Good morning, now we are going to focus on documentaries that will fall into the Post Reformation world. Last year, this section was part of the Reformation section, however, since I found additional documentaries on the Renaissance I am going to split this section off. These suggestions are my opinion and my opinion only.
If I pick a documentary series, then pick an episode to show in the classroom. First, we will look at last year’s list, and then I will put in my recommendations for 2022. 2022 Recommendations Elizabeth I - Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Tales From Green Valley: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 Episode 6 Episode 7 Episode 8 Episode 9 Episode 10 Episode 11 Episode 12 Germans: Frederick and the Empress: YouTube 2023 Recommendations Elizabeth I - Episode 1 (49:28) Episode 2 (49:35) Episode 3 (Video Not Available) Episode 4 (49:23) David Starkey narrates the story of Elizabeth, from her growing up years, her time under the reign of Mary I, the start of her reign as well as her avoiding the issue of marriage. After her father’s death, she grew up in the household of Catherine Parr. He covers the rebellions, the religious settlement, as well as the Spanish Armada. This is an excellent documentary on Elizabeth I. *Highly recommended for a high school history class and an independent study student.* Pendle Witch Trials - YouTube (59:64) Alice Device, Jennet’s sister, confessed to being a witch. An old peddler was struck down with a stroke after refusing to sell her some pins. After this confession, dozens of people were arrested.

The narrator presents this documentary very well and his style engages the viewer. *Recommended for independent research purposes.* The Stuarts: A Bloody Reign - Episode 1 (43:26) Episode 2 (43:33) Episode 3 (43:46) Episode 4 (43:35) The Stuarts: A Bloody Reign is a series featuring the Stuarts. They took over England after the death of Queen Elizabeth I. Europe is torn apart by religious conflict and England is right at the center. The Stuart kings were James I, Charles I, Charles II, and James II. Kate Williams reassesses this dynasty in light of new evidence. She also explores a family who witnessed the rise and the fall of the Stuarts. *Skip episode 1, otherwise episodes 2-4 are highly recommended for a history class.* *Tales From Green Valley: Episode 1 (29:12) Episode 2 (29:11) Episode 3 (29:12) Episode 4 (29:12) Episode 5 (29:11) Episode 6 (29:12) Episode 7 (29:12) Episode 8 (29:11) Episode 9 (29:12) Episode 10 (29:13) Episode 11 (29:12) Episode 12 (29:12) A group of historians and archeologists work on a farm that was established during the Jacobean Period.
