Wooooooo!!! I requested this one just weeks ago! This is AWESOME!!!🎉
The thirst for knowledge here is awesome. Keep up the great work.
"It is not enough that men are watched, they must think themselves watched even when they are not" Sir Francis Walsingham
Walsingham's rules
I am proud to have been born a Walsingham. Sir Francis has always been a hero of mine, he may have been ruthless but his loyalty to England was never in question.🏴
What a puritan
"No flowers in my church"...?
Did u say Washinmachine?
Ruthless is not a sin. Time always forgives method for results.
The selection of the Subjects for these People Profiles has really been an instrumental Illumination of Truth for the narrative of history.
Thank you so very much.
⚒️⚒️⚒️
Yes! More amazing figures of Elizabethan England 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I've never caught one of your videos this early before...I picked a great one to be timely for! ❤❤❤
Geoffrey Rush will always be who I associate Walsingham with...seared into my mind! 😉
Ditto on both !!!!!! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I was just wondering whether this guy was the Geoffrey Rush character... thanks for making that clear for me.
@dianecrepeault5423 yes.... in the movie ELIZABETH.... Perfect casting!!
His acting was superb!!
I totally agree
I’ve always been intrigued by Walsingham ever since I was first made aware of his no holes barred investigative tactics and his gentle touch when “interviewing” suspected criminals. LOL , in the second ELIZABETH, the golden age movie. He was played to the hilt by the amazing Jeffery Rush!
✌️❤️😎
Excellent documentary. The best I have seen on Walshingham.
A very clever man and minister to the Queen Elizabeth I. And he kept his head !!
The PP documentaries are unequaled masterpieces. I could listen to Gareth’s voice all day. The best-written and best-delivered historical narration, hands down. Thank you for these. Looking forward to the rest of the British kings and queens.
Wow! An excellent video! I love Tudor history! Thank you so much! ❤😊
Undoubtedly a genius.
Reflects the Brilliance of E1 as a Master Stateswoman.
Shame we don't have a Walsingham in this day and age.
To root out Catholics?
Walsingham represents the essence of the Protestant determination to eliminate the faith and replace it with the love of Mammon. The modern world, in its depression, shallowness, ignorance, and atheism, is substantially the fruit of those efforts.
William Cecil was the real brains, paymaster and director. Walsingham was his trusted senior officer promoted to higher (but uncertain) responsibility as Cecil's own duties widened.
Cecil was the most brilliant of Elizabeth's court. His heirs now own and control the great Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, USA....through marriage into the Vanderbilt family.
I do say, people profile does great quality videos and the catalogue is very extensive, awesome work
Marvelous work by Gerald Roush as Walsingham in movie Elizabeth 👍🤗.
Jeoffry Rush.
The Babbington conspirators were so stupid as to have their portrait painted in advance.
Twas Sir Walsingham that placed the double 0's in front of the 7😮 for future protege James?
So he is the original "M" !!
@@richardshiggins704 John Dee was the first 007.
Please do William Cecil next!
Around this time we finally see emergence of historical figures with anglo saxon names once again ❤
Not sure of the relevance......most of the names I have seen have either biblical or of french origin. Also you do realise that Angles and Saxons were invading Germanic tribes and therefore same as the Normans.......invaders.
I think that the name Walsingham was originally taken from the Norfolk village of pilgrimage,( Our Lady of Walsingham )by Norman elite after 1066 to anglicise themselves.
YES, MORE EPIC HISTORICAL FIGURES 😎!🙌🔥
I’m always genuinely amazed nobody’s ever written a tv/book series around Walsingham, I mean the scope would be huge.
It would be bloody and involve too many historic secrets !
Elizabeth may well have wanted a more Reformed form of church, however as a extremely intelligent lady who had seen what 'radical' religious views could do she compromised
👍🤘👍 Excellent as always thank you.
Just finished, yet another entertaining piece thank you for your great work
My favorite narrator 😊
Thanks!
Thank you!
What a brilliant man. Queen Elizabeth was lucky to have him by her side.
Hffg
Queen Elizabeth I was fortunate he was on her side, because he was a cold-blooded murderer who always justified his actions and those of the spies working for him.
Agreed so much murder within the royal family
Surrounding yourself by smart people is a sign of a great leader...

