What May Have Caused the Death of Elizabeth I

- Pale white skin was the signature look for the upper class in the Elizabethan era and Queen Elizabeth I's makeup was perhaps one of the most iconic examples. But what was IN all that caked on makeup? Turns out, there was quite a cost for that noble, porcelain skin as the makeup contained lead. The price for beauty? Slowly poisoning yourself. Yikes.

What historical figure would you like to hear about next?
Francisco "Pancho" Villa, or Caligula
William the Conquerer's death where he exploded.
Napoleons upbringing and how he came into power and then from there his death
Genghis Khan, Justinian and Theodora, or Simón Bolivar
Moctezuma and the controversy surrounding his death would be great!
Catfishing through paintings be like:
This reminds me of Anne of Cleves lol

Hello 👋
1600s: get poisoned from trying to be pale
2000s: get sun burnt and skin cancer from trying to be tanned
Dumbasses are only good following masses in
Jasmine H Exactly. What’s funny is that some girls are addicted to tanning.
KEHAKDHSKD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Seriously!! Why we aren’t happy or proud with our own skin color!! This is really harsh 🥺
Don't forget about all the plastic surgery and botox. Which is harmless botulism. 😕
It's actually impressive how she lived till old age with all those poisons
Impressive that she didn't kill anyone with her horrible face.
She probably became more tolerant over time since it was in small doses

Fun Fact: Women keeping their skin looking as pale as possible was fashionable for hundreds of years. It was a symbol of high status, that one was wealthy enough to not have to do hard labor in the sun. In the Post WW1 era of the 1920's, Coco Chanel became an international celebrity. She drastically changed women's fashions to more practical, comfortable, and sporty clothing. Everybody wanted to know what she was doing next. Once she was on a cruise and fell asleep on a deck chair on her yacht, and got a horrible sunburn. By the time her trip was over, her sunburn had turned into a golden tan. Because everybody was always watching what she was doing, people began to imitate her and intentionally tan themselves by laying out in the sun. And hence, the old fashioned pale white skin standard was shattered forever.
Also in South and East Asia the beauty standard of having fair skin is incredibly toxic to adolescents.
Their worth is dictated by their appearance.
Skin whitening creams and treatments are advertised a lot.
And also in Eastern Asia, wrinkles are a big no-no.
Asians from Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia etc… work abroad for richer families (eg in the Arabian Peninsula) as maids/servants.
So it wasn’t society being okay being darker. It was once again, ONLY
, for fashion aesthetics
Yeah, but now you get skin cancer and wrinkly skin at old age.
that's how you get skin cancer😶
She wasn't trying to look pale. She was covering scars she had all over her face. Painting of her qs a child prove she was always pale.

How painful and miserable it must've been for her. Having constant mood swings due to not feeling well either. Beauty can be deathly.
Elizabeth was so intelligent and well read-I’m surprised she went with the toxic heavy makeup. I’m sure they knew the ceruse was what was killing her skin.
I seriously doubt people were aware of those things back then. And if she knew maybe she felt it was a necessary sacrifice
I mean, doctors used to recommend cigarettes. We often forget how humans have had to learn all modern knowledge the hard way.
Modern medicine at that time was nowhere near as good as modern medicine today
@@kentubuchi6899 Nah-you don’t need a degree to know when something is causing you to break out in pimples/rashes or worse.
@@Davepool-hs7vr Maybe not able to fix it but they would know their skin got worse when they used something-common sense.
Dying at 69 in an era where most healthy people didn't live past 50 while poisoning herself for decades is just the definition of being too angry to die

Poor Elizabeth. I cant imagine what she went through. None of us like to age and having small pox scars must have been so hard to deal with
Okay, the use of Danse Macabre is brilliant and I loved it
If she looks creepy in paintings, she must have been terrifying in real life.
For us. In those dats she was the epitome of beauty.
She was beautiful if she was she had find other way
To me she was beautiful but if she didn’t put mercury on her face she wouldn’t be creepy

The Elizabethan age is verily known as the golden age of British history from after death of K. Henry VIII, her father, who had no male heirs (for succession). Her life was full of struggles, from Mary Queen of Scots and the Roman Catholics. She mastered the situation both within her country as well as abroad. In order to look free from ailments, she depended much on her looks.
Henry VIII was succeeded by his son Edward VI
It's terribly sad, Elizabeth is one my favourite Queens, no one had the things we have now & they suffered terribly, I've Always liked her, it's upsetting she received such negativity, I Always see her as strong independent very smart woman trying do her best for everyone & the country best she knew how, I think she was Inspiring

