  • this guy is reading off wiki

  • He should have been called John-Thomas Seymour the lecherous disgusting man!

  • My God, ol' Thomas Seymour would've made the "To Catch a Predator" show in modern times.......

  • That quote in the description, it was actually a 17th Century Italian novelist called Letti who invented it, along with some forged letters that were long suppose to be Elizabeth's.

  • is it just me, but the woman in the vid playing elizabeth looks more like 20 than 14

  • @pussiepie1470 I'd give her older acfually.. Looks 28

  • @ilikeafrica she did have a little crush on him, how ever she never truly wanted a relationship with him, so it was abuse

  • Elizabeth was actually in love with Seymour, or so I've read. She had a little crush on him cause supposedly he was one of the finest men at court. So I wouldn't all together say she was sexually abused, because she did indeed like him.

  • @ilikeafrica she may have a school girls crush on him, but he ran out. It was indeed abuse he took advantage of her.

  • @ilikeafrica She might have loved him, but she did not want a sexual relationship with him. She was only 14.

  • I can't bear to watch the rest of this! Did she tell Ed? He would have had his head within a second!

  • Wow, and Catherine Parr is supposed to be an intelligent woman.

  • i can't believe i just watched all that. i'm such a nerd <3

  • Hey!

    Great video! (:

    I send you a PM some weeks ago because I really need the information about this video. It would be really nice of you to answer (:

  • i cant believe a nine year old child could be king...is that awkward???

  • @PrincessMelody6 no that was USUAL

  • @ausendundeinenacht yeah but the others were king at their teenages but edward was crowned king at 9...he's still a kid...

  • what dont get is she such good woman..cared for them why..didnt see belive how bad this guy was..for she hated herny as all she used him..but we all she loved his children..

  • No wonder she did not marry, along with what Starkey said, I think she was traumatized! 

  • @MosaicMaiden I would bet on it. She was too young and too sheltered to handle or even fully understand the sexual overtones/seduction from a 40 yr old man who was supposed  to be her guardian. Then to have to testify at court and know the man was hanged on her testimony.

  • Comment removed

  • Had Katherine Parr lived by the times of these accusations i believe they would have accused her of wrong doing and killed her too

  • he said 'gonna" you're an aristocrat descendant from noblemen and you say "gonna" smh

  • the earlist pedofile hahahah

  • The lady who plays Katherine Parr seemed familiar to me. I looked her up and she is Anthony Hopkins's daughter. How cool is that?

  • That Elizabeth is ugly...*shudder*

  • @breezybabiixoxo And looks older than any 14 year old I've ever seen.

  • Thomas Seymour was a creep...I hope he's rotting in he**.

  • what the hell does "romped" mean!

  • Seymour was a perv!

  • Seymour is CREEPY!!

  • which part comes after this?

  • she looks like 35! not 14!

  • poor elizabeth...she was just a child

  • Does anyone know the actress who portrayed Elizabeth?

  • Were all men in England ambitious at this time, or only the ones for whom Elizabeth fell?

  • She didn't fall for him... and yes, all nobles were ambitious for power and influence. It was a power game and played for the highest stakes. See Henry VIII's reign for the sheer number of ambitious nobles who lost their heads.

  • Aren't ALL men ambitious? Lol

  • This is so untrue. There was no relationship going on between Thomas Seymour and Princess Elizabeth. Thomas married Catherine Parr, the widow of King Henry The VIII

  • It has been suspected that Thomas Seymour and Elizabeth had something together. A rumour said that Katherine Parr surprised them once kissing or in bed together. Tis is why Katherine sent Elizabeth away.

  • Yes, he was married to Catherine, and she was even pregnant, but that didn't stop him from trying to seduce Elizabeth.

  • that picture of Edward makes him look so smug.

  • I do not really understand why Kat was laughing.

  • @melvinhendrikse It wasn't Kat laughing, it was Catherine Parr. I think (emphasis on think xD) that she was laughing because she thought it was all an innocent game.

