@@garyhill9639 WTF??

Catholics created Muhammad all evidence supports this.

@@Minihopa dude shut up

Mary Mary quite contrary is how that poem about goes taking the piss of her miscarriage

Crazy? No. Vengeful? Yes. Only religious people display such cruelty. She is a disgrace, just like her father.

Sad life for certain. I pity her. What all this turned her into.

Indeed 🥺

Mary earned the hatred of her people.

I do agree with you that it was her own fault but some of the blame can be layed at the door of her upbringing by a staunchly Catholic mother 👩 also named as a bastard by her father plus all of the other stuff. She didn't seem to be able to rise above it. 🥺🔥

@@Monster-ks2yx Mary's death count isn't abnormal even for her short reign. Roughly 300 people were burned during her 4-5 year reign. She personally signed the death warrant of 7 people. The other deaths attributed by her were done by catholic courts. Her half brother had 5,500 killed in his 5 year reign .....she surely did kill people, as did her half-siblings and father.

Yes! I feel ya in that. Theres just something about the reign of the Tudors and that whole era that I just find SOO fascinating. I can't even begin to explain what it is, and it's not just one thing. I just love the Tudor history.

British school kids learn Henry’s queens by this little jingle, “Divorced, beheaded,died. Divorced,beheaded survived.” There were such extraordinary people involved in “the King’s great matter.” Cranmer and Thomas More Henry on first seeing “the Flemish cow” (oh England, the things I do for you.) Was he sterile by then? and was it syphilus?

Exactly 👍

Mary was not England's first queen

@ said “worst”…

@ First crowned Queen. Empress Matilda and Lady Jane Grey were not crowned nor had a coronation.

@@laceylewis3197 the comment says first.

And never held onto it to be fair there was zero way that they would rule successful all the countries unless she had had many children to govern the areas for her

A Tudor would have bien the most powerful monarch ever.

It would have collapsed.

I think ruling under King Henry’s world 🌎 would’ve been much too difficult to rule under!You couldn’t beat Henry at tennis,or you’d be dead!

Not necessarily. You know what they say about the best laid plans......

Great point. Both Mary and Elizabeth were treated terribly by their father.

@Brenda Harper We have Twitter now too if you guys are on there.

This is exactly what I wondered!!

Mary did what she thought was right to return England to Catholism. Catherine would've understood. Catherine would've happily been martyred like like More and Fisher rather than betray her faith

100%!

What Henry8 did to Margaret Pole was unconscionable

and Elizabeth is the “good queen” 🤔 oh how the patriarchy shapes history

Shit happens 🙂

To be fair Elizabeth really was a good queen, not morally though. And she also reigned for a lot longer

Henry is the reason Elizabeth exists and we know about Anne Boleyn , she was no one , a terrible humanbeing but a much better King that some have been in your country

@@suryasishtalukdar210 The 16th century of Meghan Markle.

Had she played the game with her father she would have been married younger. In the eyes of Catholic Europe she was always legitimate. She likely would have been re legitimized or stayed legit like Eleanor of Aquataine's (spelt wrong I know) daughters had she just played the game.

@@jamiemohan2049 I don’t think it was Mary’s fault that she didn’t get married much earlier. After Anne Boleyn’s death, Mary did kind of reconcile with her father, yet he still didn’t arrange a marriage for her like it was custom for young women her age. The exact reason was political as Mary was much more supported, especially by Catholics.

Women was so bad she was called BLOODY, yet you want to blame the father as if he wasnt also a pawn in the game that is religion. I am glad I view women as equal...as in equally responsible for their actions so men areant always the sole blame. If anything, Henry treated Mary far better than any would have in their position since women were not allowed to inherit the throne, as pointed out in the video. Mary should have played the game, like Elizabeth did.

Yes

They were definitely like their father. Such wickedness. But I’m glad Elizabeth let James 6 have the throne. Her father would’ve hated that . I think she did that on purpose to stick it to her father and end the house of Tudor. Some of Mary’s behaviour was revenge against her father too. He should never have treated their mothers so cruelly. And just think all that slaughter and cruelty to get a male heir, only for the boy to die. The best laid plans....

You blame Mary's "darkness" on Henry but overlook her Spanish Catholic fanaticism which came from her mother. It was religious belief that mandated burning heretics at the stake. That did not come from Henry who you will recall broke with the Catholic pope before Mary's reign. Henry's cruelty toward Catherine and Mary was more likely to cause Mary to reject rather than emulate her father's behavior.

It's not quite Fair to call her servant to the princess Elizabeth. I feel for Mary I, she endured all sorts of many types of unspeakable severe serious traumas, but she still needs to own her bad rap. Mary took out her revenge if you will, on ppl who weren't even her father, for all his abuses. Let's not compare the killings and lest we forget ROME WAS WRONG. Elizabeth endured different kinds of traumas and look what she made of her trauma. Look what Mary made of hers... Don't make this about Gloriana please.

