I'm utterly obsessed with The Tudor dynasty...Also the Elizabethan era. And this is, of course, one of my favourite films. I thank you for uploading it.
@becca92a Mary hated Anne Boleyn, but had an affection for Elizabeth, since Mary was herself unmarried and childless. That affection turned to hatred, fueled by Elizabeth's affair with Thomas Seymour, her lack of active support for Mary during John Dudley's failed usurpation, religious differences, and Elizabeth's supposed role in Wyatt's Rebellion.
If I was a spinster whose attractiveness had been lost through years of fear, illness, and depression, I'd hate my pretty, young half-sister too.
@Hallelujah378 He was not. It was a relative of him that was involved with Lady Jane Grey. And it made Robert an awful reputation during Elizabeth's reign, at least, at the beginning.
I notice a historical inaccuracy: Lord Burghley (William Cecil) is presented as being an elderly man at the beginning of Elizabeth's reign....however, he was only 38 in the real world when Elizabeth became Queen.
@fanfave101 From the Hundred Years War to c. 1800, the English (after 1707, British) monarch claimed the title "King/Queen of France", although this claim was in name only and the only French territory held by the English was the Channel Islands (part of the ancient duchy of Normandy, that remains British to this day).
@emerald7273 The best thing he did? Did Henry break away from the Catholic church because he viewed it as hypocritical greedy and tyrannical? No of course not, he broke away because he wanted to get divorced and remarry but the pope wouldn't allow it; this is the man who killed two of his wives and divorced another two, and had 60,000+ sent to death throughout his reign...
lawrence5584-Because he is the Duke of Norfolk; in the English coronation ceremony, all of the peers (nobles) of the realm wear coronets to denote their nobility. They place them on their own heads at the same moment the Archbishop of Canterbury crowns the monarch. If you check out some of the coronation footage of Elizabeth II, you'll see the same thing.
@emerald7273 you've chosen to make a meal out of a mole because I've somehow offended your sensitive soul in my first post. I just stated my opinion just you've stated yours, but if you have issues with all catholic world then it's not really my problem lol(I'm just a deist). The irony is that people seem to take history so seriously w/o really see that fanaticism is an ugly feature that has blemished all Christian sects in one way or another. No one has moral high ground.
@emerald7273 Now you're saying that the majority catholic population welcomed the order. Why is then thousands of monks,friars,nuns and ordinary people defied that lunatic King Henry's "Act of Supremacy" and paid with their lives? If people were so openly receptive of the new anglican why measures such as the recusancy laws had to be introduced at all and for so long? (By the way anti-catholic penal laws were sill in effect 'till 1829!).
@emerald7273 neither the newly protestants could have claimed moral high ground as power and prejudice corrupts all faiths an creed. Do I need to remind you the "protestant" English and Dutch colonisation of the Americas and the treatment of the Natives or the fabulous wealth they obtained from slave owning plantations? Were they less inclined to be inhumane just because the were not Catholic? C'mon...
@emerald7273 you're wrong about that as the've been plots against Mary too when she became queen. The Wyatt rebellion against her failed coz she was a legitimate(the only non "bastard") heir of King Henry and the majority of people in England were still Catholic. It's very naive to pass a biased and naive comment if one doesn't really understand the complexity of state,religion and politics of 16th century Europe...
@emerald7273 you have a point there as she would have let loyal catholics worship freely. However, due to external events(war with Spain)and xenophobia within her parliament gave rise to the extreme calvinist influence(Puritans) that would lead them into conflict as well with the Anglican church a hundred years later.
@lawrence5584. They were mostly used by the Royals as "little friends" or "little personal servants." back then. Stupid, I know, but that's how it was.
@nacht98 since William the conqueror we had always had a connection with france, but it wasn't until the hundred years war that the English kings really tried to enforce a claim to the whole french kingdom. And those kings did have a claim to the french throne through blood, so it wasn´t just arbitrary. Henry VIII tried to retake more lands but, in the end , had to stick with calais. I think the last English monarch to have a claim to France was Queen Anne.
@nacht98 When Anne died heirless, we replaced her with a whole new dynasty from Germany, the Hanoverians, whose blood connections to the Stuarts (and therefore also Tudors) were pretty remote, and so also were their connections to the French royal bloodline, thus rendering the English regal claim to soverignty over France illegitimate. I think that´s the basic idea - if I´ve got any of my facts wrong and people want to correct me, please do.

