her mother and all the men who wanted to marry her for her political position.
👑She thought of herself as a Prince, she referred to herself as a Prince and am quite sure she privately behaved as one, the question of silence in partners expected their knowing the result of the slightest indescretion. A child would not be out of the question, Fitzroy comes to mind and her keen sense of political distraction, Cecil at her elbow, and fashion, though a challenge, would enable her to disguise her pregnancy adequately.. Her issue would be dealt with in a different manner than her father's indescretions. Those wondering about why she didn't dispatch the pregnancy or would a baby, I invite to examine her years of anguish and anxiety over the decision to execute Mary Queen of Scots. The Divine Right, Royal blood was sacred to her core belief, certainly so with her own blood. Bastard or not the child would be of royal blood. "Princes do not kill Princes " in her soul.
I’ve never seen her refer to herself as a prince. She would not have privately behaved that way because it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to hide. Every day of her life she was naked or barely dressed in front of DOZENS of servants, and spent all her time in the close company of court ladies who were not necessarily loyal to her. Hiding a pregnancy simply did not happen, and any child she had would not be a prince or princess nor would they ever have a claim to the throne, but that child WOULD threaten her own position as a respected monarch
Using mercury as your makeup might also help a bit also one can be romantic without you know going all up to 100%. Wished it was more common for people back then to write diaries man the stories we could have heard an speculations revealed.
part 3 of my family's story my grandad mansour was a black moroccan man and went to the same secondary school as my grandma. luckily,her family was not racist and did not mind her husband was a black muslim,the only person that minded was edward moyer,her great grandad. edward only talked to elisabeth and not her parents,but after their wedding in 1983 he never said a word. he died on january 31st in 1990(exactly 33 years ago today) due to brain cancer at age 81. moving back to my grandma,she and her husband had 4 kids. the eldest born in 1984 were twins,adam ahmed 1st and 20 minutes later had my mother,khadijah. later in 1986,there was another boy called blaine and their last child,a girl called adelaide after adelaide cottage in 1988. however,in 1989 mansour cheated on my grandma. she was heartbroken,but couldn't do anything for the sake of her kids. he did it again in the beginning of 1990,my great grandparents were furious and ready to argue and even fight after they found out but elisabeth found out and new she didn't love him anymore. he became stubborn and his personality changed,and when her grandad found out all he said was "i told you that you shouldn't of have married that black n****". in 1996 they finally divorced,and my grandma knew that she would never let her kids live like this. she got a new job in a new city as an accoutant and there met a wealthy beautiful man called johnathon olo,a ghanaian man. they got married very quickly after 6 months,and had a kid that same year,the baby was born in 1997 and was a girl called frances when she was 38 and he was 43. in 2001,khadijah(my mother)got pregnant as a teen. she didn't actually know who the father was as she had 2 boyfriends but soon after she knew who it was. his name was mohammed(my dad)and he was from sudan. her grandma(clarissa)helped as she was also a teen pregnancy. she then had the baby on december 24th,a girl called khadra,and the year after in 2002,elisabeth had twins with john,a boy called jayden and a girl named tanya when she was 43. then khadijah got engaged with mohammed in 2003 and got married in july of that year. they had another kid in 2004 called omar. then in 2005 they had salma and in 2006 they had osman. in 2008,i was born(maria)and i thought i was the youngest. in 2010,my parents divorced due to struggles in their relationship. my mum got with another man named james ngyuen. they got married in 2012, and had 2 daughters in 2013 and 2015 called hannah and nadia. my dad got engaged in 2017 and had triplets with a women named alicjia nowak,they were 2 boys and 1 girl called hafsa,abdul and marwin. both couples split in 2020 and 2021,my step dad cheated on my mother and my step mother moved back to germany and my dad didn't wanna leave. he still sees my half siblings. in 2022 my parents got back together and had their last baby last week,the same day as my bday! now my family travel a lot and do a bunch of things with every kid and even my dad's ex have settled. I still talk to my grandparents,great grandparents and even one of my great great grandparents who's turning 113 this year. i still love and talk to all 9 of my siblings and my cousins/aunts and uncles. in 2019,mansour passed away due to a car crash and john passed of a heart attack in 2022,mansour was 62 and john was 67. unfortunately,my great grandpa who is 79(albert) is suffering cancer and is at the verge of life and death so I hope he makes it out. One good thing that happened was that my family found my great great grandmas jewelry in the adelaide cottage in 2022.(elisa). she died 56 years before I was born,and she could've been alive today,edward moyer(my other great great grandpap)'s wife is still alive and she is 112 with no illnesses,we do actually talk to her often
If Arthur was the real illegitimate son of queen Elizabeth and Robert (which I believe could be and dont ser it as somthing shameful), it's really sad that he was probably killed for that
People have always had a thing for claiming to be the child of a monarch or a long lost prince(ss). Still happens today, although people tend to claim descent from royals as opposed to claiming to be royals themselves these days.
