I don’t understand why Elizabeth gets a pass for her religious persecution. Elizabeth’s being this tolerant queen was an easy position to take when your advisors & agents of the crown are terrifying, torturing & executing catholics up & down the country until they went underground or fled the country. And clever enough to dress it up as some treasonous plot so it never came across as religious persecution. Cecil & walsingham saw catholic plots in everything. Look at the Ridolfi plot, case in point. So she either knew everything her advisors were up to but turned a blind eye or she really did have no idea & her advisors were actually running the country. I’m honestly not sure which one it is. We all know no one in her fathers council would’ve dared carried out a death warrant he wasn’t decided on (for example Mary Queen of Scots) without his express permission. If her advisors felt confident enough to do that, it brings a lot of things into question. She didn’t actually need the heart & stomach of a king if she never really dealt with the harder decisions? The number of Catholics killed during her reign make her at least as deserving of the title ‘bloody’ as her predecessor - but of course it was the victorious Protestants not the Catholics who wrote the history declaring her as ‘Gloriana’.

My favorite story about Elizabeth apparently occurred during her Coronation procession, when at Cheapside, she stopped the procession to take a posy of wildflowers from a Goodwife at the wayside. She thanked the woman, stood up holding the flowers, and told the crowd that she would rather be given English wildflowers than any other kind, because (like the flowers) she was their "mere English Queen!" The crowd went wild. Though she was no saint, throughout her reign Elizabeth meant to be a good monarch and her people knew it, which is why they called her Good Queen Bess.

[@heyitssarah7545]

Also part of the reason she’s called that is because they just got out of a period of Protestants being burned at the stake and the attempted restoration of Catholicism. Elizabeth’s reign was glorious *in comparison to Mary’s.* It wasn’t anything awesome in and of itself. By the end of her reign, people were actually ready for it to be over. They didn’t like having the same monarch for very long, and they had her for a *long* time. Plus, there were lots of issues by the end of her reign. Her whole thing wasn’t that she was super awesome, it’s that she was better than Mary, and she was better than Henry VIII was at the end. So for the first 1/2 of her reign, people were like, “YEAH, this is great!” Then, for the third quarter, they were moving onto, “Okay…I guess this is still happening.” Finally, it reached, “Alright, this really needs to end. It’s getting to be a bit much, honestly.” (Sorry, I’m a historian, and I’ve studied extensively under a Tudor expert at my university. I’ve also taken several classes in early modern history, because the intersection of religion and politics throughout history is a sub-focus of mine. My main specialty is ancient history, oddly enough)

@Joanne McConachie The same speculation is true for Catherine's brother, Sir Henry Carey. It's known that Mary Boleyn was a mistress to Henry VIII before and during her marriage, so anything's possible. Sir Henry did look a lot like Henry VIII, but his official father (Mary Boleyn's husband) was also Henry VIII's cousin, so the resemblance could be from that more distant relationship.

HM Queen Elizabeth I is Anne Boleyn’s greatest revenge. Ironic that HM King Henry VIII was hellbent on having a son that he would literally chop off Anne’s head because she gave birth to Elizabeth I, then years later Elizabeth is crowned & her rule would go down as one of the most successful reign’s in all of English & British history. Elizabeth would later say: “Though the sex to which I belong is considered weak, you will, nevertheless, find me find me a rock that bends to no wind.” - HM Queen Elizabeth I of England “I have the heart of a man, not a woman, & I am not afraid of anything.” - HM Queen Elizabeth I of England “I know I have the body of a weak & feeble woman, but I have the heart & stomach of a king, & of a King of England too.” - HM Queen Elizabeth I of England She was a true QUEEN 👸

[@StarlightKitty2040]

That is not why Anne's head was chopped off. It was because she tried to sleep with her brother, and failed to deliver another boy who was born stillborn(which the king was warned not to stress the queen) and as always the King kept sleeping around dismissing the warnings of how toxic he was towards Anne, they both were guilty of adultery only one was punished for incest. She became Queen because her half-sister made Elizbeth her successor.

Of course I can. It's quite simple really. I have warched you tube only for a couple of years and it came through via the algorithm as I found some historical channels in which I showed an interest and your content appeared and the rest is 'history '👑😍👍

Great series. I hope you are able to cover all of the British monarchs. Please do not forget William IV. He was only on the throne for seven years, but he had a highly transformational reign. His tenure occurred during parliamentary reforms that paved the way to democracy as we know it today. He also restored the popularity of the monarchy, which had declined significantly during the reign of his brother, George IV. Highly under-rated king.

When we talk about England's greatest queen. Now the late queen's passed into the history books of England surely she has to be considered as one of our best queen's. Our Elizabeth's one and two share top spot for me ❤

[@rosered103]

QE1st, her riding side saddle is on open public display at Warwick Castle, which is as tiny as a child's saddle. I had a lovely conversation with the guard about QE1st. And had admired her Tomb at Westminster. And even jumped up and down on Henry the 8th tomb, which is underground, so it would be his tile square, and declared, 'this is for all women world wide.' The guard was astonished then he grinned and gave me a thumb's up.

