If she was a man I believe her mother would not have been killed
Excellent point
The little girl died after her mother died.
Yes, that's what I thought.
You missed the part where it was said that the real Elizabeth died at the age of 10, and a boy imposter put in her place. Of course this silly story isn't true, but if it were true, that would have taken place seven to eight years after Anne Boleyn's execution. Thus,, according to the story, Anne Boleyn gave birth to a girl, her only living child at the time of her execution was a girl, and the switch was made seven to eight years later, and even then it was without the knowledge of Elizabeth's father, Henry VIII. Thus, although the story is highly unlikely to be true, the fact that Anne Boleyn was executed is actually not evidence against it.
@@VoxDeiUniversity No, actually, it is not.
Just because a woman doesn’t want to be controlled by a man (ie married), makes her a man 🤣🤣
No it makes her the anti Christ
She was turned off of marriage because of what happened to her mother. She didn’t want a man to reign over her and she wore wigs because she lost her hair.
And wore make up to cover up her pox scars. I don't understand what's up with everyone thinking every woman they see is a man somehow. Not every woman is born looking feminine. Every person on this planet looks different and has unique characteristics.
Anne Boleyn was no big factor in her daughter's life. The child was barely 3 when mommy died and she was raised away from court. Elizabeth was far more influenced by the role marriage played during both her father and her sister's reign.
@@valkyriesardo278 So her perception of marriage was what she saw when her father was with his wives.
@@valkyriesardo278 Actually, the child was 2 years, 8 months, and 12 days old when mommy died.
@@SaraMarie23 I rather think that the "Elizabeth was psychologically scarred by her mother's death, Jane Seymour's death, and Catherine Howard's execution and that's why she never married" theory is overwrought, unlikely, and unnecessary.
If Elizabeth had married a foreign prince or king, he would have brought foreign influence with him, and England was xenophobic. Her sister Mary had done just that, and it had rendered her unpopular.
If she had married an Englishman, it would have divided the court.
And marrying anyone would have diminished her power. This last, I think, was the most important to her.
The sixteenth century was a very different time than the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, during which Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II could marry without causing problems.
I was very much not a man. They only wanted to create confusion and drama. You see, when I declined the duke of Anjou's proposal he was mad. He did spread those fake rumours. Shame on him
We know its not really you lol
@@82leegary The Queen Of England, doesn't need to reply.
@@82leegary Why do you destroy magic? Let his majesty speak
how so
This rumor only started because she didn't want to get married...the only thing I don't believe is that she was a virgin... she wore a wig because she was losing her hair.
It's nonsense Elizabeth had ladies whose whole reason was to serve the queen dressing undressing washing. Her mother was executed before she was 3, her stepmother died in childbed next one divorced next beheaded next survived but died in child after her next marriage. Do u need anything more to answer why she didn't marry
That would have made Lord Robert, Earl of Lester, a homosexual.
Why would she pretend to be a man? Pretending to be a woman would gain nothing.
Indeed. A woman pretending to be a man in that period of time would make a lot of sense. The other way around? No sense at all. She would gain nothing, but lose a lot in a world, where men reigned supreme.
After all the many more or less insane theories about Elizabeth, this has to be the most non-sensical - and insane.
Edit: Oh, and how on Earth was she supposed to get away with hiding being a man? She was surrounded by ppl, including in her bedchamber, being dressed, being bathed etc 24/7. Which is also, why the theory of her being pregnant and having an illegitimate child is absolutely ludicrous. Both are conspiracies, that would require dozens, if not hundreds, of ppl to be in on it, and no1 gossiped or were bribed by "enemies" or foreign powers etc?
He wouldn't have access to the throne
I’m not supporting this idea of Elizabeth 1st being a man !!! I’m more with she refused marriage because of what it brought on her mother. She used heavy facials to cover chicken pox scars. That’s all. I have great admiration to her. I also appreciate opinions getting Christianity in one church ⛪️ One people under one God💒✝️☦️🛐
It was smallpox scars. Chicken pox never scars that badly.
