Okay but we need to give more flowers to homegirl that refused to turn on Catherine even after being tortured on the rack. Girl’s girlie been refusing to turn over her bestie to violent men since Tudor times. Absolute respect to her. 💐 👑
Anne Askew was a true heroine and soul. I get very emotional whenever I hear about her tragic ending. I can’t imagine as no one or anything should ever.
It’s sad to know that Catherine Parr is so underrated. Remember, Mary & Elizabeth wouldn’t be restored in the line of succession if not for her influence. By all means, she was a great stepmother to Henry’s children. She deserves more credit.
she was not a great stepmother to Elizabeth by any means, she allowed Seymour to abuse Elizabeth deeply, while Parr definitely was amazing in some aspects, her complicity and participation in this abuse really shouldn't be forgotten
Parr didn't participate or condone her husband's sexual abuse. She believed her husband was just playful with elizabeth. When she caught elizabeth in her husband's lap she sent her away. Don't forget husbands cheating on their wives with their stepdaughters who were only 13 or 14 wasn't so severely frowned upon.
People really think that she was just the boring old nursemaid whose only acconplishment was restoring Mary and Elizabeth to the succession (they weren't even named as princesses, they were just guaranteed rights to inherit the throne). Meanwhile, she presided over a turbulent court, defended herself against a king who was falling into madness, protected herself from the political machinations of her religious enemies, ruled over England as regent while Henry was away, translate the Bible into English so the common folk could read it, and was literally the first women to ever publish a book under her own name in England. I'd say her only true failure in her tenure as queen was not being able to save Anne Askew, but she was on mortal danger and was almost arrested and executed herself in what was at the time one of the worst political disasters faced by reformists in the Tudor court, and yet she drove right through her enemies and saw a great many of them humiliated. That's true female strength. She is so much more than what people make out of her. A pity she wasn't part of the regents that ruled England for her stepson and endes up dying suddenly in 1548. I have no doubt she would have made a wonderful ruler of England had she gotten the chance.
Catherine Parr did rule as regent when Henry went to war. Anne Askew’s death wasn’t exactly her responsibility especially since roughly the same time, Henry has sent for Catherine’s arrest following her argument with him. It would not be wise to upset him further. The only true failing I see of her is to fall for Thomas Seymour, one of the biggest red flags in terms of bachelors in Tudor times except for probably Henry VIII and Thomas Culpeper.
"JUST guaranteed their rights to inherit the throne"? As if that wasn't way way more important than merely having the title "Princes" or anything else? The inheritance rights were what gave Mary and Elizabeth real influence and power. And for that matter protection - far fewer people are going to plot against someone who may very well shortly be sovereign!
@@lilymarinovic1644too bad she couldn’t protect young Elizabeth from Seymour’s advances. And some historians go so far as to question if she was being groomed by him. Or at the very least to not have participated herself in his early morning romps and tickling of Elizabeth. Only sending her out of the house-hold when her eyes were blown wide open and the situation could no longer be written off as something else and word get out. That also could have been way way worse, or could it? A young girls innocence and treason?
Remember she was a writer she wrote books and psalms and meditations fought for female education so all her women can independently study scriptor she (allegedly) got a woman to paint her picture.
She truly was a marvelous and brilliant woman who most certainly changed the course of history by restoring Mary and Elizabeth to the line of succession. This was such a wonderful video, thank you Lindsay!
People can be so evil. Who would desecrate a grave and mutilate a corpse? Honestly disgusted by the thought that such people exist. Mobs make me feel sick.
Can you do: - Princess Margaret of Connaught (The Queen who never was) - Crown Princess Sibylla of Sweden (The tragic would be Queen Consort) - Maud of Wales (The Spare who turned into a Queen) - Queen Christina of Sweden (Abdicated the throne in favor of Catholic faith) - Queen Louise of Sweden (The Mountbatten Queen) - William III and Mary II (Monarchs and consorts with each other)
Yea, I hadn’t heard that either. I mean that seems awfully personal and heinous. I mean did they have some problem with her? I mean drinking doesn’t seem like enough reason.
