I enjoyed your video but I think you need to pay a little more attention to your script. I do understand this video is quite long but there are times where you repeat yourself - mentioning that Diane died from a horse riding accident - I believe you mentioned it 3 times. I did watch the show but didn't go into any kind of googling to see if the character you mentioned at the end was historically accurate or not so I appreciate you covering that. Good job!
Hi! Thanks for your comments! THis video was made for a request to put all the videos that I created about the series into one place so that is what I did. Hence there is some info that repeats across the various topics. My suggestion is to fast forward thru parts you don't like but keep going since there is so much included here! Oh, adn I am not sure what character at the end you are referring to but I do do the historical research for my videos and while there might be conflicting interpretations from historians, I do my best to be as accurate as possible. THanks for your encouragement. Can't wait till the next season but no date set for that yet!
@@fabulouswomeninhistory I can't think of how to spell the character's name but the actress was the girl in the movie The Girl With All The Gifts. In this show, she's the new maid to the queen. At one point she says she doesn't know how to read only for us to see her reading a book later in her room as well.
i mean is it really that big a deal? mentioning she died 3 x by a horse riding accident? 🤷🏼♀️, no it really isn't
For goodness sakes, as someone else mentioned, it's not even that big of a deal:/
Comments should put your real name, especially if insulting this educated video creator whom I say she did a great job.
I love her son-in-law's assessment of her rule. She did what anyone would have done....played the game to keep thr throne safe for her sons.
absolutely.
As a child, she had a wild ride . It didn't get much better as an adult, it would seem! Poor thing! My perception of this woman has changed because of how she is presented here. And I do understand why she did what she did in the court to bring her own family to power and try to preserve both herself and her family. She had no man to look out for her and she had to survive as best she could! Good for her!
This is a great show. Really wish they would stay with factual history
That's why I am here! Thanks for watching!
What was wrong with it. I'm not all the way through, so maybe I haven't heard it yet, but she seems to be doing pretty good so far.
That would make it a documentary or reenactment and not a docudrama. Whose main purpose is to entertain and tell a story using real people and events not teach history.
They did kind of take liberties with the facts in the show.
@@kdbee6086they always do.
Catherine is literally my favorite historical character! Still waiting on the Netflix series about her extraordinary life.
Starz has one. It’s really good (serpent queen)
@@necoleanderson6191 THANK YOU!
Why she was ruthless and killer
@@anne.enriqueEveryone at that time was ruthless and a kiiler.
@katherinehutton9870 true that!
I admire her so much. She knew producing sons was the only way to stay in power. She didn’t rely on the king. When he died she had Francis to put on the throne and his brothers after him. She had poisoning down to an art and a science. I wish we knew more about her time with Nostradamus in her service
Concerning the parties she threw, it sounds like Louie the 15th shared the same policy that Catherine did, keeping the court busy with very involved protocol and parties! Ingenious!
You know your a great actor when you play Mary Stuart and then Queen Medici
Audiences are used to watching far more static old fashioned dramatised history series. I love the way this show is able to play heavy guitar riffs, and later move the audience to a surreal sequence, the necessity to conflate various events does not detract, and without a doubt this is the only drama, and much of the time a dark comedy thanks to the chaos at the overcrowded courts. I am sorry this indomitable woman has lived under a dark shadow of ludicrous inventions. If Catherine wished for the removal of someone it is unthinkable that she would kill them using her own hands - or administer poison. What is the point of being Queen Regent if you have to ice your enemies yourself. She merely had to look vaguely annoyed or bored and comment unfavourably about whomever the victim would be. Quite contrary to her reputation Catherine had a practical view about vengeance, if you kill your enemies you create more, if they have hope, they are unlikely to plot but try to please you; and their family would support the regent. It is probable that she had Lignerolles killed, a young man turning her son Henri, later Henri III into a religious fanatic. She also ordered the execution of Gabriel the Count de Montgomery, Henri II's accidental regicide, the late King had ordered over and over again before he lost the power of speech, that they youngster must be allowed to go free and unharmed for the mortal wound was Henry's own fault as the visor remind unfixed as the tilted the last course. The notorious dislike that the French held for foreigners who held sway over the kingdom meant that without family left alive except for Margot, the Queen Dowager had nobody defend her reputation. From building beautiful Renaissance palaces, and giving memorable feasts with mock battles, or cross dressing, served by the naked breasted beauties must have cheered French Court Life, and the national bent toward formality. The noble courtiers who lived at court feared two things, boredom and a lingering death.
