My grandmother was a 3rd class passenger on the ship that brought her to America. An officer requested someone who spoke Italian to be companion for a 12 year old girl who was traveling 1st class with her parents. Seems the young woman they had hired, backed out at the last minute. My grandmother who was 17 at the time volunteered and as a result spent majority of the time in 1st class. She ate breakfast & lunch with the family but could not attend the dinners since she did not have the proper dress, but the family arranged for her to have the 1st class dinners. One of my grandmother's favorite things to do was to eat it in front of her older sister who suffered from sea sickness.

What makes me so angry about Anne Boleyn is that people always call her a master seductress. No! Henry was an entitled ass who wanted to sleep with any woman he wanted. Poor Anne was doing her job as a lady in waiting to Catherine and then here comes horn-dog-Henry. Anne told him that she would rather be his wife than to be his mistress probably thinking that that was the end of it but noooooo! Fuckin Henry!!!

@@ladyofnoxus6733 I can agree with you, except for the fact that Anne actually fell victim to either her own or her family's ambition, which have been planted and preserved by her courtly education; that and Cromwell's intrigues, as well as Henry's changeful temper eventually lead to her downfall. It's not like she was free in her choices. She knew there's no way of saying "no" to the king, so she wanted to take advantage of the situation, unlike her sister, but paid an ever bigger price for it than what anyone could have seen it coming. Catherine of Aragon at least had the entire Habsburg Empire rooting for her and threatening Henry with invasion, while Anne was the career ladder for her cousins and relatives for many years and who couldn't even protect her, given they would want to do that for her (which most didn't want to do, they've chosen the safe path). One born privileged, only to lose her privilege based on supposed fertility issues on her part and one guy's opinion; the other being brought up in the ranks for perceived youthfulness and sex appeal, only for it to be used against her and accused of infidelity, despite being innocent (at least evidence now suggests that).

Please do a part two with Kate, she's amazing.

Not the pause to google young Henry!!! 😂🤣😂

Interesting fact Anne Boleyn was Queen Katherine's lady in waiting and Jane Seymour was Anne Boleyn's lady in waiting when Henry 8 started to cheat on her. Textbook "How you get them is how you loose them."

I like how she give her comments to these movies in such a simple direct way like we're gossiping with her..

No, you're right about the makeup. Rouge and powder, that's it. Maybe a homemade version of eyebrow pencil and mascara that you wouldn't admit to using. Molly Brown's blue eyeshadow was definitely not a thing.

The car , the Renault , make and model was absolutely on the RMS Titanic . Its inventory even accounted the vase with the flowers inside the carriage . However , the car was more than likely completely crated and would have been impossible for anyone to enter

We do not actually know for how long Mary Boleyn was Henry’s mistress. When Henry was courting Anne, there was a rumour that Henry had slept with Elizabeth Boleyn as well as Mary, I think by an ambassador. When Henry was told of the rumour he reputedly said “Not the mother,” which implicitly admitted to an affair with Mary. Cromwell or Wolsey was with him at the time, and apparently added “Not the sister either.” This implies that the affair was not that well known so as to be possible to cover it up. This suggests it was of relatively short duration.

This woman is awesome. "Alexander, bit of a nonse 🤷‍♀️" Love her ❤️

Henry VIII had only one confirmed illegitimate child by Bessie Blount. He didn’t ‘take care’ of Mary Boleyn’s children and he never acknowledged any as his own. In fact, it was Anne who became Henry Carey’s ward, and she originally helped her sister when she was in a bad financial situation after her first husband died. It’s unlikely, in my view that Mary’s children were Henry’s but I suppose it’s possible her first child, a daughter, was. Just because she named her second child (which almost certainly wasn’t his) Henry means nothing as it was just considered smart policy to name your children after powerful friends and obviously the royal family.

The myth that Henry father to some of Mary's children is that Henry gave Mary's husband money and/or lands. But Mary's husband was part of his court and many other men granted money and land too. It's interesting that none of those other men's children are similarly thought to be the kings

Very true. The comments about Henry having loads of illegitimate children and loads of mistresses are both inaccurate - or rather, if he did, we have no solid evidence of it. The only confirmed mistresses we know of other than the Boleyns are Bessie Blount and Jane Seymour (before she eventually became his third wife).

