Great Women of History | Compilation | Horrible Histories

she was hatshepsut Pharaoh of ancient Egypt she had power energy and riches she had everything a great Pharaoh needed except a beard sorry well a beard he is yes the Pharaoh was meant to be the god Horus in human form and Horus was a bloke so you wore a fake beard to look like a bloke oh yes quite sure here we go at Shep suit wore a false beard and dressed in men's clothes what you dressed in men's clothes don't blame me that's like just what you did at Shep suit the queen who would be king took the throne from her stepson and reigned over Egypt for 22 years until she disappeared in mysterious circumstances her monuments destroyed and her name erased from history what happened to me you were martyred probably by your stepson he was pretty annoyed about the whole throne stealing incident right that's it where are you going you can keep your clothes on the whole Pharaoh thing that's far too dangerous for me what about the beard I'm giving the beard I think it really suits me Tutankhamun was one of Egypt's most famous Pharaoh's but not quite as famous as this one [Music] I don't care I just [Music] that message to an overcrowded road within he died [Music] she told my sister Isis painted asses milk and spices then I dressed like goddess Isis blow her hair in ringlets nicest fibers to form any ties decided linen rope top right [Music] another but no [Music] [Music] was a drama I was one today I'd be a favorite of that no pictures no Joan of Arc what are you Joan of Arc yeah I am a vision of st. Michael I've been sent by God to find you who's the other one no seriously you've been chosen to lead the French army in a righteous battle against the oppressive English invaders ah there must have been a mix-up why would you say that well because a I'm just an illiterate peasant see I'm a girl and a I'm fourteen I mean sweeping up and darning socks I can do but military leadership not so much but he definitely said I mean I wrote it on my hand and everything are you sure it wasn't John of Arc the bloke next door some cool good have you been waiting on God to call on you to leave France and a glorious victory against the English is half no look it definitely says Joan for so long okay well I'm just next door if you need me stay cool yeah sorry mate so what am I supposed to do well you know convene with God predict the future lead the French army to glorious victory and restore the King to his throne bid sweeping up we've done on the villages sucks oh I'm sure think of something oh this is definitely what God wants I mean look okay so Joan of Arc was just makeup it's silly but Joan of Arc well she was real and went on to defeat the English at Orleans in 1429 sadly she was eventually captured by the English who claimed she was a witch yeah and they burned her at the stake well what do you expect this is Horrible Histories came to me God said stay friends from the English and make dope and Charles King dopamine's head to the throne but England came across their own we'd had a here's a wall let's go have to do something so I did it like a dude cut my hair gave up wearing dresses bought a pair of trousers no blouse I said I wanna fight on the tell me [Music] [Music] me leading a long shots but I was a lucky mascot inspired soldiers with bravery for injured answer but in 1430 but Guardians captured me king child wouldn't pay my ransom no one told me being prisoner was not my style try to keep hidden from my captors file but then the English who fought me fought me make me stand trial Charlie Charlie Charlie English hold it put me in a $108 if you dress like a male Joan of Arc you're charged with sorcery you're just jealous cuz God speaks to me so you speak to Saints in this discourse what language do they speak French of course but now you're in prison they have failure I say it's God's plan that your modular here's a trick question in that case do you think that you are in God's grace if I am NOT my God put me there and if I am my god so keep me Oh your smart remarks go round the houses you're guilty of heresy and wearing men's trousers and crush the English so now I'm a same time hello and welcome to horrible points-of-view we've just been going through the vaults at the BBC and have dug out this bag of letters from the Stuart era a number of them concern a recent performance of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet what's the problem guys it's one of my absolute favorite plays but when I went along to the theater I was shocked to find the part of Juliet being played by a woman I mean a woman playing the part of a woman who ever heard of such a thing it may sound strange but up until the reign of king charles ii all female roles in theatre were played by men and not everyone was happy when this changed I can't believe I've been training for over a year to play the part of Juliet and then they give it to a woman I mean a woman dressed as a woman on the stage she doesn't sit right well we took the complaints