It is known that the empress Agrippina, Nero's mother, wrote an autobiography but unfortunately it hasn't survived . Even though the chances are slim I still hope that this book is waiting on a dark shelf of an obscure monastery to be discovered by a courageous researcher.

I literally just watched a documentary about Nero's beginnings on Friday and that Agrippina had a sad ending. It would be interesting to know more about her from her own words.

According to the public of that time all we know about Nero today is a lie. The citizens were just as literate them as they are now. In most cases multi lingual. The slaves did all the business of the day so they were very much multi lingual. Anyway, hundreds of thousands of artifacts, letters, etc have been found in garbage heaps, graffiti, etc claiming the people absolutely loved Nero. That he was a true blessing to the citizens and it was the senate who hated him. It was they whom began a propaganda campaign against him. Much like the cia against Trump today. I'd like to know for sure which side is telling the truth. Although I know already the citizens are. Because we don't need monuments built to tell us people are bad. We only do that when they are loved and the state needs to convince the next generation otherwise.

I'm an American but I find British history fascinating. Thank you for your videos.

Brilliant, it shows that history is not always what were told and even lost or hidden histories are coming to light📜📜✒

Would love to see a video on the religious art created during the Tudor era. It was such a tumultuous time, in terms of religion, I would like to see how artists were expressing their beliefs, and what prior time periods they drew inspiration from. (For instance, the way artists of the Dark Ages patterned their Madonna and Child after Egypt’s Isis.) 🖼️ 🎨 👩‍🎨

@garyallen8824 no, I did not say or imply that I am pro-censorship. I merely pointed out that it is nice to see the physical evidence that censorship is not a recent invention. One always hears the “history is written by the victors” spiel and now we have proof.

It is fascinating what we are learning from the past using modern technology. Thank you for bring this to our attention. ❤❤

We must always remember that history is written from someone’s point of view and the facts that are presented are always bias even when when trying our best to be truth and unbiased.🫅👑🌹🏰 Dr. Kat , your presentations always look at not only the historical event, but the background, sources and the attached biases. Your work is excellent and always a joy to behold!

I would love a video on the most important English antiquaries and their famous discoveries and works. In many cases, their records and drawings are all we have of lost places and events. Thanks, Dr. Kat. Love your channel❤

I can't remember what it was, but I read an intriguing theory where it was posited that Henry the 8th's difficulty with fathering a male heir was due to Rh factor incompatibility or McLeod syndrome, another blood antigen disorder . Being in the medical field, this theory fascinated me, and the way it was presented checked out. I doubt any genetic testing would be allowed, but that would be an interesting thing to find out. Staying within the Tudor family, I think it was mentioned that Elizabeth the first may have had Marfan syndrome (but I don't think this theory is especially likely ). Fascinating video, as always.

It's always great to hear you present these bits of history

Really interesting video. When it comes to a history mystery, I've always wished that the two children's skeletons found under the tower of london were DNA tested to confirm whether or not they are the princes of the tower who went missing. I don't really understand why the royal family don't want to have that confirmed, when they were perfectly happy to provide DNA for the murdered Romanovs to confirm those bodies found. It might give us more clues as to what happened to the princes and who is to blame, but for now we just don't know.

Thank you for simply and clearly describing the background to help us understand these fascinating discoveries. As always, very enlightening.💡

another fascinating piece of history brought to light. Historians are among my favourite people and Dr. Kat is one of the most informative - thank you for your content 😊

It’s always good to remember that primary documents were written by people, with all the biases and influences that implies. 👑

I think perhaps a valuable and timely reminder that written historical documents as they come to us are not neutral or necessarily 100% accurate to real life...? Even though they do tend to be relied on so heavily in academic research, and also usually given great weight over oral or pictorial accounts (or even contextual object finds)? Kudos Dr. Kat as always for your clear, fluent & concise narration (presumably from pre-written script?) even in a livestream! Not all KZreadrs manage such a natural style when transmitting live! Gosh, an Elizabethan emoji... Perhaps this one 💎 Given how invested their monied classes and nobles/royals were in the conspicuous display of wealth at the time?! 😝

👸 Thank you for another wonderful podcast. And to think that somebody actually edited to historical documents! Who knew? And this is the best Elizabeth Emoji I could find.