  • Yes. I noticed before that there was another actress playing Kat. Yet still it seems quite strange for Catherine to laugh... especially since most woman are quite jealous to begin with.

  • Well, wasn't she pregant at the time with Thomas' child? Maybe she was laughing because she wanted to keep Thomas with her whatever way possible.. let's face it, the Tudors acted weird sometimes. xD

  • Ugh.. so it would be "desperate pregnant housewives" rather than "the tudors"? :-O

  • Haha, maybe.. But hey, the Tudors were alright really, well, if you excuse the chopping of heads and burning at the stake.. =/

  • I think the actress portraying Elizabeth is beautiful. She has gorgeous skin, hair, and strong bone structure.

  • Why King Edward that one who heir the crown or kingdom

  • if i was Elizabeth I sister i would have done everything to protect her and keep her safe in my arms from everyone who tried to do harm to her..then i would have those hanged, drawn, and quartered..and have them remember their alliegiance to Elizabeth I.

  • haroof

    No. She was shrewd, tactical and clever. She knew what she was doing and she also knew what she needed to do to survive. Her ambition was to become Queen. Dying for her religion isn't gonna help is it. To do so seems rather stupid really. Elizabeth was thinking and planning the future. Furthermost she ruled with her head and not with her heart.

  • It's human nature to do what's neccessary to survive..Who's to say you wouldn't do the same in her position..

    Don't say you know how you'd react, because you will most likley never be threatend with exectuion by your half sister.

  • "Little King Edward the 6th had stepped into his father's shoes, but they were several sizes too big for him."

    Yeah. Imagine if he stepped into his father's clothes. :-D

  • @DuttyGyal718 lol

  • @DuttyGyal718 Poor kid would have been buried.

  • For a man who was supposed to be handsome and sexually appealing, this Thomas Seymour was pretty creepy looking.

  • @waterlilyqueen you have to think of the standards of 'handsome' at that time

  • @waterlilyqueen true

    he was a rapist in the making

    VIRGIN , by robin maxwell is quite an interesting read

  • @waterlilyqueen It's the creepy moustache and beard

  • @waterlilyqueen well I guess they wnated his outsides to match his insides

  • @waterlilyqueen

    Pedophile  material aye?

  • It's no wonder Elizabeth didn't marry! The prominent male figures in her life were either power mad and heinous (her father and Seymor) or weak and stupid in their ambitions (Dudley).  Faced with the horror of choosing a husband who had some or all of those traits, I think I would've been a 'virgin' queen myself...

  • "Dudley" was not weak and stupid in his ambitions. he had great ambitions though, but he did not pretend to love Elizabeth so he could marry her. He loved her and stood by her side until the day he died so dont you tell me these stupid things you said.

  • To Gwyn142:

    I believe that Dudley was weak and stupid in his ambitions because he did not have enough sense to get out of his own way and often times caused Elizabeth a great deal of personal and professional pain with his actions. As for loving her, I'm sure he did and she loved him as well, but he lacked discipline and common sense, in my opinion and Elizabeth was wise not to make him (or any man) her consort...

  • Let me add in my comment to Gwyn142 that I do not appreciate my opinions being referred to as stupid. Can people not disagree without throwing around school yard insults like five year olds these days? I have a right to say what I please, within reason, as do you and anyone else. I try to make discussions pleasant, even engaging, so please show me some respect and I will show the same...

  • Wow, I never knew what a creeper Thomas Seymour was.

  • I don't really like this portrayal of Catherine Parr- it almost makes it look as if she knew what was going on. I mean, when she laughed as Elizabeth ran away after her gown was cut, it made her look hysterical and involved O__O

  • Thomas was such a child-abusing shit !!!

