"Would it be interesting to anyone for me to put together a vid-"YES.
Yes. The answer is always yes.
That's exactly right!
The answer is *ALWAYS "yes,"* Dr. Kat 😂
Anytime you think a video might be interesting, it's guaranteed that we'll find it so & love every minute.
Timepieces? Yup. Animals in portraiture? Yup...
@@NageelaMom those 2 subjects in particular do sound extra fascinating though 😁
YES!
I'd be interested in seeing what Tudor-era timepieces looked like...especially any unique pieces only available to those who could afford them.
Yes please. I remember watching watching a documentary about Buckingham Palace and it included the man (at the time) who was responsible for the clocks, winding all of them and changing the time on what I believe is over a hundred clocks. I'm not a clock person but do find these older clocks fascinating. They are really pieces of art.
Oh, I would love such a video!
Yes, please! Happy New Year to you and your family!🕰
Really liked this video...do you know which portraits Edward received fron Kateryn Parr?
Yes timepiece video please, also what a Christmas royal party 🎉was like.
I think part of the difference in the gifts was how the 2 girls where raised. Mary was a Princess until she was 17 years old. She was loved and pampered by both parents throughout her childhood and still treated extremely well through her teenage years. She grew into adulthood with whatever material possessions she wished for. Elizabeth lost being a Princess while still a toddler. As a little kid she was neglected by the court and her father to the point that her governess had to beg for money for food and clothes. She had outgrown her clothes to the point of indecency. Having such a different background when growing up would account for the differences in gifts alone.
if she was neglected to this degree, she probably had no money to buy gifts
this is damn sad by the way
A video on Tudor Timepieces and one on the little Marmosets that were gifted to the Tudor Royalty? Yes, Please!
Also, more New Years gifts next year? Ditto! ⏲⌚⏰🕰⏳🕛🎉
I think the timing of Cromwell's gift, which seems to be gifted before Anne's downfall, of the French King's children, was like a promise of the children Anne would give Henry VIII. At least this is the only sense I can make of it. Happy New Year all and a very joyous and prosperous 2024.
Yes. I had a more detailed response but it got deleted. It was before his rise, but already at court.
I had the same thought
I think the difference in the gifts the two Tudor sisters give is likely due to their age difference. Mary is already grown, giving grown-up gifts. Elizabeth is learning the necessary skills and then gifting proof of her mastery to those she loves, just like any child giving what they can make as Christmas gifts. Have yourself a very Happy New Year dearest Dr. Kat!🎁
I think this is an excellent explanation; I agree! 🎁🎄🎁
Yes! This is the macaroni art for the very wealthy.
I'd love to see the embroidery gifted by Elizabeth. It sounds like she probably did a lot of it.
Likewise it sounds like it would have been really nice as she would have had access to the best materials and it was made for a king
Yes, please do Tudor time pieces. I think if I had been in the position to gift to King Henry, I would have given a scientific instrument. 🎁
I would love to see this topic revised next year with the gifts of the Henry's children.
A video about the monkeys would be interesting. Also, I'm a Cat Lady, might you do a video on Cats during Tudor times and in the Tudor Court? Were Anne Bolyn or Elizabeth I particularly fond of Cats, or even a video on Tudor pets in general would be nice. Really enjoying your content! Thank You and Happy New Year! 😺😸
I agree with the commenter above (I'm also a Cat Person). And you mentioned the "menagerie" kept at The Tower - a video about that would also be interesting, I think. 😺🦁🐯🐻🐒
I love the thrummed hat - it would've been very warm on a freezing cold day. The 'thrums' are small lengths of unspun wool that are wrapped around a knitting needle and pulled through the stitch being knitted. The ends of the thrums are left in place inside the hat and as it was being worn, the thrum fibres would soften and felt together. I've made thrummed mittens in the past - very warm and toasty to wear 😊
I'm picturing it to look like sherpa lining - is that correct?
@@melissawilliams3356 It would be very similar, because of the knit stitches on the outside and the sherpa bumps on the inside 😀
🎁
I think the table fountain was fascinating. The description of the way that water flowed from the teats of the women depicted makes me wonder if it was a fertility reference from Anne to Henry.
