March 18 - Elizabeth I is arrested

[@chiaroscuroamore]

Elizabeth I never ceases to amaze me with how eloquent she was. She must have been scared and unsure if she would survive her imprisonment. How poignant that she was imprisoned in the same place as her mother. And how wonderful that she escaped the same fate. Thank you for all of your hard work and I’ll be tuning in tomorrow!

[@ellen9575]

She was a very smart girl. I can imagine every word she spoke was carefully thought out before leaving her lips.

[@lisabelmontage]

I agree. I think she was well educated and clever. Also being a sister to Mary she knew her well.

[@jennifergillia9078]

The queen is not shit she is a evil evil person

[@kjlcr]

The Princess Elizabeth must have been terrified. What an ordeal yet, she kept her wits about her. No small feat. Thankyou,Claire for another interesting Tudor moment. It was good to see Teasel in the background. Oh, and Maj too.

[@mariemorgan7759]

Really enjoying these daily Tudor history videos! Seems that the bells chime at the right time!☺️

[@anneboleynfiles]

Glad you like them!

[@qiuwbr091]

Thank you. As you said; This situation must have left a very serious impression on Elizabeth I. Fear can be very deep rooted.

[@Story-Voracious66]

I loved today's talk; so comprehensive and entertaining. Love the Maj cameo. I think I will listen to it again! 🏵️🏵️🏵️

[@kimberlytyrcha5930]

Teasel also put in a cameo appearance in the background behind Claire.

[@theresecatalano4017]

How frightening for Elizabeth...I’m sure she was thinking of her mother...how could she not be!

[@999Lumen]

Love to hear about Elizabeth I. I have the DVD set of Glenda Jackson's Elizabeth R & watch it over and over again.

[@mariemorgan7759]

So do I, great British actors in that series,my favorite being Robert Hardy.

[@lindsaymanns3559]

999Lumen it’s been a few years since I watched that series. The actors who played Elizabeth and Dudley were incredible.

[@teresacooper2724]

The Tudors are a good example of the a Old saying "you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family". When I think about them and the way they behaved towards their own blood relatives I do a little shudder.

[@margaretsieger2862]

Love your videos. Thank you for your efforts Claire..

[@cathryncampbell8555]

Yet another informative video, Claire: Thank you! I wonder whether imprisoning Elizabeth in the same place where her mother was locked up was a form of psychological torture on Mary's part? Or was housing her in the same location an indication that Mary was unwilling/unable to house Elizabeth in a commoner's prison cell?

[@anneboleynfiles]

Elizabeth was a member of the royal family so, like her mother in 1536, needed to be housed in somewhere befitting her status, otherwise it would look bad.

[@lizl6232]

How terrified she must have felt. Her mother went that route.

[@robinhumphrey2692]

Hi Claire, Teasle, and Maj. thanks for the great video.

[@darlenefarmer5921]

Thank you.

[@joansmith3296]

But did Elizabeth really participate in plots against Mary? Or didn't it matter? It seems a lot of people were executed with no proof of wrongdoing, including Elizabeth's mother. Thank you Claire. Happy St Patrick's Day!

[@anneboleynfiles]

There's no evidence that she was involved at all, but she may well have been aware of something going on. I hope you had a lovely St Patrick's Day.

[@reinadegrillos]

Thank you Claire, I also love Starkey.

[@orlando1a1]

Maj is a royal cat, so she can never be in trouble - besides, she was keeping close watch on Claire to make sure she kept to the facts!

[@pamfleming6341]

The same apartment her mother stayed in before she became queen....and where she stayed before her execution. Now here she sat. With her mother in her heart. And knowing her own sister had her put here. So sad....

[@jenncrane8774]

My goodness poor girl. Are we all on the books?

