Poor lady.

Worth noting that William Seymour was a descendent of Mary Tudor (Henry 8th sister), via Lady Katherine Grey. Their marriage strengthened her claim to the throne and any child would have more claim than James’s child.

...and that's exactly why the reigning monarch insisted that anyone close to the crown needed permission to marry..to avoid those kinds of claims. Anyway, Arbella's claim was not as strong as James' was. James was the great-grandson of Margaret Tudor via her firstborn SON (and through her first marriage to a king, albeit of Scotland)....he was ALSO the great-grandson of Margaret Tudor via her daughter trough a second marriage....THAT daughter's FIRSTBORN son was his father, while Arbella's claim came through the second son of the daughter of that second marriage. Not nearly as strong a claim.

@@leanie5234 I agree James individually had the stronger claim. The risk with Arabella and Seymour joining together would be it brings together those who wanted to follow Henry 8th will which put Mary’s decedents before Margaret’s (Edward also stated they were his successor), and those who wanted an English monarch (and not join the two kingdoms). If they had a child it had a strong claim from both sides, whereas James’s child would only have his claim handed down. I don’t know if Arabella was marrying for love or power, either way it didn’t work out

NO A DECENDANT OF Lady Katherine Grey who married Lord Edward Seymour

Is it me or was there just a large amount of female heirs to the throne after Elizabeth? She also did have male cousins too, but it seems there were more ladies than men overall.

When Edward died, there were eight female heirs to the throne, one being Elizabeth I. So, Henry VIII tore a hole in the earth for nothing.

The name Arbella is so cute😊

I’d love to see if you could find out more about Henry Fitzroys mother, Elizabeth Blount.

I've not heard this name since I was a child. My Great Aunt wrote a book about her, and I always held Arbella Stuart in high regard after finding out about her. Thank you for sharing her story,

Wow I feel bad for her all she wanted to do was get married and have a normal life but she couldn't have that and it was considered a crime when she did get married that's insane. ☹☹

Her grandmother Bess of Hardwick was a good friend of Elizabeth 1stBut Elizabeth was freightened of anyone who could have a claim to the throne.

How do you know that. Bess of Hardwick was no friend of the Queen

Fascinating… I’ve read about Bess of Hardwick, but little on Arabella..what a treat..thanks!

So sad what a waste of life. Beautiful lady. May god rest her soul

this is abs. one of my favorite videos on this channel to date. i enjoy the topic choice and the research done to support the narrative. imo, you make this nearly seem like a contemporary account; very exciting, in its own right.

Thanks for doing a video on Arbella! I just recently learn of Bessi and her nickname, Building Bess.

Thank you again and again! Love them all

Thank you for this astonishing story!

Super interesting it is the first time I have heard of Arbella. Keep up the great work.

Very Interesting, Thank You! ✨

It’s beginning to seem that the Tudors (from Owen Tudor to Queen Elizabeth 1) were unlucky with heirs but relentless when it came to other family members reproducing. Outside of their control. What would have happened if Mary Tudor, sister of Henry 8…had produced a male heir with the king of France? Would he have ended like Mary, Queen of Scots?

@carag2567

As a male heir? Not likely. Mary's life was spared for as long as it was because she was a descendant of Henry VII via Margaret Tudor, her grandmother. But she was a woman. A male heir wouldn't have been seen as a threat but an asset because of Male-preference primogeniture.

Fascinating subject matter and a very informative video.

She was a rival they wanted to control.

I like how Elizabeth I was always so hard pressed to let any woman get married just because she didn't 🤦‍♀️

Love this channel

I wonder if she was held captive in an effort to prevent her claim.. and kept from furthering her line to secure the future.

How tragic I hadn't heard of her before what a sad life she lived 😢

This is terrible! She seems to have had no allies. Poor girl

The "Firm" was tough, even then!

Thank you.

Can you do a video on the Grey Sisters. Jane, Katherine and Mary. Katherine was Elizabeth’s heir after Jane died. ❤❤

Here is a thought. If James hadn't been King of England, would he have commissioned the KJV translation of the Bible? How would Christianity as we know it have been affected?

Arabella had an interesting life and story. However, I'm curious as to why no one ever talks about the other Tudor heir, Lady Margaret Clifford, Countess of Derby?

so sad...

She was beautiful!

I still don't understand why she's wasn't ever allowed to marry. Bc they weren't trying to force an arranged marriage on her. Eas any child she might have be a threat to the throne or some such? I don't get it & it's not clear in this video as to the reason.

What heartless rulers both James and Elizabeth

She actually looks like Elizabeth the 2 that just passed away she really did it’s like a twin put her hair on the portrait and you will see it as well check it out and be amazed. ❤️

What dribble

Arabella was treated very unfairly and should have been allowed to marry like a normal person. The problem is she was too important, so any kids of hers would have been rivals for the throne.

Not Arbella, but Arabella.

I sincerely hope that the Tudor family line is finished! What a bloody mess! (Pun intended!)😱

Holy shit! Some of you guys have the absolute worst spelling and grammer for being history buffs. Wow!

I think Elizabeth gave James the thrown to make up for killing his mother, her cousin.

I know this is trivial but my eyes 👀 have played Tricks on me. I have heard of Arbella Stuart before, but when I saw her name in print, I saw Arabella Stuart. So when I saw this video, I thought, misprint. But no, not a misprint.

What is the point of giving a woman an education, when she is not allowed to use it ?. Reminds me of the popular sitcoms of "I dream of Jeanie and Bewitched", where both woman had great power and were subjugated by men. Paradoxically, society thought doing this to women was hilarious, but the reality of being so controlled to the point of being constantly reminded of being the "wrong gender" and the consequences that accompanies it, destroys the soul.

SHE MARRIED LORD WILLIAM SEYMOUR

Arabella was a Stuart not a Tudor. Also Arabella was a first cousin once removed cousin of Mary Queen of Scot, as her father Charles Stuart was Mary's first cousin. It was only marriage that made her Arabella's aunt. James VI claim was far superior as his mother Mary Queen of Scots claim was superior to both Henry Stuart Lord Darnley and Charles Stuart were from the second marriage Mary was from first marriage of Queen Margaret Tudor. Lady Arabella had a very tragic life denied her legitimate claim to the lennox earldom. But she was a Stuart of Royal blood descended from King's of both Scotland and England and should have been given a royal funeral by King James VI /I. But at least she is buried in her cousin"s once removed tomb Mary Queen of Scots amongst her Stuart relations in Westminster Abbey. One cannot but feel pity for Lady Arabella Stuart

Thank God We women don't live in those times

Mary was the grand-daughter of Margaret, she had one living son. James had the rightful claim!

this is nuts advertising a narcotic wtf?
