    I found this video very informative. I never knew Empress Maria Louisa became an Italian ruler. What a life she led. Thank you for making this video.

    They knew what had happened to Marie Antoinette 20 years ago. And they decided: let us send another princess to France. I guess Maria Louisa sometimes thought...what 😮?

      Princesses have always been pawns. History is littered with these women whose birth was more important than they were.

      Tbf, considering who Napoleon was at the time, and that he was generally loved by the French, they probably would have considered her safe there by that point.

    Interesting; I didn't know anything at all about his second wife. Her family tree is appalling, only 4 great-grandparents- her parents were lucky to have healthy children surviving to adulthood. It's horrible she had to marry someone she hated, but at least she got to marry someone she loved later on.

      I asked about the narration in an earlier comment and see your answer here. First, anything that facilitates your production and editing is great, however your voice is lovely and rude pronunciation comments are from those without a meaningful or positive life. Thank you for outstanding content that enlightens my history knowledge.

    First of all, I hope you are well. I miss your videos and I am glad to see that you are posting.
    With respect to Maria Louisa, my dad read a biography. Not sure whose. He told me that after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo and MT's relocation to Vienna, her father had guards posted at her bedroom door only to find out in the morning that the guard was in bed with her. I leave it to the historians to sort this out. Nevertheless, Napoleon made a social strategic mistake in divorcing Josephine, as you have pointed out.
    I was in Paris in October and was staying close to Les Invalides, so I ventured there to explore. I was surprised to see that Napoleon II, King of Rome, remains were transferred to Les Invalides by order of Hitler. His heart and intestines remain in the royal vault in Vienna. From my perspective, this sounds a lot like the pharaohs of Egypt.

      Maria Louisa's cousin did become queen of France eventually (or it could have been her niece) -this was in the person of queen Amelie who was the last queen of France - the wife of king Louis Philippe -the last king of France who abdicated in 1848 to make way (after a short second republic) for Napoleon III the last monarch of France. Amelie was a daughter of the king of the Two Sicilies .

    • @kaloarepo288
      @kaloarepo288 5 місяців тому

      Queen Amelie's mother was queen Carolina of the Two Sicilies who was the sister of Marie Antoinette.She met king Louis Phillipe who belonged to the junior Orleans line of the French royal family when as a prince he was in exile in Sicily during the Napoleonic period. The two became king and queen of France in 1830 when king Charles X the youngest brother of the guillotined Louis XVI was dethroned and went into exile.

    Quite odd that the French, having got rid of their monarchy, should allow Napolean the runty little dictator to declare himself their Emperor. Did they look back to the days of King Louis and Marie Antoinette with fondness?

    • @youthoughtaboutit6946
      @youthoughtaboutit6946 4 місяці тому +2

      Napoleon’s monarchy was considered what is called a “popular monarchy”, hence his title being emperor of the French, rather than emperor of France. Also, not so much a runt at that point.
