On this day, March 13, 1619, the stage lost one of its greatest stars. Richard Burbage wasn’t just an actor—he was Shakespeare’s leading man, the original Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. But his impact went far beyond the stage. From his early years in London to his legendary performances at The Globe Theatre, Burbage helped shape the golden age of English drama. He was a close friend of Shakespeare, a theatre pioneer, and a performer whose talent left an indelible mark on history. Join me as we uncover the life, legacy, and lasting influence of Richard Burbage—the man who first brought Shakespeare’s greatest characters to life.

Thomas Boleyn has long been painted as a ruthless social climber who exploited his daughters for power and wealth. But does history support this image, or have we been misled by fiction? On the anniversary of his death in 1539, let’s uncover the real Thomas Boleyn—the diplomat, scholar, and trusted courtier of two Tudor kings. His rise at court had nothing to do with his daughters; in fact, he was already a key political figure before Anne and Mary ever entered Henry VIII’s orbit. In this video, I’ll explore the facts behind the myths, including his diplomatic achievements, patronage of learning, and role in the Tudor court. Was he truly the villain history has made him out to be, or is it time to rethink his legacy? Watch now to discover the truth about Thomas Boleyn! Has history been unfair to Thomas Boleyn? #ThomasBoleyn #AnneBoleyn #TudorHistory #TheBoleyns #HenryVIII #TudorDynasty #FactVsFiction #TudorMyth…

On March 11, 1513, Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici became Pope Leo X, a ruler who would shape the Renaissance papacy with grandeur, patronage, and controversy. A lover of art and luxury, Leo transformed Rome into a cultural powerhouse, supporting artists like Raphael. But his extravagant spending led him to promote the sale of indulgences—a move that angered a certain monk named Martin Luther and helped ignite the Protestant Reformation. How did Leo X’s decisions change history? Did he see the Reformation coming, or was he too focused on wealth and power? And what was his ironic connection to Henry VIII? Join me as we unravel the fascinating legacy of Pope Leo X—one of the most influential and controversial popes in history? What do you think of Leo X?

William Paulet and how he served FOUR monarchs & kept his head In Tudor England, where one wrong move could mean the Tower, how did one man manage to serve four monarchs and die peacefully in his 90s? William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester, had a secret: adapt or die. From the reign of Henry VIII to Elizabeth I, Paulet mastered the art of political survival. He wasn’t a radical reformer or a man of unshakable principle—he was something far more valuable: flexible. He knew when to bend, when to switch allegiances, and when to make himself indispensable. Today, I'm exploring how Paulet rose from humble beginnings to become Lord Treasurer under four rulers, outlasting rivals and avoiding the deadly fate of men like Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell, and John Dudley. Was he a brilliant politician, or just lucky? Let’s find out. #TudorHistory #Tudors #WilliamPaulet #AnneBoleynFiles #HenryVIII #MaryI #ElizabethI #TudorSurvivors #TudorCourt #BritishHistory #HistoryLover…

What if Catherine of Aragon had stepped aside and entered a nunnery? Could it have saved her daughter Mary’s legitimacy? Would Anne Boleyn have had a son? And most importantly—would England have remained Catholic? In this video, we explore a fascinating Tudor ‘What If’—how history might have changed if Catherine had accepted Henry VIII’s demands. Would the Reformation still have happened? Would Henry have still married six wives? And what about the dissolution of the monasteries?

Did Elizabeth I really poison herself with lead makeup? It’s a Tudor myth! While Venetian ceruse—white lead makeup—did exist, there’s no real evidence the Queen actually used it. So where did this ghostly image of Elizabeth come from? The Victorians! But Tudor beauty wasn’t exactly safe… From toxic rouges made of mercury to fake blue veins and even urine hair dye (yes, really!), Tudor cosmetics were both fascinating and horrifying. In this video, we debunk myths about Elizabeth I’s makeup, explore real Tudor beauty trends, and ask: 500 years from now, will people look back at our beauty routines the same way? #TudorHistory #ElizabethI #HistoricalBeauty #TudorMyths #HistoryDebunked #WeirdHistory #RoyalBeauty #MakeupHistory #16thCentury #FunHistory…
Germain Gardiner and the Prebendaries' Plot In the 1540s, England was a nation in religious turmoil, and those who resisted Henry VIII’s supremacy over the church risked everything. I uncover the dramatic downfall of Germain Gardiner, John Larke, and others caught in the deadly Prebendaries' Plot—a conspiracy that sought to halt Protestant reforms and nearly brought down Thomas Cranmer. Why was John Heywood, the famous playwright, almost executed but spared? And who truly masterminded this failed coup against Henry VIII’s Church? Treason, faith, and betrayal—this is the untold story of the Prebendaries’ Plot. Watch to discover: - How a secret Catholic movement tried to remove Cranmer - Why Germain Gardiner became the scapegoat for the conspiracy - The brutal fates of John Larke, John Ireland, and Robert Singleton - How John Heywood narrowly escaped death Were these men martyrs or casualties of Tudor politics?