Hey sis! I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your voice and your story telling. I know I’ve already told you but my boys and I listen to your videos before bed. They’re 12 & 15 and BOTH HISTORY BUFFS ! Please don’t ever quit! We are all 3, sending gratitude and support from Savannah GA!!
The wives of Horny Hank as my autistic teen calls him are always fascinating! They loved Six, and are a particular fan of Anne of cleves, while I've always found the "Catherine wives" fascinating
🎶five down, im the final one, i saw him till the end of his life. Im the survivor Catherine Parr.🎶 such queen energy love how she was represented in Six the musical and in Tudors the show. But knowing her historical background is by far most heart breaking poor dear, just glad she was the survivor from a tyrant king.
Honestly, when I think of Catherine Parr, I often wonder how she felt in her very final days. Did she know that she was going to die? Did she realise that she'd never see her daughter grow up? Was she heartbroken over the fact that she finally got the marriage and family she always wanted yet didn't get to fully enjoy? Did she look back on her life and feel accomplished or regretful? Or was she just delirious from the fever and couldn't even fully process that the end was near? (And I'm talking about her own personal feelings about it, not what we think of her today, in hindsight.) Her life wasn't as tragic as the Katherine she named after, but her end was still very sad...
Finally early on this ever favourite history channel. I recently saw the trailer of Firebrand and the great expressions, absolutely enamouring dresses and makeup are a showstopper. Already looking forward to see it
Catherine Parr was both an icon and a terrible person. For starters, she helped Thomas Seymour harass Elizabeth when she was a teenager and ignored all his actions towards the young girl. However she did have some redeeming qualities.
@cosxys in retrospect, should they have allowed Thomas and Elizabeth to marry? Diplomacy might have changed, but they probably wouldn't have had to kidnap a Stuart and execute his mother for no reason.
To my understanding Catherine was okay with Thomas teasing Elizabeth because she perceived his actions to be fatherly. Once she realized how inappropriate it was she put a stop to it and separated them.
Another tuesday another amazing video by the Queen of History! Your voice is so soothing and amazing to listen to Lindsay! Could hear you for hours talking about painting and never get bored! Your hardwork is always appreciated, all those AI history documentaries out there have NOTHING on you! Huge fan, and can you please consider a video on the trastamara family?
Oh wow. I am soooo grateful for living in modern times when I hear of the ignominy that women suffered not only in life but in death. This woman had no power over her own life, but seems to have been a caring and loving person nonetheless. I don’t really understand the seeming support of sexual harassment of young Elizabeth, but outside from that she seems a strong woman. I hope she’s resting in peace. The more I hear about Henry VIII, the more he seems like a psycho. Great vide, I learned a lot! Thanks for sharing your research with us ❤
ooh interesting! She really did much more than survive him- and actually didn’t even survive him by that long-, so info on her ir always welcome :) Have a nice week!
I’ve seen firebrand here in Los Angeles TWICE in a week! Loved every second of it. I also hadn’t read Fremantles novel, so was surprised by a few turns…. The firebrand title I think is fitting across the board for all 3 women depicted in the film : Anne askew, a young Elizabeth, and Queen Catherine Parr herself. All stellar performances, but it’s Jude law who is an absolute WONDER as Henry VIiI. Had my jaw on the floor how much he got right in Henry’s idiosyncrasies. Brilliant period drama and thriller. The costuming also… oh my! NAILED IT!❤
Wait until you find out that Catherine Parr was named after Catherine of Aragon, because Cat Parr’s mother was a close friend and lady-in-waiting to CoA, and CoA was godmother to Cat Parr.
This was an amazing video!!! I loved learning more information about Catherine Parr :) also I would love a video on Edward VI I feel like he is such an underrated monarch in English History.
