Opening The Coffin Of Queen Elizabeth I - The Last Tudor Queen

One of the most iconic yet greatest Queens ever to rule over England was the final Tudor monarch Queen Elizabeth I. She during her decades in power oversaw a huge time of change in which there was a huge boom in culture. Writers such as Shakespeare were making a name for themselves, and Elizabeth would also manage to see off a number of threats to her throne. A lot of people across England did not want the Protestant Elizabeth as their Queen, and they preferred to turn to Mary Queen of Scots, the Catholic former Queen of Scotland to rule. Because of this Mary was embroiled in a number of plots against the life of Elizabeth, and the Tudor Queen dealt with this once and for all by ordering her execution, as Mary Queen of Scots’ head was taken clean off by axe. But she also defeated the Spanish Armada, the most feared and notorious fleet and army of the time, but Elizabeth was a Queen greatly beloved by her people, and many could not imagine a world in which she did not rule over them. But as the year 1603 came, Elizabeth I was not as glorious as she once was, and she was a woman who was giving up on her life and she was coming to terms with her own demise and death. However she would be buried in a huge tomb eventually, but this was broken into and what those who did this found was shocking, strange and incredible.

The coffin was never opened after her dead. Even when she was moved from her grandfather tomb to her own tomb, neither her coffin nor her sister’s were open. And both are remained sealed as they were when they died.

Mary Queen of Scotts head was not "taken clean off"... It was partially severed with the first blow. Several blows of the ax were required to complete the task. She suffered, so the serenity of her death mask is always surprising to me.

In 1606, King James I had her remains moved to a tomb in the Lady Chapel which she shares with her half-sister, Mary I. As far as I know, her tomb has not been opened since then and it is not known what her body was dressed in.

Henry VIII got his just deserts. His faithlessness and lust got him a woman who was his heir who died childless.

I was going to say... what they bloody hell are they doing opening her coffin!

[Booka]

The coffin was NOT opened, misleading much?

A far more appropriate title would be "Opening The _Burial Vault_ Of Queen Elizabeth I...to use the word "Coffin" is a bit click baitey. It implies the victorian era explorers saw her body. Regardless, i enjoyed the video.

A Great Queen…never married…lived a long life…England sure had strange burial rituals…Elizabeth should have been given more respect…cultures sure can be strange.

Elisabeth is resting with her sister Mary Tudor not Mary Queen of Scotts 9:57. You misspoke.

[greeneyedblueneptunian]

Thank you for the nice video!!! Very informative

[robynw]

So they opened her tomb, not her coffin. Clickbait.

[janicebelfiore]

She had Mary Queen of Scots imprisoned and beheaded. Her cousin. I find that horrible

[HelluvaHazbinfan]

Could you please do a video about the reign of Queen Mary I because I find that we dont know much about her reign.

[Elsidu]

How come i hear this story about Elizabeth everytime that she defeated the Spanish Armada. But was the Spanish Armada destroyed by a storm that they could not land in Engeland?

[lesleycoothoopermal]

Elizabeth and Mary were my 1st cousins 17 x removed, Mary Queen of Scots 1st cousin 16 x removed.
