Elizabeth I: Tudor Queen (2023)

You have to love the irony of the Tudor family. People loved Kathrine of Aragon but most hated her daughter Mary. People hated Anne but most loved Elizabeth The son that Henry had to have is barely remembered but yet the daughter he shunned the most is the hair that he needed. I think that the reason she was such a successful queen is because she learned from her brother and sister mistakes. The biggest difference between Mary Stuart and Elizabeth is Mary ruled with heart not her head she was a woman before she was a ruler. Elizabeth was a ruler first and she ruled with her head. I honestly think the reason she never married was because she saw how her father wives were treated and because she was sexually abused by Tomas Seymour

I've always admired and looked up to Queen Elizabeth 1st, starting when I saw Glenda Jackson play the part of the queen in the 1970's both when they didca. Story on Channel 2 and again when she was in the movie, "Mary, Queen of Scotts."

Greatest female monarch throughout British history！What a glorious Queen Elizabeth I❤❤❤

Elizabeth got her revenge against Henry 8th for murdering her mother. She saw how he treated women ... and children. She was determined that no man would ever treat her that way. So, she never married.

They thing is, even if she would have birthed an heir, it would have ended the Tudor dynasty, as her husbands line would have become the dynastic name. Ex: Victoria was house of Hanover, but Edward VII was Saxe Coburg Gotha. Prince Philip, and lord Mountbatten, thought when Elizabeth II became queen the house name would change to Mountbatten. But, government stood up and made sure it stayed Windsor.

How sad king Henry destroyed so many wives to have a son .And it end up with a wiser ,strong daughter queen.

Regarding the defeat of the Spanish Armada, one detail is very often overlooked and it's important because it provides a great deal of context for why it happened. While the galleon was the fastest ship of the time, the Spanish were not heading to English waters for a naval fight. Rather, they were on a mission to land on English soil with the goal of starting a land war. Two things worked marvelously in Elizabeth's favor. She had intelligence from Sir Francis Walsingham that her country was in danger of attack by the Spanish and therefore could prepare for it. And then the weather changed, miraculously, in favor of the English fleet and they were able to maneuver quickly and with more agility than the ill-equipped Armada, with Drake's command, and easily cause mass casualties along with what the weather had already done to the Spanish. Spain was completely unprepared to be caught off guard in the water before they'd made landfall. That's why the English were able to overtake them.

She’s a strong independent woman who do NOT need no man 💅👠💅

I'm from India 🇮🇳 and I have always admired and loved Queen Elizabeth 1 Tudor (aka The Virgin Queen and Good Queen Bess) and her legacy. She was a really powerful and a strong woman by all means. In this day and age, when feminism is rampant and has become toxic, there are a lot of wannabe women who portray themselves as strong and independent, which is sad. Well, here was Elizabeth 1, a truly strong woman, a real inspiration.

Either way the Tudor dynasty would've ended with Elizabeth. I believe this is the reason Elizabeth never married or had children...doing both would've meant her giving up power. I don't really blame her decision.

LOVE ELIZABETH <3

Smart woman that queen Elizabeth. There is full authority & power under that crown and she denied all proposals with no regrets. Didn't phase her what was told to her she wasn't hand over the power to anyone at all 😁

Loved it, thank you!! 😍👌

Im a Virgo woman too. We are quite strong and typically have good hearts.

Out of all the Monarchs Elizabeth I is my favorite. She was strong and ruled with her head not her heart. She knew the Tudor dynasty would end regardless rather with her or because of Marriage so she decided to be the virgin queen and never take a husband. That’s power and that made her a legacy.

There's some debate now about the Tillbury (spelling?) speech. Lucy Worsley's series discusses it. From what I recall, it is now though she gave the speech after the Armada disaster. Don't remember for sure, but it is interesting that we're still learning new things about history.

She was born to be a Queen.

I call it destiny! Shw was Destined to be a queen ❤️

Because of Henry and Cromwell's betrayal Elizabeth's mother us killed. Henry goes on to destroy other women. Thus, Elizabeth would NEVER subjugate herself to a husband- who would become King, usurping the throne, according to the Royal rules of the time.

Wow, what a powerful voice! This artist's vocal range is incredible, and the emotion they convey is just captivating