We respect women supporting women in this house. Catherine not only did that in her life, but she was respected by Anne Askew so much that she endured torture and death at the stake without surrendering Catherine's truth. That level of respect alone tells you what rare sort of women Catherine was. Catherine was always the wife who interested me the most from the time I started looking at Tudor history. Not only because she shares my name (tbh an important thing to a 90s tween) but because she was the last and that had to mean something. It spiralled from there
Catherine also participated in the molestation and sexual assault of Elizabeth at the hands of Seymour. She only sent Elizabeth away when she thought Elizabeth was starting to be competition for her husband’s affections
I love Catherine parr. Of the 6 wives, she’s the one to like. I just hope the movie doesn’t mess her up too much because the real woman was Smart, strong, compassionate, pious…. And a good stepmother up until the whole Thomas Seymour thing
@@michellecrocker2485that she was a knowing and willing accessory to child molestation. In my mind that prevents her from being described as compassionate and pious or a ‘good stepmother’ She was a horrific stepmother and just as much a sexual abuser as Seymour
I don't think Mary was that prickly towards Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves. Jane did work on Henry to bring her back to court. Anne of Cleves was no threat to Mary at all. Perhaps her annoyance was Anne being cordial to Catherine Howard. Catherine Parr was definitely adored by her stepchildren.
Jane was only 8 years older than Mary and Anne of Cleves was only one year older than Mary, so she likely didn’t see them as mothers which would have potentially caused a bit of friction, but I’ve never heard of her being outwardly against them
I want her to be my favorite of the Six, but I can’t get past the fact that she failed to protect her fourteen-year-old stepdaughter from her husband’s predations. That she *joined in* on at least one occasion. I don’t know what to do with that.
Catherine Parr was truly remarkable in so many ways. She wrote books and treatises on the Reformation and Protestantism sometimes at odds with her third husband, HenaryVIII with whom no one disagreed unless they had a death wish. She had to burn everything she had written to save herself and then talk to her husband in public to dissuade him from her beliefs. Joelie Richardson's interpretation of that confrontation is brilliant in "Tudor"'s final episode. Even the Queen of England wasn't allowed to think for herself and make public comments on topics not suited to her "diseased state" that is, being a woman. Historically, she's one of my very favourite people, and not simply because she is my 17th? great aunt. She had steel in her spine and knew how to survive in 16th-century England: to marry well. It really upsets me to know that the love of her life was a deceitful cad. He was grooming the then Princess Elizabeth because he wanted to marry her. No wonder Elizabeth I never married with men like Thomas Seymour as the only choices available to her. I empathize on a personal level because the love of my own life turned out to be a rotten, two-timing narcissist. In the 50 years since, my heart has still not mended from my encounters with him though I did marry and now have grandchildren. In a way, I'm actually happy for Queen Catherine that she died. Better that than living with heartbreak for the rest of her life. For me, it came to a head when we were both married to other people and he still wanted to bed me with my year-old child 10 feet away. To him, I was a notch on the bedpost, one that had refused him twice already. I had enough affection for his then-wife to tell her what had happened as I knew how much she wanted children with him. I also knew what kind of man he was, and still is, being now married to his fourth wife. His first wife, the lady in question, dropped him as soon as I told her of my non-relationship with her husband. I didn't want her to have his children in a broken marriage. She was heartbroken, as I was, but that was Riker's pattern: to take what he wanted and the consequences be damned. I may be the only woman ever to turn him down considering all the times he asked and was refused. That thought is cold comfort though for all the damage he did. What was Seymour thinking? Did he really delude himself that he could have a queen for a wife? Unlike my heartbreak, Catherine's met with a tragic end. Seymour was beheaded and Catherine died, my guess is more of heartbreak than childbirth. She had to find out the hard way what her true love really was. My own husband never knew I was in love with his cousin, not himself, but they both turned out to be cut of the same cloth, utter narcissism. Queen Catherine Parr has my deepest empathy, not just for the time in which she was born but for whom she was forced to marry.
Catherine Parr was both icon but also a person who did foolish things. I still can't get over the fact that Catherine remarry but her 4th husband is his stepson Edward VI uncle who we know that before Henry caught Catherine's beauty were hunting someone with money and that person is Catherine and after Henry died Catherine let her guard down and remarried without even checking probably that her 4th husband is her stepson uncle and the brother of the regent and if you connect together, you would know that his reasons for marrying you may not be for love also i pity for Mary (Catherine's child) her mother died and your father were pursuing your stepsister because he is power hungry only for him to met in the chopping board. If i am Catherine were isekaid (a term for modern people possessing someone from different timeline or world) i would maximize my power as a regent and influence the court to my advantage
It is highly unlikely that the Queen changed the kings bandages. It would have been considered inappropriate. Who is the source for this? As far as I am aware, expert historians of the era state there is no evidence of her performing such tasks which would resemble nursing him and that it would have been unthinkable
You know-I'm friendly Britains most important Tudor Historian so I know my history. I mean this as a compliment. I'm always surprised that as an American you really understand the nuances and society of Britain-it's very impressive and I really enjoy your video's-well done!
