What was life like for a Tudor lady? | Elizabethan England 

she deserved a BAFTA for this performance, she sounded and acted as if she was really speaking from the heart and not recreating it

"I have a most BEAUTIFUL rug from Persia...wherever that is..." That is *cracking good* understated comedy! Wonderful performance by Ms. Freeborne. Thank you Kev!

This is such a good way to learn, so much more hands on than an old history book. Video is a gift from God, we might as well make good use of it. This is a perfect example.

This is like a painting come to life. Brilliant!

That’s a seriously good performance, I must say

my god, this was such a phenomenal video and the actress for Lady Bess was amazing!

This was fantastic! I've got to look up the cloth trade collapse, I didn't think such a needed material would suffer that.

Am I the only one that, for a second, expected Kevin in Tudor drag?

Kudos to the writer and director for this first-rate presentation. The actress is captivating. Loved it.

I half expected this to be Kevin made up like a lady! Hahaha! I’m glad it wasn’t, I think his voice would be all wrong for the part. The lady whomever she is, did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing this.

WOW she was AMAZING! I could watch her all day!

These videos are fantastic

Excellent performance! Well done! 👍

I wish I could find more videos like this, it's a great way to teach people about history.

Lovely performance. Bravo to the lady.

amazing actress Lady Elaine, amazing performance, bravo!!

Phenomenal. I enjoyed every second of this.

Loved this! I'm so glad i found this channel!

LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!

Nicely done. 👍

That was really good 👍🏻

Most excellent. Only the second of these first hand accounts that I have seen but I love em.

I just love this! Thank you!!!!!

I love this channel its the history lessons I always wished I'd had but never got

These videos are great.

I absolutely 💯 love this vid! Please please more like this! I have now lurked in the shadows of youtube since almost its beginning (2005), and say our 5his Channel shall be the 1st I consciously subscribe to in all this time some 17 years ago! I find the irony in this vid and direct/indirect parallels to our own time spot on! It's almost as if the events portraided here are somehow a reverse sort of future looking glass. By looking back ate we not also looking forward, for is history the judge of us all. We steer blindly it seems like into the future only looking at the rear view mirror as our guide. If this isn't profetic and telling, not sure what is. These "current day" social problems have been, are now, and perhaps always will be with mankind. Those who do not study and apply lessons from the past are perhaps forever doomed to repeat it!! Thanks again so much!

Astonishing piece of scriptwriting and acting! ... and i must confess that this good woman who perfomed a Tudor-era lady awfully reminded of my ex-boss from college. Eeesh. This pure expectation of a chamber pot to be splashed upon your head from the second story and then to be scolded for idleness. Thank you! P.S. I understand that you have an already an awful lot on your plate to deal with, mr. Hicks, but would you be so kindly to think on a video about posh Georgian gentleman in a crazy but era-appropriate wig and ghostly pale make-up and a highly fashionable of the time beauty spot? It would be awesome to hear his opinion about new Window tax and those pesky colonials who've tossed tea into the Boston's harbour (wherever that is) and demand their representation in Parliament. Preposterous! Some people claiming that they are even considering a rebellion against our graceous king George III! Thanks again!

This channel is awesome...

Thanks to the actor. The cinematographer as well. This was a surprise. A very pleasant surprise.

This was pretty good. I always appreciate a good history channel, and I see even more videos of yours I look forward to watching. SUBBED! ^~^ Be well!

Interesting how the camera pans across her food, drink, and riches as she bashes the needy and disabled. Then proclaims that she shall have a bite of pie before she goes to the show spending her pennies on luxuries at said show. Bawdy indeed!!

My Dear Lady could be mistaken for describing London AD 2022.

Phenomenal Acting!!

Good stuff…

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Sounds like present-day circumstances.

Reminds me of some of the people who sere talking at the height of the Covid 19 pandemic etc.

Like today...history repeats

Granny !! I found you and need to come home now please !!

The resemblance between hard times, economy and degenerates then and NOW is eerie... such shame.

Wow!how we have progressed.

This was almost prophetic

Sounds no different to the dwp now lol though a damn good whipping for the idle sounds just as good now as it did then to be fair 🤣

❤️❤️

The strangest thing about this video is that this lady could easily pass off as a slightly older Katie Hopkins. The sound of this lady's voice sounds similar too, and the words she's saying, well, even more similar. Elizabeth had the benefit though of being a product of her time. I have been taught about QEI up to second year degree level, I still think she's awesome. Unlike that other poor woman I mentioned. Also no offence again to the actress narrating! This was a fantastic way of giving a rough idea to people of the sort of things QEI had to deal with that isn't taught in school.

Dang I saw the thumbnail and I was really hoping it was you in that dress

👍🏻

♥️♥️♥️👌

So history repeats itself.

Was hoping Kevin would play the Tudor woman but good video nonetheless.

Bond, James Bond. License to beg.

That’s why when I had a date I always like to see the mother first.

Not bad.

✝️

At least we can be thankful that Smell-O-Vision isn't a thing. People must have STANK back then.

I'm wounded that it's not you in drag, Kevin 😂

What a Doll. Well maybe nothing has changed.

What was the reason for the crazy amounts of makeup?

Some things never change. People were upset by the homeless. Interesting that the only help there was came from the Catholic church which Henery had abolished.

I really had to look to make sure that wasn’t Kevin dressed up he’s such a character, I’m still not 100% it’s not lol.

They look as crazy as they were

Where’s Bess’s forehead??? 😂

The makeup styles of the time are shocking

Things haven't changed much

Hahaha I think in that time not that color lipstick.

Kevin, you should have dressed in drag and done this peice.🤣

Was this lady a former relative of Prime Minister Liz Truss? 😂😰😂

Polical correctness belittled this by blaming the weather above everything else.

I thought this was a man

The original Karen

This speech was written by Nigel Farage!

Sounds like a Trump supporter.