[@goeegoanna]

The greatest queen? The greatest ruler that not only the country, but the world ever had, not in the least because she was the country's greatest queen, prospering in such times and prospects. She was insightful politician, well timed pragmatist, highly intelligent, a wise philosopher and a master manipulator. She was a lone woman in a man's world, who held a divided country together in a region with enemies on all sides and no great allies. She faced numerous attempts at assassination, a price on her head from the Pope and all Catholicism against her. With all the men around her attempting to take her kingdom from her, she was never sure of who to trust, realising to keep peace in her country she would never be able to marry. Even Churchill could not beat such tempestuous fortunes.

[@j.b.2263]

England didnt prosper under her except on the cultural side.

[@goeegoanna]

@@j.b.2263 Isn't that enough? Especially with all things considered. The English language alone advanced greatly thanks to Elizabethan writers.

@@j.b.2263 As the patron and inspiration of the arts? Really? And it wasn't just in the arts England prospered under her rule, at the height of the English Renaissance, exploration, relative stability, much of it thanks to her policies and support; it wasn't called Britain's golden age for nothing.

[@j.b.2263]

@@goeegoanna I wouldnt call raiding parties exploration. The English economy was a mess at her death even if she had many things going in her favour ( Irish lords had ran away and land taken, church propety confiscated, etc). That England couldnt set up a standing colony under her reign, the first was under James I, says much. The navy was weaker at her death than when she arrieved, the English Armada was a disaster. It was James I that patroned Shakespeare's company a thing Elizabeth never did. She had more executions than her sister Mary. The problem is in world history every time theres a massive change in a nation, and breaking away from Rome is a huge thing back then, the leaders will be mythologized. Recent examples would be Cuba, USSR, Korea, China, Germany, many African states, etc.

[@IanMcGarrett]

That final question, "Is Elizabeth I England's greatest queen?" is extremely patronizing. The real question is whether she was England's greatest monarch.

Considering we have said Edward III was the greatest King, we fail to see how saying Elizabeth was the greatest queen could be patronising.

[@sandrastevens4418]

I SHALL HAVE BUT ONE MISTRESS IN THIS HOUSEHOLD AND NO MASTER. My pen friend the United Kingdom is one of the biggest fans of Queen Elizabeth so much so she Even officially had her name changed. We write historical fiction about Queen Elizabeth together. Even though my friend was such a fan she had never been to London being from Lancashire far in the north of England. In 2015 I traveled to London on my way home from the Netherlands where my parents lived. We spent a week going to her tomb in Westminster Abbey where she is interned on top of her sister Mary. King James when he gained the throne from Elizabeth built an Elaborate chapel and tomb for his mother and had her entombed straight across from Queen Elizabeth I in Westminster Queen Elizabeth I tomb is a masterpiece she lays as a young version of herself in an elaborate color made from marble but so lifelike it looks like real lace. Her entire tomb is so live-like it is like she could just get up. We visited the tower where Elizabeth was imprisoned by her sister for months. In the same chambers, her mother spent her last days. I have visited the Tower many times and except the crown jewels, and the lineup of Henry VIII armor. Other exhibits change. When we were there a wooden mask of a Young Queen Elizabeth was on display. And in an eerie coincidence, it had a great likeness to my friend's face. We took a picture of my friend next to the mask and the likeness was uncanny. Sadly we did not have time to go to Hatfield. And of course, white hall palace burnt down long ago Except for the stables of the horse guards at certain times the stables can be visited by the public. It is wonderful how much the U.k. keeps its history alive.

Now this is what i called biography

I love that both Elizabeth’s of England were badass

[@breznevolaso4090]

Back in my university years- we had this book in our library about her. About how she made herself sufficient and efficient- despite englands instability and lack in resources at that time. It fascinates me- how she made it through, despite her being considered as a feeble woman. For me, she's way more greater than any men monarchs at her time. The only monarch in the history, that gives me inspiration to always "stand with dignity in the midst of shaky grounds" both earned the moniker GREAT. ELIZABETH the GREAT and the prussian princess turned czarina CATHERINE the GREAT.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

The irony is that those who claim that Anne Boleyn won in the end fail to realize that in the end, no one won. Elizabeth ensured an end to her Dad and Mom's direct bloodline. So in the end, it all backfired on all of them in both Anne and Henry's face and, in a weird way, its poetic justice for Henry and Anne's adultery. Elizabeth may not have intended it, nor perhaps thought it consciously or unconsciously, but unknowingly God guided her to ultimately punish both of them.

[@dhritidutta6231]

Henry was obsessed with bloodline, not Anne... Anne's bloodline continued through her sister...

[@Jaxxon123]

Interesting take!

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

@@dhritidutta6231 That’s not Anne’s bloodline but her sister Mary Boleyn’s. Anne Boleyn’s direct blood mine ended upon Elizabeth’s choice to never marry or have children and then her death. It is also good given that the man she wanted to marry was a twice married man and she ended up doing the same sin as her parents. So Poetic justice for poor Amy Robsart Dudley.

Ann Boleyn was accused of adultery. She went to her death denying it. There was no reason to call Catherine of Aragon's marriage invalid. Her previous husband Arthur ,was dead. Levitical law does not impede remarriage. That was why The Pope could not grant an annulment. And Ann Boleyn refused to be Henry's mistress.

[@peterjongsma2779]

@@LynxSouth Are you sure The Pope could do whatever he wants? He's hostage to French Charles . Catherine is Spanish. And Henry The 8th split with Rome. I don't see The Pope free to do as he likes. Btw. The English loved Catherine of Aragon. I don't think they liked Henry 8th at all.
