BREAKING Into The Tombs Of The Tudors

- The most notorious and shocking royal family to rule over England was the Tudors. The Tudor monarchs despite only ruling for just over a century would change the face of the country forever, with huge alterations to religion being brought into the nation. The Tudor times were a time of bloodshed and execution, with some of the most high profile members of society being brutally killed in the name of the King’s justice. Henry VIII executed two of his own wives inside the Tower of London, and some of his closest friends would also meet their maker on Tower Hill. But Mary I, Henry’s daughter would also instigate a reign of terror in which many were burned at the stake. But after the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, the Tudor era came to an abrupt end. Previous monarchs had envisioned that the House of Tudor would remain on the throne for centuries after. Most of the Tudor monarchs were buried inside of Westminster Abbey, and the only real outlier in this was King Henry VIII who was buried at St Georges Chapel in Windsor Castle. But in the centuries after, the tombs of the Tudor monarchs were opened and broken into, by a curious dean of Westminster Abbey, who found out some remarkable secrets.
I think it's pretty cool that they got to look inside the vaults of these burials. They get to learn something from them as opposed to just cold storage. Not everybody feels that way about it so I understand.
This completely takes my breath away. I am keeping it. All these names ( so familiar from the past) lt must have been unforgettable for those who came upon Henry Henry vii s crypt. I always feel sad about Edward, Henry viii s son. Thank you so very much for this. 💞🥀
I find this so cruel and disrespectful to the dead. I don't want anyone opening up any of my family or myself graves
That is right. I don’t care what the reason is but once someone is buried let them be so they can rest in peace! 💗
Awesome video. I love these trips into history!!
Yet another stellar little documentary from Her Remarkable History.It's satisfying there are others with a curiosity about macabre afterlife of the Tudors.
As exalted as many of these personages were in life ,I find it appalling that they were disturbed in death to resolve someone's curiosity and/or greed after any treasures to be had .I am in agreement with many other commenters here ... Allow them to rest in peace!
I agree. This is the age lacking reverence and respect.
You do not mention a single word about Prince Arthur elder son of King Henry VII !!!!l
So terrible that even kings and queens couldn't count on a peaceful rest for their bones...
To think about all the people who died all because Henry married Ann B. All the people in Bloody Marys Reign to some in Elizabeth's reign. Because of he wouldn't have done that to Catherine so many chips would not have fallin they way they did.
Yes. Henry VIII was an awful king yet at the same time greatly respected and remembered. All he ever cared about was what he wanted. So I hope he is rotting in hell now!
It's perfectly fine to call Queen Mary I by her name as opposed to Bloody Mary at almost every opportunity in numerous videos
Right? I wish she would call her by her name.
@Ivy Rose Me too. It annoys me everytime I hear her called that in these videos.
These queens...they were all pretty bloody.
It’s a pity that Mary I was not buried at Peterborough Cathedral as she requested in her will. She desired to be buried with her mother, Katherine of Aragon, who she loved so very much ❤.
She was called Bloody Mary for a VERY good treason. A religious nutcase who burned loads of people.
Sounds like someone doesn't like Mary I...
Yes. Calling her “Bloody Mary” Prather than “Mary I” most of the time could almost imply she wasn’t a Monarch. All the others are called by their official titles so Mary should as well.
@@winifredrobinson5132 perhaps. But a more appropriate name would have been her actual title, which is Mary I of England. Mary I of England and Mary I of Scotland are easy ways to define them. Or better yet, Mary I of England and Mary Queen of Scots.
@@muttstersmart They should call Henry viii the hore king but they don’t they pick on his innocent daughter
At what point as a church "official" do you have the right to decide that you are a bit fed up, so will desecrate a load of tombs ?
see bonz
"Wewlkum, I 'm a bloody awful Papist!"
This is amazing. I always wondered if anybody ever opened any of the crypts. I still don't understand why Mary and Elizabeth were buried together.
It is genrally understood that despite their public difference of religion in secret they had had a physical relationship for around five years, this was frowned upon at the time as they were cousins but most were frightened to speak ill of the queen. Elizabeth never married for this reason and referred to Mary in code as luxy pronounced Luck-sea.
@@wendyHew You are trying to suggest that they were intimate with each other?
@@thomasszymanski1107 Yes it was unofficial at the time but is generally acknowledged now. I think that anyone who saw them together would have feared for their lives if they reported it. Not only were they cousins but the whole Catholic and protestant thing would have been an issue. The name Luxy was mentioned in a diary of someone in her court after the fact.
@@wendyHew Well they were 1/2 sisters and not cousins. Elizabeth's uncle and mother (Anne Boleyn) were tried for suggestions of incest. I have yet to see any credible information suggesting that the two sisters were intimate - ever. If you truly think that, I would reach out to Claire Rigway with The Anne Boleyn Files and the Tudor Society. I cannot even begin to entertain this without her stamp.
