She didn't marry because the promise of marrige was the way she politically survived.

[@skullsaintdead]

I honestly cannot fathom how clever and brilliant she was, to know that in that time, with a mother murdered by your dad, surrounded by men manipulating and plotting to marry and/or murder you, knowing all those perils... Yet she remained calm, was irreligious, sought reform and finally, marketed herself as a lifelong virgin (what a stroke of genius!). England was blessed with her reign. I'm taking notes.

[@Qwazier3]

Not to mention she spoke, read and wrote 5 languages, was an expert horse rider, a hunter, did expert needle point and was a math whiz. She was surrounded by men who wanted her to be queen. She made it a point to be at all meetings. She was large and in charge.

She was brilliant. I feel a close connection with her bc I study Latin and Ancient Greek. Most people don't know that Queen Elizabeth was also a scholar. She was so good at Latin that she could improvise a speech in perfect Latin. She read Ancient Greek, I've heard, every day with a tutor. That's a side of her most people don't know. Her first tutor, Roger Ascham, praised her for her brilliant intelligence.

Elizabeth failed as a queen by not producing an heir which led to the gunpower plot and eventually the English civil war.

That would have required her to take a husband. Picking the right husband was a near impossibility. No matter who she choose a civil war almost a certainty when she produced an heir. The family of her husband would then be at odds with other families who felt they had a more legitimate claim to the throne. She had already seen enough intrigue and didn't want anymore of it.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@@Skyebright1 I think you’re thinking of the Chequers ring, which was mentioned in this very video. It shows a portrait of Anne on one side of the ring’s locket, and a portrait of Elizabeth on the other side.

[@gewells8098]

I love the Tudor era history, especially with Elizabeth. She’s fascinating to say the least!

[@maggiesmith856]

Elizabeth did not just inherit her mother's dark eyes. Like Anne Boleyn, she had a long, oval, high-cheekboned face, pointed chin, slender figure and long- fingered hands. From Henry she got her colouring, arched eyebrows , acquiline nose and tight lips.

[@lizbohan5426]

Henry’s beautiful pale skin was commented on during his youth. Elizabeth inherited this and his red hair.

[@katj3443]

lol and yet some person in the comments is claiming they were all black……someone needs to lay off the crack pipe.

[@DW-kx6yu]

My heart tells me Queen Elizabeth I would be (is?) very pleased with your interpretation. Well done.

[@corkycobon1481]

She was the epitome of the anthem Rule Britania. I have always admired Elizabeth I due to her absolute determination to never have a man tell her what to do. She was fierce in her belief of herself and set a marvelous example for the next Elizabeth to sit the throne. Thank you for this video. The look of her in her mid 20s had me remembering Cate Blanchette as Elizabeth in the movie by the same name but I felt more of an affinity for her in the modern picture of her.

[@fancii]

The fact that I loved about Elizabeth (which is even evident in their portraits) was the truth that has always been said of her: She was the spitting image of her mother with her father's coloring.

[@davidlogan4329]

Most enjoyable view of a very great Tudor Queen.

[@laurelhimes7458]

THANK YOU! I got tears in my eyes when seeing your interpretations. Simply beautiful. I have always admired this queen and you have brought her to life❤️

[@uzeustosun]

Holy cow those recreations are amazing. They really do justice to the movie casting of Cate Blanchet and The Queen herself. What an immaculate presentation. Thank you.

[@justinjjoachin448]

It’s so interesting that Queen Elizabeth the 1st became Queen at 25. Queen Elizabeth the 2nd also became Queen at 25 too.

[@Bambisgf77]

Wow! Thats so interesting! Wonder why that fun fact has not been talked about more?

[@Launabanauna2]

Elizabeth is my middle name, after them.

[@lordbyronkeith9488]

I just get chills every time I see your recreations. Amazing work and even more amazing documentary.

[@robertmcgregor9]

Beautiful documentary and shockingly effective and emotional recreations. To go from the 1500s look to a modern recreation is otherworldly.