    No wonder Elizabeth never married

  • yes thomas made elizabeth fall in love with him while he was only after her throne knowing that she might someday rise to power..perhaps elizabeth never married but all the hardships she passed thru made her into the great ruling queen she became later. "I have the heart of a man, not of a woman, and I'm not afraid of anything.." she was to say later

  • Forty year old married man running down a 14 yr old girl in his own household: too bad they didn't have terms like statutory rape and pedophilia back then.

  • women were blamed for all of men's evils back then.

  • MrCharlesDouglas:

    ROFLMAO

    Glad to hear it works for *someone*!

    Patrick3183: What's the name of this DVD set? I'd love to see the whole thing!

  • I just got this entire DVD set in the mail yesterday!

  • no wonder elizabeth never married. that was traumatic for any kid to go through. geez. that and her mother's fate...

  • and Catherine Howard.

  • and being shut up in the tower of london and questioned ruthlessly on the subject of attempting to murder her sister, bloody mary, of course she wasn't doing that..but all those yrs in prison turned her into a very wrathful woman, she is famous for her temper tantrums among other grander and greater things like her intelligence and wit...

  • and the fact that she didn't mentally break down and give in to the accusations during the interrogation, hats off to her.

  • To vashtiverous78:

    She might have had a temper, but she never let it cloud her judgement. She might have sent people who angered her away from court or even the tower for a time in extreme cases, but that was it.

    Unlike her father, who had heads cut off right, left, and centre.

  • @KateFan Elizibeth, daughter of King Henry the VIII of the House of Tudor. In my humble opinion was, England's finest Monarch.

  • @KateFan YEA, BUT FORGET! She called mary queen of soctts when she did nothing wrong..she just a girl..

  • Yes, as we all know, the best way to get a girl into bed is to slash her dress into pieces. I use my pen knife whenever I go clubbing. Works every time. :)

  • lol o how seductive, if its not broken dont fix it and it seems to have worked for over 400 years

  • Lol. "Little King edward the sixth had stepped into his father's shoes, but they were several sizes too big for him." imagine if he stepped into his father's clothes.

    :-P

    J/P

  • I LOVE ELLI :D

  • who else thinks that the women playing young elizabeth looks like she's in her early 30's?

  • me!!!! she's way too old to be young elizabeth

  • @squirrelflight5 who the fuck cares!

  • @elinheartstristin it's just an opinion no reason to get all bitchy about it.

  • @squirrelflight5 lol guess i was being a little prissy. xD

  • Thomas is sick.

    Omg I would give him a b*tchslap. XD

  • Thomas was a sick fuck, glad they handled him.

  • Anne was not a damn witch.She was simply a beautiful and intellegent young woman lusted for by a Lustful King.Her only sin was trusting him in the first place.

  • Amen

  • Oh yes Evil Angel eyes, because Henry and Katherine had the perfect marriage before Anne came along right? Read a damn book.

  • and Jane was an irritating sow

  • exactly.

  • that and attempting to get involved in the politics of religion.

  • mary kept her eye on elizabeth at all times unlike edward but mary was a bad queen

  • thomas seymour is a peodile

  • Elizabeth was suppose to have been 15. which was consider marrying age. Girls in that era got married as young as 12 (although that was to young) therefore age 15 was the perfect age for courtship.

  • ahem..context sir, context. things were different then.

    besides, its ephebophile, not pedophile. afterall, he lusted after a teen.

  • doesn't make it ok, you perverted fuckface, he was still a filthy predator after a minor child, that's all the context you need. Try using that BS excuse with the police. Just STFU, you weird fuck!

  • I never said it was ok-where the hell did you get the idea from? I'm just saying this was how things were done then. Its important to understand the context of an action before judging it. and in this case, yes, to ME and YOU it was perverted, yes, it was digusting, and no, I did not indicate otherwise (read the second sentace). but neither I nor you are them, and to say so is stupidity. that is all I pointed out-historical context.

    & grow up. using fuck only proves you are a primitive to me.

  • WHAT A FUCKING CREEPER!

