SUMMARY:
- Elizabeth only managed to escape execution by assuring Mary that she didn’t have any part in the rebellions. She was still kept under house arrest for almost a year, though.
- Elizabeth’s predecessors died before they could produce an heir, so she took the throne.
- Once she became queen, Elizabeth’s advisors started a campaign to make flattering portraits of her. Later on, these depictions would include details of classic goddesses like Venus or Diana.
- Elizabeth was adamant that she wouldn’t marry any man in her lifetime, and she stood her ground. After all, she was a dedicated leader married to her country.
- Being the Virgin Queen didn’t prevent Elizabeth from becoming the subject of all kinds of rumors. One of the most viable was that she was in love with her lifelong friend Robert Dudley.
- She was very, very elaborate about her looks, and spent over 4 hours a day getting ready! Not only did she want to look immaculate, she also had other ways to stand out in a crowd…
- While the Queen herself was always shining in her beauty, she required her ladies to only wear black or white, making them pale in comparison.
- When she was young, she was gorgeous. But after a bout of smallpox, Elizabeth was left with facial scars and hair loss.
- At the time of Elizabeth’s reign, sugary stuff was pretty expensive and reserved mostly for the upper class. Well, she used her position as the Queen to the fullest in that respect.
- Despite the fact that her mom, Anne Boleyn, had been executed, Elizabeth loved her dearly, albeit secretly.

Hey guys, which of these facts had you known before you watched this video?
What so funny
Looks like a *****thriller*****
I didn't known any. I guess i need to watch more!
🗿
Pretty much all 😂 idk why? I’m such a nerd 🤓

By the way, Queen Elizabeth was also skillful in arts, poetry, swordsmanship, rhetoric, Greek, German, Spanish and Latin languages, and just like King Henry VIII, she is also excellent in music. She also played a stringed instrument called lute.
Her first language was probably Welsh as her nanny/governess to whom she was very attached was Welsh
She was also a fearless and accomplished equestrienne. Her beloved Lord Robert Dudley was created Master of the Horse, partly because this gave him enviable physical proximity to Elizabeth, but also because he could keep up with her during the hunts that she loved.
@@grumpyoldman1618 Yup -- Blanche Parry was literally paid to rock the cradle of Princess Elizabeth. Welsh-speaking Blanche was later appointed to watch over Queen Elizabeth's jewels, so she was as trusted an insider as was Kat Ashley.
Henry was a genius of the first water who was ruined by being king
@@cathryncampbell8555 and TV
She bathed more often than other people at court and was a genius when it came to languages
Faith Roberts I think I heard that she bathed once a year, and in her own words, “whether it was necessary or not!”
@Mark Gable she's my favorite historical figure
yeah like 5 times a year. more often then the others but not alot
@@ktkclipper It was once a month. The quote is true, though.
She had a wonderful bathtub at one of her residences, styled after the Roman baths, where there was a furnace beneath the floor that was kept at a temperature hot enough to warm the water to her liking. Lots and lots of herbs and flowers were released into the water to scent it, and she actually really enjoyed the experience. Other people did not like baths at all, because they had to undress in drafty damp rooms and bathe in water that was either cold or lukewarm, and likely at least somewhat polluted.
Queen Elizabeth was a Big fan of Shakespeare's plays. She was very obsessed with them that she never missed a single show.
What a heart wrenching relationship she must have had with her father. I could not imagine loving the man who killed my mother.
He was very unkind to Elizabeth, as well
And all the other ones too!!
I really don't think she loved her father
She ended his terror by not
Leaving him what he Really
Wanted ! Not only that
She faced his hatred , he casted her off killed her mom.
She was suppose to
Be a boy . the best way
To deal with her father
Is. By not giving him what he Really Wanted , And males can't
have children so
Henry got what he wanted
A boy ( queen) men
couldn't have children . so she couldn't leave a inherreance to him. The continuation of his thrown.
It was a win win for the queen.
You are so right!!!
It's so moving and telling that Elizabeth always kept a picture of her mother near her in a locket. I've always found it strange when people try to over-analyse and come up with conspiracy theories as to why Elisabeth never married and had children. The reason most likely was because she came from a dysfunctional corrupt family and she did not want to repeat history ... quite literally. After all monarchy and marriage did not mix well with the Tudors. Also, not having heirs may possibly have been revenge on her father as there was never another Tudor king ... it was a woman that ended the dynasty ... one of the most powerful women in history.