On 6th March 1547, Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton and former Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII, suffered a dramatic fall from power, losing the Great Seal of his Lord Chancellorship. But was this really about his overreach, or was it part of a larger power struggle? Wriothesley had been one of Henry VIII’s most trusted advisors. He played a key role in major Tudor events, including Catherine Howard’s downfall, Anne Askew’s trial, and Henry VIII’s final days. Yet, his opposition to Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, sealed his fate. Join me as I explore the life, power, and downfall of this controversial Tudor figure. #TudorHistory #HenryVIII #ThomasWriothesley #WolfHall #AnneBoleynFiles #OnThisDay #HistoryLovers #Tudors #BritishHistory #RenaissanceHistory #HouseOfTudor…
Imagine a world without the × symbol for multiplication, sin and cos in trigonometry, or even the slide rule—a tool that shaped centuries of science and engineering. Meet William Oughtred, the Tudor-era mathematician, clergyman, and inventor who changed the way we do maths forever! But Oughtred’s story isn’t just about numbers—his life was full of intellectual rivalries, academic feuds, and groundbreaking discoveries. From tutoring aristocrats to engaging in heated debates with his former students, his legacy goes far beyond symbols and equations.

On this day in Tudor history, 4th March 1590, Christopher Bales met a brutal and unjust end on the streets of London. His crime? Simply being a Catholic priest. Under Elizabeth I’s strict anti-Catholic laws, his faith was seen as treason—and his punishment was death. But who was Christopher Bales? And why was England so determined to silence men like him? In this gripping tale of faith, persecution, and execution, I uncover the tragic story of a man who refused to betray his beliefs, even under the cruel hands of the infamous priest-hunter Richard Topcliffe. Bales’ execution, alongside those who harboured him, highlights the dangerous reality for Catholics in Elizabethan England. Was he truly a threat to the state, or was he a martyr for his faith?

Margaret Tudor’s Third Marriage. On this day in Tudor history, 3rd March 1528, Margaret Tudor—sister of Henry VIII and widow of James IV of Scotland—tied the knot for the third time. But was this her chance for happiness… or just history repeating itself? Margaret had already endured one tragic loss and one disastrous marriage. She fought for freedom from her unfaithful second husband (despite Henry VIII’s objections—oh, the irony!). And when she finally won her annulment, she wasted no time in marrying Henry Stewart, a charming courtier. But had she learned from the past? Well… let’s just say this new husband had more in common with her last one than she hoped. Betrayal, political intrigue, and royal defiance—Margaret’s love life was anything but simple! Was she simply unlucky in love, or was she a woman ahead of her time, refusing to accept an unhappy fate? Let me know what you think in the comments!

The famed astrologer John Dee carefully selected the date based on celestial alignments, believing it would shape her reign. But why did astrology hold such importance in Tudor times?

The Women Who Risked It All. They defied the law. They risked everything. And they paid with their lives. On 27th February 1601, Anne Line was executed for harbouring a Catholic priest. But she wasn’t the only one to suffer in this way. Margaret Clitherow and Margaret Ward were also condemned for protecting outlawed priests in Elizabethan England. In a time when attending Catholic Mass could land you in prison, and sheltering a priest meant a death sentence, these three women stood firm. Their punishment? Torture, brutal executions, and posthumous sainthood. But what drove them to risk everything? Why was harbouring a priest seen as treason? And how did their defiance shape history? Join me as we uncover the powerful and tragic stories of three women who stood against persecution—and paid the ultimate price. Could you have done what they did for your beliefs?