[@vantedante3638]

I get so invested in the history and storytelling that I forget that this video is about how Elizabeth looked like haha I get emotional when I think about their personal lives and hardships this channel really makes these famous figures to be seen as human

[@sunzeneise]

Congratulations! On creating this most intriguing series offering informative and imaginative approach to historical figures.

[@melissasecrest8223]

Your modern interpretation took my breath away and made me tear up, quite unexpectedly! I don't think there is any KZbin channel I more appreciate and admire than yours. I would be beyond happy if you were to take on Alexander Hamilton...so much has been made of him, his looks and his charm, but I can find no reconstruction anywhere that even approaches what you do. Thank you for your consideration and of all that you do.

[@anniefannycharles9951]

This was excellent. Thank you so much for producing top quality works of history. And also for allowing it to be free to anyone that's interested. Great work

[@paigeparrish7567]

I absolutely LOVE all of your videos but lately have been especially loving the elongated history section at the beginning that I have noticed lately. The recreations are what attracted me to the channel but the research that's done is just such a great synopsis. I can digest the information so well that I'm regurgitating it to anybody who will listen. lol. please keep doing what your doing :)

[@quackaholicsanonymous7210]

I really love the depictions of these in modern settings and seeing the smiles on their faces. Seeing Elizabeth as a modern woman is very touching somehow. I can not get enough of this channel.

[@portcityminis]

This is so inspiring. She was a better ruler than her father

[@terryl.cooper]

That's because grand-dad ruled with his emotions. My cousin ruled with her head. As it should be.

[@alliereesor115]

I'm obsessed with these videos and facial recreations absolutely love seeing these famous faces smile.

[@ravenslullabye]

Another amazing video. The story of Elizabeth and her mom has always fascinated me. Lovely recreations. Thank you!

[@loditx7706]

Very interesting, abbreviated history. I particularly liked the time you took to include and explain the portraits. I loved the smile on the last one, which allowed one to imagine her as charming and having fun, something difficult to do with most of her portraits. I know that she loved to dance and that smiling lady did, too, I bet.

[@deeceepnw]

Excellent review. I especially liked the lifelike portrait and modern interpretation at the end.

[@AuntieMamies]

I just adore this channel. I never really cared about history before but you tell it so well and the recreations are amazing! Just love it!

[@irwtdsrs]

how can they not consider her a beauty back then?! she’s beautiful

[@Barb85044]

This is becoming my favorite channel. I love history and I am an artist. Your work and story telling are exceptional.

[@CountessKitten]

I had no idea how amazing your work here was. I had seen the channel and subscribed, but hadn't watched one of your videos yet, until now..... And I am so pleasantly surprised by just how well thought out and historically accurate your information is! And the recreations are AMAZING! THANK YOU! Now I'm off to binge on the rest of your videos! Lol. Thank you so much!

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you so much! We take pride in being as accurate as possible :)

[@GosieKin]

@24:40 give her a platinum wig and all of a sudden, you have The Devil wears Prada! Seriously, I thought it was Meryl! Anyone else? Dear creator, watching your reconstructions is a few minutes of pure pleasure of suspension - with a usually breathing reveal. You are very talented Bravo!

[@shuffleaccount1985]

The work you do to bring these amazing people to life is astonishing , thank you

[@stacismart6965]

Love it. Although her mother was murdered by her father when she was two, I feel (after reading a number of historical books etc) that Elizabeth would have been more her mother’s daughter than we are lead to believe. Yes she has the Tudor red hair, but it appears looking at recreated portraits of Anne Boleyn as well as written descriptions she had similar features to her mother. It’s very likely she had more her mother’s intellect and personality as well. It has been quoted of Anne Boleyn’s intellect that “On a bad day Anne was Henry’s equal. But on a good day she was his superior.”

[@Alissa_ya]

This is so good. Stunning. Thank you so much. Your magic allows us to see thru the centuries. Can you make a video dedicated to Richard III of England please. This guy deserves to be brought to life. Dying to see him smiling ♥

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

For sure! I love him as a historic character