This list of gifts really makes the song “12 Days of Christmas” make so much more sense-I’d always thought that giving someone a total of 23 birds was more than a bit odd, but considering Henry’s various animal gifts, it seems a bit more reasonable
I had never really thought about it myself until I learned more about the 12 days. It all kind of falls in place now.
I had commented to someone about the number of birds of all kinds Henry got through in less than 12 days!
I think I would've given Henry VIII a pair of hounds (dogs for a dog). I would also love to see a video on Tudor timepieces which I hope will include the clock at Hampton Court.🐕🐕
Absolutely enjoyed this video. It brings to mind the old saying, 'What do you give the man who has everything?' 🛍️ 🎁 I would have loved to have seen All embossed, engraved, sewn, stitched, etc. items. The handiwork must have been so beautiful to behold. Thank you for your great channel. 🍷Happy New Year🍷
I'm also intrigued by the fact that such extravagant gifts were given to (the future) E6, when he was just a baby! Really shows the symbolism of such gifts, as opposed to actual practical usage!
I still want that tree that grows Terry's Chocolate Oranges.
I had the honor of seeing one of these gift rolls for Elizabeth I at the Tudor Art and Majesty exhibition at the Cleveland Art Museum this past year! Thank you for this video!
This is SO fun to watch. I did my college thesis on NY gifts in Elizabeth's court (she once received a diamond encrusted bodice) and i loved it
For the record, if you DO decide to do one for Elizabeth, the gifts Mary Queen of Scots gave her over the years were quite interesting.
❤Hi Dr Kat ❤ Thank you for another year of content that helps us Want To Think❤ May 2024 be less emotionally bumpy for all of us❤
You're the highlight of my day! Superb content 🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I think I'd have given Henry a pair of fine horses. Hopeing he'd be pleased. Wonder how many put themselves into great debt to please there king. 😢
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, your knowledge and your humor. Continued success in all you do! ❤
Yes on the TIMEPIECES research and YES on the MONKEY CONNECTION. Perhaps it was simply a fad, or perhaps had meaning or ... AND yes on continuing ~ but staggering ~ videos of the Gift Lists of different reigns. GREAT RESEARCH and VIDEO here. Happy New Year! 😊
That's fascinating. I think making her gifts could involve a range of things. She appears very clever, but I think this showed someone who had an imagination, skills in the art of needlework, probably art and enjoyed them as leisure activities. I seem to think Mary (Queen of Scotts) also gave hand stitched gifts including to Elizabeth? I seem to recall reading that her half sister Mary had been a sickly child and perhaps she never really developed an interest in the arts. Maybe she didn't have the imagination? She was a good musician.
Thanks! This was super interesting and uniquely informative as always and that's a fantastic idea for a follow up video buta whole year? Come on everyone maybe flattery and bribery will work. Lol! Happy New Year all! ❤😊
Please cover the New Years gifts of Henry's kids' reigns. I wonder whether they gifted each other and if so, with what? There were religious tensions between Edward and Mary and between Mary and Elizabeth, after all.
I conquer, a video on Tudor time pieces would be lovely. I would also like the video on Lady Catherine Parr. ⏱️🎉
Make the video on the changing significance of monkey imagery. Understanding the codes and symbolism in art is it's own kind of history reading and ALWAYS interesting.
Best wishes Dr Kat for upcoming 2024 for you and your family ! 🎁
I imagine that the little embroidered bracer for the 2 year old Prince Edward may have been an accessory to the nursery toy collection where there may have been a rocking horse, various miniature replicas of adult items like a toy bow and arrow and swords, typical of imaginative play. Perhaps the little Prince could’ve worn it as part of a dress up costume at that time.
Thank you for another truly interesting history lesson; I'm a fidgety person, but I sit still for your videos, no problem 🙂I hope you, and all my fellow viewers, have a healthy, loving and prosperous New Year! 🎉🎉🎉
What would I have given Henry VII? A bloomin wide berth!
Thanks for another year of fascinating and informative videos Dr Kat!
Maybe Cromwell was drawing an analogy between the French Queen's fertility and the hoped-for fertility of Anne Boleyn, who had grown up in France? IDK, most logical explanation I can think up.
Clocks and timepieces have always fascinated me, so I'd love to see you do the video you suggest on Tudor timepieces.
Wonderful premiere & history! 🎁💚
A 🎁 for the 👑???
