the great history quiz the show where we

give you the viewer the chance to pitch

your wits against some of the country's

most respected historians between them

these people have got 16 university

degrees they've written 18 books and

contributed over 200 hours of television

so good luck

today's show is dedicated for that

notorious dinner theater tutors who

ruled the country from 1485 to 1603 a

turbulent period that changed the face

of British history forever

along the way we'll paste some tutor

dishes and counter some to their

artifacts and reveal some dubious

medical advice and we'll also unearth

some deadly secrets but first let's meet

our teams captaining the team on my

right we have the broadcaster and chief

curator at historic royal palaces dr.

Lucy watching Lucy would you like to do

the honors and introduce your fellow

historians thanks Kathy I've got all the

bases covered in my excellent team mr.

Knight to my right I've got Professor

Kate William and to my left

Greg Jenner who is the head nerd at

Horrible Histories

and captain of the opposing team tonight

is the historian and broadcaster Dan

snow then please do the honors right

when we find I got two doctors of

history to my right down a white lock

who specialized in high politics and

then Jonathan fall on my left who

specializes in tall buildings but this

always again let me introduce you to the

tutor timeline it begins with the fall

of Richard the third at the Battle Force

were in 1485 and it ends with the death

of Elizabeth in 1603 by the time we're

done the timeline will be furnished with

all the characters and events that made

this such a colorful period so let's

remind ourselves of the Monarchs places

on the timeline it all began with Henry

the seventh who came to the throne in

1485 Henry the eighth in 1509 then we

have his son Edward the sixth in 1547

then is daughter maybe the first in 1553

and finally Elizabeth the first in 1558

whose reign clothes the Tudor period in

1603 but now on with the quiz round one

and let's meet the cast

[Music]

[Applause]

terrorist runs we're going to enter a

gallery of movers and shakers from the

tutor Corps teams I'm going to show you

four portraits

each will be accompanied by a

biographical statement with some crucial

information missing and all you have to

do is identify who the portrait depicts

you get two points for that and fill in

the blank of that statement for another

so Lucy your team are up first please

walk into our tutor deli so Lucy feeling

is starting with the top left portrait

can you tell me then who that is

it's Thomas Cromwell Earl of Essex of

course the man who managed to get Henry

married to Anne so you're quite right of

course it is Thomas Cromwell and the

question that goes then with this

portrait is Thomas Cromwell was executed

in 1540 on the same day as Henry the

eighth's marriage to whom Katherine

Howard oh you didn't hesitate at all

another point how'd this obviously and

what fellas a little bit then a case

about what it was that happens to

Katherine Harris Thomas Cromwell fell

from favour because he tried to get

Henry married to Anne of Cleves and Anna

please was not Henry's liking instead he

preferred her lady-in-waiting the

beautiful young Catherine house but

unfortunately she was discovered as

having committed

he says adultery with his favorite

culture Thomas Culpepper and that was

the beginning of her downfall

so she was executed let's move on then

to your second portrait just move one

along on that top row and tell me who

were looking at now I think we're

looking at Thomas Cranmer who the

marvelous architect to the Reformation

and curiously he was Catherine Parrs

uncle so you realize how incestuous it

was at the court but he was this great

architecture of information and then the

uncle of an idiot's last wife

so Thomas Cranmer was Archbishop of

Canterbury he reputedly broke down in

tears on hearing of the death of whom in

1536 oh that would be and the limit

indeed it was ambolyn and why might she

have been so upset he was the family

chaplain to the Berlin family I think

and they brought him into the court so

he had was climbed on their coattails

and so her death was quite tired of him

yeah Jay yeah definitely so you don't

get a point for that I was associated

well we'll move on now to your third

portraits are we gene looking at Sir

Francis Walsingham so here's the

spymaster to me he looks like a good spy

master to me mi6 was nothing like if the

fact is almost completely in shadow

quite like serious car supportin walking

msec was a visible spy master who

repeatedly said there is nothing more

dangerous than a Catholic say that we

said there is nothing more dangerous

than security

oh let's go on then to your for sported

yeah Rosie Carlo Woolsey absolutely

looking strong not wolfies influence

over Henry b8 was supposedly so great

that the Venetian ambassador said he

might be called horse the words that

often news about him are like a spider

in a web of power familiar a God it's

erect the king him said it ourselves

well okay at the end of your bones thank

you very much

[Applause]

