England's Greatest Queen Elizabeth I - The Golden Era - Royal Documentary 👉👉 Please subscribe our channel: / @ukdocumentarytv Thanks For Watching !!! #TheQueen #QueenElizabethI
I agree. You already know that you are in for 'history with drama' when these two are presenting (not that that's a bad thing) but this was more like 'history with an acid trip'.
Yes and how the model-like hostess! The narrator? Is this cinema or TV? Why is her dialogue, her explanatory, "footnotes" blabbed over- I thought it was the channel I was watching or my connection! Too bad because this period in Britain's history and women's too, is SO fascinating and truly shaped modern North America- I am not a Royal Family Follower but I think Queen Elizabeth 2, The Crown wins hands down and for a riveting performance, a dull script made enjoyable by Helen Mirren arguably one of the greatest actresses of the last hundred years- since cinema, maybe before, Sarah Bernhardt! Helen's performance as Queen Elizabeth reacting to the death of Princesd Diana, is SO MOVING, SO STUDIED, SO NEAR PERFECT- a boring film considering the subject matter- shouldn't have been made worth your while as a student of acting- this is HOW! Sorry for rambling. Nobody pays attention to me anyhow-
@@MSYNGWIE12She is Suzannah Lipscomb, a well known professor and authority on Medieval studies…. As is Dan Jones. They are excellent authorities but this video is just chopped unmercifully.Why it is , is very strange.
Whoever edited this video must have been either inept or drunk on the job....possibly both? It's practically impossible to watch. The audio isn't even in sync.
This was a most enjoyable and interesting program to watch. It is a shame the audio and video were not lined up properly. Guess in making such a video one can not expect perfection. Thank you for uploading, I did enjoy it.
Elizabeth I the Virginia Queen. Gloriana, wrote poems to her father even before he acknowledged her and had banished her illegitemized her. She was very smart and humble shrewd and intelligent. She refused to marry because she protected her crown and her personal power. She was not weak. When she was become Queen she wielded that as powerfully though with more wisdom than King Henry VIII.
I can only imagine how lonely she must have felt. But Elizabeth I knew full well that as ruler that she can't make the same mistakes her sister Mary I did which was why she gave up her love (Robert Dudley) for the country. That sacrifoce was what led her to becoming the greatest British monarch in history.
This is the 3 part Channel 5 series from 2017 but seems to be a really bad screen cap combined into one video. It's a shame as this is one of the most recent and comprehensive documentaries about Elizabeth I that I can see but is not available to stream or buy in the UK. Definitely one worth watching and hopefully will be released again on DVD or online.
I have a question about something that has been bothering me - would Queen Elizabeth ever be referred to as Queen Elizabeth the first within her lifetime?
I always wondered where England gets all these Middle Ages actors and etc. Do they use local playhouse actors for all these documentaries? They all do a great job and appreciate all of it.
She had to be incredibly brilliant and I mean having some mad strategic skills not to mention and incredibly shrewd to succeed in the monarchy like she did.
Thank you for posting this! It's a shame the full version isn't on RU-vid. If anyone is looking for the full 3-part documentary, it's called Elizabeth I and Her Enemies. The hosts are Suzannah Lipscomb and Dan Jones. It's on Amazon.
No. Queen nos 1 had full power. The second Elizabeth has no power bar an influence. Parliament rules & if it doesn't get it's way it resigns & the Queen asks another party to form a government but it needs a majority to do so. The Queen is a symbol. Personally I lost all respect for QE2 because of all the money that gets stolen from the taxpayers to fund their private undertakings ie Harry getting £2m to refurbish cottages for his country retreat, his father as PoW had a few £100s million & Harry has £15m, yet the poorest taxpayers fund his alterations & the Queen owned it too. They have been doing this for decades because they can. Harry should get a mortgage if he wants not too touch his nice savings.
The quality is shocking. It's supposed to be a high quality program, delivered in a very educated and well researched way. That's not the impression I get at all.
I so wanted to watch this but the constant out of sync audio and multiple scenes being replayed really tested my patience. I lasted 15mins before I ended the mess that I was watching.
I've watched many documentaries in regard to the Tudors. I know this maybe an unpopular opinion/thought, but I'd love to hear other thoughts and opinions on the subject matter. I've seen this particular documentary a few times and as I was watching this a thought came to mind. What if Elizabeth was setting up Thomas Seymour and was playing a role. As we know she was a bright and intelligence girl but also had some ruthlessness and cunning inherited from both of her parents. Now yes, he was very young when Thomas was grooming her, but I believe in the back in her mind she wanted to get revenge on Thomas....Why? First, he was blatantly disrespectful to the woman she loved and regarded as a mother figure and violating her at the same time. Then when it was found out by Katherine Parr, and she was sent away and she never saw her again Elizabeth blamed Thomas for destroying the relationship with Katherine and now the love and security she felt in her life was gone forever due to this man's lust for power. She barely remembers her own mother and endured the mistreatment of her father so I know the loss of security was devastating and she will never experience again. Therefore, I believe she played along after Katherine death and put him on track to go the scaffold. Just a thought.
I think Thomas Seymour was an auld rogue but I don't see him getting past Elizabeth's nurse Kat Ashley or Ashbury. She was with her until her own death.
