She was the only monarch of that time NOT persecuting subjects for their religious beliefs. As you’ve pointed out, she told them to worship as they pleased, without fear or favour. Ironically Protestant zealot John Knox used his connections, influence, everything in his armory to turn the country against Mary for marrying Bothwell but his real problem was with her religion. No good deed goes unpunished eh?
@@lyndsaycrawford I think that John Knox's primary problem was that she was woman with power, she was a woman on the throne..he considered women as a weaker sex.
@@chandanam.5559 you’re absolutely right & a catholic woman at that! He was a misogynistic bastard but also a religious zealot. Mary’s nobles were in on it with Knox. She was in danger as soon as she had baby James. The nobles wanted the young prince to mound into a Protestant king! Stupid Bothwell was advised if he married Mary, they’d support him for being named king, they didn’t. Then as soon as she abdicated she was in danger from Elizabeth (more so Elizabeth advisors, especially walsingham.) Mary just ended up an inconvenience either side of the border & Walsingham had his own personal reasons for wanting to bring MQOS down. He was in Paris when Catherine de Medici is believed to have heavily influenced The St.Bartholomew day massacre. Killing 1000’s of Protestants, Walsingham was in Paris & almost killed him self & Mary was Elizabeth’s prisoner at this time with catholic support coming for her all over catholic Europe. I know Mary got herself into a questionable situation with the Babington plot, I don’t believe she was completely innocent of it, a bit of entrapment was at play, by walsingham, & no one knows if she was actually going to go through with the plotters plans or she just had nothing to lose & was going to make a run for Scotland. I suppose we’ll never know like most of history there’s a lot of blanks that get filled in that we really have no idea about.
Mary Queen of Scots was considered a beauty standing at 5'11 with auburn hair, a pale complexion, delicate slender hands and a charming personality that everyone was drawn to. No wonder Elizabeth I did not want to meet her face to face. Lord Darnley always puzzled me in appearance but you helped change that! It would be awesome if you did a video on Mary's successor James I of England. His portraits always seem off to me, since Mary and Lord Darnley were considered lookers in their time, yet their son not so much. Keep up the great work!
Love how these historical people look so alive, instead of being flat painted images. Great work!……Mary’s father was the cutest. Would have loved to have met him.

When we consider how cruel Darnley was to Mary and how abusive, it’s amazing how innocent he looks in this picture and how easily people were fooled into thinking he was a decent man.
@@panagiotisconstantinou he and his friends beat her male private secretary to death in front of Mary and her ladies in waiting. He was a horrible controlling bully from what I’ve read. He had smallpox when he was killed. He was living separately from Mary.
@@panagiotisconstantinou apparently her private secretary, Rizzio, was stabbed 56 times in front of her. Darnley wanted To force Mary to name him her successor to the Scottish throne. She refused and he continued to bully and rage to try to force her to agree. He drank heavily and was very vain and controlling.
In my opinion he was looking very much like I would imagine a narcissistic psychopath... I have known someone very similarly looking. He was terrorising me...
@@cheg753David Rizzio was stabbed to death in front of her, allegedly she stood in front of him & they put a knife to her pregnant stomach. Darnley was not the mastermind behind that, he was completely fitted up for organising the whole thing but he was a useless spoilt man who had allegedly been sleeping with Rizzio. I don’t think he showed his true colours till after they were married (their wedding night) James vi hung a few of the earls involved in all that when he came into his majority.
You can certainly see the Tudor heritage in James V. His father James IV married Margaret Tudor, daughter of King Henry VII and sister of Henry VIII. From this descent the Stuarts ascended the Throne of England and Ireland in 1603. This new power house of one person in command of the British Isles led to the foundation of the British Empire.
Yes! And I would also like Cosimo il Vecchio de' Medici, Lorenzo il Magnifico, Giuliano de' Medici plus a video dedicated to Botticelli and his muse Simonetta Vespucci! Thank you for this great video on the Stuart🤩
She was the only monarch of her time not persecuting ppl for their religious beliefs. Told ppl to worship as they pleased without fear or favour & it was used against her by Protestant reformer John Knox not to mention most of the nobles at her court.

