Elizabeth I’s Dangerous Makeup Ritual - The Private Lives of Tudor

[@lucyosborne9239]

Would someone ANYONE speaking of an accomplished woman first introduce her intelligence at the top of the list of accolades? This woman came to The Throne speaking 5 languages, was familiar with so much of the history of Europe, extraordinarily educated for anyone at her time. She translated Latin forward and backwards at age 7. Please, don't introduce such a Lady as young, vivacious etc before introducing her as highly intelligent. It speaks of the subtle prejudice and sexism still practised even now. Women are still not introduced as being highly intelligent. My daughter is a professor of astrophysics and cosmology at U Chicago and there are times she has to bury herself, enduring the sideswipes and barbs by playing the dumb blonde. To me this is so sad. Women are still not given credit for their accomplishments without the offices of men to legitimate them. You can start by saying the words intelligent, clever, innovative and brilliant as often as possible when they apply, and HM Queen Elizabeth i was extraordinary in almost every way, intelligence being her strongest ally.

Brava, madam! Brava!

@lucyosbourne9239: I sincerely hope your virtue-signaling lecture made you feel better and smarter than the rest of us. Lord knows we don't get enough of these leftist rants on how Western women are the most oppressed, dehumanized and discriminated today than in any time in human history.

[@BonnieCassler-dx6sd]

Always,the first attribute mentioned,when speaking of a woman,is her looks. Will we ever get past this nonsense?

[@Dawn-we7vd]

She was way beyond her time! A credit to women! Well said!

An outstanding production. Informative, well-constructed, superbly edited and riveting. Thank you for this small bit of history, it's been very enjoyable.

8:24 Whatever Philip II of Spain spoke of Mary I to his close attendant in Spanish… doing so in front of the Queen would have been an insufferably careless move on his part - one that the politically savvy Philip II most certainly could not have made. Spanish was Mary I’s native language alongside English! She was literally half-Spanish herself and was even so related to Philip II as his great-aunt. On the other hand, Philip II did not even speak English. Henceforth, Mary would have welcomed Philip to her court in either Latin or Spanish. And Philip would certainly have not gossiped about her, especially right in front of her, in her native tongue.

[@clintcountryman4849]

Wish they'd talk bout the dangerous makeup. Over half an hour in and it was slightly mentioned in the beginning but that's it so far

[@LisafromNOLA]

I was a bit disappointed as her makeup was barely even spoken about. Why even title it as such - click bait

right that was why i clicked it D:

Erin Parsons makeup has a couple interesting videos about the history of lead makeup & makes some herself. Very interesting & well researched.

[@Skye_Writer]

The Essex section is badly written as it makes it seem as though she cut off his head because he laughed at her being old. In point of fact, Essex led a full on rebellion, marching his troops into London and the palace itself. Elizabeth was cagey, though, and played on his vanity and his sense of self-importance, lulling him into a false sense of security. As soon as all his troops were gone, she had him arrested. He *was* tried for treason; she didn't execute him out of hand. He was Dudley's stepson, and so he was doubly dear to her, and she gave him _so_ many chances and allowed him to get away with a great deal more than anyone else would have. But once Essex got a taste of power, it wasn't enough and he kept grasping and grasping for more until he finally reached too high. Most sources would never say she had the last laugh. It broke her heart to sign his execution order.

[@Familylawgroup]

No discussion of the Bacton altar cloth? I consider that recent find and connection to be an amazing recent find for QE I.

[@Iyklyk]

Amazing doc. I didn’t want it to end. Turns out, the lead didn’t have much of an effect!

[@jenniferdurso1461]

I always thought she was pretty old by the standard of the day when she passed away.

[@noahbuck7550]

69 wasn't an early grave. 😂

Thank you

I’m sure the midwives knew there was nothing in there. Eventually it’s clear where a baby’s skull is; something they would really need to know.

[@shawnastephens1536]

I wish we had more information on Edward. I'm very interested in his life.

[@patrickformentos5489]

Philip II was the son of Queen Mary’s first cousin Charles I (V) so they’re actually related

[@temperencebennett5669]

It’s European royalty, everybody is related.

[@brendaowens2466]

If I were a queen, I would not give my life or crown, of which is the power to a man. I agree with Queen Elizabeth. In those days it was a different thing.

[@daviddanielwillis7430]

King Phillip wasn't the only one who wasn't attracted to his wife this goes back years and years when it comes in to political marriages for both husbands and wives

[@whitakercindy03]

How sad

[@cherylpurdue888]

I found that very interesting 😊

[@CultgentlemanJack]

Humm I don’t think Philip respected Mary because he abandoned her. He never really lived with Mary and was definitely relieved she finally kicked the bucket. I feel sorry for her but there is a limit..she was a raving mad Queen who sent innocent people to the bom fire. She gave catholicism a bad name and she did try to execute her sister out of jealousy and raving madness.. obviously Elizabeth was the better choice for Queen the finest monarch England has ever seen.

[@irawilliams343]

I can only imagine how lonely Elizabeth I was. But she did the right thing in putting England's welfare before her own happiness which paved the way for the rise of the British Empire.

[@littleogeechee223]

Lonely? She had a very lengthy relationship with Robert Dudley. She was also courted by several serious suitors, including her older sister’s widower, Philip Ii of Spain, King Erik XIV of Sweden, Archduke Charles of Austria, Francois, Duc d’Anjou of France, Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex.

[@irawilliams343]

@littleogeechee223 her royal suitors only courted her for political reasons, love was never part of it. And, yes, she did love Robert Dudley but they could never be together because of his background and her status. Elizabeth I was very careful not to commit the same mistakes her sister Mary I did (her unpopular marriage with Philip of Spain) and she was traumatized with what happened to her mother and Catherine Parr who died of childbirth.

[@anitapeura3517]

Is that Sally Pointer, the archeologist/re-enactor, playing the elder Elizabeth?

[@Chipoo88]

Mary wasn’t abandoned by her husband. He did have vast lands to run! Far larger than England

[@LisafromNOLA]

Did this vid start out at Hever Castle? If so why? I know that was Anne’s home but other than that I don’t see the point 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kevinpoole6122]

What a nasty vulgarian you are, little Miss Deborah Tefo! Seriously? Care to provide us with a current photograph of yourself-which I’m guessing is something much, MUCH less than youthful, lithe, and svelte? Shame on you.

[@athenathegreatandpowerful6365]

​@@blossomedits_1very true tho. The actress is, to be kind, plump. Elizabeth was tall and very thin.

[@keepitsimple4629]

In films Elizabeth I has been played by Bette Davis and Judi Dench. Hardly tall and slender.
