More info. about the video
Elizabeth I died in 1603 and the body of the queen has always been interred in Westminster Abbey, even if not in its current location. Instead the initial burial of Queen Elizabeth was just a stop-gap measure until she was moved to the tomb of her sister, Mary I (died 1558) in 1606. This was done on the orders of King James I of England/James VI of Scotland. He also had an impressive and expensive tomb monument erected over the double grave, though when you look at it you might be forgiven for thinking, ‘but where is Mary I buried’, as it makes so little mention of her and the effigy shows only the last Tudor Queen. The tomb was opened in the 19th century during a search for King James’s own remains and a description of the coffins of the two queens has been left to us. I can guarantee you that Queen Mary would be appalled at the way in which they have been placed in the vault, but you’ll have to watch the video to find out why. So sit back and enjoy this study of the tomb of Elizabeth I and Mary I and the monument over it.

Mary l wanted to be buried with her mother and that didn't happen because while she was on the throne she didn't moved her mother's body to westminster Abbey.

I've really come to empathize with Mary I as I've gotten older; a lot of the books I've read, both fictional and not, paint her as such a villain in English history. I know it's not going to happen but I'd actually really like to see her moved to Peterborough to be with her mother. It's the least that we could do to give both women their peace. I'm certain Elizabeth I wouldn't hate it either, lol.

@margaretlouise6200 Год назад

I think of her as a terrible unfortunate, upstaged by Henry with Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth, renamed a bastard by her own father, cruelly separated from her mother, both disgraced, and Mary, the Princess Royal, demoted all the way down to Lady, for a time even serving in Elizabeth's household. Then, when things could have gotten better at her accession, her marriage to Phillip II was something of a political bad smell and emotional disaster with a false pregnancy that made everyone laugh when she must have been humiliated and grief-stricken for her abandoning husband and non-existent child. Being raised by Catherine (and Henry) as a devoted Catholic, even that left her the eventual besmirching of "Bloody Mary," when in truth she felt she had an obligation under God to restore the "only true Church." I don't think she was ever in the league of the Holy Inquisition though, whose aim was in the same line. And she fell short of Henry's level of blood-soaked activities too. From this vantage, her whole life was a pretty sad story, really. I agree, she should have had her wish to be reunited with her mother, whom she obviously loved and admired deeply, but even something as simple as that failed for her. No wonder her portraits all make her look bitter and suspicious.

@VeracityLH Год назад

Elizabeth would have looked at the idea with a politico-legacy eye. If she though it good for England and for her reputation, she might have agreed; if she could see no benefit, she would leave the past alone. But like the idea of Mary with her mother.

@SeGG8791 Год назад

@@VeracityLH I don't disagree, Elizabeth I was very careful in how she approached the rest of her family and given the state of the nation in her day, she had far greater priorities than what to do with Mary I's corpse (even setting aside the resentment they had for each other). I'm just sentimental and think that, for all her various faults and wrong-doings, after the misery Henry VIII put Mary through, the least we could do is reunite her with her mother in death.

@@HistoryCalling if you find how history is taught in different countries, I think you will find interesting how it is taught here in Ukraine. We learn history for 7 years (all of middle and high school and it's obligatory as all subjects are). In the first two years we have only one subject: in the first year we learn what is history and in the second we learn history from the Homo erectus to the fall of Rome (it's quite hard for 12 year-olds to comprehend whole civilizations, I must say). In the third year we have two subjects: one is world history and the second is history of Ukraine which also has 2 lessons per week. Pupils supposed to learn global processes first and then how they affect Ukraine, but it's usually the other way around. The program is very Europe-centric, which is quite logical, but we do learn about Asia and Africa (more that colonization I mean) when we start to study 19th century and learn a bit about Latin America in the 20th century. On the paper such depth is good, but in reality students are extremely overloaded, because every subject is built upon the idea we should know everything there is to that subjects

I went to Catholic school in Maryland. The nuns taught American history, as well as European, but with a specific attention to British history.