Her father immediately banned his older sister Mary or Margaret(the one who married James IV)'s line from the Tudor throne. Elizabeth could be getting revenge that way too by not banning her line from the line of succession
It is clear to me that she did not marry a man because she was traumatized by her horrible father killing off her mother and the way he discarded women. He’s pretty gross. I find it interesting that the Church of England started because the Catholic Church or Pope at the time would not annul his first marriage so he could marry her mother Anne. I can’t imagine how horrible those times. I got to say - I don’t blame her for not wanting to marry. Not a mystery to me.
LauraMarie Taylor Same here
She also saw what marriage did to her sister mary and how it took her down.
Agree
I am to understand that she despised her father and upon her assention to the throne, had all his portraits removed from the various castles in which she lived.
LauraMarie Taylor yes... I've watch some opinions about that in a documentary dedicated for her on CZcams... Forgot the link tho
Him: you probanly learned her from school right?
Me: wrong! i learned all about her through her mother's band
Yassss

She spoke latin, Italian, Greek and English. Really good at all 4.
Queen Victoria could speak English, German, French, Italian and Hindustani. Maybe she was the monarch who could speak more languages than any other before and after her
she spoke even more languages than the ones you mention. She spoke spanish, french, flemish. And I read somewhere that she was learning either welch or scottish or both. So she was extremely well educated and her teachers from university thought her as clever and well read as any student (male) at the university.
@@jayyy9587 Queen Vic or Queen Elizabeth I?
@@jeonmyungdae1212 sounds like a pretty good question to me
Seriously who is/was that person/commenter talking about?🤔😥😣😫😒😖😕😔😧😩😳😵
@@jeonmyungdae1212 She or he is talking about Queen Elizabeth I. It is true that she was extremely well educated.
Elisabeth was very fond of Anne of Cleaves who protected and cared for both Elisabeth and her sister when they were children. Anne of Cleaves became a 'good friend' to the king after their divorce and both sisters and their father spent many Christmases with Anne and her court. Elizabeth erected memorials to Anne when she became Queen.
Anne of Cleves became a universal Tudor aunt, an she is buried as close to the high alter, as would be appropriate, in west minister abbey, and it was Mary Tudor herself who authorised that. Shows by what esteem she was held.
Isn’t is Anna? ( I’m not so sure)
ella faubel Anna Van Cleve (said: Cleyf)
@@ellafaubel6800 In Cleves it was Anna, in England it was Anne. Just as Catherine of Aragon, was Catalina in Spain.
"You probably remember learning about Queen Elizabeth I"
Me: "Nope! We don't talk about that in history"
Same here. Everything I know about Good Queen Bess came from reading on my own. We didn't learn about the Plantagenets, Tudors, or Stuarts in school.
@@houseofschenck6230 same, but its because they are Not Important for the history in my country I guess
not in america
We were taught about WW1 and WW2 along with the boar wars... Didn't really learn anything particularly interesting at all.
@@houseofschenck6230 I learned all of that in school here in Croatia 🤷
You made a mistake you said that Mary was know as Bloody Mary because of how she dealt with the rebellions when it was how she dealt with the Protestants
Actually. You are both correct
The name came from her staggeringly high execution numbers--for both rebellions AND burning heretics.
Protestant rebellions
Yup
2:55 Elizabeth never married because she knew that she would have to give up most of her power.
Back then, the wife had to obey the husband regardless of her power or status.

🏩🎨🕠
That actually makes sense
i doubt it cause mary found a way out of this, she would’ve been expected to have a marriage identical to mary’s
Those 40 years Elizabeth I reigned was considered England's Golden Age.
She was quite the woman.

@@IblewuponyourfaceIII It was a much better time than the reigns of her predecessors, maybe not as glorious as the Victorians made it out to be, but a decent time of relative peace, prosperity and national pride nonetheless. You could call it a silver age, if you like

I'm starting to think that I watch a lot of documentaries..I knew all of these :o
I hear you! Queen Elizabeth I is one of my favorite history topics, her and ancient Rome.
Indeed, then again those are pretty common facts about her. I think that almost all are mentioned in the documentaries I saw about her.
