Lucy
Worsley’s 12 Days of Tudor Christmas from PBS Distribution with an MSRP of
$24.99. Lucy Worsley recreates how Christmas was celebrated during
the age of Henry VIII eating, drinking, singing, dancing and partying like
people did 500 years ago. Filmed at some of England's most historic
and beautiful locations, she discovers the roots of some of the
Christmas customs we still enjoy today and explores why other
festive traditions were lost.
With
the help of food historian Annie Gray, she prepares two royal feasts in the
kitchens of Hampton Court Palace. Dressed as Henry himself, Lucy samples a
stuffed boar's head; later, she tastes a giant forerunner of the
Christmas cake. Lucy joins Tudor carol-singers to hear a festive
hit written by Henry; experiences the rabble-rousing fun and chaos
created by the Lord of Misrule; and enjoys the kind of spectacular
entertainment staged at court. She also discovers how ordinary Tudors liked
to enjoy themselves and why the holidays were such a welcome break. On
each of the traditional twelve days of Christmas, Lucy reveals a different
aspect of the festivities uncovering fresh insights into the Tudor mind and
casting a captivating new light on Christmas itself.
My
Opinion: I really enjoyed watching this 55 minute DVD as I can see what it
would be like back in the day when Henry was around. I can also say what
Christmas was like and what types of foods they made in the kitchen.
