One of the things that goes largely unstated in people's praise of Starkey's documentaries is the music. It's wonderful and captures the mood of the subject and the times perfectly.
She could be compassionate, cunning, tolerant & ruthless in equal measure - and had the political wisdom to see which course was required. "Power is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger" - Mario Puzo
The way Professor Starkey presents history is very much as my history teacher did it (I count myself very lucky to have had him for a teacher). He explains people's characters and their motivations, and also explains the prevailing social, religious and politicial attitudes of the time. Professor Starkey really brings these historical characters to life again, and it really helps us to understand the reasons why they did what they did. Instead of just reciting dry facts such as dates and events, Professor Starkey shows what the historical characters would have experienced, how they reacted to events, and how and why the public viewed them as they did. It makes it so much more interesting and so much easier to understand! Poor Mary, Queen of Scots! She had such an unhappy life.
He sounds like the late Dr. David W, Bishop who was one of my History Professors at NCCU many years ago. A sharp dresser, and an excellent educator, and quietly let you know about corrections that you needed to do with any work that you handed to him earlier. Loved his wife and they were married for many years.
@@chrisbanks6659 I didn't like her writing. She gave ridiculous dialogue to the characters they would never have spoken. I read a few pages of one of her much promoted books and was bored to tears. The dialogue was full of trivia. Cromwell and Anne Boleyn didn't have time for trivia. They had sharp sparkling wits but we never saw any of that in Mantels books.
David Starkey is a fantastic historian! I love his way of explaining things. Makes history so interesting! And I love English history. Whoever is playing Queen Elizabeth I is doing a stellar job! Love her wardrobe too!
Great video. She's one of my favorite historical figures, and just about a month and a half ago I was in England for the first time and was able to visit Westminster Abbey. The entire place was jaw-dropping, but the room where Elizabeth I's resting place is really took the cake. Most incredible room in the place.
I am English and I find Elizabeth very interesting still. Up and down the UK there is plenty of history to been seem. I travel all over looking. Of to see Mary queen of Scotland tomorrow . Out of interest where are you from.
I know ! I stayed there so long all the other tourists probably thought I was a descendant! It was amazing to see her tomb and then to go to Hampton Court on a wet cold rainy day and wander about and try to imagine coming around the corner and meeting His Majesty King Henry VIII or Anne Boleyn!
I have watched this series many times. Elizabeth I is one of my favorite historical characters. I wish she reunited with her soulmate Robert Dudley in heaven. She deserved a great love, after she had sacrificed her all as Queen of England.
One of my ultra favorite historical figures She was smart, cunning and ruthless when needed to be She was extremely well educated and was fluent in foreign languages etc
How ironic, the unwanted "useless daughter " became one of the greatest leaders of England. What a hard choice she had, England or follow her heart. Can't believe they tried to get her to marry her dead sister's husband😮
@@lisamgreenleaf I learned this last year. 2 weeks ago, I discovered that my 2009 Woody was plotting against his only friends me and Woody.EXE to retake the throne from us. Woody.EXE has made the most difficult decision to have Come and See’s Flyora in the succession to the throne recently. He’s an absolute legend
You only think that because you're a 21st-century snowflake rather than a fully-developed human being. Until about a hundred years ago civilization did not produce anxious, fragile, and easily daunted people, so don't insult humanity by projecting the entirely artificial stunted psyche with which you are familiar onto the sturdy, indeed, redoubtable souls of centuries past.
Elizabeth appears to have been wise before her years to the politics of her day. By avoiding producing an heir, as well as getting caught up in a queenship-emperiling scandal, she could not readily be driven from power by court intriguers.
Exactly! She learned from Mary Queen of Scots and her disastrous marriages. She knew that once she married, whether she did anything wrong or not, scandals could arise and everything her husband did would reflect on her and she wasn't having it. She also knew that she could be overthrown and/or forced to abdicate for her baby son if she'd had an heir.
I love Elizabeth I, no wonder why Woody.EXE is just like her and I’m honoured to be his Queen becoming very loved. We’ve only reigned for 19 months and we’re never stepping down unless absolutely necessary
I hope you guys will pre order a copy of 'Elizabeth: the forgotten years', because it tells of a different side of her that was peculiar and it is said to be a very good book with good storytelling.
If anyone's seen the series "The Virgin Queen" starring Anne-Marie Duff, Tom Hardy plays Dudley. It's hard to imagine the same guy playing Bane in the Batman movies, but there you are. Duff brought something more of an edge to some of the same authentic quotations they use in this documentary. Perhaps her performance was more "emotionally" true to life, even if some of the events were slightly fictionalized.
