Marie De Guise - Mother of Mary Stuart, Queen Of Scots

- Marie De Guise - Mother of Mary Stuart, Queen Of Scots: Marie De Guise was born on 22 November 1515 at Bar-le-Duc, Lorraine and died on 11 June 1560 at Edinburgh. She was Queen of Scots from 1538 until 1542 by her marriage to James V, and regent for her absent daughter Mary, queen of Scots from 1554 until 1560.
Thanks to the French troops that supported the Scottish government against internal and external enemies, she had de facto power over Scotland from 1547 onwards, although she was not formally given the post of regent until 1554. She was one of the main players in the Franco-Scottish alliance against England and the Scottish Protestants, and sought to preserve Scotland as a Catholic country for her absent daughter, a goal she failed to achieve, as she died in the midst of the conflict against the Scottish Protestants supported by England, allowing the Scottish Reformation to be implemented a year before her daughter's return.

Marie De Guise was an incredible woman. I really admired her and Christina of Denmark for saying no to Henry VIII.
Thank you for watching Leticia !
A very wise choice, indeed!
@@abbymonta650 Extremely wise considering King Henry VIII's track record. It was also brave considering his temper.
@@tjk200081 Yes! As he got on in his years, whether by age or traumatic brain injury via jousting, he's certainly not one I would want to find in my bedchamber!
I’d say she made the right choice. IYKYK
I love your channel so much. I'm 14 and from the united Kingdom 🇬🇧 but I love France and its extraordinary monarchy. When I'm older i want to be a Historian specialising in the years of the 16th 17th 18th 19th 20th centuries . I admire you so much and cannot wait for your future videos.
How wonderful to read a young person so enthusiastic about learning and history. Your goals are commendable! 👏😊
@@annfisher3316 thankyou, i believe history is far more important than many other subjects. The lives these people lived with all their power, privileges, pain and daily lives must not be forgotten. I just love history so much
@@lewispilling9649 Your an Amazing person
Hi Lewis, I just graduated with my bachelors degree in History, focusing on European and Latin American history. I agree with you that history is such an important subject. I hope to work as a museum educator, but things may change. Best of luck to you!
@@hannahrozenberg3411 well done on graduating! I wish you best of luck with your life !
Marie was very clever! I like how she denied Henry VIII in a witty way 👑👏🏻! Merci 🌸
Royal Women Throughout Europe Knew Of Henry VIII's Reputation Of Womanizing And Beheading The Wives Who Did Not Satisfy Him,It Translated To Evey Language!!!
Smart woman indeed. Thank you for watching !
Who’ve thought humiliating and dishonouring your first wife and murdering your second would make you unpopular on the marriage market lol
Mary Queen of scots is my favorite historical woman so I’m so excited to see this video about Marie!
I'm glad you liked it Katie !
What a movie her life would make! Marie must have been as formidable as she was intelligent…to be able to keep the Scottish throne accessible for her daughter Mary. Especially during such turbulent times in Europe.
Agreed. Thank you for watching and commenting
As you might infer from my last name, I am always pleased to learn about the close relations between France and Scotland.
Glad you liked. the video !
Marie had quite the destiny!
Thank you for watching and commenting again !
Your videos are helping me understand French royal and noble connections to other monarchies in Europe.
Fabulous channel!
👍👏✌😊
Thank you so much Ann, I really appreciate your kind words !
Thank you so much for this video. I always admired Marie de Guise's inspiring political role during her regency as well as her mother, Antoinette de Bourbon's political involvement to maintain her family's position. I've learnt so much from this video. I didn't know before this that James V was actually her second husband.
Glad you enjoyed it !
I loved this video and learned a lot!!
I’m descendants of the Guise family in France and named after Mary. I’m really proud of my family lineage.
Wow that's amazing to hear, I can imagine you are proud ! Thank you for watching !
I love watching your videos, it's so good to learn about French history my Grandmother was French, she was so pretty trained to be a concert pianist. She was so beautiful but died when my Dad was 9yrs old. She spoke French and English too. She was only 28 we still keep in touch with her family
I am so sorry your grandmother passed so soon.... 😢
Merci encore une fois pour une vidéo fantastique. Alison 🇬🇧
Merci à toi Alison !
Marie is quite interesting! And, learning about her life is very helpful in understanding both the political and religious context into which Mary Queen if Scots was born.
Glad you liked it Maria !
She is portrayed in films so very differently. This has helped to put her life and personality into a much better perspective. Thank you for what you do. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank YOU for watching Randy ! Merry Christmas to you too !
