    This was great- Henry VI is not Tudor unfortunately.... Henry VII begins the Tudor period in 1485 with the Battle of Bosworth. Also Elizabeth I can also be considered 'Tudor' since she is Henry VIII's daughter- so the Tudor period can technically be 1485-1603. These ceilings are so gorgeous and so thankful you shared! Looks like similar molding in the Great Chamber to the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace.

    From a fellow American-Henry VI was not a Tudor. The Tudor era began with Henry VII in 1485, went through Henry VIII, Edward, Mary, and finished with Elizabeth’s death in 1603. It’s a lot and can be confusing! Love England and my visits to Tudor era houses!

I’m an artist originally from England, and am very keen to know more about the paintings. I love slow pans of them in close up, to see the quality of the work and how they are made, and the stories behind the portraits and artists. Thank you very much, your videos have been a wonderful distraction from the pandemic and a recent hurricane we had near Houston. Kind regards, Hazel.

My great- grandparents left aristocratic life in the Cotswolds to move to Canada ( family disagreed with my gg marrying a Frenchwoman, a snobbish view in that era.

    I love your house!! I love the history of Britain and the monarchy, however Henry VI was a Plantagenet. Henry Tudor was Henry VII who was coronated in 1485. You did get the Tudor date right!! With the coronation of Henry VII, this not only brought an end to the War of the Roses (aka Cousin's War), but also brought us the Tudor Rose which was both white (York rose color) and red (Lancaster rose color). Henry VII's wife was Elizabeth of York, daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. Henry VII and Elizabeth of York were Henry VIII's parents. Sorry, I am an American obsessed with the British monarchy :-)

    Hi Julie, excuse me for asking, but didn’t the Tudor period begin with King Henry (Tudor) the 7th and not Henry the 6th as stated? I could be wrong, but I thought the Tudor period did not begin until then. Btw, a big hello from the U.S., as we’re from close to your old stomping grounds. I was born in Hammond, In. and brought up there and Valparaiso, In. My husband was brought up in Midlothian, Ill. area. We still have relations in Evanston, Ill.

    "Otium cum dignitate" = "Leisure with dignity." After listening to your explanation, I can see why you would translate it as "after so many shipwrecks, finally a harbour," but I would go with "our leisure is been dignified by the amount of effort we had to put into earning it". The emphasis is, I think, more on the idea of being worthy of people's respect even when, at present, one is not actively involved in great state matters/wars because one has indeed already been in the past and quite successfully so. Hence the idea of "well-deserved leisure." Love your home, your dress and your shoes, BTW!
