Elizabeth's advisors had conspired to allow Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots to incriminate herself. Now, after days of agonising over the matter, Elizabeth I had signed the execution warrant. youtu.be/1XzSasSXsTE #history #scottishhistory #englishhistory #thetudors

What happened next, however, was something no-one predicted....  It ensured that the executioner, a man called Bull, was remembered throughout history. youtu.be/1XzSasSXsTE #britishhistory #historyteacher #historygeek

His body was placed in a barrel of brandy to preserve it. The barrel was then lashed to the mainmast under constant guard. historywithhenry.com/what-links-nel… #Historyteacher #Historyblog #Historyfun #Nelson #Wolsey #HenryVIII

This was the very sarcophagus that a certain Cardinal Wolsey had commissioned for his own tomb centuries beforehand. On Wolsey’s downfall, Henry VIII took possession of the sarcophagus and made it the centrepiece of his plans for his own mega tomb. historywithhenry.com/what-links-nel… #tomb

He was born in the Palace of Placentia, Greenwich. His father, of course, was Henry VII and his mother Elizabeth of York. But we are so lucky that we know the day. Why? historywithhenry.com/henry-viiis-bi… #Historyteacher #Historyblog #Historyfun #HenryVIII #Birthday

For such a significant figure in history as Henry VIII – you would think that there would have been trumpeters playing a fanfare on every street corner, triumphant firework displays, dancing naked ladies w/ “congratulations” painted on their breasts. NOPE! historywithhenry.com/henry-viiis-bi…