Hunts with Catherine leading the field and using her crossbow with great skill, it is only over the past thirty or forty years that the revisionism and putting Catherine in a place of honour in French history. Asked by a companion if she had a plan as both women saw troops ride up with a speed that implied that they came with no kind intent, this impression grew as the soldier banged upon the door of her chateau. She answered the question 'did you have a plan?' with a smile and to a few she admitted that she had lived almost every day of her life without a plan, she rarely had time to create a strategy, yet walked away chatting with her former enemy having charmed and interested her interlocutor. She felt no fear except that she would be unable to fulfill her principal duty; to ensure that the genetic imperative prevailed and Henri II' bloodline took their rightful place upon the French throne. She laughed while walking the windy ramparts of an important fortress overlooking a town that the protestants had taken. She lingered and talked to the men, and stood .behind cannon exposing herself to enemy fire, this Italian woman put heart and hope into the French troops. If anything Catherine tried in a modern manner to bring the leaders of the New Religion, and the senior Catholic Churchmen together at the Colloquy of Poissy shortly after the death of her late husband Henri II'. A woman, and not yet fully established in her later long practice and habit of holding power, showed her imaginative approach with this innovative initiative to settle the differences between Catholic and Protestant, can at the least be called worth trying, and France would not have seen the horrors of civil war tearing brother from brother. Thee regent could be an archetypal Italian Mama, she loved to play with her grandchildren, she took two things from Diane de Poitiers, the crown jewels, and the Chateau of Chenonceau, Diane had become old and her vanity that had her drinking liquified gold, poisoned her and with skin falling from her body, and her hair falling out, the gold had worked its worst, but Catherine did Diane a favour when she banished her from court. Henry IV of France and Navarre had been her sworn enemy but he grew to appreciate her greatness. When a courtier made unflattering and untrue remarks to the King about his former mother-in-law, he finished a short paean of praise, with the words '.Well what else could the poor woman do?' It is also true that the whole of France felt shocked and many sad and grieved that the queen mother and their long time Regent had died, few could remember a time without her struggling with the problems that tore France apart. An astonishing woman, wonderful, attractive because to me she is still real. I applaud her achievements.
Eloquent. Thanks.
14:17 I side with Catherine as well. As the queen, she definitely had veto power over her husband's dying wish to see his mistress. #Karma
That doesn’t change the fact Henry never loved her. Diane won at the end.
how is it karma you weirdo? the Queen barred his mistress because she was afraid he will bequeath an astronomical sum of money to her and god knows what else.
he literally spent her whole life with his mistress! it wasn't done out of spite. Louis XVI also barred his grandfather mistress du barry from entering the chamber when Louis XV was dying.. Louis XV wife was long dead
this was plot on Downton Abbey too
@@di3486 : Hahaha! How would you know.
@@djquinn11 I was there
Diane only had power while Henry was alive Catherine didn't want Diane to see Henry when he was dying because she didn't want her to gain any titles or lands money to cause trouble for Catherine to get into a more powerful position in the court Catherine wanted all the power didn't want to be forced into sharing it with anyone. Catherine didn't want Diane try to influence any of her children to betray her
It was a great series and I was so impressed with Samantha Morton’s consummate acting.
Thank you SO MUCH for giving a voice to a woman who’s hated by so many BC SHE WAS WROTE ABOUT BY MEN who hated her! I’m so proud to see young influencers taking on REAL HISTORY AND TEACHING IT!!! Keep up your brilliant work darlin you’re talented ❤
Wow, very comprehensive. Really appreciate you taking the time to make a video covering so much about the series which I just finished binge watching on demand. Thanks so much!
You're very welcome!
I really wish that shows about Catherine De' Medici would cover Petrus Gonsalvus and his wife Lady Catherine.
I learned a lot from your documentary. Well done.
Thank you.👏👏👏
It is a common misconception to call Catherine de Medici a commoner through her father BUT many tend to forger that Catherine herself was the Countess of Auvergne in her own right which she inherited after the death of her aunt Anne de la Tour de Auvergne. The County of Auvergne was the last independent French vassal state to be absorbed into the royal domains, leading the King of France to hold complete control over the entire country.
Excellent story telling friend..... thanknyou for all your hard work.... transitions and flows beautifully
OMG, this was so good!!
I def want to learn more about
Margot of Valois. What little there is online is just small tidbits and footnotes.
I wrongly assumed Louis XIV brought ballet to France and popularized it throughout Europe.
Read "Queen Margot" by Alexandre Dumas.
The supposed poisoning of her son is also from Dumas' novel, it never actually happened, and in the movie of 1994, it's not clearly stated (but hinted at).
Thanks for adding this info!