@jaylamont616 Год назад

As an American with a Scottish name, I have found English history fascinating right down to the present. Twentieth Century Royals were as intriguing as most others. Look at King Charles III for example. If they had let the man marry the woman he loved in the first place, then likely there wouldn't have been an English Prince or Duke [whatever they call themselves] living in a republic, and of all places, California -- AKA the land of fruit and nuts. At about the time of the Tudors my family, who were Scots, split off to France [Normandy] to stay with their religion, and the name was changed to fit [LaMont] and why some went to Northern Italy, I have no idea, but there came the [e] at the end of it. They must have liked the weather better,

@jaylamont616 Год назад

What an interesting system you put forward. This is the first I have heard of such emphasis on studying world history. I only wish more school systems put more emphasis on learning history, for one thing is sure, history will always repeat itself unless leaders are wise enough to avoid the pitfalls that the steps of those who precede them warn to a different direction. I recently read how many leaders had in common reading the writings of Machiavelli, which left in question what they took from such study. If I could make one wish, it would be to have all leaders remember that all life is given on a short-term lease. Nothing is forever, and only the Romans seem to have understood, as in every chariot carrying an honored General through the streets of Rome, a slave accompanied him, reminding him repeating, in his ear -- all fame is fleeting.

I always like your use of original sources. I am reminded of the small historic Cemetery that was next to the University of my childhood. It was coveted by the University as a parking lot. After years if manuvering they finally got their wish . The old gravestones were dumped in a wash at the North of Town and the bodies were moved to the modern Cemetery , allowing a lucky 2 dozen academics their parking space... which of course wasn't large enough so more land was condemned for public use . . So sad .. the town lost a part of its history and a few soles were not allowed to rest.. the very people that built the city. I find it odd that Elizabeth who lived through, at times ,a hair raising existence , would let herself die without insuring who would follow her as a secure ruler of England .. I am probably wrong , but the secession could have been better planned ..at least to her preferences .. I get she was concerned any man would betray her but I can't help feeling it could have been better planned.. thanks.

Thanks for this wonderful video. I especially appreciate that you included the map of the layout, and explained the distances, and relationship between the tombs, one to the other. For those of us who have never been able to visit this fascinating site, Your explanation was a godsend. I've watched many videos discussing the contents of Westminster Abbey, but no one has ever shown a detailed representation of it's layout before that I was able to make sense of. I wonder if Mary I 's tomb was in place originally, and it was decided to erect Elizabeth's over it after the fact to save space, and moreover, underline Elizabeth's long protestant reign, compared to Mary's short Catholic reign? It would seem to the casual visitor that God has blessed Protestantism over Catholicism. Perhaps James then was able to justify using the extra space to honor his mother? I'd love to have been a fly on the wall listening to James and his advisors discussing these plans.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Thanks Marylou. Yes, the Abbey can be quite tricky to understand even if you've been there a few times as I had so I thought a map was definitely in order and I was really glad I had pictures where you could see those flags from both sides of the screen as I thought that was a good way of getting across just how close the tombs all are. Mary has always been buried in that tomb, however there was no effigy or marker over her until James had the statue of Elizabeth put in place, with its very brief mention of Mary.

What better way to get back at Elisabeth in death for killing his mother than burying her with the sister she hated.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, it was certainly an interesting choice. He made sure his mother's tomb was bigger than Elizabeth's as well.

@SALeppard Год назад

@@HistoryCalling it was a matter of too little to late as James VI/I did nothing to help his mother and looked through his fingers and allowed his mother to be murdered. If James had said he would have broken the treaty with England if they murdered his mother and rightful Sovereign Elizabeth eud not have dared harm his mother Queen Mary. Instead he was bought and sold with English gold such a traitor to his nation.

Great video, as always! My sister just visited Westminster last month and was showing me her photos of this tomb last week at Easter brunch. She, my sister in law, and I were having a fun history discussion. At one point, I challenged them to name their favorite wife of Henry VIII; they both said Catherine of Aragon, but mine is Anne of Cleves. I hadn’t realized the succession had followed a different sister than the one Henry VIII chose. The reasons for that and what that alternate succession would have been could be an interesting video.

Ah, I'm a fan of Anne Boleyn myself (to research) and Catherine Parr to hang out with :-)

Henry the VIII chose his son as his successor. There was also Edward the VI before Mary. He is always forgotten cause his reign didn't last long. Due to health issues he had his whole life. He came to the Throne at the age of nine and died age of 15.

Hello. Happy Friday. I went to London in 2012 and visited Westminister Abbey. I remembered seeing Elizabeth’s tomb. It was a great to get to see her tomb. I don’t remember seeing the monument to those buried in st Peter ad vincula at the Tower of London . I did enjoy the chapel. I would like to go back to London and revisit those sites after seeing your videos. Have a great weekend

Hi Delia. Yes, the Abbey and the Tower are fascinating. You'll definitely have to go back some day if you're able. They're expensive, but at least you can spend most of the day there.