Videos on Tudor timepieces 🕰️ and on the animals 🐒 would be very interesting! Also the pictures of the French king’s children. Strange gift!
Wow, and we think people TODAY are stressed out about holiday gifts... Super interesting to see what we know and don't know about gift-giving practices of the past 😁
I think the "esposier" may have referred to a small posy holder (vase) on a chain. Posies were carried to ward off plague in medieval times and a man would prefer to keep one on a chain hung from a waist belt as opposed to carrying it in his hand...seen as too effeminate at the time.
Ooh, this is interesting! Thank you for this suggestion ☺️
Hmm, new stockings to cover the sores, new bejeweled cod piece for next portrait. Perhaps some perfume to cover the funk orrr a new marriage? So many choices!
🙈🐒 For my favorite received gift 😅 Ever since I first heard about that insane fountain, I've wondered what ever happened to it. I wonder if Henry had it destroyed when Anne died?
What a great way to end the year! I would love to see a video on Tudor timepieces. 🎁
Thank you for this video! I find it very fascinating to see the gifts given and hear the value place upon them at the time. As for the differences is gifts given to Edward by his sisters, is this perhaps based upon their own preferences and value to gifts. I know many people place a higher value on handmade gifts as they are often seen more personal. It seems based on those mentioned for Elizabeth she gifted items she made personally to family members but perhaps her age was also a factor as she was much younger than Mary. Happy New Year and All the Best in 2024! 🎁🎇
I love that Elizabeth made her own gifts. I think this says a lot about her character creativity and also the people who are caring for her.
"...our Lord in a box" is cracking me up! Thank you for this tour of gifts. It provides an intimate look at the relationships these historical people had with each other.
Cromwell's gift of the heirs to France is very interesting. I could see that Henry could be a person who was inspired by the success of frenemies (at least until he wasn't, in which case, you should just leave the country), and this gift could be like dieters putting photos of body types they would like to have on their fridge. Perhaps his gift was some sort of inside joke between them that we don't know about.
I wonder if Mary's bought gifts, as opposed to personally made, was a result of the physical ailments she suffered through her life. It's hard to embroider on a deadline when you're anemic. I'd heard that each of Henry's children had a color that accompanied the Tudor green for their livery, etc. (Mary chose blue.) I wonder if Edward's was red, as both of these gifts had a ruby. In any case, red was a royal color as far as sumptuary laws went. For her second gift, the choice of a saint gift makes a statement as to where she stands in the middle of religious reform. If this was a novel, I'd say it's a foreshadowing of their relationship when he became king. 💝
Wish you a happy new year! Thanks For all your hardwork!❤❤❤❤❤
Yes please for clocks and timepieces! Happy new year Dr. Kat! 🎁🕚

Thank you for a very wonderful video. 😊 If I were at court after he married The Lady, I’d given simple and unadorned but of the richest materials I could afford. Maybe a prayer book?

Happy New Year to you 🎉 Yes I think videos on the timepieces and monkeys would both be interesting. 😊
Yes please! I'd love to see a video on Tudor timepieces! 🕰
Lovely! Up my street. While Im at it, my belated congratulations for the bookshelf re-do! Im about to do something similar. My new section will start with s volume I noticed that we share...The Tudor Chronicles. What a lovely book. Most space will be occupied by successive editions of the BCP and the English Bible. I'm preoccupied with the English Reformation(s) and our interesting and sometimes baffling language!
Please dont forget Reginald Pole....cant wait!
Happy New Year 🎁
I find the gifts given revealed the relationship with King Henry 🎁🎉 Happy New Year Dr. Kat! Looking forward to ‘Reading the Past’ episodes in the coming year. I greatly appreciate all the time spent as you research the interesting topics you share. Cheers!
Love your content ❤🎉
Thank you Dr Kat! I loved seeing the Civet...I had never heard of one!! Please next year could you do a video on the NY Eve gifts if Edward vi? That would be fascinating I think!!
Happy New year to you and your family x
Thank you for this most interesting and imaginative gift of a video😊.
Both your ideas, that of a study of Tudor watches and New Year's Eve children's gifts sounds fascinating.
Happy New Years! 🎁
Can I just say again how fabulous you’re looking? I hope the new year is wonderful for you!
Yes, please do a follow up video with the other ruler’s gifts next year! ❤🎁