@@thomasszymanski1107 Ah yes sisters sorry my mistake I don't know what made my type cousins. Yes it is strange that there was that incidence of incest too although this is thought to just be an unfounded accusation to give reason for divorce,perhaps this incident or the knowledge of it normalised it for the sisters or somehow mandé the act less innapropriate in their minds. Claire Ridgeway should be aware of this information but I think the leading authority on the Monarchs of Britain would be Saved Starkey and I have watched a video on his TH-cam channel that talks of their relationship, I think that is where I heard the information about the nickname Luxy infact.
People tend to forget that James VI/I was the grandson of Margaret Tudor, the older daughter of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York. Thus, the Stewart monarchs of Britain after 1603 were also descendants of the Tudors.
Thanks for pointing that Fact out, about my own DNA Tudor family @Mary Ellen Cook. You are Very Kind & Bless You! : )
@@HelenTudor-Douglas you are welcome. People forget about Margaret Tudor-Stewart in British History. She was greatly under rated in my opinion.
Great-grandson. Margaret was the mother of James V, father of Mary Queen of Scots, who in turn was the mother of James VI/I.
@@agroves76 thank you. I always seem to forget that one generation.
@@maryellencook9528 I do too-- they are all related in multiple ways, and that doesn't help either!
Bravo! Well done! I enjoyed this very much. Looking forward to your next!
What about Queen Jane Grey? She may have only been queen for a short time, but she was still queen!
Love your videos they are brilliant. And I truly love all the remarkable bits of remote history like knowing King Edward VI died at 8pm, this channel is such a treasure trove of wonderful information, thank you for making these.
I find it abhorrent that these tombs were disturbed at all , let alone by a prominent member of the church . I have no religion but if a person has been entombed / buried , let them be
I know. It is terrible to disturb someone's remains like that and for no good reason either.
The dead don't care but the living may learn new things by examining the graves.
I don’t agree with that sentiment I’m afraid. Dean Stanley’s research has proved to be an invaluable source of information for academics and those interested in the subject generally. It is no different from Howard Carter’s discovery of Tutankhamen. Think of all that we have leaned by the endeavours of the those before us who have furthered our knowledge.
Respectfully research, and respectfully re-inter.
It is sad to think that once peacefully interred m, they should be disturbed.
I realise that historians are curious, but I wonder how they might feel that a loved one had been disturbed.
Personally I think the people should be buried as close to their desires as possible, for instance Mary and Elizabeth should at least be separated, and I think Henry VIII should get his coffin repaired to prevent any unneeded damage to his remains. And Anne Boleyn too.
As famous as the Tudor family remains, no family caused so much destruction
Although, it remains sad that all of their many tombs were broken, or disturbed
Are we talking the UK or everywhere, because I would argue King Tut's father and family caused more destruction.
I would like to see a video on all the people who were murdered all because of his choice to marry Ann. Him changing the religion made Mary kill so many and even some in Elizabeth's reign its so sad.
@@Justme0288 Henry VIII's list is vast, as he also put unnamed civilians to death. If Edward VI., or Mary I., had lived longer, they would of continued their fathers tyrannical path of religious reform. Elizabeth I., and her grandfather Henry VII., were far from a Saints either. The Tudor's executed thousands under their Rule, but also destroyed churches, monasteries, castles, homes, books, paintings, and historical treasures.
(it's so sad) NO records can ever fully show, or list ALL that WE LOST in their 3 generations, spanning just 118 years.
@@straingedays Your right. They killed whole families. Ended family names. The Tudor dynasty ended with Elizabeth and while I do think she was a great queen thankfully she was the last Tudor. For family that could have been so great they are mostly remembered for their cruel actions.
Have you not read about the Normans? Or the Plantagenets? Your rather sweeping statement is questionable.
Fascinating really. I’m a 50 something year old guy living in the USA and I’m so interested in anything and all things Tudor era
Glad someone else loves the Tudors I love reading about them and I loved the series The Tudors hope you got it in the states
Hello @JM , I'm a Very Proud DNA Tudor descendant. Although I "knew this in my heart" from birth, I was glad to have it all sorted with DNA technology. Pembroke Castle in Wales is a fascinating place to visit, to learn of the origins of King Henry 7th.
@@HelenTudor-Douglas c.
I understand that Elizabeth I was more important in history but it feels wrong to have her buried on top of Mary.
I agree even though she was one of the best monarch’s of england
How the hell do you lose a king?
Guy 1: Do you have the king? 😮
Guy 2: I thought YOU had the king! 😮
Guys 1 & 2: Where's the KING? We lost the goddamn KING! 😱
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahhahahaah that bull fucking funny
Is it just me, or does the bust on the right in the first shot look like Elon Musk? 😆
It does! 😂
Hmm, i thought we were going to see their corpses, "breaking into the toombs." ??
