Seems there were a couple Throckmortons in Tudor history. I have them a bit muddle in my head. I'm going to have to look them up & get them straightened out. Very informative video. Thanks!
@@anneboleynfiles I find Tortworth Court to be equally wonderful! It's one of my favourite noble seats along with Grimsthorpe. May I ask, Claire... may we eventually expect a video on Anne Calthorpe, Countess of Sussex? She seems so very fascinating: reformist, divorcée, exile, prisoner...
It always amazes me how bitter the fight between Catholics and Protestants was at this period. I was Protestant and grew up in a Catholic neighborhood. We had squabbles with the Catholic kids but we didn’t want to kill them. We were all good friends. But the country wasn’t so deeply divided against each other then. Sad to see all this hate encouraged.
Charlotte Nugent I was raised Catholic in a Catholic city, and I met my first Protestant and first Jew in our city's Public high school. It was a bit like getting to know my first Martians, but we too became warm friends. ✌️😀
@@Cor6196 Catholic cities & neighborhoods vs Protestant cities & neighborhoods... now they're becoming secular & athiest cities & neighborhoods. Such a shame that a distinction and animosity grew & festered for so long between followers of the teachings of Christ.
Yeah but at least it’s gotten way better, I go to an all denom Christian high school so Catholics and Protestants mix, there’s some arguments but NEVER any bullying or animosity. Crazy to even imagine wanting to imprison let alone kill any of my catholic peers.
It was Sir Walter Raleigh. And yes they were 2nd cousins 1x removed. I just did part of my family history to calculate the relation. Elizabeth is also my 2nd cousin but 11x removed. And Francis Throckmorton is my 3rd cousin 10x removed.
@@roxymcdonald6518 You are RIGHT! I happen to be a direct descendant of both of them though my paternal grandmother named Helen Thockmorton at birth. When they settled in Va than to Freehold New Jersey, where that part of my family has been for centuries. @Nine and Vine We are related!! 😁
So much intrigue with Mary Queen of Scots! Its hard for me to sympathize with her because if she had the chance she would have killed Elizabeth.I'm pretty certain of that. Thanks Claire
Throckmorton seemed to have the same as luck as Mary Queen of Scots. Not sure how he thought he would be successful in deposing Elizabeth I though. Racking must be just horrible. I wouldn’t have the ability to hold anything back just thinking of it.
The mother of the Tudors was Beaufort. HOwever, the mother of the bride that brought the two sides of the Wars of the Roses was Eliazabeth Woodville, Queen of Edward IV. From what little I know about her she seems to have have fam,ily roots in Luxembourg. Claire, is she too far removed from your Tudor theme not to warrant a look into her background? Thank you so much for the ,most wonderfully interesting postings you make. It is such a pleasure to read them. To return fully into the Tudor milieu, Is there any basis for the story that Anne Boleyn spent time in Ireland, specifically at Leap (pr. Lep) in County Offaly. I doubt it, but am more than happy to be corrected. Thanks again.
Elizabeth Woodville's mother was Jaquetta of Luxemborg, Peter Ist of Luxembourg's daughter. Anne Boleyn's fathers family were the Earl's of Ormond and at one time she was slated to be betrothed to one of her Irish cousins to settle a family dispute. This fell through but later her father became Earl of Ormond. The family seat of the Earl's of Ormond is in County Tipperary.... so there is certainly an Irish connection, but whether she ever went there, who knows?
Sounds like he got what he deserved. Poor Francis Walsingham was badly treated by Elizabeth, who never seems to have appreciated the lengths he went to in order to preserve her life.
I'm a Throckmorton! I had no idea my family's name had so much history to it. So cool.
Tudor History is just SO fascinating! Thanks again, Claire, for all that you do!
My pleasure!

Yes, they were a very prominent family. Job, Nicholas, Francis, Elizabeth... and the Throckmorton seat, Coughton Court, is a wonderful place to visit.

Thank you for this information. I’ve been spending more time on family history and it makes it easier to hear you tell these stories.
Found a lot of Throckmortons in my ancestry. Didn’t know anything about them at all.
My 12x great grandmother was Alice throckmorton. she was a cousin to Bessie and Catherine Parr
Always intrigued with anything Mary Queen of Scots!!
So fascinating. I’ve not long discovered my direct ancestors are Throckmortons and this was very informative

Was Sir Francis Drake's wife, Bess Throckmorton, related to Francis Throckmorton?
Yes, he was her cousin.
I thought that Bess Throckmorton was married to Walter Raleigh not Francis Drake???

Mary Stuart was the rightful queen of England as Elizabeth was illegitimate.
I did not know that. Thank you for the interesting video and the history lesson. ❤
My pleasure!
@@anneboleynfiles I can see your channel the History channel or The Smithsonian Channel since you are that awesome

Yes, Walsingham was definitely a man to have on your side!