And my homecountry of Denmark also plays a part in the story . After Mary was forced to abdicate . James Hepburn , the earl of Bothwell fleed to Denmark . Properbly in hopes of finding danish support in restoring Mary to the throne . But the danish King Frederik the second was an ally of Queen Elizabeth the first of England …So Bothwell was arrested . The danish King had him imprisoned at Dragsholm castle (75 kilometers West of the danish Capital Copenhagen ). There Bothwell would ke keept untill his death in 1578 at the age of 44 . He spent 11 years as prisoner of the danish King … He was buried at Fårevejle Church , close to the castle. Where he is still buried today . Scotland has tried to get his remains returned . Latest attempt was in 2006 . But Denmark has this far refused …. And its said that the ghost of James Hepburn , the earl of Bothwell hounts Dragsholm to this day . But he still rests in Fårevejle Church . And guests can see his coffin in the crypt under the Church . . Originaly Bothwell was in coffin made of glas . But in 1976 . His remains was put in closed wodden coffin made of oak tree…
@@panagiotisconstantinou You can find it online . And also both Dragsholm castle and Fårde Vejle Church is open to puplic … Today Dragsholm castle is hotel and restaurant .

Only just recently happened across your work! Amazing and dare I say a little spooky sometimes. I have a love of our earlier monarchy, namely Alfred the Great, Edward his son and Athelstan his grandson. They were really very much ahead of their time, making political alignments and forging the way to the England we now know. I am not particularly tied to a religion but find it fascinating how social history has evolved over the centuries with the church and monarchy, and later parliament, all tied together. And other key characters Oliver Cromwell, Charles I and II. That's it, my brain is off... Guy Fawkes! I'll leave you in peace. Thanks so much for your videos 💜
@ron con leche So maybe it is a matter of taste. Or maybe you are a heterosexual man. I'm a heterosexual woman with a pretty good taste in men. Cheers 😊
I feel like Mary’s hair should have been lighter and redder, but I enjoyed the video. Also, Darnley had thin eyebrows in the portrait, but you gave him rather thick ones in the likeness!

I love this i like you to do all of the scottish heros off the wars of Scottish Independence William Wallace Andrew De Moray John de graham John De red Comyn James the black Douglas King Robert The Bruce King edward 1 King Edward 2 I will look forward to that one.
Coming out of the cocoon of history, Mary, Queen of Scots smiles at us through the lens of the past into the present in our time. Leaving a legacy that beggar's belief, her life was one of being the Queen of a people to one of being controlled and confined to residences and finally double-crossed undoubtedly so she could be gotten rid of for an alleged act of treachery. This is where we come from. Our past is our refuge and the library of our civilization. Bringing to life some of the characters that beat all the odds to have their lives forever known enriches us and allows us to understand how complex human beings really are and why we are capable of good and evil deeds.
The music is sublime and I feel like I got warped in the 1500s. Seems like good looks run in the family and her husbands' families, though Lord Darnley looks quite effeminate and James Hepburn looks like a villain with those icy eyes and stares.
Always look forward to your work have you thought about Robert the Bruce and William the counquer also ancient Persia and Kings of Assyria your work is outstanding
Interesting. Darnley is particularly good. James V seemed to have more well defined, shapelier and lips in his original portraits. Mary's lips in portraits were also shapely but thinner. Her skin was pale but I don't think she had marks on her skin. I don't know of any references to that. I don't think that execution picture at the end has been correctly attributed. It doesn't look like Mary Queen of Scots, and Mary wore a red dress at her execution which was on a platform in front of a crowd.