Absolutely brilliant. One critique, though, if I may. Mary I deserves better than to be repeatedly called "Bloody Mary". Few have had better reason to be as angry and vengeful. Her entire adult life was one shocking injustice after another. She displayed, always, the very utmost in dignity, grace, and strength. And she did the right thing taking the throne. She COULD have taken it from Edward, but didn't. She could have executed Elizabeth, but didn't. Mary is a complex character, but above all else, she WAS a Queen, and just deserves better than a child's game nickname to be remembered by.
How on earth could she have taken the throne from Edward ?
@@chookfeather Easily.
She DID persecute/kill innocent Christians, hence the moniker “Bloody” that’s deserving.
@@bellarose8511 Incorrect. She was a devout Catholic as was all of Europe and Britain at the time. Her Father, Henry VIII founded the Protestant Church of England because he wouldn't be granted leisure to divorce and remarry at random. Surely, you know at least that much. Mary took her rightful place as Queen after Edward's death and did her duty to the Church. She was no more bloody than any Monarch before or after her. Her life was tragic, she did what she believed was right, and she deserves better than to be remembered as some child's tale. Learn your history from sources other than Showtime, and then come talk to me. My PhD is always looking for a new theory to debate.
@@bellarose8511 Also, the mythology has become inflated over time. Mary only ordered the executions of 287 Protestants including 56 women. When I say "only", I mean as opposed to the rest of England. It was widely-enough understood that Mary herself had been through something similar when she was forced to sign her father's Oath that most of the realm's Protestants were willing to say yes to save their lives, and continue to believe what they wanted in private. The ones she had executed displayed outright rebellion against the Queen's authority. Mary was neither cruel, nor vengeful. She never WANTED to execute anyone, and went to great lengths to avoid it when she should have done it sooner (Jane Grey), but she was a Queen during one of England's most tumultuous eras. You can't allow open rebellion. If you don't shut it down, it will grow bigger than you.
Sorry if I came off angry in my last reply. I WAS angry, but it wasn't at you. I love people who are interested in history, and I don't believe shouting at them will make them want to stick around and learn more. I apologize. I DO hope you make it worth your time to learn more about Mary I. Her story reads like a telenovela, and she was every bit the lady throughout. I think if you get to know her, you'll like her. I recommend this one. It's raw and unbiased. Just the history with no personal interpretations. th-cam.com/video/84-iAoTIZkM/w-d-xo.html If you decide to give it a go, let me know what you think.
Why aren't they allowed to rest in peace? It's not history, it's desecration and it is WRONG.
Wasn't his daughter Mary, known by the moniker "Bloody Mary"?
Era Maria la Cattolica.
A well earned adjective.
Unfortunately, since Henry VIII dissolved many monasteries, it made the tombs of previous kings and queens very vulnerable to break-ins. The monks and nuns weren’t able to protect the tombs anymore. Even after the death of the Tudors, their burial locations weren’t very safe because they didn’t have anyone guarding the tombs.
I loved this. Thank you.❤
They should have no right to open their tombs!that's good they were not desterbed again as it should be for the dead.
its like for the math will never give math but instead social studies
I agree, leave them be
Crazy Henry Vlll has returned and resides in the body of Prince Harry. He has the exact same mix of crazy and evil and if you compare facial expressions it’s uncanny.
You may have a point, there!😱😹🤪🇨🇦
But unlike Henry VIII, Harry will never be King.
Grave robbers ?
Cavernous!
OH my God
But what are the wood sculptures you showed. Who are they? And where are they stored?
That's the bust of Henry 7th and Elizabeth of York and I believe they are at Westminster Abby.
Many thx. I really like the one of Henry 7th. He looks careworn. Thanks for telling me.
Funeral effigies
I think it fitting to call somebody bloody who murdered over religious belief. Thou shalt not kill is a commandment. I know the others killed, but not in the name of religion.
She wasn’t any bloodier than the other Tudors.
@@ivyrose779 She was in that she killed in the name of Christianity. She also killed a lot of people. Wouldn't you say it is nullifies the whole subject to kill in the name of Christ? What if some of those people went to hell? Mary Queen of Scotts, who was also Catholic, conspired to kill Queen Elizabeth and would not give up on trying is why she was finally beheaded. It's strange to say your morality gets you into heaven but you break the very moral rules you are supposed to be living by.
what no others killed in the name of religion Elizibeth 1st killed many catholics all through history there have been wars and killings in the name of religion
@@kelliepollard9958 The others were killed in the name of the church of England.
Also she burned hundreds of people at the stake over her religious beliefs.
Don’t forget Henry 7 th - he’s back as Brian 🌹 Rose.