I only got clickbait
I like to watch history vids
I have to agree with you
Fact : Elizabeth I was the first monarch born a Protestant. Her mother, Anne Boleyn was already a Protestant and she persuaded Henry VIII to convert.
You forget, her younger brother (and predecessor on the throne) must have been born a protestant too, and he was the first raised a protestant. Henry never permitted the church to be protestant, and is still referred to as a reformed catholic church.
.
Gaynor Henry remained a devout Catholic.
WRONG!!
Henry was still asthetically Catholic, the reformation was mainly about power, and him becoming head of the church.
Actually, she was the first royal born of the Anglican Church. It classified as Protestant as opposed to Catholic. However, since Henry VIII created the Church of England to marry Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I was the first ANGLICAN royal birth.
she was an amazing woman. everything about her is so interesting🥰💯✔️
I'm subbed to you
@@joshadventureplazes 🚬🧔🏻✨🆗✔️ 🖤🤍
Beautiful❤
8:07 that split second scary face
Notice how portraits from that era makes them look as though they have no eyelashes.
Or eyebrows, I think I remember reading somewhere that noble women had both plucked by servants.
pumpkin one
She was a ginger and had very pale lashes that barely showed according to what I've heard. And she probably lost those when ill with smallpox.
They plucked them out including their eyebrows and foreheads-it was the fashion at the time.
It could be also that after many many cleaning they came off, just like Leonard da Vinci's Mono Lisa. They only found this out when they use various scanning equipment on it and were confused about why other prorated done by the same sitter, perhaps by Leonardos hand or by his apprentices, had them still on.
Redheads often have blond lashes and brows. I do...
Her not getting married had nothing to do with her image all had to do with power
Quite right, she did not want England to become an appendage of a foreign power, and quite right too. Two world wars have been fought to avoid that since
Your right
...and personal freedom
@@lisatroup9218 Mostly power
u dk that 😭
Henry VIII wanted a son so bad not realizing it would be his daughter who would be one of the greatest monarchs in history.
I've always been fascinated by the Tudors, I was even in the house of Tudor at school. I've visited Hever castle in Kent, England, where Elizabeth's mother, Anne Boleyn (Bullen) was born. There is a cabinet with Anne's knitted baby clothes and it felt very strange being that close to them.
Could you go into more detail, please? I've been to Hever Castle many times and never seen such a cabinet. Nor can I find any mention of it in books/online etc. Plus, would such garments have lasted that long?
So lucky 🍀
I believe the narrator is confused. The pendant he mentions containing Anne Boleyn’s portrait miniature was actually in Elizabeth’s ring -which has survived and can be Googled.
yes, it is a Checkers . You can get replecures but they are so expensive.
The narrator has not mentioned Lady Jane Grey, who was placed upon the throne, when Edward died, ...he seems to have forgotten about her.
Lady Meg Henderson Jane didn’t last very long.
@@justsaying4352 No, I know she didn't dear, 9 days, poor little thing, just a pawn in John Dudleys game of chess, ah well.
Lady Meg Henderson I literally just watched a documentary on her today and I think it was called “The Forgotten Queen” or something. So crazy. Kinda sad too.
She was know as the 9 day queen.
@@lisashears1399 known not know.
When I was researching her mother Anne Boleyn, I remember reading somewhere how she was present during her mother's execution and how it took place when she was two. It might be possible that it traumatized her and that's why she never married, due to not wanting the same treatment from a possible husband as her dad treated his wives.
Elizabeth was not present when her mother, Ann Boleyn was executed.
i don't think so. She was strong. doesn't fit her.
I don't think she is there though she is there I mean at 2 years I don't think children will remember that
Her mother’s part is so heart breaking
She never wore the same ensemble of clothes twice......sleeves, ruffs, underskirts, overskirts, were all mix and match
Barbara Lindhjem That does make way more sense than what the narrator said! Also, I read that she had at least one of Mary's dresses adjusted to fit her.. She wore that.
what about uNdEr wEaR
Pana 0319 they didn’t really wear underwear because it would take too long to go to the bathroom because of all the layers. The women wore a shift, which is basically a dress, to protect the clothes from sweat and stuff to help make clothes stay clean longer (but I don’t know how well they would have worked because tbh I would be sweating like a pig with all those layers and I feel like the sweat would soak through).
Lol maybe ur right.
@@LogibearYT we need to check this in the history books.