What’s funny to me is the fact that there were various other white (chalk) and red (berries or even blood) pigments she could’ve used, but she just happened to choose the most toxic pigments ☠️
Maybe someone was trying to poison her..? Idk.
She want high coverage make up
They didn't know it was toxic back then, and I think the berries and chalk were for commoners so she went for what was considered as high valued product idk
I think you hit the nail on the head.
It's so weird to hear someone else's voice narrate this channel than the guy who currently does it, lol. I always forget he wasn't the original voice narrator and always have to do a double take on the channel when I come across one of these older videos without him in it. I hope he gets paid well so he never feels the need to leave cause it'll be a massive blow to the channel if he does!
The question isn't how she died, it's how did she survive for that long.

HAHAHAHAHA i love u
This comment is gold
Underrated
Lmao i was thinking that too! Im so glad you said it lol
She did say it- at the beginning
She lived to be 69 years old in the 17th century. If the makeup killed her then it certainly took its sweet time.
She certainly out lived her siblings and their mothers.
she was dying very slowly apparently
loyd from the moment we are born we die slowly. Think about that 😂
Imagine she didnt wear such makeup. She may have lived till 80s or 90s! Which would be amazing at the time.
heh heh... 69
After currently experiencing moderate symptoms of covid, I can definitely relate to her not wanting to go to sleep.
you'll be fine. xo
It’s official!!! I’m hooked on this channel
“Now that’s one way to stay a virgin”
You guys didn’t have to scalp Elizabeth like this.
ethereal intoxicated canary Yeah, hating on the virgin like we’re back in the 60’s and if you weren’t sexually promiscuous you were made fun of and called a prude. For a generation that brags about sexual freedom they sure bullied each other into sex a lot 😒
Mrs LoveyDove I’ve never seen or heard of anyone being bullied for being a virgin or a prude. I have, however, seen countless females demonized and shamed as whores, sluts, loose, easy, and just generally being taught that we are nasty and dirty for having sex. I was taught to hate my body from a very young age, to uphold virginity as the ultimate indication of VALUE for a woman’s life, and when my mom found out that i had sex she spat on me and told me that i was disgusting and “used,” and that I would never be able to find a husband because without my virginity I was worthless and no man would want me. Idk what world you’re living in, but promiscuity isn’t encouraged for women, it’s not “cool,” and virginity is certainly NOT shamed. Also, there is a whole grey area between virginity and promiscuity that you’ve conveniently erased. Having sex once, aka not being a virgin, does not equate to promiscuity. Sex is natural and beautiful and sacred, and making love to someone is perfectly healthy and normal. Stop perpetuating the belief that we are either virgins or sluts. Sex is a basic biological function required for life to exist, not something that ranks or determines your worth, value, “coolness,” or acceptability. It has zero bearing on who you are as a person.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk 🤓
Erika Baumann in the past few years a large majority of people have been losing their virginities at an earlier age and there isn’t a lot of cases of people waiting, etc. with the majority of people having sex, those who choose to wait or just haven’t done so yet, there is some people being called prudes and etc for not getting laid. i was one that waited until i was with the right person and i can’t remember being called anything in high school but i didn’t really have a lot of friends or talk to a lot of people. slut shaming definitely isn’t gone, and might be at its worst so far. however i don’t think there really is a whole lot of people that stay virgins for such long nowadays so it’s kinda shifted from slut shaming to prude shaming but they’re both still very alive. it’s not perpetuating a belief, that’s just how things are nowadays. it’s different in every area so maybe around you it doesn’t happen much but it could be different for other areas. either way i agree that it shouldn’t be something to look down on others for having done it or not
Yeah but she was close to losing her v but didn't she basically chose to stay a virgin it's not that no one liked her
I love how the comments in this thread isn't even related to OP's comment. Stfu yall

She lived to be 70..For the 1500s..That was as good as it gets.

Wow. That's a long time
Weren't those people live longer than 60 years old? So, it's pretty much average.
Just an Ordinary girl no back then most ppl were dying before they hit 30
I can't even imagine the smells back then. I'm surprised they even had sex and children. The thought of peeling all those clothes off and then smelling the fermented yeast vapors had to engage the gag reflex.

Thank you for these videos. They are always interesting and intriguing. One suggestion though. The background music is too loud and distracts from the dialog of the presenter. And I found most of the music too "raucous". Could you use music that is softer and calmer?"
weird fact:
she’s know as the virgin queen but she was actually HIGHLY sexually active. The only reason she’s called that is because she never produced an heir.