A lot of first with Catherine Parr that i wasnt aware of. And the fact that she sent Elizabeth away for HER protection says a lot. I have a new found and long overdure respect for Catherine Parr.
She was hardly protecting her when she’d previously held Elizabeth down while her husband sexually assaulted her. She saw Elizabeth as competition and sent her away when she reached 15 and parr found her husband ‘embracing’ Elizabeth
Hey @LindsayHoliday, if you take requests, then after the video next Tuesday about the women who escaped King Henry VIII's marriages, then can you please do a video about the "1817 succession crisis" that arose after the death of Charlotte Augusta of Wales that led to the birth of the future Queen Victoria more-in-depth, since after the video you did about her, I wanted you to do a more-in-depth video of the succession crisis and the aftermath, please?
Catherine didn’t marry John Neville out of necessity. She was already descended from a noble family, itself descended from Edward III, as was John Neville. Catherine never lived in Westmoreland, she was born and lived most of her life in London. Her father had retainers to look after is northern lands.
Something interesting..my daughter's name is Catherine Parr. We tried to see if she was related to the Queen's relatives. We can't find a connection though. I love the name Catherine. It's pretty. 😊❤❤
Not just that, she was specifically named after Catherine of Aragon. Her mother was a close companion of Catherine. It’s entirely possible that Henry met Catherine as a baby or toddler.
If you look far back enough he’s related to all of his wives for example Anne Bolyen was his second cousin and Jane Seymour was his fifth cousin and Catherine Howard was his third cousin
@@thecalicocat6657 that’s not true. Henry VIII was distantly related to all his wives through Edward I, who was born in 1239, but his closest relative was Catherine of Aragon who was his third cousin once removed. Anne B was his 5th cousin once removed Jane was his 5th cousin twice removed Anne of Cleves was his 5th cousin Catherine H was his 9th cousin once removed Catherine P was his 4th cousin once removed His wives were more closely related to eachother than to him. Anne B and Catherine H were first cousins, Jane was their second cousin, and Catherine Parr was Catherine of Aragon’s goddaughter (which would have been considered almost a blood relation at the time)
So totally random but do you think professors Snape was named after the castle or his family came from the castle as nobility or like a court wizard or something?
My Little and I love Horrible Histories so much we’ve streamed the series multiple times, read all of the books and frequently play the songs on the way to school. Such a great series in every way.

I can't get over the fact that she was named after her husband's first wife. That's just wild.
Well the king was old enough to be her Dad as she was only 4 years older than his oldest daughter, Mary I.
It just makes their marriage all the more yucky 🤢
The naming of noble children after the monarch and his consort was widespread. In addition, the Parr family had close ties to Henry’s grandmother, Margaret Beaufort.
Okay but we need to give more flowers to homegirl that refused to turn on Catherine even after being tortured on the rack. Girl’s girlie been refusing to turn over her bestie to violent men since Tudor times. Absolute respect to her. 💐 👑
That was amazing. Most people say anything. Fast. She lasted months? My God.
Anne Askew was a true heroine and soul. I get very emotional whenever I hear about her tragic ending. I can’t imagine as no one or anything should ever.
I wonder what she would think if she read this

Love your content, and will we get any videos from you Scotland trip? Just wondering 😊
yes, pretty soon!
What was done to her body is disgusting
screeching every time you post!!
I didn't know Catherine parr 's story was this fascinating❤
I want her to be my favorite of the Six, but I can’t get past the fact that she failed to protect her fourteen-year-old stepdaughter from her husband’s predations. That she *joined in* on at least one occasion. I don’t know what to do with that.