You're right-- catherine medici wasn't boring. I say be yourself even if others don't always understand you or like you: eventually others will "get" why you do what you do.
The show is really great. The only Starz show that I didnt like based on Gregorys work is The Spanish Princess. If that was given a 2nd season then The Serpent Queen certainly deserves another
Their relationship reminds me more of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire then Charles and Diana. Poor Georgina was forced to live with her husband's mistress and their children until her death. Then the Duke married The mistress, like Georgina never existed. The mistress was a part of their everyday lives. Charles at least tried to hide his mistress, whom he knew and loved years before Diana, but was not allowed to marry her because of the dumb royal laws at the time.
Charles stopped his relationship with Camilla before he started dating Diana. It was only after Diana pursued her first martial infidelity (after her sons were born) that Charles re-kindled his relationship with Camilla. There's no doubt Charles continued his infidelity from this point, but Diana drew first blood (abd added two other married men to her bed post- she never cared a whit for the other married women affected.)
Excellent Series !
Glad you think so!
The Guise Brothers were not just any noble men wanting to help run France. The had a sister Marie who married The King of Scotland and died when his daughter Mary was only 9 months old. So Marie became regent for her daughter the new Queen of Scotland, we know her today as Mart Queen of Scots. Marie was regent while at 5 years old Mary was sent out of Scotland to the French court where she eventually married Frances II. So the when K Henri died and Mary Queen of Scots also became Queen of France at the same time Frances became King of France. So the Guise brothers were protecting their niece and nephew through marriage. They weren’t nobody’s in this story.
Yes... and the Guise Brothers were the grand grand sons of the royals King Louis XII (le Père du peuple, people's father) and Queen Anne de Bretagne.
The Guise were Princes of The Blood. They weren't what they were simply due to Marie de Guise marrying King James of Scotland.. They were ALREADY Princes of The Blood!!!?
Great video!!! Thank you for all your work...
So nice of you
Great information in video along with the artwork.
When Queen Mary of Scots was beheaded, finally, by the executioner , he held her head up,before the crowd. Her almost bald head dropped to the ground, horrifying the crowd. The axeman was left holding only her wig.
Fantastic video. Thanks and subscribed 👍
Thanks for the sub!
I wish they had made a more historically accurate show about this fascinating woman. Her real life was eventful enough, no need for cheap dramatization and condescendent, wokish "life lessons".
Great Documentary! It was very detailed and easy to understand.
Many thanks!
This picture of her looks exactly like the actress!
When she was young, yes, but later, she put on some weight (not surprising after 10 or so pregnancies). The beauty standards back then were very different...
I‘m European.And my Family/Anchestors are from France.Katarina de Medici‘s Mother was a French Royal who was married with a Member from the Medici Family!🤗👸🏻♥️💋
Thanks for the added info! Thanks for joining the conversatIon!
I am enjoying this entire playlist on Catherine! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
This is a great show!
Very good job thank you
Thank you too
She brought Florentine 🇮🇹cooking to France 🇫🇷 and raised the whole profile of French cuisine🥐🥖🍲🦞
Excellent, thanks for this 🙏 she's absolutely terrifying 😮love it 🤣❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I really like this series The Raine. On the WEB it was so good the way they portrayed her!!!
Reign
Samantha Morton? She can do complex! Powerful strength. I will have to check this out.
I just remembered her Walking Dead role. Wow.
Nice to hear Larissa Thompson's voice narrating!
great channel
Thanks!
Also the reason Mary Queen of Scot had to leave Scotland was not because her son betrayed her, because he was only a few years old, it was his Protestant regency that was in charge and made the decisions.
I love this scene where she’s taken to a Protestant service and in the conversation, she says “ that’s true faith “ showing that she didn’t see them as the threat others had. It’s sad she never persevered in religious reconciliation
I think that’s revisionist history. People back then were extremely pious Catholics to the point of violence. She was related to two popes and owed her position to them. There’s no way a Catholic queen related to popes would be willing to reconcile with Protestants. She was not alone in this. Protestants were considered apostates and blasphemers. Now how much she knew about the massacre before it happened will never be known but someone of her intelligence would have known it wouldn’t take much for a small spark to blow everything up. I don’t think she was as bad as she’s been made out to be given the period which she lived but I don’t believe she was totally innocent either. Elizabeth I almost declared war against France for the massacre so she knew something we do not.
I was in children home with Samantha morton we shared a room there was lots of abuse I used take her out about and was so proud of her going Central workshop as I had my first daughter Rebecca Sam was staring as Tracy in band gold Sam Sam ❤️ I always had soft spot the abuse we suffered was horrific but you did good girl so proud of you
Catherine must have hated that stepdaughter. If nothing else, the fact she was reminded of what she was having trouble with
When is Season 2 starting, please?
