Imagine being confined to your home with no hope of release. In Tudor times, house arrest wasn't just an inconvenience; it was a political weapon used to control and punish powerful figures. In this video, I explore some of the most famous cases of house arrest in the Tudor period, from queens and princesses to ambitious courtiers. Catherine of Aragon was banished from court and separated from her daughter, while young Princess Elizabeth (the future Elizabeth I) was held under strict watch at Woodstock Palace. The Grey sisters lost their freedom for secret marriages, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, learned the hard way that barging into the queen's chambers uninvited was not a good idea! Some prisoners of house arrest eventually regained their power, while others never escaped their confinement. But was house arrest a merciful alternative to prison—or just another way to ruin lives? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!   #TudorHistory #HouseArrest #TudorScandals #CatherineOfAragon #ElizabethI #MaryQueenOfScots #TudorQueens #TudorCourt #HistoricalDrama #HistoryLovers #TudorPolitics

Welcome back, ragers, to another fiery episode of History Rage, where we invite historians to debunk myths and set the historical record straight. I'm your regular host, Paul Bavill, and today we continue our series on the realities of the six wives of Henry VIII. Joining us is Dr. Nicola Clark, senior lecturer at Chichester University and author of "The Waiting Game." Nicky, welcome to History Rage.Anne Boleyn's Myth: Dr. Clark tackles the persistent myth that Anne Boleyn refused to sleep with Henry VIII until he married her, a narrative that refuses to die despite its lack of nuance and factual basis.· Exploring the complexities of Anne and Henry's relationship over the years.· Discussing the historical context and the pressures on both Anne and Henry.· Examining the evidence, including Henry's love letters and the birth of Princess Elizabeth.Historical Context:· The political and religious backdrop of 16th century Europe, including Henry's need for a male heir and the broader European political situation.· The role of ladies-in-waiting and how Anne's position influenced her relationship with Henry.Modern Interpretations:· How contemporary gender biases and misconceptions shape our understanding of Anne Boleyn's strategies and character.· The impact of later historical narratives and the persistent dichotomy of viewing Anne as either a feminist icon or a villain.· Dr. Clark provides a fascinating and nuanced perspective on Anne Boleyn, challenging the simplistic and often romanticised narratives that have persisted through history. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the Tudor period and the complex dynamics of Henry VIII's court.Guest Information:· Pick up Dr. Nicola Clark's book "The Waiting Game"· Follow Dr. Clark on Twitter: @NikkiClark86Don't forget to leave a review for History Rage on Apple, Podchaser, Amazon, or wherever you can!

How do you prepare a royal princess for the throne? In this episode, we look at the writings of two giants of Reformation humanism: Johannes Sturm and Roger Ascham, and in particular, their correspondence about Ascham's work training the future Queen Elizabeth I in Latin and Greek. Ascham himself variously tutored and served as Latin secretary to Lady Jane Grey, the woman who ordered her execution (Queen Mary), and the woman who replaced Queen Mary (Queen Elizabeth).

Visit betterhelp.com/DUBIOUS today to get 10% off your first month of therapy. In 1937, the 11 year old Princess Elizabeth had watched her father, King George VI crowned in the elaborate ceremony and 16 years later on 2 June 1953, her own official coronation was to take place. Now, Prince Charles will become King the moment Her Majesty passes away. And William will be watching his father's coronation. Prince Charles was the first child to witness his mother's coronation as Sovereign. Princess Anne, his sister, did not attend the ceremony as she was considered too young. He received a special hand-painted children's invitation to his mother's Coronation. 1 The Coronation of King Charles will be scaled down, less expensive and more inclusive than any other previous similar ceremony. 2 Prince Charles and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall are to be crowned side by side, together, and I like that a lot. Camilla will become Queen Consort. The last time the honor was bestowed was in 1937 when the Queen's mother sat alongside King George VI. 3 In this episode we also discuss The Royal Mews – the Gold Coach, the royal cars and the horses - , as well as the Crown Jewels and their significance. The St. Edward's Crown, made in 1661, will be placed on the head of The King during the Coronation service. It weighs 4 pounds and 12 ounces and is made of solid gold and 44 gemstones, including rubies, garnets, sapphires and tourmalines. After the crown, the orb, also made in 1661, is the most important piece of regalia. It is a globe of gold surrounded by a cross girdled by a band of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphire and pearls with a large amethyst at the summit. The Coronation ring, known as 'The Wedding Ring of England' – because the monarch's first duty is not family but country – will be placed on The King's fourth finger of his right hand in accordance with tradition. This ring was made for the Coronation of King William IV in 1831, William himself commissioned the British jeweler Rundell, Bridge & Rundell to create the symbolic sapphire ring with baguette-cut rubies in the form of a cross across the face. The rubies represent the cross of St. George (for England) and the sapphire represents the Scottish flag. 4 When Charles becomes King, he will change the royal insignia, he will put his own stamp on the reign by changing the designs of everything from mail boxes to police uniforms. Instead of the ER II insignia, during Charles' reign, the Tudor Crown design will be used.

