A proposito di questo titolo

Three Monarchs - 13 Days - One Crown In July 1553, England experienced one of the most volatile succession crises of the Tudor period. In just thirteen days, the crown passed from a dying teenage king, to a proclaimed queen who would never be crowned, and finally to Mary I, who became England’s first crowned queen regnant. This video offers a clear, step-by-step guide to the events of that summer, explaining how and why the succession unravelled so rapidly. It explores Edward VI’s decision to rewrite the succession, the proclamation of Lady Jane Grey, and Mary’s determined response, which transformed a disputed claim into an uncontested victory. Rather than focusing on myth or hindsight, this documentary examines what contemporaries believed was at stake in 1553, religion, legitimacy, and the stability of the realm, and how decisions made in the final weeks of Edward VI’s life shaped England’s future. Drawing on contemporary accounts and modern historical scholarship, including diplomatic reports and eyewitness chronicles, this video explains:

Why Edward believed Mary could not succeed him
How Jane Grey became queen, and why her regime collapsed
How Mary organised support, secured loyalty, and claimed the throne without a pitched battle

This is a beginner-friendly but in-depth exploration of a pivotal moment in Tudor history, designed to give viewers a solid understanding of the July 1553 succession crisis and its wider significance. Presented by historian and author Claire Ridgway. #TudorHistory #MaryITudor #LadyJaneGrey #EdwardVI #SuccessionCrisis #TudorEngland #BritishHistory #HistoryDocumentary #WomenInHistory #TudorQueens