yeah I can feel a little bit of nerves

from dancing like as they did so well at

Dan if your new team would enter the

game

dancing them starting with the top-left

portrait can you tell me who we're

looking at what is either the early

tudor all-star champion swimmer or Henry

Fitzroy Henry Fitzroy do Co Richmond

bastard son of Henry the eighth I think

it's not one of the most flamboyant

tombs of tutoring within framlingham

Church in Suffolk you're quite right

absolutely having Henry Fitzroy so this

was as you mentioned the illegitimate

son of Henry the eighth's born in 1519

during his father's marriage to whom Oh

Kerrigan oh yeah okay let's go on to

your second portrait then and who are we

looking at you I'm I'm feeling good

about this one no I think it's a young

any handsome Philip of Spain well I

don't know what your category for

handsome is but you're certainly gonna

fill every second opening you're right

an old man he really started them all

apart you're quite right then philip ii

of spain philip married maybe the first

in 1554 then after her death who to be

proposed to ah he proposed to his former

sister-in-law Elizabeth the first

needing to maintain the alliance with

England it wasn't a love match this one

no he didn't want to make the proposal

and it was suggested that it would be a

good idea to any kind of cross your

fingers and hope she should say no and

in fact she did say no rope but England

was such a prize at the time but he was

prepared to consider it to maintain that

all-important anglo-spanish alliance

let's go on to your third portrait then

who's this star trekky the vital link

its Seymour and I think you're

absolutely spot-on with that Thomas

Seymour was executed in 1549 but who

allegedly refused to sign the death

warrant

the king was Edward six I wish his body

would have told Edward see what we've

got here I was the Lord Protector Edward

Durell

and what was it that Thomas had been

arrested for just just give me a little

bit of conscience at Kings dog well I

don't think that's what he was there I

know buddy

I think he's happy well he was

attempting to break into King Edward the

sixth apartment and you're right you

shot his spaniel in other confusions is

of course the infamous character who

apparently had romps with the young

Princess Elizabeth when she was burning

14 so he was a character of dubious

moral virtue in Lockridge yeah let's go

onto your for sin ah I like this lady a

lot she's an Elizabeth of York

absolutely which is where it all began

heroine Henry the seventh she spawned

the cheetahs they got it on and here we

are today I never get too much afraid

ignore I mean she she gave birth to the

whole dynasty really okay let me give

you a follow up question then for a

point Elizabeth died from complications

after childbirth in 1503 having spent

her confinement where bed I'm gonna need

something more than that for the point

would it be Nonsuch Palace or would it

be non ready knowledge what didn't

happen yet he it's Richmond it's

Westminster or Greenwich at the main

street an analysis which we're gonna go

for I'm good if we know can we think

recommend Agra Granite's TriNet well

you're wrong you won't get a point but

if the terrorism did you said very well

danced in 2006

thank you both of our team even after

that round of Revelations Lucy's team as

ten and dance team has 11

[Applause]

