@peacedesertrose Generally when making historical dramas they only want to write them about well documented figures - it makes it easier to write and means they don't have to make content up - as great as the Tudors is its focus is more on entertaining an audience than being historically accurate. Henry VIII was the safer bet - there's much more source material and interest. Though now you mention it I would love a series about Henry VII, his son Arthur Tudor and the war of the roses.

@MedievalEnglish You're right, but I do think it would be wrong that if they did conclude The Tudor's.. to start with Elizabeth becoming Queen. As it is called The Tudor's after all so surely you would include all the monarchs. Having said that why didn't they start with Henry VII? But I guess they go for what she more entertaining and important to history.

@peacedesertrose I don't believe they are as important. The reason Elizabeth has had so much attention is because of the importance of her reign, it's simply as a whole more entertaining and more significant. Edward was often ill and unfit to rule, Jane's rule was so short it's rarely mentioned & Mary was hated by most of England and reigned only 5 years - almost every series or movie around Elizabeth features Mary anyway. All 3 monarchs had the throne for a comparatively short amount of time.
-
@MedievalEnglish Yes, but your comment made it sound as if lets leave out Edward and Mary and even Lady Jane Grey because there not as important.. and cut straight to Elizabeth. Elizabeth has had quite a few films/television series about her.. why can't they focus on Edward and Mary for a change. Thats one of the things I liked about the Tudors, for once Mary was in the spotlight and focused on most out of the children.
-
@peacedesertrose Even I must know that? I'm well aware of Edward and Mary, and also Lady Jane Grey.
From a pure production point of view, Elizabeth would be a better focus, then the producers wouldn't have to change the main character 3 times in a short span. Elizabeth's reign is much more well known and she still is one of the most admired and popular people in English history, even more than her father. Perhaps the events prior to her coronation could be summarised in an episode or 2.

I miss this show! Loved Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, Catherine Of Aragon and of course Cromwell :)
-
@MedievalEnglish Well Edward and Mary come before Elizabeth.. even you must know that.

This girl from this show my little sister watches would have been perfect for Catherine Howard, though maybe a little young. I looked her up, her name is Brigit Mendler I think that is how u spell it.

@marsflamesniper They sure made "Bloody Mary" a likable character in this show. I loved Bolger's performance and wow, what a beauty.
The real Lady Mary was a mass murdering psychopath.
This theme will always send shivers down my spine.