Anne Boleyn's still the best. If she was a btch then she was the bitchiest of them all. She was the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. And Queen Elizabeth I loved and respected her mother. The greatest monarch belongs to the whore's child. Be envy it's okay. You can all rot in hell together with Henry VIII. But Anne's Boleyn legacy still lives on. :))

(Reading below, had to get my opinion in...) Anne Boleyn was forgotten because in her time she was nothing more than a cheap, tawdry slut who came into the rightful queen's service and usurped her place. The people hated her and didn't WANT to remember her. She was every bit as horrible as Henry and made her fair contribution to the mental state of the adult Mary, while tearing apart a country in the process. She deserved everything she got and worse.
@emerald7273 Yeah! Anne Boleyn did rock the whole country of England! And Henry VIII did create the Church of England because of her! You're right, it wasn't just because of Elizabeth, although Elizabeth is England's most famous queen. Wow! Anne Boleyn really is an interesting person!
@emerald7273 Yeah! I don't deny that at all! Anne Boleyn was widely forgotten as time went by but isn't it interesting that she made a comeback over the years? I've seen Victorian paintines of her, roguh drawings and sketches of Anne Boleyn done through the centuries.
@emerald7273 I think Elizabeth is what also brought Anne Boleyn to such prestige as a historical person. Think about it, Anne Boleyn was considered a witch and a whore and people hated her but her daughter the mighty Elizabeth I was beloved and glorified her country! What a sharp and almost ironic contradiction!
just into part 3 i feel the BBC production Virgin Queen supercedes this movie. Ann Marie is the best embodiment of Elizabeth and Tom Hardy yum yum. Cate though sweet doesn't radiate that sheer passion and fericiousness.
@lawrence5584 dwarves were considered great entertainment, just by virtue of being, well, dwarves. many monarchs had a dwarf in their retinue, as a kind of status thing, kind of like having the world's coolest pet. Similarly, it was the height of fashion for 17th and 18th century ladies to have an African child as a pageboy or personal maid. Pretty awful, really.
@beatrixn That's fascinating. I've studied history in depth, so I knew about the African pageboy thing, but I never came across dwarves as status symbols. to be honest, I always assumed that dwarves would be considered evil, as the offspring of demons or trolls or something like that. After all, if twins were seen as a sign of adultery....Thank you so much, this was quite enlightening.
@lawrence5584 Before and during the Elizabethan era, it was quite fashionable for royal and noble households to have a "pet dwarf" in residence. The dwarf would often take the place of a court jester, learning jokes and tricks to entertain the family and its guests. The fact that Eliz I had a handmaiden who was a dwarf in this movie may harken to that custom
@lawrence5584 "Okay, can someone please explain to me what the deal is with the dwarf?"
Back in previous centuries "Little People" were considered a mark of your wealth. Every fine house or royal family wanted one. Most were treated fabulously and some were considered highly prized pets.
It's possibly Lady Mary Grey the sister of the ill fated Lady Jane Grey(ever drunk that tea?) who was described as a hunchback dwarf. However it was surprisingly common to keep little people at court as a strange sort of entertainment.
@lawrence5584 Most monarchs at the time had a disfigured servant, commonly a little person. Some little persons served as clown, others as confidants, still others in different capacities. It was, horible to say it, a fashion. It has been suggested that the practice had its origins in Roman times, where retaining disfigured clowns was thought to mock the adversities of life, and keep them at bay.
@shyfly825 The English enjoyed victories at Cádiz in 1587, and over the Spanish Armada in 1588, but lost the initiative upon the complete failure and defeat of the English Armada in 1589.
@assasincomedy The Spanish were very formidible at sea. With the Italians, they crushed the Turks at Lepanto, and the Turkish naval power never really recovered, though it did spring back in the short term.
@assasincomedy That's like saying Hitler practically won Russia even though the Russian weather killed off part of his army and the Russians finished it off. LOL.
Nature's interference or not. A battle lost is a battle lost.
@shyfly825 Single handedly?? I am pretty sure that she had an army of loyal men at her side as well as the Most High God who destroyed the spanish armada with a storm.
it is known that Elizabeth was seen in love w. Robert after some time of her coronation and they spent the time in the tower together -both protestants.
And Robert was married and his wife was older than him.
@MajBlood Uh....I don't quite think that was his son if you know what I mean. I was getting some strange vibes about that relationship there. However, perhaps he was just his servant boy or whatever. He killed him because the boy was first going to kill him. Back then, you certainly didn't leave your enemies alive so they could come do you in at a later time:)
@MajBlood As jlalewicz said that boy was not Geoffrey Rush's character's son. That scene was meant to imply that Walsingham was a puritan (when in fact he was a staunch Protestant), and that he dabbled in same-sex relationships. In any case, Francis Walsingham produced only two daughters, Mary and Frances Walsingham. He didn't have any sons save for his son-in-laws through his daughter, Frances, but seeing as how Walsingham has yet to marry his wife Ursula, Frances has not yet been born =P
Screw the monarchy. Bunch of useless, arrogant men and women who think they’re better than us and who think it’s their ‘God-given right’ to rule – it would make me so happy to see them fall from grace, then we will see how much God loves them. Nothing but a waste of our money keeping that Elizabeth parasite in her throne today; Britain should have abolished the monarchy long ago.
The English never got over the fact that they lost the Hundred Years War to France in 1453. Among other reasons, the war was fought because the English king in 1337 was next in line to the French throne when the French king died childless (the English king was the son of the French king's sister, who had married an earlier English king, so he was his next living male relative). But the French did not want to be ruled by England, thus the war was fought.
