The story of George Villiers and King James I & VI reads like a stylish, sexy and scandalous historic drama series. It probably hasn’t been made into one before because, until recently, Hollywood wasn’t too keen on portraying homosexual characters and relationships, authentically. However, the new Starz series, Mary and George promises to finally introduce the wider world to the dashing country commoner who won the heart of a king and was raised so high he had no where to go but plummeting back to earth. The series emphasizes George’s relationship with his ambitions mother, Mary Beaumont who encouraged and facilitated his royal seduction. So let’s travel back to the Stuart court of England and meet the real Mary and George Villiers. Get out your cups and saucers, because I will be spilling a lot of tea with this one.

Mary was the Kris Kardashian of her time
So King James was bi-sexual.
kris jenner u mean?
@@J_24she used to be a Kardashian
@@user-bn6ht5eg4q true, just the “kardashian” just caught me off guard and also bc that ain’t her last name anymore. but it’s fine, imma just not comment anymore bc i rlly don’t wanna make a big deal out of it. thank u for the reply tho
Kris who?
I swear they only had like 10 names during this time. Mary, Elizabeth, Henry, Edward, Anne, Thomas, George , James , Katherine, and Richard 😂
And Charles lol
@@TheeBrooklyn My bad and Charles🤣😂
Charles, Louise, Francis, Patrick, Agnes, Victoria.... so many more
At least there were no Karen's 😂😂😂😂😂
In the 70s, those names were still the most popular.
“Elizabeth had been a King and NOW they have a queen.” Ahahahahahahaha
GAGGED! 🤣🤣🤣
I know right. I LOVED that. Thank you for all your hard work on creating content and making historical ppl come alive again!
LOL
I find this correct.
😐 You kills you…
Mary and George are interesting, but MAN George’s wife was a badass. She was like ‘dad won’t let me marry the man I love? Ok bet’. For a woman to do that in that era was a POWER MOVE
My thought exactly
It's a nice change 'cause IRL it was 100 way worse ( and rape may be included )
... "power move" to sloppy seconds.
Can we ghear a gatekeep, gasslight, girlboss in here?
@@rhonwenbaker2448 OP is
a-historical shall we say.
Had no idea King James went both ways. Shout out to Mary, she went from nothing and now she’s buried in Westminster Abbey.
He's one of the more prominent bisexual kings. 🤷
No evidence that he was at all sexually attracted to women.
Or that he even had sex with any woman apart from his wife and apart from for purposes of procreation.
As many gay men did both then and now without it meaning they were even slightly bi.
The royals didn't care who they were with, siblings, cousins as long as the "Royal" lineage stayed "pure" 🤦
At least the male bedfellows didn't have to worry about having children with birth defects 🤷♂️
@@chrisgeenadriver1631 how many were there? I only know of the Roman Emperors.
@@andrewDaMack not bi, but very much into men and only men was King Frederick the Great of Prussia. Apparently when Casanova visited him to sell him on the idea of lottery, Casanova was very annoyed when the King only tried to get in his pants...
"She didn't necessarily intend to pimp him out." 💀
REAL
“but, I mean… come on” LMFAO LINDSAY😭
FRRR
I spat out my water, all over the floor
@@DaisyLutulove ur pfp
@@Marie-Antoniette TYSM! 💖💖
@@DaisyLutu of course :)
It’s so bizarre cause King James’ mother, Queen Mary Stuart of Scotts, lost her throne for the controversies of her choices whereas her son had a gay lover and nobody said a word. That’s sad
what's bizarre about men doing what they please, while women were burned at the stake for being "uppity".
It's far less harmful having a male lover compared to plotting to kill the Queen of England.
The woman narrating the video uses her modern day corrupted mind to perceive historical characters and accuses them of things as if they are factual.
well... when the king decide to grant perdon to the arcibishop of Cantebury 'cause he killed a man during a royal hunt, the church was so glad about that... they decided to not judge the king for his male lovers
@@galadrielwoods2332we have the evidence… letters… it’s hardly that unbelievable that there’d be a couple monarchs with homosexual tendencies in thousands of years of history
“Limbs so we’ll compacted” Elizabethan way of saying he had a tight surfer bod
Thanks, bc I was trying to understand what the hell that meant 😂😂😂
😆
Lindsey: I'm going to be spilling a lot of tea with this one.