[@Danielle-mg5lf]

Omg 😳 , That must have been terrifying to poor Elizabeth I to go the same exact route her mother took before imprisonment then beheaded. I wonder if Mary I did that on purpose as a scare tactic? Her speeches to those whom arrested her were perfectly thought out showing her intellect (which she must have received from her mother Anne Boleyn). Even to gain sympathy from those men, for one to even offer coat to her. And it was cute and sweet for Courtney to send her flowers 💐. Thank goodness she was given some comforts while in the tower, but I’m sure her mother’s imprisonment and following execution would pop into her head from time to time. I wonder is some of those comforts were permitted by King Phillip II of Spain (Mary I’s husband and consort) as he had a “crush” on her and later after Mary’s death Proposed to Elizabeth?

[@Irishmist1000]

How clever Queen Elizabeth was..

[@daver8521]

Maj looks like a smaller version of my cat, Runt. Despite his name, he weighs over 30 lbs!

[@anneboleynfiles]

Maj is a tiny cat. I love the name Runt, how funny! Was he a runt when you got him? Oreo was so skinny when we got him as he and Ari had been found in a rubbish bin with their eyes still closed and had to be bottle fed. He's now a right lump!

[@daver8521]

@@anneboleynfiles I inherited Runt from my niece. Evidently he was the smallest kitten in his litter, hence his name. Now everyone says he's the biggest cat they have ever seen!

[@leticiagarcia9025]

I wouldn’t doubt if she cried herself to sleep living in the same apartment where her mother spent her last days. If it were me I would do the same.

[@wendychavez5348]

I love the bells ringing for Lady Elizabeth, as well as the animals coming to pay her tribute.

[@robbieporter6053]

It’s Teasle!!!

[@LadyCatherine538]

That is some serious social distancing.

[@RezaChity-G]

Why in the world would Mary do this on Palm Sunday, she should've let Elizabeth go and attend the Holy Week services.

[@GoGreen1977]

Probably Mary knew Elizabeth wasn't really a Catholic and wouldn't take Mass seriously., anyway.

[@anneboleynfiles]

The men had tried to do it the day before, but the tide had turned making it impossible to take her along the Thames, so they'd stayed there ready to take her as soon as they possibly could. It was down to practicalities.

[@alexandravladmets]

I believe someone is planning his Tudor trivia in the background… :)

[@6falconsue]

Maj was probably distressed while listening to this story of the Queen she emulates so well :) And Teasel so desperately wants to go up those stairs.

[@anneboleynfiles]

Oreo was on the roof and she desperately wanted to chase him.

[@Lyndell-P]

🇦🇺🦘 (viewed 14/03/2021) .. I too would have been terrified being taken to the Tower. Whether to the Royal apartments or not, still a prisoner. Thank goodness that Elizabeth had 'her wits' about her during interrogation, and thank goodness that her half-sister, Queen Mary, spared her life, instead Elizabeth being placed under 'house arrest'. Given that Queen Mary had no children, at least (at her death) her half-sister (a Tudor) could take the Crown. Thank you Claire 👑👍

[@loisismygramma4258]

It translates to "The time will come, I, Anne Boleyn."

How are you doing with the Corona lockdown?

[@neelhalli]

Is Mary Tudor and Queen Mary i the same?

[@marionarnott750]

Yes

[@RezaChity-G]

Yes and no, there are two Mary Tudors, Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII and wife of Louis XIII I believe, and then there is Mary I, the Mary Tudor in this video.

[@anneboleynfiles]

No, not in this case. There were two Mary Tudors and the one I mention as being born on this day was Henry VIII's sister, Mary Tudor, Queen of France, rather than his daughter, Mary I.

[@Checobeep]

Pepys' diary makes mention of "shooting the bridge". London Bridge was like a mini white water stretch where the river rushed around the structure, and many people would disembark, walk along the Thames, then take the water again after the bridge rather than risk it. This is why the bargemen were so necessary as it was quite dangerous, depending on time of year and time of day.

[@anneboleynfiles]

Yes, the bargemen were very skilled.
