Happy Birthday Joel! 🎉 Mary I’s dress sounds beautiful and sumptuous. What a sight! I would have loved to hear what Elizabeth was wearing too. The celebrations for Mary I must have been a sight to behold and hear!! They definitely sound like they had rose tinted glasses on when describing Henry VIII’s reign! I do feel sorry for Queen Jane and her end. I wonder how long the people were happy with Queen Mary I replacing Queen Jane with all the religious issues that took place under Mary’s reign. Thank you again for another wonderful video and I can’t wait for the livestream tomorrow
Happy Birthday Joel! What a triumph for Mary and Elizabeth, after enduring the insult their father perpetrated against them, to ride through London with the people cheering!
Ah to be able to witness to that triumph for Mary after everything she got what was hers by birthright. Though I do love Anne, I have always felt that Mary had the right to be ahead of Elizabeth in the line of succession and that Anne's marriage to Henry had split up a legally binding marriage. Guess it's a good thing this isn't 16th century England or I wouldn't have a head for saying that. 🙆
I absolutely love hearing about the processions thru the streets of London and how the people rejoiced at these occasions and actually got to be a part of the action and actually could enjoy the day along with the monarch. I just love that. I could only imagine how wonderful it must have been to see Mary coming your way in all her glory. I can only imagine how beautiful she must have looked, and honestly she deserved her time in the limelight because she had so many times been pushed away from it. Mary must have been so overwhelmed with happiness and joy that her people rejoiced for her becoming queen. One of the moments when it would have been nice to be a fly on the wall. Sigh... I'm just so happy that we have Claire to tell us about these amazing events in such detail. Honestly this is the most in depth and best channel for Tudor history. Love my daily does of Tudor! Thank you so much Claire!!
🇭🇲🦘 It must have been a magnificent sight as Queen Mary and her half-sister Elizabeth rode together in procession through London. "Thank you" Claire 💓👑👍

