- Professor Alice Roberts and the Digging for Britain team take us on a journey of the greatest archeological discoveries from Northern Britain. Archeologists attempt to discover the truth about Lady Jane Grey's childhood home, and uncover a 16th century garderobe (medieval toilet) in the process with 600-year-old excrement still inside. Another team is on the hunt for a long lost viking drinking hall, while another discover a treasure trove of ancient Roman goodies.

It's important that history like this isn't wiped away.
Oh, that is sooo bad!😂
@@virginiajayhudgins8277 I did what I did, and I'd do it again!
Oh my god the snicker that left my mouth 😂
Yes, it's really horrible the way people poo-poo history these days.
I tell people I my toilet is 600 years old , BUT it only just looks that way.
I run a modern burial ground and it often intrigues me at what gets deposited in graves even in modern times. So when various grave goods are turned up and the archaeologists go into all sorts of flights of fancy about 'high status' or 'wealthy communities' I always consider my own experience. I've seen very poor people throwing ornate gold and silver jewellery into graves, I've seen household objects thrown in, I've even seen an iPod placed on the coffin lid. I've frequently had coffins with pets in them, I've had an elderly gent buried with a set of compasses and professional drawing pens and a lady buried in a proper glittery ball gown. All this in a burial ground about hundred metres square and 120 years old. Imagine what silliness future archaeologists might make of that lot :-) . The truth is we can never know what was going through the minds of the bereaved at the graveside and whether grave goods mean what we 'think' they mean.
You are spot on. In college I did a survey of a cemetery in Pickens County, AL, USA. Some of my own ancestors are buried there as is my late husband and some of his family. I absolutely love the history there for the taking just reading the stones; not just the words themselves, but the designs, size, locations within family areas, the "directions" of placement, etc.
Sadly our histories here in the US are nowhere near as long or well recorded as those in the UK. There are so many cemeteries that are no longer known today.
Think that may be one of the reasons I so enjoy these programs from the UK.
Thank you, all of you who provide such gifts to your loyal fans and supporters.
Good point but remember they didn't have multiple mass produced goods. So every bowl and cup was important. And if plac3d in a grave lost to the living and dedicated to the lost. That puts it way out of a modern 'perspective' of how goods were valued. So every object was hard won. Not exactly the same as an ipad you can get at any store. I think we need to appreciate the archaeologists that have very extensive experience in these digs. Plus remember many of these goods were traded hard and won hard. Valued beyond today's understanding. Some of these digs are pre- christ or only 300 t0 400 years post Christ,
People have been depositing objects with the bodys for thousands of years. Even though we understand they can not take the things with them we still do it .
Even though it seems like silliness, people are buried with pets, in ball gowns, with ipods, or expensive pens because it meant something to them. The things people are buried with have profound meaning beyond whether or not they were wealthy or had high status.
I really like this program. But today I'm irritable, anxious and inattentive. So I'll just close my eyes and travel into Alice Roberts' melodious voice. There is no better remedy for stress. This teacher's voice is more therapeutic than 10,000 psychoanalysis sessions.

