Wyatt's Rebellion AGAINST Queen Mary Tudor 1554

[@jollyjohnzz]

Wyatt was an ancestor of mine . When I was a boy in the 60s my Grandad took me to the Tower . After chatting to a Beefeater and slipping him 20 quid he took us to where the records are stored . He pulled out Wyatt's death warrant for me to see ! I was very affected by it and tried to do the same with my sons ,but was told things are much stricter these days and to put a request in in writing . Was a great day though, I'll never forget seeing ' Mary R ' on the large piece of parchment that was the warrant.

[@TheHistoryChap]

Wow that's a brilliant family story. Also great to hear how you could blag your way into historic sites whereas nowadays you need to jump through goodness knows how many hoops.

[@jollyjohnzz]

@@TheHistoryChap similarly , I was a server in Hereford cathedral as a boy . I used to have the keys so I could go in at 6.30 and start setting up for first communion . I'd walk through the darkened cathedral and pass my the tomb effigy of Putta the first Bishop. I'd pat his head and say good morning. He was buried in 660 ! My other duties included winding the clock , it meant I had a free run of the building . Not once did I ever find it spooky . I still feel like that Cathedral is partly mine . Especially as a later ancestor built the west end of it . I'm a history addict like your self , I read history books rather than novels as its much more exciting to read about something that actually happened .

[@joshearhart6142]

So you're lookin up everything cause we have a famous ancestor?! ME TOO!!

[@laguna3fase4]

I wonder if I was related to him ?

[@jollyjohnzz]

@@laguna3fase4 It's well known in my family . We are a Herefordshire family ,but I do believe there was another branch based on the South Coast . Both branches being related to him . We are also related , by marriage, to Llwellyn the last Welsh Prince of Wales . Sir Joseph Paxton , who built the Crystal Palace is also a relative .

Once again Chris another gem, I had heard of the Wyatt Rebellion, but didn't know much about it and never knew it happened on Fleet Street, by the way the Wyatts are in my tree, Sir John Wyatt b 1569 was married to my 8th great aunt and lived at Allington Castle. now a hotel, one of his relatives was a famous poet

[@TheHistoryChap]

Thanks Linda, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your family links too.

[@JonniePolyester]

That was excellent! Wyatt’s Rebellion has a ‘pre-echo’ of Monmouth’s Rebellion over a century later

[@TheHistoryChap]

Interesting comparison. Thanks for sharing.

[@JonniePolyester]

@@TheHistoryChap it’s something I’ve always been fascinated by since studying the Reformation at Uni 30 years ago… the political / religious aspects are often well covered but the social aspect: asking your entire population to stop worshiping in the way they had been doing for hundreds of years and do things in quite frankly austere and dull way: no bells no smells!

[@lesleysmith51]

Very interesting. In a way it was a shame that Wyatt didn't succeed as he would of stopped the reign of Bloody Mary. At least she didn't live very long. I always felt sorry for Lady Jane Grey as she was supposed to be very intelligent and deserved better. I don't remember learning very much about Mary Tudor like you said.

[@TheHistoryChap]

I get the feeling that Mary wasn't a particularly nice person or good queen. However in her defence she was a fiery Tudor who had a crap childhood.

[@Hilts931]

Mary was a product of her time - committed the same crimes as Elizabeth for similar reasons and, interestingly, in similar numbers. One is bloody - one is golden.

[@greg_4201]

Well, it kind of follows that if there weren't all these attempted usurpations then probably no 'reign of Blood' would have occurred.

[@hekatoncheiros208]

Mary was just grumpy because she looked so much like Dennis Waterman.

[@kaylemoine1571]

A balanced presentation. Bloody Mary was no bloody than Henry and Elizabeth. Thank you.

[@TheHistoryChap]

Kay, compared to both Henry VIII and Elizabeth I she was a lot less bloody. Maybe if she had had a few more years and Phillip had introduced the Inquisition...

[@fredazcarate4818]

I enjoyed most of your video presentation regarding Mary Tudor. However I did take slight offence ,by your remark regarding the Tudor Welch blood and Mary's mother. As I am part Welch and Basque and Italian. Your comment, has bit of, shall we say, unfounded nonsense. Not all Spaniards are hot blooded, nor are all Welch hotheaded . Yet I still enjoyed most of the presentation. Once again thank you for producing another gem of a video. God bless you!

[@TheHistoryChap]

Thanks for taking the time to contribute. Mary used to scream at her father from the windows of various palaces when he was divorcing her mother, so whether it was her blood or her upbringing she had a temper.

Imagine If Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were never killed by Henry the 8 and they both got a divorce from Henry and Anne Boleyn remarried to a Protestant man from another country like a duke or king or royalty could she gain power again or when Jane Seymour died she becomes queen consort of England again and win Henry the 8 heart again or is that impossible what about Catherine Howard since she had a smaller age gap between her and Edward the 6 since Lady Jane Grey and Mary queen of Scots were considered for Edward the 6 to marry if the Howard’s want power again could Cathrine Howard also be a talk to Marry Edward the 6 or is that very unlikely and no one would think of an idea of Cathrine Howard marrying Edward the 6 in your thoughts and opinions thanks

Imagine if Lady Jane Grey was never killed then in 1559 she escaped England and moved to Sweden with Gilford had children and her children married into Swedish royal family and if Mary queen of Scots also escaped England in 1587 and moved to Spain married a powerful catholic and had another child on her 40s then in 1603 if both Lady Jane Grey had the backing of Protestant countries and Mary queen of Scots had the backing of the catholic countries to be the next queen of England then in 1603 could that be another war and could Elizabeth the 1 find both Lady Jane Grey and Mary queen of Scots both a bigger threat then they were once and could this lead to more plots to replace Elizabeth I with either Lady Jane Grey or Mary Queen of Scots in your opinion

[@TheHistoryChap]

Blimey, that is an intriguing possibility. With regard to Mary Queen of Scots marrying a Spanish king/Prince...at the time the English were really anti-Spain so am not convinced it would have helped her cause.

[@reynardthefox]

Well done . If I remember correctly Elizabeth was sent to the Tower and later released by Mary ? And in fact,you could call the Rebels loyalists to the King's wishes(Henry VIII) and Mary's choice of a husband made England a junior partner to Spain

[@TheHistoryChap]

Don, you are absolutely right about Elizabeth being sent to the Tower. Many around Mary wanted her to execute her half-sister but they just couldn't pin anything on her.