So you’re telling me that reign got it wrong? You’re telling me that Mary’s brother James, earl of morray, was NOT the regent of Scotland while Mary was growing up? 😂 haha Ik that, I’m just making a joke
I would like to believe that maybe she secretly did had a child from Robert. That would've meant they did had an intimate relationship (that or just hiding a child altogether is impressive) Sad that he was most likely killed due to him possibly being Robert's son
All of these men have deep set eyes, long noses and the same shaped lips, I wonder if it’s because they are all related some where or if it’s just the way the painters did faces….?🤷🏼♀️ could be both I guess
At this time Robert Dudley had a wife Who was murdered it seems And that murder separated Elizabeth from this man I don't think she went all the way with anybody And I think she was a virgin queen
The supposed double-standard between men having affairs and women having affairs actually makes sense considering that before the advent of DNA tests there was no definitive way of confirming the parentage of a child for a man if the woman was promiscuous.
That flies in the face of patriarchal family lines. If the mother is the only parent whose parenthood is certain, surely family lines should be traced maternally and not paternally?
@@emilybarclay8831 You forget the power of status and how tracing your lineage to a great guy that's often a warrior or statesman or an adventurer or at least a community notable is highly prized.

Wow thank you 😊
Okay these trivias are both fascinating and funny.
i believe her blusher contained mercury (it may be another makeup product i don't remember)
I think it contained mercury and maybe some lead idk
Her hair didn’t fall out. It’s been debunked.

she styled herself "Lady of the English" because back then there wasn't a word for a queen regnant

I suppose, theoretically, only his birth mother would ever actually know if he was Elizabeth's son. It's interesting to think about how much information is lost to time.
I can only imagine how lonely Elizabeth I was since she had to give up on love for England.
She didn’t give up love, marriage during that time for a royal was typically for political reasons rather than love.
I would love to see a video about the happiest marriages in Europe ❤❤
Would be perfect for Valentines Day!
I completely agree. I would love to see a video on the happiest marriages recorded from history.
yes!!!
I thought “happiest marriage” was declared an oxymoron by Henry VIII.

There’s also a nice restaurant across the road called queen and castle 😊 I’d only visited the castle for school trips when I was very young so could not remember the history of it. I might go check it out again 👀 if you’re in the area it’s about 10-15 miles away from Warwick castle and about 25-30 miles away from Stratford upon Avon.
She had to do what she had to do. Amazing woman. She had to keep her reputation no matter what.
I just realized that Elizabeth I’s age in inverse of Elizabeth II
Good morning Lindsey from the USA here in Northern California I'm so excited to see your video this it's always a highlight to hear and see your interesting videos and I do so appreciate all the hard work you do and I have to agree with a lot of people your voice is so calming your accent is amazing again thank you you're definitely one of my favorite most of all RUclipsrs many blessings from above from our country to yours 🤗💞🌻💜🦋🙏✝️👼🌈
I'm not a big fan of English history, but boy this tea is hot! They were messy back then! Lol 😭
Jane Grey refused to name her husband King Consort so why was Q Elizabeth expected to subject to her husband. That is a flimsy reason. Personally I feel she did not trust men or particularly respect them , and I don't blame her considering how she saw how terribly the grown men around her behaved when she was growing up.