And she's so pretty, too!
I've always felt profoundly sorry for Lady Jane Grey. Through no fault of her own she got caught up in political machinations over which she had no influence and paid for it with her life.
We don't call her Queen Jane because she never had a coronation? Neither did King Edward VIII.
BECAUSE of fkn religion
The movie “Lady Jane” is such a good historical movie.
@@michaeltelson9798 It’s historically flawed….google it.
She was named Queen. She should at least get a name in the royal books etc. she’s always left out. Disgusting😮
Having walked around Bradgate park a thousand times and living in Anstey for some years i always thought Bradgate ruins was her home. Totally amazed at what can be found out via an excavation. Loved this episode as i felt it has put some of the stories regarding Lady Janes home into perspective. Cool.
Thank you so much for this amazing episode. Alice Roberts is magnificent.
Another superb episode in this outstanding and well presented series, anchored by the quixotic and mesmeric Prof. Alice Roberts.By Introducing digs across extended time frames, this makes for fascinating and satisfying viewing, to emphasis the passage of so many peoples, and in doing to complements our current understanding, whilst adding additional previously unknown information of our earlier ancestors. A quite marvelous series, both in concept and delivery :)
Edward VIII never had a coronation, why don't we just call him Dave?
I'm starting a campaign to call her Queen Jane!
When my kids were little we allowed them to say Oh Coprolite when they were really frustrated lol it was funny and got some really surprised looks when people asked us what it means hahahaha
another fantastic voyage into history, thank you very much
I want a "coprolite happens" t-shirt.
And during the time of the so-called "potato famine", food was being exported from Ireland to England to feed the English people, mostly the wealthy who could afford it. Also, during this time, the Sultan of Turkey offered food shipments and aid to Ireland which was turned away and refused by the English government.
Just before the American revolution, Benjamin Franklin, who had been an anglophile, made an ambassadorial visit to Ireland and England, came away with a different perspective and frequently used the word "slavery" in referring to relations with England.
Such poverty conditions and "workhouses" persisted right up to the onset of the Irish Revolution in 1916, even as many Irish soldiers, driven by poverty, were fighting for England in places like Iraq and India.
The narrative about the Irish potato famine is that it was uniquely Irish and that many escaped it by emigrating to North America. The reality is the potato blight affected most of Europe and many many Irish emigrated to mainland UK.
@@aib0160 what year was the famine, i cant remember
@@GailBrenner-vt9ou1845
I will tell my children that Alice Roberts was the Queen of england.
Yes she is 💜
Thanks Alice enjoyed it
While the potato famine did effect the diet and restrict PART of the food staple of the Irish people....that wasn't ALL the Irish people ate. They had a wide variety of foods. Meat, vegetables, grains, etc. What DID happen...that the British professor Dr. Alice Robert's purposely left out was that the Britsh military took advantage of this blight and of the Irish people they had just recently put even further under their thumb. The potato blight ALSO affected the British people as well, however, they came to Ireland and went town to town, stealing the food stores of any stored/preserved vegetables and/or meats and grains. Now, the Irish people were left with nothing, starving to death. THAT is why many died, or, forced to flee to America.
Don't let those poor, subjugated starved Irish people..some who paid with their lives...be forgotten and written out of history, by morons that choose to leave their story out of a documentary like this, and just gloss over what the BRITISH did to them.
Shame on you History Hit!
Fabulous episode
just like to say if lady jane grey was born 1537 and now is 2024 so if the sh#t is 600 years old it is not hers
Bad math but sound logic
Exactly what I was thinking
To be able to live in England or my birth place Germany and dig to find artifacts of the past even before the Roman’s is my wish before I pass away and become history. Now adays people are being cremated. By watching these kinds of shows makes me want to be buried so future generations can find my bones and whatever I’m buried with.
I'm an American and lived in Baden Württemberg for a time and I was really shocked by modern German burial practices. Is it possible to have an eternal burial plot in modern Germany? Where I was living, I was told the family of the deceased pays an annual fee to the cemetery for the plot and once there is no one left to pay the annual fee, the plot is "prepared' for another occupant. I understood this was a polite way of saying that the previous occupant was removed and this was in practice because of the limited amount of land available for use as cemeteries. I still find it hard to believe, so any insight you have would be interesting.
Remember to pick some incongruous objects for example: a stone tablet, mortar and pestle, a sword, a metal bodied camera, and a metal 🔦. Really mess with those future archaeologists.
i think that the scots and german, celts maybe even picts wer shagin each other for yrs before the romans ,,,,,,,we weren't as backward as the romans made out
i think your roots will be more scots celtic than englis,,,,the land of the scot is better anyway
@@AmyEugene I run a burial ground in the UK and our grave plots are 'sold' for a hundred years. Technically they can be re-used but ours aren't. Personally I see no issue with re-using graves especially as England is a tiny place and land scarce and expensive. Fewer people are being buried in coffins now so we offer cremated remains plots and people can scatter ashes. There have been bodies buried for thousands of years in the UK and chances are pretty much every back garden has some human remains in them. It's only the religious/spiritual aspect that bothers people and hardly any younger people are interested in that side of things.
Queen Mary Tudor of England was not Jane Grey's aunt; Mary, like her brother Edward VI, was Jane's first cousin once removed. In fact, Mary Tudor had justification for taking the throne; her father, Henry VIII left the succession to her following Edward in his Will. It wasn't entirely clear that Edward's succession plan was valid. Lady Jane was already in the Tower as it was a royal residence, and her eventual execution was as much due to her father's terrible judgment in joining a subsequent uprising in her name.
Bloody Mary killed her.
religion,,, got a lot 2 answer for,,,,,,cathlic & prodys now hordes of muslims have taken over without firing a shot
@@curiousuranus810 I didn't say she didn't, only that Mary had not wanted to execute her cousin, but Jane's father's rebellion forced her into it--at least as things were looked at in that period.
You are a descendant of Guilford Dudley? y@janscorza7549
You’d think they could manage to fact check such basic historical information.
At the time of the workhouse the Irish landowners were actually exporting food to England.
There’s a few mistakes here. Lady Jane Grey’s mother, Francis, was Edward VI first cousin. Therefore they were second cousins, and Queen Mary I was Lady Jane’s second cousin too, not her aunt.
9 days Queen cuz her hubby was a 9xs lunatic. And the family that married her off to him knew that.
Also, food was still being grown in Ireland during the PF. But the rich Brits & rich Irish were shipping it off to Britian, filing their pockets while watching the people around them starve to death.
😊
Great program I enjoyed it immensely
The argument that Lady Jane Grey was not called a queen because she did not have a coronation does not make sense. Edward V (one of the princes in the Tower) did not have a coronation either, but he is referred to as a king. It would be likely that Mary I would not refer to her as a queen, but why was this never revised later?
Also Edward VIII who abdicated before being crowned.
@@anthonystreeter7808 Is he referred to as ,"King"?
@normanpearson8753 nope! 😂
Alice Roberts has the best narration voice on TV, It's like wading through velvet honey.
So Armstrong contaminated the site with artifacts from his own time…amazing. Sadly there are still people who believe in witches…and I don’t refer to Wiccan’s but the far religious right in the USA. The Anglo Saxon finds were jaw dropping. That Roman bowl, the boar’s head, the bead, and the bracelet, oh my..such gifted artisans! Anything related to Vikings always gets my attention, as well as anything related to spindles and weaving. Great video…an absolute treat!
The only people in America who believed in witches came from Europe, mostly England and they lived in New England, and now adays are almost all democrats so.....
It's a archaeological Extravaganza out there
I am 94% British/Irish. As I watch this, and I hear how so many Irish immigrated to the United States, I can’t help but wonder if someone there was my ancestor who came to America because of the potato famine. I do know that my great great grandparents came from the eastern United States. I wish I could trace back to find “my people”.
I love how she says known nooooowwnn
Another great episode , the dark ages are my favorite piriod in English history , but the program as a whole is excellent .🙂👍
This was the early Renaissance - Tudor era. And Dark Ages is a derogatory term that the historical community no longer uses.
@@maracarlisle well that 's a new one on me , Did not know that , it's what we called it when I was at school .
The period of early medieval history that occurred after the Romans left Britain is generally considered to have ended somewhere in the 10th century, meaning at the latest in 1066, when William the Conquerer became king, although there is really no definitive cutting off point. However, that period still ended approximately 400 years or more before Lady Jane Grey was executed.
@@fleetskipper1810 I was on about the earlier part of the show , not the latter .
Most of those "people who fled Ireland" were in fact forcibly transported by England for non-payment of taxes by the Irish who were starving and suffering illnesses.
Get right on in there anything for history and I am glad you are doing it and I get to see all you have found without even washing my hands.Did they enjoy corn.
Wonderful programme. I would suggest that your description of the Irish "famine" be referred to as the genocide that it was. There was no shortage of food in Ireland at the time though the native Irish depend on the potato. London chose the blight as a good opportunity to rid the island of the troublesome Catholics once and for all. History is History. Don't sugar coat it.
I think that it is really sad and should never be allowed for a cemetery to be moved. In my opinion, the school should have had to find a new location NOT the cemetery.
Jane was legally and legitimately Queen. Queen Jane Grey.
Amazing, I’ve learned about all kinds of s**t watching TH-cam!