Me: Girl, that's why I'm here, let's go 😏☕️
Ha ha! We love royal tea, especially medieval royal tea. 😂
George Villiers duke of Buckingham wasn't gay , in my opinion he was bisexual because I heard that he had a way with woman as well as men and according to dumas in the three musketeers (historical fiction with a few real events mentioned) he may have had an affair with Anne of Austria. The wife of the king of France
(he gets stabbed to death in that book).
Same😂🎉
Yes folks, this is *the King James* of the King James Bible.
This is insane information!!! Game Changer!
Wait what! Are you serious? 😮
@@ylpitts1 Yeah, the KJV Bible was released in 1611.
Sounds like George Villiers was the beneficiary of the first GoFundMe.
Oh the irony of the Bible thumpers using a Bible rewritten by a gay man
God can use anyone to get is message out there
@@mjbelle23 😂😂😂😂
@@bcnmanhattan50 🤷🏿♀️ that’s how the gospel spread unlikely people
They just say they were good friends 😂 which is denial if I ever heard it
@@mjbelle23James was pulling shit out of his ass
If that portrait portrays her beauty, then i must be a super model
Different beauty standards and their portraiture might be off the mark.
@@mbod2gigi😅😅😅😅 don't lie to urself
My comment was meant to be funny... you know... a joke 😃
I was wondering why she was even called a beauty.
Right?!!!
Imagine having a personality so bad that you _incite_ a conspiracy complete with a crowd funded wardrobe!! 😬😂
Pretty sure George is the same Duke of Buckingham who is often one of the villains in The Three Musketeers.
Yes, same person but his attempted rape is romanticized as "love"
Fun Fact: It wasn’t just the fact the seas were stormy that made James decide to burn her. It was the fact that he and his bride, Anne, were sailing home on the seas when the storms hit and nearly killed both of them and their entourage that got her into trouble.
Special note to that too: Agnes came to James directly and claimed she and other witches caused the storm too.
You’re right, that makes it better
@@withintheshynessWhy would Agnes make that claim to King James?
@@LindyMia-ft9md it’s not known why
Your narration is second to none Lindsay! Could hear you talking about paint drying and have a lovely time! Please consider doing a video on princess Charlotte (daughter lf george IV) and her husband Leopold (the first king of belgium) 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Definitely better than all of those AI narrated videos out there! A pleasure to listen to❤
She already did “Queens who did of childbirth”
Princess Charlotte will be coming out on April 23rd!
@@LindsayHoliday YOU'RE AMAZING! You're a treasure to listen to! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
IKR such a soothing, bedtime story voice!
They always end up with a horrendous ending don’t they?!
That’s human history for you!
English history sexual or non sexual is disgusting!
@@janpercell-ph3ig That pretty much covers human history.
Yes
Mary and George is such a good series. Nicholas, Tony, and Julianne absolutely killed it. 🔥
Nicholas is Fr the sassiest king that is an amazing actor
Anything with Julianne Moore is going to be impressive and occasionally over the top
Where can I watch this outside US?
@@dannil9878 sky/now tv in uk
@@pbohearnI worship her 😂❤
George's portrait in red with strings of pearls, makes him look positively devilish, as opposed to handsome.
I have read Daemonologie - I remember when Spare came out and people were making fun of the talk about the frostbite, and a couple of my historian friends were like "okay but the actual weirdest book ever written by a royal was written by King James I & VI 😂
“But I mean, c’mon.” 😂😂😂
I LOVE getting the historical "tea" from you. Your story telling skills are incredible. British history always seems so much more interesting than American history. Keep the tea flowing. I'm here for it. 😊
Well this was a huge pot of tea served! Had no idea the English courts were that spicy. Thank you for this brilliant video.
I died when Lindsey said "Oh come on?!"😂 like even you are done with that 😂
Powerful people at court were tired of arrogant Robert and were eager to place George in the king's bed instead 😂😂😂. They were desperate!
The title slays
The pub on the street he was assassinated in Portsmouth is named the Duke of Buckingham, as well as the names of many building surrounding it also referencing the murder.
"but I mean, c'mon"....love your narration, and your sly quips. Delightful as usual. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
13:34 - "but I mean, come on..." ROTFL!!!!! I love your combination of good scholarship and modern commentary. 💞
Honestly the existance of Mary and George really brings about so many cross over i really have not anticipated abfore. This is one of them. I'm so so happy at this video and thank you so much for putting this vid together.
omg! The actor playing King James is the same who played King Stephen (👹) on the Pillars of The Earth show!!