so now it's on to the artifact run Emily

the eighth ill-fated warship the Mary

Rose sank off the coast of Portsmouth in

1545 its contents and crew remained on

the seabed for over 400 years before it

was raised in 1982 on loan from the

mayor's museum under the watchful eye of

collection specialist Simon where are

several items that were salvaged from

this unique Tudor time capsule things

I'm going to ask you to identify the

artifacts original use that's going to

give you one point and then I'm going to

ask you a follow-up question for another

point so this you've seen your treasures

are there let's go and take a look at

them from the mirror

and so okay you are up first and because

they're so precious I'm going to are

Simon pleased to come in and just help

you take a closer look

oh yes would you turn it for me find

anything wrong so Kate what do you think

you're looking at well in it looks a bit

like it's some kind of chooser to sting

think of anything you could put your

sandwich in there and it looks something

like it's style in the sense of a dragon

or a snake because you've got two little

indentations here that look like little

eyes and obviously we know that the

merry row is you know 19,000 object a

lot of those routines were weaponry

because it was a warship at the same

time it was a home in the community in a

workplace so I I think maybe cross my

fingers for testing for something to do

with cooking right gang going to ask you

your team mates to come in and see if

they can help you out because it's not

assisted oh no darling is that idea it

made it help me yeah anytime II know

what it is I think it's called al in

stock I think you put the match in it

and you use that to light the cannon

summer in rightly Gregor fossil it is

probably innocent it's all beautifully

carved it's beautifully calc you can see

how all night it is there and as your so

it's like a dragon's moon cake you can

on this follow-up question you can

confer and running a navy the size of

the English fleet was as you can imagine

a very expensive business

in 1567 what means was established to

help generate additional funds there is

a Tudor lottery with a national lottery

lottery there was also a devaluation of

the coinage I'm good I'm going to pop in

and tell you that thank you

jeff has got the point there were 400

thousand tickets available and I'm told

that ticket holders were also promised

freedom from a rest from all crimes

other than murder felonies piracy or

treason but the only real crime the

immunity only lasted a week very small

and realistic now got our assignments

come round for lifted up so you can have

a closer look at it and once you've had

a good look tell us what you think

you're looking at from the Mary Rose I

think it's a little bobbin for making

lace or something like that so you would

attach you use it to weights down thread

is that correct that is a very charming

thought and it couldn't be further from

the truth

oh I know I don't looking at the little

student it's a little salty so I'm in

fact you telescope a the waters use

force is an air scope yeah so and you

spotted a little scoop on me and there's

a little just live yeah yeah yeah

the year what earwax yeah lesion yeah

yeah so if an earth good for scooping

over wax and then that wax would

delightfully be used for what particular

purpose but they could use it on on the

gun

great vision bowstrings commuted and all

for press this sort of thing a district

that heavy mediates gauge and Berlin a

Golden Ears scoop of a presence during

their courtship and the message in that

case was and I want to be in your ears

yeah so just hold the thought of this

earwax being used by the art yes yes I'm

not sure the question I want to ask you

what was outlawed in the acts of 1541

has been detrimental to the proper and

lawful prostitute of archery football

well actually football and everything

else

lb Haley anything that was much fun at

all what do you know about that

basically Apocrypha from Henry because

we know he earned the world's first pair

of football boots he loves to play

football and the reason all these things

were banned all these games and tennis

and dice and courts and everything was

because they wanted people to

concentrate on actually yeah yeah a

military service yes and you were meant

to do into your 60 between 17 and 617 to

here you were meant to be

hope you know fit enough to live to

fight in the Navy or the army if need be

if I'm going to ask you to come right

now let's just get a witness at Gregg's

artifact from the Mary Rose let's take a

closer look at this and okay can you

identify this what are we looking at

it's gotta be serene this could be the

Medical resume got to be a syringe

sailors had a fairly dodgy reputation

for when they got into port and they

found the ladies and I think quite often

they contracted illnesses and those

illnesses were downstairs illnesses and

they needed a cure and I think this is a

horrible thing to say I think this is a

urethral syringe it basically comes

mercury up a gentleman's John Thomas

sure it's all delicately so you're sure

I do

it's a you restore syringe and this

treatment with mercury if you have any

idea what phrase it gave birth to in the

language um

you spend an evening - it's the theme

Venus and a lifetime so as syphilis was

called the Italian disease in France it

was called the Polish disease in Russia

it was called the Spanish disease in the

Netherlands the Christian disease in

Turkey and the British disease in Tahiti

what was it known as in England for a

friend's rash or generally move and make

residues and the French port that the

English disease was flagellation get a

point for that one especially because I

might ask you more about that afterwards

you can have a seat so I can see if you

can come up life

[Applause]

