I’ve always felt the Duke of Norfolk to be a half-cursed title when you look at how many of them met sticky ends. And don’t mess with our emotions like that, Mrs. Ridgway!! 😭😭 I’d adore it if you kept this up after the new year, and I know I’m not alone in that feeling! I have a certain Pavlovian response when it comes to your videos now! I went from not knowing about the channel to it being as close to appointment television as anything these days, and that just doesn’t happen often. Keep up the wonderful work!
An interesting man who made one too many mistakes. It would be a dream come true if you continued these daily videos past 2019!! I really enjoy scheduling some ‘me time’ each day and learning about Tudor history!! Thanks again for another awesome video ❤️
Claire, if it helps, I've found that covering paperbacks with clear contact paper will help preserve the covers and the pages without hiding them. I don't know if schoolchildren in your part of the world cover their textbooks with newspaper or paper bags (when I was in school in the 1980s and 90s in the USA we did that); it's a similar concept. Even if the cover is bent or wrinkled, the contact paper smooths it out wonderfully, and if the corners of the pages are curled that will help straighten them out. I learned that trick when I worked at the school library's Book Repair Division at Eastern New Mexico University in 1994, and since then I do it to all my favorite books (hardcover as well as paperpack) because it extends their life by decades.
Yes, a great idea to cover the books the way you describe Wendy. 📚 👍 I've always done that too, and always helped my son to cover his school Text books that way. Also when he was in university he covered his books, as they were so very expensive.
He was a very interesting man, considered the father of English heraldry and genealogy. He was genuinely fond of his wives and seems to have been very depressed after their deaths. He was one of those commissioners appointed to investigate Mary Stuart's involvement in her husband's death and was very shocked at the evidence he found. There's an excellent biography of Thomas by Neville Williams called A Tudor Tragedy. It's the only work on his life as far as I know.
A very interesting video for today! I get my Thomas Howard Dukes of Norfolk confused! Thanks Claire! Watching them again this year Tudor Society and Claire!
"Lots of Thomas Howards" Ha! That is an understatement. I have a heck of a time keeping them all straight. I look them up, constantly. I am finally starting to get a grasp on which ones were which during which time frames.
Left out an interesting trivia item - Elizabeth I visited the tower the night before his execution to make sure that all was prepared, possibly because this was the first tower execution in her reign.
I know alot of people view your videos claire but i wish people would click the like button too because i think your videos are great i have learned so much this year about the tudors and history. This year has been very hard for me because i have been recovering from stage 4 bowl cancer but once am recovered i will be booking the ann boleyn experience with my husband so this is giveing me something to look forward too. I know it might sound strange to some but these videos has give me something to look forward to each day through my illness. i am cancer free now its just all the treat ment chemo and radiotherapy that am recovering from . So big thank you claire for all the videos you post each day. And please to everyone else dont forget to push the like button 😁👑❤❤❤
Executions of the nobility was have been a lively business. No matter how high a person’s office or well connected they were to the monarchy, the could in a brief time fall out of favor and lose their life. Better to be a commoner living on a farm far from the center of power.
the long speech reminds me of how in les misérables victor hugo writes something like "i will not go into detail" and then proceeds to go into detail for 50 pages
The idea was that the executioner would be more careful of his paying clients.....but it does sound ridiculous. I guess that if you pay for it yourself, your king/accuser/condemner would be "less responsible" for your death.
The Norfolk family seemed end up on the block alot of the time . He was very active with the Ladies by the sounds of it and very foolish putting pen to paper there seemed to be always someone to tell tales in those days thank you as always Claire xx
He wasn't particularly active with ladies. He seems to have liked being married and grieved when his wives died. He was also a loving and involved father.
Love all things Tudor. I like the series I can't wait to the 9th of June to see what happens on that day that is my birthday... I always like to know what happened on my birthday in history