  • Thomas Seymore was a creep. He was 30 years old when set out to seduce Elizabeth. He failed with Mary, so he went to the next in line for the throne, Elizabeth. I wonder who's idea it was for Elizabeth to move in with Katherine Parr. Was it Katherine, or Thomas???

  • that lady playing elizabeth looks like 30 or something NOT 14!!!

  • that's because they wouldn't let anything like that happen to a 14 yr old on video its against the law

  • If you read "the virgin queen" by Susan Kay, you'll probably look at it in another way.

  • don't you mean Legacy?

  • Oh, yeah. It's just that in my country, it's called 'the virgin queen' XD

  • I love elizabeth

    shes my favourite historic role model :)

    shes great

    thomas seymours a freak ure right

  • thomas seymour is such a FREAK!

  • I know! Who would try to seduce a kid?!!??!

  • squirrelflight5, A sick pedophile scumbag. Glad he died, fucker!

  • dont judge them by our standards-they lived to be 50 if they were lucky-25 was middle age-to be 15 years of age was to be 25 years of age in our times-ie, nothing immoral to them about sleeping with a 15 year old

  • "turning point in her life" . . . a horrible one :(

  • GRRRR the Seymours make me angry and sick...and I'm not sorry about it.The more I study & read/watch on the subject,I am infuriated at Thomas Seymour and not too fond of Jane for my own laundry list of reasons,but what is with Catherine holding Elizabeth when THomas is cutting her dress up? And why in hell would he cut her dress to pieces??? I mean I know she could get more fabric but that's rediculous and check out the goofy laugh that the Catherine character lets out during that scene!

  • You can't be too harsh on Jane. She was a pawn in Edward and Thomas' scheme for power, much in the same way Anne and Mary Boleyn were pawns of their family. The real evils are the families themselves. As for the Seymours, Edward was the greater evil of the two brothers.

  • I don't get Catherine on her stand on this; historian Alison Weir said that sometimes Catherine helped Thomas and his advances toward Elizabeth (holding her down etc) but when she saw them together sometime she banished Elizabeth. What?

  • it's denial. she didn't want to see what was going on, and if course women always get mad at the wrong person and never the guy

  • @k10edd i think that is one of those things where the mother figure or wife tends to put the blame on the child and not the man. catherine was prob. in denial and wrongly blames elizabeth instead of seymore.

  • can someone please tell me who Lady Jane Grey's (the 9 day queen) parents were. also, where did Thomas Seymour come from. Who was he related to?

  • Lady Jane Grey's parents were Frances,Duchess of Suffolk and Henry Grey. Frances was the daughter of mary tudor (sister of henry VIII of england) and charles brandon. Thomas Seymour was the brother of jane seymour (king henry VIII's 3rd wife) and edward seymour. he was also the uncle of king edward VI (son of king henry VIII and queen jane).

  • I hate Thomas Seymour

  • apparently she actually did have sex with him sort of rapish cos she is young but she consented and she did fall pregnant an miscarried when she was banished and supposedly ill. it was just a rumour tho. but it is the tudors after all i wouldnt be suprised if it was true!

  • There is absolutely no evidence that Elizabeth was ever pregnant with Seymour's child. There was a rumour that she was, and Elizabeth was furious at such rumours and even wrote to the Lord Protector asking to be allowed to go to court to show everyone that she was not pregnant. She lacked a confidante to hide a pregnancy. If she had been this would have been reported to the Council.

  • I know! All of the old english stories totally support what there saying. One remour was anne was a witch. wchich isn't totally impossible knowing everything back then

  • I agree she was the one whom reigned the longest with 46 years she was worth everything with domination just shows women are just as good a men !!!

  • i can't believe cathrine parr just held her like that, she was her own step mother, and couldn't she see that he was a pervert!

  • no it wasnt quite like that they cut her gown as a joke because they both thought she had been in mourning of her father king henry too long. it was still out of order and i hink catherine really wanted to believe it was all innocent.

  • I thought that too...

