Elizabeth Tudor recalls Katherine Howard

[ElizabethR] With Anne Boleyn & Katherine Howard both beheaded at their husband's command, Elizabeth fears that the same fate might befall on her if she were to marry... Genetic curse, perhaps?

Is it historically correct that Elizabeth spent time with Katherine Howard? I thought she was only close to her father again after his wedding to Catherine Parr.

[GeneLovesClassic1980]

@Vega01 Yes, she did. It was her death that made a deep impact on Elizabeth's views on marriage. There was an incident when she was 12yrs old, and she said something to her father that made him so angry that she was banished from his presence. It was Catherine Parr who reconciled them.

@GeneLovesClassic1980

I wonder what she said to her father to make him so angry? Henry has the worst of tempers, and she would most likely be justified inw hatever she said, even if it was on the lines of....henry: I love Katherine Elizabeth: You used to love my mother. So tell me, how long will THIS one last? ..........or something like that.

@Lariel172 There are some speculations... you can try reading The Lady Elizabeth (2008), a historical fiction written by Alison Weir. This author also wrote biographies on British royalty..

I forgot to ask this & I should have asked earlier & please forgive me for that. Now I would like to know the name of this series or wasn't a movie I'm not too sure to be honest with you if anybody knows could they please be kind enough to post it thank you.

[GeneLovesClassic1980]

@deloufu The show is Elizabeth R, a 6 episode BBC television drama serial (1971)

I can't blame her for not wanting to marry. Look at all she witnessed.

I love Elizabeth!

[ItsMoriashkiBitches]

who is that man?

[kendahke]

@shaybean54 Robert Hardy... he's done a lot of these period movies, as well as Harry Potter. I even saw him recently fronting a doc on haunted castles in GB.

[kendahke]

@Messylin actually, this series followed the movie "Mary Queen of Scots" with Vanessa Redgrave as Mary and Glenda as Elizabeth.

I can't believe Elizabeth only learned of the dangers of being married when Katherine Howard was executed. She knew what happened to Katherine of Aragon when she failed to provide an heir for Henry. She knew her own mother Anne Boleyn was executed. She saw Anne of Cleves cast aside. She saw Catherine Parr in grave danger. No way Elizabeth was ever going to get married!

[JessicaLouiseMusic]

I just thought. Elizabeth's aunt was her stepmother! (Katherine Howard and Anne Boleyn were cousins) Now that's just weird and wrong. But I do love Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard. KH is my FAVE queen.

Elizabeth was hardly a feminist icon. Historians attribute the successes of her reign to the capable men whom she surrounded herself with, and whenever she went out to make decisions on her own (such as debasing the currency, continuing the feud with Spain following the Armada, sending the Earl of Essex to crush the Irish rebellion), they resulted in disaster. She also supported the rule of an all male celibate clergy.

Only a man who could have kept his balls where they belonged and was kind,smart,loving, and true was worthy of the hand of Queen Elizabeth 1rst.

Catherine Howard was also Elizabeth's Cousin since she was first cousin to Anne Boleyn because Her Mother, Elizabeth's Howard was Catherine's aunt
