Elizabeth seemed to inspire chivalrous & protective conduct among her ministers, courtiers & clergy. We know that she was *intensely* loyal to her servants & her relatives (especially on the Boleyn side), so I suspect that she showed appreciation for her Bishop.
🇭🇲🦘 Such a thoughtful (if not painful) gesture by this man, in an attempt to help ease his Queen's concerns and make her 'act' - which she later did. Chivalry at its best! This 'act of chivalry' taking place in 1578. John Aylmer dying 16 years later, in 1594. What a kind man this Bishop of London must have been! .. A painful 'act' for him (at the time) but a lovely story about him. .. "Thank you" Claire 👑👍
@@marionarnott750 I doubt he would have been as cynical as that. After all, it would have been her ladies who would have known Elizabeth couldn't sleep and who she complained to first, and the most to. Then maybe her physicians called to assist. The Bishop on hearing of the Queen's fear of having her tooth removed (and in such pain) then offering to have his perfectly good tooth removed to 'show' her she'd be alright. ..cont. So, in reply to your comment to me! .. My point being that many others would have been dealing with her complaints, long before this man. His action encouraging the Queen to later 'act' and have her tooth out. The Queen then recovering well, leaving the Bishop with one less tooth for his trouble. ..cont. Thus, an 'act of chivalry' (an act of sacrifice and kindness). OF COURSE - this is only my interpretation of the story told by Claire.
@@anneboleynfiles I totally agree. All the more reason to be impressed with the Bishop's selfless actions. Especially considering dentistry in the 1500s. Even now, we ALL hate going to the dentist, but back then - an even bigger OUCH! 😩
I don't think even someone as accomplished as Claire could've told us about about the bishops career in less than a minute 😅😅 I recall Claire telling us this story before, probably in a longer video. It's a lovely story about a loyal and sweet sacrifice by the faithful Bishop. Not many would be so committed. Apparently Elizabeth had very bad teeth due to her love of sweets. Thanks Claire! 😊
Claire the shorts are being recategorized it seems - unless you recategorized them? On the app the regular format is gone, whereas longer videos are same format of video, description area and comments. that’s gone now on the shorts. I also wanted to ask you where do people go to ask you those questions you take sometimes and answer with their names? Thanks x
I hope Elizabeth appreciated the good bishop
We'll never know.

I'm getting a root canal on monday. I can so relate to the queen. Thank God for modern painkillers.
Yes, I hate dentists at the best of times! I hope your root canal goes well.
I went to the dentist today - I’m with Elizabeth! Ouch!

Or perhaps he just wanted to make her stop complaining!

I definitely wouldn't have offered to have a tooth extracted, I'm such a wimp when it comes to dentistry.

Devoted servant.
Interesting story, clair! Thank you

Thanks Claire! 😊
Yes, sugar was quite a novelty at the time!
So hope she appreciated his dedication to his queen. Not sure I’d do it! I like lots of needles and no pain! Thank you Claire 🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I hope so too!

Of course he may have been going to have the tooth out anyway! And does anyone know if Elizabeth subsequently had her tooth taken out?