Because of this, I actually want to get a sweater jacket costume of Elizabeth, but I don't want to be labelled as gay.
lol if she were a man her father definitely would've known about it and wouldn't have allowed her to be raised as a girl
I didn’t ever think she was a man, I just friend the theory interesting. Great video!
in a garman documentary i heard that her father sent her to a family so they can care of her and they killed her when she was a young girl, then replaced her with a boy from the local town
That is the most rediculous suggetion ever,
Theory: she was a born a girl and died in whatever place her father left her in after her mother's execution and her caretakers got scared and wanted to still receive some "Medieval-Child-Support" so they buried her and replaced her identity with an orphan ginger boy, and maybe they cut him down there to make sure he can never be a man even behind closed doors
That is the most ridiculus thing I have ever heard.

I'm glad you concluded with your belief that Elizabeth I was a woman. I don't see any possibility that she was otherwise. To my knowledge, there weren't any doubters about her sex alive during her reign, or, if there were they were never taken seriously by their contemporaries. Besides, that would have made Robert Dudley, what, a gay man who also happened to marry more than once?? Somehow that doesn't fit the narrative of Elizabeth being a male.
So much has been written about Elizabeth and so much of it is hearsay or pure nonsense it beggars belief. Why does this queen of all the myriad European monarchs that ever existed still fascinates so many to this day? She polarizes people to such an extreme that her admirers worship her as an angelic figure and extol her endless virtues, while her detractors condemn her as an unworthy usurper that visited England like a plague for nearly half a century.
She knew from everything she went through as a child and then barely surviving her brother and sister's reigns that if she got married she would lose her power and she believed that she was placed there by divine right! This way she also got to use the possibility of a marriage to another royal house as a bargaining and diplomacy tool for many, many years. She also had the example of how dangerous childbirth could be just from her sister Mary. That's how she got the throne, remember. So she would be very concerned about not making the same mistakes and she didn't need a man to prop her up like Mary did or wanted. She was just as much of a force as her father. So I don't see it having any truth to it.
they found a coffin with a 10-11 year old skeleton in it where she supposedly died.
Mary never experienced child birth. Hers was a false pregnancy, the baby bump eventually receded. Current speculation is that she was never pregnant but had some form of abdominal cancer. Elizabeth built on Mary's good ideas, but learned from her more grievous errors. The English were against the marriage to a Spanish prince. Mary was militant Catholic and Elizabeth preferred to reduce the disruptive effect of religion on the peace of the realm.
Mary did not die in childbirth. She was never pregnant. She had a hysterical pregnancy and her husband never touched her because she was older by the time they married. He actually stated her "pregnancy" was much more likely to end in a burst of wind than a child.
Her reason for not marrying is because of what her father did to her mother. Had she married her husband would have been the king and outranked her as the ruler. This is reinforced when Mary Queen of Scots was abused by her husband Lord Darnley.
The whole idea is insulting to the memory of Elizabeth and it insults the intelligence of everyone else.
Stop lying she was a woman
She would only let her own physicians treat her … um, you mean like the current QUEEN of England?
Good video 👍
She had a strong male energy about her.
"VICTORIA'S SECRET". Shhhh.
Queen Elizabeth I - first ever drag queen?
Queen is mohameds bloodline she is drag
I highly doubt that the Queen would have had any chance of being infected with a sickness. She was isolated and highly protected for that reason (the plague).
is there any photos ?
TBH the same thing has been asked about Queen Kristina of Sweden (who coincidentally happened to be related to Elizabeth’s stepmother Anne of Cleves and was also the great-niece of Elizabeth’s would-be suitor King Erik XIV), even during her lifetime, and for her, it was likely just a hormonal thing at the least.
Wow why? if she were really a man it would have solved all her dads problems with needing an heir n her problems of running a country without the problem of her gender this is so stupid of a rumor
If rumours about Sir Thomas Seymour with Princess Elizabeth was true, surely he would have known and shared his findings........