Love the commentary and facts dropped throughout. Also, she does and amazing job tying in modern culture references without seeming to try too hard 😂

My father and mother worked in museums for most of their lives. My father was a classical Sculptor and did work at the Smithsonian making figures for the various displays and Halls. My mother was a museum curator and was involved in the management of museums. My sister and I or needless to say given an education in natural and human history. One would think that this would be a great advantage and in some cases it was however when you went to a drive-in movie or to any other form of Hollywood entertainment that had anything to do with history most of the time we'd end up laughing at what we were watching because it was so historically inaccurate. So I empathize with her reaction to the movie Titanic you like the movie but historically speaking it's a bomb. For us the movie in question was the Vikings with star and Kirk Douglas. Our family was almost ejected from the drive-in because we were making too much noise laughing and pointing out all the historical errors and untruths that literally flowed from the screen into the car. Was a good thing it was a drive-in.

I believe that the reference to Mary Boleyn being called "great mare" by Francis was reported in 1585 by Nicholas Sandor, who generally wrote in a negative light about Anne Boleyn, spreading the report of her extra finger and other injurious details. I don't think there's any contemporary reference to "great mare" being applied to Mary Boleyn (just like there was no contemporary reference to Anne of Cleves being called the "Flanders Mare"). We have to be careful about these kinds of remarks, when they were applied and by whom.

Okay so as soon as she said Henry VIII was a fine piece of man in his youth I googled it while leaving the video running and then went back to the tab and the video had accurately predicted my exact behavior, kudos

Reportedly, Henry had relatively few mistresses by kingly standards and didn't have very many illegitimate kids. He had a loving first marriage. But, who knows - none of us were there. The Other Boleyn Girl was a god awful mess. PS - I love your look, Kate!

Love Kate!! She makes history fun!!

The car on Titanic would have been in a crate, and likely would have been disassembled. Also, the car would have been in Cargo Hold #2 in the Orlop Deck section, which is not accessible via a door from the boiler rooms. That's Cargo Hold #3, which was not used for any 1st Class baggage. 1st Class baggage had it's old hold next to the mail room and post office on G-Deck and the Orlop Deck, so the entire car sex scene doesn't work.

About the Titanic, James Cameron took artistic license in order to move the characters between the classes. While it’s not accurate, it was more of an illustration of the times.

Regarding Alexander- the Irish accent was very much on purpose! All the Macedonians had Irish accents (to varying degrees… looking at you, Hephaestion 👀) to set them apart from the Greeks in a way that emphasized the sort of “class difference” (not quite that, but idk how else to describe it). Aristotle and the other Greeks have fancy RP accents, and they look down on the Macedonians, who for effect have Irish ones.

At that time as well as before, the classes were separated by locked Gates. In some cases the gates prevented individuals from saving their their own lives in the event of a sinking. I don't know if this is true with the Titanic itself. Given that this happened on other vessels I would be very much inclined to believe that was the way it was on the Titanic.

@MorganChaos

Жыл бұрын

Actually, we know the answer to this. The gates were not routinely locked on the Titanic, though someone did lock them in the source of the evacuation; this did not stop anyone because the gates were only waist-high and easy to jump. The reason so many from lower classes died is because they were not told there was an emergency to get out of bed for until the situation had been ongoing for awhile, and there weren't that many employees assigned to getting third class passengers out of their rooms and moving. But they did get as many third class women and children onto life boats as they could.

I love Kate Lister. She makes social history fun.

I think I found my favorite historian right there...

Henry’s mistress Bessie Blount gave him a son that somewhat legitimized and later considered marrying to Elizabeth. He gave him a title but he died young.

I must know her lipstick colour and brand! And also, more vids with her because she’s unabashed and knows her stuff!

I can’t get enough of this lady 😂😂😂

I agree about the inaccuracies of the Titanic film. The early 1910s were very much about staying in your class. The 1st class would even look down on what they call "new money." Something the film is correct about. James Cameron himself remarked about how he took creative liberties to show the audience all the classes of Titanic and noteworthy rooms because, in the end, the story is about Titanic, its crew members, and passengers. Not the love story of Jack and Rose. EDIT: The car is not inaccurate. It actually existed on Titanic and still was not found in the wreck to this day. I think what Kate was recalling is that only two versions of this car were ever made.

Would Rose and Jack have got together? Putting aside the question of whether they would have met, the Titanic sinking was only 16 years before Lady Chatterley's Lover was published. The story was controversial because it's about an English Lady in an unhappy marriage, then having an affair with her gamekeeper. So yes, there was some awareness at the time that the aristocracy sometimes ran off with the serving classes.