Battle of Culloden was fought on 16th April 1746, not 1745.
Is there anything Louis Theroux cannot do?
Mary I was not Lady Jane's aunt, they were distant cousins.
I first learned about the Tudors through Lady Jane and the movie of the same name starring a very young Helena Bonham Carter. I was 14. Queene Jane, for so I shall always think of her, had such deep courage in her convictions that she chose to die rather than betray what she felt was the "true religion". Just sixteen years old. To have that kind of inner strength and courage to face my beliefs head on and be willing to die for what was right... (Yanno, like not letting my country die at the hands of modern trumpnazis.)
Since I was 14 Queene Jane has been my moral compass to help me to always do what's right, no matter how painful, no matter what I lose doing it. And here at 46 she is guiding me still, consoling me through lost friends and destroyed family relationships - because I will not bow to dictators, and most certainly not tiny peened mango baboon faced dictator wannabes. Where are the men who took Henry II at his word and rod him of Becket? Where are they when the entire globe has such a trumpnazi infestation? Where is the last great American sniper to end this nightmare for ALL of us. As a true American who believes in freedom and equality for everyone, not just white men, it's Queene Jane even more than my beloved RM Queen Elizabeth I that I find myself seeking solace and reassurance from, and from whose memory I draw the courage to fight another day, and another. So here's a giant two finger salute to dictators and their wannabe orange skinned fluffers everywhere. You will not win.
And I just saw a flash of a comment about listening to Dr. Robert's dulcet tones to relax to and that is the best idea I've heard in a month of Sundays. Thank you for all you do on behalf of history and our understanding of it, Dr. Roberts. You are a global treasure.
A person with the same way of thought through following what the past can teach us. I also know that the trumpnazi will not win. Where are our heroes? Are they standing by watching and waiting until the right time to expose them?
I know you mean the best but your wrong.
@@janicemcdonald1371this is their opinion. You cannot tell them that they are wrong😂 this person found a connection with Jane Grey and it helps them through life battles. This commenter is not wrong. Your response to their comment is idiotic.
They were terrified of witches, but used hex symbols to ward off the evil spirits that their god couldn't protect them from.
🥰 I really like watching this show😁
what a title lol
This episode has been somewhat like the excavation of Auschwitz and Birkenau in Ireland.
Lady Jane Grey wasn't first cousin of King Edward VI. Her mother was.
Well, that passed pretty quickly.