In this episode, we examine the timeless question of “free will”: what constitutes it, what is meant by it, what ought to be meant by it, and, of course, whether we have it at all. We start with the neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky who begins to deflate the widely held intuition and assumption of “libertarian free will” by drawing out a mechanistic and determined description of the universe. We then hear from the philosopher who has long been Sam's intellectual wrestling opponent on this subject, Daniel Dennett. Dennett and Sam spar about definitional and epistemological frameworks of what Dennett insists is “free will,” and what Sam contends could never be. The author and physicist Sean Carroll then engages Sam with more attempts to find a philosophically defensible notion of free will by leaning on the unknowable nature of the universe revealed by quantum mechanics. We then listen in on Sam's engagement with the mathematician and author Judea Pearl who focuses on matters of causation to tease out a freedom of will. After a historical review of Princess Elizabeth's famous exchanges with Rene Descartes, we hear from the biologist Jerry Coyne, who firmly agrees with Sam that a deterministic picture of reality leaves absolutely no room for anything like free will. We then hear from the curiously entertaining mind of comedian and producer Ricky Gervais who was thinking about free will while taking a bath when he decided to phone Sam. We conclude with Sam's own response to concerns that an erasure of free will inevitably result in fatalism, loss of meaning, and passive defeat. Sam insists that the loss of free will actually pushes us in the opposite direction where we begin to see hatred and vengeance as incoherent and start to connect with a deeper and truer sense of genuine compassion.   About the Series Filmmaker Jay Shapiro has produced The Essential Sam Harris, a new series of audio documentaries exploring the major topics that Sam has focused on over the course of his career.

Travels Through Time

Having watched the second Elizabethan era draw to a close in recent weeks, it is fitting that in this episode we are going back to the beginning of the first Elizabethan era – the moment when Mary Tudor died leaving the throne to her younger half-sister. These two queens, the first women to rule England in their own right, were divided by their faith. The greatest challenge facing Elizabeth on her accession was to unite a country which was polarised by religion, having passed from hard-line Protestantism under Edward VI back to Catholicism with Mary. Our learned guide on this journey is Dr Lucy Wooding whose masterful new book, Tudor England, gives a rich, detailed vision of the period. Wooding's book is not simply limited to the big political moments but takes the reader right into the lives of ordinary people as well. Dr Lucy Wooding is Langford Fellow and Tutor in History at Lincoln College, Oxford. She is an expert on Reformation England, its politics, religion and culture, and the author of Henry VIII. Tudor England by Lucy Wooding is out now. Show notes Scene One: 17 November 1558, London. In the early morning, Mary I lies dying at St James's Palace. By evening, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Reginald Pole, has also died – a momentous day for Catholicism in England. Scene Two: November 1558, a few days earlier. Princess Elizabeth is at a dinner party at Brocket Hall, with the Count of Feria who has been sent by Philip II (Mary's husband) to sound out the heir to the throne. He concludes that she is, ‘'She is a very vain and clever woman', who is, ‘determined to be governed by no one'. Scene Three: Late 1557, The Works of Sir Thomas More, sometime Lord Chauncellor, wrytten by him in the Englysh tonge are published by the printer William Rastell, who was also More's nephew. Memento: The reliquary known as the ‘Tablet de Bourbon', made by one of the great Parisian goldsmiths and acquired as part of a ransom during the Hundred Years War. Worn by Mary I in the portrait by Hans Eworth.