right to the very top and found out what king charles ii had to say on the matter marvelous splendid wonderful what was the question so next time you're watching Hannah Montana be thankful you're not in the Stuart era or she'd be played by a bloke good night well here is 1542 and a child is about to be born who's the wait for it wait for it yes now she is Mary Stuart daughter to James the fifth of Scotland a confident King who'd ruled the Scott since he was just one year old and will go on ruling them until he was old and gray aged just 30 leaving six day old Mary as the new queen of Scotland a role that would almost certainly have eaten into naptime so various regions were brought into Rome Scotland on Mary's behalf until she was old enough to rule alone or at the very least hold her own cutlery but she soon grows up the pastas cutlery and in a slightly unusual move for a Scottish model moves to France yes seeing how nice Frances she marries Frances Prince Frances who then becomes Frances King Frances with whom she has a long and happy life filled my mistake he's dead to heal by an ear infection which I think we can assume got quite bad so Mary is ousted from France returns to Scotland to decides to marry her cousin this time a certain Lord Darnley who despite being about this popular with the Scottish Nobles as a clinic enjoys a long and happy marriage no scratch that it seems that rumors start circulating of romance between the married queen and her private secretary David Rizzio luckily though marry completely denies these rumours which means the prizeo can go on to live a long and happy life didn't think so yes despite bravely hiding behind the now pregnant Queen Rizzio is dragged away by a log of Lord on these friends stabbed 56 times and throws down some stairs leaving him very likely dead but with Rizzio out of the picture the way is clear for Mary and Lord Darnley to enjoy that long and happy marriage which I mentioned the funeral she guessed family's dead two killed in a very weird explosion at his house these sort of weird explosion that also strangles you and thumps your body in the garden which if we look at the suspicious death for mister yes highly suspicious and of a good reason but it turns out that Donny was probably murdered by a Scottish noble called the Earl of Bothwell I imagine the now widowed Mary hates more than anyone else on my mistake she's married him did not see that coming but marrying her dead husband's murderer does not cut down to well the Scottish people who forced Mary to hand her crown to our baby son James Assaf and run away to England luckily Mary's cousin Elizabeth the first welcome to England oh I can't get a break today now it seems that Elizabeth rosemary in jail because she's worried that Barry might try and murder her and steal the English crown which is something that would never happen in a million years come on now I mean yes there is a plot to place Mary and Elizabeth run but that's hatched by an Italian banker called Ridolfi or the Duke of Norfolk so he's nothing to do with Mary herself who would never do anything as awful as hatch a plot to kill her own colony where'd you please okay yes fine I mean I suppose Mary does have a hand in the next plot to kill Elizabeth the Babington plot because it's very zone letters about it that leads to the plan being discovered but I'm sure Queen Elizabeth will react to the calm and make was a joke honestly Elizabeth reacts to the discovery of the plot by signing Mary's death warrant and despite the last-minute wobble over whether or not to go through with it Elizabeth finally has Mary Queen of Scots executed well 8th of February 1587 at which point the executioner discovers she wears a wig when he tries to pika [Music] famous Scott Bonnie Prince Charlie thought he should be king of Britain so he led a rebellion against george ii but his army was heavily defeated at the Battle of Culloden and Charlie needed help to escape opinion on the young pretender Bonnie Prince Charlie a reason he failed in his attempt to overthrow king george ii do you think he's absolutely awful then you turn them in in a heartbeat be basically alright but you wouldn't want to meet him or see a good Scottish father you definitely help if he came to your door doing a silly voice see the very same you do know he did the Hebrides I'm on the run King George the second wants me dead some reason he didn't like me going to a war against oh I can't imagine wait no no given I am the last legitimate heir to the House of Stuart and so the rightful heir to the throne of Britain if you see sue now I can arrange safe passage to France from the other side but I can I get to Skylar y'all so what do you say what do you help add some rent maybe what's his name yeah I made me oh wait of course no the king has put a 30,000 pound price on my head so or the challenge is gonna be getting me to sky without being spotted don't you worry I have everything we need Paul great thanks I see it's been a nightmare all is running and