Dudley was already being called king in foreign courts by the time him and Jane were imprisoned.
More than likely he would have been granted the title if their reign had lasted long enough
💛 all your video's mam👍
I absolutely loved this! Also hearing how Frederick the II's marriage was one of joy just made me smile. 🥲
Hi Lindsay! I was wondering if you could make a video on Florence Nightingale love your videos 😊
13:30
Henri III most likely did not have male lovers. It seems to be established the rumours about him being gay were propanganda invented by his ennemies.
Anyway, he surely enjoyed his wife's company.
Thank You Lindsay!❤
I think QEI was a virgin. I could see the court demanding "proof" and doing an inspection. It wouldn't be unreasonable for the time period.
That's a cool game, but I want to include the garden farm aspect. First you plant your crop, then you can make various things in the kitchen, and you get points for it! Better than a Barbi dollhouse! The heir is an important issue.
Love your videos! Btw, the name “Lettice” is pronounced just like the vegetable “lettuce” :)
I did indeed enjoy this history lesson.
That game sounds like a lot of fun. I totally love storylines like that, it just doesn’t sound like it would work with most adapted screen readers unfortunately.
I am super tickled by the sponsored game, my hometown is called Appleton 🤗 very fun & might push me over the edge to check it out!
Her rule was not a time of peace and prosperity for Ireland.
Fun anegdot When Henry was running away he crossed border river and destroyed bridge but one Nobelman who want to stop him get neked and swim across the river shouting ,, Your majesty why are you running?'' . His majesty fell from a saddle in laughing. If he die at this moment he could won darvin award but no he get back to France and never abdicate what make all polish and Lithuanian nobles man furious.
The current King of the UK, Charles III, is a direct descendant of Elizabeth I’s aunt, Mary Boleyn, through his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, the former Lady Elizabeth Bows-Lyon
I would love to see you do a video on the queen consorts of Belgium and perhaps the Netherlands as well
Elizabeth I lived during *the English Renaissance* (1485-1603), NOT the “medieval” period (450-1485) as your video *historically incorrectly* states.
My Yorkie loves Elizabeth I; he thinks she is aunt.
what a smart monarch
Yasssss Taylor Swift I see you Queen
I had read a theory that her belt with smallpox left her unable to have children. Knowing that marriage could bring a dominant husband but wouldn't bring the heir that she would want, there seemed to be no benefit to her to be married. Do you know if there's any truth in this?
She was a strong woman
I would love your take on the Gray Sisters.
Not sure if you read these older reviews, but you have mentioned that even though Mary I was called Bloody Mary, Elizabeth I and their father killed as many or more (I'm thinking you said more) Is there a video that specifically discusses the numbers & why they were killed (why the King/Queens(s) had them killed?)
Elizabeth ruled for nearly 10 times as long as Mary, and when you break it down by year, Mary executed 54 people a year and Elizabeth executed around 5.
Henry undeniably executed far more than either of them, but he’s not exactly remembered positively. He doesn’t have a punchy nickname, but he’s rightfully remembered as a monster
Aitäh!
Lindsay can you please do a video about mother's and father's of presidents who saw there son's presidency or better yet a series
Karin Månsdotter would make a good Queens of the world-episode, just saying! ;)
"Knollys" is pronounced "Noles" not "nollies" and is usually spelled Knowles nowadays
Interesting how she was a Queen not under a husband/King. Elizabeth 2nd was married but her husband not named a king and his surname name not carried on. They are alike plus both ruled so long! And they were both born Elizabeth and didn't change their names. Interesting
I'm not so sure the husband of a regnant queen can have the title of a king. With a consort queen, yeah, but when it comes to regnant queens, traditionally the husband's title is prince consort, as we've seen with Queen Victoria's husband Albert and Queen Elizabeth II's husband Phillip. If I recall correctly, the only time England has had both a king and a regnant queen in a co-monarchy was the late 1600's under the reign of William III and Mary II. When it comes to regnant queens, I think they don't change their last names because they outrank their husbands in the line of succession
They use both names Windsor ( Queens surname ) and Mountbatten ( Phillips surname ) .
