The Death of Queen Elizabeth the First

Bloody Bess.


In this video, I explore the events surrounding the death of Queen Elizabeth the First, looking at the contemporary sources for the demise of Gloriana and the circumstances of her rapid decline in the privacy of her palace at Richmond. When she died in March of 1603, it was unimaginable that anyone else could sit on the English throne, and the change that ensued was not dissimilar to the change we saw at the death of the second Elizabeth in 2022.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
