Love this lecture. I've always been fascinated with Bess Hardwick and Hardwick Hall, so it was nice to hear her story from someone so well-versed in British History.
I have this in my favourites....it really is the most informative and interesting talk. What an interesting life and formidable woman. Thank you so much.
I found out that I am related to Bess Hardwick, so it is so great to hear all about my family from the past! My dream is to one day walk the halls of Hardwick Hall.
I read the book "The tower and the dream" which is the story of Bess of Hardwick told in story form. She was a remarkable, strong woman in a time where being female meant being obedient and silent. Bess was neither.
Why did the great-grandson tear down the house? Also, it seems that the "bloodline" is hugely improved by the intro of non-aristocratic females. As well as the looks! Just saying🤣
I would challenge the lecturer's assertion that Queen Elizabeth I and Bess of Hardwicke remained "good friends". As for Bess' alleged business accumen, one need only look at her history of hiring legal and commercial advisors - not that she lacked ambitions.
I just had to take a break. This is about the best “lecture “ I’ve ever heard. Fantastic! This lady is amazing.
Great content and beautifully presented thank you for you're time and effort you put into making these great videos
Superb lecture.
A pleasure to hear the language spoken so well.
Great lecture. Yesterday I visited Hardwick Hall and Chatsworth House for the first time. What an incredible woman.

I so loved watching this video. She's both brilliant and so much fun to listen to. There is this thought of sitting together and continue

It is a most interesting house, Hardwick Hall. The gardens are beautiful.

If Elizabeth was not happy she would have taken her and assets at will
I am a descendent of her…