You skipped the fact that Edward VI tried to change the line of succession by naming Lady Jane Grey his successor.
Nick Doe well, his uncle Thomas Seymour was really responsible for that. He tried to marry young Edward to an equally young, Lady Jane Grey. Her father was involved as well. She wouldn’t have necessarily been his successor but his queen and wife and then any children they had would be heir to the throne, not Mary or Elizabeth. But he was caught in the act of trying to kidnap the king. Apparently, the king’s dog started barking and alerted the guards. Unfortunately, Uncle Thomas killed the poor dog but too late. He was discovered, thrown in the tower and later beheaded.
Young Edward was being controlled by the Dudleys to do that, it was in order to prevent Mary becoming Queen, because of the prospect of England being brought back to the Catholic faith on her knees, that happened anyway.
She wore a ring with her mother's miniature portrait,across from her portrait...in a tiny secret locket ♡
Anne Boleyn would be so proud of her tho 👑✨
If anyone is really interested in Elizabeth, Margaret George wrote an amazing and well researched historical fiction book about her.
Oh there are MANY well-researched books on Elizabeth I
Mellie D I coincidentally just bought that 📖 even though I kind of promised myself I wouldn’t since there’s so many books about her and I mostly stopped liking her years ago.
*Well researched FICTION? lol*
Amy Sayers ...well yeah. This author in particular is very thorough and her books are extremely accurate, however she will fill in the blanks with her own interpretation when necessary and she always says at the very end of the book which parts may not be 100% historical fact. So you still learn a lot but it doesn’t feel like you’re reading a text book.
Thank you Mellie D! I’m going to head to the library in a little bit and see if they have that book.
I've always found her an absolutely fascinating woman. I was aware of all of these facts.
Boleyn is Deed, But Her Memories in our minds
She was a Perfect Queen
Greetings to You Our Queen ❤❤
Thanks for this! I got a History Exam coming up about Tudor Kings and Queens and this really helped with me with Elizabeth!
Elizabeth didn't marry because she couldn't. If she had married a Spanish prince she would have upset France and vice-versa. To marry would have meant losing power to a foreign power or antagonize allies. She couldn't marry an English duke or earl because that would have alienated factions at court. To remain independent she couldn't really marry without either putting herself or England in danger.
Elizabeth didn't marry because she didnt want England to be an appendage of a foreign power, as her sister did, but most of all she did not want to upset her people, Another foreign marriage would have done that.
Without King Philip II, Elizabeth might not be alive. Philip advocated for her to Queen Mary I for them to get along & not to have her executed. Philip reminded her of that especially after her pirates keep plundering his gold from his Spanish ships but Elizabeth was ungrateful.
This gives some misleading information. Robert Dudley married as a teenager the first time. While he and Elizabeth had been friends since they were about 8, they were hardly a romantic couple at the time Robert married Amy Robsart for love. Amy died about 10 years later under suspicious circumstances when Elizabeth was queen. Because of those suspicions and the fact that Elizabeth was wary of sharing power with any man, even Robert Dudley, she didn't marry him. After about 20 years of trying to change her mind and not succeeding, Robert, now the Earl of Leicester, married a second cousin of Elizabeth. When Elizabeth found out, she was furious and banned him from court for a while. But relatively soon, she forgave him and took him back, but she never allowed his wife at court. Leicester's wife, btw, was the mother of the Earl of Essex. His story is another important part of Elizabeth's life. When Elizabeth died, 15 years after Leicester, it was discovered she had kept a miniature portrait of him along with the last letter he sent her in a small keepsake box next to her bed.
GoGreen1977 this sounds so sad
So romantically devastating
@@heyjingxuan What's really sad is how Robert Dudley is treated in the film "Elizabeth." Joseph Fiennes make a "fine" Robert Dudley until the script writers besmirch his reputation and honor. He never betrayed Elizabeth (unless you consider him eventually remarrying later in life to be a betrayal). Robert stood by Elizabeth through thick and thin, and, in their way, did have a long, successful relationship of almost 50 years. Not bad considering the times they lived and the challenges they faced separately and together.
She never removed her Ring, even when the doctors recommended it towards her death. It had started to grow into her skin and was causing infection. She is believed to have died shortly after its removal by the doctors.
"You probably remember learning about Queen Elizabeth I in school, right?"
No, I'm too busy learning about her from horrible histories.
