I mean if you think about it she dodged a bullet. The Habsburg bloodline is not it 💀 They're notorious for inbreeding and genetic disorders, not to mention the fact that Elizabeth was protestant vs the catholic Spanish
Regarding the succession. The Anglo-Scottish Detente of the last 16th Century is one of the most under-studied events in British history. How was it that the two greatest powers in the British Isles were to not just undo centuries of rivalry but also ultimately unify as (to all intense and purposes) a single political unit? I would argue that it was a mixture of:- 1. The Reformation splitting Scotland off from France. 2. Robert Cecil's magnificent diplomacy 3. Ireland. As in the English and the Scots buried their hatchet in Ireland.

María Tudor was half Spanish and half English. She was the daughter of Catherine of Aragon, the Spanish Queen of England. Many Italian and Portuguese poets and playwrights wrote her works in Spanish. After 1650 the influence of France came until 1945, when French is the most important language in Europe. We can talk about Rome 1,000 or 2,000 years ago, the United States since 1945, and China in the 21st century.
After the 2nd generation they were no longer Norman. It's pretty much the international consensus that the Normans became "naturales Angli" and proud of their "Anglorum patria" by the end of Henry II's reign, past that, chroniclers and writers of the era seem to have seen "Normannis" as antiquated legal and everybody is simply called "Angli" instead. Even in tournament records from Richard I's reign, the nobles in England are called English.The Saxons and the Normans merged very quickly after the conquest because they were very similar in the first place. People will happily tell you that Saxon word for food was split between French and Old English. What they don’t tell you is that the vast majority of military terms remained Old English. Knights, yeoman, sword, shield. Even aristocratic titles remained Germanic long after the conquest: Earl, Baron. This is because a lot of young Norman men, very quickly adopted Saxon styles. It is quite funny when you hear the Saxons complain that their young men were cutting their their hair in the Danish/Norman style (back of the head shaved) and the Normans were complaining that their boys were growing moustaches like the Saxons. Saxon and Norman names shared roots, so It was not hard to merge the two. Hrotgar became Roger , Hrothberth became Robert and Athelwulf became Adolf , Hemric became Henry. Similarly , Normans adopted Saxon names like Audrey, Edward, Alfred and Edith. The Norman kings went to great lengths to maintain that they were the legitimate heirs to the monarchy. Henry I married Edgar Athelings grand daughter to merge the House of Normandy with the House of Wessex. Anglo-Saxon (mainly)+Briton+Norman (by the 1200s)=English. If you remove any of it, it is no longer English.
Never heard of the English 'Counter Armada.' Then again, I didn't know the Spanish launched several Armadas following the original one, which all came to a dismal end.
Not the bad weather. The tide is very strong in The Channel, making it impossible for lumbering galleons to even reach the English coast. The English and Dutch had evolved the galleon concept into the 'fast galleon' that had much better handling and did not just rely on running before the wind.
Spain sent 10 large invasion fleets to England, over 4 centuries. The Royal Navy was almost always lost at sea, appearing only twice: in 1588 and 1805. Invasion of southern England in 1377, 1380-81, 1411. A Spanish fleet of 4,000 soldiers and Spanish nobles (commanded by Duke de Alba) arrived in England in 1554. Philip II then became King of England and Ireland, by marrying Mary Tudor. Spain sent 4 invasion fleets, between 100-130 ships in 1588, 1596, 1597 and 1718 (all stopped by storms). A sunny day and... In 1589, without storms, Spain destroyed Drake's invincible fleet, sinking 80 ships. Elisabeth was so angry that she sentenced Drake to be a lighthouse keeper. Spanish blockade of England in 1779-80, with the capture of two fleets of 24 and 55 British ships, with the collapse of the London stock market. That is why Spain gives the Spanish dollar to the United States, and independence (contribution). The goal was to invade England, but the French allies were scared off. If England were not an island, she would have been invaded in 4 weeks by Philip II, Napoleon, Germany... Amphibious invasions are always difficult. England/UK and the Netherlands lost 62 ships in the attack on Cádiz in 1625. The Royal Navy was defeated at Cartagena de Indias, 1741, losing 50 ships. Nelson was defeated 3 times by Spain, in 1797, in Cádiz, Central America and Tenerife, where he lost his arm and was captured. The British expedition managed to reach Buenos Aires and Montevideo, in 1806-07, but they were defeated, the redcoats and their generals being captured.
Something interesting to note: Philip of Spain constantly talked about how unattractive Mary was to him, and even went as far as to say she disgusted him. 😂
"King Edward the Sickth" Well, yeah, he was generally unwell. But c. @2: He was Bloody Mary's (step-)brother, not her "brother-in-law". [His aunt, Dorothy Seymour [Queen Jane's sister], was my 13th great-grandmother. And that's my less-than-10-minute Tudor history.]
The faerie queen. I almost my early English lit class when our instructor, after spending 4 classes going over book one, assigned us the reading and interpretation of book two. I was a English lit grad student and in fact love reading and analyzing most everything from the Middle English period to present, but that poem, ugh.