go to your first mag you know you can

you can look but you can't touch I'm

going to ask Simon to come in again and

just lift up

Anna's artifact and let her have a

closer look any ideas out no not

immediately okay sit but wooden and my

from wood with different sections names

marking mm marking is it some kind of

primitive kind of calendar day well it

is numbers related but not to do with

calendars okay I'm going to open this up

to your whole team dan you're looking as

if you might have a clue another

avocation aid you didn't have a clue I'm

going to tell you what of it was called

Italia stick and essentially it was

really a receipt system that was used

and the notches recorded transactions so

it was used for administering rations so

there would be a stick on either side

isn't that right Simon and it would be

not yet all right yeah and if it matched

up with the rationale and we're giving

to you who would I have the follow-up

question I wonder how you're going to

get this back and in 1596 ohyou plant

persistently campaigned for the adoption

of which new foodstuff to be included in

naval rations so it's like quite late so

would it be would it be some sort of

potato thing going on or would it be

some citrusy things it could be it's

even more sophisticated it's not sugar

to that location dente toes my cooking

is mapping out South America by this

time chocolate its carbohydrate become a

high drive okay kind of chakra

yeah I think I'm going to have to tell

you it was pasta yeah this is the

earliest published reference the pasta

in English was in Platts work of 1594

and his campaign was in fact successful

in at least one case because records

show Sir Francis Drake commissioned flat

to make a large quantity of pasta for at

least one of the voyages right let's

move on then Dan to Europe artifact

something a little bit more substantial

yes I was going to list it looting and

examine it well thank you won't tell us

what you think it is than what it was

used for I would say a very light

piece of artillery and you would put

some you would Ram a charge Ramirez some

gunpowder home you'd put a projectile in

and then you put a little bit of

gunpowder on there and then you'd prick

that so that the gunpowder goes through

the big charge light it there and bang

you can shoot at the French and would

you manage to have a name you can confer

shooter artillery terrify me every

single cannon a completely different

name it's gonna be something really

obvious like a handgun you get the point

anyway it's called heel shot and it was

sort of cube-shaped short light time

that was a trial and they would think it

would be used this way it is the wooden

stop which is sort of the handle that

fits in the end they could rest this on

the side of the deck and it would fire

sort of two couple of dozen i'm faisal

arrows you get yep canada you get cannon

and gunpowder weapons people sort loads

a longbowman you've got so you got this

medieval and early modern worlds

colliding exactly

i'm going to give you a follow-up

question then because we're thinking

about artillery we're thinking about

firearms what's the connection between

firearms and james stewart the

half-brother of Mary Queen of Scots well

he can he blow himself up he was a huge

firearms enthusiast and and and and he

just assists the right James Stewart ya

got so many James Stewart's who ended

badly but thank you next to his favorite

cannon and it blew up and killed him

yeah I only wish that that were the case

not a very good story and in 1570 his

was the first recorded assassination

with a firearm

it was up and when let's go this

happened used to be quite a rough place

when there anyway yeah not any longer

you can get your foot well done

forgetting let's move on then to

Jonathan and Simon if you come forward

lift this up for Jonathan and the rest

of us and have a little compassion that

our own so me thank you again so it's a

beautifully made thing isn't it very

precise and it has a little cut at this

end which looks like a reed but at the

far end it seems that it was supposed to

be attached to something else so I'm

going to get about to read for some kind

of hornpipe isn't well I tell you what

Jonathan you can use at the hornpipe if

you want that I said I think

an enema pipe it is an enema and and and

do you know and what it might have had

attached to the end I mean that was well

supported by you and that sort of flange

what kind of a tune can you get out of

that no I'm not I wouldn't scarily want

to think it was it was my right time at

the pig's bladder that was I we had a

pig's bladder fitted at this end where

they believe the liquid and then that

would be inserted you know where and

yeah for treating constipation or

stomach problems or whatever everybody

in the audience is just fitting a little

higher in her everything is like that

actually was there like yeah I just

don't know where that's been quite

literally why do you think so I want to

ask you your follow-up question for an

extra bonus point which product

introduced into England in Tudor times

was later administered via animals one

of the topical occupies a package like a

bonus in fact ibaka could cure all kinds

of things you're absolutely right among

them do you know what they thought it

could few answer look at your and

constipation consultation and everything

I mean heavy breathing clears the

airwaves yes you go you get a point for

that tobacco enema done seems thank you

very much

because I'm under asking knives but

please bring on our bonus artifact for

both teams to have a look at it's from

Henry the eighth's

flagship and mary-rose it is the

magnificent ship's bell which is the

centerpiece of the collection would

normally only be seen in size case at

the museums were very fortunate to be

seeing it here today so as I say for an

extra point on your buzzers teams can

you tell me why this was the most

significant find for mary-rose

archeologists damn C minutes Dan buzzing

it was completion evidence that it was

in fact the Mary Rose you're absolutely

right so you get the point for that and

tell me more about that what was it

particularly about this bill

well the Bell had certain markings on it

it meant that it could only be connected

to Mary Rose so it was engraved in

Flemish and the engraving reads I was

made in the year 1510 and there was only

one other ship that was made in that

same year might you know what that took

or the henry grass as the phoenix

pomegranate it was the future of a metre

pomegranate I'm so it

surely by deduction of looking at this

Bell and knowing that the pomegranate

hadn't sunk because I think it's filled

until 1558 yes they knew that this must

be at the Mary Rose so thank you very

much indeed to Simon from the Mary Rose

Museum we do very much appreciate

[Applause]

after that loans I can reveal that

Lucy's team that has 15 points and Dan's

team has 15 points too

[Applause]

