I agree with you Claire, I think Elizabeth was probably affected more by the years of her life with Seymour, her brother, and sister Mary than those years during her father's reign. There are of course those individuals who have a very strong survival mechanism and I think Elizabeth was one of those people.
I figure it must have made a difference that Elizabeth did not really know her mother, unlike Mary, who was torn away from her mother by her father at an age when it had a profound effect on her. Henry treated Elizabeth much more favorably. And Elizabeth had an intelligence and resilience that Mary didn't have. She was (mostly) patient and more understanding of people's foibles. (But she took no s--!) I admire her greatly and was so pleased to sit on a bench and have a few moments with her at Westminster Abbey. Thank you, Claire.
Elizabeth’s intelligence, ability to recognize quality councilors, read her enemies and incredible language skills made her the success she was.
When I see Elizabeth, I see a true Tudor, and I am always drawn to think of her grand-father Henry VII and his mother. They both survived in turbulent times to establish a new royal dynasty. Elizabeth inherited a lot of capability. I agree her admiration for her father, and the fallout from Katherine Parr's marriage to Seymour greatly informed her attitudes for the future.
Would you ever consider doing a video on what if Catherine Howard hadn’t been executed and got an annulment and was sent away just like you did with the video on Anne Boleyn
I always appreciated Elizabeth's diplomatic skills at such an early age. She certainly had a strong survival streak.
Thank you for this one especially. I have mixed feelings about Elizabeth I never marrying. She certainly had every opportunity to see how devastating a marriage could become. The negative examples that Henry VIII and Mary lived through along with the fact that any husband she chose could usurp her reign combined to create the glorious period that we refer to as Elizabethan era.
I wonder what Elizabeth was told about her mother's death and when. As a 3 yo doesn't have a concept of death, and she was placed under the care of several people, she may have felt that people were rarely constant. No matter she valued those who were true to her as her trust had been torn by so many.
It has always been pleasant to reflect that Elizabeth's future queenship is foreshadowed in the best dramatic fashion by the fact that she was first crowned while in her mother's womb. A circumstance which I am sure did not escape her.
Thank you, Claire! I appreciate all the time you put into making this video. Elizabeth I certainly seemed to have inherited the best of her parent’s qualities. She definitely was resilient!
Thank you Claire ☘️
Yes both Mary and Elizabeth suffered in both similar and different ways thanks to their fathers cruelty and constant chopping and changing.
I think it's unfair though, as I've seen some do, to compare Mary and Elizabeth's trauma and the way Mary is seen as a failure while Elizabeth succeeded in life. That Mary's trauma manifested in negative ways while learned from her experiences and it propelled her to work hard and achieve.
As Claire mentioned, Elizabeth was younger than Mary and away from Court so was somewhat shielded compared to Mary. Also Elizabeth didn't see her father as much as Mary did, didn't get to know him as much as Mary had and was still young when her father passed away. Everyone is different and deals with trauma and life's challenges in their own way.
You can't help but admire Elizabeth and the woman and ruler she became. She wasn't the Prince her father wanted but he couldn't have hoped for and dreamt of a better and more successful Tudor monarch than she. And given what happened to Anne, I and others I'm sure can't help but be a little bit smug that it was Anne's daughter than became one of England's greatest ever monarchs if not the greatest.
I Love Elizabeth
Interesting video. I have always felt sorry for his legitimate children.
Love the Tudor lady figurine on your book case.
🇭🇲 I found your talk about the resilience of Queen Elizabeth 1st so very interesting, and even though I had heard
and known 'some' things said, you brought out so much more than I'd ever really thought about before. Finding myself (at times) hanging on your every word.
You asked for what we thought about Elizabeth. The young girl, the teenager, the woman, and the Queen; but I really can't add to what you have said and to what 'others' have written.
OTHER than to say that I think that she was much stronger than anyone EVER thought she would be, and that 👑 Queen Elizabeth 1st definitely earned her place in history, as one of the greatest female Monarchs to have ever lived. Especially, given the times in which she lived.
I really enjoyed listening to this video and seeing you 👏👏 and "Thank you" so much Claire 😊 👋
Well I'm home. Everything didn't work for a while. On the mend now at home. Having my breast bone spit. I can only imagine to be Hung Drawn and Quarter would feel. Took a week for the Pain to ease. Watching you always Inspires me. Thank You Claire
Thanks again Claire. Elizabeth fascinates the world for hundreds of years.
I agree with Claire's assessment of Thomas Seymour's behaviour to Elizabeth as grooming, rather than abuse. I suspect he was creating plan B of a possible marriage with Elizabeth rather than seduction, as ultimately happened, his wife dted.
