She must have been extremely beautiful for a younger man, king of England, to defy convention and marry an older widow, a commoner (compared to him) with two children who's previous husband had fought for the other side. That's lust and love for you!!!
@@toddw14 He was only 22 when they married, but he he never stopped with other women. But they did have many children together, I believe 10, in about 18 years of marriage
Elizabeth Woodville was landed gentry on her father's side, but her mother, Jacquetta of Luxembourg, was an aristocrat who also descended from the Plantagenets through two of her family lines. She must have been really stunning. Thank you for sharing your work. It's awesome!
@@saramurai1220 ..... We have some famous kin in common. Elizabeth Woodville is in my family ancestry. 👸😚 I'm not for sure but seems like one of her children is who I'm a descendant of. Been a while since I worked on genealogy research 🤗🤫
Please include the formidable Jacquetta of Luxembourg, the mother of Elizabeth Woodville, and the matriarch of the descendants of her 14 children. I'm glad some of your viewers mentioned her.
@@jonniemckaig883...... I love that movie as well .....all 3, The White Queen, The white Princess,and Catherine of Aragon, are excellent movies. Loved all three of those movies. You pretty much have to watch them in order.
Cecily, the Duchess of York was called the Rose of Raby because of her beauty. It would be interesting to note if Edward IV and his descendants owed their exceptional height to her.
Forgive me if you have done it already, but I would absolutely love to see Elizabeth’s mother jacquetta of Luxembourg- who was also an amazing woman. You did an amazing job on Elizabeth, she’s one of my favourite historical figures!
This is beautiful. I am a descendent of Elizabeth Woodville through her son Thomas Grey. It is always interesting to see how a person may have looked. Keep up the wonderful videos!
Elizabeth’s original painting already is beautiful at a time where most sitters of paintings ( men and women) were depicted as plain, dull and frumpy. So she must have been a real beauty. An excellent result.
The result is beautiful. Same features as the original picture. I like that you tell the history of your characters while we see them recreated : ) amazing work 🖤👍🏼
Thank you for doing this one, Elizabeth Woodville is one of my Great Grandmothers and it's been hard for me to picture what she would really have looked like, but now I have a better idea.
Just wonderful! Can you recreate Elizabeth's sister, Katherine Woodville, Duchess of Buckingham? Her portrait, (or the one that is attributed to be her) is simply mesmerizing.
That was a great presentation and I think a picture of the pre and post Images side by side would be splendid. I am reading The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory right now and I will enjoy you presentation during my reading. Paul (UK)
@@charlottebruce979 ..... Yes apparently. So neat. I'd like to Ann Neville. She is one I've had an interest in. Margaret Beaufort is another very strong woman and was hell on wheels but she loved her only son Henry VII more than anything and everything she did was to get him crowned.
I too am a descendant of Elizabeth Woodville on the Grey side, but related to king Edward through another line. It really is a small world. So very interesting. From South Carolina.
I really enjoy your work! Hearing the histories and seeing your visual representations of what historical figures may look like is fascinating and I cannot get enough! Consider looking into Túpac Amaru II, who rebelled against Spanish colonial rule in Peru until his execution in 1781. Thank you!
There is a dramatic/historical documentary on Netflix about some historical rulers and I am watching the one about Caligula in Rome now, so I would love to see one of his sisters brought to life!! They were said to be very beautiful and also Agrippina was one powerful lady lol
I searched the internet after the White Queen, but the old paintings and Rebecca Ferguson didn't really do justice to what I had in mind. I was looking for something like this!
I notice that most of your recreations of historical figures are beautiful and/or handsome. I had to think about this for a bit, but I believe it makes sense. Physical appearance was, is, and will likely remain intertwined with power and privilege. One need only examine the social registers around the world to see that by and large, The Beautiful People own the world. Even if they delegate the daily grunt work to some ugly people. Great work!
This is my Grandmother! :) through the Stuart Dynasty through my Mom's side. And the men still do not sem to be able to carry their names brother, uncle and both nephews. :( I have 3 grandsons through my daughter and I am terrified for them hoping they marry and just have girls.
I'm a student of her era. The best description has her with dark eyes,& blonde hair with a bit of red and a ball on the tip of her nose and chin. Those features probably grew larger with age.
Elizabeth's mother Jaquetta, Dowager duchess of Bedford was a prominent figure in England, as widow of King Henry VI's uncle. Most likely Elizabeth and Edward met several times before the famous Whittlebury oak tree legend
I just love what you do. I am a Tudor / War of the Roses fanatic and it's so difficult to envision what people actually looked like. Holbein's portraits might have been great then but they're tough to judge by now. Just look at this difference in Elizabeth Woodville! I knew she was considered gorgeous, but as you say, what's in fashion also changes, and while a tweezed brow might have been a a standard of beauty then, today it only makes her appear as if she's going bald. Your work turns her into the head turner she was reputed to be.
Elizabeth Woodville and her family were RED ROSE Lancastrian; her father fought for the Lancastrians. She became “The White Queen” when she married Edward IV she and her family had no problem switching sides. Edward wanted to be consolatory to all the Lancastrian’s forgive and forget; to finally put an end of thirty years of war between the faction. This was very forward thinking for an 18 year old king; but Richard Neville was called “The King Maker” and the name went to his head. He expected to have TOTAL CONTROL over Edward and he despised the Woodville’s for supplanting his influence over the young king; Neville expected to be the actual POWER BEHIND the THRONE; like Dick Cheney was with W.
Very good. Do the records say that she was blonde? Her eyes are dark and her mother descended from an Italian noble family and further down the maternal line there was a woman with an Arab name.
So amazing that there are many viewers claiming to be a descendant. I am a subscriber and haven't seen that sort of reaction before. Any ideas regarding why E. Woodville is so popular, from a genealogy standpoint?
She was from a large family and had a very large family. Kind of like Queen Victoria, she spread her seed into the wind and apparently everyone was very fertile as well.
@@hobbesthecat6868 ..... I've always known that on my moms side of the family was from royalty. And many have done genealogy research and many royal names come in the line. A cousin of mine that has a degree in history actually traced moms side back 65 generations. The Guiness Book of World Records has documentation of King Charlanagne as having the largest tree going back 85 (?) generations. My great grandfather was a nephew of Queen Victoria and lived with he while he went to school in Glascow . He was born in Kingston Jamaica and attended school in Scotland. Yes there has been much research and documentation on her side and lots of royal names are in the tree on my moms side. It's amazing, not all were good but interesting all the same.
Your recreation of Elizabeth is stunning. If that is how she looked we can understand why Edward was captivated by her. I did read somewhere that she had blue eyes though, being a natural blonde. Natural blondes rarely have brown eyes.
I do wonder why the portrait would show her with brown then? Could be varnish or the portrait copier not quite getting it right. Or they could be brown - I couldn’t find a source for color besides the image.
@@RoyaltyNowStudios The colour of her eyes looks more grey to me than brown. This portrait was painted years after she had passed away, so might not even resemble her that much. It was probably copied from an original that was lost.I do remember reading that her eyes were blue from a history book years ago. I've found her interesting since I was a teenager, and I'm 53 now. The eyes might have originally been blueish grey on the portrait and darkened with age. Paint does darken with age. Apparently the complexion of the Mona Lisa was much paler than it is today. But given that Elizabeth had pale blonde hair her eyes would likely have been some shade of blue. Most natural blondes have blue eyes. Brown eyes and natural blonde hair is quite rare!
@@RoyaltyNowStudios Oh and I know you specialise in royalty but if one day you branch out into other historical people I'd love to see how you;d recreate the Brontes and John Keats! You do really great recreations!
@@RoyaltyNowStudios Also I read that Edward IV was also blonde, and very handsome but his portrait doesn't show that either. Puzzling! They said his brother Richard was not as good looking as him, sort of ordinary looking but when they found Richard's skeleton and recreated his head he looked rather nice looking and much more so than his brother's portrait!

