This is a silly question, but if you woke up the next morning in Tudor England, what is the one modern convenience that you would miss the most? My vote goes to a nice, hot, shower. I could deal without my cell phone and computer, but I'm too much of a neat freak to tolerate bad hygiene...

If you could create a motto for yourself (like people did in Tudor-era England), what would it be? I cannot think of one for myself, but I would love to hear what other people say about this!

Inspired by another thread, have any of you seen an old portait and crushed on the subject? It can be either from the Tudors era or another. I know some of you do so lets share ;-)
Mine are: Prince Rupert of the Rhine http://www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/images/various2/prince_rupert.jpg Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's Albert) http://www.s9.com/images/portraits/487_Albert-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.jpg They both look quite dashing and handsome here

Who is your favourite non Tudor monarch/s and consorts who ruled over England or Great Britain? The Tudors probably have the most infamous rulers but there are loads more kings and queens to chose from.
I've always had a soft spot for Henry V though that might be because of Shakespeare. I also love Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Now that i've got no Tudors for a while i'm replacing my Tudor obsession with Victorians. I can't stop watching Young Victoria, it's getting ridiculous now haha.

I have recently read a book about 16 evil men and women and I was shocked and apalled to discover that Queen Mary I was included in this list which included people like Hitler, Stalin and Emperor Nero! Considering that in 5 years Queen Mary burnt less than 300 people at the stake, compared to her infamous father King Henry VIII whose final death toll was estimated in the many thousands (though I admit it might have been exagerated). Please tell me i'm not the only one who thinks that this inclusion is cruel and unjust as is the title of 'Bloody' Yes Mary shouldn't have burnt those people just because of their faith, but if you do some research and examine the reasons behind this, then you can clearly see that Queen Mary did not deserve to be labelled as 'evil' she was simply a misguided woman who tried to keep her country together while her life was falling apart at the seams and who listened to misguided people.

Well there is a rumor going on saying that Henry is on a list of potential actors for Season 3 of the HBO series TRUE BLOOD...he is up for the part of the hottie werewolf Alcide Herveaux, a 20'sish, dark haired, tall, green eyed hottie :D
Do you think Henry could be a great werewolf for the show?

When I discovered the inscription on Mary and Elizabeth's shared tomb said, I was confused. Shouldn't it read MARY and Elizabeth and not Elizabeth and Mary??? Since she was the older sister after all. Even if James I did like Elizabeth more and was a Prodestant, it was still disgraceful to show such disrespect to King Henry VIII's legitimate daughter and also the fact that Elizabeth's statue thing (for lack of a better word) was TWICE the size of Queen Mary's and Mary's statue was below Elizabeth's despite the fact that she was England's first Queen Regent and her older sister, and also insulting to Mary's wish to be buried next to her mother. I think that it was a terrible thing to do on the part of James I and not very kingly behaviour at all. I know it seems such a silly thing to be annoyed about but considering that Queen Mary was not shown very much love by anyone except her mother, Jane Seymour and a select few others, she deserves more respect than this considering all her hardships and the lack of respect she was shown throughout the vast majority of her life.

Yet another game. :-)
The rules are simple. One player starts with a piece of good news, the next chimes in with some bad news that relates, in some way, to the good news, then the next player has to come up with good news for the bad news and so on. For example; Good News: Henry VIII is King of England (granted, this could also be seen as bad news but it works as an illustration) Bad News: All this Kingship has made Henry hungry and when he's hungry, he's cranky. Good News: Wolsey brings Henry a sandwich. Bad News: The sandwich gives Henry food poisoning. ...and so on. No limits about how wacky things can get, characters can be brought back to life, killed, brought back to life again if desired. Be creative.

It is something I am still trying to figure out the reason for it the symbolic meaning anything about it really! When Jane is dying in Episode 4 and Henry tells everyone to leave the room and as Mary goes to leave he reaches for her hand and shows a sign of true heartbreak and pain! It just puzzles me as to why or what it could have meant as it was historically said and written they did not really become truly close till he was near the end of his life when Catherine Parr brought him closer to his children just a random thought that I have had for awhile any thoughts Ladies would love to hear them!!!

So MDK and Annabelle Wallis have both been sited on set this season. This apparently is similar to Shakespeare's 'Henry VIII' play at the end with his past wives?
I'm familiar with some of the acts, but what is the Shakespeare ending being mentioned in "Extra" thread?

Ever since watching the Tudors, I find I have a huge crush on the REAL Thomas More. I just read the Autobiography of Henry VIII and the Thomas More in the book (coupled with how I picture him, Jeremy Northam) has given me a huge crush on him. It's odd, I've never been smitten with someone that's hundreds of years older than I.

When Katharine of Aragon (or Infanta Catalina of Aragon and Castile as I believe she was known then) came to England to marry Prince Arthur the people took to her almost instantly. Yet when Queen Mary I wanted to marry Charles V's son Prince Phillip everyone (despite the fact that most of them were Catholic's) in England hated him. He was Catholic so what was their problem??? After all Katharine of Aragon the Queen's own mother was Spainish and Catholic and they LOVED her so why did they object so strongly to Phillip???

This is going to come off as crazy, but for the longest time I have found Henry VII to be quite good looking? Much better looking that his son. Does anyone else find him a handsome dead guy?

Hey how come female monarchs like Queen Anne, daughter of James II get overlooked? I have never even heard of this woman until last night when I was reading Kings*Queens of England and Scotland.

Hey everyone
Inspired by the threadjack to end all threadjacks, Team Cromwell has decided to attempt to harness the madness (a little) and cash in on the creativity/insanity of its members. The very basic score is that this will be a contributory story that imagines an alternative path to Cromwell’s unfortunate end, where he escapes the tender head-chopping mercies of his crazy King and heads off to a life of unknown adventures. Where will his new life take him? Who on earth will he meet? And will he ever find something to wear that isn’t black? YOU decide…muahaha. All Team members are encouraged to contribute their own parts to the story, and non-members are free to join in if they wish. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. I suck at instructions, and this is probably as clear as mud :D I’ve written a seriously clunky introductory scene-setter, which is rubbish because I was scribbling it in-between trying to do coursework. The idea of starting this off in the Tower was donated by Reggie (and then stolen by me).

I am a direct descendant of Sir Thomas More,a fact confirmed by ancestry.com. My last name is of English origin and so are all my relatives on my dad's side of the family. It's through my great grandparents, Lee and Eva Morse Peters, that I am related to Sir Thomas. I trace
my lineage to More's son, John. As a Roman Catholic, it's an honor to be related to this great man and saint. |

I think the wives from "the tudors" are fairer than the wives from "the six wives of henry viii"; the wives from "the six wives of henry viii", are closer to the real wives, though.