I feel sorry for her and her daughter, Queen Mary. Both were strong independent women who faught for their rights all life. Marie De Guise gave her entire life to protect the throne for her daughter. She didn't marry after death of her second husband. Mary had a hard luck in love and marriages. Her true love Francis died so young and next Darnley was so unfaithful and greedy. Third, Bothwell died rotting in prison.
Thank you for sharing this information with us !
Loved this video!
😘😢😍
Fascinating insights into a powerful and astute woman whose life enables us to explore the political and religious conflicts of the age and sets up the showdown between Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots.
Thanks Carl, glad you liked the video !
Excellent!! Only for you will I watch all the ads!
Haha that is so kind, but you better skip them though. If I were in this for the money I'd have chosen a VERY wrong profession haha !
So thrilled to have found this channel! What wonderful content!
Welcome ! I'm so glad you like my content, makes me very happy !
It's unfortunate that Marie De Guise died before her daughter could take real power. Marie was shrewd and smart and it's likely that the queen mom would have been a great and wise influence on her daughter.
Thanks John, I appreciate reading your thoughts !
Is it okay to gainsay what you believe?
I enjoy learning about French royal families…could you please add English subtitles so I could understand better…thanks
I'll see what I can do... Thank you for watching !
I love Marie de Guise, she was an intelligent, formidable woman in a male-dominated world at the time. She was very educated and courageous, and her daughter Mary, Queen of Scots inherited her courage. She made the most of her circumstances as Queen Regent and fought the English as much as possible, while trying to balance Scotland's alliance with the French. It was not easy, and in the end she couldn't stop fate from changing circumstances, but she held up very well considering the odds against her. It's a shame that Marie de Guise was made to feel like a stranger in her own country of birth when she briefly reunited with her daughter, she had to beg for financial help. I thought that Henri II treated her bad.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us ! Merry Christmas !
Great video I enjoyed it 👍😀
Glad you liked it Michelle !
Thanks for putting this together from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧 xxxx
Thank you so much for watching !
Very interesting. A prologue to Mary Stuart's reign. I did not know about the political landscape in Scotland prior to Mary Stuart.
Glad you found the video valuable !
I admire Maire di Guise because she was a great Dowager Queen of Scots. She kept Scotland fot Mary, Queen of Scotland.
Marie of Guise is one of the few regent women who ruled on behalf of a child female reigning queen in Europe. That small list includes Blanche of Artois, mother and regent of Queen Jeanne I of Navarre, Sancha step grandmother and Regent for Queen Giovanna I of Naples. Elizabeth of Bosnia, mother and regent for Queens Mary of Hungary and Jadwiga of Poland, Margaret of France, regent and mother of Queen Catherine of Navarre, and Maria Christina of the Two Sicilies, regent and mother of Queen Isabella II of Spain.
Thank you for sharing that information with us John !
Very interesting and informative. I had never seen some of the portraits of Mary De Guise featured in this video. It was good of Mary to allow religious freedom. It is difficult to understand why different religious groups could not practice religious tolerance, but instead sought to oppress each other. That seems the opposite of what Christianity should have been about.
Glad you enjoyed the video !
Thank you, wonderful as ever. How fascinating and awful Marie de Guise planned to make France, Scotland and England French territories, or at least, nearly. Thank goodness, 'Warrior,' Elizabeth I was on the Throne, no offence to France but we had been invaded before so not again thank you. She sounds a schemer and plotter to me. Xxxx
Thank you so much for being here once more Laura !!!
Are you french??
I think you've misunderstood slightly. Marie de Guise was NOT planning to make Scotland and England French territories, that was the aspiration of Henry II of France and it was used as propaganda against Marie due to her reliance on French troops against English armies and latterly Protestant Scots too to try and maintain order. She even stated Scotland would be best served with the removal of both French and English troops. She was no more a plotter or schemer than any of her contemporaries including Elizabeth I.
@@margaret-annf4119 oh please! she was the one who agreed with the marriage contract which would make Scotland part of France in a case if Mary dies childless! it doesn't matter Henri forced her to or any other excuse! Scottish nobles had every right to turn against such woman after her betrayal! now you might say it's protestant propaganda! would Francis II be forced to annul a contract if it didn't existed and it didn't face a backlash by Scots? that sounds propaganda to you? it's not clear what Mary thought of it, maybe she agreed with it, maybe she was decieved or manipulated into accepting it, or was forced to, at the end of the day, it was her mother who allowed all of this to happen and made Scotland untrusting of her which we all know how that ended up
Great job, i love this new movie 😍
Glad you like it Sylvie !
Mary, Queen of Scots first regent was James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran - the 3rd Earl was his son (ironically briefly considered as a potential husband to MQS and Elizabeth I!)
You're french is flawless 🤴🤴
I wish, but alas, it is not. Thank you for watching !
