My Mom LOVED Glenda Jackson as Queen Elizabeth I ! Our library had the series on VHS.... and we were HOOKED.

Through the Douglas line she is my 14 th great grandmother.

Hello my cousin!

How did you find out?

[@annstillwell730]

Probably the most important Tudor. The current royals are descended from her.

[@jamiemohan2049]

They descend from her other sister Mary as well

[@louwinters508]

@@jamiemohan2049 how exactly. Through which child. I could be wrong but I don't think they are direct descents of Mary.

[@nancytestani1470]

Yes, that’s true…and not very much touted…

This is my 15th great grandmother i'm so glad someone did a video on this i wanted to learn more about her

[@PigIA]

Hi cousin!

[@kev3436]

Howdy there! Lol

[@lagerthathorkildsdottir9074]

Qui cuora? If you want to learn more I would suggest you to read books you can learn a lot that way

[@jamiemohan2049]

You and nearly half of Europe descend from her.

[@kev3436]

Lagertha Thorkildsdottir thank you!

[@carolhudson9749]

My 13th great grandmother through my Stewart- Campbell line.

[@DebraShiveleyWelch]

It's refreshing to hear someone talk about Margaret and tell the truth. A certain cable series portrays her so falsely that it's sickening: a direct slap on the faces of her descendants.

[@hannahmarie6501]

Thank you for this, what an interesting time. I'm a descendent of James IV through one of his mistresses Margaret Drummond. He's my grandfather about 17 times over. It's weird to think that she was around and knew about all of this stuff when it was going down.

[@beth7935]

Cool! I think I've heard of Margaret Drummond- was she the one who died not long before James IV married Margaret Tudor? I'm a descendant of James V & his mistress Euphemia Elphinstone, so I'm descended from Margaret Tudor too!

[@sharonanne6293]

I like listening to this channel better then Tudor Dynasty podcast. This was very interesting. X

[@beth7935]

This was brilliant & so interesting! I learnt lots- like, I didn't know Margaret had to actually escape Scotland! I didn't know Henry VIII tried to withold a legacy from her either, but it doesn't surprise me. This all shows pretty well why I'm a big fan of Henry VII, & why I think Henry VIII was one of the worst British monarchs ever.

[@sandilou2U]

Margaret was my 14th Grandmother. Thank you for your time in this video

Another great episode Heather. Thank you 💜

[@okpeace6928]

the tudors series got mary mixed up with Margaret

[@moonshyne777]

They got A LOT wrong on that show lol

[@ACS402010]

@@moonshyne777 The Tudors series didn't get anything "wrong". They deliberately took creative licence with historical facts for entertainment purposes for a television drama by switching some characters and scenarios around. Nothing wrong with that.

[@kalkid6888]

Actually they combined them

[@AG-iu9lv]

@@kalkid6888 exactly, they amalgamated Mary & Margaret

[@lucieelizabethannwesson7016]

My favorite series

[@wiscochic861plutochic5]

She was my 15th great grandmother. My direct line eventually immigrated to the us. My line from Margaret james v, James 1st Earl moray, Elisabeth Stuart gravin van moray, lord James 3rd Earl moray, James Stuart earl van moray, lady Margaret Douglas Stuart, at some point she immigrated to virginia while I do not live in Virginia most of my family still does from this side. Continuing George Sutherland, George Sutherland II, Samuel Sutherland, Philemon Sutherland, Mary Polly Sutherland, Hope Ann Powell, stopping at my great great grandfather Robert Bernard. If anyone is as interested as I am definitely read up on war of the roses and Elizabeth of woodville who was my 17th great grandmother. If looking into the Stuart’s be careful not to confuse all the James’s literally had to investigate my own tree to just keep all the James’s separated and had to look at who really married who so my tree didn’t get all jumbled up 😂🤣😂🤣

[@leanie9660]

Thanks for this...Margaret Tudor's descendants are a confusing lot. Mary Stuart (of the ROYAL Stewarts) marries Henry Stuart ...BOTH of whom are children of Margaret's children (though not by the same husband). Mary and Henry (Lord Darnley) having the same last name made this even MORE confusing, because the NAME has nothing to do with the consanguinity. Since I watch these things at 2am...they can make my head spin

[@beth7935]

The Stuart name does indicate another, more distant consanguinity though- Darnley's father Matthew Stuart was descended from James II.

