Thomas Cromwell |
Wooden carvings were burned. Precious metalwork was melted down. Shrines were reduced to rubble. This vandalism went way beyond a religious reform. It was a frenzy, obliterating the artistic patrimony of centuries of indigenous craftsmanship with an intensity of hatred for imagery and depicting the divine that has strong and resonant parallels today.
The British Library
The British Library has thousands upon thousands of Illuminated Manuscripts, which look very old, of course, if Thomas Cromwell destroyed 97% of Britain's artifacts, then most of those manuscripts are FAKE, which of course they are. However, some are real, this we know because these contain Black people, the fakes, as would be expected, are completely devoid of Black people.
Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury |
The architect of these reforms was Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, whose Book of Common Prayer has proved lasting. In February 1553, at age 15, Edward fell ill. When his sickness was discovered to be terminal, he and his Council drew up a "Devise for the Succession", attempting to prevent the country being returned to Catholicism. Edward named his cousin Lady Jane Grey as his heir and excluded his half-sisters, Mary and Elizabeth.
Mary I, House of Tudor, (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558) was queen regnant of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death. She was the only surviving child born of the ill-fated marriage of Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon. Her younger half-brother, Edward VI, succeeded Henry in 1547. By 1553, Edward was mortally ill and because of religious differences between them, he attempted to remove Mary from the line of succession.
Henry VIII at 12 years old |
As the fourth crowned monarch of the Tudor dynasty, Mary is remembered for her restoration of Roman Catholicism after the short-lived Protestant reign of her brother.
During her five year reign, she had over 280 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian Persecutions. Her Protestant opponents gave her the sobriquet of "Bloody Mary". Her re-establishment of Roman Catholicism was reversed after her death in 1558 by her successor and a younger half-sister, Elizabeth I.
Elizabeth I: Elizabeth I, House of Tudor, (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603) was queen regnant of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death. Sometimes called The Virgin Queen, Gloriana, or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty.
Mary I, House of Tudor |
His will was set aside, Lady Jane Grey was executed, and in 1558 Elizabeth succeeded the Catholic Mary I, during whose reign she had been imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.
In her book “Elizabeth the Queen”, Alison Weir describes the 25-year-old Elizabeth as: “Tall and slender, with a tiny waist, small bosom, and beautiful, long-fingered hands, which it pleased her vanity to display to advantage in a variety of affected poses. She had a swarthy complexion like that of her mother (Anne Boleyn). The Caucasian type narrators often like to use words that will cause confusion when discussing the race and appearance of non-Caucasians, so as to make them sound more Caucasian if they are important people. Such is the case with Queen Elizabeth I, who is described as swarthy: so first, let us clearly define swarthy.
Webster's: of a dark color, complexion, or cast. The etymology of swarthy: Alteration of swarthy, from swart +? -y, Old English sweart, "Black". In the book "Native Arctic tribes of the former Soviet Union" the Nenet people are described as Swarthy: Quote from the Nenets: "Due to dark pigmentation, hair and eyes are black or brown and the skin is swarthy.
Queen Elizabeth I, unknown artist 1575 AD |
For those who find the page picture above hard to read, here is what it says:
Elizabeth - She has a swarthy, "Olive" complexion like that of her mother, although she made a habit of Whitening it with a lotion made up of egg-whites, powdered eggshell, poppy seeds, borax, and alum, which made her face appear White and luminous. From her father, she had her red naturally curly hair.
As we can see from that quote, the writer Alison Weir is trying to confuse us by using the term "Olive" complexion, which hankers back to the mythical "Mediterranean" race.
Well, the fact is that Olives are Green or Black, no Humans have Green Skin, and those so-called modern "Mediterranean's" are the Mulattoes of the many Caucasian invaders of North Africa and the middle East. Below are two pictures of Mary Queen of Scots - also with that "Naturally Curly Hair". Black people call it "Kinky" hair - they ought to know. We won't even bother with why the portraits of Henry VIII show no sign of curly hair.

By crude translation, the Proclamation calls for those Blackamoors (North African Muslims - whose religion is mentioned: called "Infidels, having no understanding of Christ or his Gospel"), of ten in number, brought into the country by Sir Thomas Baskerville, be gathered up and transported to Spain in exchange for English prisoners being held there.
Somehow, by Caucasian imagination or collusion, that came to be Elizabeth trying to get rid of Blacks in Britain. Of course, that is exactly what would happen later, when the Black Stuart's claim the crown.
Background: Sir Thomas Baskerville was commander of Queen Elizabeth’s troops in Picardy and served in the Netherlands, Spain, and Indies. He was also an Admiral and fought the Spanish on the Spanish Main with Sir Francis Drake, with whom he quarreled and parted company. There is extant a letter from Elizabeth I thanking him for his services.
Ann Boleyn |
High Steward of Scotland, Earl of Lennox, Duke of Aubigny, Earl of Moray, Marquess of Bute, King of Scots, King of England, King of Ireland and Queen of Great Britain. Founder: Robert II of Scotland. The House of Stuart/Stewart)
Final sovereign: Anne of Great Britain. Current head: Extinct and Founding 1371. Cadet branches: Stewarts of Appin, Steuart of Ballechin, Stewarts of Castle Stewart, Stewarts of Galloway, Stewarts of Ardvorlich and Stewart of Darnley.
The House of Stuart (previously spelled Stewart) is a European royal house. Founded by Robert II of Scotland, the Stewarts first became monarchs of the Kingdom of Scotland during the late 14th century, and subsequently held the position of the Kings of Great Britain and Ireland.
Their patrilineal ancestors (from Brittany) had held the title High Steward of Scotland since the 12th century, after arriving by way of Norman England.
The dynasty inherited further territory by the 17th century which covered the entire British Isles, including the Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Ireland, also upholding a claim to the Kingdom of France.

The personal names Suart and Sueart (Stuart/Stewart) may have been derived from this word and may have originally denoted people of a dark-brown or black complexion.
The so-called black men of the Anglo-Saxon period probably included some of the darker Wendish people among them, immigrants or descendants of people of the same race as the ancestors of the Sorbs (Wends) of Lausatia (a region on the territory of Germany and Poland) on the borders of Saxony and Prussia at the present day (Germany). Some of the darker Wends may well have been among the Black Vikings referred to in the Irish annals.
