As the year I recorded this wasn't a leap year, I also talk about the awful burning of theologian Patrick Hamilton on 29th February 1528. He was Scotland's first 'Protestant' martyr.
I wish there was a LOVE button...because I just LOVE learning about Tudor History! Thanks, Claire!
Thank you Claire for the story. I know about Silken Thomas, being from Ireland. That was a cruel death for Patrick Hamilton. The Friar was truly wicked.
Cute cat who photo bombed!
Amazingly, the genealogy of these families is so important to understand how all these people are intertwined. But really, roasted? not burned? YUCK! Thank you for your great research and sharing it with us.
I always think that you're posting a day early, but it's just because of the massive time difference between where I am and where you are LOL. You won't hear me complain about getting to see your videos early though!
Always love they bells going off at the right time!!!!!!!
Terri T me toooo! They are always well timed xD
Thankyou Clair for another fascinating chapter of Tudor history. And the cameo cats are lovely . X
What a day and kitty was curious too! Thank you, Claire. :-)
Can I just say how much I love that you gleefully and generously announce a surprise extra for the poor souls that don’t have a birthday this year, and it being the story of the horrific burning of an innocent man described in gruelling detail by an eyewitness. Only Tudor-ites...
Ha! Yes, sorry! Some days it is rather hard to find one that isn't blood thirsty.
The Anne Boleyn Files and Tudor Society I really appreciate your videos Claire, and I love how we can all be a little Tudor obsessed on here with you! I just love how everyone here just wants to hear about all the stories with so much interest, even the tragic ones. I’m a huge fan.
Many thanks for the video...and I love the kitty cat cameo!
As always, loved the video. I also loved your cat's cameo. I know it's not Tudor history related but I'd love a "Meet the Author" video.
Talking of burning, read about Anne Askew in Phillipa Gregory's The Taming of the Queen, truly shocking. Thanks for all your work, loving this series
Yes, Anne Askew was horribly tortured too before her burning.
I love seeing your cat cameos in your videos! Thank you for the interesting facts! Fascinating as always!
I always learn something new when watching and listening to your great videos! 11th Earl of Kildare - I hadn't heard of him before. So very interesting. And then the burning of Hamilton. Terrible. Didn't know of that either! Shudder!
Thank you Claire.
Such cute little costars you have! It was a little creepy that as you say the words "dark arts", a phantom kitty appears & disappears! 😱 What a horrible way to go, to be roasted to death!😥 Love the stories, thank you! 💜🌹👸👑🏰🎪🎭
I thank you! I truly look foreword to these everyday now. I love the stories and your beautiful presentation.
Thank you so much for your hard work that gives us these videos!! I can’t explain why the Tudors have always been my favorite . Henry, Ann, Mary ,and Edward. It’s sad that Ann died and never knew how her only child was the best Queen England ever had!!!
What a brave man. Who was the special guest at the end? where is Maj? This is so nice to come home to. We reached 25cm of snow today. UGH
That was Ari (Ariadne). I'm not sure where Maj had go to, or Ari's brother, Oreo. Wow, that's a lot of snow!
I very much enjoy your videos. Thank you for the wonderful content.
Just love these videos Claire.
Am a mad Tudor and AB addict.
Hi from Australia. 💙
Thank you for the video. Love the cat making an appearance.
Thank you so much for this. I could listening to you all day. Cute cats!
Oh Thank you. And I loved the timing of the bell.
Hi Claire ,Your videos are awesome !!!
One of my ancestor's sister was taken out as as witch, but it was very political. Poor Janet Douglas. Her mother lost her sisters under interesting circumstances as well. One of them had been having an affair with a king and she and two of her sisters either ate tainted food or were poisoned.
Loved the kitty cameos 😸
This was a great legend story!! Thank you!
Great story! 😍
I saw the ghost cat fly past at 13:27. The Wizard Earl returned on video?
Perhaps so! I think that was Oreo flashing past.
I just found out that I am a descendant of the Gerald Fitzgerald! so interesting!
I thought oh look we have someone who survived all these reigns & died in bed at an old age for Tudor times.!!! I also learned the meaning of Fritz! Good day in history...but then we have the 29th...not so good...
It is Fitz not Fritz...