"so the king could cosplay as a valiant knight"
That basically sums up Henry's personality perfectly 😂
Catherine Parr was truly remarkable in so many ways. She wrote books and treatises on the Reformation and Protestantism sometimes at odds with her third husband, HenaryVIII with whom no one disagreed unless they had a death wish. She had to burn everything she had written to save herself and then talk to her husband in public to dissuade him from her beliefs. Joelie Richardson's interpretation of that confrontation is brilliant in "Tudor"'s final episode. Even the Queen of England wasn't allowed to think for herself and make public comments on topics not suited to her "diseased state" that is, being a woman. Historically, she's one of my very favourite people, and not simply because she is my 17th? great aunt. She had steel in her spine and knew how to survive in 16th-century England: to marry well. It really upsets me to know that the love of her life was a deceitful cad. He was grooming the then Princess Elizabeth because he wanted to marry her. No wonder Elizabeth I never married with men like Thomas Seymour as the only choices available to her. I empathize on a personal level because the love of my own life turned out to be a rotten, two-timing narcissist. In the 50 years since, my heart has still not mended from my encounters with him though I did marry and now have grandchildren. In a way, I'm actually happy for Queen Catherine that she died. Better that than living with heartbreak for the rest of her life. For me, it came to a head when we were both married to other people and he still wanted to bed me with my year-old child 10 feet away. To him, I was a notch on the bedpost, one that had refused him twice already. I had enough affection for his then-wife to tell her what had happened as I knew how much she wanted children with him. I also knew what kind of man he was, and still is, being now married to his fourth wife. His first wife, the lady in question, dropped him as soon as I told her of my non-relationship with her husband. I didn't want her to have his children in a broken marriage. She was heartbroken, as I was, but that was Riker's pattern: to take what he wanted and the consequences be damned. I may be the only woman ever to turn him down considering all the times he asked and was refused. That thought is cold comfort though for all the damage he did. What was Seymour thinking? Did he really delude himself that he could have a queen for a wife? Unlike my heartbreak, Catherine's met with a tragic end. Seymour was beheaded and Catherine died, my guess is more of heartbreak than childbirth. She had to find out the hard way what her true love really was. My own husband never knew I was in love with his cousin, not himself, but they both turned out to be cut of the same cloth, utter narcissism. Queen Catherine Parr has my deepest empathy, not just for the time in which she was born but for whom she was forced to marry.
I am ecstatic for the next episode!
Omg I love this channel so much the video about the 6 wives of henry XIII was the first video I watched. Love from the Philippines 💖💖💖
I’ve always repped for Catherine Parr. She was my favorite of Henry’s wives.
What do you think of her participating in her husband’s sexual abuse of her step daughter?
A video on the Azores please!! Maybe on their relationship with England/English courts?
Will you be doing videos on Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, and Catherine Howard?
“So the king could cosplay as a valiant knight” 💀💀
I love watching your video can you do the catholic Church Kings and Queens?
Catherine Parr was both icon but also a person who did foolish things. I still can't get over the fact that Catherine remarry but her 4th husband is his stepson Edward VI uncle who we know that before Henry caught Catherine's beauty were hunting someone with money and that person is Catherine and after Henry died Catherine let her guard down and remarried without even checking probably that her 4th husband is her stepson uncle and the brother of the regent and if you connect together, you would know that his reasons for marrying you may not be for love also i pity for Mary (Catherine's child) her mother died and your father were pursuing your stepsister because he is power hungry only for him to met in the chopping board. If i am Catherine were isekaid (a term for modern people possessing someone from different timeline or world) i would maximize my power as a regent and influence the court to my advantage
Learned alot from this. Thanks. Oh, the guitar loop becomes annoying, just a thought
Love She-Wolves by Helen Castor and the series Secrets of the Castle
can you do the European and Salem witch trials? love your content so much!
My halloween special this year will include the Scottish witch trials!
It is highly unlikely that the Queen changed the kings bandages. It would have been considered inappropriate. Who is the source for this? As far as I am aware, expert historians of the era state there is no evidence of her performing such tasks which would resemble nursing him and that it would have been unthinkable
“JOB OPENING!” 😭😭😭
Horrific desecration of her grave!!! 😱
She had a such complex life for that era even in death.
