An outstanding production. Informative, well-constructed, superbly edited and riveting. Thank you for this small bit of history, it's been very enjoyable.
Would someone ANYONE speaking of an accomplished woman first introduce her intelligence at the top of the list of accolades? This woman came to The Throne speaking 5 languages, was familiar with so much of the history of Europe, extraordinarily educated for anyone at her time. She translated Latin forward and backwards at age 7. Please, don't introduce such a Lady as young, vivacious etc before introducing her as highly intelligent. It speaks of the subtle prejudice and sexism still practised even now. Women are still not introduced as being highly intelligent. My daughter is a professor of astrophysics and cosmology at U Chicago and there are times she has to bury herself, enduring the sideswipes and barbs by playing the dumb blonde. To me this is so sad. Women are still not given credit for their accomplishments without the offices of men to legitimate them. You can start by saying the words intelligent, clever, innovative and brilliant as often as possible when they apply, and HM Queen Elizabeth i was extraordinary in almost every way, intelligence being her strongest ally.
@lucyosbourne9239: I sincerely hope your virtue-signaling lecture made you feel better and smarter than the rest of us. Lord knows we don't get enough of these leftist rants on how Western women are the most oppressed, dehumanized and discriminated today than in any time in human history.
8:24 Whatever Philip II of Spain spoke of Mary I to his close attendant in Spanish… doing so in front of the Queen would have been an insufferably careless move on his part - one that the politically savvy Philip II most certainly could not have made. Spanish was Mary I’s native language alongside English! She was literally half-Spanish herself and was even so related to Philip II as his great-aunt. On the other hand, Philip II did not even speak English. Henceforth, Mary would have welcomed Philip to her court in either Latin or Spanish. And Philip would certainly have not gossiped about her, especially right in front of her, in her native tongue.
The Essex section is badly written as it makes it seem as though she cut off his head because he laughed at her being old. In point of fact, Essex led a full on rebellion, marching his troops into London and the palace itself. Elizabeth was cagey, though, and played on his vanity and his sense of self-importance, lulling him into a false sense of security. As soon as all his troops were gone, she had him arrested. He *was* tried for treason; she didn't execute him out of hand. He was Dudley's stepson, and so he was doubly dear to her, and she gave him _so_ many chances and allowed him to get away with a great deal more than anyone else would have. But once Essex got a taste of power, it wasn't enough and he kept grasping and grasping for more until he finally reached too high. Most sources would never say she had the last laugh. It broke her heart to sign his execution order.
She was so much like her dad, vivacious like her mom. Oh, I do not believe she didn’t have money. All clothes were changed, mended as needed and her jewelry.,Wow, look at the pearls, rubies on her clothing.
I can only imagine how lonely Elizabeth I was. But she did the right thing in putting England's welfare before her own happiness which paved the way for the rise of the British Empire.
Lonely? She had a very lengthy relationship with Robert Dudley. She was also courted by several serious suitors, including her older sister’s widower, Philip Ii of Spain, King Erik XIV of Sweden, Archduke Charles of Austria, Francois, Duc d’Anjou of France, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex.
@littleogeechee223 her royal suitors only courted her for political reasons, love was never part of it. And, yes, she did love Robert Dudley but they could never be together because of his background and her status. Elizabeth I was very careful not to commit the same mistakes her sister Mary I did (her unpopular marriage with Philip of Spain) and she was traumatized with what happened to her mother and Catherine Parr who died of childbirth.
If I were a queen, I would not give my life or crown, of which is the power to a man. I agree with Queen Elizabeth. In those days it was a different thing.
King Phillip wasn't the only one who wasn't attracted to his wife this goes back years and years when it comes in to political marriages for both husbands and wives
Humm I don’t think Philip respected Mary because he abandoned her. He never really lived with Mary and was definitely relieved she finally kicked the bucket. I feel sorry for her but there is a limit..she was a raving mad Queen who sent innocent people to the bom fire. She gave catholicism a bad name and she did try to execute her sister out of jealousy and raving madness.. obviously Elizabeth was the better choice for Queen the finest monarch England has ever seen.
I did not know about her baldness nor having an Earl executed for having seen her without a wig and makeup. Rather, him gossiping and laughing about it at court.
What a nasty vulgarian you are, little Miss Deborah Tefo! Seriously? Care to provide us with a current photograph of yourself-which I’m guessing is something much, MUCH less than youthful, lithe, and svelte? Shame on you.

Brava, madam! Brava!

