England's Virgin Queen: Her Story & Facial Reconstructions Revealed | Royalty Now

Ойын-сауық

Elizabeth I lived a life of tremendous ups and downs. In her 69 years, she was at one point a bastard Princess, a prisoner, and a glorious monarch - ruling as a woman in her own right. Elizabeth was one of the most astute rulers England ever had. So what did she really look like? In today’s video, we’ll explore her life, history, and true appearance. We’ll discuss which portraits of her may be the most accurate, her resemblance to her mother Anne Boleyn, and of course reveal some re-creations.

Yet she remained calm, was irreligious, sought reform and finally, marketed herself as a lifelong virgin (what a stroke of genius!). England was blessed with her reign. I'm taking notes.

    She was brilliant. I feel a close connection with her bc I study Latin and Ancient Greek. Most people don't know that Queen Elizabeth was also a scholar. She was so good at Latin that she could improvise a speech in perfect Latin. She read Ancient Greek, I've heard, every day with a tutor. That's a side of her most people don't know. Her first tutor, Roger Ascham, praised her for her brilliant intelligence.

    She paid a high price for being England's Queen. She was magnificent, & her true beauty was in how she led her country through some very treacherous times. She is my favorite woman of all time. Imagining her on her horse, giving her famous speech to her men as the Spanish were starting their invasion, still thrills me. That people still know in 2023, 465 years later, not only her name, but the story of her life better than their current leaders, no matter which country they live in, kind of sums it up perfectly.

    She was considered beautiful when she was younger! It was after the smallpox and the scarring and heavy makeup that she wasn’t considered as beautiful anymore, but people did describe her as beautiful when she was younger in court, especially compared to her sister Mary. Also similar to her mother Anne, it was her intelligence and confidence that made her even more attractive even if some of her features were not conventionally beautiful, her personality made her very desired.

    Elizabeth failed as a queen by not producing an heir which led to the gunpower plot and eventually the English civil war. Her successor James I because he didn't have a legitimate right to the throne, just like Augustus did with Caesar and Stalin did with Lenin, Deng did with Mao, created a personality cult around her in the manner of tyrants throughout history, which has persisted to the present day.

    That would have required her to take a husband. Picking the right husband was a near impossibility. No matter who she choose a civil war almost a certainty when she produced an heir. The family of her husband would then be at odds with other families who felt they had a more legitimate claim to the throne. She had already seen enough intrigue and didn't want anymore of it.

    Just when I think you can't outdo yourself, Becca. My word. This is just such a vivid recreation: Elizabeth just leaps into our world, and comes to life! I love how you captured her humor and wit in that image, too. I've got to stop as I'm gushing, but I think other images to kind of round out the Tudor collection would be: Henry VII, Edward VI, Mary I (Bloody Mary), Philip II of Spain, and Robert Dudley would be so awesome to round out the family (and I do consider Robert Dudley to be an honorary Tudor as he would have been one if he could have, Roberts have to stick together after all lol).

    Elizabeth’s story is both fascinating and sad at the same time. I feel like if she were respected by her father more, her life would’ve been very, very different. King Henry the 8th might’ve lived longer, as well, because he might’ve wanted to spend more time with her, instead of shunning her and killing her mother. Great video as always! I always admire your work and dedication! Could undo a video on King Henry the 8th, Cathrine Parr, and China’s only empress, Wu Zeitan? I’d love it if you would! ☺️

Elizabeth I truly was a mix of both Anne and Henry. She had the famous red/gold Tudor hair and pale complexion, with her mothers beautiful dark eyes and oval-shaped face. She had her mothers intelligence and charisma, but her fathers fierce temper. One can simply imagine the sheer power she held when standing in her presence.
