      Right!? Her dad caused her so much pain and trauma by literally killing her mom and then Thomas Seymour sexually assaulted her...and it seems like nobody was there to protect her. She was right and smart for 'marrying' England instead of a king.

    Watched the Tudors, and I realize that it is Hollywood, but the way he was portrayed I couldn't stand him. He, his wife, and his brother. It is amazing how what actually happened, is so different in Hollywood. Ratings? What is so difficult about showing what actually happened? Often wondered if modern technology we have now were available back then, and say they do an historical account of King Henry that was incorrect and if Elizabeth was queen, would she order a severe punishment? :) thank you for giving a truthful account

    You have a strange inflection when you speak.

    It's as if you're asking a question but you aren't.
    There are other channels who do this & they catch hell for it.
    My thing is if you talk like this then you get cut a little slack that you read this way...
    But you WEREN'T taught to read this way so you don't get any slack & you WEREN'T taught to talk that way, so I lied when I said you get some slack.
    Bro you have an interesting English voice & accent. I can't subscribe to this channel with this inflection. I want to. The subject is great & your accent is great.
    My girlfriend starts to mock this inflection type when we talk to one another. She starts to do the end of the sentence rise in inflection. Then I start doing it... Then all we both end up hearing is the musical inflection & not the words you're saying.
    Bro you've got a good voice & accent that people seem to like. Stop the inflection.