Queen Elizabeth II is known for her love of corgis, which began when she was gifted one in 1933 when she was very much a child. Over the next 89 years, her corgis were constant companions, and the breed became something of a mascot for her reign. We say that dog lovers are a breed apart, and we are proud that Britain's longest reigning monarch was one of our most regal pack members. Today, we look back at her royal canine dynasty. What makes corgis suited for palace life ... and did the Queen save a dying breed? Even though we can't quite understand how this is possible, we concede that not all the members of the royal family had a good relationship with the monarch's dogs. So, we also examine whether the Queen's husband loved -- or merely tolerated – these short-legged cattle dogs. Another question: was the Duchess of Sussex welcomed by the Queen's favorite pups? We also examine the role corgis played in Princess Elizabeth's childhood and how she drew on their steady, loving presence for comfort throughout her epic reign.

Mark 10:33-35 “Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Queen Elizabeth has often been described as the Servant Queen who served the Servant King.  Here in Mark's gospel we hear Jesus take us to the heart of his teaching about service. He was basically turning the disciples' thinking upside down – as he so often did. James and John had come to him looking for the best seats in the new Kingdom, and they were in for a shock. Not only did Jesus tell them that he wasn't in a position to give them such seats, but he explained that they needed to be aiming for the lowest seats. They needed to learn what it was to be a slave to everyone else. And Jesus concluded by explaining that even he, the Son of Man, came not to be served but to serve and give his life to set other people free. On her 21st birthday on April 21st 1947 Princess Elizabeth said: “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” At the time her father, King George 6th, was 51 years old and she must have assumed that it would be many years before she would become queen. But it was not to be. Less than five years later the King died and Princess Elizabeth became queen. Her promise to serve held good even though I am absolutely sure that it was not the life that she expected or wanted at such an early age. But that's service, and we need to thank God for the remarkable life of faithful service that she lived. If we are honest, we all enjoy being served. We live in a society which panders to our desire to be served ever more efficiently. But Jesus calls us to follow in his footsteps and to learn that to be fully alive we need to learn the blessing of pouring out our lives for others as willing servants. Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you that Queen Elizabeth recognised you as the Servant King and as the Lord of her life. Teach us to follow her example and to serve you, willingly and joyfully, with all our hearts. Amen

Sefton Delmer sent black propaganda from near Bletchley Park into Germany, as Lord Haw-Haw did the opposite, sending radio propaganda from Germany back into Britain. Meanwhile Hilda Matheson (remember her from two episodes ago?) was sending transmissions from the JBC - the Joint Broadcasting Committee - in Woburn Abbey, also near Bletchley Park.

Queen Elizabeth II was actually Princess Elizabeth when she first visited Africa with her parents. And she was in Kenya – staying in the famous Treetops hotel – when the news of her father's death arrived and she became queen. During the 70 years that followed she visited the continent many times and shook the hands of countless African leaders. But what was it like to actually meet the queen in person? For Africa Daily @Kasujja speaks to the former president of Botswana, Ian Khama, and Prince Mangosuthu Buthelezi, the traditional prime minister of the Zulu nation, who share their memories. “He announced me as the President of Zimbabwe… she said to me ‘don't worry about that introduction, he's new and I think he just got overwhelmed by the occasion'… She knew I wasn't the President of Zimbabwe, she knew who I was. She made a nice, pleasant excuse for him”.

[00:30] A Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II (47 minutes) Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday, marking the end of an era for Britain. The Queen ascended the throne in 1952 and reigned for 70 years, setting a tremendous example of a life devoted to service and duty and providing stability to Britain in an ever-changing world. Now that the Queen's stabilizing influence is removed, Britain faces a swiftly unraveling Commonwealth and a royal family beset by scandals. As Britain adjusts to life without the Queen and an uncertain future under King Charles III, this is an excellent time to review The United States and Britain in Prophecy and The New Throne of David. [47:50] Called to Serve (8 minutes) In 1947, as a 21-year-old, then-Princess Elizabeth stated, “There is a motto which has been borne by many of my ancestors—a noble motto, ‘I serve.' … I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” As Jesus Christ explained in Matthew 20:20-28, Christian leaders are called to become servant leaders for God, following the example of Jesus Christ—the greatest servant of all.