Births! Marriages! Burnings! Executions!! Claire Ridgeway!! LOL I love these videos Claire. I try to keep up but sometimes I'm a few months late cause I missed a ew. Thanks. You bring the Tudor history home. And your pets are cute!. I had to stop watching with the roasting description though, sorry.
I appreciate your channel very much. I really enjoy listening to you as you explain Tudor history. This is off-point, but may I ask what your kitty’s name is? It makes me laugh when he/she video-bombs!
We have three cats - Maj (tabby), Ari (the one on the table) and Oreo (Ari's brother who has more white on him than Ari). We also have three dogs.
Hi Clare, I wonder if you have considered his relationship with Elizabeth’s mother, Jacquetta of Luxembourg who was considered by some to use witchcraft is said to have descended from Melusine.
What happened?!?! An horrific death that lasted 6 hours, and no bells ringing while Claire tells us about this execution?! you should have started filming 1 minute earlier :) lol
Ha! Yes!
Tudor Cat is gorgeous! May we have an introduction please?
Tudor Tuxedo Cat? ;-D
Seems more like a cravat (or an ascot) than a tuxedo bowtie. Imho
That's Ari (Ariadne).
A pleasure to meet you Ari.
Pleasure to meet you Ariadne! Goddess of the labyrinth: how appropriate for a cat!
Very interested in the Fitzgeralds Butlers and Fitz-Patricks. All these cousins went to England to be educated with Edward VI. They formed a mini court while children. Would you consider doing a report about Barnaby Fitz-Patrick and Edward?
Alchemy! We’re getting all sorts of interesting goodies!
What dreadful times they lived in! Fascinating for us now though!
And gran finale ! The cat ! 🐈💜💜
Hi Claire! I adore your videos, I'm a complete Tudor nut. I was wondering if you'd seen the Tudors BBC TV series that came out a few years ago? And if you have, what are your thoughts?
The Showtime one? It was horribly inaccurate times but I did enjoy it.
@@anneboleynfiles Yes that one. I agree it was fairly inaccurate, but I thought it was visually wonderful.
It's interesting that some Marlovians (spelling?) credit Christopher Marlow with works by Shakespeare, when the majority of Shakespeare's plays and poems were written after Marlowe's death. Even if they were plagiarized posthumously - he was only twenty nine when he died. To have been able to produce all the works that we know he wrote, as well as the works of Shakespeare he supposedly penned would have left him little time for carousing, or especially, spying for Francis Walsingham! Always look forward to your "visit" each morning.
That's aweful. God six hours? How aweful. Poor man.
Am I the only one who finds it freakishly comforting to know that humans are just as ridiculous and petty now as we were 600 years ago??lol
A newcomer as wizard. My ancestor, Michael Scott, who died in 1232 was supposed to be a wizard, and a teacher of wizards.
The first thing St Andrews’ students learn is not to step on the PH set in stone outside the entrance to St Salvator’s Quadrangle. Doing is believed to cause students to fail exams or even an entire degree.
Love that the cat got into the cat story❤❤❤❤
Whoever was the one person who disliked Im coming for you
These death sound very gruesome but that was the the time beheading torture
Boy, what a character. It would have nice to have known this man. You would have had an exciting time riding, gambling and cavorting with the court.
Wow someone who didn't lose his head and died in his bed and the other poor soul 6hrs to die if he was a Catholic he'd would have been made Saint . And a lovely look at one of your cats big too is it a tom xx
A working castle needs a legend I suppose, creepy or heraldic, whatever works. Shame on the black Friar.
Why is there a thumb down... if you don't like it don't watch
Ti2gR probably someone who thinks Tudor history is a conspiracy, which obviously Claire should have mentioned in her video 🙄
Or it is about the background clicks...
You can't be a Protestant Christian AND "dabble in the dark arts" The Bible even says "You can't serve two masters", you either hate the one and love the other, a house divided can't stand" when Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ said this He reminds us that WE believers have the Holy Spirit making our bodies the Temple of the Holy Spirit hence how a house divided can't stand, and also meaning an actual household......Anyway sorry I went off subject I suppose lol God Bless You All!!!!
The Wizard Earl was Catholic . Its only a Legend he dabbled in the Dark Arts. As an Irishwoman we were brought up on these Legends. In the version of the Legend we were taught in School The Wizard Earl and his Knights will be freed for the Spell when Ireland is totally freed from British Rule.

Who else is making reservations for March 7 2027? LOL