Lytrigian Yeah, I've seen it. It's so funny that Tom Hardy also played Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, as Heathcliff is also a "dark gypsy" like Dudley. Is Hardy dark-skinned by British standards? Hehe.
All Mary Queen of Scots had to do was pledge public loyalty to her cousin Elizabeth and play that however she wanted and she would have kept her head. Mary Scots believed in her invulnerability here ??? She was smarter better faster than Elizabeth ??? Who took who’s head here ??? YOU GO LIZ.
The lady descended from William Cecil looks so much like him in her facial features, that it's amazing. Almost like looking at someone straight from history, though she's female. So strange how after hundreds of years, we still retain facial features from our ancestors. And to think, she's a descendant of Elizabeth I's most trusted advisor and friend, who once knew her in the flesh. Things like that, always amaze me for some reason.
In my personal OPINION, Henry VIII would've been proud of his daughter. Never before had an English monarch performed with such finesse and composure. I agree that her punishment to the northern rebels was extreme and horrifying compared to todays moral standards but think about how ridiculous it is to align todays society next to that which existed 5 centuries ago and say "fucking evil barbaric cunts!". There were just as many psychopaths in the 16th century as there is today in 2017 it's just societies morals were different. Although Elizabeth did push the northern families to revolt she dealt with the consequences and had to act extremely. A weak king or queen could mean chaos (Henry VI) for the country and ironically could be more dangerous to the people than a harsh and stern monarch (Edward I). She had the guts, balls and fire of her father but had compassion and tolerance like no other ruler at the time. A true example of Queenship/Kingship to the rest of Europe.
Agreed. Rebellion must be dealt with in order to keep peace within any realm. A weak response would not have been a successful one. Elizabeth ruled over a terribly stricken land....religious fighting was a serious issue all over Europe, with massacres becoming commonplace. Elizabeth was probably among the most reasonable ruler of the day (at least as far as religious tolerance went). Imagine being in her position !! The leader of the catholic church was pushing for her death, encouraging secret fanatics to murder her ! SHE wanted to be fair to all, but any one of them might be fervently believing that paradise awaited them should they murder her !
Easy said! Hundreds of peasants were killed, peasants who were loyal to there Northern Lords. Men, women and children had been hanged! The Lords themselves were spared and there property had been confiscated. Do you really believe this was fair ? I don 't think so!
I get why Elizabeth had no interest in Phillip. The whole debacle with her sister Mary started when daddy decided that marrying his brother’s widow was bad
This production and Starkey's eloquence and erudiction is astonishing. I have only one complaint: Elizabeth's nearest male relative was Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, her first cousin and son of Mary Boleyn. The duke of Norfolk was only his second cousin once removed: his paternal grandfather had been Anne Boleyn's uncle. But in every aspect is very accurate. The actress that portrates Mary, Queen of Scots , is spot on.
look what marriage had gotten her mother but then again her mother married a King Elizabeth was the one in charge also she loved Dudley I believe however she had vowed herself married to her country and she could not go against those vows
As an Anglo/Irish RC. I can see that the RC church's policies prior to the Protestant revolution were complacent & arrogant; They should have listened to Martin Luther & so doing kept him within the original branch of the Christian faith. Queen Mary's 'blindness' lead to vengeance that still exists today.
As a Queen myself, my illness caused me so much stress that I’m always upset in public although I reign with dignity to my people. Woody.EXE knew I would be a great Queen for him and I survived the illness crisis in 2023. Woody.EXE is now deeply affected by my illness trauma last year and he now reigns in dignity bless him. He’s been through so much
Around that time, I believe it was during Henry VII' reign, before this Norfolk and the next Norfolk) were all executed (could have been editing the Nov. 4th gunpowder plot during James I was king.
Whoa and she was head of the church too like her daddy 😁 no wonder she didn't want to share her throne with anyone. She had alot under her crown & she showed them all what one can do ♥
+Rebecca Greenwood the reason you'd ride a mule, is simply because it's a steadier and far more comfortable mount, less likely to make bob up and down the rider (so being easier on the limbs and back). it's also easier to get on and off, since a mule is often shorter than a horse. And no, it's not a matter of superstition....seriously people then didn't do everything over superstition...
+Albukhshi You've made some interesting points. Nice to hear kind words said about mules. Too few people realize what wonderful creatures they really are.