And he played Vincent Van Gogh in a brilliant episode of Doctor Who. Brought me to tears. I could listen to Tony Curran's cadences all day and night. ❤
He was Marcus Corvinus in Underworld Evolution
@@PoserAddictsLLC I’m picturing him as Van Gogh and it works marvellously!

Wow can you tell me where to watch that show? I read the book and absolutely LOVED IT. Isn't it the best, how the evil rich guy still wanted Alana when she was married to the red head guy I cant remember all the names in the story but boy I loved the book
SQUEE!! Julianne Moore is playing the hell out of this part. Only on the first episode but the acting is great.
Lindsay understands that the best way to tell history is with sass.
I kinda dig their idea of sexuality not being an identity per se. That it's all just personal experiences. It would cure modern day biphobia and other common misconceptions.
You make mundane English history soooooo fascinating. Dont get me wrong i *love* English history its my special interest. But you make it feel new again no matter how well i know the story. Thank you for being my escape in this crazy ole world
Wow I found this so interesting! Didn’t know we had that much detail from way back then! Also I personally prefer a King James Bible but now his extreme hypocrisy has me double thinking continuing to use that translation! Thank you so much for all your work! Hope your upcoming trip goes really well!
Right?!…
A real life soap opera! Love the narration!
Mary sure was ambitious, to place the young manger child into a castle .
Lindsay, your absolutely realist human narration is spot on! 👏 “but really who were they kidding” was brilliant! 👏 😂 👏. I love your videos! I learn so much.
I've never heard my home county of Leicestershire pronounced that way lol. It's pronounced less-ster-sheer.
The weird thing is she tries to get the French pronunciations right but then doesn't care about her butchering the English names. lol
American, truly awful annunciation and such an annoying voice.
History is often funny but this is the most hilarious and fantastic story of all. If it was fiction you wouldn't believe it.
Thank you. Loved this video.
Been watching your videos for 7 years now. Cant believe its been this long but thank you for making amazing videos for years💟💟💟
Rumor at the time was that Sir Walter Raleigh was executed for making an importune joke about "King Elizabeth and Queen James" while in his cups.
The idea that George himself (with the help of Mary) assassinated James by poisoning was ridiculous..
Lindsay holiday you mention Guyana my home🇬🇾
Love your video
Great job
I am watching from st Lucia 🇱🇨
I'm watching from Trinidad! Happy to see another Caribbean person here!!!
@@fernking9586 nice meeting you
@@ronattamurray142 you as well, my friend in history!
@@fernking9586 🙏
This guy's son, George 2nd Duke of Buckingham was an "interesting" character at the court of Charles II, as part of the CABAL government he ironically represented puritan interests, though he was anything but. He married the daughter of Sir Thoma Fairfax, commander of the Parliament army in the Civil war. He features in John Dryden's poem "Absalom and Achitophel" as Zimri. He himself was a writer one of his works was the comic play "The Rehearsal".
Ah yes I have gotten thousands of men killed due to my gross incompetence. I know what I'll do, I'll try a third time and redeem myself!
(Door gets kicked in)
Oh my God why, what have i done to deserve this?!
I kinda admire his perseverance. I mean, he might have been dumb as a post, but he wasn't a quitter 😄
Yes!!! I was waiting for this video cause I just finished Mary and George. I was utterly obsessed
And to think these people believed they were morally superior to their subjects.
They still do.
You don't always see how good looking these historical guys are and of course paintings are made to look even better - he was pretty good looking in all the art of him....
Wow this was so good. Now I want to watch the show on starz . Very captivating. Wow King James, who the Bible is named after. 😮
13:27 They're really trying to pull out the "roommates" narrative as if it isn't already obvious, LMFAO. 😭💀
I love that "Side note" reference about his bedroom habits. Great Queer code there.
"Anything but that" 😂😂 The kinky among us would say, "amateur". I've....you know...heard....
I was not about to Google this so thanks😂
@@autumnrose1998 😆😆 I live to serve.
10:08 oh yeah he def had a type 😭😭 thought i was staring at twins
THANK YOU!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!!
My ancestor was John Felton,the man who assassinated Villiers.
wow
« Villain ! » (although George is supposed to have said « oh, villaine! »)
The Mary and George show is amazing, and I was curious to learn more about the historical background. Thank you!