@ligreekguy Hello!!! If you speak about the beginning of he 100e century war, Edouard III was the son of isabelle and edouard II (isabelle was not the sister of the great king of France, Philippe IV called "Philippe le bel" because of his legendar beauty, but his daughter. ). After him, his 3 sons died succesively (louis X, PhilippeV, and Charles IV)...The curse of the templars! So, the frenchies choosed the nephew of philippe IV, the son of Charles of Valois to be king...better than a British!
Hello back! Well, the French used the Salic Law (which prevented any woman from acquiring the throne of France) as an excuse to bar the English king from taking over. Even though he was a man, the French argued that he was inheriting the throne through his mother (the sister of the late King of France), and that the Salic Law applied here as well (though there was never any precedent for this).
@ligreekguy Excellent!!! it was philippe V (the 2d son of philippe le bel IVe) who created this law to take the power....his oldest brother (louis X) who was stupid had a daughter, jeanne/ Louis and some others thought she was a bastard/ But Philippe has been very intelligent to create this law (Assembly of july 1316), to became regent first (cause louis's wife was pregnant). But she gave birth to a boy, (Jean Ier), who lived only 5 days/ The regent (philippe, with a great skill), became king/
Well, I believe the Salics were one of the Germanic tribes that "invaded" what was then Gaul during the latter stages of the Roman Empire. It was they who introduced this code, and France would cling stubbornly to it long after countries that one would consider to be more male chauvinistic such as Russia and Spain were ruled by female monarchs.
@ligreekguy yes.The salic law didn't came from ancients Francs, but from a german's tribes/ But philippe V, his lawers,and "Gaucher de Chatillon", the connetable at that time (the militar chief) who all loved Philippe (and was right to love him cause he was a good man and a good king) ,took the salic law, to legitimate his position.but it was a real canular in fact! All successions in France (gave only to the 1st male)came from this assembly created by Philippe V, this july 1316. A fake in fact!
@ligreekguy i love Philippe V! you can't imagine how clever he was! but because of his own law, (he had only 5 daughters), it was his last brother (charles IV) who took the throne/ poor philippe (only 5 years on the throne)/ Of course, after his death, when a british came to speak about isabelle's right (edouard had 16 years old only), the frenchis laughts a lot and choose Philippe VI (the first Valois who was a real calamity!)/ But the Valois was not usurpator at all! they were Capetiens too!
@ligreekguy I just came back from Egypte...a day after, a great mess happened in "Le Caire", and continues..There...You can't imagine all beautys i've found! Have you ever heard of "Rosetta's stone?"/ A stone stolen by the britishs (again!) to Napoleon/Really, on the boat floating all along the Nil, i felt something SACRED/it's an other period of historia (Antiquity), but i realise that in middle age, all was directed by the church.Egyptians, greeks..were civilisations hightly intelligent!
@ligreekguy The British screw us at the beginning.Edouard III was a great king/ At the same time, the frenchs kings (the first Valois was feeble and weak: Philippe VI and his son Jean II was stupid and ridiculous, and Charles VI was sick. (During his reign, the lancaster in England took the power and Henri IV and V was more than determinated!!) Fortunatly for us, The York put their nose on it! ah! ah! tell me! why England always wanted to invade France and never the inverse? Pretentious country!
@ligreekguy when i say "pretentious country", i speak about england!So they always wanted to invade France...It's natural i think! look at England! and look at France! there's nothing in England!A foggy, cold, with grass...only grass on the floor. of course, they reflect the perfect little soldier and have won a lot of battles against france/ The frenchys are undisciplinated, they love revolution and great mess!! the only great militar man we have had was Napoleon who studied Alexander's battle.
Okay..I havea question..her grandmother.Henry VIII's mother..was Queen Elizabeth of England..wouldn't that make Elizabeth Tudor, Elizabeth II, and the present day queen, Elizabeth III?
@LorenaAwesomeChannel True =D And the fact that Elizabeth did become Queen is a testament of the choice Mary had made despite knowing the dangers against her Catholic reformations in England .
I think it is hilarious that Norfolk was determined not to allow his own relative to come to the throne in this film. Obviously because of their religious differences.
@Ratel257 You can get this piece of music looking on Youtube, type in the search "Thomas Tallis - Te Deum", the fragment that play in the coronation ceremony of the film begins at minute 3:22.
I'm sorry, I love the "uuuhhh" sound she makes at 8:53 when they lift that super heavy mantle off her shoulders. Just makes her seem that much more human, despite those guys giving her all the bad news. Who wants to carry a heavy thing like that around anyway? :P
@Nienna1610 Norfolk was the most powerful of dukes at the time and it was almost as if to fill a vacancy but to tell you the truth, I'm not sure if that was historically accurate or simply something added since in all of my studies I have never heard of such a thing being done.
0:05 - Hello, Dr. Hammond. How's Jurassic Park holding up these days? Catholics haven't raided you yet? Called you and the dinosaurs blasphemers and heretics? Lucky. ;-)
That's so crazy that in one second Elizabeth could be sentenced to death like a common criminal for no reason at all, and then the next become the undisputed, most powerful person in the country. What scary times.
@Museleaders All of France used to consist of in those days were the Breton and the Aquitaine. The marriage of King Richard to the queen of France 400 years prior ensured England's hold on Northern France. The french had been consecutively pissed off about this for the time being. The revolt brought about by mary of Guise and other French dukes eventually loosened the grip of England shortly after Elizabeths death when the country fell into bankruptcy from poor colonial/financial management.
@Museleaders England's possessions from France went back to the 100 year's war in the 1300s-1400s, when one of the kings (Edward III I think) had a very close claim to the throne of France. Bit by bit, England's possessions were lost, until the northernmost city of Calais remained. Their proclamation is actually quite wrong. Calais was lost under Mary, and I'm pretty sure that was the last of England's french possessions in 1558.