so it's on climaxed loans and that's

going to be all about medicine in this

time auditorium will be tested on Tudor

diseases and their remedies via a

peculiar branch of folk medicine known

as the doctrine of signatures the Tudors

bought into the idea that if a plant

resembled a part of the anatomy then it

could cure that body part if things went

wrong this notion dated back to the

ancient Greeks it was always as massive

science for instance when it came to

ginger due to its resemblance to the

stomach it was thought to cure digestive

complaints lucky for them it did however

shepherd's press was thought to a blood

circulation and perhaps you can maybe

even hazard a guess at what orchid bulbs

when you and this whose team you are

going to be using the doctrine of

signatures to answer questions on the

medical history of Henry the eighth and

you have in front of you some Tudor

remedies I want you to tell me which of

Henry's many health problems these could

have been used to treat according to the

doctrine and Lucy I'm going to ask you

to first of all look at the farthest

away remedy and tell me a little bit

about this where which of Henry's

ailments might have been used to treat

and bearing in mind what body part it

looks like well I think he's believable

that they are walnuts yes we're

considering Henry had malaria leg ulcers

yeah and goes smallpox gout allegedly

syphilis and they could the owners it's

a brain of hit the male rugby Barbie

falls on his horse yeah it's a bit like

a grain inside you see fell off the

patient in 1536 I was in a coma for two

hours and they were after that people

thought perhaps he'd been unconscious

throughout and because it had slightly

changed the makeup of his brain and he

did he did suffer terrible headaches

after his first jousting incident in

1524 so I think now people going to

wonder had his character changed there

are some historians who think that what

happened to Henry jaw in 1536 is the

quick way he turned against Anne Boleyn

June to the fact that he fell off his

horse and his brain had some kind of

injury yes you're absolutely right I

mean the walnut looks like a brain and

this was used to treat these headaches

that Sir Henry fan but as you say after

the jousting incident

you've got your point for that then as

you seem I want to ask you then your

follow-up question again for a point

Henry changed the laws on insanity in

1542 in order to facilitate the

execution of Chamberlain so he did so

because this was Jane Berlin who was the

waiting woman of Catherine Howard and

she was also the sister-in-law of Anne

Boleyn and there was damning evidence

that she facilitated Catherine Howard's

affairs and Catherine Howard approached

the block it with great dignity but

Chamberlain in the in the run-up to

being executed she went completely mad

she had a nervous breakdown and so Henry

had to change the law that made it

possible to execute people who were mad

for the first time ever and that's what

he did and keep that was a wonderfully

foursome answer I think it deserves a

round of applause well done now let's go

on to your second question and I see you

already do have your gloves on which it

just as well because this is it is

highly poisonous but we might ask you to

look at here unsurprisingly probably for

Tudor medicine just have a little

examination of that and again bear in

mind that it relates to the body part

that it would be used to treat the

problem of Kylie was constipated wasn't

he and Owen is constipated so these are

small King droppings are they somebody

up there and those what it is

it's called pile war oh no or Saladin

roots yes exactly

his majesty's piles it does fit is that

what piles of food what would the piles

have been don't you I mean Greg in terms

of his diet and so on well I mean he

eats an enormous amount of meat yeah and

something like five and a half thousand

calories a day which is too many

calories really no and no fiber at all

because vegetables are seen as something

for poor people and there is really no

not well he actually made a vegetables

they eat some cooked and boil much food

not and you don't need it raw because

it's thought to cause plays he's on the

Atkins diet yeah exactly it's all made

and he also calls the rides a horse a

lot in the mid in the Middle Ages bum

diseases were very common tonight really

really common problem in the Crusades

and 14th century a lot of doctors were

specialists in bottom surgery I think

we've probably worn the subject well not

this time so that would have a real

follow-up question then on the Saladin

boots also known as pile wars I mean

which position at court held by Sir

William Compton so Henry Norris answer

Anthony Denny during the reign of Henry

the eighth would have given them an

intimate knowledge of Henry's

hemorrhoids that would be the Greenwood

the stool the groom of the stool job was

to help his master use the Royal chamber

pot and it was a very privileged

position

you're quite right you've got your point

for that you want to come in great we

just also hear a very important medical

job in that he would be inspecting the

King's droppings and also his urine

because Tudor medicine is based on

Hippocratic medicine which is ancient

Greek medicine and urine the color of

your urine the consistency you of your

feces would tell people immediately if

the king was ill and then of course

they'd be of the kids sort of cool in

the doctors and say the king is looking

a little bit Spacey today

[Music]

losing soon that's going up and thank

you very much so uh dancing it is your

turn then we'll get your gloves on and

just because you don't finish the

business which go on to question me on

the medical history of Elizabeth the

first Oh

so let's take a look first of all at the

plant just wrong yeah it's called

henbane which of Elizabeth's ailments

might this cure have been used to treat

and remember you are looking to the

plants itself to supply you with a clue

and this is also poisonous I'm very glad

hmm should support I had teeth all

fallen out from sugar yeah but yes

you're quite right

it is mister key charlie loves sweet

food she was a real picker when it came

to all the plates of food that would

come in and she would turn a night off

with most of them except the sweet thing

and so she had black teeth and then

teeth that fell out and on one occasion

she was so in such pain they would felt

the need to pull out the tooth and she

was so scared and she had this elderly

Bishop had to sort of stand in her place

and show her that you know it hurt when

this tooth has pulled out he was right

on her and then she had it done and it

was the only thing she'd ever have

pulled out round of applause that's the

right answer

so your follow-up question for another

point on this is into rings and teeth

would have been removed by a barber

surgeon who wear the barber surgeons and

what qualifications did they need in

order to operate well I think the

qualification he needed was they needed

a big money knife only kid yeah they

were dentists some surgeon can barber

quite literally barber surgeon so they

would do everything and they were less

qualified than doctors were but more

qualified as such than those poverty

rates who would make up medicine well

you think my practical weren't they I

mean I could actually get a limo for

they would amputate they would come you

peace out you're quite right there was

no qualification needed so and and to

this day the reason we call surgeons mr.

