thanks for posting the you tube sampler of Thomas Campions music. all different but equally enjoyable. Quite the renaissance man.
Very interesting man. So sad that he wrote so much and obviously brought joy to people through his work and died with so little to his name.
This series is wonderful! I've come to it relatively late and I'm watching a couple videos every day to catch up!
Ring the bells for Campion. I love it. Great subject. I'm learning so much. Thank you.
Thank you, Claire, for bringing this poet, musician and writer to our attention. Also, Thank you for the links to the performances of his music. Your work is much appreciated. Mr. Campion's genius was not recognized for a time after his death, but fortunately his work was re-found in the late 1800's. The lute playing and beautiful singing in the links you provide are lovely. I read somewhere he may have died of plague?
Always more to learn! Thank you, Claire. :-)
I really look forward to your daily stories Claire. Tudor history (and in this case Stuart) is so interesting!
Barking dogs and bells...love it! Incredible timing with the bells, by the way. 😉 Thank you for the links...I love his music!
Going to check the links out. This was very fasinating and a bit sad. What a truly brilliant man!
Truly enjoying this series. I adore this period in history and I am not quite sure why it appeals so much to tell true!
Claire..."That's efficient for you..." LOL 😄
It was quite pleasant to learn about a man who had a life full of varied interests and managed to escape being imprisoned, beheaded, burned at the stake and so forth. 23 pounds may not have been much even then, but you can't take it with you!
I love reading the days along with your narrative. My two friends had birthdays in February and I read to them what happened on their birthday. Quite amusing discussions :)
Your notifications always show up about 6:30 pm EST...I was so interested in all things Tudor back when Elizabeth R & The 6 Wives of Henry VIII aired in the US. Thank you for rekindling that interest!
Thank you for this forgotten history will look at the links xx
Lovely music! I wondered about that triangular instrument the musician was playing in "Amaryllis" and wondered what that might be and when it went out of frequent use? And as for Campion leaving only 23 pounds...that might not be so bad after all if he enjoyed his life and spend all his money before he died traveling, eating good food and buying what he liked. No kids apparently to support. Why not?
Thank you.
I bought your book Claire!! Now I can read along 🙂
Always fascinating!
🇦🇺🦘 ... viewed on 25/02/2021 ... (Most other comments really do cover it all) ... Thomas Campion, such a multi-talented Gentleman. Thank you Claire 🔔👑👍
I have always wondered how history would have changed if Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart had met. No advisors or courtiers, just the two of them. Oh to be a fly on the wall. I love your videos! I love "talking Tudor" 😄
Claire thanks again for an interesting story! I have an off topic question. The room you're in always is so beautifully lit. Do you have a skylight? Have a great day! 👸👑🏰🎪🎭💖🙋
I had a thought. As I look at the things that were important to him I think he was the kind of person who had a O.P.B. book. This translates to Other Peoples Business. He helped people by bringing them music and poetry and by becoming a doctor. I believe that he most likely helped also by giving financially. It's very possible that he considered people more important than money. It is also likely that he gave anonymously . I like that thought.
loved hearing Campions music. thanks for this one Claire. Do you know of any connection between Thomas and Edmund Campion?
I don't think so. I haven't seen anything linking them.
What a talented and interesting person who accomplished much in life but ended up not being wealthy.
Sorry to point this out but I think you said 1520 instead of 1620 at the start of the video. I was a bit confused at first so I replayed it, and you did accidentally say 1520. No judgement, I often do that myself, just letting you know. 😊
Love these videos. ❤️
Ooops, thank you! I'm so used to talking about the 1500s.
THanks for mentioning my Mom Frances Howard!Cx
Jean Plaidy's Murder in the Tower is a great novel about Robert Carr and Frances Howard, a notorious couple
Thanks Stephanie-I read all of Jean Plaidy's novels. That's what got me started on this Tudor obsession . I should re read that one
@@Slinkynuts me too,
I don't feel he had a disappointing ending. He built a wealth of knowledge, music, poetry, and a name for himself, so much so that he's still remembered and admired centuries after his death. How many of us will leave money in the bank, assets to be split by those who inherit them, yet no memory of lifting the soul of our fellow humans, no lovely works to be remembered by?
First! Let me make a wish....
Another *Live Stream* 😇😇
🇺🇸I second that! March is Imy birthday month so that would be a nice present!🇬🇧🎁
I third it because I took a nap and overslept :( Would love to take part in a live stream on one of favorite subjects.
I will definitely do another one but I'm not sure when yet.
Can you do a video on Thomas Tallis? He was featured in The Tudors Season One and want to know the true facts about him?
I've been aware of Thomas Campion since my early twenties, oh so many decades ago. I had heard he was also a soldier and a lawyer. Am I confusing him with someone else? Could this have been during what you call his "quiet period"?
Claire I signed up for your blog, but nothing showed up in my yahoo in box, did I do it wrong? And as always thank you for all the work u put in for these wonderful insights into Tudor history🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
It would be worth checking your spam/junk box to see if it's in that. Thank you!
WasThomas Campion related to St. Edmund Campion, who was martyred by Elizabeth I ?
I don't think so but I'm not entirely sure.
Do I understand correctly about marriage, if you had ties to court you had to get permission to marry. What if you lived on Baird or Lords, Dukes land and worked the land or providing service, farming, cooking. Could you get married or were you to leave?
If you served the monarch closely, like a maid of honour for Queen Elizabeth, then you were expected to get the queen's permission to marry, yes. I'm not sure about those in service to nobles. I expect that they did have to get their employer's blessing.
Prince Henry? Do you mean the elder brother of Charles I? Who might have been Henry IX, had he kept his Christian name as his throne name? 🤔
Yes, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales.
