Re: Accywebbers Fav. King and/or Queen?

Elizabeth I had Mary Queen of Scots executed right? I find that most interesting as they were cousins but they had never met. Also, wasn't Mary "a prisoner" for 10 years or so before the execution?

Re: Accywebbers Fav. King and/or Queen?

I'm not a fan of royalty at all but I'm quite partial to George III. Of all the more recent royals he was the most noted for being kind to his subjects and he had the most "common touch". They say that if he had ever visited America there would never have been a revolution. I feel sorry for the man, with his mental problems, but how could you dislike a monarch who could have earnest conversations with a tree? Oops, forgot about Prince Charles - sorry, I'll have to have a rethink.

Mary was related to the Tudors. Her grandmother was Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's older sister. Margaret Tudor had married King James V of Scotland, and her son was Mary's father, James V. Henry VIII was thus her great Uncle, and she and Elizabeth were cousins.

http://www.elizabethi.org/us/queenofscots/

Elizabeth's father Henry VIII, was Mary Queen of Scot's great uncle, which makes Elizabeth and Mary second cousins...I think.

I like her because she granted a charter that founded my old school.

Boudicca is her real name, queen of the Iceni which was most of Norfolk and parts of the rest of East Anglia, her husband was murdered and daughters raped by Romans, no wonder she wanted to cause havoc eveywhere. Norfolk'n'good.

She sacked the Romans from Colchester, St Albans and the rip-off that is Larrndun.

Old Queen Victoria. She was on the throne for some of the best and worst or civilisation at the time. Industrial expansion that put Great in Great Britain but also the carry on and little wars on the Indian subcontinant. Foolish bravery as in the charge of the Light Brigade.

Best value for money has to be Richard 1 (The Lionheart or Coeur de Lion). He was a King and a Queen (allegedly).

Your in luck Granny, we never will have a Queen Camilla. Doesn't quite sound right does it?? lol.

From BBC Website........

Charles had previously announced that Camilla would be known as Princess Consort, not Queen. She will also be called Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall. Legally, she will be the Princess of Wales, but will not use the title.

I had forgotten about this post!

Thanks for all the contributions. Mancie appreciate you going back into English History for both your favs and not so favs.!

I'm curious, with such a long history, do you guys believe many English students are taught an accurate history of the Royals or a slanted view from English Historians?

Brian

Re: Accywebbers Fav. King and/or Queen?

In Global Trivia, had a question of the most gruesome Royal execution. I believe it is said that it took 15 hacks to get Mary, Queen of Scots, head off. Can that truly be? Wouldn't that have to have been purposeful?

The worst forms of execution were carried out on the general population... Royals were allowed to be killed a more dignified manner. There is the case of Edward 2nd... executed (or murdered) by having a red hot poker shoved up the jacksey!