or miss rather than doctor dates back to

to tutor time I think the red pole with

white bandage that we don't have today

that sidecar dry Experion to you yeah

let's move on then for your next

so-called cure you will know of course

that this is a pomegranate non-poisonous

it's also the question that goes with

this cure is which to these contracted

by Elizabeth in 1562 would pomegranate

juice have been used to treat

interesting is it because the

pomegranate traditionally had been a

symbol of fertility because the seeds

talked about you know children if you

see this with Katharine of Aragon's

terrible symbol yeah well if I get it

was but forget about smallpox early on

issue there is one in 62 October she was

ill with smallpox and so if it's a fox

but cursed is you can divide that ham

away no I I absolutely will say that

smallpox is right you've got your point

but can you put it in some sort of

historical context I mean it was a

really scary moment I mean this is just

four years into her reign and of course

she doesn't she's not married and she

doesn't have an heir and for a time it

really does look as though she's going

to die there's actually a long-standing

problem because you look back to her

father energy 8 and he spent his youth

at Eltham Palace on the outskirts of

London when sweating sickness and other

ailments came in as plagues into the

city so her sister Mary had a nursery

palace two days right away near

Chelmsford so and they kept the children

at a safe distance from these urban and

tell me in terms of Elizabeth

how could these visible smallpox scars

have damaged her image as the Virgin

Queen but and this is for a point this

question they looked a lot like syphilis

in it that's it looks like the great pox

scars they yeah and also this whole idea

with this perfect complexion the idea

that the Queen has to sort of represent

purity and this sort of as a sign of

strength and they covered herself in

makeup yes and she kept a very tight

rein on her image there is one

particularly interesting portrait that

seems to have slipped through the net I

believe we can see the image here when

the interesting thing about Elizabeth is

because of course she is unmarried

remains on marriage and doesn't have an

heir the future is really really

precarious and uncertain no one knows

who's going to succeed her and you get

to a point during her reign where really

they have to maintain the fiction that

she's young because to try and reassure

everyone that she'll never get old

because there's no one waiting in the

wings and and so she controls her image

and in fact there's a sort of carefully

controlled face pattern that's inserted

into portraits a towards the end of her

reign that so that basically her face

doesn't show that it's aging and this

one is apparently a portrait that

slipped through the net and does show a

rather aging Elizabeth found some

fascinating stuff thank you very much

so after that round Lucy's team have 18

points and dance team got 19 points

coming on now to our next round which

takes on the subject of entertainments

in the Tudor period music have an

important role in public life news was

spread chiefly via song so nothing like

today the peddlers of this news were

often unsavory characters criminals and

downright liars again nothing like today

your effects here see to their ballads

performed live here in the studio listen

carefully themes for the lyrics as I'm

going to be quizzing you on them later

now please do welcome to the stage to

perform the first valid Zico shaker and

Jill CEM

[Music]

[Applause]

we jaywalkin a ball for six weeks on who

are the women will be a husband would

give or or women meaning us we may be

grateful for my two boys and a boy baby

Qing Han week ha ha ha side

waters my ladies all idols Code Red

she wept on she went in a fine in North

moon they all find her to thighs and the

baby was found her baby will listen with

joy on heart heart was full queen days

for delay hold on

[Applause]

we cut until thank you very much indeed

teams I do hope that you were listening

closely this is a buzz around to tell me

what the subject was of that phallus

Jonathan it's a Jane Seymour's birth of

the future Edward the six yes that is

absolutely correct and performed during

that birth wars severe infection

well no but either the ballade is

actually antique henrician propaganda

because there wasn't a cesarean section

were coming for there was coming today

no but you're quite right and we will

come on to that but the answer to the

question part of what the ballad was is

absolutely correct and you danced even

Jonathan will get the point

thank you very much it was thought to be

Catholic propaganda because because

Henry had sacrificed the wife for the

air because she died so quickly after

the birth and the rumor mill suggested

that when Henry was asked if he should

save Jane or the baby the rumor monger

said he said the child by all means for

other wives could easily be fun

exactly yeah yeah Dave Mary Henry he

will kill you see exactly for all that

extra information I'm going to give you

a bonus point

let's then go to a follow-up question

and I'm going to give this to dancing

because you did get the right answer

them so you have a golden hat to follow

a question and Jane Seymour wasn't the

only wife of Henry d82 died following

complications in childbirth can you tell

me who the other was I'm not going to

give you much time I don't wait for it I

don't have to wait a second oh well I

always got trimmed oh no it must be

Catherine Parr still in their day I'll

say Henry stairs I said we would for

some clearing Henry's reign that's what

we were thinking well she went on and

married someone else after Henry and she

married her summer seems yeah I don't

see more exactly they had earlier you

have got the point now please welcome

back Pico and Jill to perform our second

balance

[Applause]

[Music]

who keeps the Golden Gate while our Holy

Father they are you that old man with

more time to meet me all the way for a

penis I don't wanna sing a couple before

you there look at what I have me to tell

you hey is everyone okay in what sighs I

think I have to use the portal Nathan oh

good by your holy discontent a miracle

for starting off the same 40 years

oh my goodness people got to wanna see a

bunch of lies mm I'm always home details

so in England have you looked awful Oh

God what's the nice I like to focus

[Music]