*Most amazing facts about queen Elizabeth I* shows thumbnail of Anne Boleyn.
Hamburger Helper can’t tell if you’re serious or joking because that is a portrait of Anne Boleyn. Second wife to Henry VIII
@@dragonfireartstudios8051 That's a portrait of Elisabeth as a teenager, but for some reason they've photoshopped in Anne Boleyn's necklace, if you look up the original painting of Elisabeth she's not wearing it
Anne Boleyn had dark hair, Elisabeth was famously a red head
Charlie Louise Huh.....wonder why they photoshopped it then
@@dragonfireartstudios8051 clickbait.
Hahahaha
Here's a fun fact since the video said she never wore the same thing twice Queen Elizabeth The First had to be very creative because she had a parsimonious budget because she didn't want to request more money reluctant to give parliament more power ! Also, she had her own secret service since there were catholic powers who wanted her dead she keep eyes and ears everywhere it's displayed in one of her portraits ! She was wise in never let anyone know her true feelings gentleman at court believe she had a capricious nature ! She deserves to go down in history as one of England's greatest monarchs ! P.s two hundred years after her death the country of England would celebrate her ascension to the throne ♕ !
I completely agree with you except for one thing. Queen Elizabeth I should go down in history as one of the World's best monarchs.....period 👑
@@angelmorningstarr9504 you're absolutely right Angel Morningstar in my opinion she's was the greatest because she overcame so many adversity that would've destroyed other rulers men and women both ! Elizabeth the First was a savvy ruler and politically astute, and now after watching this "2018" version Mary Queen of Scots I'm disappointed in the portrayal of Elizabeth frfr ! Thanks for your reply I appreciate it very much long live ♛s !
@@queenbess001 I haven't watched it yet but have been meaning to. I went to boarding school in England and i find their history so interesting and of course the Tudors were my favorite. Ever since i saw 'Anne of a thousand days' starring Genevieve Bujould and Richard Burton as a wee little lass, i have been captivated especially with Anne Boleyn. As you so correctly mentioned, Elizabeth was incredibly intelligent, politically astute and savvy enough to have single handedly brought England out of its substantial debt with empty coffers, into what we now call 'The Golden Age'! Also marrying anyone especially the ones being pushed on her would have meant that her husband would become the King which would have placed him in the first position of power placing her beneath him. Having seen and experienced the fragility and politics of marriages especially court ones first hand as well as the Catholic (amongst others) agenda to seize the throne from her one way or another, i don't blame her for never getting married. It is so lovely to talk with a kindred spirit my new friend 💙
@@angelmorningstarr9504 wow, you're very intelligent an I feel the same totally enjoy meeting someone who's into English Monarchy like myself I'm totally a Anglophile !
Many of her gowns and materials were gifts.
I think i learned more things on youtube than i probably did in school.. 😂
At Hampton Court, poor Catherine Howard,15 yrs of age, went screaming down the main hallway begging for Henry to relent upon his edict of her execution...Elizabeth a young girl of twelve was in the rooms outside and it affected her. Marry a man as a Queen you could face your doom. Catherine's ghost supposedly can be heard still screaming on occasion!
She was 19 when she became his wife and 21 when she got beheaded so it can't of been 15
Elizabeth I is buried WITH her sister Mary in Westminster Abbey.
And there is an inscription in Latin on their tomb, translated in English as: "Partners both in throne and grave, here rest we two sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, in the hope of the Resurrection."
Yes, and Elizabeth is probably rolling in her grave.
Mary's remains are enclosed in the bier which is topped by Elizabeth's remains and her effigy: www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-commemorations/royals/elizabeth-i
@@tovangar very interesting, many tanks.
HER tomb was on TOP of Mary's. Representing how Elizabeth overshadow her sister
After decapitating Mary Queen of Scots Elizabeth kept the pearls from the jewellery Mary was wearing and put them onto the English royal crown
Abbigail Brugma
Those pearls were a gift from the Scottish nobles after Mary was imprisoned.
The bit about her wearing her mother's jewelry is actually really sweet.
I didn’t learn about her in school, I learned about her in a show called THE WHO WAS SHOW and you helped me learn more thank you btw🤗
1) She was around during Shakespeare’s “Romeo & Juliet” .
2) She was Protestant, while her old sister, Mary was Catholic.