If you ask me I think Ann got what she deserved for What happened to Katherine and not being able to see Mary or Mary seeing her mother ..I do believe that Mary would have been a better Queen had it not been for ann and the marriage to her father.
The chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula in the tower seems to almost becomea family plot for the Boleyns and the Howards so many of them was beheaded and buried there.
Patricia House The temptation of becoming a the King of Scotland (and possibly of England, poor idiot) was too much. Even though he'd previously indicated belief in Mary's guilt.
A very interesting video for today. It would seem this Thomas Howard wasn't too bright when it came to his political dealings. All those marriages and all those children!
One of my ancestors is Hugh de Audley. 1st Earl of Gloucester. His daughter Margaret married another ancestor Sir Ralph Stafford 1st Earl of Bannerett. Quite a bit before the Tudors though
Queen Elizabeth seemed to realize the heavy burden of having someone executed. In more than one she had delayed and wrestled with going forward on the executions. Henry on the other hand, I would like to think he really examined going forward with many executions, it seems he didn’t in his later years.
Ive been researching my genealogy and discovered Thomas Howard is my 13th great grandfather. This is so interesting, I'm going to watch all of your videos.
Hello. Thomas Howard 3rd duke of Norfolk is my great great Uncle. His brother. Lord Edmund Howard is my 14 th great great grandfather. So Thomas the 4 th is a great great cousin of mine
🇭🇲🦘 (viewed 29/5/2021) Very interesting learning about 'this' Thomas Howard's life, service and then unfortunate death. I doubt he deserved such an end. I learnt a lot. Then again, always do. Great video! "Thank you" Claire 👑👍
Second cousin to Elizabeth. Got too big for his britches, it sounds like. Good looking man (great legs) with red hair. He was just not high in the brains department. Another stupid man who thought he could manage the queen. Thank you for this great upload today, Claire. I look forward to your narratives.
In searching my family history, I found that Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, is my 13th Great Grandfather! His daughter,Lady Margaret Ann Howard is my 12th Great Grandmother. I avoid politics at all costs!🤔
I'm descended from a Stuart, but I have never understood why anyone in England would believe that Mary would be a better queen than Elizabeth. Mary couldn't keep her throne in Scotland so why would she do better in England?
I am inside , trying to escape the smoke from the enormous Canadian fires coming down from the North of us. Enjoyed the journey into history. Did Norfolk have a better claim than Henry?
Jeanne Bowes haven't heard about the fires. We don't do the TV thing. I hope all is well for all in Canada. I remember well the unease of having fires close. Two years ago Tx went through that. Think it was two years ago but could have been longer. I pray the fire doesn't last long and all are safe. Blessings.
@@joenperkins2138 Thank you from Canada for the well-wishes. So far, 692,000 acres are burning & 10,000 people have been evacuated. We need all the prayers we can get. Pray for rain, please. Thank you, American neighbours & friends! 😍 🇺🇸 😍
I will pray for sure. So sorry for all that have been evacuated. I never realized Canada had so many fires. It seem often. Praying for lots of soaking rain and safety. Blessings
Sunday smoke is better but the Canadian fires continue. Thank you everyone for the kind words. I will be working in my “Tudor” garden this evening. Some box, roses , and herb are really Elizabethan?
Always amazed at the level of Hubris during this period. Seems like, given the times, people would have been more mindful. Guess not...smh🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Claire--Catherine Howard was the daughter of Edmund Howard and Joyce Culpeper. I found one source that indicated Catherine Howard and Thomas Culpeper were close relations. In that case, wasn't her relationship with him incestuous?
Just looked and Margaret was just 23 when she died! So she was first married at 14 then at 17 and died at 23 after having five babies in just six years holy crap
She smiles & varies her intonation. She's English. They're a bit conservative. What do you want her to do? Jump up & down? Make faces like Luciano Rosso? 🤪
Well judging by today's info from YT the majority by far love these videos! Only this person and one other doesn't like them! I know I enjoy the heck out of these vids each day!! So to each his own, but the grand majority of us will be back today, tomorrow, and the next day as well!!