@@TheCandiceWang I agree with most of what you wrote and Elizabeth endured a lot as well as a teenager (including being put in the Tower by Mary). However, Elizabeth executed many Catholics in HORRIFIC ways. I'm not sure which is worse; burning at the stake or hanging, drawing and quartering which was how Elizabeth executed many Catholic "traitors." She also had many of her own servants executed as well, including her long-time doctor, Dr. Lopez, who was innocent, on just the word of the Earl of Essex. It is not about Elizabeth I, but my point was that I don't think Mary was any more cruel than Henry or Elizabeth, so why is she "Bloody Mary?" Yes, Rome and the dreaded inquisition was horrific. Not denying that! There is no doubt that Elizabeth was a great monarch. I was just talking about their historical names and their individual reputation for cruelty.

@@ElizabethF2222 Agreed about the naming. Honestly history and even her current time period where she was alive were both cruel to Mary. None more so than her father, after he had to "move on." I know their dad is seen as tyrannical by many like me, but he's Def given a double standard compared to Mary just cuz he was the likeable summer king. I guess it's easy for me to see the difference between Mary's religious executions and E's bc she was monach first, so her protestant burnings were first, so I guess if ppl must compare the sisters, that's just how I myself see things 🙏 Yes when I finally found out what being drawn and quartered ACTUALLY was like, I about threw up lol. Such primal evil. I don't know what was with ppl who conjured up such executions. Definitely barbaric, as too many monarchs had folks drawn and quartered! Being a Joan d'Arc lover my number one fear of death probably would have to be burning :/

@@TheCandiceWang I think I would have to choose burning too but wow. What a horrible choice. Actually, I think beheading was the quickest and easiest and so was reserved for the nobility and titled men and women. Tudor England executions were absolutely horrific and I too wonder who came up with such awful punishments. So nice to have an intelligent discussion and an exchange of opinions and to remain civil. I see so many ugly responses when people see things differently. I don't know much about Joan d'Arc but what I do know about her, she fascinates me! So young to have commanded an army! Much respect to you and thanks for your comment and opinions!

@@ElizabethF2222 Generally the evidence suggests the whole sentence of being hanged, drawn and quartered was not carried out to the letter of the law, usually the victim was cut down dead or unconscious. The one time Elizabeth ordered it to be done (with the first Babington conspirators) the crowd’s reaction was one of horror. This suggests it was not common for them to see it. So generally the victims only felt the hanging part. While it is true the were similar numbers of Catholic executed under Elizabeth as Mary there are some significant differences. Mary started the burnings about two years into her reign. There were no executions in Elizabeth’s reign for political or religious reasons for about 12 years. Then there was a rebellion in 1569 many of the rebels were executed. For the first third of her reign not one person was executed because of their religious beliefs. The hangings to which you refer did not start for nearly 20 years. This was well after the Pope excommunicated Elizabeth, and effectively told Catholics not only could they depose her, they should depose her. This made being a Catholic a political act as well as a religious one. The more Protestant of Elizabeth’s councillors had always wanted stronger measures taken against Catholics. Elizabeth was able to keep a lid on them until she was excommunicated. The number of Catholics then executed for treason took place over a 20 or 30 year period as opposed to three years of Mary’s rule. Catholics were executed for political reasons not religious (although many had not actually conspired against Elizabeth, so that may be a semantic difference ). Had Mary ruled as long as Elizabeth then it is likely the number of her victims would have numbered in the 1000s. This is why she is called Bloody Mary, and Elizabeth is not. However, the irony is Mary was probably the nicer as a person of the two women. I think Mary does get a bad rap, but I think she was a disaster as a queen. I also think had Edward lived, he would have got a pretty bad rap as a king because he, like Mary, was a religious fanatic and would have persecuted Catholics for their religious beliefs.

@@jessrosefawkes2721 glad your enjoy the content so much! Very happy to hear it 😊

Great job Christopher Bawden :)

@@jacey1963 thank you! It makes all the difference knowing you all enjoy the content and my narration ☺️

@UCPKklc0CZN4mTsgwqDw5eZg Thank you! I'm glad to hear that 😊 i agree there. I believe the trials and tribulations she faced as a young women reflect poorly on Henry the 8th and his subsequent wives (to a point) with regards to Mary. I believe she did what she thought was best in the run up to surge in executions and life distorting events that evidently led to a horrific rule

E was. Henry VIII was not. I even know a good deal about his potential health threats, can manage to find some curious compassion for him, But understand that he still committed tyrannical acts and was the worst in many regards.

