It’s a fantasy and it is enjoyed as such. It is not remotely related to reality

677th

While I don't care too much about historical accuracy in historical fiction (although I do think it's a problem that so many people think all historical fiction is 100% accurate and start citing fictional sources as fact, as you mentioned) I am always fascinated to learn what was gotten right, what was gotten wrong, and of the things gotten wrong, what was likely ignorance and what was likely a deliberate choice (such as, in this case, the example you gave about Penelope's clothing fitting her better in S3).

The bottom line is we don't know who he was, what if any training he had, if he had an accomplice waiting in the area, or what he might have been wearing under his suit. If he didn't survive then why was part of the money found so far from where he jumped?

The BBC said it was because he was a black transgender muslim

It seems to me that the young king saw through what Thomas was about and didn’t think the man was worth fighting for! And for all accounts he seemed to be on the right side of things!

Morgan King, in her 2017 book, So High a Blood: The Story of Margaret Douglas, the Tudor That Time Forgot, posits that the jewel was created expressly for King James VI, her grandson, at the time when his step grandfather, Margaret's husband, Matthew Stewart, Earl of Lennox, became his Regent in 1570. I wonder, if the jewel was still in James' son Charles I's possession at the time of the Protectorate, whether it was perhaps sold off, and that's how it eventually ended up in the hands of Horace Walpole.

I just want to say, rather she was black or white, it matters little. BUT to say because she was described as pale she couldn’t be black is kind of ignorant. Black ppl come in all shades and can give off pale appearances especially in the winter. Just saying

Thank you. I enjoy Bridgerton series, but as a history major I see those glaring inaccuracies. I consider Bridgerton to be an enjoyable escape from reality, and like the campy movie “A Knight’s Tale” starring Heath Ledger, fun, irreverent, but not history. I struggled a lot with the racial diversity issue, as a history graduate. I didn’t want to be accused of being prejudiced, but ….History! you know. We can’t rewrite it. Also the claim of Queen Charlotte being biracial bothered me, as there is almost no evidence to support it but folks keep trying to claim it based on a few bad paintings and an obscure ancestor that was likely Spanish moor descent. But the reality is that such a connection is so far removed by centuries that it’s unlikely one darker ancestor 200 years earlier would influence the appearance of a descendent that much. It is sad to see people trying to force historical facts into changing for modern sensibilities. I struggled with whether or not I wanted to watch this series because it’s so badly done, from costumes to lack of chaparones, etc. In the end, I am glad they chose to be inclusive, like showing how diversity “could have” been if people were more open minded 200 years ago. It is a pretty show, after all. I’ve read the books, and as a historical romance author myself, I really am disappointed with how the producers took such liberties with the author’s creation. Kate Sheffield, an English young lady, became Kathani Sharma from India for TV show, it changes the character’s journey, their internal struggles and beliefs… basically it changes the personality completely from the author’s original source material. (The author being the creator of that character) Also the love interest for Francesca in her upcoming story is rumored to have changed gender from a Michael to Michaela, again. Totally ripping apart the author’s work to fit this show into a modern culture. i just think it’s insulting to the author to diverge so much from their work. But thank you for sharing these historical notes on the show. It is hard to ignore those glaring historical inaccuracies and character changes.

My family was exiled over this situation. Basically my family used to be royalty. But when you won’t participate in the scandal to steal the throne…

I reckon that if Anne WAS pregnant at the time of her execution, Henry would have burned her! Why? Because it would not have been his child - and a pregnancy would have played straight into the accusations of her sleeping around; and therefore a witch who could beguile men.

Bridgerton is a bridge too far for me. The gaudiness of many of the costumes completely puts me off.

The extra thin shirt was a compromise as the actor wanted to do a Sean topless

Well really the world never saw princess of Wales from 1910-1981 almost the reign of the queen just bcz of one man 😅

How is it unsustainable to wear a diamond in the country cut well over 100 years ago?

She did have the body of a 14 yr old.

In September 2000, I saw this dress at the Kensington Palace historic royal dress collection there. I was thrilled to see it but did notice differences between the actual dress and the dress in the old paintings of the wedding. I just assumed that it had been remade at some point for re-use.

Bridgerton reminds me of an alternate universe Regency Era fanfiction. That's not an insult, as I've read some good ones on Wattpad, lol!

I was quite distracted by the makeup as well. Especially Penelope’s bright red lipstick during her sisters ball and her confession. That much makeup would have been scandalous in England at that time.

My Grand Dad in Jacksonville,Alabama had a Outhouse when we rolled up from Virginia in 1975. I was maybe 5 and I telling you that fly infested hole at the bottom was stuff that still gives me nightmares.

Did you watch Queen Charlotte? They actually talk a fair bit about race and how non white people became members of the ton. There is one line in season one of Bridgerton that alludes to a time where they weren’t welcomed, but the other series explains more.

long drops as we call them in australia are still common in our more remote areas

Any chance that there was no D.B. Cooper? Could this have been done by the flight crew?

Doctor Poo and his Fartis.