No one was safe in the Tudor world... I would be as far from court as possible! Thank you as always, Claire!

How wonderful to hear of your recovery! God bless you, my fellow Tudorite, & may your Tudor trip just be a blast! 😆👍
Yes, Queen Mary did a lot of chopping and of course Henry Vlll was always chopping off heads!!
I freaking love these. I more recently discovered your videos, so I have lots to binge on. I love love love Tudor history.
Thank you Claire!
Oh, Claire, I found you on youtube because I have purchased 2 of your amazing books!

Almonte Paolilli Indeed! How the mighty fall. A good time in history to be a very rural resident!
the long speech reminds me of how in les misérables victor hugo writes something like "i will not go into detail" and then proceeds to go into detail for 50 pages
This paying for the execution thing kills me.
The idea was that the executioner would be more careful of his paying clients.....but it does sound ridiculous. I guess that if you pay for it yourself, your king/accuser/condemner would be "less responsible" for your death.
It's how the executioners made their money. The victims would pay them to do the job.
It's basically saying "don't mess this up!!!!"
That act is where we get the term “severance pay” from.
@@MsDharma69 No way!!! Is that true??? Lordy.
The Norfolk family seemed end up on the block alot of the time . He was very active with the Ladies by the sounds of it and very foolish putting pen to paper there seemed to be always someone to tell tales in those days thank you as always Claire xx

Not too smart Thomas....thank you Claire

El King Anne Boleyn was arrested on my birthday....sad business 😢

Who can blame the poor man for wanting to get everything off his chest?
Poor man he was a monster
Definitely recommend visiting Arundel Castle, to see his death warrant and artefacts given to the family by Mary, Queen of Scots. Great video.
❤love your discussion n need to buy ur book. Not sure I can get it here in the US?!
The chapel of St. Peter ad Vincula in the tower seems to almost becomea family plot for the Boleyns and the Howards so many of them was beheaded and buried there.
If I were to be release from the Tower, I would walk the straight and narrow. Why do folks like Thomas and Lady Jane’s father continue to court death?
Patricia House The temptation of becoming a the King of Scotland (and possibly of England, poor idiot) was too much. Even though he'd previously indicated belief in Mary's guilt.
Patricia House Power is very attractive and too often people will desire it without considering the consequences. Human nature.
Was he played by Christopher Eccleston in Elizabeth, the first Cate Blanchett film?

He put two women on the throne.

If this was in the Sonic Underground universe, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk would be alive but roboticized.
It strikes me that a wise man -- or woman -- steered clear of Mary Queen of Scots. She spread trouble wherever she went.
I'm descended from a Stuart, but I have never understood why anyone in England would believe that Mary would be a better queen than Elizabeth. Mary couldn't keep her throne in Scotland so why would she do better in England?

Thank you so much. Blessings on you as well. 🙏
That Howard family. High born, head strong & very, very foolhardy.
But you've got to admit, never a dull moment! 🙄
True.
He wanted them to pray for him ... they were all praying he'd just shut up already and take his capital punishment like a man!
Spookey video when the sound sounds twice.
Sunday smoke is better but the Canadian fires continue. Thank you everyone for the kind words. I will be working in my “Tudor” garden this evening. Some box, roses , and herb are really Elizabethan?
He was my 2nd cousin 13x removed.
May his soul be in Heaven with the Angels above.

They were distant cousins. If you consider sixth cousins, once removed, incest...then yes.
Just looked and Margaret was just 23 when she died! So she was first married at 14 then at 17 and died at 23 after having five babies in just six years holy crap
Mmm and I happen to be related to Thomas howard!! My family just told me this last week
To this Thomas howard to be exact but the weird thing is I don't live in England
A branch of the howards moved to the New World very very early into colonization. They became a weathly southern family
@@SonofIiberty can you drop any links to this information please?
My mum had 6 kids in 10 years.. she could have easily done it in 8 Haha
What a great story. Such terrible audio.
Thumbs down not for the information but for the presenter with absolutely no animation.
Then don't watch. Just buy the book. ;) We enjoy her daily vids....
She smiles & varies her intonation. She's English. They're a bit conservative. What do you want her to do? Jump up & down? Make faces like Luciano Rosso? 🤪
Well, I'm up for anything, but I think it would be weird to be jolly about a man being executed. Thank you for the support, I appreciate it.
The Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society - can’t please um all - I personalizes love listening while I’m about, thank you for sharing with all of us !
Well judging by today's info from YT the majority by far love these videos! Only this person and one other doesn't like them! I know I enjoy the heck out of these vids each day!! So to each his own, but the grand majority of us will be back today, tomorrow, and the next day as well!!