@TheCandiceWang henry viii execute 72,000 people yet still not named bloody henry

Her bloody Mary title was all anti Catholic propaganda

What rankles most is that a lot of those burned were humble people, whose own understanding of doctrine was not clear. She was punishing them for being uneducated.

Glad you liked it.

Not quite so. I don't realkg believe the moniker is fair so many years on later, but she is comparable to others who also do not have a favorable regard. She was quite hot headed destructive unstable, all due to their father who comijttee such abuses. You could have substituted in E for all your description there, more than for M. Mary let Henry get the best of her. It's a shame bc he really did a number on sooooooo many family members and just destroyed them. Doesn't mean God gonna not hold her accountable for her atrocities. Just as He holds their father accountable too.

You took the words out of my mouth.

History should call Henry as “ Henry the Tyrant” However they have a name for Mary when she didn’t kill more people than her father or even her amazing sister Elizabeth. I’m not in agree to demonize Mary she lived a horrible life.

I guess that’s why he’s called Vlad The Cuddler. Or Ivan The Reasonable. Lol Women complain about everything, then wonder why nobody wants them to rule.

It was not a mistake, it was an act of criminal/evil rooted in her desire for revenge for what happened to her. The irony is that Mary was NOT a brilliant queen - she herself was a heretic.

Yes I agree with you Mary was very brilliant

You are most welcome.

Well said baby Gurl same

Mic drop on your foot. You compare Mary to Stalin without context. What was the size of those populations? Who seems more vicious to you, someone who slaughters half the population or 10% of the population?

Marilyn Nah he never had an ounce of Conscience about what he did the only person a Narcissist like Henry thinks of is themselves the only fear they have is for their own lives he knew he was going to burn for eternity for his sins against innocent people and I am sure it terrified him but I don't think he had any remorse guilt is different than remorse Henry convinced himself he was justified in his behavior ll of it especially the beheadings of his wives and the Banishing of Catherine and Mary from each other they disobeyed me they deserve it how dare they defy my authority Henry was King before he was daddy the power went to his big ole head the one thing bigger than his belly was his ego

@@aprilgosa5779 This is strange, all the kings of England did this. Did these people go to heaven, man?

He's a man. Of course not.

Don 't forget that Elisabeth 1 was arrested at the Tower because of Mary and only her Spanish husband Phillip persuaded her to release her.

@@sabine4759 Not really. It was her, not her husband which did not executed her. It was in the best of Mary and Philip interest to have her executed, it would have assured catholicism in England and destroyed any suported monarch of the Protestant side. Mary did not killed her because she was her sister and couldnt do it.

@@Alejojojo6 No, this is not traditional. Philip instantly felt in love with Elizabeth from the first moment he saw her and he was sorry not being married to her than to old and ugly mary! The court was talking about that subject constantly! And so did the people in London! He talked to Elizabeth a long time and was hoping to marry her after Marys death because Marys health detiriorated! He expected Elizabeth converting to the Roman catholic faith and Elisabeth promised to do so because she was afraid of being executed! Of course she wouldn 't had done that! There were only political and tactical reasons for her behaviour.Philip soon left mary and went to Bruessels to the court where he had a few mistresses and waited for Marys death! Mary hadn't any scruples at all executing her sister. Elisabeth was arrested not only once and Mary gave the orders to treat her harsh and brutal Eliabeth wasn 't tortured but they questioned very brusquely! It makes no sense idiolazing Mary , at least she wasn 't a good person!

@@sabine4759 Philip did not fall in love with Elizabeth. She was ugly, she had dark teeth from eating sweeties and destroyed skin.... It was just a political move. He wanted to marry her afterwards because that means having hold still on England. With the death of Mary he had lost control of England somehow and Elizabeth was the obvious choice. Philip was very busy man, and Mary was close in her 40s, she couldnt give Philip an heir so it made no sense to waiste time with a Queen that wasnt going to produce heirs. Mary had raised Elizabeth, and had cared for her. At fist didnt like her but grew fond of her as she was an innocent child, Mary only disliked her mother not her. Elizabeth also was very fond of Mary as a toddler. She was the only one to understand her when she was repudiated from court by their father. When the obvious reasons to kill Elizabeth came, it would have secured Catholicism into the throne, but she didnt kill her because it was her beloved sister above all. Elizabeth was arrested once... she had her actually cared for in Prison and then released after few months instead of killing her. If that isnt a good person, WHAT IS!! Elizabeth wasnt torture or question at all. Idiolazing Elizabeth makes no sense.

​@@sabine4759old? She was 37 at that time!

Thank you Cissy!

I dont think it was Henry VIII's fault that his heir died at 16 years old...

@@PeopleProfiles what complications did Henry bring on his children??? Henry had an son and heir. Edward died as king so how was that Henry's fault???

Objective achieved then 🙂

One of them, yes

@@lucifermorningstar-k2f I wish you would call yourself your proper title, Queen Mary I of England

@@Shane-Flanagan yeah

Have a drink on us!