Great story well told. Brings back memories of a similar recent incident. A farm worker told his boss there was a manhole cover missing in a bunch of stinging nettles at his farm. The farmer went to inspect and suddenly fell in the hole which turned out to be a cess pit full of excrement his own and water. He fell head first and banged his shoulder on the side wall during his fall which dislocated his shoulder. Suddenly he was floating in water surrounded by excrement etc 5 feet below entrance with no way out. His phone was wet so knackered, so he shouted in vain whilst feeling the cold water slowly drain the strength from his body. The farm was isolated so no one heard him. Fortunately a new housing development had recently been built a few hundered yards away. One of the residents happened to come out on this Monday morning to mow his lawn and heard faint sounds of 'HELP HELP' in the distance so walked across the field in his direction. The fire brigade and an ambulance were summoned and rescued him just in the nick of time as he was about to drown. The Guys name is Andrew Hunter and he lives in Bedfordshire UK. One very lucky guy!

Bridgerton is what Americans believe. Let them have their moment.

I'm from this lineage and a lots been hidden from me throughout my life. I carry the last name and my father was a Fredrick William Windsor. I've had to go searching for information to make sense of a lot of things in my life. Treacherous family members is the history and it carries well I pretty much disowned myself from this family after my parents passed I don't talk to any of them. Still that's just the immediate family I have known and I'm very much interested in the history heritage and where it all connects how far we go back into Egypt to tea tephi and the tribe of Judah is all quite interesting to me.

Why can't I find the actual video?

I assume Bridgerton is more fantasy, with place and styles based on historical periods. To me this means it can be messy and doesn’t need to be perfectly true to history. I mean look at how many different races are represented the way they are during g that time? It’s not meant to be accurate to the period and time. Let it go.

I give your poo house drawing an A for Erfurt.

What am I, chopped liver?

It’s really difficult to enjoy this show if you have watched anything even remotely close to accuracy like Downton abbey (which admittedly took liberties but my point is you don’t even have to be educated in history to prevent being immersed in the show)

Too many brown people. They push this to be anti-white because “white people bad”

IMY DAD SAID IT WAS A JUST A MADE UP NAME AFTER HIS DEATH TO MAKE HIM MORE THAT WHAT HE WAS, YOUR VIDEO SEEM TO CONFIRM WHAT HE TOLD ME

They had to administer to me as a child three times. It just wouldn’t take. Finally they gave me more of a dose and I remember being so so so sick and feverish. Horrible

I’ll be honest I couldn’t even get 5 minutes into the first episode of season 1 without cringing. I realize this series is meant to be glamorous and isn’t necessarily meant to be historical. I can’t get past how so many movies/ series are striving for political correctness. I’m so tired of how great television gets ruined by the need to include even if it flys in the face of historical accuracy.

While it's impossible to see into any person's heart or mind, let alone a historical figure to whom our current understandings of love and sexuality would be an anachronism, I think it's worth at least bringing up as an idea that Henry VII could've been what we now call asexual. I'm not dismissing that he and his queen would've had a strong emotional bond as evidenced by some of the historical record. But obviously intercourse for the purpose of reproduction between a monarch and their consort was a duty above a desire. We can't know whether or anyone in these circumstances was naturally drawn to partake in sex, except of course by base assumption (most human beings enjoy the act) and the fact that so many men of the period fathered illegitimate children upholds that belief. So whether he really deeply loved Elizabeth and/or took royal monogamy very seriously, we can never know. But his decision, seemingly, to never engage in an acceptable level of adultery (for a king) or seek another wife (which could offer him more political power) could also point to a disinterest in sex itself. It's akin to how basically everyone can point at Edward II as having been most likely gay (and some other kings perhaps but him the most tragically), but he still did reproduce. Action has never been the same as attraction, especially when sex as an action was a responsibility of the time, not simply a personal choice.

No it did not . Grow up

I stood by Edward's coffin in Canterbury Cathedral in 1981. I took a photo which looks just like your photo. I felt an old time presence. The most vivid memory I have is that of a very handsome man coming in to the cathedral. It was winter and very cold and snowing outside. This man, all dressed in black, noticed that he was about to step over a grave in the flooring and then gingerly stepped around it.

Disinterred, plz for rest

she was THE best queen!!!🥹

great description of her!!

They mention the yougest boys Latin tutor in season two

Anne of Cleves got lucky till the end

I think my big problem with Bridgerton in general is that it romanticizes the Regency period to make it something it is not. The Regency Period was pretty much an oppressive period to the vast majority of people. Women in particular, even upper class women experienced the law of coveture which stated that they ceased being legal persons upon marriage, which meant that their husbands could pretty much do whatever they wanted to them. I find while Jane Austen novels do romanticize the period to a certain extent, there are hints in the novels that the heroines are the lucky few, whereas Bridgerton imagines a regency period where it is the norm for most upper class women to be relatively free.

Re: the Featherington Title, do you think the show confused the issue of inheriting title with inheriting property? Because I was reminded of entailment which played a big role in Pride and Prejudice, and perhaps the Featherington estate would be entailed, so that only a legitimately born male could inherit. However I'm not sure if titles could be entailed in the same way of estates?

You can come for me but me... Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon 🔛🔝