You recorded this video at 9 a.m. The bells say so! Thank you for the video and all your hard work!
Thanks so much Claire, appreciate it. Detailed accounts of events such as this are incredibly fascinating and such a treasure to still have. Wow Mary's gown sounds exquisite, she obviously looked the part, every inch a Queen like her beloved late mother. Mary was clearly loved and welcomed as the true rightful heir. People who were still secretly loyal to the Catholic faith and those loyal to the memory of her mother must have rejoiced at Mary's accession. This detailed account of events is bittersweet for me to hear because this day was a happy one for Mary, she had finally triumphed in the face of adversity. She had righted all the wrong done to her. So promising were these early days! It's just sad when you think of how Mary's reign turned out in the end. On this day she was loved and cheered but throughout history she has since being unfairly vilified
I seem to recall hearing from you that Mary's wedding gown also was purple velvet? I wonder whether she recycled such a special dress?! I do wish the chronicler had described Mary's reaction to all of this, and also that of Elizabeth. Was Elizabeth enjoying her sister's wonderful day and sharing the spotlight whenever possible, or trying to stay in the background?
An amazing costume. Hope the weather was good for Mary wearing all the velvet, satin and gems. It was probably heavy as well. And all the people waiting and watching, standing at attention, singing. I'm uncomfortable just listening! How quickly the people forgot Henry. Hope springs eternal...
Yes quite the event! Mary seems to have have gotten the accession pageantry down. It seems like she planned public events for maximum effect to show great support for her monarchy.And the clothes! I remember another event where you described her dressed to the nines it seems like she certainly had a luxurious taste. Do you think she got that from her mother or her father? Her portraits don’t suggest a beautiful woman. I don’t hear anybody really describing her other than her clothes. What’s your sense of that? Also what do you make of her asking or telling Elizabeth to join her on this procession. it seems like a really good political move on her part. I wonder how Elizabeth felt about it and whether she wanted to go or really didn’t feel like she had a choice or maybe that she felt like she needed to show support. It was interesting that they described Mary‘s dress in detail but not anything mentioned about Elizabeth. And I don’t think they were very close they didn’t spend that much time together over the last several years prior to Mary becoming queen. I can kind of see them on this procession and smiling and pretending like they’re talking to each other and they really barely can stand each other LOL
@@pbohearn It was all about pageantry with the monarchy so Mary was no different. I think she inherited her luxurious taste from both parents. Henry always splashed the cash and aimed to impress and outdo others while Catherine of Aragon was known for expensive tastes. As she aged and her looks faded she tended to make up for that with lavish gowns and over do it with jewels. Mary and Elizabeth had a good relationship as children, Mary had to care for an infant Elizabeth for a few years at Hatfield so I'm sure they had some sort of bond. By the time Mary's accession they hadn't seen much of each other and their relationship must have been strained. I'd say yes they were all smiles for the people but I don't think they hated each other. Family meant something to Mary
Why were you uncomfortable listening? I doubt people forgot Henry, how could they? People knew better to keep their mouths shut and endure. Also it was Summertime, August is usually a good month so chances are the weather was good. The weather always seemed good in the old days. Yes such a decorative gown must have been been hot, heavy and uncomfortable but that's the price you pay when wanting to look good
Happy Birthday, Joe! Today (3 Aug) is my wife's birthday too. It's Aug 2 in the US as I watch. Perhaps the people giving the effusive praise were ancestors of people who are now part of the Monster Raving Loony Party. Mary seems so serious she might not recognize snark and sarcasm.
Ohoo my just if we all had a time machine. Thank you claire and congratulations on 25,000 subscribes you so deserve all your followers you learn us so much each day and really take us back in time big huggsss👑👑👑💖xx
It’s lucky for us that Wriothesley describes clothes in such beautiful detail. I’ve noticed his descriptions of clothes in some other videos as well. I know it’s a stereotype, but often you don’t see male chroniclers considering things like clothes important enough to record, but it’s fascinating for us in the future.
7 hours after your post, it's 12:18am on 3 August in New Mexico, USA. I enjoy hearing the time differential between different points on the globe, as I have since the first time I spoke to my old pen pal from New Zealand on the phone (she is 18 hours ahead of me, and it's fun thinking about her present being a day and a half into my future) You are not quite as far ahead, though it's a pleasant reminder of how extensive the world is.
Happy Birthday to your son 🎉 The bells ring for Mary. The procession must have been an amazing sight and Mary's gown velvet, satin and gems. I wonder how Lady Jane Grey ( Queen Jane) felt when Mary entered the Tower. Hearing the celebrations while being imprisoned in the Tower.
🎂🥳🥳Happy birthday Joe🎈🎈🎊🎉🎊❤it is still the 2nd of August and it's 8:06pm in NY. My grandmothers birthday is the 3rd of August and I'm excited for both of you. Thank you for another great video. I could just imagine how the entrance was for Queen Mary I sounds spectacular.
Claire - Thank you for the very colorful description of Mary and Elizabeth's process through London. Their gowns must have been beyond lavish and gorgeous! You have such a great talent for bringing these events to life. I want to join in with Happy Birthday wishes to your son, as well as all the "Tudor-philes" listed below. Best wishes to all of you from Oregon.
I love this description of the day and Mary's triumph; she deserved triumph after all she suffered; short-lived as it all was she had proved herself a Queen and a Tudor and she certainly showed flashes of being her mother's daughter.
I have read that the people loved King Henry VIII so I have wondered how much did they know? At the very least, I figured they would have held resentment about Catherine & the destruction of the churches? Happy birthday to your son!
Happy birthday Joel..🎂🍾 It"s my birthday too!!....Thankyou Claire for giving a lovely talk on Mary's lavish prossession into London..with her half sister Elisabeth...wish I could have been there to see it & the wonderful outfit that Mary was wearing...purple velvet & satin ECT.. .what a sight! 😀...looking forward to tomorrow's instalment...
When I first read about Mary and Elizabeth riding in procession together to celebrate Mary’s new reign, I wondered about the sisterly affection between these two women. Not every moment of their relationship could be full of hatred.
Hi Claire big fan of yours on the other side of the pond from Boston Massachusetts. If I was to buy one for a couple of your books online could I maybe trouble you if I ship them to you for you to autograph them for me?? Let me know please thank you keep doing what you're doing because you're one of the best in your field in my opinion. Thank you very much and keep doing what you doing.
Do you think Wyatt's rebellion was intended to make Lady Jane Grey queen again or to make Elizabeth queen? Relation between Lady Jane Grey, Lady Katherine Grey, Lady Mary Grey , Mary I, Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots is very interesting.
Wyatt's Rebellion was done with the hope of putting Elizabeth on the throne. One of those involved in the rebellion was Jane's father so he had obviously given up on his daughter and his participation in the rebellion sealed her fate
To be fair, Henry VIII was primarily dangerous to his advisers and counselors, not the commoners. It's possible that they believed that everyone he executed was guilty as charged.
I wonder what Elizabeth wore in the procession. I'm sure it was as grand as Mary's. More importantly was she hearing herself up to the conflicts with Mary which lay ahead of her.
I’m curious about Mary’s phantom pregnancies. Being that the child would have been heir to the throne and monarchs were scrutinized about their physical condition, what did the doctors and those who attended to Mary think about her pregnancies. Did they too think she was pregnant? Was she showing as a six month pregnant woman would? What is in the primary sources about these odd medical conditions? Thanks so much.
Wow. Are we to believe that "Bloody Mary" went through the entire procession without burning anybody at the stake? LOL. Just kidding. Was the Charles Wriothesley who wrote this detailed account related to the Wriothesley who served Henry VIII?
The costume sound amazing. I imagine they had hot plumes coming up from Africa then like we in the UK had then. Their hygiene wasn't great either. The sweat, heat and smell must've been unbearable!
Happy Birthday Joel! 🎉