Lindsay, I've been re-watching your tiara and crown videos. With the coronation coming up in a few months, any chance you might do a revisit to these videos? Maybe focus on the type of coronets we might see during the coronation and who might be wearing it. I.e. The Duke of X is wearing this type of coronet. How the decoration indicate their status. What men vs women would wear to such an event? I would also be interested to see what headgear we might see members of the royal family wear.
Which one was the one who was married to Amy who died unexpectedly from supposedly from falling down the stairs?
Robert Dudley
watching replay
It would actually be really cool if Arthur Dudley was actually Robert and Elizabeth’s son
I do not think that this queen would risk her trone and her reputation to lie down with a man ? Especially with the history of her mother and all the men who wanted to marry her for her political position.
👑She thought of herself as a Prince, she referred to herself as a Prince and am quite sure she privately behaved as one, the question of silence in partners expected their knowing the result of the slightest indescretion. A child would not be out of the question, Fitzroy comes to mind and her keen sense of political distraction, Cecil at her elbow, and fashion, though a challenge, would enable her to disguise her pregnancy adequately.. Her issue would be dealt with in a different manner than her father's indescretions. Those wondering about why she didn't dispatch the pregnancy or would a baby, I invite to examine her years of anguish and anxiety over the decision to execute Mary Queen of Scots. The Divine Right, Royal blood was sacred to her core belief, certainly so with her own blood. Bastard or not the child would be of royal blood. "Princes do not kill Princes " in her soul.
I’ve never seen her refer to herself as a prince.
She would not have privately behaved that way because it would have been IMPOSSIBLE to hide. Every day of her life she was naked or barely dressed in front of DOZENS of servants, and spent all her time in the close company of court ladies who were not necessarily loyal to her. Hiding a pregnancy simply did not happen, and any child she had would not be a prince or princess nor would they ever have a claim to the throne, but that child WOULD threaten her own position as a respected monarch
Thanks👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌺
Can you do a video on the dauphines of France
I wonder how good contraception was for women back then because I don’t think that Elizabeth was a virgin as she’s claimed to be 😂
Lol😂😂 apparently very effective she stayed virgin 🤣
@@catcoffee7958 huh 🤔
Using mercury as your makeup might also help a bit also one can be romantic without you know going all up to 100%. Wished it was more common for people back then to write diaries man the stories we could have heard an speculations revealed.
Some used half a hollowed out lemon peel or sea sponges!
Very interesting!
part 3 of my family's story
my grandad mansour was a black moroccan man and went to the same secondary school as my grandma. luckily,her family was not racist and did not mind her husband was a black muslim,the only person that minded was edward moyer,her great grandad. edward only talked to elisabeth and not her parents,but after their wedding in 1983 he never said a word. he died on january 31st in 1990(exactly 33 years ago today) due to brain cancer at age 81. moving back to my grandma,she and her husband had 4 kids. the eldest born in 1984 were twins,adam ahmed 1st and 20 minutes later had my mother,khadijah. later in 1986,there was another boy called blaine and their last child,a girl called adelaide after adelaide cottage in 1988. however,in 1989 mansour cheated on my grandma. she was heartbroken,but couldn't do anything for the sake of her kids. he did it again in the beginning of 1990,my great grandparents were furious and ready to argue and even fight after they found out but elisabeth found out and new she didn't love him anymore. he became stubborn and his personality changed,and when her grandad found out all he said was "i told you that you shouldn't of have married that black n****". in 1996 they finally divorced,and my grandma knew that she would never let her kids live like this. she got a new job in a new city as an accoutant and there met a wealthy beautiful man called johnathon olo,a ghanaian man. they got married very quickly after 6 months,and had a kid that same year,the baby was born in 1997 and was a girl called frances when she was 38 and he was 43. in 2001,khadijah(my mother)got pregnant as a teen. she didn't actually know who the father was as she had 2 boyfriends but soon after she knew who it was. his name was