yeah? In my opinion they all look quite average... besides when Mary died and her head was chopped off, it came out that she was wearing a wig all that time and her real hair were very thin and grey...also she was 45 when she died, in those times women used A LOT of very bad products on their hair and face and etc(thats why most high class ladies lost their hair), they had very bad diet and also they were never really clean ,so I dont think that none of those queens and kings looked good, maybe when they were young, but we willnever know how they looked exactly
@@jamellfoster6029 I don’t think they were conventional lookers but they there’s definitely something alluring there. By all accounts James IV was extremely intelligent man, dead curious & quit witted & a warriors heart, he may not be the most handsome Stuart but sometimes there’s more to attraction than looks. I think there were worse kings to be married to back then & they did not too bad for wives, good gene pool. I’ve never read anything that’s not flattering to Mary Stuart. Her grandmother, Antoinette de Bourbon, Duchess of Guise, described her as ‘very pretty indeed’, and likely to be a beautiful woman, with an especially smooth complexion. Her fond grandmother described her eyes as deep-set, beneath a high forehead. Their colour was light-brown, and her hair was very fair, although it later darkened to red-gold. As much as anything, Mary’s physical attractiveness was in her grace and lightness of movement. Again, I think she was an alternate beauty, but men were said to be easily smitten with her, Mary doll was a charmer, beauty isn’t all about the physical. My research leads me to believe the Scottish Stuart’s had character, or maybe it’s just cos I’m Scottish 🏴 but i love their look & the way they did things Sorry that went on a bit 😬
@@HK-gm8pe yep, 45 back then was like 70 now. I think she wore a wig on purpose. Elizabeth had wooden fake teeth due to liking sweet things. Like you said bad diet, ruining their skin & hair. That’s Mary’s later years though. There’s no denying she was radiant in her youth. I think I see something handsome in the Stuart kings cos things I’ve read about their lives, like I said probably being biased.
@@lyndsaycrawford Mary was a good combination of her Mom & Dad- a good looking couple. And she was very intelligent... She was very kind & religiously tolerant as well especially for her time (16th Century Europe)...
Stunning....but Elizabeth and Mary were first cousins ONCE REMOVED...as Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII, was the brother of Mary , Queen of Scots Grandmother, who was Margaret Tudor.
@@Annejane100 a commonly held but incorrect assumption. Second cousins are my children and my cousin's children, both on the same generational line. Mary and Elizabeth were not, they were a generation apart, therefore FIRST COUSINS ONCE REMOVED.☺️☺️☺️
@@noorashidahshiedah9569 no, an Aunt is your mother or father's sister, and a niece is your brother or sister's child. They were first cousins once removed.
WOW 😊 I finally know how king James V of scotland really looked like. This made my day 😍 He is very handsome. Could you please 🙏 do one where we could see what his parents James IV And Margaret Tudor really looked like? That would be really awesome to see.
And she was the Henry viii eldest sister. Which gave mary Stuart seniority over Mary’s tudors children & grandchildren. They already tried this with whole Lady Jane Grey debacle when Edward vi named LJG his heir. They were grandchild, I think, of mary Tudor, Henry’s youngest sister.
@@lorenefairchild7616 you are right, it was Margaret Tudor. who was married to king James IV, Mary Queen of Scots grandfather. They already tried through Mary’s line with lady Jane Grey but Margaret Tudor was the eldest sister & I’d say seniority would give Mary Stuart a wee bit more of a right than Mary’s descendants, the youngest of all Henry’s siblings.
Like for the video. It was great! As for Mary, her father, her husbands...hm... beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. And I really don't understand what she saw in any of her husbands.
Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots) was a Cousin to Mary I Tudor (Bloody Mary). Henry VIII's sister Margaret married James IV of Scotland. They had James V. James V was father to Mary Stuart (his only living and legitimate child; becoming queen at just 6 days old after her father James V was killed in Battle)
Mary Stuart(Stewart) : Father: VJames Mother :Marie de Guise Raised in France with a royal bloodline Bloody Mary Mother:Cathrine of Aragon Father: VIII. Henry
You should have put a picture of David Rizzio up as well, as the main reason for Darnley's death was he and others murdered Rizzio in a fit of jealously (Darnley's reason) and hatred (by others) of the detested little foreigner. Darnley's death was carried out in a fit of revenge, although we willprobably never knowfor sure if Mary was in on the plot, I think she knew of it and agreed to it, albeit covertly, but didn't know how Darnley was going to die and who was going to do it. Mary's enemies believed Rizzio was the real father of her son James, and poor James was know by them as "black solomen" aside from being known as "The wisest fool in christendom" perhaps not quite the fool because at least he died in his bed rather than brutally as his mother had done or on some blood-soaked battlefield. Mary's father I believe had been injured at Solway Moss and basically died of his injuries.
Mary arrived in France, in summer of 1548, she was well-grown for her age. Her grandmother, Antoinette de Bourbon, Duchess of Guise, described her as ‘very pretty indeed’, and likely to be a beautiful woman, with an especially smooth complexion. Her fond grandmother described her eyes as deep-set, beneath a high forehead. Their colour was light-brown, and her hair was very fair, although it later darkened to red-gold. As much as anything, Mary’s physical attractiveness was in her grace and lightness of movement.
Love this! Thanks for not giving her the same toothy smile as everyone else. I love the smiles but everyone's teeth are different. Just an observation.
Nice presentation, I wish there was mention of her secretary and what Darnley did to him. I guess there were no paintings of him. His name was David Riccio.
There is no known likeness of Eleanor of Aquitaine (i.e. verified portraits painted of her while she was alive.) Any portrayals are only later artists' interpretations of what she may have looked like.
Lord Darnley was much better looking than his official portrait shows. I’m struck how his eye brows were depicted as thin lines giving him a feminine appearance
I enjoyed the TV series about Mary Queen of Scots called Reign. I'm sure there was a lot of dramatic license taken with the series, but the basics were true. Gorgeous Adelaide Kane played a striking and enchanting Mary.
I am happy for people to enjoy it as entertainment (I am afraid I cannot, personally) but sorry, even the basics were almost as far from being true as they could be. The only truth in it was the country it was set in at any given time.
The Stuart dynasty is my family's lineage. My grandfather William Charles Stuart was the last living direct descendent of the Stuart dynasty. I remember him and the family speaking of when he received his share of the royal inheritance. I'm not sure how much that was, but both he and Reva received an inheritance for getting married by a certain age according to their families vows to marriage before birth. There is much more to the depth of all this than realized, as the Stuarts are the true heirs to the municipalities and principalities, while the current ruling parasite Stewart clan is not.
@somebody awe that's too cute, more narcissistic devaluing from a low level covert narcissist 😉 jealous much. Bet it's because you won't ever receive a royal inheritance, since you're nOt descendent of royal blood. Oh well, it is what it is 😍
This sounds like some grade A nonsense. You know the current Jacobite, i.e. Stuart, heir right now is Max-Emanuel Ludwig Maria Herzog, the brother of the Duke of Bavaria, right?
It’s the same clan. There was no W in the French alphabet so Mary changed it to Stuart but her ancestors, Marjorie Bruce & Walter Stewart birthed the royal dynasty. It doesn’t mean everyone changed their spelling to Stewart. There are a good few descendants left from the Stuart/Stewart line including the current Queen Elizabeth ii
"Regardless of my faith, I am not a Catholic queen, I am not a Protestant queen, I am not a French queen, I am your queen." ... Mary Queen of Scots
She was the only monarch of that time NOT persecuting subjects for their religious beliefs. As you’ve pointed out, she told them to worship as they pleased, without fear or favour.

Coming out of the cocoon of history, Mary, Queen of Scots smiles at us through the lens of the past into the present in our time. Leaving a legacy that beggar's belief, her life was one of being the Queen of a people to one of being controlled and confined to residences and finally double-crossed undoubtedly so she could be gotten rid of for an alleged act of treachery. This is where we come from. Our past is our refuge and the library of our civilization. Bringing to life some of the characters that beat all the odds to have their lives forever known enriches us and allows us to understand how complex human beings really are and why we are capable of good and evil deeds.
