- What did the Tudors wear? The Tudor courters were the original power dressers and the 16th century Tudor court clothes had many meanings. Discussed in this second video we look at kirtles, partlets, coifs, headwear, French hoods, English gabled hoods and how the influencers of their day determined the fashion.
THE TUDORS
The Tudor dynasty was a series of kings and queens of England. This line of rulers started in 1485 and lasted until 1603.
The dynasty started when Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This was the final stage of the Wars of the Roses and made him King Henry VII of England. Arthur, Prince of Wales, was the oldest son of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. He married Catherine of Aragon. She was the daughter of Ferdinand II of Argon and Isabella I of Castle). Arthur died in 1502 and did not become King.
Henry VIII
When Henry VII died in 1509, Arthur's brother, Henry VIII married Catherine and became king.
During her marriage to Henry VIII, Catherine had six children. Only one of these children, Mary, survived. When Catherine became too old to have any more children, Henry divorced her (breaking with Rome and become the head of the Church of England himself), so that he could marry Anne Boleyn. Henry and Boleyn also had a daughter, Elizabeth. Anne Boleyn was executed in 1536.
Shortly after, Henry VIII married Jane Seymour of England. She had one son, Edward VI of England, who would later become king himself at the age of 9. Jane died in 1537. Her death was caused by medical problems caused by Edward's birth.
Henry married three other wives (Anne of Cleves, Katherine Howard and Katherine Parr) before his death in 1547. Edward, his only living son, became King after Henry died.
In 1553, Edward became ill. He created the "Device for Succession.". He said that his cousin, Lady Jane Grey, would be Queen after he died. Lady Jane lived for only nine days as Queen.
Henry's daughter, Mary I of England, was the next ruler of the Tudor dynasty. Mary was a strong believer in Catholicism. As Queen, Mary did many things against hundreds of Protestants. Because of all the executions while she was Queen, she was given the nickname "Bloody Mary", which is a name for a modern cocktail today.
After Mary's death in 1558, her half-sister Elizabeth I of England became queen. Unlike Mary, Elizabeth was a Protestant. Elizabeth never married or had children. Because she never married, Elizabeth is often called the "Virgin Queen". She was well liked by most of the people of England.
The dynasty ended when Elizabeth died. She had not named a person to be ruler after her death. When she died, James I became King of England. He was the son of Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Stuart. This started the Stuart dynasty.

It’s almost furnishings rather than clothing. It’s like an upholstered body.
Beautiful Lace
This video is very informative and shows how the Tudors used clothing to show off their wealth and power.
We can certainly see ourselves in this - who has the best house, car or designer clothes! 🙂
Power and wealth. I think this is what it was all about. Very interesting video, thank you,
The Gloriana style is quite gruesome. It may have symbolised power but it also unintentionally showed that power doesn't always bear good fruit. To put it very mildly. I much prefer the black and white with gold. Although the virgin queen narrative is beyond ridiculous.
Also, I *SO* like this famous portrait of Elizabeth I as a young woman in the red dress. How beautiful is that!
Anyway, thanks for this great video, greetings and have a great weekend ☀️ !
We all know these clothes would have been spectacular. thay were like shape shifters how thay changed the silhouette of there bodys. I love the clothes in the Tudor times .Both men and women looked wonderful. If I had a time machine it would be the Tudor times that i would love to vist ❤
I like the style!
Thank you my lady!
Your videos are remarkable!
Liz’s hand is on her dad’s cod piece...0:20
I still don't understand why "coif" is pronounced "koyf" and not "kwaff"... as it comes from the french "coiffure" and that is indeed pronounced "kwahfyur".
Where did the seamstress come in, who made them..who got all the jewels to put on them…I mean, look at the jewels,,pearls, rubies, lace,enamel…on and on.so who ordered these
The tudors reused the jewel ect from one garment to the next, the sleeves were detachable and interchangeable. The pearls were not always real but glass globes filled with fish scales.
I hand embroider
in real gold and silver
Tudor and Elizabethan clothing. The real metal threads are heavy and it gives the wearer a grace and elegance (read: they weigh a lot and the wearer has to walk slowly in them) a
Impressive, and everything glitters and glows in firelight, torches…
Maybe those with the Tudor last name but the Stewart's were tudors too, because of Henry's sister marrying ing to them
Nice
Gold embroidery, silver, satin, silks velvet..linen for sure..tons of pearls, jewellery, gemstones, lace ruffles…lots of padding, makes you look bigger..
I’m not sure if they were power statements but the clothes were beautiful. I live in Florida, US, and can’t imagine wearing heavy clothes. Did the Tudors wear the same garments in warm weather?
Good question!
I was told, by my historical costume instructor, that they were going through a mini ice age at the time. So it was a lot colder then as opposed to now.
I'm in the process of making a replica of a dress worn by Elizabeth ll. I'm trying to make it historically accurate as possible in this time. I wear a linen shift under all of it and that helps to keep me cool.
Little darlin' It's Tudor England, iti's never warm there, you ever lived in a castle ? Big rooms, all stone, little warmth, and that was in summer let alone in winter when you wore fur lined cloths. There was a lot of linen and silk, but after you dressed in multi layers of kirtle, chemise and stockings let alone in bodices and other bits and pieces you looked great but I never thought comfort was an issue in Tudor England, ....just a thought !
@@wmperkins25 in Tudor England the royal residencies weren’t gloomy stone castles lol they were glorious palaces with intricately engraved wooden walls and with wooden doors just like we have today, fireplaces just like we have today, and really the interiors were pretty much the same as the royal palaces are today. The gloomy stone castle interiors were more toward the 1200’s and 1300’s and not until King Richard the 2nd did the monarch begin living extremely lavishly to show they are above all men with a divine right to rule. Before Richard, kings were more like, equal to equal to other noble lords, just the one they all pick to be in charge because of his character traits and skill leading in warfare.
@@haakonaleksandr Oh I realize that, but even with the tapestries, wooden paneling and huge fireplaces, they were still not what we would consider warm......and cozy, in general'
8:48 "chagrin" with the cha of "chat" instead of the cha of "chanteuse" forgets the French roots of "chagrin"
Like woman and girls today, I think the fashion of the Tudor woman was more for comfort and style. Nothing more.
Everything…all kings and queens did power dressing
1485-1603
You use the term "corset" a few times in this video, and that's not even close to correct. The supportive undergarment in this period would have been the kirtle. Considering that the garment we now call a corset didn't appear until the 19th century, including that in this video undermines your credibility.
I guess the men went naked.
😂😂😂...oh my....I can't ..unsee ...that!🤣🤣🤣