🎭🪡 I love how even our understanding of history can change with new data. Love your content Dr Kat, keep it up.

Other than the obvious crown emoji, I think that some possible contenders for an Elizabethan-themed emoji include: 1. 🌍 or 🌎 (the globe) - This can obviously be because of the beginnings of globalization and the numerous colonies under Elizabeth I, but also a reference to the Armada Portrait, where she's holding a globe. 2. 💃 (the dancing woman) - Queen Elizabeth I loved dancing, so this one feels like an obvious choice to me. 3. 🧦 (socks) - This choice might seem a bit odd, but as someone who loves knitting-themed history tidbits, there are 2 well-known stories that often make me think of socks whenever I think of Queen Elizabeth I: First, there's that story about how, shortly after she became queen, a lady-in-waiting gifted her her first ever pair of knitted silk stockings. Up until that point in her life, Elizabeth had only worn/owned woven wool stockings. She was so delighted with her new pair that she declared that she would only ever silk knitted stockings for the rest of her life. Second, there was a man named William Lee who invented the first ever knitting machine; when he showed it to Elizabeth I, she refused to grant him a patent, and explained that it was because she did not want to destroy the livelihoods of those who knit stockings for a living.

Won’t be able to make the premiere but will be watching as soon as I get home. As always thank you so much Dr Kat!

This video is very, very interesting. History is written by the victors…or the successor. Thank you for bringing it to us! 👑🥳

This is so interesting. Your analysis and the analysis of the doctoral student makes sense. I know that history that I have personally witnessed and experienced isn't necessarily portrayed as I saw it. ❤❤

I had read of this discovery but found your discussion of the context and probable reasons for the changes fascinating. I’d like to hear more about the roles in court, and how people used the savages gained by these appointments. ❤

I agree that, having steadfastly refused to name a successor all this time, Elizabeth is not at all likely to have changed her mind at the last minute and signaled her approval of James. I wonder if she really would have approved of him? If she didn’t, that’s all the more reason for her to have said nothing at all!

Hello from Japan!😊

The English mystery that I wold love to hear new breakthrough evidence about is the “princes in the tower.” 👑 🏰 I enjoy your videos, Dr. Kat!

It’s always exciting to hear about what is new in the discovery of history. 🎉

I, for one, confess to feeling a tad smug when I’m vindicated. 😄 Your videos are amazing. Many thanks! 🪶📜🌹

This is absolutely fascinating! It is much more true to character that Elizabeth I did not - under any circumstances! - designate a successor.

Thank you Dr Kat, you have a wonderful speaking voice, an amazing way explaining. I have always be fascinated by history and religions. How they enter twine and how they have shaped our world. I’ve enjoyed every one of the subjects you’ve brought to life for us. So, thank you

Hello Dr. Kat! I absolutely LOVE your videos-thank you for making them. I tried to leave an emoji, but KZread wasn't having it. Instead, and this is not so much a mystery, but I have a question that has been on my mind for a while now, or a possible idea for a future video? How violent was the ‘Pilgrimage of Grace’ of 1536? I hear different versions from different historians. It doesn’t sound like it was a violent protest… or was it? How bad would it have been so bad as to scare Henry VIII? Or was he so indignant that his people would make demands of him, for his violent (and very underhanded) response? Or was he being ignorant, or arrogant, to the demands of his people? Also, were any Reformers involved? I understand that a great deal of a county’s economy often relied on the prosperity of the Abbeys… would the Reformers be concerned about this as well? Thank you- Love from Canada!

I find these kinds of discoveries so amazing. It makes me image what could be hidden, somewhere and what we could learn from it.

🧱🧱🍗 ⚔️ 🕯️ 👑..A few red bricks for Hampton Court, a swan drum stick, swords, a candle and *THE* crown for Elizabethan England. Ha! I am also feeling a bit smug with this new discovery! I have always doubted *Elizabeth I* would willing designate James as her rightful successor. I have honestly always thought she died without naming anyone. Thank you and cheers!