A man of his times who reacted to events with the means and power at his disposal . Fascinating biography with a clear and concise narration . It is said that shipwrecked Spaniards intermarried with local Irish and that their DNA is evident through people of darker complexions in the Connaught region to this day . Perhaps fanciful though DNA is indelible .
Unfortunately though the DNA bit is true (same with North East Scotland, the Outer Hebrides and Orkneys), but percentage of the DNA that came from Spanish people is very diluted. Also the amount that were shipwrecked and married or impregnated local women was so few that the possibility of their genes having any lasting impact on skin colour, especially through to modern times is negligent other than the odd regressive gene.
Since the Irish are basically translucent, intermarrying with anyone else would make them darker😂
lol the Irish are basically translucent so intermixing with any other whites (like the Spaniards) would darker their complexion😂😂
Their descendants were known as the Black Irish. The O'Sheas of my family were combination of Black Irish and Lake Country English(auburn haired).

Very evident in my own family...beautiful coloration.
painter did henry viii dirty even getting the herp in the mural
Absolutely fascinating each time I listen to information about Walsingham thank you great video 🤷♀️👏
I think that when he witnessed the St. Bartholomews day massacre of Protestants in France, that his had a profound effect upon him.
love ur middle ages docs
Francis Walsingham seems to have been another protege of Machiavelli. Good biography, though.
Outstanding as always!
His son-in-law 2nd Earl of Essex tried to overthrow Elizabeth I and grandson 3rd Earl of Essex, fought for the Parliamentarians in the English Civil War.
His mother raised him smart to have such a smart son !!!!!!! & A Protestant !!!!!!!
Could you please make one of your amazing video about desire clary ?
Thank you very much
Would be fantastic
I am familiar with a person like Francis Walsingham in my office. We call that person our ‘micro-manager’
Is your head literally on the line?
Watch your back!
Thank you, I asked you delivered 👍👏🏻👏🏻
Could we have a re-upload of William Marshal?
My favorite, who would have been England's greatest King under other circumstances. William the Marshall saved the Plantagenet dynasty and England. The most faithful knight in history.
I cut Walsingham & his methods a lot of slack-to have lived through the horrors of the Bartholomew Day massacre in Paris without believing all Catholics to be barbarous monsters, would have been quite a feat….(PTSD on steroids)
thank you!
Absolutely riveting
Brilliant documentary
I love this man , as well as Queen Elizabeth ❣️
@peopleprofiles what's the name of this voice actor? I recognise him from 2010's British historical TV like Archeological digs
Gareth Johnson.
Great docos..good to know where and how colonisation was first established
Great doco.
Very interesting
How can I make videos like yours? Do you have any advice? 😊
Well? Don’t do them if you don’t have the historical knowledge to do so.
Good documentary
Splendid. Yes the execution of Mary may well have prevented decades of dispute and war.
I thought the Elizabeth movie. It was great.
All the events of the tudor dynasty brought relative stability to Britain which in turn led to the modern Britain we live in today. It is hard to judge, with our hearts and minds and even knowledge, if any one person or act was too extreme. As a cancer survivor I am aware that if those events hadn't played out as they did I would be dead.
You'd want him on your side in a tight situation
It wasn't an attack ! It Was The TRUTH !!!!!!!
When in Rome do as Rome. He lived his life well living by the rules at the time. We all have to adapt to the times we live in
Can you please make a video on Napoleon the III
You may want to review your comments on Bloody Mary's accession to the throne. It was she who carried out the coup. Lady Jane Grey being the legal heir, according to Edwards will. But then again, history is full of such actions.
Can you imagine someone with that prominent a public career dying broke, even in debt, these days?
Current governments work as Mafia outfits controlling territorios, not as bloodthirsty as feudal Lords but way more greedy, no, nowdays public servants almost always get rich while on office.
I am Catholic but I love history.
I don't think those 2 things are mutually exclusive.
Elizabethian 007
Francis Walsingham was absolutely brilliant. After studying the history of the Catholic Church I am so grateful we are no longer subject to Rome. Catholics are fine and I agree with some of their beliefs but the catholic church has been unbelievably hostile and selfish. The Roman Empire never fell; it just became the catholic church. Paying for masses for the dead, sending peasants hard earned cash to Rome. It ruled by tyranny and terror and was just a case of "jobs for the boys". I have been to the Vatican and the sheer opulence would have Jesus in tears, but there, they probably wouldn't have let him in.