Great stuff. You are so clever PC, really brings these people to life! Thank you.
The music is sublime and I feel like I got warped in the 1500s. Seems like good looks run in the family and her husbands' families, though Lord Darnley looks quite effeminate and James Hepburn looks like a villain with those icy eyes and stares.
he was a villain. Darnley didn't dead himself.
ThNk you for Lord Darnleys likeness. In his portraits he looks more like a girl than Mary%, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I always found Lord Darnley unattractive in his pictures. You changed my mind!! Thank you for another wonderful video! I can’t wait for the next one!!
same
I was like 👀👀👀
Thank you
Always look forward to your work have you thought about Robert the Bruce and William the counquer also ancient Persia and Kings of Assyria your work is outstanding
Can u do about holy Roman emperor Charles V and his wife isabella of Portugal,have to see that Habsburg jaw
Delightful music and images. I'm a fan.
Interesting. Darnley is particularly good. James V seemed to have more well defined, shapelier and lips in his original portraits. Mary's lips in portraits were also shapely but thinner. Her skin was pale but I don't think she had marks on her skin. I don't know of any references to that. I don't think that execution picture at the end has been correctly attributed. It doesn't look like Mary Queen of Scots, and Mary wore a red dress at her execution which was on a platform in front of a crowd.
Very cool!!!
♥️thank you
I always thought the Stuart’s looked good even in the old paintings. No bias at all! Alba gu bràth 🏴🏴🏴
yeah? In my opinion they all look quite average... besides when Mary died and her head was chopped off, it came out that she was wearing a wig all that time and her real hair were very thin and grey...also she was 45 when she died, in those times women used A LOT of very bad products on their hair and face and etc(thats why most high class ladies lost their hair), they had very bad diet and also they were never really clean ,so I dont think that none of those queens and kings looked good, maybe when they were young, but we willnever know how they looked exactly
They were good looking especially after they intermarried with the Tudors (Margaret Tudor was very pretty)...
@@jamellfoster6029 I don’t think they were conventional lookers but they there’s definitely something alluring there.
By all accounts James IV was extremely intelligent man, dead curious & quit witted & a warriors heart, he may not be the most handsome Stuart but sometimes there’s more to attraction than looks. I think there were worse kings to be married to back then & they did not too bad for wives, good gene pool.
I’ve never read anything that’s not flattering to Mary Stuart. Her grandmother, Antoinette de Bourbon, Duchess of Guise, described her as ‘very pretty indeed’, and likely to be a beautiful woman, with an especially smooth complexion. Her fond grandmother described her eyes as deep-set, beneath a high forehead. Their colour was light-brown, and her hair was very fair, although it later darkened to red-gold. As much as anything, Mary’s physical attractiveness was in her grace and lightness of movement. Again, I think she was an alternate beauty, but men were said to be easily smitten with her, Mary doll was a charmer, beauty isn’t all about the physical.
My research leads me to believe the Scottish Stuart’s had character, or maybe it’s just cos I’m Scottish 🏴 but i love their look & the way they did things
Sorry that went on a bit 😬
@@HK-gm8pe yep, 45 back then was like 70 now. I think she wore a wig on purpose. Elizabeth had wooden fake teeth due to liking sweet things. Like you said bad diet, ruining their skin & hair.
That’s Mary’s later years though. There’s no denying she was radiant in her youth.
I think I see something handsome in the Stuart kings cos things I’ve read about their lives, like I said probably being biased.
@@lyndsaycrawford Mary was a good combination of her Mom & Dad- a good looking couple. And she was very intelligent... She was very kind & religiously tolerant as well especially for her time (16th Century Europe)...
So much research!Amazing results.Thank you
Thank you ☺️
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Fabulous
I love these! Can't wait to see the Borgias.