@monicacall7532 Год назад

Expensive, yes. Worth it? Absolutely! I’ve enjoyed visiting the Tower and Westminster Abbey a couple of times and got something completely new out of both visits wherein I spent most of the day at both places. The Brits do history so much better than we Americans do, and I’m not referring to our lack of a long “past” either (unless you also count Native American history and the various explorations of the country pre 1607 [Jamestown settlement] plus the 16th century Spanish outpost of Saint Augustine in Florida.). History in the US is generally portrayed as a long list of boring facts when it’s very much the opposite.

You know, by now each week I am thinking, she's surely run out of stuff about the Tudors now, and what will she be concentrating on next. And then I see the video preview and find out out there's still more to cover. I found this video particularly interesting as I've been in Westminster Cathedral twice years ago, and I would have loved to have someone this knowledgeable with me explaining what we see. Unfortunately both times I was accompanied by somewhat impatient family members instead who do not share my love for history. Thanks a lot for this, and keep 'em coming.

Diana, let me tell you, I worry about running out of Tudor material too as it seems to be what people love the most :-) You've definitely got to go back to the Abbey without the family members. It's too interesting (and too expensive) to not make the most out of your trip. Luckily for me, the day I was there the friend I was with knew I was there for work purposes and pretty much just let me go about and do my own thing. Also, he's a history nerd too so he was very happy to spend hours in there as well.

@semadt Год назад

@@HistoryCalling I'd love to, but I've been in London thrice, and not anywhere else in the UK or Ireland - or most of Europe, for that matter. I swore to myself the next international trip would be to a European country I have not been to, and if I ever find the money for another trip to the UK, I would try to visit other places. Scotland, for example. I've heard so much about its wild beauty and would love to see that for myself. Plus Edinburgh, of course, while I am at it, and Hadrians Wall. Edit: I just had an idea: Would you be interested to make a video about some of the UK's towns and tell us something historically significant about them? For example, Liverpool: As a foreigner, it's the home of the Beatles to me, but I am certain it didn't spring from the ground fully formed in the 1960's. So is there anything significant happening there during the middle ages or, to stay on topic, during the Tudor period? As a citizen at the time of Elizabeth I or James II, what historical event would you connect with your city the most?

@monicacall7532 Год назад

I’m pretty sure that the second set of Tudor Sisters would be thoroughly appalled to discover that they were buried together. Why should it be otherwise? In life Elizabeth, daughter of “The Great Whore”, supplanted Mary at her birth. Mary was, degradingly, forced to be an attendant to her baby sister and was also declared a bastard by their father. Mary, in turn, made Elizabeth’s life a living hell during her own reign and had to deal with a husband who would rather have been married to Little Sister. I’ve read in several biographies of Elizabeth that she never recovered from her time during Mary’s reign when she was either in the Tower on suspicion of treason or was waiting and worrying somewhere else that her end would be like her mother’s. Yikes! Talk about emotional torture! I’d be a wreck too. Perhaps this was another reason why Elizabeth never married. Who could she really trust (besides the Cecils senior and junior plus Walsingham)? She didn’t even trust Robert Dudley completely and he was the person closest to her! At any rate, the burial of their bodies is extremely ironic. Elizabeth definitely got the last laugh.

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Yes, they'd both hate the situation, I'm sure. Yes, Elizabeth did indeed make a reference in later life to her time in the Tower I believe, so I think it left a scar. She was certainly a survivor though.

I’ve never seen the tomb in person and only seen very few photos of it before now. I originally assumed it had effigies of both women laying side by side like tombs for royal couples have, and this just wasn’t visible in the pictures I’d seen. I was very surprised when I first learned (from one of your earlier videos, I think) that only Elizabeth is depicted. I can’t imagine either woman would be happy. Mary would probably be insulted at being buried underneath of her younger sister and hardly even mentioned in the inscriptions, as well as horrified at being in a Protestant church, and disappointed at not being with her mother. Elizabeth would probably be far happier with the tomb but unhappy at having to share it with a sister who’d treated her very poorly during her own reign, especially when there were far more suitable people she could have been buried with. BTW, why is 1603 written on Elizabeth’s coffin if she died in 1602 according to the calender used in her lifetime? Was the date a later edition?

@HistoryCalling Год назад

Elizabeth died right on the line between the calendar years, so I guess that's why they went with 1603. I don't think the year was added later. It's a beautiful tomb. Do go to Westminster Abbey some day if you're able. It's heaven for history nerds like us :-)