Sue Harvey she was definitely prone to hysteria, definitely the type of bird who needed a good slap every now and then. She got used and abused like a fuckin who're up in Scotland the dumb bitch.
Mary was known for having a fiery personality but was also said to be quite a charming young lady. She had a very sheltered upbringing- being raised in the luxury of the French court as a pampered princess, and often prioritised her own personal desires over matters of state.
What BS is this about "being the same as Henry to the North"? Elizabeth did not care if they were Catholics. As was said in the earlier part of this video segment, she only asked that they be loyal subjects to the crown. When people in the North decided to rebel against the crown/her, she killed them for that. Because they were ACTIVELY disloyal, and wanting to kill her (part of Mary of Scotland's being Queen, would mean that Elizabeth would have to be killed) And to my mind, rightly so. So no the same as some petty Henry VIII BS about his latest marriage/property, or indeed fervent Mary I killing people based on their religious beliefs. It was self-defense.
+WedgeOfSpite Interesting, well presented comment. I've always had a problem with so much history of violence in the name of religion through the ages and still occurring today. I agree that Elizabeth I ordered these executions as self-defense (they certainly would've killed her, given the chance) as opposed to strong religious motives. She had made it clear that her subjects were free to worship as they preferred. Whatever else can be said about Elizabeth, she certainly was shrewd and had learned, out of necessity, how to outmaneuver her enemies.
Exactly, it is hardly tyrannical to quash a violent rebellion. She appeared devoutly secularist throughout her reign, only resorting to violence when on the defensive. Also essentially abolishing her family's famous, brutal execution methods for high treason. She took great interest in intellectual pursuits from an early age and probably thought theology was a matter for universities, not something to provoke war.
@@AmyWebster-u6l Me too, I have aged physically since my 2023 illness but Woody.EXE has made me a great Queen. Woody.EXE has also let Come and See’s Flyora in the line of succession to the British throne in Wales. He’s just amazing
according to which calendar? there were two in use at the time and they were about 5 weeks apart one took into account leap days and one did not.... also one considered January 1 new years and the other March 25th as the first day of a new year... thus you will see many dates of events at this time with some confusion as to the year in which the event occured
I always wonder what these historical figures really looked like because the portraits of them were obviously flattering and if I’m not mistaken this is the queen renowned for her bad teeth 🦷
A bit crass but have you ever treated yourself to a bit of *Drunk History*..?? A playful little show. With avant-garde, yet accurate tails on history. Not just unique in it's medium, but the acute knowledge of these rare tales. Enjoy, if you will.
In the movie Warrior Queen , Queen Elizabeth is played by Cate Blanchett, a memorable performance . Ms Slaughter' portrayal is equally good. They each capture the essence of a complex but also a human being. 🎉🎉🎉
Similar to Queen Hapshut of Egypt, I suppose. However, the two ladies were not alike and the Ancient Egyptian women had power equal to men in many cases.
Elizabeth actually dodged a bullet with Charles lx cuz her mother in law would have been Catherine de Medici and she was and still is, quite controversial
Elizabeth was more intelligent and strong willed than Mary. I believe she would have handled herself well. She was very smart and ruthless when she had to be.
Love this documentary the narrator is very good and the actress playing Elizabeth is beautiful projects a regal air
One of the things that goes largely unstated in people's praise of Starkey's documentaries is the music. It's wonderful and captures the mood of the subject and the times perfectly.
I agree! Andy Price has done a splendid job.