So he was a hairy handed gent who ran amok in Kent and later he was overheard in Mayfair if you didn’t stay away from him he’d rip your lungs out Jim
What is the end music please to the thoroughly erudite production?
He certainly could teach Sir Humphrey a lot
Mary was gonna have the queen bumped off
Hi. I think Sir Francis Walsingham was a very interesting and loyal protestant spy master to Queen Elizabeth I during the latter half of her regin and her time as the ruler of the country. But I also think the popular and much loved Queen liked him as a good protestant. She more or less straight away promoted him to her cheif spy master, and I believe she gave him the task of setting up a special trap to catch the even less popular Mary, queen of Scots. I think she, Mary, Queen Of Scots, apparently accused Walsingham of setting up the whole thing to get rid of her.
But I reckon Elizabeth I ordered him to set that trap up. Though I don't know for sure, I'd think she saw him as a good, loyal, and reliable man who escaped a dangerous protestant massacre in France in August 1572, when catholics decided to kill and massacre their own protestant neighbours. That was on the 24th of August 1572. He was very lucky to escape with his own life and fled to the safer England. It sure must have been the queen who gave him a new job - Masterminding England's safety and security. Although it wasn't mentioned, I'm sure she fully appreciated his help. But as most men at the time would have done, he obviously did it on her orders to please her.
But as we know, it wasn't going to be him that would lose his head. It was the Catholic queen of Scots who was about to be got rid of. He stayed in the safety of protestant England for the rest of his life. Most possibly staying in the favour of Elizabeth I. As his own date of birth isn't known, it is difficult to know how old he was when he first arrived in England in August 1572. He was probably better off in this country than in France. I don't know what other sort of work he did in the final 18 years of his life in England. But there is a strong possibility that Queen Elizabeth I really liked him as a friend, but I don't know if it's known if he was in the audience who witnessed and watched the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. Maybe he didn't want to watch.
Although he did what the queen more or less instantly asked him to do, I'm sure he wasn't the sort of man who would want to make the ageing queen cross and angry. So, it must have been his own trustworthiness and reliability that she liked about him as well as being loyally obedient and respectful protestant. But he certainly worked very hard. He died 4 months short of 18 years after his arrival in England from France.
The only monarchs who I'm just waiting for to listen and watch their stories are George I, George II, George IV, and William IV, and then the documentaries will be complete fully.
Hope to hear from you shortly.

All His-Stories should be read as parables.
you have completely left out Queen Elizabeth , nothing happened unless she said so, when listening to your dialogue it almost seems the Walsingham decided for himself what jobs he would do, make no mistake lord Cecil was a queens man and Walsingham obeyed orders...
😂 Walsingham literally tricked Elizabeth that the Armada was approaching, to get her to sign Mary’s warrant. She was queen but their intelligence ring was running circles around her. She only knew what they told her, which is incredible power…luckily Cecil & Walsingham were fiercely loyal to her.
When that same power was transferred to Essex & Cecil Jr., they used it to sabotage eachother’s factions of courtiers, and she was almost overthrown in a rebellion.
Thank you for your information I am also a fierce supporter of Elizabeth 1 so any little light on how we defeated our invaders is welcome...

THE MAN WHO SAVED PROTESTANTISM...A HERO.....
Francis Walsinghan's greatest success, securing the reign of Elisabeth I, was his greatest failure. The Protestant queen was unable to pacify England and died without leaving heirs. Tensions between Catholics and Protestants that were not resolved and dissolved again provoked a civil war in 1652, less than 100 years after Walsinghan's death in 1590. His religious intolerance and political paranoia during the period in which he held a prominent position may having played a crucial role in the events that amplified the war between England and Spain triggered by the execution of the Queen of Scotland (something that was devised by Walsinghan). A ruler, statesman or minister who allows himself to be dominated by religious preferences by fueling wars because of religion only achieves two things: wasting economic and human resources in a military conflict that could be better used negotiating and preserving peace and unnecessarily risking the country's future.
He did exactly as he saw fit...he didn't fail.