Mary was overshadowed by Elizabeth for two reasons: (1) Like Mary Queen of Scots, Mary Tudor was a romantic and ran afoul of men who were not loyal to them, and (2) Mary was not the statesman Elizabeth was. When Mary was queen she did not fill the crown coffers nor did she build up the crown navy; Elizabeth did both. When Elizabeth inherited the crown,, England was broke. When Elizabeth died, she left England a very rich country. Plus, she was known for her overall wise governance.

Given all of Henry machinations to get a male heir, I find the irony that Mary, and after her Elizabeth, suceeded to the throne to be especially delicious. And it certainly doesn't hurt that Elizabeth's reign was long and sucessful.

Right reason for that. Mary I was super unstable. She didn't exactly accomplish what Eliz I did in her reign.

@@Brembelia bingo. Idk why ppl are not even understanding they're comparing apples to oranges here. Elizabeth used her Wits to learn from others' mistakes. She was mindful and incredibly observant. That's the whole freaking reason why she's revered as she is.

Unfortunately yes...

And each of them disrupted the entire Country.

@@moondancer4660 I had not thought of this fact before. It is rare.

Henri II of France. 3 or 4 of his sons in a row

He's next week.

Capitalize the first letter of names..

I'm sure Elizabeth would have been close to Anne as well had that disgusting pos Henry didn't have her head lopped off for made up charges.

Hehe 😜

Her husband abandoned her when she couldn't give iA child.

I agree. Had she not been subjected to all that she was, to judge by what we do know of her in childhood, she would have grown up not to be what she at last became.

@@harrietharlow9929 seriously. You put it into good words! What that man did to his wife and his first daughter...

Yeah...my childhood hardships drove me insane, literally.

She was no more evil than any other Tudor monarch (never mind the Plantagenates !). Her father was a monster....Elizabeth left the brave sailors who defeated the Spanish Armada to die by not allowing them to come ashore until many (MANY) of them had died (because then she'd have had to pay them...and she was notoriously cheap)

Evil is a strong word

Anne Boleyn was no saint, but she was innocent of the charges laid against her. She originally didn’t want anything to do with King Henry, as she was happy enough to want to marry her betrothed Henry Percy and was also aware that her sister had been King Henry’s mistress. But King Henry was persistent and even ended Anne’s betrothal to Henry Percy, which infuriated her. She had tried to leave court at one point just to get away from him but she was trapped in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. No one was allowed to marry her, as marriages between nobles had to be approved by the King, and he wanted her for himself. She couldn’t run away to a nunnery as that would require her father’s permission, and that would never happened since that would ruin any advantages that her family could gain through her marriage. There were no options once King Henry set his sight on someone, and he eventually wore her down. She was smart enough to avoid being his mistress but there was still the matter of him being a married man. I’m not gonna lie, the way Catherine and Mary were treated was reprehensible and traumatized Mary. There’s no defense or excuse for what they suffered at King Henry and Anne’s hands. After suffering miscarriages and only having Elizabeth, she knew that her situation was precarious and she was slowly falling out of King Henry’s good graces. The straw that ended her was miscarrying a boy after catching King Henry with Jane Seymour. Her enemies chose that moment to strike and came to King Henry with trumped up charges of adultery and incest, high treason for a Queen which meant death. It is unclear if King Henry truly believed the charges or if he played along so he could get rid of her since he had Jane waiting in the wings. King Henry had already hired the French swordsman who was to be her executioner before she was was even tried or heard the charges against her, and was well on his way during Anne’s temporary stay in the Tower of London. While she was in the Tower she saw the executions of the innocent men she was accused of sleeping with, one of which was her own brother George. King Henry was married to Jane Seymour just days after Anne’s death, with young Elizabeth only being 2 years old.

Now you do 😉

Would love for Queen Mary Tudor to get her big screen debut.

@@krazyshorty89 Unfortunately, the person who best looked the part to play her has passed away (see other comments).

@@teeteringonthebrink.305 I'll have to take a look. Truth is Queen Mary Tudor was actually a great beauty. Actual descriptions of her tell as such. Her beauty was enough to rival Mary Queen of Scots. Unfortunately, biased views of her reign depict her as some hideous woman in modern portrayals. Even paintings of are doctored to make her look evil. I like Sarah Boulgers take on Queen Mary Tudor

@@krazyshorty89 Thanks for your response. It's all tongue in cheek really - the portrait of Mary that keeps coming up and which is used in the thumbnail looks, to some of us, like the late British actor Dennis Waterman who, despite being quite rugged, could never be seen as a good looking bloke. Not in the classical sense at least, although others may disagree with those sentiments. As for Bloody Mary herself...I bow down to your greater knowledge of the lady.👍
