Thank you for this great video. Onto the Edward video next! P.S I got to visit England and Scotland when I was 17 (am in my thirties now). Scotland looks a lot like my home state of Portland, Oregon (the green). Scotish people eat something that Eritrean's eat (mostly on Easter) but is prepared and have different names. The Scot's eat haggis. Haggis is called doolet (do-let) in Eritrea. One of the rare times I've seen a commonality with Eritrea and anything western European culture. Cheers 🇺🇲🇪🇷🇬🇧

​@@heatherhillman1It might not make sense on the surface. But there are meaningful differences in dogma and practice. Just the Protestant idea that intercessors weren't required in a person's relationship with God was quite a revolutionary thought, rejecting Catholic hierarchy. Then of course it also had a lot to do with power centers and alliances in Europe as well. It would be Queen Elizabeth I whose religious compromise that would bolster the Anglican Church and bring about peace regarding the question of religion in England, though she and her security state executed Catholics too. Elizabeth had different motivations than Mary. Mary was a true daughter of the Faith and removed whom she saw as heretics to return England to Catholicism. Elizabeth, though a principled Protestant, had mostly political reasons for removing Catholic rivals. She endured ongoing pressure from Phillip of Spain and Rome to undermine her rule.

No one's saying Mary was a squeaky clean person, you really can't be with her kind of upbringing in such a savage world. But her life is much more nuanced than it is at first glance. She also had a tremendous burden on her, being the first Queen of England when no one wanted a woman in charge, and only wanted her on the throne because the alternative Jane Grey had no blood claim to it.

"Henry was already in love with the woman who would become his third wife, Jane Seymour." No, I don't think Henry was in love with her, nor do I think he was capable of actually loving anyone other than himself at that point. If I'm being honest, I think the only one of his wives that he may have ever truly loved was Catherine of Aragon. They met before he was ever king before he had the weight of the world on his shoulders in his mind, and I think he *may* have truly loved her. As much as I'm fascinated by Anne Boleyn, she's by far my favorite of the six wives and her story is what got me interested in all things Tudor, I don't believe Henry ever TRULY loved her. He was infatuated by her, he was obsessed with claiming her and making her his, but love? No, I don't think so. And I think it just got worse as he gathered wife after wife! The only reason he proclaimed Jane as his true wife, his favorite wife, is because she gave birth to his long-awaited male heir. Let's be real if she had given birth to a daughter and died still, or just never produced a male heir for him... She'd have been just another disappointment in his mind.

Mary also approved of slavery and supported the colonization of the New World and Africa under the Spanish. Mary also wrote propaganda and made a cult of her personality to make herself look good. Her sister reigned longer and was able to be more successful at crafting her image as a ruler. Other rulers such as Philip II did the same thing. Elizabeth honored her mother's memory she never made jokes about her that is a disgusting say. There's no evidence Elizabeth owned slaves or supported the slave trade or killed Africans. She did support explorations of the New World and privateering against the Spanish. English explorers during her reign were kind to the Natives they encountered. Get your facts right. She did pay the sailors after the Armada Defeat she didn't however give them a pay raise. Some of them were knighted. Elizabeth reformed the finances and was always tight with money the country didn't have much in the treasury in 1588 which is the reason why she didn't pay them more.

I think what is always overlooked when people talk about Henry VIII's obsession with having male heir is his education. Henry was one of the first English Monarch's to receive a renaissance education which would've included the study the Anarchy - the first English civil war. When Henry I died, he named his daughter, Matilda, as his heir (side note: Matilda is sometime referred to as Empress Maude in the histories) . But her cousin, Stephen, along with many other male nobles refused to accept the rule of woman. It sparked off a civil war that ended in a truce. Matilda agreed to stand down her armies and let Stephen rule in peace as long he named her son, Henry (aka Henry II), as his heir. Henry VIII was well aware that if he left a female heir, the male nobles might not accept her rule and it might spark off another civil war. Fortunately, by the time of the Tudor period, the male nobles were willing to accept a female ruler.

I'm very interested in English history and French history. I find it so fascinating and cool to learn abt other country's histories.

Thank you for your fascinating videos. If my history professors had been half as interesting as your videos, I would have gotten straight A's in school.
