Historian Simon Schama examines the relationship between Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots and the developments that led to the union of the English and Scottish crowns in 1603. Throughout Schama attempts to be balanced in his analysis of both queens although provides interesting criticisms regarding Elizabeth I's character and actions.

  • @72Yonatan Well, England typically wanted to rule of Britain. They just got stopped enough times to say, forget the Scottish bits. Scotland actually got the benefit of being able to fully participate in the English empire through union with England.

    By the by, Scotland had grumbled about leaving the United Kingdom a few times due to England declaring people to be sovereign of Scotland as well as England.

  • @MusidoraKeller Yes if people cared to open their eyes a bit they will see a whole lot.

  • @calihartley2010 you are so right that we are God's worst creatures....it's nice to see that there are people that are not living in a fairy tale.....

  • Part 6 was the best. My favourite part was about the dog. That shows that dogs are more faithful than humans and deserve to be called Man's best friend. Althought I think humans are the worst of God's creatures.

  • @1st503rdSGT I agree with you and as a Catholic.

  • @sunshinemags

    Occupying the world is a family run business.

    Are you surprised? Are you impressed? I'm not.

  • @frickadele

    Right after that bullshit speech...

    they had famine and food riots.

    Want to bet that Liz didn't lose any weight during that time?

    Funny...how the Irish were spoken as savages there.

    And were also considered savages in NYC.

    When someone calls you an asshole...then maybe you are!!!

  • Queen Elizabeth had 2000 bodyguards...

    and people were/and are impressed that she was there to give a speech?

    Make me laugh!!!!!! Make me fucking laugh.

  • Thank you, LittleMissSunnyDale!

    

  • Do you know why Queen Elizabeth did not bare children?

    No, not because she was a virgin.

    It was contraception. Protestant-sanctioned birth control. :D