Your videos are always so captivating Lindsay! Getting a notification from this channel literally brings me joy!😊
Thank you for your hard work, Queen of TH-cam :D
The Stuarts were an absolute disaster for England and Wales in every sense, and then moaning about the Act of Union, what a paradox
Thank you so much for giving me that little bit of shade and sassiness 😂😂😂 I love your work
That record scratch had me cracking up 🤣🤣
"But I mean....come on" LINDSAY OMG I LOVE YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH 😭😭😭
I legit just read a chapter in the book I'm reading about this topic. I hadn't heard of it before that.
Well, now I gotta know - which book? I’m a book nerd like that 🤓
I have been watching lindsay since 2019. Because of her, i have learn about many History
It's so amazing to see you approaching 1M subscribers!
I look forward to your videos every week!
This was one of the best ones yet!!
What a wonderfully scandalous history 😊
George was a good looking man! No wonder James was hooked
And George became a beautiful corpse.
@@ankhpom9296you will be a corpse too one day
Julianne Moore is so incredibly gorgeous. This looks like an interesting show.
THAT WAS EXTRAORINARILY WELL DONE ! THANK YOU ! BOB L.
Terrific...I am a Stewart decended from Robert the Bruce..my amcestors all serve Charles I in ome capacity or another and fled when he was captured..they all emded up in the Maryland Colony amd intermarried for several generarioms....this was fascinating.
Lindsey, you do great researches and narration on your subjects. Thank you for your wonderful storytelling.
History telling
Lindsay I love your videos so much and I love learning history from you. 🥰
Wonderfully well documented and narrated. Loved the podcast! Looking forward to the next one!
It is mostly lies. The woman narrating the video uses her modern day corrupted mind to perceive historical characters and accuses them of things as if they are factual.
That was fascinating! I knew "of" but not much beyond that King James I had a particular favorite gentleman. Thanks for introducing us to him, his mother, and many other folks whose own lives and interests brought them together
Marvelously made. Thank you
That was one of the best potted histories I have ever seen on You Tube, I am now a subscriber. ❤
Thirteen year-old children aren't in love with middle aged adults. Do not use language that normalizes this grossness. Infatuated? Maybe. But if it's reciprocated, that's statutory, and any adult man should have rebuffed him and not committed r@p€
Things were diffrent back than. They did not have the concept of puberty. You were either an adult or child. That is why girls could be married off so young. Because when they were in their teens they would be considered adults.
@@lasloapollo4312 well maybe if they were teens but the fact is that women were not even considered human they were property, chattels and the father could do what he wanted with his daughters and his wife. Things might have been different but it doesn't make it acceptable.. would have been pretty horrible for the girls. just ask yourself (if you are a woman - can't tell) do you remember being that age? and how would you feel? .
@@thevocalcrone of course it is awful. All i try to do is explain why no one was shocked or outraged when those things happend. To understand history and the motives people have we have to look at the social context.
@@lasloapollo4312 fair enough.. back in the days when women were absolutely nothing or considered to be worth less than the farm stock.
It wasn’t statutory back then! 😂
Wow 😍 what a story thank you very much. You tell the history so well
Now this was Tea time, best breakfast in a long time
Early! Your videos are amazing Lindsay! Never miss one! 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Did lindsay just quote rupaul? This woman make history so fun
Love your content Linsday! You're one of my favorite TH-camrs!
I love juicy history gossip 😂. Do tell me more Lindsay I’m all ears! 😂
Fabulous. The insinuating tone is never inappropriate in these stories.
Lindsay, I think I have literally watched every history video on your channel now, I keep going to all the playlists and ordering videos by oldest to try and find something I haven't watched and it's almost impossible now 😂❤ If I could have a new video every day it might not be enough still haha 😊
Proximity to Power. Such a destroyer. Funny how George Villiers went exactly the same way as Robert Carr, whom he replaced. I was wondering whether or not that would happen!!!
Plz. Keep up your wonderful works. 🎉
This was was really interesting stuff, great job! ❤️
Oh, this was so good!
Fantastic video!!❤❤
I swear I could listen to you for hours! ✌️
Thanks, great presentation,interesting pictures ❣️
An excellent video. Thank you!! You have made a very complicated period understandable.
We should call you a bad server, cause you spilled all the tea 🫖
You NEED to be a guest judge on RPDR
That would make my century!
