Fun fact: 3 of Henry VIII’s wives were closely related. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard were both grandchildren of the Duke of Norfolk and therefore 1st cousins, and Jane Seymour was their second cousin.
It might also be noted that The Royal Scots Navy fought alongside the English against the Spanish (both navies being of comparable size at the time….Scotland going on to build the Largest warship in the World, The Great Michael, which was over x2 the size of the Mary Rose) and it was the Scots who harassed the Spanish fleet up the west coast where they lost most of the fleet.
The ship in the dock is the Golden Hind, she was built by traditional methods at Hinks dockyard in Appledore, north Devon in 1973. She did circumnavigate the globe and made other voyages before being put on permanent exhibition in London.
The theatre was not burnt down in the Fire of London. No buildings on the south side of the Thames were burnt down in 1666.
Lol😮😊😄
"ruled the waves and invented the umpire"😂 umpire is the referee in cricket, umpire in place of empire,made me laugh,
She finds Shakespeare boring. If and when I go to the UK I don't want her as a guide.
Nathan Drake!!!
The gal at 10 mins is sanely good looking!
Thank you for an excellent video
You do realise she is doing for comedy purposes don't you? She isn't being serious 😂😂😂
Does becoming a historian mean you have to sacrifice a sense of humour
20:36 I've watched a lot of Cunk and have never once noticed his ears. Now I cannot unsee it
But that is how branches of religions are often born (out of power struggles). A certain leader or a group of leaders doesnt want to be under someones control and then over time the new religion developes out of that original rift. Christian church also went through the same kind of power struggle between the church in Rome and the church in Byzantium. Of course there were also some religious issues but I think a lot can be boiled down to leaders of the church not wanting to give up their power and become a subordinate of the other leader.
One of Sir Francis Drake's daughters married a Pocock, my family line. You and I are distant relatives. Perhaps a love of history runs in the family – I know sailing does.
She ruled for 9 days, that's almost a week!. Lol.
The ship is a replica of the Golden Hind and can be found close to the Anglican Cathedral at Southwark. There is another replica in Brixham in Devon.
Calvinist’s belief is no man is between man and god.
St Peter’s church Westminster Abby is it’s Nick name. Head towards the basement
Reminded me British comedians like Monty python members telling history too, what ever ways make my big kids interested in history. Better history educated, better voters
I've always liked to think of it as a kind of informed prejudice, but I was expecting something quite different from a dozy Yank. But this is marvellous. You actually, really do, know your stuff! I especially appreciate the Welsh bits being, as I am, half-Welsh. Thanks!
I will make it a priority to review, update and refine my prejudice.
Try "The Day Today" and "Brass Eye".
This is so fake – it's ridiculous!!!
I recently watched a show called "Wolf Hall' about Thomas Cromwell, Henery VIII and Anne Boleyn. I was just wondering if you've seen it and could comment on it. I found it very interesting, but I know sometime these shows play fast and loose with the actual history.
You missed a very good play on words at one point, when he was described as being at Catherine-o-holic….or Catholic for short.
21:45 So that's why you look like Nathan Drake
The ship is The Golden Hind. I'm not sure if it's a Replica or the real thing.
This dude is missing so many jokes… C'mon dude!
The ship @22:50 would be the Golden Hinde
The reference to the break with Rome equates to Brexit.
that ship is the Golden Hinde Francs Drakes ship
16:30 He doesn't ever react to her saying "shit-spere's"
Fun and informative, thanks!
Just watched this on Netflix, it was so funny.
I know this period very well, and you sir, are a scholar. Dianne Morgan is so funny.
Henry VIII had six spouses, or "spice", the first of which was Catherine of Tarragon. Then there was Anne of Cloves. Another one was Catherine Parrsley. Henry was married to all of them by the Archbishop of Cranberry. 😁
Robert Shaw was the best Henry VIII…..
I believe the quote is "I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman. But I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant."
We like chopping peoples heads off, so Charlie 3 had better keep his mouth shut!😊
I loved that second between “dried spunk in her hair” and you closing your eyes.
One slight correction – The Globe theatre wasn't destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. It burned down in an accident in 1613, was rebuilt, then finally demolished in the mid-1640s.
Despite all that, Jane Seymour still went on to have a starring role in Battlestar Galactica.
This is the first time I’ve watched Cunk, so glad you introduced her. Brilliant, funny and I’ve learnt things 😂
interesting and cool that you are descended from Drake. I recently found out that my family is in part descended from Captain James Cook's Sister. Not quite as exciting as Drake though!
