When George R. R. Martin said that reality surpasses any work of fiction, this is what he meant.
-
christ, were margaret, henry, richard and edward the only available names back then?? makes this 10x harder to remember
-
The narrative decision to leave Margaret and Henry out of the plot until the last episode, then tie their story together with the history already told, was brilliant
-
She gave birth when she was thirteen years old. And she was tiny. Her confessor John Fisher said later that it was 'a miracle that a baby could be born of so little a personage'. He would have been called in because it was expected that Margaret would die in childbirth.
-
It's pretty easy to understand England history. The fight is always between a Richard and a Henry, nevermind the prefix after their name.
-
Margaret's husband, Lord Stanley was a piece of work. The Stanley clan usually fought on both sides of any battle so that they were always on the winning side. At Bosworth, he and his troops held back until they saw the tide turn towards Henry Tudor and then rode in on his side. He picks up Richard's bloodied crown out of the mud and proclaims his stepson King of England.

What a great series of documentaries. It makes it more clear why Henry the 8th was so desperate for a male heir. To continue a dynasty that had barely started.
-
It was a miracle Margaret lived through the birthing process at 13 years old. Even today most very young teenager's are cesarean deliveries. Smart girl though. Well beyond her years.
-
The actress who played Margaret was phenomenal !
-
A mother’s love for her child can lead her to do extraordinary things.
-
These stories, as beautiful as they are, always devastate me. To think what this young woman went through. Pregnant and widowed so young, then to hand over her baby only to be whisked off into another marriage. The absolute horror. Not that anyone back then (man or woman) had it very easy….. I can’t imagine the strength it would take to merely survive a day after being separated from my baby. And that’s from the perspective of an adult brain. But to be a child herself?! Horrific. Truly. I’m so sad for them and all they went through.

"Got you boyyy !" Did.. did I just get jump scared by an English history documentary ???
-
Both her and Isabel should be discussed more often in Women's Studies. Both of those women changed England with strategies that are used today. Margaret and Isabel knew how to get what they wanted by playing the game of politics.

-Look, the body of Richard III -What should we do? -Obviously a parking lot
-
It's amazing how mum's throughout history have protected their children.
-
Feeling a bit sad that I have to part. 4th of the 4 episodes are over. The whole story has grown on me so much. Great work. Thank you.

Are we just going to ignore the mad king was prophetic

I've watched this series as well as Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty. And now this series ended with Henry Tudor as the King of England. I hope your team will continue to tell the tales of The Tudors since I love to hear and learn more about our past histories. Love your production for both series.