Always,the first attribute mentioned,when speaking of a woman,is her looks.
Will we ever get past this nonsense?
She was way beyond her time! A credit to women! Well said!
Blemishes will always follow your skin as deep as age imprints itself amongst the very 🌌 ones you should have protected. 38:49

Makeup starts at 38:00 in.
Thank you
Wish they'd talk bout the dangerous makeup. Over half an hour in and it was slightly mentioned in the beginning but that's it so far
I was a bit disappointed as her makeup was barely even spoken about. Why even title it as such - click bait
@@LisafromNOLA Seriously!
right that was why i clicked it D:
Erin Parsons makeup has a couple interesting videos about the history of lead makeup & makes some herself. Very interesting & well researched.
And somehow she lived to a ripe old age, in spite of lead makeup and tooth decay
I’m sure the midwives knew there was nothing in there. Eventually it’s clear where a baby’s skull is; something they would really need to know.
No discussion of the Bacton altar cloth? I consider that recent find and connection to be an amazing recent find for QE I.
I wish we had more information on Edward. I'm very interested in his life.
Love it when they tell your stomach swell when pregnant. Peeps, that is not the stomach that swells. We know that nowadays, don’t we?
Amazing doc. I didn’t want it to end. Turns out, the lead didn’t have much of an effect!
I always thought she was pretty old by the standard of the day when she passed away.
69 wasn't an early grave. 😂
@@noahbuck7550
70 yrs
I found that very interesting 😊
She was so much like her dad, vivacious like her mom. Oh, I do not believe she didn’t have money. All clothes were changed, mended as needed and her jewelry.,Wow, look at the pearls, rubies on her clothing.
Is that Sally Pointer, the archeologist/re-enactor, playing the elder Elizabeth?
Philip II was the son of Queen Mary’s first cousin Charles I (V) so they’re actually related
It’s European royalty, everybody is related.
Did this vid start out at Hever Castle? If so why? I know that was Anne’s home but other than that I don’t see the point 🤷🏻♀️
My favorite Queens, Queen Elizabeth I ❤, Queen Elizabeth II ❤️.
Not necessary to put a number after Elizabeth only if you are referring to Elizabeth ll,
Wow! That was great!

How sad
Is that Hyacinth Bucket in the thumbnail?
hahahahahaaha that dress is so crazy. it sits like a table!
Going forward, he gave George and Fred his Tri-wizard winnings, so he may have received dividends from the joke shop as well.
hey bro did you mean to comment this somewhere else
@@iimuffinsaurLOL wrong "movie" 😂

Mary wasn’t abandoned by her husband. He did have vast lands to run! Far larger than England
Did painters "photo shop" in her era? Her Waist has diameter of a neck?

PUTTING head on a block for another person, rumors have a truth to it, always
What about her footwear?
Homegirl's neck is driving me crazy. Hold your head up
Agreed
If her neck is crooked and she can't lift her head they should have pinned her hair back. The hair hanging in her face looks crazy
I wonder how old that portcullis is?
.............
Thats why
Clickbait..tiny amount on the makeup..disappointing to say the least.
I thought it was great
It was made up.
Elizabeth was and was 🎉tumin🎉e
If so devastated by poisonous lead etc,
how come she lived that long?
Was it really true it killed her?
Wd nt she hv died much earlier if it were so ?
women do not lactate until AFTER childbirth.
Senior spending cards are a scam
Tell us you're A VIRGO without telling us you're a virgo. ;)
And whar did the poor woman wear.
Oh geez, give it a rest. We know she was smart
Am I really wasting my time on a video whose narrator says “is it REALLY a whale bone?”
I’m done.
Well, aren't you special?
I love how they skipped over the details of the wig. 😂
Could have employed a less plump and more credible stand-in for QEI.
that’s quite a rude comment
What a nasty vulgarian you are, little Miss Deborah Tefo! Seriously? Care to provide us with a current photograph of yourself-which I’m guessing is something much, MUCH less than youthful, lithe, and svelte? Shame on you.
@@blossomedits_1very true tho. The actress is, to be kind, plump. Elizabeth was tall and very thin.
@@blossomedits_1 Elizabeth was very skinny. Mis-cast.
In films Elizabeth I has been played by Bette Davis and Judi Dench. Hardly tall and slender.
Click bait!!!! Next to nothing on the makeup!!
Edward had covid perhaps?
she was a witch. professional
She was so much like her dad, vivacious like her mom. Oh, I do not believe she didn’t have money. All clothes were changed, mended as needed and her jewelry.,Wow, look at the pearls, rubies on her clothing.