3) Her rein was considered the golden age of England.
4) Mary Queen of Scotts was her cousin, who had been given a choice to either be exiled or be beheaded. This was because Mary was caught, along a few other followers within the Queen Elizabeth’s court, committing treason. Mary Queen of Scotts was Catholic and the Catholic Church hated the idea of having a Protestant Queen sitting upon the throne of England.
Well, Mary Queen of Scotts requested her execution, in which Queen Elizabeth would have to attend. Some say Mary did so for 2 reasons:
1) avoid humiliation for being exiled.
2) the Catholic Church would have had her killed for failure to eliminating the Queen.
You need remember back in those times the Church had just as much power as a Queen or King. And just like her father, Queen Elizabeth was a stubborn and knew her own mind.
You could say that’s just one of many reasons why so many women & young girls look up to Queen Elizabeth I...including me self.
M
She was not captured because of her coup against Elizabeth but her ex-husband.... She was first captured in Scotland and then she fled to England asking her help and instead Elizabeth held her captive for 2 decades and her beheaded her.
It wasn’t the “Golden Age”, propaganda.
Once I saw Anne Boylens necklace I instantly clicked on the video-
4 hours to get dressed !!! Guys these days would just faint. I’m the Queen I would want to stand out too !!! Ornately dressed in the best fabrics and dresses makers !!!

Illigetimate! MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS HAD RIGHTFUL CLAIM
So... what's going on at 8:07.😲 Pretty scary if I do say so!
Elizabeth and her younger brother Edward VI favor each other, particularly in the portrait with her red dress. They all resemble Henry VIII in different ways, but Mary definitely looks like the female version of him.
Something about Elizabeth I that was not named in this list. Her ring of state was a locket and had a picture of her mother hid in it. Her relationship with Robert Dudley broke off because it was rumored that he killed his wife to be with her. She was vain but she was also a genius. Elizabeth didn't marry because she had seen how her father treated a few of his wives like Catherine Howard and Anne of Cleaves. However, the incident with Thomas Seymore probably cemented in her mind that she wouldn't marry because she would never be able to be sure that the men who sought her hand weren't looking past her to the throne.
According to the Act of Succession (I think that's what it was called) signed by Henry VIII, Edward was first in line. If he had no issue, then Mary was next. If Mary had no issue, then Elizabeth was next. Edward, sometime after he became King, altered the Act to say that, upon his death, Lady Jane Gray would become Queen, which she did for a few days before Mary seized it back from her. Every article I've read says Edward's alteration was illegal, though I haven't read why. He was King, and the Parliament voted for the amendment, so wouldn't that have made Lady Jane the legitimate Queen? I may dig a little further into that at some point.
Kevin Michael Easter's Multiplex don’t quote me on this, but I believe it was because they didn’t want Jane Grey’s family to take over and be the next line of succession. I can’t remember where I read that, apologies.
I think it was because there were still living Tudors on the direct line or something like that...
Elizabeth I has strategic awareness, she is one of very few women capable of devising strategy. She could be calm and composed under the pressure of Spain great invasion.
"Oh Dudley" 🤣🤣
“Fun fact number 1, she was nearly executed by her half sister”🥲
It's not funny
Elizabeth I was a polyglot, being fluent in 8 languages.
* 4 languages
I've never learned about her in school it took me til I got 18 when I first found out about her
I love the humor that the informationist gives, talk about sibling rivalry!!!
Long live the Queen💖🇬🇧
There are quite a few historical inaccuracys in this video
Even tho' I'd heard most of the facts on this video, I still enjoyed it. History is so compelling... even when spiced up w dental advice. 😂
How nice that she wears her moms jewelry to remember her
This is a great video and the dialogue with it.
*"Oh, Dudley"*
Everyone forgets Queen Jane 🙁
Yes
the fact that Anne Boleyn had the last laugh was true because she would go on to reign for 45 years
Thanks for this vedio I love it
Well, one correction you need to make... Even though Parliament kept "badgering" her to marry--- There is ONE MASSIVE critical point you skimmed over. At the time of her ascention and reign, ***IF*** she ever married... The Husband by legal default automatically became her superior --- Yes!!! She'd **LOSE** her sovereignty. Her husband by rights, would have been MADE KING-- BY ***Marriage***
That!!! and the fact She was surrounded throughout her life by political "Vipers" Mary Stuart (whom, herself, was tossed out of her own country by a sham-scandal ( the Casket Letters), from Scotland), Philip of Spain, The Pope (seeking to reinstate Roman Catholicism) the King of France, and lastly toward the end of Elizabeth's life-- Robert Devereaux, 2nd Earl of Essex!--- Like I said a couple of lines above--- Surrounded on all sides by Vipers!