[Applause]

some doesn't I'm listening for that

vehicle until thank you very much indeed

settings again

fingers on buzzers force events Oh

seemed so damn I think I've made a

mistake I'll tell you what I think your

competitive spirit is getting the best

of you and you did come in too early and

it would only be fair for me to finish

all of them since you didn't let me what

events of 1570 does that valid refers to

assembly dope oh that's when that's when

all the all the subjects of Elizabeth

which holds they no longer have to be

obedient to her profession it's entirely

Elizabeth subject could do as they wish

and that really spawned a real upsurge

in tops against that particular ballad

but I'm looking for a particular name

and on either team is able to people

about communication were they 1570 yes

relating to the death or we heard his

name in the thorn on centum that well

nearly John stelson Alton well done you

got there so a clap for that

my follow-up question then and I almost

think it's only fair to make this a

buzzer question because you both sources

got it right we've got just enough of it

wrong so let me leave this open to both

of you perp 6s v renewed the bull of the

document of excommunication against

Elizabeth in 1588 fourth incident that

occurred in 1687 Ana Mary Queen of Scots

execution absolutely all right yes at a

point for that you get it so art about

line

Lucy's team have 19 points dance team of

23 points

now we're gonna go on to our an ultimate

round and this is all about food

[Music]

so from the gluttony of Henry the

eighth's

to the extravagant banquets of Elizabeth

the first food played a very important

role in Tudor life and in politics so

things it is time now to test your taste

buds as well as your knowledge the Tudor

dishes that your vote for sample have

been created by Hampton courts food

historian please welcome mark Horry

[Applause]