@emerald7273 Yeah! I don't deny that at all! Anne Boleyn was widely forgotten as time went by but isn't it interesting that she made a comeback over the years? I've seen Victorian paintines of her, roguh drawings and sketches of Anne Boleyn done through the centuries.
LucyLovettLestrange 7 months ago
@emerald7273 I think Elizabeth is what also brought Anne Boleyn to such prestige as a historical person. Think about it, Anne Boleyn was considered a witch and a whore and people hated her but her daughter the mighty Elizabeth I was beloved and glorified her country! What a sharp and almost ironic contradiction!

@lawrence5584 dwarves were considered great entertainment, just by virtue of being, well, dwarves. many monarchs had a dwarf in their retinue, as a kind of status thing, kind of like having the world's coolest pet. Similarly, it was the height of fashion for 17th and 18th century ladies to have an African child as a pageboy or personal maid. Pretty awful, really.
beatrixn 8 months ago
@beatrixn That's fascinating. I've studied history in depth, so I knew about the African pageboy thing, but I never came across dwarves as status symbols. to be honest, I always assumed that dwarves would be considered evil, as the offspring of demons or trolls or something like that. After all, if twins were seen as a sign of adultery....Thank you so much, this was quite enlightening.
lawrence5584 8 months ago
@lawrence5584 Before and during the Elizabethan era, it was quite fashionable for royal and noble households to have a "pet dwarf" in residence. The dwarf would often take the place of a court jester, learning jokes and tricks to entertain the family and its guests. The fact that Eliz I had a handmaiden who was a dwarf in this movie may harken to that custom

Back in previous centuries "Little People" were considered a mark of your wealth. Every fine house or royal family wanted one. Most were treated fabulously and some were considered highly prized pets.

It's possibly Lady Mary Grey the sister of the ill fated Lady Jane Grey(ever drunk that tea?) who was described as a hunchback dwarf. However it was surprisingly common to keep little people at court as a strange sort of entertainment.
TheMargotcat 5 months ago
@lawrence5584 Most monarchs at the time had a disfigured servant, commonly a little person. Some little persons served as clown, others as confidants, still others in different capacities. It was, horible to say it, a fashion. It has been suggested that the practice had its origins in Roman times, where retaining disfigured clowns was thought to mock the adversities of life, and keep them at bay.