The longer I live, the more I love her.☆♤♡◇♡♤☆
Both of them must have suffered a severe dose of PTSD! Do you think that Elizabeth never married because of her father ordering the beheading of her mother? Thanks
Perhaps. Also she had seen two step mothers- Jane Seymour and Katherine Parr die of childbirth. Scary
@@signespencer6887 ...And a step-mother beheaded.
I believe that Elizabeth learn a lot with everything that happen to her sister Mary I , also Elizabeth was intelligent and very interesting woman 100% prepared for be that excellent queen she was
Claire, What swell videos you make. I think "the healthy dose of pragmaticntism" is the first quality that saved Elizabeth the First. It is great to learn from your work the insights into the people I admire. Just so you know I am watching from The San Joaquin Valley of California, Fresno.
I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for all the interesting information!
I believe she was a lot like her father, but without the life- altering injuries. She was certainly incredibly savvy and practical.
Really interesting analysis.
We'll never know why but it really bugs me as to why Katharine Parr participated in Thomas Seymour's inappropriate grooming of young Elizabeth.
Katharine Parr is one of my favourite of Henry's Queens and Tudor figures. A woman ahead of her time who achieved great things and could've achieved so much more had times and situations been different.
For me and many others I'm sure, back then and now, Katherine was a true lady and who held a flawless reputation but that incident when Katharine held Elizabeth down while Thomas tore Elizabeth's clothing has sort of soiled Katharine's reputation, coloured people's opinion of her and puzzled some such as myself. It just doesn't fit with what we imagine Katharine was like or what we do know of her.
While that incident and any others Katharine knew about and was involved in was and is highly inappropriate and should not have happened, I personally think Katharine did it out of desperation. She loved Thomas for whatever reason and didn't want to lose him or his love after three childless marriages so went along with his inappropriate behaviour in order to please him. Later we know, Katharine sent Elizabeth away for what I hope was out of protection. When in confinement/ childbed, it's said that Katharine ranted and raved that Thomas wanted her dead and out of the way which may show that Katharine was aware of Thomas's badness and tried to protect Elizabeth in the end as she had done so many times
I do believe that unlike Thomas, Katharine was a good person deep down with good intentions and morals that were skewed at times. While Katharine survived Henry as they say, she did suffer in life and in death. Katharine went through four marriages to become a mother and sadly didn't live to see that dream fulfilled. Whatever happened to that poor longed for child is another upsetting story and mystery.
Great video, thanks
Enjoyed this
Thank you for videos that are informative and fun. In your opinion, at what point in history did the threat of the various usurpers to the throne seem to die down once and for all? It seems like after Elizabeth's long reign (or maybe then James) the business of 'usurping' 😅was officially a thing of the past. So then what is now the most recent, or previous, time that someone diligently tried to challenge to sit on the throne?
Fabulous
Can you imagine what it must’ve been like to be the person who had to explain to Elizabeth that her father had had her mother executed? And then 5 years later have her stepmother also executed? It probably didn’t mean a lot when she was young, but can you imagine the trauma she experienced later on? Throw in a sexually abusive stepfather when she was a young teenager and it’s not hard to understand why she was unwilling to get married!
All of the Tudor children were incredibly intelligent. I don’t know if this came from their father or their mothers.
I think Elizabeth though of her mother marriage to Henry as invalid... we modern people now recognize what Henry and Anne had was marriage, but once Anne was gone, most people there in history would see that marriage as bigamy as Catherine was alive at the time of vows. I always though Jane Seymour words that preceded execution of Anne as something that had huge impact on Henry and might be what influenced Henry further to execute Anne.
I wonder if Seymour thinking it would be ok to molest Elizabeth had to do with his perception of Anne Boleyn: a like mother, like daughter thing (all the yuck!).
Elizabeth was an intelligent person who learned much from those around her. I agree that she was probably too young to have her mother's execution and her change in status affect her too much psychologically.
Mary's reign (and England at the time really thought that a woman could not reign) taught Elizabeth a lot. She even cribbed some of Mary's speeches. It says so much of the misogyny of the era that one queen had to look towards a king, her equal in status for marriage partners and the other wanted nothing to do with marriage, as she observed it could cause problems of the perception of a foreign power exerting too much influence on her country. Elizabeth's experience of being with Mary during the flaring up of her reproductive cyst(s), a medical condition that would have mimicked the symptoms of a pregnancy and would have been unknown at the time, would probably have sworn most people off of bearing children.
Verbal typo. Jane was Lady Jane DUDLEY by the time of Mary’s engagement to Felipe.
She's still known to history as Lady Jane Grey, just like Lady Katherine Grey, Lady Margaret Douglas etc.
