Mary I at Kentwell

Clip from Channel 4's "Royal Deaths and Diseases" series that tells the story of Mary Tudor's phantom pregnancy.

Filmed at Hampton Court Palace, the Clopton Chapel at Long Melford Chuuch and at Kentwell Hall, with Kentwell participants portraying historical characters.

Note the anachronistic Union Flag over Hampton Court!

Thank you very for posting this! I feel for Mary I-her father treated her horribly and it coloured her views in later life. Who knows what might have been had she been treated with kindness.

A phantom pregnancy is when a woman's body gives all the signs of a pregnancy e.g. periods stop, breast produce milk etc. but there is no baby. It is generally believed that if you are really desperate for a baby, your mind and body will trick you into believing you are really pregnant

mary tudor became a monster..and i dont think her mother would have approved of her horrible acts...granted she was probably made that way because of her childhood. doesnt excuse her wicked acts.

I don't believe that I mentioned here anything about hell. That said, if anyone is in hell, certainly Katherine is the least deserving of hell.

Why would Katherine not inherit the Kingdom of God? By all historical accounts she was kind and generous to her subjects, pious in her personal life and a faithful wife.

What's a phantom pregnancy? I agree with Audie and Rayarena. Mary WAS a nice person before Anne came. I also adore her sister.
