I've been to Hardwick hall, one of my favorites

Know it very well, as a child I constantly played and explored there, fished the lakes etc. My grandfather owned 2 farms on shepherd's Lane where my father was born. This brings back memories.of down hardwick.

holy smokes this woman built the ancestral home of the man who bankrolled the discovery of king tut. if youve ever watched the tv show downton abbey youve seen chatsworth. and that was BEFORE she became a countess. Time team did an episode on a home called furnace cottage, which, you guessed it, is a pretty beautiful cottage with its garden literally centered on the site of two furnaces, one medieval, and one elizabethan. It was none other than Bess who coordinated the creation of a then absolutely state of the art blast furnace on the footprint of the current cottage. I knew this woman was a dynamo, but wow. what a life!!

Chatsworth is the house of the Cavendish family; it is very different from the Downton House.

Were any of her husbands’ deaths suspicious and how was it that their estates were not passed on to their previous children or did she only married titled BACHELORS?

[@meeeka]

No. She married men who either made financial arrangements or willed her their fortunes directly to her, tho the last one, Talbot, willed his fortune to son, her son-in-law.

@13:37 Henry VIII didn’t have any children, so you must have meant Henry VII

[@zoeyacoub5200]

He had three legitimate children (Mary, Edward and Elizabeth) and probably a fair few illegitimate ones

[@lespaddick6248]

No such thing as Tudor "Britain" the Tudors only ruled England and Wales

[@zoeyacoub5200]

also parts of Ireland - quite a lot of the British Isles