John Maxwell considering Elizabeth was a Queen Regnant, it was entirely possible for her to marry a man who would agree to only be a consort. Her half sister Mary married Philip II of Spain and the legal prenup stated them to rule together and not one having power over the other.
@@luca5152 Yeah, but that would be just one more person wanting to knock her off, so that they could take the power.
@@roberttreasure1986 : I thank you for your reply.... One thing I discovered watching a documentary on CZcams, over the past 24 hours discussing "Life" (as opposed to Death Masks) taken of historical individuals--- It talked about George Washington, and his surviving Smallpox... They pointed out George Washington was more than likely made him sterile (which would explain why no children with Martha) I've only gone to about 4 websites... None really talk in-depth about that complication... So Unless proven otherwise, I kind of have to think (because Elizabeth, in her early adulthood suffered from Smallpox--ergo the white Lead-Based make up) --- The whole hereditary line would have come crashing down in the end, anyway!

Mary, Queen of Scots was the rightful heir to the throne. The man who married Elizabeth I, would be King only in name. He would be "King Regent." Elizabeth would still be in charge.
BOSS QUEEN!!!
She had a small pillow embroidered with the words, "If you can't think of anything nice to say, come and sit by me, and we will play all day". That was in reference to her man friends.
Loved this video
Elizabeth had thousands of gloves, because everyone who wanted to kiss up to her gave her gifts, and gloves were a favorite. They were pretty expensive -jeweled, embroidered, furred- without breaking the bank. For courtiers who wanted to go the extra mile, sleeves were well received. Sleeves were tied onto bodices so they were separate articles of clothing and they could carry A LOT more embroidery and bling.
Her makeup contained white lead and mercury which was probably a reason of her death. She always looked so fair and her lips were red because of applying the hazardous makeup. She did that to conceal the scars caused by the smallpox.
The fact that she was not married is not a “surprising fact” - it’s one of the most famous things about Elizabeth, if not THE most famous thing about her. Also, the fact about ladies of the court being unable to overshadow Elizabeth? That was the same for men and every person at court. No one could upstage the queen.
Queen Elizabeth one of a kind monarch on this earthly kingdom, established protestant-ism at England.
Dressed for war with a heart of a king, just to encourage the morale of her soldiers to defeat the Spanish Armada 2x.
Rumoured last word on her last breath ''All my possessions for one moment of time''
You got a couple things wrong but other than that, good job! I knew all of these, I have an obsession with queens and England. Specifically the Victorian era, but this era is cool too. I got into this stuff because my love of porcelain dolls, lolita dresses, andddd Black Butler! Fun fact, she attended and love bear and dog fights, like most people at the time. She was imprisoned in the same place as someone she knew, I believe that person was executed there as well.
Wow!that was amazing
It’s really sweet that Elizabeth admired her mother and wore the jewellery her mother wore
Cathien of argon and Jane Seymour be like 👁👄👁: great there's goes my child's shot of being queen/king
(Catherine of Aragon)
Queen Elizabeth technically poisoned herself because of all the poison in the makeup she was wearing.
6:59 same girl samee..i also admire that Boleyn girl
She was obsessed about her hands and she would do anything To show them Hence the many pair of gloves and everything hand related
Queen Elizabeth is a most powerful queen.

How about Queen Victoria?
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL I don't know, because I love only my queen and my own king.
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL maybe
What about mary
That a lot of her step mothers took care of her and loved her dearly.
I love that she married england!go girl!
Ik it's late but I haven't watched this in so long, so I just found this again, sooo Hi!
Elizabeth I is the Greatest of British Monarchs! And the Tudors it's most Influential Royal Dynasty!
Sometimes fate prevented her marrying. For example, Henry made the odd attempt to marry her off, but they all fell through because of her questionable legitimacy and her mother's reputation.
Thanks for the story
Queen Elizabeth wearing sunglasses at 4:23 is mood😂😂😂
2:29 Wow that is a beautiful painting.
