  • The Stuart Queens and consorts of England and later Great Britain indulged in art, theater and culture. One lost her crown when her husband lost his head. And most had to look the other way while their spouses carried on with their many lovers. The Stuart Queens consort and male consort were:
    Anne of Denmark
    Henrietta Maria of France
    Catherine of Braganza
    Mary of Modena
    George of Denmark
    Watch the whole series now: / lindsayholiday
    The lives of the many Kings and handful of Queens Regnant who have held dominion over the kingdom of England, and later the United Kingdom take center stage in history. But the lives of their spouses and mothers are often relegated to the wings. In this series we will learn the stories of the many Queens Consort and the handful of male consorts who have been at the monarchs’ sides. Through love, hate, adultery and sometimes murder these women and men have played vital roles in the history of England.

      Even for the time when infant mortality was high, Anne was extremely unfortunate. One theory why she lost so many babies in the womb is that Anne was afflicted by Hughes syndrome, also known as 'sticky blood' - it's where the blood is overloaded with antibodies which overstimulate the immune system and causes extreme blood clotting. These clots prevent nutrient passing through the placenta to the unborn baby and it dies.
      What's even sadder is that 'sticky blood' can be thinned with something as simple as an aspirin so the baby can thrive :(

    Damn, all of these are really depressing;
    - Anne of Denmark was refused to see her children and had a husband who didn't care at all about her.
    - Henrietta Maria was despised in England and her husband was executed.
    - Catherine of Braganza desperately wanted children but couldn't have them and meanwhile her husband fathered over a dozen children with his mistresses.
    - Mary of Modena was a child bride who wasted all her money trying to help her son succeed the throne.
    - Prince George lost all of his children and gained a horrible and undeserved historical reputation.

      The video says she was 15.
      And 15 was not considered a child at the time, girls could marry at 12 and boys at 14. Even today, in nearly all countries, you can get married when you are 15, though many require parental permission or excepting circumstances.
      I would guess that James II (of England) introduced her as a playmate because she was close in age to his daughters, and she was so much younger than him.

      Marriage at 12 was legal, but basically unheard of. And even when it did happen, it was considered highly inappropriate for the bride to live with her husband until she was 15 or 16. They knew young mothers died more often. Most royal marriages were not consummated until the bride was 16 or 17. He introduced her to his 11 and 8 year old daughters as a playmate. He clearly recognised that she was a child. She was not introduced as a step mother and an authority figure, but as a fellow child they could play with.

      Less than a week is barely anything, she was pretty much 15 at the time of her wedding. Arguing that she wasn’t is just semantics.
      Girls were considered old enough to live with their husbands at 12, but it is true that the marriages were often consummated when the girl was 15,16, or 17.
      Of course James II didn’t present his second wife as an authority figure, I just think it was because she was close in age to them, rather than he saw her as a child. He was also being realistic in how they might see her, as she was nowhere near old enough to have been their mother. That does not mean they wouldn’t have paid her proper respect as their father’s wife and stepmother.

    Poor Queen Anne! Her story has always "torn at my heart strings," (as the saying goes) but I thought she had 18 pregnancies, not 17. I read a book about her, admittedly a long time ago, in which the author said that out of all Anne's children, only 2 of them lived past the age of 5. I can't remember their names but she had a boy and a girl who lived until they were around 8 years old. When these children were very young Queen Anne had an artist paint miniature portraits of them and - after they too died 😢 - she carried the little paintings around with her always, and when she died they were buried with her. Very sad.

      She had 17 pregnancies that resulted in miscarriage, stillbirth or death in infancy and then her only surviving son died at age 11; so 18 pregnancies in total. Her son died a horrible death as well, that had to have been so hard. It’s hard enough to miscarry or lose a baby in a cradle but to lose a child at 11 when you thought you may finally have an heir to go on after you must have been such a blow

    Watching this as a big fan of "The Man Who Laughs" by Victor Hugo is quite interesting. The novel's main action takes place during the reign of Queen Anne, with the seeds of it planted during James II's rule, so all I could think of while listening to the actual history was the book's fictional plot going on in the background.
    The novel follows the fate of Gwynplaine, who is the illegitimate son of Lord Linnaeus Clancharlie. Lord Clancharlie supported the Republic and the people's right to rule (the novel never actually says why; I personally see him as a dreamer ahead of his time, sensing the oncoming Enlightenment era) to the point where he refused to acknowledge Charles II's restoration to the throne and exiled himself to Switzerland instead. Gwynplaine was born just after James II took the throne and, to mock the memory of the now-dead Lord Clancharlie, James ordered for Gwynplaine's mouth to be cut into an eerily comical grin "to forever laugh at his foolish father".
    Years later, when Anne is queen, Gwynplaine has grown up knowing nothing about his background and instead performs as a clown. He works alongside Dea, a blind girl, and the two are in love. But when Duchess Josiana, half-sister to the queen, attends one of the performances, she's immediately taken with Gwynplaine. To her, his disfigured face outwardly represents the inner loathing she feels for her life at court. Gwynplaine, in turn, is drawn to this mysterious noblewoman who can clearly see him and yet does not laugh at his face. Josiana sends Gwynplaine a letter inviting him to become her lover, but while he refuses her offer, he still gets caught in the web of court life when his aristocratic past is discovered and the nobles attempt to reinstate him to his father's titles under the assumption that he'll be an easily-controllable marionette. But Gwynplaine reveals in a speech in the House of Lords that the joke is on the aristocracy--he and Dea were raised by Ursus, a wise philosopher who taught them to see that "the paradise of the rich is made from the hell of the poor".
    It's a fantastic book, my favorite of Hugo's--I'm even writing a play adaptation--and I highly recommend the novel.

      @@LucieCornelia Margaret Beaufort wasn't *technically* a Queen. She was the mother of the king. Normally this wouldn't mean much, but Henry VII derived his hereditary right to rule from this relationship (as Margaret was assumed ineligible for kingship due to her gender), & since she was alive for his entire life (she outlived him), she played a distinct role in his life (tho. not one so great as usually supposed).
      She did not rule the kingdom thru him; for the most part she kept to herself, finally able to relax & give patronage to her own (not insignificant) estates in the knowledge her only child was King of England & not an attained rebel living on the continent. Still, she was one of the few people Henry could trust implicitly. Henry did not have any direct experience in estate management while Margaret did, so no doubt he relied on her advice for such matters.
      After Henry's wife died only his mother could console him. When Henry himself died not too long afterwards, Margaret played a small part managing her grandson Henry VIII's coronation. She lived just long enough to witness it, b/f passing away herself, perhaps out of grief. Given I doubt she would have approved of how Henry VIII went about his reign, perhaps it was for the best...

      0) Margaret Tudor, queen of Scots m. James IV, king of Scots, had:
      1) James V, king of Scots (her son)
      2) Mary, queen of Scots (her granddaughter)

    Interesting fact. Royals had access to "clean" living areas and the best doctors in the region. However, they would experience a far higher infant mortality rate, and death of the mothers, than the peasantry. I suspect that fact is related to the practice of inbreeding. This practice wasn't common among laymen and the peasantry.

This was done even after Mary had sent a beautiful gift to Catherine which King Henry approved of, but Mary would never make a appearance in court where Catherine was.