Imagine Orsini is still part of the Vatican to this day. Also known as the " Grey Pope" this family has a lot of influence in the Vatican.
Thanks for joining the conversation!
Сериал оч понравился, интересная женщина была))
She is definitely ahead of her time! Imagine put your life on stake; each time you you're talking to powerful people in the era where people stab on each. Well, literally
Great job sister!
Just subbed 👍
Welcome aboard! Thanks!
At least so far they didn't have an Eskimo or Japanese actor play the dark queen. So... there's that.
Great actress to play her
I just realized while listening to this. You'll see that movie ever after? A Cinderella story with Drew Barrymore. She says her name is Diane deportiate the princess Henry. He doesn't marry the Spanish Queen, but Mary's heart instead then.
Well I'm supposed to be going after Charles in England but wow you know the Medici family and the letters and wow my goodness
Henry VIII was not protestant, in fact he loathed protestantism. His last wife Catherine Parr came very close to being his third executed wife because of her secret support and belief in protestantism. Lucky for her Henry died first. Henry just did not want to be dictated to by the pope. He broke with the Catholic church so he could run the church in England himself, but in practice and ritual it remained essentialy Catholic.
So why were his highly educated son Edward & daughter Elizabeth brought up as protestants? The Church of England disolved the Monastaries , Chantries, destroyed pilgrimages , introduced the 39 Articles and had the bible into English. Hardly Roman Catholic
Henry VII considered himself still a Catholic, just not Roman Catholic. 22:56
He might not have been in his head but he made everyone else, they need a faith there was only one in the beginning then there was two. Now there’s so many.
Henry Vlll was all about the Church of England which really only came about because of Anne Boleyn. The RC church would not grant him an annulment from Catherine of Aragon. Anne encouraged Henry to finally break with the Catholic church create his own church so they could marry. Anne pumped up his ego(along with another part of his anatomy) & essentially made him believe he was his own God & could do as he pleased. Which didn't take much given his arrogance & sense of entitlement. Henry was driven by his penis & his huge ego & Anne knew how to play him.
He had no right, however, to change the religion to Church of England. It encouraged Mary to have many good citizens killed and Cromwell to do likewise. It is painful to see previous Catholic churches destroyed.
Mother in Law to Mary of Scotland. Queen, and a leader as regent. Sure she did some unsavory things but did what she could. And she’s a Medici and married into royalty due to Giulio de Giovanni De Medici, a very good man and Pope.
Mignonnes were a reference to the "darlings". Mignon means dainty/delicate.
Wish they would bring this on Nexflex again
Gaspard deColigney is an ancestor of mine. Omg
I have enjoyed this very much!
And I am going to admit right now that I really disliked the STARS's program "Serpent Queen". I waited for months in anticipation of a good, factual and meaningful series about Catherine De Medici. Not this overly rank, bad comedy and foul language flop. And they reduced Mary, Queen of Scots into a caricature of a harpie idiot.
I thought it was awful and unworthy of the talent involved.
This is a good show, thank you for sharing this. Can you see how good a series was possible knowing all of these incredible facts? What a story. 👏
Thanks for joining the conversation!
ambergris is an important ingredient (even today) for perfumes.
"It's you and me kid"......lol
Great show... and now that I know about that Starz show... I won't be watching it. shows that insert fantasy into history should not present them selves as anything but fiction.
why not say it now instead of waiting until another video? you were already here, yes? yes
Margaret Welles from harlots I wish I pick that show back up
came here after finishing the Serpent Queen lol
welcome!
The women from the flying squadron didn't have the means for making their own income??? This was very thorough research!!! So, may I explain - work was considered a filthy word! Nobles didn't work - neither men nor women! In one of the episodes in "The Serpent Queen", they actually explain this quite vividly - any Noble can take anything generated by a working man, including his home, and more - any Noble, including the King's Mistress can kill any working man for any reason, no matter what this reason might be (which the movie didn't address quite properly, maybe they will in the next season). And if you haven't noticed from any movie regarding Kings and Queens - the Prostitutes of the Nobility were treated with a lot of respect, BUT THE WORD WORK HAS ALWAYS REMAINED A FILTHY WORD FOR THE NOBLES! (As you can certainly notice from the modern capitalism - getting the work done might require a lot of people. But ripping everyone off requires one thing only - power, i.e. weapons and armies! This is practically the Machiavellian meaning of the words "better to be feared than loved", or better to have an army of psychopaths willing to slaughter anyone on its way than to have what we know as a modern justice system.)
