"Elizabeth calmly ordered for the separation of his head, from his body"
Best line ever😂😂

Fun fact both queen elizabeth 1 and 2 came to the throne at age 25.

Just a couple of minor corrections: Anne Boleyn was executed with a sword, not an axe as shown, and the British Empire at it's height wasn't just one of the biggest, it was the biggest empire of all time.

Elizabeth I is my favourite English monarch! So glad you decided to cover her!

Henry VIII was actually quite fond of Elizabeth, especially because he saw her as extremely bright. After the birth of Edward, Henry felt free to dote on Elizabeth as he believed the monarchy to be secure. He enjoyed "showing her off" in court.

Personally i firmly believe that Elizabeth I succeeded as a leader where her father, Henry VIII, had failed.

My love of history is literally connected with the same passion my dad has for it. I literally couldn’t stop watching! I get so busy with my career I sometime forget my simple passions. This was great. American/European and quite frankly world history have always filled my childhood. I’m so happy to have remembered how much I love these kinds of topics. This was great 😊

Honestly Mary story was really sad honestly they didn’t even bury her with her mother and was mistreated by her father but it still doesn’t excuse all the bad things she did

[cyrilmarasigan]

Both Elizabeth has something in common. Their service and loyalty to the country. Both of them has the body of a female but has a heart and the stomach of a king and their brave personality.

She was not just a badass, but also Heavy Metal!
Mostly lead and mercury.

Elizabeth could also speak Irish, Cornish and Scottish fluently.

Of her abilities with language an ambassador wrote that she "possessed [these] languages so thoroughly that each appeared to be her native tongue".

I never commented on Infographics before
This animation on this one stood out so much to me, probably the outfits of the era, awesome
And Queen Elizabeth was so expressive, loved it

Rest In Peace, Queen Elizabeth the Second.

Ferdinand Magellan didn't complete the first circumnavigation because he was killed by the natives in the Philippines. That honor was given instead to Juan Sebastian Elcano who completed the rest of the journey.

I chose Queen Elizabeth I as a school project and i fell in love with her independence.

If you can, I’d love for you to do a video on Catherine the Great

She’s one of my favorite Queens in history and I think she deserves the video 👌🏻

England has some of the most iconic leaders EVER.

[trishabidesi]

She had her Fathers Rule, Her Brothers Rule and her sisters rule to learn from.
While trying to survive all of them. She allowed her trials and tribulation as education and not to bitter her.
