  1. Hello. Another reasonably substantial video for the first true Queen Of England. Although I expect the next video to, also, take a substantial amount of time to complete, I do hope that I will be able to get back to uploading quicker than I have been in the last few videos. Lots of information to choose from and digest with the Tudors. Also, I did make an error in this video. Check the video description for an explanation of this error. I hope you are all well, and thank you for your interest in the video. Cheers.

  2. I watched all of your productions, and frankly it's really exciting, and very, very well done. You have done a remarkable job of research and writing, it's great! I am a French journalist specialising in history and heritage, and I have to say that I admire your achievements. Bravo !

  3. Poor Mary. I can never think about her without becoming annoyed with her nickname….Bloody Mary. So unfair that she is regarded in such a one-dimensional way. She did not deserve the name any more than other monarchs. I have heard people say that she killed so many people in such a short period, ergo she was bloodier than most. Not even CLOSE to the truth. Sure, her dad ruled longer, but he executed an estimated 2000/year (!), and by barbaric, psychopathic methods !! In comparison, Mary was a sweetie pie. Obviously, burning was a painful, protracted method of execution, but hanging someone in chains meant that their death might take DAYS !! Hanging-drawing-and-quartering was purposefully torturous. Henry was a monster, but he is not known as "Fat Bastard", but as "Good King Hal" (at least in his time).

  4. Love your videos mate, really looking forward to the next one! I’m a huge Tudor enthusiast and find this era by far the most fascinating period. I find your delivery of the material really engaging and think the music really compliments your material. I often listen to them on the train and walk to work! Keep it up!

  5. Mary certainly wasn't simple. She took the throne from lady Jane grey. She has the intelligence not to execute Elizabeth. Her half sister who was known as the greatest Queen of England. Their father was not a man of the future.

  6. Why TF is Mary 1 'Bloody Mary' when she actually slaughtered thousands less than nearly every other previous English monarch?Sure,burning at the stake is an agonising way to die,but Mary only killed 300 odd in this way.I'm no great fan of her or any other fanatic,but I really don't believe she should be labelled as 'bloody' as her killings were minimal

  8. Mary hated Anne and Henry by the time he met Ane had totally cut Mary off from her mother nothing easy about it also he had affairs before but Anne refused to be just another mistress she wanted commitment I cannot blame her this video while good does not go into that enough if Anne did dislike Mary it was surely due to Henry pitting them against each other

  9. Mary's portraits all convey a scornful countenance, one of wickedness and evil. That she authorised the burning of 300 Protestants on the stake shows her to be aptly designated as THE BLOODY MARY. No compassion. A heart of darkness. A tyrannical Roman Catholic sycophant whose demise allowed for the greatest queen, Queen Elizabeth I, to make England strong and to prosper as no other nation.