Winchester Cathedral has a replica of it.

Lovely Great Moment in Half Royal 👑 female sister, wonder if they ever thought this day would come as The Princess children. 👰🏼 🎇🎭👑👩👧.🤴🏻
Happy Birthday to your son!

One of Mary’s better days I would venture. perhaps the people were happy too, because they finally had an adult at the drivers wheel.
It’s my birthday too
Happy birthday, Johnathan; hope it was a happy one!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday Mr. J🧚♀️🇮🇪🧚♂️
Happy Birthday 😀🎉🎊🎂🎁🍨
DONT FORGET ELIZABETH DIDTO THE CATHOLICS. SHE KILLED QUITE ALOT OF PEOPLE NOT SUCH A GOOD QUEEN. READ MORE
To be fair, Henry VIII was primarily dangerous to his advisers and counselors, not the commoners. It's possible that they believed that everyone he executed was guilty as charged.
I wonder what Elizabeth wore in the procession. I'm sure it was as grand as Mary's. More importantly was she hearing herself up to the conflicts with Mary which lay ahead of her.

The Kings and Queens really knew how to spend money and buy the best clothing, etc.
Arris and silk??? I'm not even sure how to spell it, but what's 4:19
Arras were tapestries.
how old is your son today ~ Happy Birthday dear son ~
Wow. What a pity they didn't paint a picture of her in her robe on her dressed up horse. That would have been amazing!
Wow. Are we to believe that "Bloody Mary" went through the entire procession without burning anybody at the stake? LOL. Just kidding. Was the Charles Wriothesley who wrote this detailed account related to the Wriothesley who served Henry VIII?
The costume sound amazing. I imagine they had hot plumes coming up from Africa then like we in the UK had then. Their hygiene wasn't great either. The sweat, heat and smell must've been unbearable!