  • Thomas Seymour = Noble Pedophile. What a creep he was. Elizabeth was fortunate to survive him.

  • wtf

  • Poor little girl, im so glad she became the wonderful queen she was, she is an absolute inspiration. I adore her, she overcame a horrible father who killed her mother and a pervert and became such a wonderfuly strong woman. I love her to this day and have done scince i first learned of her. Long live her memory, our queen elizabeth! Englands greatest monarch ! xx

  • Right!!Elizabeth is a beautiful and intelligent queen. no matter how Thomas Seymour sucks,

    she's my heroine!!

  • What a creep! I can see why Elizabeth decided to stay single.

  • He Got What He Deserved!.

    Elizabeth Was Safe From Him At Last.

    With Respect Seymour.

  • yuck what a pervert he was. cutting her gown like that and coming into her bedchambers. She was just a confused girl of 14 who didn't know what to think of it!! poor elizabeth!

  • It was no wonder she was so weary of love and men. Considering the example her father set and then the drama with Thomas.

  • poor girl

  • please don't be so daft nd Nyway its reincarnated, not rencranted. duh!

  • Comment removed

  • huh?

  • Thomas Seymour, you disgusting pervert! No wonder that creep got beheaded afterwards, he should have been ashamed of himself.

  • Did he sexually abuse her or not? Or just molested her? Anyway, it's so sick, poor girl.

  • There is no evidence that they slept together. However what he was doing was inappropriate as he would enter her chambers not properly attired and when she was in bed. He was also said to embarrass her by slapping her on the buttocks which was viewed as highly indecent. Starkey argues that today we would see this as child abuse. Even though Elizabeth was of an age to marry by this period, it was still seen as indecent as Seymour was married and she was not (plus she was his wife's ward).

  • I have always wondered what happened to the Boleyn side of Elizabeths family, i no her mother and uncle george were killed for incest by henry but what about her aunt and her grandfather

  • She was close to her Carey cousins (Mary Boleyn's children). Her grandfather (Thomas Boleyn) died in 1539 and Mary Boleyn had retired in disgrace following her marriage to William Stafford. It is very likely that she never saw Elizabeth after her marriage.

  • when elizabeth came to power she gave her cousins/siblings greater titles

  • her grandfather died a bit after anne got beheaded and her aunt mary lived in the english country side with her new husband and two children.

  • Hi Lucky,Many people share in your curiosity about the other Boelyn's that survived the aftermath of Anne's and George's unfortunate demise.Elizabeth Boleyn thier mother died long after Anne's execution alone.Sir Thomas Boleyn died a little more than a year after Anne and George of heart failure.Mary Boleyn died 8 years after Anne and George of an illness proceeding child birth.Hope this helps.

  • Ew ew ew Thomas Seymour is disgusting! Poor Elizabeth!

  • Well she was about 14 and rather confused by the situation (hence the fact that at times she liked his attentions but other times she became scared particularly when he entered her room half dressed -- and she would protest on such occasions). This confusion is understandable; after all she was a young teenager who one hand liked the idea that an older man would find her attractive, but when he acted on this she became frightened and outraged.

  • yeah that is true

  • The fact that Catherine Parr was involved probably fixed it in her mind that it was a game, and so she wouldn't be scared. Though, holding her while your stepfather cuts your dress to ribbions is abusive in itself.

    Makes me think that Catherine Parr was the stepmother from hell.

    But the fact she didn't protest, who would she protest to? Seymour was the King's uncle, and Parr was until she was re married the dowedger queen. Both would have been belived before Elizabeth.

  • what would you say to a rape victim?

  • Catherine Parr's face at 04:49 is priceless. I really hope she wasn't that dense in real life.

  • yeah lol!

  • Catherine Parr's face at 04:49 is priceless. I really hope she wasn't that dense in real life.

  • The girl playing Elizabeth is so definitely not 14!

  • i no!! she look about 10!!!!