You sound like a Catholic Habsburg 🤣
What a nonsense! Judging history by completely inapplicable unhistorical categories! The Elizabethan era was the foundation of Britain‘s rise to the worlds greatest power for more than 500 years
The religious issues have still not been resolved......and certainly the era of Puritan England oppressed rather than resolved any religious schism, and could be seen in the Wars in Ireland after James 2nd was removed and the Jacobite rebellions. I think you are confusing Charles 1st and James 2......though Charles' religious beliefs were not helping his cause, the civil war was more to do with who held the power the King (absolute as per Charles' view and Parliment) and nothing to do with religion (remember that the High Church of England follows a more catholic structure even today and service/ceremony than Protestant structure) Elisabeth 1st, if you look at the records of the times wished tolerance and not dominance or resolution....under her reign anyone was able to follow your religeous views and beliefs freely, which included Catholic, Lutherism, Islam and Judeaic.....so on this point she was immensely succesful. Please do not confuse people using Catholicism as the basis of challenges to her rule.....remember she was a woman in a mans world, and there was a lot of people with potential grounds of being ruler. If someone challenged Elizabeths reign it was put down very harshly.....and never once did she condone religious persecutions after the events.
Regarding Spain, again your knowledge is somewhat slanted and inaccurate.....first of all the animosity between England and Spain goes back to the treatment of and the divorce of Catherine by Henry 8th, and the break away of England from Rome. At the time Spain was the muscle of the Papalcy and there was a standing order to bring down the English protestant rulers. Also the support of the Protestant princes of the Spanish Lowland ie Holland and Flanders, was a bigger issue for Spain having an issue with Elizabeth than anything else. If you want to speak about religion being a driving force of negativity and destructive behaviour then Spain's Catholic fervour and zealous during this time is more noticable than in England.
Regarding Mary Queen of Scots and including her mother, Mary of Guise, you can not be more inaccurate and misinformed. The Catholic rulers of Scotland had ties with France and not Spain, and Spain was as much against France as England at the time. Mary of Guise was French, Mary Queen of Scots was educated in France, the plots against Elizabeth by people connected with Mary QS was supported by France and no involvement of Spain, the Rise of the North was supported financially and with mercenaries from France. So Mary QS execution had absolutely no bearing on Spain or their desire to bring down the English monachy. Are you confusing Norfolks histotical links with Spain and his involvement in uprisings supported by Spain and included Spanish troops that was nothing to do with Mary QS.
Regarding Mary's execution again your knowledge and information is somewhat inaccurate. Walsinghams involvement was more around the 'Act of the Queen's Safety' which meant the death of 'anyone' that threatened Elizabeth's life.....which included Mary QS. Most of the work done to prove Mary's guilt was most likely by William Cecil her official spy master but there was enough evidence outside this to have Mary executed under the 'Act of the Queen's Safety' so not sure why you single Walsinghams involvement.
It must also be remembered that Scotland was going through its own Protestant revolution and Mary QS was forced to abdicate and flee to England and seek Elizabrth's protection.
In regard to Elizabeth dying childless, I am unsure of the relevance or what that had to do with Walsingham. He certainly wanted Elizabeth to marry and letters remaining can show this. Reasons that Elizabeth decided not to marry have been questioned and discussed by historians and biographers for decades.
So your assertions are very questionable if not just out and out inaccurate. The main one painting him as some religious zealot is very far from the truth, someone that wanted to protect the protestant religion after the massacre of the Hugenouts. If anything his zealous nature was more towards the protection of Elizabeth and his religious beliefs were in step with his dislike, distrust of the Papalcy and Catholic Spain (as well as France) who were seen as and were actually the biggest threat to Elizabeth's life. The last time I saw such poor narrative was from a Catholic using a very squewed Catholic version of the Anglo-Spanish conflict that effectively lasted for 250 years, until the ultimate decline of the Spanish empire.
Taking like a Habsburg Catholic 😂
Christ this is a ropey documentary.
And now it's practically a Muslim country with nary a struggle😢
What a stupid comment. The Muslim religion was practiced in England safely during Elizabeth's reign, and since then the religious tolerence here has been a founding part of our country being one of the most excepting of race, creed, religion and free thought any where in the world.
Times change. You'll just have to adapt.

So much presentism -- weird charaterizations
Would you have us give up all of our ethics and morals so we can appreciate historic figures? We may have come a long way but Thanos was right!
I love the history but the voice is pedanticly boring.
This narrator is soooooo boring in his delivery...
God, it's so boring!!!
