The English Reformation 6/6

[ChezzaSoldier94]

Anne Boleyn had triumphed from the grave over Catherine of Aragon, as her daughter, Elizabeth, would outlast Mary and undo all her pious hopes.

The mistake is made in this film with equating catholic with Roman Catholic. This is a great historical fallacy for there are many catholics in history that are not Roman. The early church for the first 4 centuries was a communion of catholic churches, only one of them being Roman. The Eastern church are catholics and they have never been Roman. The Celts were catholics long before they were Roman. And the Reformers, particularly Crammer died believing they were the true catholics.

Thanks for uploading this.

Simon Starkey and David Schama make excellent documentaries.

Mary was not an evil woman but a woman of her time among countless people who saw the destruction Protestantism brought. It so easily could have gone another way if Mary had been 10 years younger and produced an heir. Catholic England would have not been lost.

And yet the Pope was recently received in England. Life goes on. I am not a Catholic, but I do support the separation of church and state

Queen Mary is deemed one of the most evil women in history. Ah, poor Mary, so long as the murders are done in the name of the RCC, you are fine with it. What sort of a good thing is it for a pope to encourage people to assassinate? Isn't he supposed to be like Jesus, BTW, He never murdered anyone. Jesuits made their play in Guy Fawkes attempt to blow up Parliament. Despite being Jewish, you kiss the hem of the pope quite well. RCC is a replacement religion, replacing Jews as God's chosen people.

He is a brilliant narrator, as long as you don't have to watch him twitch and squirm.

[PoliticalPars]

@marcuscato I suspect early signs of Parkinson's Disease, not twitching for squirming sake. I may be wrong, but it is somewhat likely.

Edward the Boy King...

should be remembered as Edward the Vandal or Edward the Philistine.

[fatmaccam]

[SoILoveCheese2011]

Those stories of the people burned were terrible.

[QueenieLizzie]

@SoILoveCheese2011

Mary I was a murderess.

[QueenieLizzie]

They went on the run.

[2MuchSkill]

Schama is awesome

his tone of speech is entertaining and it keeps you listening

[RealityCalling]

He is the only historian who had made TV stuff that I take seriously. Starkey is a twit. Oh and Schama is hot.

[quillendaniel]

What was once a national church would become a faith on the run.....eloquent ending, very Starkey....

[quillendaniel]

"What ever happened to Catholic England..."

[quillendaniel]

The best clip in the six part episode....Schama at his best......