She also played hard to get a bit and that is exciting for men even today.
Edward was 22 when he married Elizabeth who was 27, not too much of an age difference, they had many children together.
Edward was known as a womanizer, that's why she made him marry her.
@@toddw14 He was only 22 when they married, but he he never stopped with other women. But they did have many children together, I believe 10, in about 18 years of marriage

I think it would be fun to see a depiction of her daughter, Elizabeth of York, and son-in-law, Henry Tudor. The two had a very loving relationship.
Oh yes I would love that, too.
The white princess is about Elizabeth of York and Henry VII. There’s some dramatizations but it’s pretty accurate for the most part.

Love yr beautiful work..these women are divine
Beautiful! Thank you! My 14th G-grandmother, I descend from her daughter, Cecily of York Plantagenet
Soo many fascinating stories involving the players here within this time of history. Legends and facts!
Awesome recreation.
You're beautiful work brings life and soul to the dead.
Thoroughly enjoyed this piece. Thank You

Elizabeth Woodville is an ancestor through her first child in her first marriage. Jacquetta her mother is incredibly fascinating , too.
So pretty!
Wow. That’s a lot of layers.
Your recreation actually reminds me of someone, a modern actress/celeb... maybe Saorsie Ronan? I definitely see someone familiar 😊

You can really see her famed beauty in your portrayal. The portraits don’t do them justice.
Stunning

She is extremely beautiful
*Fabulous* 🌸
Super cool!

You have a thing about brown eyes. Elizabeth met Edward by an ancient Oak Tree on the road from Aylesbury Oxfordshire.