Stunning....but Elizabeth and Mary were first cousins ONCE REMOVED...as Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII, was the brother of Mary , Queen of Scots Grandmother, who was Margaret Tudor.
They were 2nd cousin's
@@Annejane100 a commonly held but incorrect assumption. Second cousins are my children and my cousin's children, both on the same generational line. Mary and Elizabeth were not, they were a generation apart, therefore FIRST COUSINS ONCE REMOVED.☺️☺️☺️
@@sylviawilson6160 thanks didn't know that
so they're a aunty and a niece?
@@noorashidahshiedah9569 no, an Aunt is your mother or father's sister, and a niece is your brother or sister's child. They were first cousins once removed.
Wonderful to see these people brought to life instead of staring at us through portraits. Mary had a tragic life.
your works are amazing! please keep it up
WOW 😊 I finally know how king James V of scotland really looked like. This made my day 😍 He is very handsome. Could you please 🙏 do one where we could see what his parents James IV And Margaret Tudor really looked like? That would be really awesome to see.
Nice video, well done likenesses.
Such a tragic story.
Brilliant as always 🥰
I’d love to see Bonnie Prince Charlie!!!
Lovely
Fantastic
Mary Tudor was Henry VIII sister. Thus the cousin relationship of Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots.
Henry did have a sister named Mary but it was his sister Margaret who married James of Scotland.
And she was the Henry viii eldest sister. Which gave mary Stuart seniority over Mary’s tudors children & grandchildren. They already tried this with whole Lady Jane Grey debacle when Edward vi named LJG his heir. They were grandchild, I think, of mary Tudor, Henry’s youngest sister.
@@lorenefairchild7616 you are right, it was Margaret Tudor. who was married to king James IV, Mary Queen of Scots grandfather. They already tried through Mary’s line with lady Jane Grey but Margaret Tudor was the eldest sister & I’d say seniority would give Mary Stuart a wee bit more of a right than Mary’s descendants, the youngest of all Henry’s siblings.
Fantastico!!!!! Bravissimo
Like for the video. It was great! As for Mary, her father, her husbands...hm... beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. And I really don't understand what she saw in any of her husbands.
To be fair some of them weren't her choice...
Hope to see Habsburg family in your video.
Is this not the idea of another channel? I mean, from "Mortal faces"?
Queen Mary is my 12th great aunt.
I feel like I knew some of these people in a past life somehow.
Absolutely stunning.Beautiful music too. I am confused between Mary Stuart and the Bloody Mary.
Mary Stuart (Queen of Scots) was a Cousin to Mary I Tudor (Bloody Mary). Henry VIII's sister Margaret married James IV of Scotland. They had James V. James V was father to Mary Stuart (his only living and legitimate child; becoming queen at just 6 days old after her father James V was killed in Battle)
@@malloryjademoore6227 THANK YOU!!!:))
@@malloryjademoore6227 you Scottish by any chance lol. I am & I’m always explaining this one to ppl.
Mary Stuart(Stewart) :
Father: VJames
Mother :Marie de Guise
Raised in France with a royal bloodline
Bloody Mary Mother:Cathrine of Aragon
Father: VIII. Henry
@@gingerbread2984 it was Stewart until Mary went to France. There was no W in the French alphabet, Mary changed it to Stuart.
Beautifully done. Some of them look treacherous and probably were lol.
Oh you really follow my request thank you
Love this. Their face really fit their history to me
Fascinating!
Absolutely fascinating…
You’re making everyone so gorgeous. Come work on me 😂😂😂
I love it 👏👏👏👏👌
Amazing! TY x
You should have put a picture of David Rizzio up as well, as the main reason for Darnley's death was he and others murdered Rizzio in a fit of jealously (Darnley's reason) and hatred (by others) of the detested little foreigner. Darnley's death was carried out in a fit of revenge, although we willprobably never knowfor sure if Mary was in on the plot, I think she knew of it and agreed to it, albeit covertly, but didn't know how Darnley was going to die and who was going to do it. Mary's enemies believed Rizzio was the real father of her son James, and poor James was know by them as "black solomen" aside from being known as "The wisest fool in christendom" perhaps not quite the fool because at least he died in his bed rather than brutally as his mother had done or on some blood-soaked battlefield. Mary's father I believe had been injured at Solway Moss and basically died of his injuries.
