10 Ridiculous Rumors about Historic Royals

Please consider supporting me at https://www.patreon.com/LindsayHoliday

The public loves a good story about the salacious private lives of the rich and famous. And royals often really did get up to some jaw-dropping behaviors. But sometimes a grain of rumor can be so enthralling that it snowballs into an unshakable myth. If you ask the average person what they know about Catherine the Great they are likely to say “Isn’t she the one who was crushed under a horse?” Many are still convinced that Queen Elizabeth I was really a man. And Marie Antionette will forever be linked with the misquote “Let them eat cake!” Today let’s explore 10 commonly believed myths about historic royals, examine how the rumors got started and separate what is gospel from what is just gossip.
Anne Boleyn was a Witch with 6 Fingers
Mary I was Bloody Mary
Elizabeth I was actually a Man
Queen Juana was Loca
Marie Antoinette said “Let Them Eat Cake”
Catherine the Great Loved Horse, Literally
Napoleon told Josephine “I will return in three days. Don’t wash!”
Prince Albert had a Prince Albert Piercing
Prince Albert Victor was really Jack the Ripper
Elizabeth II had 4 cocktails a day

Frequently Asked Questions

What are three things that you can learn from the past?

There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. They can be applied to today's business challenges.

The past teaches us that there is always another way to do things. There is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.

History shows that the underdogs are often the ones who win. Look back at the times when an underdog won.

Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from others' successes and failures.

Use these lessons to help you improve your success rate.


What lessons can be learned from history?

We have three lessons from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. You can only change the future if it is better.

The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is to fight to get it. The other is to create. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.

Although you cannot control the reactions of people to your ideas, you can control how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. However, if you are determined to motivate someone to take action, you will succeed.

People had an idea, and they decided to take action. This is how most great movements started. You can create change or respond to it. The best way to do this is to be clear and honest about your goals, where you are coming from, and to be bold enough to take the initiative to go places no one has before.

The second lesson is that each of us has a choice. We can either wait for our lives to happen to us, or we can choose to make them happen. This means we need to choose what kind of life you want. Are we willing to wait for someone to allow us to live? Or are we ready to decide our fate?

We are living in a golden age, I would argue. This is a time of great opportunity, which creates a lot excitement. It's exciting that people feel empowered and able to create their futures.

However, it can also be a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.

Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could either sit back and expect someone to gift you a Home Depot gift certificate. Or you could ask yourself, "What would I love to do?" Then, look for a job that lets you do it. Apply for financing.

Now, suppose you were to travel the world. The question you might be asking yourself is "Where do I want go?" You'd then begin saving money, researching different countries online and speaking with friends. The final step is to book a flight.

Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In that case, you'd probably end up doing one of those things anyway. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. Although it may sound silly, it is effective.

The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. It is easy to see why. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.

You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.

If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You have to believe that you're better than you thought you were.

Start with what you already know. Start small and move on. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. What have you failed to do? What are you proud of? What have you done to overcome obstacles?

Don't forget to remember that only you can limit your potential. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.

In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "Nothing will work unless you do."


Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?

History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We make mistakes and fail to learn. We don't change. We get complacent. We settle for mediocrity.

The same old stories are what repeat history. We are conditioned to believe in immutable truths and immutable rules. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.

This keeps us from being able to think critically. To question authority. From challenging assumptions. If we don’t ask questions, we don’t grow. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.

Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.

By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. There is no set in stone. Everything is in constant flux.

The key to breaking the cycle of uncertainty is acceptance. To accept that things could go wrong. Accept that failure is possible. Accept that failure may be possible.

Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.

If you hold fast to certainty, you'll always be stuck in the past. If you insist on the existence of fixed truths, then you will never move forward.

Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.


What is the greatest thing about history?

There is no easy answer to this question. There are three things to keep in mind when learning. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, we must recognize that knowledge is cumulative. The third is to be aware of how quickly knowledge can change.

Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We would always do what we want without worrying about if it was right or wrong.

Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As we get smarter, our brains become more sophisticated. Knowledge accumulates.

Now, let's look at the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is always changing. Scientists learn new facts and theories every day. Each day new discoveries are made.

Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.

Globalization has influenced the way we look at knowledge, in addition to technology. Globalization is the process by which ideas and products spread across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.

The internet enables anyone to access information anywhere in the world. Anyone can read books, watch movies, listen to music, play video games, and surf the web. Knowledge is required for all of these activities.

While knowledge is becoming increasingly accessible, it is also becoming more specialized. There are hundreds of thousands upon thousands of websites today offering advice on topics like health, finance and business, as well as sports, travel, and cooking. These sites have information on every topic.

However, if you search online for automotive-related products and services, there are only a handful of sites. Instead of thousands of sites covering every possible topic, there will be only a handful of sites that are focused on cars.

This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts are also skilled at producing content that is relevant to their target audience.

Consumers will appreciate this specialization because they won't have to go through tons of irrelevant information. Instead, they can focus their attention on a handful of websites with lots of useful content.

Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to be sure that the author understands what he is trying to communicate.

An expert who does not specialize risks losing out to potential customers who expect him be knowledgeable.

There are many areas of expertise. Today, most of us are specialists in many different areas. One might be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, teacher, or other specialist. However, we are likely to be parents, spouses, friends and fans.

Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.

So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? It's simple: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. When you start to make progress, it's important to keep going until your skills are recognized by others.

Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. You can learn how to quickly acquire knowledge through workshops, seminars, conferences and schools.

How To

Accidental Discovery of Penicillin: Successive Inventions

How did penicillin come into existence?

Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered penicillin after noticing mold growing on bacteria cultures that he had not kept. He thought the mold might kill the bacteria, so he tried to find something that would destroy the mold.

He discovered penicillin kills mold and realized that the new drug could also fight bacteria-related infections. Penicillin was a major medical breakthrough. It saved millions of people's lives and revolutionized medicine.

At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. And neither did anyone else. No one knew that penicillin would become such a powerful antibiotic.

Penicillin was discovered to be effective in fighting bacterial infections by scientists only after World War II. The U.S. Army approached Dr. Fleming about using penicillin to treat soldiers who were infected. Dr. Fleming was willing to give it a try.

Penicillin was found to be effective against many different types of infection. It saved the lives and limbs of many wounded soldiers during World War II. It also saved many lives for doctors after the war.

Dr. Fleming didn't expect his discovery would have such profound consequences. He just wanted to ensure mold didn't grow on the bacteria cultures he used to study. He could not imagine that this simple experiment would lead him to such a miraculous medical breakthrough.

Truth is that most discoveries every day don’t appear to add up to anything significant. These are just experiments that were made for no specific reason.

You can see how even seemingly small experiments can have a profound impact on the course of history.

It is often the most important discovery that seems to have no commonality. Penicillin was discovered. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.

The invention doesn't happen because someone thinks of a brilliant idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. And then they find a solution through experimentation.