@MajBlood As jlalewicz said that boy was not Geoffrey Rush's character's son. That scene was meant to imply that Walsingham was a puritan (when in fact he was a staunch Protestant), and that he dabbled in same-sex relationships. In any case, Francis Walsingham produced only two daughters, Mary and Frances Walsingham. He didn't have any sons save for his son-in-laws through his daughter, Frances, but seeing as how Walsingham has yet to marry his wife Ursula, Frances has not yet been born =P

Screw the monarchy.

Nothing but a waste of our money keeping that Elizabeth parasite in her throne today; Britain should have abolished the monarchy long ago.

@LucasHiltonVicious16
The English never got over the fact that they lost the Hundred Years War to France in 1453. Among other reasons, the war was fought because the English king in 1337 was next in line to the French throne when the French king died childless (the English king was the son of the French king's sister, who had married an earlier English king, so he was his next living male relative). But the French did not want to be ruled by England, thus the war was fought.
ligreekguy 1 year ago
@ligreekguy Hello!!! If you speak about the beginning of he 100e century war, Edouard III was the son of isabelle and edouard II (isabelle was not the sister of the great king of France, Philippe IV called "Philippe le bel" because of his legendar beauty, but his daughter. ). After him, his 3 sons died succesively (louis X, PhilippeV, and Charles IV)...The curse of the templars! So, the frenchies choosed the nephew of philippe IV, the son of Charles of Valois to be king...better than a British!
verobinful 1 year ago
@verobinful
Hello back! Well, the French used the Salic Law (which prevented any woman from acquiring the throne of France) as an excuse to bar the English king from taking over. Even though he was a man, the French argued that he was inheriting the throne through his mother (the sister of the late King of France), and that the Salic Law applied here as well (though there was never any precedent for this).
ligreekguy 1 year ago
@ligreekguy Excellent!!! it was philippe V (the 2d son of philippe le bel IVe) who created this law to take the power....his oldest brother (louis X) who was stupid had a daughter, jeanne/ Louis and some others thought she was a bastard/ But Philippe has been very intelligent to create this law (Assembly of july 1316), to became regent first (cause louis's wife was pregnant). But she gave birth to a boy, (Jean Ier), who lived only 5 days/ The regent (philippe, with a great skill), became king/
verobinful 1 year ago
@verobinful
Well, I believe the Salics were one of the Germanic tribes that "invaded" what was then Gaul during the latter stages of the Roman Empire. It was they who introduced this code, and France would cling stubbornly to it long after countries that one would consider to be more male chauvinistic such as Russia and Spain were ruled by female monarchs.
ligreekguy 1 year ago
@ligreekguy yes.The salic law didn't came from ancients Francs, but from a german's tribes/ But philippe V, his lawers,and "Gaucher de Chatillon", the connetable at that time (the militar chief) who all loved Philippe (and was right to love him cause he was a good man and a good king) ,took the salic law, to legitimate his position.but it was a real canular in fact! All successions in France (gave only to the 1st male)came from this assembly created by Philippe V, this july 1316. A fake in fact!
verobinful 1 year ago
@ligreekguy i love Philippe V! you can't imagine how clever he was! but because of his own law, (he had only 5 daughters), it was his last brother (charles IV) who took the throne/ poor philippe (only 5 years on the throne)/ Of course, after his death, when a british came to speak about isabelle's right (edouard had 16 years old only), the frenchis laughts a lot and choose Philippe VI (the first Valois who was a real calamity!)/ But the Valois was not usurpator at all! they were Capetiens too!

@Museleaders All of France used to consist of in those days were the Breton and the Aquitaine. The marriage of King Richard to the queen of France 400 years prior ensured England's hold on Northern France. The french had been consecutively pissed off about this for the time being. The revolt brought about by mary of Guise and other French dukes eventually loosened the grip of England shortly after Elizabeths death when the country fell into bankruptcy from poor colonial/financial management.

@Museleaders England had a historical claim to the French throne.
JustJim70118 1 year ago
@Museleaders England's possessions from France went back to the 100 year's war in the 1300s-1400s, when one of the kings (Edward III I think) had a very close claim to the throne of France. Bit by bit, England's possessions were lost, until the northernmost city of Calais remained. Their proclamation is actually quite wrong. Calais was lost under Mary, and I'm pretty sure that was the last of England's french possessions in 1558.