OMG! The young James V looks like the Hoof GP! 😲
Mary arrived in France, in summer of 1548, she was well-grown for her age. Her grandmother, Antoinette de Bourbon, Duchess of Guise, described her as ‘very pretty indeed’, and likely to be a beautiful woman, with an especially smooth complexion. Her fond grandmother described her eyes as deep-set, beneath a high forehead. Their colour was light-brown, and her hair was very fair, although it later darkened to red-gold. As much as anything, Mary’s physical attractiveness was in her grace and lightness of movement.
I just love your work. I wonder why they painted people like that then
Love this! Thanks for not giving her the same toothy smile as everyone else. I love the smiles but everyone's teeth are different. Just an observation.
Nice presentation, I wish there was mention of her secretary and what Darnley did to him. I guess there were no paintings of him. His name was David Riccio.
What’s the name of the song and artist @ 4:00 and on? So beautiful
Have you yet created Prince Rupert of the Rhine, the nephew of Charles I? I love your channel 😊💛
Pls do Elizabeth of Woodville, Eleanor of Aquitaine and Elizabeth of York and as I know they are reported as stunning
There is no known likeness of Eleanor of Aquitaine (i.e. verified portraits painted of her while she was alive.) Any portrayals are only later artists' interpretations of what she may have looked like.
@@lisalu910 I believe that she is on her tomb with her husband Henry II. And with their son I know Richard I at their feet.
Lord Darnley was much better looking than his official portrait shows. I’m struck how his eye brows were depicted as thin lines giving him a feminine appearance
This is the best
I enjoyed the TV series about Mary Queen of Scots called Reign. I'm sure there was a lot of dramatic license taken with the series, but the basics were true. Gorgeous Adelaide Kane played a striking and enchanting Mary.
I am happy for people to enjoy it as entertainment (I am afraid I cannot, personally) but sorry, even the basics were almost as far from being true as they could be. The only truth in it was the country it was set in at any given time.
Sublime artistic expression.
What is the music you use?
Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
This was very well done - only thing, IMO, was that the script was too small and rather fleeting at times....
I can see a resemblance between her and her Tudor relatives.
The Stuart dynasty is my family's lineage. My grandfather William Charles Stuart was the last living direct descendent of the Stuart dynasty. I remember him and the family speaking of when he received his share of the royal inheritance. I'm not sure how much that was, but both he and Reva received an inheritance for getting married by a certain age according to their families vows to marriage before birth. There is much more to the depth of all this than realized, as the Stuarts are the true heirs to the municipalities and principalities, while the current ruling parasite Stewart clan is not.
@somebody gas lighting narcissist, you're jealous 😃
@somebody awe that's too cute, more narcissistic devaluing from a low level covert narcissist 😉 jealous much. Bet it's because you won't ever receive a royal inheritance, since you're nOt descendent of royal blood. Oh well, it is what it is 😍
This sounds like some grade A nonsense.
You know the current Jacobite, i.e. Stuart, heir right now is Max-Emanuel Ludwig Maria Herzog, the brother of the Duke of Bavaria, right?
It’s the same clan. There was no W in the French alphabet so Mary changed it to Stuart but her ancestors, Marjorie Bruce & Walter Stewart birthed the royal dynasty. It doesn’t mean everyone changed their spelling to Stewart. There are a good few descendants left from the Stuart/Stewart line including the current Queen Elizabeth ii
@@lyndsaycrawford 100% untrue
Can you do the Habsburgs?
The music i think plays in
The Sims Medieval Game !!!
You can see where James V got his colouring from. His Tudor mother.
Can you do Henry six wives please and Edward Vi
