17:45 tudor women in the early times did not wear stays. it was the kirtle that was kind of stiff and helped them achieve the shape they look they wanted. it was more in the elizabethan era when the pair of bodies got adopted. The first mention of pair of bodies is in 1571, for Elizabeth I's wardrobe. www.elizabethancostume.net/corsets/history.html this explains it well.
Why do so many of the French hoods have a fabric headband of what looks like gold silk with black stripes? Beautiful! Why are so many of that particular fabric design?
I'm really struggling with this. Anne Boleyn, not Mary Boleyn, married Henry. The constant references to Mary are grating, especially when it clearly says Anne on screen! The Tudors took power in 1485 not 1483, after Richard 3 was defeated at Bosworth. There were still Plantagenet rebellions after Tudor took power, and there was plenty of turmoil and upheaval after. Burgundy wasn't part of France or England. At best, Burgundy was an ally of England. Most of the time, they weren't even so much as an ally of France - a sister of Edward 4, Margaret, married a Burgundian and became the ArchDuchess. But it was governed separately and *never* part of England. In 1500, Henry wasn't even Prince of Wales, let alone King. He was still the second son, the spare, destined for the church. Richard 3's brother was King Edward 4. The portrait of Henry wasn't him in his prime - Holbein painted him when he was ageing and obese, Henry in his prime was as a young man, in his early 20s. He was well into his 40s when this portrait was painted in 1536. The portrait of the lady at 29:44 is Lady Helena Snakenborg. She was Swedish and came to England as part of the embassy when the Swedish King was seeking Elizabeth's hand in marriage, and she stayed and married an English man, serving as a lady in waiting to Elizabeth up to her death in 1603. Hampton Court is a Palace, not a castle. We don't think E1 had smallpox - we know she did. The portrait at 22:47 is John Howe, painted by someone in the artistic circle of Marcus Gheeraert the Younger. At 12:45 "distract" not detract. Interesting video, shame the wild inaccuracies which kind of ruin it and make this a more frustrating than enjoyable watch.
This is very inaccurate historically. Burgundy was never part of France in the renaissance or before. Burgundy was never part of England’s territories in France either. It was an independent country and part of the Holy Roman Austrian Empire Definitely not part of France or an English territory. It’s now Belgium more or less.

There it is again in the gabled hood. Had it recently become available? Was it an early band name?

A high forehead was a componant of beauty? During the 15th century? Before?
Battle of Bosworth was 1485, not 1483