Does anyone know why it took the Dutch to implement Leonardo’s grand plan of sea land reclamation? I mean, Mister Isaacson’s biography seems to shallow of achievements. No pun intended.
Alright let's say 1500 this lady this lady married the king of France and became a queen
I really liked this video. Moving forward it would be good to have someone knowledgeable helping with the background images. Versailles the palace wasn't built during Marie's lifetime, Georgian women wouldn't be around for 200+ years, a Jewish graveyard for these Catholic people? Queen Elizabeth also was not in France. The type of viewers you're going to want do pay attention to these details.
This would be much better by sticking to facts. Evidently this is hard for everyone.
I just finished season 1 of this series and i LOVE it. Yes, it comes from mostly women's point of view about how they were pawns in a man's game of riches, murder and power. History loves to make any strong queen or historical woman of power out to be evil, wicked, etc. BUT they didn't do anything that the kings/ princes did not do to maintain power. For men they get called smart, strategic, ect. BUT they call the women who do the same things evil, cold, cruel. I don't believe any of the history books or documentaries that say a historical queen/woman was evil bc most times if it were a man they would be praising him.
All those Catholics and Protestants but no Christians...so sad.
6:11 Sorry but this is Jadwiga of Poland not Cathrine the Medici.
Had to have been Cedar.
Henry of Guise (Gheez) not Guys.
The de Guise brothers is pronounced de GEE-se (rhymes with wheeze, with a G sound like Good) not J.
The connection of Diane and the crescent Moon in the video is unclear. Diane used the crescent Moon symbol often because of its association with Diana of the Chase.
Diana Chase, there is at least 1 pun here.
Aqua Tefana
Se ne parla male perché è italiana...se fosse stata inglese o Francese?
And that's the truth!!!
Se i Francesi mangiano bene e con le posate quindi con la Forchetta ed hanno portato il famoso Rinascimento (quello vero) è per i tanto contestato matrimonio tra la giovane Caterina e il giovane Re Francese...
I detto la santissima verita!!!
Mention the poisoning but not how? Wow.
So did Diane actually kill someone at court for insulting the king or was Starz being creative with their writing????? Mary had a half-brother I thought. Did Mary and her half-brother share same mother or father if so? Elizabeth hated Queen Catherine for being a commoner who rose to position of royalty and Queen. That one reason Queen Catherine supported Mary claim to English throne.
She was of nobility.
Mary dat u?( I watch way too many of these movies. )
Question, why do the babies in the paintings don't really look like babies?
That was the case in the Middle Ages. Later, during and after the Renaissance, this was no longer the case. Some pictures you see in the video are much older, they were made 100 - 200 years before Catherine was alive.
Thanks for contributing info!
@@hermanubis7046 interesting.
I'm not sure, but some of the paintings in this documentary is of Elizabeth's I court.
They didn’t view babies as babies but as little humans
Well they're saying that was Beyonce and other things there
I wanted to watch more & learn more. But your lil personal remarks were too much in the You don't know realm but You're stating them anyway as if they are facts. Then the Big Rediculious statement of "like Diana" was Bizarre!!!
No child is ever born for the child's sake.😔
Idk I'm kinda witchy and have produced great life.... lol 😉
Lol, about the sperm whale facial crème, I thought ambergris was sperm whale poop? Collected from the ocean as it floats, used in perfumes and stuff…
When is season 2 coming I am so ready Catherine was a smart wonderful woman I just learned about her this year
Why is the Italian Duke of Urbino called a commoner?
Well what about holy Roman emperor Charles I fifth 1560 Queen Mary the 2nd of England 1560 ASB marry the 1st of England bloody Mary we can add a step it out
The “molestation” you speak off was not a crime in her day - you cannot apply today’s standards of criminal behaviour and age of consent to things that (may) have happened 500 years ago.
I totally agree!
I really didn't like your take on Diana life isn't a movie where someone is villain and someone a hero both the women were just equally guilty of there own wrong doing , it is hard to live in mans world for a ambitious women they did what they had to to survive .
When you said that she had to deal with his mistress, I thought of Princess Di before their pictures came onto the screen.
I would hate to be a royal, unless I could be the current Prince of Wales. His wife is still hot. I'm not into girls, but she'd be my celeb crush if I were.
World King Henry the 2nd of France the actual King is my brother NBS my father's son
Women didn't have many choices then. She had much at stake and did what she thought she had to do to survive in a pretty vicious world. I know it doesnt make her actions right, but I can see why she did what she did