mohammed(my dad)and he was from sudan. her grandma(clarissa)helped as she was also a teen pregnancy. she then had the baby on december 24th,a girl called khadra,and the year after in 2002,elisabeth had twins with john,a boy called jayden and a girl named tanya when she was 43. then khadijah got engaged with mohammed in 2003 and got married in july of that year. they had another kid in 2004 called omar. then in 2005 they had salma and in 2006 they had osman. in 2008,i was born(maria)and i thought i was the youngest. in 2010,my parents divorced due to struggles in their relationship. my mum got with another man named james ngyuen. they got married in 2012, and had 2 daughters in 2013 and 2015 called hannah and nadia. my dad got engaged in 2017 and had triplets with a women named alicjia nowak,they were 2 boys and 1 girl called hafsa,abdul and marwin. both couples split in 2020 and 2021,my step dad cheated on my mother and my step mother moved back to germany and my dad didn't wanna leave. he still sees my half siblings. in 2022 my parents got back together and had their last baby last week,the same day as my bday! now my family travel a lot and do a bunch of things with every kid and even my dad's ex have settled. I still talk to my grandparents,great grandparents and even one of my great great grandparents who's turning 113 this year. i still love and talk to all 9 of my siblings and my cousins/aunts and uncles. in 2019,mansour passed away due to a car crash and john passed of a heart attack in 2022,mansour was 62 and john was 67. unfortunately,my great grandpa who is 79(albert) is suffering cancer and is at the verge of life and death so I hope he makes it out. One good thing that happened was that my family found my great great grandmas jewelry in the adelaide cottage in 2022.(elisa). she died 56 years before I was born,and she could've been alive today,edward moyer(my other great great grandpap)'s wife is still alive and she is 112 with no illnesses,we do actually talk to her often
Wasn't Ivan the Terrible also one of her suitors?
He did propose marriage to her!
If Arthur was the real illegitimate son of queen Elizabeth and Robert (which I believe could be and dont ser it as somthing shameful), it's really sad that he was probably killed for that
Will this live be published I hope so
Not only that Arthur looked like the combination of queen Elizabeth and Robert Dudley
James Hamilton kinda made me sad. Dying alone in an asylum is fucked up
💗💗💗💗
There are actually multiple cases of people claiming to be an illegitimate child of Elizabeth I
People have always had a thing for claiming to be the child of a monarch or a long lost prince(ss). Still happens today, although people tend to claim descent from royals as opposed to claiming to be royals themselves these days.
3:47 isn't that lord Blackadder ????
♥️
hey Lindsay!
Way to leak my info like that, sister!
She should have chose the one with the biggest ruff ngl
I think Queen Elizabeth I was a romantic asexual.
So you’re telling me that reign got it wrong? You’re telling me that Mary’s brother James, earl of morray, was NOT the regent of Scotland while Mary was growing up? 😂 haha Ik that, I’m just making a joke
I would like to believe that maybe she secretly did had a child from Robert. That would've meant they did had an intimate relationship (that or just hiding a child altogether is impressive) Sad that he was most likely killed due to him possibly being Robert's son
At 10:00 "as a BRIDE foe Princess Elizabeth"?? I think you meant husband 😉
4 days :(
All of these men have deep set eyes, long noses and the same shaped lips, I wonder if it’s because they are all related some where or if it’s just the way the painters did faces….?🤷🏼♀️ could be both I guess
At this time Robert Dudley had a wife Who was murdered it seems And that murder separated Elizabeth from this man I don't think she went all the way with anybody And I think she was a virgin queen
The supposed double-standard between men having affairs and women having affairs actually makes sense considering that before the advent of DNA tests there was no definitive way of confirming the parentage of a child for a man if the woman was promiscuous.
That flies in the face of patriarchal family lines. If the mother is the only parent whose parenthood is certain, surely family lines should be traced maternally and not paternally?
@@emilybarclay8831 You forget the power of status and how tracing your lineage to a great guy that's often a warrior or statesman or an adventurer or at least a community notable is highly prized.
@@markgarrett3647 you can claim descent from a man all you want but you can only ever know your descent from a woman
Where can I find part one?
In her RUclips page 😊
