This is a pretty good series as long as none of the female leads (particularly Elizabeth) are on screen. The male actors have passions, the female actress' are sleep walking. I don't know why. History accuracy probably not particularly high.
While I agree with you with regards to Elizabeth, I will say that the actress playing Mary did a good job in her role. Between the two, Mary should have been the lead female character in the series. The show may have lasted more than a single season if it did.
@@arashi3483 Yeah I agree. Mary should've been lead but even she only verbally fights. The females even her seem to sleep walk next to the passion of the males. Then they canceled it on top of everything else
Wel in that time no female was going to fight physically not even the Quwen of England ifbshe was married, unless she dealt with traitors. Women answered to men back then. Mary's protestant brother was on the throne, nd his uncles and Norfolk ran the country. Mary's male cousin may have been the emperor, but he was busy in his own wars to keep threatening England over his unmarried female cousin, who had no stake in the crown over Henry's direct son(he also agreed England needed a son for stability). Mary also believed in her brother's God given right as their father's true heir to rule and knew it was best for England. The catholics like Mary also recognized Edward's right to rule as true heir, and England needed a male heir. The catholics were also zealously prosecuted during the Edwars's reign. Mary couldn't be physical outside of using her cosuk as a threat. Or when Edward looked like he might not make it and Mary raised an eyebrow at Dudley to say, "I'm gonna be your queen in a few days. What were you saying and doing again? Do you need a neck massage?"
Probably not drunk but definetely stupid and mad (and far too ambitious). The beginning of the end of Thomas Seymour.
He was far too ambitious. That was his downfall
I think he was bipolar, which was untreatable at the time, and unrecognised. He took some INSANE risks.
Okay he's lost the plot here! Absolutely ambitious. Thanks for posting Lili!
He was far too ambitious and that was the cause of his own downfall .
Overweening ambition without the necessary critical thinking ability.
He got it easy, even for a noble that would easly won him a drawn, hanging and quartering for his troubles.
The cause of his downfall was his own stupid ambition and greed for more power
What did the Joker say in the Dark Knight ? They're schemers.
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life.
