She really seemed to be nice to everyone. Wearing a bracelet of her mother-in-law's father, trying to help her husband get along with his father and even his mistress despite knowing how her husband felt about it. Sounds like a really nice person.
Thank you so much for watching again ! I really appreciate it !
The life of the French aristocracy during the time of Maria Josepha must have been the height of the 18th century good life
Thank you for watching and commenting
What an interesting life she had! And to be in love with her husband though the marriage was made for political reasons! I did not know anything about her. This was very informative!
Glad you liked the movie.
This lady seems to have had a good deal of common sense. One must work with the circumstances you are given!
Thank you so much for watching Barbara !
First
Sorry I'll change mine to second
Thank you so much hun !
Not first
🥳
The Dauphine also sincerely mourned and wept for her husband's daughter, it appeared she would have been a wonderful stepmother to the princess had she lived. When her husband got smallpox, she nursed him tirelessly. They really grew to love each other, which is wonderful. Like her future daughter-in-law Marie-Antoinette, Josepha would suffer from the pressure of producing an heir and blames whenever she miscarried. The birth of her first child, Marie Zephyrine, was a dissapointment for courtiers and the king.
Like her husband, while devoted to her children, she too favoured Louis-Joseph and neglected the future Louis XVI who would deeply feel it and suffer because of it. For example: when he was a child, their was a lottery for the royal children and to teach them the greater joy that's giving rather than receiving, they were told to offer their prizes to the people they liked best at court or to the people they thought liked them best. Louis kept his prizes and when someone noticed it, he remarked: "Why should I give them away? No one likes me here."
Indeed, I do mention the neglect by his parents in my video on Louis XVI... Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@TheKingsofFrance I still have to watch it :)
" Louis kept his prizes and when someone noticed it, he remarked: "Why should I give them away? No one likes me here." That line is so freaking sad.
Poor woman. She gave birth 13 times, had a few stillbirths and had to watch some of her children die in infancy, plus she died of tuberculosis at only 35 years old. Such a short life. Makes you think of all the diseases that existed then and had no remedy, it's so sad.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it !
I an interested in the fate of her daughers.
She was a loving wife and stepmother. She never married again, mourned her husband till death. Really sweet daughter-in-law. She would have been a kind and generous queen. May she rest in peace.
Thank you so much. May I ask you a question (pardon my ignorance), which name is your first name ? I'd like to address you by it but am not sure. I hope this question does not offend !
@@TheKingsofFrance first name is Ambreen. I am honoured you want to refer to me by first name.
It would have been very difficult for her to marry again. Because she was the widow of the dauphin she was expected not to. So I'm afraid it does not say much.
I love the tradition of a bracelet with their father's portrait! And what a magnificent move from Maria Josepha- at 15!!! In an earlier vid I thought Marie Antoinette sounded like a typical 14yrold, but Maria Josepha was like many other teenagers in the past who make me think the way we see teenagers as literal children today is insane. She did an amazing job as Dauphine & as a member of the royal family, & it's always nice to hear of people falling in love in an arranged marriage.
...And I have ancestors from Saxony who were landscape gardeners & plant breeders for the royal court! (They bred the 1st cool-climate rhododendrons, so they could grow in Europe.) "Elector" doesn't sound quite right for the guy whose court they served at, but I might be wrong, & I think it was in the late 1700s.
How interesting about your ancestors… must be lovely to know so much about them !
@@TheKingsofFrance It is! My fave is a Chartist rebel convict- they presented a charter to parliament asking for votes for all men, not just landowners. Predictably, it was rejected, & only then did they riot. My ancestor burnt down a rich guy's barn with no-one inside, which is a crime I respect.
Thank God in many places arranged marriages have been prohibited... it is awful to marry somebody you don't know anything about but a protrait (which could be highly deceptive)
They didn't even care if the spouses got on well... Blessed those who did, but I would say most of them did not or had to accept each other reluctantly.
Could you make a video in the future touching this topic? Arranged marriages in the French monarchy. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Ummm, they were ALL arranged marriages in the name of political alliances, money, and which countries hated which other countries at that particular point in time. I understand that the creator of these videos has a very sweet voice that encourages nostalgia and sentimentality, but these were generally quite vicious people who cared little for anything but their own wealth and welfare. Many commentators think they are making a cute point by idolizing them and wishing for a return of a monarchy, but pretty portraits, flowing gowns, and heraldic titles do not make a functioning world that requires justice and equality. The only thing they make are awful movies and faery tales.
@@AAwildeone There are some very rare examples of love matches among the royalty of the time, one instance being the marriage between the Archduchess Marie Christine (an older sister of Marie Antoinette) and Prince Albert Casimir of Saxony (a brother of the Dauphine Maria Josepha). And sometimes spouses in arranged marriages ended up in love with each other, as discussed here with the Dauphin Louis and his two successive wives.
Thank you very much for the story about such a remarkable woman as Maria Josepha. Sorry that she never became a queen.
Thank you for watching and commenting !