Great video on Marie de Guise. She was a tough woman despite the challenges of her gender and the fact she was a Catholic in a land leaning to Protestantism. PS: The proper pronoucation of Edinburgh is Edd-in-BUR-RUH or Edd-in-BRUH. 😉
Uh oh, its just as difficult as worcestershire sauce to me haha ! thank you for watching !
Why didn't Mary of England (daughter of Henry VIII) wanted to meet Mary of Guise?
Thank you for watching Andreea !
Mary of England was pro Spain anti France
@@angebaker5687 as it should.. even applies today
How did they keep all this stuff straight!!
Thank you for watching and commenting !
What an informative video! Thank you SO much! And I have more questions about Marie de Giuse now. A very specific woman...Don’t think she was a successful ruler and a diplomat...And what about her son? It’s so interesting to get to know about his later life...
I might do a follow up on her son, if I can find enough information about him, but at the moment I haven't really done a a lot of research in his direction. Thanks for watching again, I really appreciate it !
Sadly he died young, around 15 in 1551 - during Marie's last visit to France actually. He is reported to have died in her arms. Very tragic :(
👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching !
Marie was incredible and gorgeous!
BTW, I have the blood of a Frenchwoman in my veins, a former friend of my mom. :)
Hope you make content all the way back to Charlemagne!
I'm planning to...
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Please allow English subtitles. Thank You.
I try to but youtube doesnt recognkze my channel as english to my great frustation.
Marie de guiss😍
Thank you for watching !
I Am Obviously Anxious To See The Video About The Daughters Of Emperor Nicholas II,The Last Czar Of Russia,But Can You Do Videos On Other Russian Grand Duchesses. One I Am Very Interested In Is Anna Pavlovna,Who Married King Willem II Of The Netherlands When He Was Crown Prince. When Belgium Was Part Of The Kingdom Of The Netherlands,She Willem Preferred To Live In Brussels,The Grand Palaces And French Language Reminded Her Of Her Native Russia. When She Was Queen,Her Husband And Children Rode Bicycles And Greeted And Waved To The People,She Preferred To Stay In The Palace,Aloof And Distant From The People,She Was More Of A Russian Grand Duchess Than She Was A Queen Of The Netherlands!!! She Did However Give Generously To Charity.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll add her to my list.
Love her remark to Henry VIII when she turned him down.
Yup. She was fierce !
I am much pleased to see this story as it much enriches my knowledge of French/Tudor/Stewart dynamics. However, upon visiting your channel (while I fully acknowledge its raison d'etre), I was disappointed to find that it covers only Bourbon (please forgive the shorthand) dynasty. I would much love to learn (as my understanding such as it is, is Anglo-Norman centric) more of earlier French Kings. Some of the Merovingians, Mayors of the Palace, Carolingians (and this is mysterious to me) the transition to the Capetians in the 10th century. Anyway, no disrespect to you or to your content (which I have found interesting), but if you title your channel "The Kings of France", it seems it should have a broader focus. Also, a discourse about 'Salian Law' as regards Henry V of England's claim would be interesting.
Edited for typo.
Thanks John. My Channel is quite new and a work in progress. Earlier kings will be covered. I will also branch out to other European houses as I’ve had the request of viewers. Name of the channel might be changing to The Kings Of The World soon..
@@TheKingsofFrance Thanks and glad to hear it! I suppose I should have checked to see how new your channel was.
@@TheKingsofFrance Oh, and since I'm lobbing unsolicited content requests your way, I think Phillippa of Hainault is a very interesting and historically important figure who doesn't get the attention she deserves!!
Had Edward 6th lived and if Mary had married him, their children would have A unquestionable claim to both thrones.
Mary De Guise endured so much for her daughter Mary Queen of Scots, and her Catholic Religion. In the end, it's what nixed both of their reign's.
Thank you for watching and commenting ! I really appreciate it !
"I may be tall in stature but I have a very little neck" LMAOO
Thank you for watching !
😂
Although your videos are very good, you should really try to change the Flemmish "r"-sound in your accent to the correct English "r"-sound. As a Dutchman I can hear your're from Belgium.
Thanks for watching. As to my accent, it is what it is and many viewers actually love the rolling ‘r’ sounds…
Another video I've been waiting for plus not only Marie Henry actually had the audacity to propose marriage to Maria de Salinas Baroness Willoughby de Eresby Catherine of Aragon's best friend since childhood
Henry VIII wasn't the most charming guy in history obviously... Thank you for watching !
@@TheKingsofFrance actually infidelity was in James's blood his father James IV had multiple bastards even before his marriage Margaret Tudor his known lovers are Maryon Boyd Margaret Drummond Janet Kennedy and Isabell Stewart James Earl of Moray was a bastard of Jannet Kennedy
@@TheKingsofFrance other than proposing to Mary de Guise there is rumors that Henry VIII wanted to annule his mariege to Catherine Parr and marry Maria de Salinas Catherine of Aragon`s best friend and confidante
Speaking of Maria de Salinas I'd like to share that Maria's daughter Catherine Brandon (born Catherine Willoughby) was Jane Gray (the 8 day Queen)'s step-grandmother
@@TheKingsofFrance Hanry VIII had a plan to devorce Catherine Parr and marrie Maria de Salinas dowager baroness Wiloughby de Eresby but Hanry died before he could devorce Catherine btw there is rumors that not only Thomas Saymore but Catherine Parr allso asaulted Elisabeth I sexually
Is it okay to say that I have often heard said of these Frenchified Elsass-Lothringen
nutters “the bloody Guise”
?
I had never heard of that. Thanks for sharing.
Marie De Guise is an interesting woman. Rejecting Henry VIII, trying to run the country while separated from her children. That couldn't have been easy.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting again !
Would You Consider Doing Videos About The House Of Orange,The Dutch Royal Family? They Get Very Little Attention Or Press Compared To The British Royal Family. Back In Her Time,It Was Said Of Queen Wilhelmina That She Was The World's Wealthiest Woman!!! And Very Interestingly The Netherlands Is The Only Monarchy Where The Throne Has Passed Successively From Mother To Daughter From Wilhelmina To Juliana,Then From Juliana To Beatrix. The Pattern Was Broken When Beatrix Abdicated In Favor Of Her Eldest Son,The Current King Willem-Alexander. 👑🧡🇳🇱
Yes, I was planning on doing a few of them but not sure when I'm gonna fit it in though. Thank you for the suggestions !
the Earl of Arran ho became regent was a possible marriage prospect for Elisabeth I but it failed because Arran went crazy because he felt pressure about the political situation in Scotland it was just too hard for him to handle all the political turmoil in the country and it drove gim insane
No the 2nd Earl of Arran was who became regent, it was his son James who later went insane. His mother and maternal aunts were also known to have been plagued by mental ill-health.
I have A question for you: have you ever heard of the UA-cam channel: See U in history ? They cover history/ Greek and Norse Mythologys.
Yes I have heard of them and seen a few videos … great channel for sure
She seems like she was quite the formidable impressive woman.
Indeed. Thank you for watching Michael !

I love that Maria of Habsburg calls her out, Regent to regent, for still needing a man's signature.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
That Auld Alliance...
This womam is my parent
I like your videos, but you should discontinue the music, since it distracts from your lecture.
Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll consider it.
How did they know she was fertile?
She had had children with her first husband. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Please do a video about the people ( women) who fled from territories due to religious persecution of the churches because of herbal and spiritual knowledge and came to Louisiana and later became the Acadians and the traitors ( healers) they all ran away from these groupings of nobles in the religious political landscape
Hi, I'm not really familiar with that topic tbh so I might read up on it, but making a video on it is unlike for me atm...
Think the auld alliance was under Charles 5 about 400 years prior to 16 the century 🌹
Thank you for watching !
Not quite, about 250 years before Marie de Guise was in Scotland. It was signed in 1295 during the reign of Philip IV of France and King John Balliol of Scotland
y wouldnt mary tudor attend?
both were catholic
Because France and Spain had a bad relationship at the time, whereas Mary Tudor was very Spain minded.
.
😊
her husband really had to die on my birthday
I don't think he did it on purpose Kiki ! 😎
@@TheKingsofFrance well, at least Peter the Great of Russia was born on my birthday 🤷🏽♀️
Ralph Sadlier took care of Mary when she was a baby! NOT ONE WORD HER! NOT TRUTH!
Thank you for watching and commenting
No women seemed to fair well in Scotland. I can not think of one.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting Kim !
Mary of Guelders - while with her own challenges to face - actually fared reasonably well. Also please look up the story of Black Agnes of Dunbar she is a wonderful Scottish woman to read about!
From the reincarnated King James of Scotts better not find out you're lying
Thanks for watching !
Marie promises religious freedom, well, how did that work out with Mary Queen of England? These religious ideas are just nonsense, and I learned a long time ago how they started.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Marina !
@@TheKingsofFrance I am an atheist, but don’t boo anyone who is religious or expresses their religious views. The latter is as long as their beliefs are not forced on others including me. I tried to see the balance between religions, but all they’ve done was to murder anyone who wasn’t on their side. I realize it was politics (and in previous centuries so cannot be evaluated as modern) but it was nonsensical.
