The Tragic Story of 3 Medici Girls: Lucrezia and Isabella de Medici, and Leonora di Garzia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2024
- The 16th century tragic story of 3 young Medici women. The ladies were the daughters, and niece, of Cosimo I de Medici, the Duke of Florence, and later the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Although Leonora was a niece, she was raised alongside the girls from an early age. They were like sisters, and she was like a daughter to Cosimo. We start off with Isabella de Medici followed by her cousin Leonora di Garzia, with whom she had a very close relationship with. We finish it off with the youngest of the girls, Lucrezia de Medici, who unfortunately didn't make it past the age of 17.

Correction: At the beginning of the video (16s) I say Cosimo I de Medici, Grand Duke of Florence, but should be Grand Duke of Tuscany. He was previously Duke of Florence.
Thank you for this video, most of the attention goes to the male members of the family, so this focus is much appreciated. Isabella is one of my favorite Medicis, so I’m glad to see some love going her way.
🙂So glad you enjoyed the video! Even though it wasn’t a happy ending for them 😏
The Medicis!!!! Love this! They were my inspiration for my trip to Florence. We visited their home and got a hotel nearby. You just got a new subscriber! I love history! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Thank you, and welcome! Florence is my favorite, so beautiful.
They’re my inspiration to go there too!! Anything you can share about their must sees there, love to hear it!! 🙏🏼🙂
Great idea for a video! Have so many places to share. 😊
@@historybylynnyYes!!!! 🙏🏼💜
That’s why I travelled to Florence as well ,going on their footsteps. Fascinating
Wow, such tragedies. I find myself thinking after I watch one of your videos like these, how I’d manage if I were in the position of the figures you mention. Very sad & thought provoking stories! 🙏🏼🤔⏳🦉💀🌹
I would definitely think I could play at politics, but end up dead hella fast 😅
@@jessjess23brooks89 I know, me too!! 🙄😂
Excellent love the fact I have no real knowledge of these people and you are telling me something new
Glad you enjoyed the story! 😊
Fantastic video and very informative. I feel so sad to learn the fates of these women trapped in the brutal patriarchy of the time 😢
Thank you! Yes, so sad 😕
Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. Have a great day. Have you ever done Georgiana Spencer Duchess of Devonshire England. I heard it's a great history story about her life 😊
Just found your channel.
It's a perfect breath of fresh historical air
Thanks 🎉
Yay, happy to have you here! 😊
Love this and your narrative is nice!
Those poor women. They got the short end of the stick with their marriage. It's also unfortunate their parents and family couldn't or wouldn't protect them.
Very Nicely Done❣️ Thank You. ❤️
Thank you!!
I don't know if you are interested in literature but maggie o Farrel wrote a wonderful novel on lucrezia's life but of course she gave a better ending in the novel than in real life.
I read that one! The marriage portrait
I had no idea how numerous they were! Also very handsome according to the portraits we can see. It seems like it didn't pay to be a wealthy young woman, given how
common wife-murder was. This is a very informative video. I want some of those outfits, complete with the jewels.
Fascinating, love these quality videos!
All of this is so interesting! I first became interested in the Medici family after watching a docudrama series about them, as well as a few short documentaries. I later learned that I may be a descendant of Henri II and Caterina, but have not had much time to study and learn for certain.
I am a member of an ancestral organization, so much of my ancestry has been confirmed, but when one begins to learn about these people and their fascinating lives (both good and bad), it still seems more like good fiction!
Interesting stuff
Love the channel!! 😃😃xx
Thank you! 😀
My compliments to you Lynny - fabulously interesting 🤔 may I say how you r excellent in your pronunciation of Italian names, and cities etc! I am a Medici, from the line of Giovanni Delle Bande Nere (John of the Black Bands), and as much as he was rather interesting, his Mother was an extremely amazing woman, whom u may like to research? Thank u ever so much 😊
Wow, I know all about his mother! How interesting, a Medici and a Sforza 😀
Thank you so much for sharing!
🤭😆😆😆 piacere mio, Lynny! 😉 🇮🇹

Loved this video the history is so interesting and tragic. The girls were all beautiful, obviously men had no respect for women at that time…so sad 😢
More pls
A fantastic book is The Marriage Portrait about Lucrezia. It’s historical fiction but a great read.
New subscriber- that’s for not using ai voices and ur channel is great
Glad you are here. Thank you so much! 🙂
Love your reading.
It seems the later parts of every dynasty develops corruption and bad habits. Compelled into marriage with men who turned out to be horrible. With disrespect for women a major feature in the culture of the time.
Leaves us wondering what could have happened if they had made other choices.
An aside....weren't their dresses gorgeous? I love the fabrics and designs of the period. And the fact we have portraits.!!👍
Thank you. Gave your channel a new follower.
Very informative, well done video. The Medici are very interesting. I only have one criticism, a pet peeve of mine. You repeatedly call them "girls" while their husbands, lovers, and brothers are men. It's infantilizing and insulting, especially when speaking of their extravagant lives, and misbehavior. ie:"He wasn't a fan of the girls' lifestyle in Florence."
As a historian, I know that women *were* quite infantilized back then, hence the need for guardians/protectors (even many cases where the 'guardian' was a woman's grown son) but we don't have to perpetuate their infantilization. They were old enough to be married, take lovers, have children, and manage large households and lands, etc, so they deserve to be called women or ladies. Or you can refer to their husbands as boys. Just be equal in your language. (unless, as in some historical marriages, there's a large age gap, such as when powerful men marry the much younger girls, often early teens, who were intended to marry their sons, etc.) I'm not a feminazi by any means, more of a language/grammar aficionado. Like I said, it's a pet peeve, and it irked me every time I heard it.
I understand. Thanks for the feedback.
damn get a journal 😭 ain’t nobody reading allat. a whole ten page thinkpiece is insane lmaoooo
@@BobUikder-ig4uq If you can’t handle that paragraph (it’s not even close to a full page) how the hells did you possibly finish school?
The double standards are appalling!
I feel like the artists of some of these portraits- hated this family
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You could not make this stuff up 😂
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful wicked women
Grand Duke of Florence? No such thing... Actually,' Dukes of Florence & afterwards ruler of The Grand Duchy of Tuscany...
Yes you are correct! Duke of Florence and Grand Duke of Tuscany! 🤦🏻♀️ should have caught that
great video content, you might want to try and improve on your voice tone though, because its always around the same key and after a while, it sounds boring and will put people off. Elocution lessons cant change your deep voice, but will help you improve your speech and make it far more melodic. Currently its really obvious that you are reading from a text. Good luck.
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
Boring
Then don't listen or watch! You seem rather stupid anyway!

Rude.
