In this episode Lucy Worsley explores the complicated history of the Russian Revolution. She dresses up as Tsarina Alexandra.
Worsley kicks off this episode with the start of World War I and the Russians were suffering. The October Revolution is more complicated than what you originally thought. The Revolution was fueled by the growing anger towards the Romanovs because of the bloody suppression he took part in. Alexandra was mistrusted by the Court, as well as the complicated relationships between the royal families of Europe. She also covers Rasputin and the gossip that surrounded him, and how the Tsar and Tsarina's relationship with him made the Russian people distrust the family. One of the historians discussed the rumors that surrounded him and Alexandra and concluded there was no affair between them. Also factoring into the Russian Revolution was how the War turned against the Russians and the key to the Russian Revolution were the Women.

In this series, Lucy Worsley explores the Myths and Fibs of King George IV and the Regency. This is the second series of the Royal Myths Series and the second episode. I only found four episodes of Royal Myths on YouTube.
She discusses the madness of King George III, the Prince Regent's complicated relationship with his wife Caroline and Napoleon, the Battle of Waterloo, Peterloo massacre, and how the British monarchy survived the revolutions surrounding them. The story kicks off with a lie: the Prince of Wales secret marriage to a Catholic woman. This marriage could effectively disinherit him from the throne due to the Act of Settlement. Then she goes into King George III and how his madness overshadowed everything about his reign. Worsley discusses how the French Revolution had an impact on how the British handled things at home and how they suppressed the dark side of what they did to stop a revolution from happening at home. Lucy Worsley's discussion on King George III was fascinating, I found it interesting that while the Prince of Wales was satirized, the King wasn't and that he was a figure of sympathy. Combine this with Prince Charles' commentary on George III, you can gain a nuanced version of the king. You can use this episode of the series in the classroom when there is a sub in the room.

A few years ago, I discovered Historian Lucy Worsley and loved how she narrated history on top of getting into character for a few of her series! The first series I found from her was Heroines, Housewives and Harlots and the History of the Home on YouTube. Unfortunately you can't get Heroines, Housewives, and Harlots on YouTube any more.
Recently, PBS discovered this gem of a historian and started airing her documentaries. The first documentary PBS aired was the Six Wives of Henry VIII. Recently, PBS aired Royal Myths and Secrets and so I came up with questions for that series. If any teacher needs a video for a sub in history class, either in the theme of the day or something fun, I would highly recommend looking into Lucy Worsley! The first episode of the series is about Elizabeth I and focuses on the myths that came out of the Spanish Armada. The episode kicks off with Elizabeth's imprisonment and how Queen Mary treated her and how Philip freed her because he didn't want the French to expand their influence. Then when Elizabeth becomes queen, he tries to persuade her to marry him or at least dump the Protestant faith. Then Worsley moves onto the factors that lead to the Spanish Armada and reveals that not everything is at it seems. You can use this series as lecture supplement for a history class.

Professor Joann Fletcher explores the history of Eqypt's queens focusing on Hetepheres, Hatshepsut, Nefertari, and Arsinoe. This is a fascinating look at the women who took part in government life in Ancient Eqypt.
She first explores the story of Osris and Isis and their stories. Fletcher explores Hetepheres first, as she was the mother of the Pharaoh. Her tomb reveals that she's was the beloved mother of the Pharaoh and that she was a royal woman who was taken care of really well. Hatshepsut was one of the first female pharaohs who ruled ancient Egypt, she brought Egypt glory through exploration, trade and monument building. She defended her people in battle and protected her kingdom. Her pharaohship was virtually erased by her stepson. Nefertari was the wife of Ramses II, part of a "royal double act," in Fletcher's words. She was a royal diplomat abroad and the perfect wife at home. She supported her husband in his duties and was beloved by the pharaoh. Her tomb was one of the most beautiful in all of ancient Egypt and her husband is not found in it. Arsinoe came from the Ptlomey's. She was sent off to Greece to be married, but fled when the marriage turned sour. She married her brother and became Pharaoh on her father's death. She introduced coinage to Egypt and turned Egypt's fortunes around. She respected the women who came before her and took the crowns of Hetepheres, Nefertari, Hatshepsut, and Alexander the Great. Cleopatra took her inspiration from this lady. This is an excellent episode to show while there is a sub in the classroom at the start of the year when the students are studying Ancient Egypt. Fletcher is very knowledgeable on her subjects and is an enthusiastic presenter. That said, if you don't have time to show the whole documentary, then show the part of Hatshepsut, it will give the students the gist of who she was about. For use in the classroom just copy and paste into a word document or GoogleDoc or Google Classroom Document. Format the way you want it to format. All questions should fit onto one page with enough space for the student to write down their answers. You can find the link for the YouTube Video here. Egypt's Lost Queens Questions:
