@@rinnieunchanged It's because Mary spent most of her childhood in France since she was engaged and eventually married the Dauphin of France. Naturally, then, historians believe she acquired a French accent based on her upbringing in France.
@@AlexanderBlumenau It was an Irishman that reported her accent whilst she was at Tutbury, In February 1569 an Irishman named Nicholas White, who worked as an agent of the English crown, met with Mary at Tutbury and reported back to the English minister William Cecil. In his report he observed of Mary that “...she hath...a pretty Scotch accent.”
@Gillie Monger Given that Eleanor here is speaking English, to my American ears it sounded very much like a French accent. . . with a nice Scottish accent.
There was a French movie released in 2013 where Mary is portrayed by a French actress (Camille Rutherford, she is binational). The movie is not great, but at least they got that part right!
Probably because she likely didn't. She moved over to France at age 5 (and 8 months). At that point she'd have a solid scots accent. She then had an entourage that spoke exclusively scots, to ensure she maintained the language. So likely she actually spoke Scots with a scots accent, and French with a french accent. In practice there would be blending of these accents (i.e. a french twang in an otherwise scots accent, and vice versa), but I doubt she actually had a strong french accent as depicted here.
@@plukerpluck I involuntarily pickup any accents i am around after a few days. People think i do this to appease or to force fit myself in but really there is nothing i can do about it. I doubt i am the only one. So, with regards on how the systems were in place at the time and the exposure i guess she was was a bilingual with an incomplete accents in all directions.
It's actually a particularly niche reference to the Maiden, a proto-guillotine introduced to Scotland around this time. The Earl of Morton being responsible is a legend that arose because he was later executed with it, and people love a bit of dramatic irony.
Here I am, an American who doesn’t know the difference between Mary Queen of Scots and Bloody Mary, and I don’t know what these jokes are referencing, but I’m still laughing lol
Dear Eleanor Morton i just discovered your channel today watch 5 videos and i got to admit your my guilty pleasure from now on :) Amazing Acting and really good text.
John knox is the guy who preached to the scots that they were going to lose, because they were acting immoral, DURING A SIEGE. He was many things, boring was not one of them... insane perhaps, but never ever boring.
Wow, this UA-cam channel is educational! I thought, "why is she portraying Mary Queen of Scots with a French accent?!?" Now I know this is accurate! This channel will make me smrt!
In memory of Robert Mac Dougall whom as a Scottish orphan was amongst the first wave of British child convicts transported from the Thames bound for Botany Bay late 1700s, Van Demons Land. As a teenager he escaped and fled into the ardours of the remote Australian Outback, he was believed to have lived amongst the First Nations People whom he loved. His gene pool is said to be spread amongst many tribes whose skin was dark and hair was red, Mac Dougall is Gaelic for "Dark Strangers", his memorial stone with his name inscribed on a bronze plate can be found overlooking Botany Bay. "To his wonderful journey, a good Scottish malt, may they forever live free".
Ok. I have no idea why I’ve watched 25 of your videos. But I have. I’ve come to the conclusion that you’re funny as hell. Your brain is damaged enough where you can make a living at comedy. Keep it up. Thanks for the laughs.
Did she slowly grow on you like she did with me. The first video I watched was okay. The second kinda funny but by the third I am starting to crack up etc!
I hope that is a double joke Lizzie using Mercury in stead of Lead, explains the hair loss (Don't tell Nappy) Lead of course leading to stupidity and genetic defects along with poisoning.
The mercury was in the facial cleanser. Lizzy slathered on lead makeup to cover her smallpox scars and used mercury cleansers to remove the makeup days later. 😬
Lovely touch with the French accent here! Historian approves! :-D
I don't get the French accent
@@rinnieunchanged It's because Mary spent most of her childhood in France since she was engaged and eventually married the Dauphin of France. Naturally, then, historians believe she acquired a French accent based on her upbringing in France.
@@rinnieunchanged She was shipped off to marry the king of France when she was five or so. Spent her formative years there.
Ngl i thought it was a german accent or smth 😭
The problem with that is that the English ambassador described Mary Queen of Scots as possessing a very fetching Scottish accent.
The French accent filled my wee hardened historian heart with great joy.
@Gillie Monger Maybe she had a nice Scottish accent when speaking French and vice versa. ;-)

Oh my god! I never thought I'd live to see the day when someone actually portrayed Mary with a french accent.