Thank you for stating the truth about the downfall of the Spanish Armada rather than repeating the good ole British propaganda that Elizabeth and her army defeated them.
Elizabeth didn't 'fail to secure an heir', she played it all the way to the end, her mother (Ann Boylean) had been beheaded, and Elizabeth knew she would lose her control if she married. hence no husband, no heir, on purpose.
Funny how Catholic identity is so big but it was the pope that basically treated Ireland like free real estate he could hand over to English Kings if they played nice with Rome.
@@britishpatriot7386 first the English did the same and is a few years of ransacking justification for 800 years, 2 genocides and centuries of brutality. I suppose the Indians deserved the bengal famine because they didn't have dinner once
4:16 Hold it. The expression is TOE the line. It's a reference to military drills where soldiers were so precisely arranged that their toes were exactly on an imaginary line so they looked all tidy and stuff. Lots of people, including this video's author, think the expression is TOW the line, as in "everyone is in this together and we're towing some kind of rope/line to get the job done." They are wrong. Wikipedia: Misspelling as "tow the line" "Toe the line" is often misspelled "tow the line", substituting a familiar verb "tow" for the unfamiliar verbal use of "toe." "Tow" does not accord with any of the proposed etymologies, so "tow the line" is a linguistic eggcorn.[13][14]
James wasn't just related, he was the rightful heir by blood and lineage. He was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, who was the daughter of James V, who was the son of James IV, who had been married to the sister of Henry VIII. He was the eldest surviving descendant of Henry VII, as both of the agnatic lines were extinct. So there wasn't a challenge to his claim because there really was no challenger.
In another alternate history, Elizabeth I has heir. Britain won the Washington Rebellion but lost in Napoleonic war and fled to New World, created Holy Britannian Empire.
I'm missing the mention of the English Vincible Armada sent to invade Spain the year after the Spanish Armada trip to England. It was larger than the Spanish, it had over 180 ships, of which only returned about 90 after being heavily defeated in La Coruña and in the Açores islands. Of course the poor performance of the Chief Commander, the pirate Drake, was one (but not the only one) of the root reasons of the British defeat. Please check on your favourite sources of information.
Referring to a coup when talking about Mary Tudor’s entrance into London is a constitutional error. Edward VI did not have the power to change the succession without an Act of Parliament, so Henry VIII’s will was valid and there was in fact no “Queen” Jane. Jane had little support outside the city, and when Elizabeth supported Mary and entered the city beside her, opposition wilted and it was clear that the lawful succession would prevail. The attempt at a coup was on behalf of the hapless Jane, not Mary.
There's a lot wrong with this in the Irish context but the main one is that the 9 Years War "rebellion" was centered in Ulster (the north) and not Munster (The South). However it ended in the south at the battle of Kinsale due to the Spanish incompetence of landing on the wrong side of the island.
After her death there was never an English Queen or king again, Scotland inherits England Ireland and Wales and Scots king moves to England guess warmer weather, ever after Great Britain under the Stuart dynasty was either Scottish or German in terms of the Royal Family
I'm surprised you didn't mention Elizabeth's noteworthy courtier, Edmund Blackadder, especially when one of his descendants went on to be King of England after replacing Prince George....
James title also included the isle of rum. This place was in what is now Indonesia. It was a major source of spices and very valuable.. Eventually the dutch swapped New York for it
It gave the Dutch control of all the Banda Islands (part of the Moluccas), giving them monopoly on nutmeg and mace which was extremely lucrative until the British found others place besides the Bandas where the nutmeg tree would grow. For much of the eighteenth century, this deal was in favor of the Dutch.
Just out of curiosity, why do you keep pronouncing Philip the French way (ie Philippe)? The Spanish spelling (and pronunciation) is Feliipe, no silent letters. However, it's normal to use the English equivalent Philip when speaking of writing in English.
Beheadings, burnings, wars, betrayals, priests hanged drawn and quartered. All that for personal ambition and official religions. Please tell me we’ve learned _something_ from all that.
Poor Lady Jane Grey. She was technically third in line, but her father-in-law tried to force a change in succession in order to maintain power (Henry VIII's last will made Jane Grey's family next after his kids if they all died childless.) Without the plan being passed by Parliament, his attempt at using Jane as a pawn was doomed to fail.

Poor Lady Jane Grey. She was technically third in line, but her father-in-law tried to force a change in succession in order to maintain power (Henry VIII's last will made Jane Grey's family next after his kids if they all died childless.) Without the plan being passed by Parliament, his attempt at using Jane as a pawn was doomed to fail.
Just before 3:00, who was Mary's brother in law?
I think he meant to say "half-brother", i.e. Edward VI
I really like your work
If Edward VI had lived to an old age, he would have been one of the best leaders in human history!
Comparing Spain with England, you can say Spain won.
Really? There's a reason the English language took over the world.
Did he say, "King Edward the sick"???? If not, he should have. If he did, Well played sir; well played.