so nice thank you and welcome we will

come to all of your expert knowledge in

just a moment

first of all we're going to go to Lucy's

team and Mike I would ask you initially

to reveal the dish that Lucy's team are

going to try to tell us a little bit of

both there are no Pegasus and okay

should we go for the nipple so they just

said like giant wings to you yes always

more Blue Ensign Asian plated memories

with hedonic

so much information Greg it's not very

nice I like it love until violet

I think it's rose right mark I'm going

to ask for your description of what it

is that is being eaten here and actually

are our historians sort of personal item

doing the comedy boobie a very robust

sense of humor the Tudors and it's

called Spanish Pat which then links in

with the boob joke again right it's

cream sweetened with sugar flavored with

rose water and thickened with rice flour

tell me a little bit more about this

then Mike why are you saying Spanish

perhaps a crude name

why were they given that means the

purposes of the breasts although because

of the the texture crap is for baby food

goes but the name perhaps baby food goes

back hundreds of years they wanted to

have a go at the Spanish possibly having

a go at the Spanish one theory is that

it looks like a paper hat well just

having give it time asking isn't it yes

yeah I think but I think it just comedy

boobs so this you seem out of all this

apart from trying the dish I'm going to

give you a question your question is at

what the sanction was made between

merely the first and philip ii of spain

in their place settings during their

marriage feast when a woman marries a

man he's her master so they were afraid

that Britain is in the Union if they're

going to be controlled by Spain so

they're signifying at the wedding

banquet so presumably they're not next

to each other or he that she's much

higher than him that she seated much

higher and he's seated much lower you're

right in terms of the historical context

but the actual effect of also have a

cable sheath and you've never been able

to direct any other

I have an idea on delusi Burghley China

is spinning at the river I'm going to

open it to the other side

I think gold and silver plates yes

fossil exclaimed to the circles new of

the silver so it was a problem of

precedents and humors in the superior

position and yes

mary had the gold plate and Philip had

silver plate that's absolutely my carafe

we might become round and unveil the

dish that been theme is longer arms what

it's like to take a look at and indeed

sample get the short straw now dig in

here we go kind of seen at me

perfect thank you so much now that's

really kind of you I have no question I

think we're doing better with the

perhaps an English like how much evil

what are you tasting

haddock fish it's kind of like cold

kedgeree more like egg fried rice served

up a week later you're sorry how long

did it take you to make it oh yes very

nice

I'm not going to so cold I do have

questions talking to senior what is it

what is it that I think tasting Yuri in

a blue Mancha fish ah it's all right my

standards and other things when we say

blancmange you and instantly think taken

back to the pink milk jelly of school

days and LeMond she is just white food

bank Margie and it's why looks like why

was white food particularly attacked

it's considered to be easier to digest

and once you put into in terms of

flavorings and things of fighting the

fish its rice boiled until it bursts and

then mixed of almond milk

mashed fish and flavored with a little

bit of sugar and some ginger I can taste

the ginger yeah and I mean do you like

it or do you think is it it needs a

microwave kissing the dish in mind then

what food-related law this is your

question for one point what food-related

law in 1563 directly benefited the Navy

royal ah serve fish honor well not just

other Friday there were certain days

where you had to eat fish eggs like it

was a Friday plus another day yeah

because then more fishermen more trained

seaman for the fleet that could be

called up mobilized in times of war

you're absolutely like and it was

introduced on Wednesdays as well as

Fridays and Saturdays and in order to

sort of not circumvent it but honor the

law what other things were included

under the guise of fish that they were

allowed to eat well you're in the Middle

Ages they thought that barnacle geese

are a type of fish because they they

grew from barnacles and yeah and this

was included you're right by a mouse oh

yeah and also puffin leaver and be

visited quite like and whales also was

included now mike has made a special

drink the cups are almost full Jonathan

you cut window sill and you have

prepared something called force so this

is a white hippocras white hypocrite and

what's that made up from this one is a

wonderful a Rhenish wine with long

pepper grains of paradise flower of

canal ginger sugar and cinnamon and are

very delicious you're looking in

Marshall you want

yes I can always drink a drink I'm the

first woman after all I ask you actually

like to fill know this very beautiful

thing which I almost don't get I mean

it's so delicate and gorgeous I almost

don't want to touch it it looks like we

should have some cherries on it but in

fact this would have been used as a

drinking vessel so to answer

can you fill it up and I'm going to ask

down because I don't want you to mess up

the beautiful show but wherever

everybody as well as loom so this would

have been used to drink from and then do

be careful but I want you to have a good

drinking from this this tatse as you

said it was cold here we go now it does

look as though it is made from very fine

and rather ancient porcelain diem might

you tell me what it's made of because

this is tell everybody it's

extraordinary that was actually made

from sugar sugar can't be that typify so

yeah that's actually made from sugar

he's an amazing sugar player break come

on Christmas in the CIA to another

leaders been to a drink I needs it seems

like like an archeological object now

isn't it and I imagined made with mold

but terrifically difficult to make yes

oh thanks he feels happy it's the drink

calories

what does oh my god - very sorry it has

been a fascinating delightful and

intriguing thank you very much for you

all this disciple to music you know as

our final part of our pseudo feast I

want to introduce you to a very special

guest and here he is this is whisky

now whisky for a bonus question can you

tell me what this little animal would

have been used for in a Tudor kitchen

gikai on sirs classes you cannot lead

others but you can certainly on paper

amnion own whisky is supposed to be the

last surviving spits dog which is a kind

of dog that was bred a long body and

short little legs it would run about a

little wheel and it would stop you

having to turn the spit manually you're

absolutely right turn the spit when he's

on it

[Applause]

there is nothing about whiskey the

little turnspit dog that is not

interesting you already have secured

your point but can you work an anybody

at the table tell me what might have

been done of really unspeakable cruelty

I have to say to make little whiskey run

faster on his wheel but involve the

enema pipe it didn't involve high I

pretended no wheels and make him yet

they would show coals on to the wheel in

order that he would run your own carcass

and get away Falls were hot transmit

dogs apparently were used as feet

warmers in church or anything what a

life they had well thank you all for

being so very game after that round we

can reveal that Lucy's team have 20

points and dance team have 25 points

right now it's time to play our final

round so finally having spent a while

looking at how the tutors lived it seems

entirely appropriate that our last round

is about how they died

this is a quick fire round with

questions with a point

equally teams I should tell you that an

incorrect answer will result in Shing

deductr the point

thank you free so fingers on buzzers

teams and let's play the last word which

monarch said when I am dead and opened

you shall find Holly luck

Anand and Mary defer that's right you

shall find candy lying on my heart one

point to you which Elizabethan

playwright was stabbed to death in a pub

in Deptford case in Lucy scene about

Christopher Marlowe it was Christopher

Marlowe it was in a row over a bill and

who said that he believed the mercy of

Christ would pardon me all my sins yay

though they were greater than can be on

his deathbed I'll move on that was Henry

the eighth's

fourth question according to popular

tradition which Elizabethan statesman

died from pneumonia during an experiment

that's Craig and Lucy seem Francis Bacon

it was Francis Bacon what was a showman

he was stuffing a chicken with snow he

walked something a chicken breast that

was described as mildly like a lamb

easily like an ax and vanilla directa

fest that's right it was mild like a

lamb easily like a ripe apple from the

tree whose body and severed head was

placed in an old error chest immediately

after execution in 1536 Kate indecision

that will be Anne Boleyn it was Anne

Boleyn most gracious Prince I cry for

mercy mercy mercy were the final word

here is a Mike and that was Lucy Tallis

color it was Thomas Cromwell written to

Henry da was the end of that question

whose wife named Elizabeth is said to

have carried a severed head in a bag for

Greg and Lucy seemed a rolly it was

Walter Raleigh

carried his severed head in a bag for 29

years who was the chief mourner at the

funeral of Henry's widow Katherine Parr

Kate any of us though it wasn't it was

Lady Jane Grey you lose a point

for which monarch were - funeral

services held one Protestant the other

Catholic what's your answer editor six

it was Edward the six next question how

was Richard Ruth the cook of the Bishop

of Rochester executed Greg boiled alive

he would boil a life for two hours

apparently which Judas statesman lost

much

[Music]

well that signed signals at the end of

the round

and indeed the ends of the quiz I could

tell you that Lucy's team have 25 points

and dancing of 28 points

so then seen get the silver shooter

growth and I'm afraid that Lucy's team

is off to the tower for you

where else the only thing left to do

then is to pay one last visits to our

tutor at timeline here it is full of the

people in events that have made this one

of the most remarkable period in British

history

[Music]

thank you to our wonderful historians

Lucy Gregg and Kate and to them Jonathan

and Anna thank all of you for watching

in the words of that brick Elizabethan

William Shakespeare put out the light

and then put out the life good

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]