You know-I'm friendly Britains most important Tudor Historian so I know my history.
I mean this as a compliment. I'm always surprised that as an American you really understand the nuances and society of Britain-it's very impressive and I really enjoy your video's-well done!

A lot of first with Catherine Parr that i wasnt aware of. And the fact that she sent Elizabeth away for HER protection says a lot. I have a new found and long overdure respect for Catherine Parr.
She was hardly protecting her when she’d previously held Elizabeth down while her husband sexually assaulted her. She saw Elizabeth as competition and sent her away when she reached 15 and parr found her husband ‘embracing’ Elizabeth
Hey @LindsayHoliday, if you take requests, then after the video next Tuesday about the women who escaped King Henry VIII's marriages, then can you please do a video about the "1817 succession crisis" that arose after the death of Charlotte Augusta of Wales that led to the birth of the future Queen Victoria more-in-depth, since after the video you did about her, I wanted you to do a more-in-depth video of the succession crisis and the aftermath, please?
Could you do Kathrine Howard next?
I still wonder why she is called “Firebrand”🤔
Catherine didn’t marry John Neville out of necessity. She was already descended from a noble family, itself descended from Edward III, as was John Neville. Catherine never lived in Westmoreland, she was born and lived most of her life in London. Her father had retainers to look after is northern lands.
Something interesting..my daughter's name is Catherine Parr. We tried to see if she was related to the Queen's relatives. We can't find a connection though. I love the name Catherine. It's pretty. 😊❤❤
Love from england
Wait, Henry married his first wife’s goddaughter? Yuk
Not just that, she was specifically named after Catherine of Aragon. Her mother was a close companion of Catherine. It’s entirely possible that Henry met Catherine as a baby or toddler.
@@emilybarclay8831 even more yuk
If you look far back enough he’s related to all of his wives for example Anne Bolyen was his second cousin and Jane Seymour was his fifth cousin and Catherine Howard was his third cousin
@@thecalicocat6657 that’s not true. Henry VIII was distantly related to all his wives through Edward I, who was born in 1239, but his closest relative was Catherine of Aragon who was his third cousin once removed.
Anne B was his 5th cousin once removed
Jane was his 5th cousin twice removed
Anne of Cleves was his 5th cousin
Catherine H was his 9th cousin once removed
Catherine P was his 4th cousin once removed
His wives were more closely related to eachother than to him. Anne B and Catherine H were first cousins, Jane was their second cousin, and Catherine Parr was Catherine of Aragon’s goddaughter (which would have been considered almost a blood relation at the time)
He did a lot more than that
Whats the song in the background.
So totally random but do you think professors Snape was named after the castle or his family came from the castle as nobility or like a court wizard or something?
God rest her soul 🙏🏾
"Lucky Catherine, the last stayed alive --I mean, how unfair!" -Henry VIII (Horrible Hostories) 😂
My Little and I love Horrible Histories so much we’ve streamed the series multiple times, read all of the books and frequently play the songs on the way to school. Such a great series in every way.
She survive with the tryant after his death, trying to smooth him of religious brief.
The hand sigils from the portraits have to be disclosed. Their fingers and positioning are not just meaningless.
Can make a video on Jane Seymour and Katherine Howard?
girll, I need a video about Katherine Howard, my personal favorite wife❤
In these times, both men and women had not much choice. Even the king was not free.
Could you do more videos on the French monarchy, specifically Henri the seconds legitimate and illegitimate children?
love her
Anne of Cleves also outlived Henry.
She did but, most only focus on Catherine being the one to out live him. Sadly Catherine Parr only outlived Henry for a year and a half.
@@moondivine2288 I think most people class Catherine Parr as a survivor because she survived the plots of Catholic extremists who wanted her dead.
@@eamonndeane587it’s more likely because she was the only one who survived while still being queen
You could say she was ‘Parr’ for the course
History, was not only written by the victors , but written by men.
Omg She couldn’t even rest after death people were SICK
Can someone explain this part?
who else like Lindsay episode / video
Maybe you can do a video of the romanovs
