It's amazing Henry the 8th spent so long trying to have an heir when he had the perfect one in Elizabeth, She reigned 4 decades and displayed a lot of wit and intelligence

it was a very turbulent time in British history and he wanted a son to both carry on his lineage, but more important probably to him, a son he could teach to go to war and lead a resistance against the French and others, but also, to create a strong, stern King that could keep law and order back home in the UK, too. there is some logic to his thinking, if you apply values from his time to it that all said, yes, we seem to have much better luck with Elizabeth monarchs than we do with Henry's here in the UK, lol. plus, Elizabeth I wasn't so fat when she died that she exploded from a build up of gases!!

She wasn't a male

"I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married." -- Elizabeth I

I think Elizabeth had learned from her older sister. Mary let her rough experience twist her up into a psycho megalomaniac. I noticed that Elizabeth showed more resilience in spite of her rough experiences with her father.

Queen Elisabeth I was an extremely strong woman, facing significant adversity at a time when women were underestimated. Despite the difficulties women still face today, it is impressive to imagine the challenges she had to overcome. However, Elisabeth I went further and had a transformative impact on England and history.

tbh if the men didn't like her she couldn't do anything ti protect herself as she has to rely on men.

A great queen who literally defined an age. Also man Henry VIII really messed up when you think about how Only one of of his kids was a great monarch

@wendychavez5348

I think all 3 of his children had the potential to be great monarchs. Elizabeth was the only one who actually did it, partially because her brother was too sickly & her sister was too inflexible. Both had reasons for being that way, & Elizabeth wasn't free of those traits, she simply found ways to overcome her limitations. We should learn from her example, rather than disparage her family.

She was huge improvement over her sister Queen Mary also known as Bloody Mary

Really enjoyed the factual video presentation. Moreover, enjoyed the smooth and confident presentation by Karl. Late response, timeline across the pond from Austin, TX. Thanks!

7:04 “England WAS an insular and xenophobic place” yeah… that’s for sure changed 👀👀👀

Always great Karl! Keep it up mate!

I can see why Elizabeth wanted to avoid marriage because had some pretty messed up influences in that area. Even when she had a great maternal figure in her stepmother, Catherine parr, even that stepmother let her down when she married that creep Thomas Seymour.

That passport is actually kind of neat. My son here in Canada was in the same boat but his has an issue date of September 7th. The day before she died.

Man, I was so afraid that when I clicked on this video that it wasn't going to be you, Karl. I feel better about watching it now!

Canadian passport has much the same language, but also more detail, not just "Her Majesty" but "Her Majesty The Queen". Mine expires in 2 years, will have to hang onto this one after it expires as it will be my last referencing Queen Elizabeth II.

Yay! Karl!

Is that really his name?" and you said, "That's really my name!" as though you were answering my question. Im still quite amused when you explain your name so thoroughly-- thank you!

Hearing Karl do an ad read still doesn't sound right

Smallwood...big presence! 👍😎😂

Y'all should do a episode on Lillian m. Gilbreth. She raised 12 children alone, while at the same time was an early motion/time management in the early 1900s.

Richard of Bordeaux would be a epic one or cnut the great

Can you do a video about Anne Boleyn

I'm just here for the anteater

How come we don't get these on Spotify anymore?

You make a biographical video about Norman Birdwell the author of Clifford the Big Red dog!

So, not only do we have to sit through a minutes long promo speech about the channel sponsor (which can be skipped over at least) but we are stuck with youtubes invasive and annoying ads because "they say so". Our viewing interest just doesn't matter anymore if they can make money off it. And yes, I know you can skip or mute most of their ads, it's still a nuisance and interrupts the flow of the videos. Or we can give them more money and subscribe to their happy little "TV" experience.

Got my UK passport renewed recently and was horrified it was in blue/black 😭 dang Brexit

Can I make a request? I'd love to see you guys do a video on Sir Nicholas Winton - especially since there's now a film out about what he managed to do in Prague just before the Nazi invasion

How did she get the nickname Bloody Mary for burning people at the stake? Shouldn't it have been Crispy Mary? Or Fiery Mary? Burny Mary?

There’s a theory that she was swapped with a male as the child Elizabeth died

Elizabeth probably had a few affairs. I doubt she didn't.

Unfortunately it was Simon's decision to leave I believe. This is my first time watching since he left and I could not pay attention.

So one queen persecuted protestants and another persecuted Catholics in back to back reigns. Was a little religious tolerance too much to ask for?

@bunyipdragon9499

5 ай бұрын

Prior to Henry V111 wanting a divorce there was only Catholicism so Mary thought she was doing the "right" thing reverting the country back to Catholicism. Elizabeth knew by the time of her reign that it was politically expedient for the sake of the country's coffers to appease both sides. That's about the only time you'll get any religious tolerance 😢