This was mostly filmed at Haddon Hall Bakewell Derbyshire , if not been I highly recommend . I have watched this many times , fantastic

Full of concrete knowledge! Elizabeth 1, was best monarch England has seen. She was very intelligent woman who unified the United Kingdom.
What a remarkable woman!
The current Duke of Northumberland bears a marked facial resemblance to his ancestor, Thomas Percy, of 500 years ago! This is remarkable.
There is facial resemblance in the Percy family that goes back several hundred years. Look at the portrait of the fourth or third Duke.
And then the present one.

It's my honest belief that William Cecil killed Amy, Lady Dudley. It got rid of Robert - at least temporarily - and that's exactly what he wanted.

the reason you'd ride a mule, is simply because it's a steadier and far more comfortable mount, less likely to make bob up and down the rider (so being easier on the limbs and back). it's also easier to get on and off, since a mule is often shorter than a horse.
And no, it's not a matter of superstition....seriously people then didn't do everything over superstition...

She took great interest in intellectual pursuits from an early age and probably thought theology was a matter for universities, not something to provoke war.
WedgeOfSpite good call
I know my son.
How can you forget Ireland?
Imogen slaughter nails Elizabeth
Where is episode three?

Good call of her turning down Erik XIV
of Sweden, when considering that he
was a complete looney .
Are the people playing in the background an actual series?? If so what is the series called?
Don't know when this series was made, but as the time stamp says in 2014 - David has aged a lot in the last 10 years.
I hope he is well.

Me too, I have aged physically since my 2023 illness but Woody.EXE has made me a great Queen. Woody.EXE has also let Come and See’s Flyora in the line of succession to the British throne in Wales. He’s just amazing
2000, 24 years ago.
thank you family ancestry
This is how you teach history! (screw you Arnold Toynbee!).
James VI of Scotland was born on June 19, not August 19
38:00 young prince keeps one eye on his Scotland and the other on England with his lazy right eye
according to which calendar? there were two in use at the time and they were about 5 weeks apart one took into account leap days and one did not.... also one considered January 1 new years and the other March 25th as the first day of a new year... thus you will see many dates of events at this time with some confusion as to the year in which the event occured
So.. Liz played footsy with Dudley 🤣
I always wonder what these historical figures really looked like because the portraits of them were obviously flattering and if I’m not mistaken this is the queen renowned for her bad teeth 🦷
A bit crass but have you ever treated yourself to a bit of *Drunk History*..??
A playful little show. With avant-garde, yet accurate tails on history. Not just unique in it's medium, but the acute knowledge of these rare tales.
Enjoy, if you will.
Drunk history rocks.
In the movie Warrior Queen , Queen Elizabeth is played by Cate Blanchett, a memorable performance . Ms Slaughter' portrayal is equally good. They each capture the essence of a complex but also a human being. 🎉🎉🎉
33:22 - 34:11. DAMN!
Nobody does it like David, when I hear yanks try, I'm off.
I sometimes wonder what would our world be like without religions
Insouciant Me Or organized religion ? In the name of God, I think not.
Haha my son
Check out Stalin's Soviet Union OR Pol Pot's Cambodia
A better place 😂😂😅
@@caitlinrimmer43 Soviet Union, China, Nazi Germany, Cuba, perfect examples of countries without religion and faith.
Seems a Queen without a heart
Similar to Queen Hapshut of Egypt, I suppose. However, the two ladies were not alike and the Ancient Egyptian women had power equal to men in many cases.
Dr Starkey! 111111111111111111111111im surprised
I think the actress is Cate blanchett.thanks.
Elizabeth actually dodged a bullet with Charles lx cuz her mother in law would have been Catherine de Medici and she was and still is, quite controversial
Elizabeth was more intelligent and strong willed than Mary. I believe she would have handled herself well. She was very smart and ruthless when she had to be.
Um diamante e riscado pro outro diamante
My goal in life is to become a "Royal Hermaphrodite"
The best actress is glenda Jackson who played Elizabeth 1er
