I'm watching this movie "Mary, Queen of Scots", and it's a truly incredible display of blackwashing and liberalizing European history. Just in the first few minutes there were several black people in the courts of both Elizabeth I and Mary Stuart, and in very high positions.

Both queens have black ladies-in-waiting, which is historically ridiculous. Those positions were the most prestigious for women and reserved for the most high-born and politically important women. No black family was in the position to produce a lady-in-waiting in that era.

And Mary's ambassador, Thomas Randolph, a real historical person, is depicted as a black man. Of course he wasn't. And Mary, a devout catholic, is depicted as being very liberal and urging a flaming homosexual to be "just as he is" in her court. That's unimaginable.

During that time being a catholic ruler didn't mean just observing Catholicism but ridding the realm of its enemies. That's why Mary Tudor got the somewhat unfair name Bloody Mary. It wasn't out of blood-thirst that she had protestants killed. It was expected of her to do so.

So the idea that a Catholic queen would show support to what was then thought of as a crime against the divine order and being an abomination, is absolutely absurd. It would've ruined her reputation as a good catholic to show any such liberal tendencies.
