Thanks because i really needed only this extract to rewatch again and analyse and i couldn't do that on the streaming platform without so many interruption and ads coming up to do my work needed for university
Marry, but marry who your grace? Some say France and others Spain, and some cannot abide foreigners at all. 'When there are two clear sides to an argument, swiftly ensure that they become many sides. With the arguing voices competing against each other, you can then do what you want.' - Lord Havelock Vetinari, Rule of Ankh-Morpork
In reality, before Elizabeth even met her Lords and Commons for the 1st time, the Marian bishops had been ushered off to prison where *some among their number* - i.e., the ones who had not only been *complicit* , but *active* in the persecution and torture of protestants - rightfully belonged (the most notorious example being *Edmund Bonner* , Bishop of London).
Christopher Eccleston portrays Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk who in 1558 was the "Earl Marshal" so I guess that is the uniform that goes with it if this is historically accurate.
Provided such a scene ever took place in reality; the bishops Elizabeth had to deal with at the very beginning of her reign, were mostly the old Marian catholic prelates she had, so to speak, inherited from her half-sister. Those among them who had actively partaken in the torture and burning of Protestants, mostly ended their lives as prisoners in Elizabeth`s gaols.