Yes, I noticed that too, Your Majesty is for Kings and Queens only, I think it would be Princess or Lady Elizabeth as her Father, King Henry V111 downgraded her…
Elizabeth, as an aristocratic young woman would have been taught to say no to a man without openly rejecting and making him angry. this would have been basic manners to a girl in that world. He was the hubby of her beloved stepmother who tried to molest her while Katherine was pregnant , her dirty old uncle . She did turn him down for sure but no woman would have been openly rejecting him at that level of power. That would have been called manners but honestly could be life and death or could come to that especially if she hurt a powerful man. She was not queen yet ok. She was just a female in that oppressive;y suffocating patriarchy. She would have been taught caution < She was being smart amd pragmatic in what she would have kmown at that age. Seymour was overkilling and one of the cant take a no even given sweetly. FROSS
You guys have GOT to find a better way of editing your videos. I really wanted to watch this, but I can't put up with the constant flipping from one image to another.
Elizabeth I was perhaps England's greatest monarch ever, not just a queen. She was also a bit off her rocker, but if you grew up in a life-threatening, toxic environment as she did, you'd be a little crazy too. Ladies makeup of that period was also highly toxic, right up to the Victorian era; all laced with lead and arsenic.
The only thing that annoyed me is the way it was forward and backwards. I get involved in movies that interest me and that was distracting. Otherwise I loved it.
Poor Catherine can’t get over this and dies in childbirth. Elizabeth is kicked out and Seymour dies by the sword for treason. The baby is lost to history. So sad for 4 people.
I’ve lived in East Sussex my entire life. My ancestry dates back over 600 years across England and Europe. I’ve spent my lifetime studying, documenting, and preserving England’s history, for the generations to come….However, what is most disappointing to me, is documentaries like this one. They often disregard segments in relation to the lives of these historical figures. These segments are of great historical importance, and any exclusion manipulates the viewer’s understanding and perception of their true lives. Its imperative we document and preserve England’s history, diligently and accurately. Hollywood has done England’s heritage a great disservice, and it will take time for the damage to heal. This kind of work does not help. Please do better next time.
@@phyllispetras3369 I would suggest “The Lions Club, BBC 1971 Elizabeth R 6 part series”. The series is exquisite in the level of historical accuracy. While some elements are truncated and others are exaggerated, you don’t see any of the crazy invented story lines that happen in some modern versions of her life. The only possible complaint I might have about this series is about the first episode, which shows Princess Elizabeth’s tumultuous rise to the throne. Jackson was in her mid-30s when that was filmed, thus playing the teenaged princess was a bit of a stretch. The episode is necessary to tell the story, and Jackson is an amazing actor in the part; the look is the only thing that doesn’t quite work. It’s a very minor quibble. I would also recommend “The Six Wives of Henry VIII" was a series of six teleplays produced by the BBC and first transmitted between 1 January and 5 February 1970. Not to be confused with “the six wives of Henry VIII (documentary). I can list others, but I would start here. Cheers!
@@phyllispetras3369 I’m currently watching the new historical miniseries “Becoming Elizabeth”. So far I do like it, but because it’s not finished yet I can’t give my full opinion. What it does do very well is accurately portray the relationship Elizabeth had with her sister Mary. I would suggest giving it a watch it’s pretty good so far.
Big whoop! QEI is actually my double second cousin, Anne and Henry were both my 1st cousins x 10making QEI My double second cousin. It would be impossible fr these mini-documentaries to go into all the nuances of every relationship and minute or history. I look at these docs as an opening for those who are interested in studying further may not have the seed planted to do their own research. I have traded my family’s tree back to someone born in 412 AD. Ihave found citations that state my family was related to all th royal houses of Europe an England from 432 AD to 1932AD and still related to those that remain. If anyone should be fended by any mistakes or omissions, it should be me and I am fine with it
Left out, Elizabeth I was ill at the time of the summons. It took 11days because she was sick. I don't think historians should leave out parts, adding others for dramatic affect. "Dragging her feet all the way" is not true. Mind you, a horse drawn carriage on unpaved roads was the topography of this trip.
One thing I’ve noticed was back in medieval times and such that Queens happened more than Kings lol 😂 Birthing a boy back then was tricky 😂Imagine being crowned Sovereign and walking down that isle in Westminster Abbey knowing past Kings & Queens walked down the same isle.
It’s so sad that he did the mothers of his kids like that. Then marrying the teen and killing her should not been allowed. I get it girls and women were treated like cattle something you own and don’t have to respect. We don’t understand the rights we have as women. Those women lost their lives so that we can own our own lives and bodies.
This "docudrama" is poorly filmed, choppy in its editing , repetitive in scenes and dialogue, the audio is not in sync. This whole thing sucks and is difficult to watch. Looks like 2 or 3 videos were chopped up and spliced together to form 1 inferior video.
Don’t be ridiculous..how was she guided by either of them..? She hardly saw her father and her mother was executed when she was quite young.. please do some research before making ridiculous statements like this. 🙄
After being falsely imprisoned, shunned and ect so on, i know for a fact how the facts lose to embellishments, how a group of people can target an innocent woman force hardships plan and scheme knowingmy vulnerability , they didn't expect a when woman to stand and speak for herself, as far as this documentary, who knows what REALLY HAPPENED.
The audio doesn't match the video. The editing makes it chopped up. 2 seconds of a historians' mouth moving jumps to something else that takes up a few words into the next part.
What? 'Protestant and Catholics were tearing each other in the name of God.' No, Protestants were torturing, tearing apart Catholics, looting churches, monasteries in the name of greed. First German princes then English, Swedish kings.
BTW: I am getting to be weary of the current royal family. People whisper that the late Queen mother was a B---H. When the late nanny Miss Crawford was thrown to the dogs, I had had enough of their lack of name your own noun, that was when I was very young, 70 years ago. I truly would love a decently made documentay of Elizabeth 1. Thank you.