S/he was an incredible monarch so whatever was or was not makes no difference in the end
Do you know who you talking about
Elizabeth is my favorite royal. Fantastic woman
well, she had several lovers, so....doubtful
Related to her through Joan Beaufort as her great grandma was Margaret Beaufort, there is a possibility of a vanishing twin mutation in the family(dad 2×intestines)
What about the Space Aliens?
In most of her portraits, she sure LOOKED very much like a man.... extremely manly in most of her portraits.
I would have NEVER allowed a painter to paint my portraits where I looked so manly and hideous, as she was made to look.
The painter would have spent some time in the tower, for some of those hideous portraits that were churned out.
No other female monarch looked as manly as she looked in her portraits, in their own portraits.
Even if she wasn't actually a man, she either looked extremely manly ( 😱) or she had some terrible painters.... And I can't imagine her allowing those paintings to be promoted, UNLESS she was really that ugly.
well remember, she got sick and was scarred, so that doesnt really make you look like a model
She might have wanted to look a little masculine because in her world that's who held power and she didn't want anyone thinking she couldn't hold the power given her!
Well we have to keep in mind that drawing women as men was a popular style for many artists, even into the 1800’s. It was supposed to make women look more powerful if they were in such positions having traits of men in art. So don’t blame the painters, they were quite literally doing their job.
Well my goodness. A portrait is not a photograph. Keep in mind that the standard of beauty was not the same in Elizabethan England as it is wherever you are. Holbein painted portraits of King Henry that were deliberately tweaked to flatter the king as he wished to be perceived. I do not doubt that Elizabeth required the same of her portrait artists. She understood the importance of image. She was far more concerned with depicting wealth and power than feminine charm.
i- mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm dont start a comment debate, i dont think she was a man..? she just didnt marry??? thats not how history works lady, no disrespect-
These days she could identify as anything she wanted, even a packet of Tudor crisps. She's a women and very capable leader and interesting character.
LMFAO planet you tube is a law to itself
No, she was NOT a man. Why are we even having this discussion? She was a productive leader with a strong will and was loyal to her title. But above all, she was an astonishing woman. WHY is that so hard to accept for some people?🤬🤬🤬 To even suspect she was a man is just misogony, and it pisses me of.
Bases on the sculpture on her death bed, she was a man. Observe the forehead, it was a man.
She or he had a rather severe appearance. Emphasis on the word - severe.
Ion care....SHE WAS A BOSS PERIOD
I didn't didn't watch this. The notion is beyond dumb and time shouldn't be wasted talking about it. As pointed out below, if she were a boy her mother wouldn't have got the chop. In addition, every single thing about her long reign would have been infinitely easier. Mary would've not been issue and Edward VI would've been a spare. Why would you associate your face with this noise?
If she was a man how could she just have been a beautiful feminine queen, unless at that time hormones where available.
I think she was more likely gay
Interesting. We won't ever know really but I doubt she was a man.
Victoria's Secret... 🤔🤔🤫
0:38 The plague... Maybe? 🤔
Don't be so ridiculous.
Queen Elizabeth I was non binary 🧛♀🧛♀🧛♀
I see
"Allowdid, a man writ " what terrible grammar ? 😳
NO
She was a man , had hair on her chin. Wore wigs as she was balding 😂
Tudors are evil usurpers 👿
Have a drink on me.. AC/DC..the queen mother is my royal hieness great grandmamama. She changed suites to fit the establishment of Pairlament to continue in monarchy; not a great choice, nevertheless she bolstered future reign choice, freedom from tyranny and oppression if you might and could possibly find it. Unfortunately her Pride seized her convictions of a pleasant world of unity, trust and
Maybe it's true 😶
Its well known that most of them where trans or androgynious like serpent
This is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever heard period🤣🤣🤣
Because of this, I actually want to get a sweater jacket costume of Elizabeth, but I don't want to be labelled as gay.
Anything to get attention do it
