The narrator is wrong on a few of his comments. Mary Queen of Scots was not responsible for Darnleys murder but got the blame with no proof whatsoever just falsified letters not written by Queen Mary in several handwriting not Queen Mary's. Also Darnley is not buried beside Queen Mary in Westminster Abbey he was buried in Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh.

Interesting that Elizabeth I, Mary I, and Mary, Queen of Scots are buried close together, since in life none of the three women liked each other.

@londonluke6487 5 ай бұрын

@JimMac23 Hi Jim. That was the doing of King James VI of Scotland & I of England! Mary was originally the sole occupant, of the vault "she now shares with her Sister Mary." When Elizabeth died, she was originally laid to rest with her grandparents Henry VII & Elizabeth of York, on their vault." When James became king, "he'd earmarked Elizabeth's place for himself = & had her moved into her Sister's vault" adding indult to injury, by placing Elizabeth's coffin on top of Mary's. He then had his executed mother moved from Peterborough Cathedral to Westminster in 1606. Having fine tombs built for the much loved & mourned Elizabeth "with but the scarcest mention of Mary I." & had an "ever so slightly larger one, built for his own mother, Mary Queen of Scots." I'll do a piece on Elizabeth I, being moved, when I carry on with my "restless royal Corpses series." ✌️

Made another mistake, Beaufort was not married to Jasper Tudor, she was married to Edmond, Jasper's older brother. She was married at 12 years of age and gave birth to her only child, Henry at 13. The birth tore her up so bad she could never have any more children. Jasper pretty much raised Henry VII keeping him safe in exile and fought beside him upon returning to England.

Beaufort's husband was not Hastings but Stanley.....who was Captain of the Tower. Making it very possible for Beaufort to gain access herself or had someone get in kill the two boys with no one knowing. Paving the way as you said for her son to take the throne. I always thought it odd that Henry VII never did anything to learn the truth of what happened to his beloved wife's brothers. He just excepted the story being told that Richard III was responsible for their disappearance.

You are wrong Queen Mary I of Scotland (MQOS) was indeed buried as a Queen by the very state that illegally murdered her. Queen Mary was buried with the full pomp of a state funeral attended by the English nobility with Elizabeth personally represented by her friend the Countess of Bedford. Whilist Queen Mary did not actually rule in England she was the legitimate and rightful Queen of England as well of Scotland. Elizabeth Tudor was illegitimate. The officers of State at end of the state funeral broke their staffs of office which happens only to monarchs. It's very curious to note the English government and Elizabeth acordeded he full dignity and Majesty of a Queen who they accused of treason and then murdered her on trumped up fabricated evidence. I am not aware of any other person so condemned given a State funeral by that estate. It is without doubt an admission and acknowledgement of guilt they had committed regicide against their legitimate and rightful Queen. When Queen Mary's son King James VI of Scotland inherited his rightful claim to the English crown through his Mother in 1603 .sent a velvet Pall to hang over his mother's tomb in Peterborough cathedral . In 1612 King James had his mother's body brought to Westminster Abbey and placed in the magnificent tomb he ensured his mother's rightful and legitimate claim to the English crown was acknowledged from which his right came. It is Queen Mary I of Scotland ,the legitimate and rightful Queen of England bloodline that sits on the British Throne today,King Charles III IS 14TH IN direct descent from Queen Mary of Scotland as do most of the monarchs in Europe. Queen Mary shares her tomb with many of her Stuart descendants , eg her granddaughter Elizabeth the Winter Queen, grandsons Henry Prince of Scotland , England and Wales,her Gr Grandson' Princess Rupert of tbe Rhine and her cousin Arabella Stuart with the dead Children of her GGr Granddaughter Queen Anne unlike Elizabeth who shares a tomb with her half sister Queen Mary I. Also just up from Queen Mary's tomb which is he most elaborate and imposing tomb in Westminster Abbey at the Winter is the Stuart Vault that contains the remains of more of Queen Mary's Stuart descendants,her Gr Grandson' Charles II,Gr Grandson' William II of Scotland III of England,her Granddaughters Queen Mary II of Scotland and England, Queen Anne of Scotland and England and the very first monarch of Great Britain. Queen Mary had a terrible time but despite it all she has ultimately triumphed .those who falsely condemned her including Elizabeth Tudor will answer on the day of judgement for he murder of their legitimate and rightful Queen. .Rest in peace Queen Mary ❤❤

Both Queen Mary and Henry Lord Darnley grandmother was Queen Margaret Tudor wife of King James IV of Scotland Queen Mary's claim was superior to Darnley s coming from first marriage , Darnley descended from 2nd marriage of Queen Margaret Tudor, making Queen Mary an Darnley first cousins on maternal side but I think 3rd cousin's on the Paternal side as Darnley was descended through his father Mathew Stuart from James III of Scotland.

It’s an interesting fact that more British Catholics were executed for their faith in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I than the entire existence of the Spanish Inquisition. Queen Mary’s meagre list was outstripped by Queen Elizabeth I by an enormous margin. The fact that we automatically assume otherwise is down to one thing: a massive and hugely successful propaganda exercise mounted from the HQ of the Protestant Church at the time; Geneva. As an Englishman who had always been taught otherwise I was very surprised to learn that these are documented historical facts.

Hi Nina. Initially Queen Elizabeth I "was buried in the vault with her grandparents, in the King Henry VII Lady Chapel." With no marker for her. In 1606 "3 years after her death" King James her successor, had her moved + this memorial made. His mother, Mary Queen of Scots executed in 1587 & originally buried in Peterborough Cathedral." King James, had her exhumed & moved to Westminster in 1612, & that's when her monument was made. So Elizabeth's 3 years after her death. & Mary's 25 years after her death ✌️