While Queen Victoria dinned on her favorite vegetable… the potato … Ireland starved. She didn’t do a damn thing about it except continue to gore herself while people starved and died. And yes …. She was aware.

@610... If you know anything about Digging for antiques, in privys, this guy is really a miss without any gloves!!!
Mary Tudor wasn't Jane Grey's aunt.
WAR IS EVIL
I once read a theory that Jane Grey and Edward VI were actually switched at birth and that that was why Edward passed over his sisters, they were both born at roughly the same time, and if Frances Grey had a son and Henry needed a son, I could see them holding off on announcing Frances' child's sex until they knew whether Henry had hit the son jackpot yet. They don't give an actual date for Jane's birth, just the month, so its hard to tell if she was born before or after Edward. The Nobles had the habit of keeping the new mother isolated both before and after the birth, so the actual birth of Frances' child could have been kept quiet until Jane had hers. If you were that high in the aristocracy you pretty much had a life and death power over your attendants.
Time to stop reading historical fiction.

Season 8, Episode 2 NORTH
Didn’t find anything in the loo.
wonder way the English took away all the other food besides the potato during the blight
It was a mindset that many people had then and some people still have now. That being: survival of the fittest in terms of Social Darwinism. The poor were despised and it was seen as a rich person's right to exploit them because their strength and wealth meant they were obviously favoured by the universe. Any mercy shown them would be seen as misplaced because you'd just be throwing money away on the undeserving
@@Littleowl85352 At least the Native Americans did send cornmeal during the potato famine . It is a relationship that survives till this day.

Does it not play on the minds of these people that they are digging through where flesh was once present?
I'd say they do if they are digging bones😂
It's long gone, disintegrated into dirt, not a big deal they are there to do a job.
Pretty much everywhere once had flesh present between ground level and say six feet above ground if humans ever lived there. If you are digging human remains you do so with respect, but there is not much to be gained by letting your imagination run riot. There may once have been flesh, but it is long gone. However, on some sites there may well be organic remains such as hair, skin or even fully preserved bodies. Forensic archaeologists can be recovering bodies from recent war sites, such as mass graves in Bosnia, where there will be undecomposed flesh. You work with what is there. If it played on your mind you'd probably choose a different profession.
Of course. Also the fact these were once living people.

Clearly if the King named Jane Grey as his heir she was the lawful Monarch not Mary.
Actually not. Parliament was the ultimate arbiter, hence the earlier need for Parliament to pass Titulus Regius, an Act of Parliament needed make Richard III King of England. Mary was next in line to the Throne because she was eldest direct line relative of King Edward. Edward's will expressed his desire for the succession but it did not supercede the dynastic imperative of the line of succession.
@@timhazeltine3256 you know, Parliaments came and went at the whim of the Monarch in those days, Jane Grey was murdered because the boy king failed or was unable to provide his 16 year old female heir with suitable & powerful protectors for the period following here death until she had, had the opportunity to mature into a person of gravitas.
Subsequently Mary (a Roman Catholic) reigned under a balance of power which failed to restore the absolute dominance of the Roman Church over England & Wales, so that her sister Elizabeth was able to come to power after the death of Mary despite being a Woman & not a Roman Catholic because she had powerful supporters & consequently did not meet the fate of their cousin Jane.