@@plukerpluck Her ladies were initially separated from her to make her learn French
The “I don’t think I am using enough Mercury” got me. Ha ha
The seagull bit was my absolute favourite. I want a whole series of Mary.
That's where I subscribed.
The seagull bit made me almost choke on my tea. The whole bit was brilliant but that’s where I lost it.
My fave is "hot single lords in your area!"
If someone can rant for 20 minutes about seagulls being too brightly coloured, I'd definitely want to listen!
Want me to help find such a person 😂😂😀😀. I would consider dong this if money 💰💰💰is involved😂😂
The question is… how?
You underestimate my power
I overestimate my power
Perhaps I can, perhaps I cannot

“I’d like to talk to you about switching brands of homing pigeons, this month if you sign a two year contract we’ll give you ten free pigeons.”
I love that you do the correct french accent! 😂
That expression after seeing it's John Knox.
More Mary and Lizzy banter, please! You’re too good, Eleanor!
The algorithm truly blessed me when it recommended your channel...
“Is she okay” FINALLY A RULER WHO ROASTS
I absolutely love this silly necklace on your head.
And apart from that: You're extremely talented and funny.
Being a Protestant is also my hobby. Glad to see this niche coming through 👍😆
The French accent sends this over to the top for me. BRAVA!!!
"Your skin is so good, what's your secret?"
Well Lizzie, I didn't have the pestilence, for starters!
You pay for the execution machine and they sent you a rock in the mail with a note saying, "chuck this."
*chuckles in Mosaic Law*

I live for the John Knox burns!
Sometimes the UA-cam algorithms just bring me gold! You´re absolutely brilliant, keep up the good work! Best wishes from Finland!
Laughing so hard my family came into my office to see if I was ok!! Subbed and liked.
The initial 👀 roll is great 🤣
The necklace on her head tho 😂
YES WITH THE FRENCH ACCENT THANK YOU SO MUCH
Sorry for screaming, I just...I just have a lot of feelings.
Hahahahahahaha oh theres a whole page of this...😂😂😂
"Seagulls are too brightly colored"... yeah, I wouldn't attend service for that either, lolz!!
Hahahaha, I was hoping it'd be mixed with a French accent, lol, doesn't disappoint
Lol, you have made me chuckle out loud a few times now in your videos, keep it up!
SO GLAD I STUMBLED ONTO YOUR CHANNEL
To save you the time, 90% of comments are people boasting they know Mary had a French accent
Here I am, an American who doesn’t know the difference between Mary Queen of Scots and Bloody Mary, and I don’t know what these jokes are referencing, but I’m still laughing lol
Morton's videos are such a delight.
Gorgeous genius and just the funniest person I know.
My favorite.
Thank you Eleanor for your live performance in Oxford.
Oh my god you did the French accent. You’re just amazing.
You are VERY talented and quite funny. Keep it coming!
FFS - I can't stop watching these vignettes. They are hilarious!!!
wait this isn't a big channel, the youtube algorithm is promoting good stuff now?
Yeah youtube seems to have picked this girl for special treatment this week... I think she had 3.7k subs yesterday
The powers that be are letting us common folk interact with the AI again. "They" fear the basilisk.

I came ready to be disappointed in a Scottish accent. Fortunately, you stayed accurate. 😄
Such a talent !

Not. Enough. Mercury. Bwahahaha.

By late February of 1587, it was clear Mary would never be the head of anything....
I’m learning about this in school it’s so fun!
Statuesque presomptuous x)
That french accent is a great touch.
Glad John Knox got a mention. One of the greatest men of the age.
For legal reasons I need a historical hatemail video about Catherine of Aragon or Queen Mary I. It would be *perfect.*
Your videos help me get through the day. Also love Craig
Love the French accent
My hobbies too, include being protestant.
You crack me up.
You are great. Glad I found you. :)
the ending plsssss im laughin
I'm gonna go subscribe because this is amazing.

I like how you added the French accent :)
Love the attention to detail in the French accent ♥️

Indeed! The Catholic's never bathed

you can cut out the brain damage part.

@@elijahjames8837 Nah you're good pal you can clear off if you like
@@EleanorMortonable ?
Can we have one of Mary I of England?😢
Great at last Marie with the correct accent. Next can we have Victoria with the German accent.
Poor cousin Mary.
Julia Gillard was Australia’s 1st female prime minister, and she lasted the full 3 years between elections.
I thought Lizzie's makeup had too much Lead not Mercury.
I hope that is a double joke
Lizzie using Mercury in stead of Lead, explains the hair loss (Don't tell Nappy)
Lead of course leading to stupidity and genetic defects along with poisoning.
I thought so, too, but it was probably both TBH
You didn't pay attention: it was not enough mercury ;)
(both were used, the joke is on the proportion of harmful ingredience)
I thought Freddie Mercury got into her makeup
The mercury was in the facial cleanser. Lizzy slathered on lead makeup to cover her smallpox scars and used mercury cleansers to remove the makeup days later. 😬
oH mOn DiEU
POV: You're trying to find a comment that's not about the accent
More pleased than ever thanks
Yes, made it look like an accident …. with gun powder….