Thank you for this interesting video. I learned that the Dauphine was not only a loyal spouse, but she was also a very tactful, clever one. I admire her ability to smooth tensions between her husband and the king. A very handy attribute in the scheming and conniving court. She must have really loved her husband if she mourned his loss until her own death. Thank goodness their arranged marriage was an unusually happy one. Thank you so much for your upload, fabulous as always! 😃
Thank you your Highness. Glad to see you !
Well said! I like your pic of my ancestor and name. Seems like you like him!
Hello louis
@@lilyofthevalley5586 yeah I agree
No offense to anyone of your royal paramours but none of them can compare to Pompadour (except maybe Madame De Mentnon)
I love and enjoy your videos we never learn about the details of French history my Grandmother was French, she could speak English and French of course. But she died when my Dad was 9yrs old. So I did not get to know her. It was so sad she was only 28yrs old . What I knew of her was from my other Grandmother they were friends she was a great lady trained as a concert pianist.
I'm sure your grandmothers were absolutely lovely. Thank you for watching !
Hey,do you mostly focus on the bourbon dynasty??,if not,you can talk about the valois kings too
For now it's mostly Bourbon dynasty, but in the new year, I slowly start going back in history. Am currently working on a script for Margaret of Valois, Henri De Guise, Marie De Guise, Henri III and Louise De Lorraine. I'm definitely not going to neglect the Valois Dynasty and am planning on working my way back to the very first King of France. But it takes a lot of time to do the research, write the script and make the videos so I hope you'll stick with me until then !
@@TheKingsofFrance 👍
@@TheKingsofFrance Awesome, I look forward to it! :) One of the best movies I've ever seen was a French one (Queen Margot) about Marguerite de Valois, & I'm more into that era, & _much_ more familiar with it, but it's been brilliant to learn about the later royals, & fit it into the pitifully tiny amount I know about them! :)
Princess Maria Josepha would’ve been a good successor to Her Majesty Queen Maria Leszczyńska.
I wish she’d paid more attention to Louis Auguste, however.
Another superb video. Alison
Thank you so much for being here again Alison !
Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Your videos are always enjoyable and relaxing have a great day greetings from Canada 😀
Greetings from Belgium to Canada 😄
Fantastique! Merci 🌸!
Merci Christine !! 🌺
There very probably would not have been any Revolution if Louis and Marie-Josèphe had lived long enough... :/
(PS. He never was called Louis-Ferdinand, it's a common mistake that appeared in the recent years, but he's name always was only Louis, like all his baptism, wedding and death official documents prove it.)
Thank you for watching, and pointing out that information. I will look into this !
@@TheKingsofFrance With pleasure. Thank you for your always interesting videos!
When will you do the video on Elisabeth Farnese, Phillip V's second wife.
it’ll be in the new year before I get around to it, but I promise I’ll make it !
Lmfao my mom is Marie de Carmen
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Brilliant video
Thank you for watching!
Are you French? A descendant of The Capets?
I love her ✨
Thank you for watching and commenting !
Superb!
Thank you for watching Ludovic !
@@TheKingsofFrance Thank you for posting!

Thank you. I very much enjoy these videos.
Thank YOU for watching and commenting Deb !
Thank you for this wonderful video. Such a fascinating woman! I always learn something new!
As always, thank you Lily !
@@TheKingsofFrance Thank you! 🌞
This is the first video from this channel that bored me. A torrent of names and dates without any serious analysis.
Thank you for your criticism. I’ll try to keep it in mind for my next videos.
Ignore them. Great video as always. Plus all the names would make perfect sense if you had watched previous videos.
Serious analysis? Not a single one of these videos has to do with anything like serious analysis. They are cute little biographies, where afterward people can wallow in nostalgia and sentimentality. Ohhh this queen had such a rough life, or, IF only this future king didn't die early, things would have been soooo different. These people - ALL OF THEM - were generally cruel and wouldn't have cared about running over you with their carraige if it meant being late to the theater. It's hilarious how you all fetishize a way of life and an institution you should be thankful for being long gone.
@@AAwildeone I love learning about history, and I learn a lot from this channel. Learning from history helps us understand the present. Furthermore, cruelty and the abuse of power have not disappeared from liberal democracies. The main difference between the power elite at Versailles and the power elite in Washington is that the French aristocracy had better taste. My desire for knowledge of history and my appreciation of beauty are not a fetish. I suggest you reread Freud. I also would encourage you to study the history of architecture and literature and music before you dismiss the desire to learn about Versailles as "wallowing in nostalgia and sentimentality."
@@AAwildeone Wow- rude! You came to a vid about royalty, which you despise, purely to insult people? You _truly_ need to get a life. And stop claiming you can read minds: you have NO IDEA why I or anyone else watch these vids, but I can assure you it's not to insult people, which I personally think is worse than "wallowing in sentimentality".
And _your_ view of history? "All royals bad." "Monarchy bad, republic good." _That's_ a "serious analysis"?? Don't make me laugh! That's not history; that's ideology, & completely subjective- not to mention totally devoid of the nuance vital to any "serious analysis".
Learn some manners or begone, pest! :D
