Marie de Guise Part 3 1
It's here guys! The final installment of this amazingy women's story, I hope you enjoy it. There has been far too little written about Marie, and I am indebted to the excellent biography The Scourge of Henry VIII: The Life of Marie de Guise by Melanie Clegg which I cannot recommend enough for anyone who want to dive deeper into her life. Let me know what yo think of the end of her story in the comments, and until next time!

James V mother was Margaret Tudor, not Mary 💜
Thanks for the comment. You are absolutely correct it is Margaret Tudor. I made an error while filming and didn't catch it in the edit. I write, film, edit and produce these videos completely by myself. I do them because I think it's important to hear about women's stories that are basically unheard of when it comes to Scottish history. I don't make any money from these videos, and film them around my other full time job. Occasionally, there will be mistakes that get made. I welcome the correction, but do take into account that people who make content are on the whole producing things for free, and won't have a BBC editing team behind them. We are all human at the end of the day and mistakes will happen. Have a super day 😊
God bless you Aunt Marie!
You should get the facts and names correct. Margaret Tudor NOT MARY TUDOR. MARY TUDOR MARRIED THE FRENCH KING AND THEN CHARLES BRANDON. NOT MARY QUEEN OF SCOTTS GRANDDAUGHTER.

Please stop saying Mary Tudor was Mary of Scots grandmother. She was not. Margaret Tudor was her grandmother.
Fascinating video! Is there a source or resource I can look into where you got those steps from. I would love to research further.
Hi @andrewsevin330, thanks so much for your comment and sorry for taking so long to reply! I found the details from a number of different sources, I've added a few for you here to peruse! Enjoy nerding out :) www.britannica.com/topic/body-snatching , www.scribd.com/read/400044106/Bodysnatchers-Digging-Up-the-Untold-Stories-of-Britain-s-Resurrection-Men , www.abdn.ac.uk/bodysnatchers/background.php
Very interesting, im looking forward for the second part 🤗
Thank you @maximilian.h - I am just sitting down to finally start editing part 2!
loved your upbeat attitude making these series Hun well done! 😊
Thanks so much @sarahramsel8298!
hello there i thanhk you so kindly for this history lesson. i am re-watching an ols american series called REIGN about young Queen Mary and Dauphin Francois I. i appreciate tales of romance luxury and drama such as this but much more in the historical facts and accounts of royalty. and fortunatiely came upon your channel
@nayaribrightskyofficial I am so glad you enjoyed the video! Part 2 will be coming soon, I've just been too busy to have time to edit it!
This is a really useful lesson because students worry too much about concepts like internal or external obligation.The idea of "consequences" makes it easy to choose the correct modal for obligation. You are a down to earth English teacher!
Thank you so much! I somehow missed this comment, apologies for taking so long to reply!
I was in Edinburgh the end of March and was able to attend one witches tour. If/when I return I will look for your tour. Thank you for making this video, well done!
Thanks Tina! I think I am going to make a wee series of my witches tour, these stories need told! If you do come back please reach out at my website www.theedinburghexperience.com or catch me over on Instagram @edexpefl :)
Do you have anyway of contacting you
Hi you can find me on Instagram at the same handle @edexpefl, or get in touch via my website www.theedinuburghexperience.com
Watching this from Brisbane, spent November 2022 in Edinburgh, most afternoons I would venture out and follow the storylines of Edinburgh’s rich and regrettably torturous herstory of witches from the Well on Castle Hill to Ramsay Lane, The Mound, Grassmarket, Cows Gate to name a few. Amazing stories, great video. I will return to Scotland. With thanks, 💯🏴❤
Thanks so much for your comments! If you ever come back to Edinburgh let me know, I now offer a Witches of Edinburgh tour which goes into a lot more detail :) Please send us some Brisbane sunshine, we desperately need it today!
Hi love the video
Thanks so much!
@@edexpefl Hi can we get in contact somehow as we would love you to do some video work for us
@@magicalchristmas4128 Hi you can find me on Instagram at the same handle @edexpefl, or get in touch via my website www.theedinuburghexperience.com 🙂
You made my day. You need to look into P r o m o s m!!!
Thank you Norbert! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video :) Part 2 of Mary's story is now live!
Lets hope your video will encourage more people to read his poetry. I suspect that if people have heard of Fergusson they have heard of his death in Bedlam and think that his poetry will be somewhat bleak which of course is far from the case. His verse is full of vigour and often humorous. The old Scots language is not a barrier with a good glossary. Thanks for an enjoyable video.
Thank you for your lovely comment Stewart! I certainly hope so. He does seem to be having a bit more of a resurgence with a few documetnaries recently, so fingers crossed he will reach more readers. I think in general though we should be teacing more Scots poets in school than just Rober Burns (as much as I love him!). There is such an incredible amount of poetry waiting to be read!
Brilliant! Many thanks, I have learnt a lot about Halloween traditions. I'm off to start carving my neep!
I've been to Edinburgh numerous times while serving in the U.S. Navy and stationed at an NSA listening post in Edzell . I live in Oregon now and have often thought about selling my house and moving to Edinburgh. Unfortunately, I lack the courage to do this. I really liked your video. Keep doing them. They're interesting and informative.
Thanks Philip! Hopefully you'll get to come and visit again soon 😊 I've been on holiday but more videos will be coming on September!
Excellent! Thank you The Edinburgh Experience.
Wa! What a nice video which deserve more view than that! I love your videos! :D
Thanks so much Donald! There is another one coming very soon, I've been super busy and not had time to edit it yet :)
@@edexpefl Cool! I am waiting for it! I am happy to know more about Scotland as I am very new here haha^^
And here is a link to the song Claire mentions in the lesson! ua-cam.com/video/Gyg5IoEv8oA/v-deo.html
Fantastic video! Thanks!
Edinburgh is such a beautiful city. Great video 👍
This was a lot of information about Edinburgh. I am living here since last 3 years but didn’t knew much of what you told. Thanks for this informative video
Thanks so much! I've only just seen this comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video 😊