[@nahirlulu3710]

SHE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE KINGDOMS

[@legacyxlove]

Three Sisters, Three Queens is good, too! Has Margaret, Mary (Queen of France), and Catherine of Aragon.

My 14th great grandmother through the line of Nellie Broadway (Holt)

Your thoughts about history in your intro are poignant. Great video, Margaret is such an interesting royal woman, who does her best to navigate a man's world in Scotland. 👑

[@lela8405]

She is related to me by King James V of Scotland he is my 12th Great Grandfather.

I love this time period. I read so much about it! I have a book reviewing KZbin channel.

Do you have a list of all of these in order? :) love these

[@hteysko]

Hmmm - on my website (englandcast.com) I have a complete show archive with links to listen to everything. I should make up a playlist here, though - thanks for the idea :)

[@ginapieroable]

Very interesting, but distracted by the commentator who seemed to be preparing her dinner during the interview

[@kathleensmith8365]

Yes, this was so surprising to me. It was unfortunately distracting during an otherwise interesting presentation. Seemed disrespectful considering she was a guest speaker.

[@lillianmcgrew217]

[@lionessprincessbear2174]

I like your voice x

[@okpeace6928]

the tudors had her wrong on the show, so glad to see her story about her done with respect and the truth thanks

[@ivanreyes6824]

Yes but they did it on purpose. They combined the characters of Margaret and Mary Tudor into one actress.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Did her husband name her as regent in his will, or just guardian of their children?

Very interesting. I could have done without the dishes clanging in the background though.

[@josephcollins6033]

She left two children in Scotland when she escaped?

[@AG-iu9lv]

I read somewhere that she referred to the earl of Angus as "the Earl of Anguish". Poorly married, but she had a sense of humor about it, however bitter.

[@ninalance2995]

You certainly oversimplified her life

[@lorraineroberts3035]

You know what makes people not want to learn about history is certain narrators commentators they just don't have very good speaking voices

[@hteysko]

You know what makes people not want to start podcasts and put their creative work out there is certain commenters they forget that real people are behind the episodes and will be reading their comments that do absolutely nothing to further the discourse or contribute anything.

[@joanna4289]

This was Boring!!!

[@Eda-zo2gy]

what kind of inacurate person is this??? do you realise thar you sreading lies??? like get your facts straight woman!!! :D

[@hteysko]

Hey Eda - what do you take issue with? Which part? Can you let me know which fact is incorrect? I'm not sure I can take you seriously when you appear to be a pirate ("thar" you "sreading" lies! - say it in a Cornish accent ten times fast, and suddenly you're Captain Hook). Anyway, let me know which part is a lie I'm sreading. Cheers!

[@freyamccullough8326]

This seemed very accurate based on everything I've read about Margaret. This also doesn't present the more uncertain details as fact, if you listen to the language. Whenever they say something that isn't documented, you hear a lot of words like "I think," "perhaps," and "probably."

[@barbaragonzales4575]

A great video have just read the book about this pair and this video is spot on...loved it thank you

[@leanie9660]

hteysko ...poor Eda probably watched The Tudors where "Margaret" is married off to the king of Portugal. Not sure why they called her Margaret (when it was Mary, and she married the king of France), unless it was to avoid confusion with the OTHER Princess Mary (Henry VIII's daughter). Hollyweird and its ilk take ridiculous liberties with the truth. The Other Boleyn Girl (movie) has almost absolutely NOTHING in common with the book, aside from a few quotes.
