8:16 Bess and Henry’s affair ended LONG before Fitzroy died. He did die young, but lived long enough to get married and died in the year of Anne Boleyn’s execution. Henry spent a full 7 years courting and trying to resolve his “Great Matter” to marry Anne. So things were definitely long done between him and Bessie by the time Fitzroy passed.

Margaret Tudor was Henry's older sister. Elizabeth of York was his mother. She is not mentioned in this video. In fact Margaret was the only actual "Tudor" mention. I was hoping to get Elizabeth of York, Francis Brandon, Margaret Douglass or Catherine Brandon, actual Tudors.

I love these videos. I knew about most of them, except Bess Hardwick. She lived to an extraordinary age for the times. If she owned Chatsworth she must be a direct ancestors to the Spencer family, including Princess Diana.

Mary Queen of the Scotts was primarily a Stuart and a Guise, not a Tudor. Mary of Scotts was related to Queen Elizabeth I (a cousin) through Princess Margaret Tudor, King Henry VIII oldest sister and daughter of Henry VII.

As a second son of the monarch. Henry was sent to learn to be a priest. He embraced that life as he was the second son, and that would be his road to power. Then Arthur died and well... doubt he needed any help writing his little book.

Bessie wasn’t the only woman to give Henry a son. Jane Seymour, Henry’s third wife gave him Edward, who ruled briefly upon Henry’s death. Interesting that you forgot about his legitimate son and heir.

Actually, it was said in the video that “ something only one of the other wives could do” so Jane and Edward were not forgotten, it was about Bessie not Jane

I believe once Elizabeth became queen, noble families just started sending their daughters to be presented in her eventual wedding. At that time, being a maid of honor for a royal wedding was the coming out to society for young women that cotillions are now.

Elizabeth's maids were virgins waiting for their chance on the marriage market. Serving the Queen was a springboard to a brilliant match, so competition for places was fierce. The Queen had to make sure they didn't get into any hanky panky and ruin their reputations before they found a suitable match. It not only made them worthless on the marriage market but was also a bad reflection on her reputation. So, if any of her maids married without her approval or broke her rules, they were severely punished.

Two points: Mary of Scots had abdicated. She wS noi a Queen and was not entitled to unusual privileges. Plotting murder and the overthrow of government are not permissable pastimes for anyone, deposed Queen or private citizen. I wish you would stop treating her as a victim. She deserved her treatment and I say that though she is a distant , and disreputable, relative.
