Hey Lindsay! Thank you so much for this series! I'm german and live in the city of Münster - where the Peace of Westphalia was signed! Not sure if it's still the same building, but you can visit the hall where it was signed. There are portraits of all princes in attendance all around the top of the room. This series really puts the events in Europe into great context! I'll be viewing this hall with fresh eyes next time 😉
I can't stop giggling because every other minute it's like "King so-and-so was in a crisis with x country, so he married his cousin" like it's their go-to response to stress

there's a bit in a Spike Jones recording ("None But the Lonely Heart") that goes a little like this: "...After all, we _do_ have a child. And he has a child, and she has a child, and he has another wife, and she has a child. And _that_ child, John, is _our_ child. I must go away somewhere and figure this out."
Ahead of their time. It's always been the case. Really good ideas tend to be broached earlier than we think, but socially, we weren't yet evolved enough in terms of thought.
Technically, Isabella of Castile didn't want them enslaved either, just converted t9 Catholicism. It was the people on the ground who more or less enslaved them.
A Habsburg family reunion would be like " - Hey, I need to talk to my uncle... - Me? - Not you uncle, the other uncle... -Me? - No, not you. The other uncle... -Me? -Not you, husband. The oth... I give up!" 🤣
It's crazy how those twenty-somethings managed to do so much at such a young age (be it good or bad). Meanwhile I'm still trying to figure out how to pay rent and do taxes and well, not die.
to be fair, the king of spain didn't have to pay rent on el escorial. (and, really, having that amount of power at such an early age seemed to mess them up a bit.)
And to think ...years later Franz Ferdinand had so much trouble with his uncle, Franz Joseph, about his marriage. FF fell in love with a Barroness, & was told she was not"equal" to him. After he insisted that he would not marry anyone else, hierarchy agreed to let him marry if he agreed that it was morganatic.. His wife could not be Queen and his children were out of the line of succession. FF stated that " so many of his family had married too-close cousins, no wonder they had so many inherited problems".
Aaaaand that's why the stereotype is of crazy royals doing crazy things. In reality they probably were suffering a lot, a lot of mental health issues, possibly due to genetic mutations and possibly due to inbreeding making unfavorable genes even worse. So, what may have been a predisposition to something like say, Schizophrenia or Depression in the grandparents was now all but a certainty in the offspring's offspring's offspring. Keeping it in the family compounds the genetic similarity so much, you eventually end up with every genetic trait being stronger - including the bad ones.
10:17 That information is wrong! Charles V did visit his mother. Not very often (he was quite busy with ruling 25% of the Earth 😄), but he did visit her sometimes. 1. Philip was far from being husband of the year, but technically it was not him who locked up Joanna, it was Ferdinand. 2. Ferdinand was the one who locked her in the Palace of Tordesillas. 3. Charles did not put her in any convent, he left her as she was during Ferdinand's reign: in Tordesillas. He visited occasionally. Joanna met Charles's wife and children as well.

The only jawlines secondary in infamy to the Habsburg Jaw are the Radium Girls and the Matchgirls, with their Radium and Phossy Jaws... or rather lack thereof. History sure does seem to like messing up peoples' jaws.
Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor: *wears black for the rest of his life after the death of his wife* (13:00) no one: Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom: goodness gracious! what a proud moment right here!
My ancestors from my great grandmother's side were nobles that served Austra before it was disbanded as a monarchy. I wonder if my family paticipated in inbreeding, schizophrenia and mental illness, run deep and strong in my mother's side. Along with small size, thin fine brittle hair, bad teeth and brittle bones.
Just one thing: Beatrix is not known as queen, she is now Princess Beatrix, as she abdicated and thus no longer holds the title queen. She could be referred to as “then Queen Beatrix” when talking about her reign, but when referring to her in present tense, she is Princess Beatrix.
It's interesting to hear that an EMPEROR declared no more slavery yet people said nah we're good and just kept on going about their business. Just goes to show how deep of a business slavery was and it was truly a part of the welfare of the western economic system
That famous Habsburg jaw... Has there ever been a time in the history of the world when there wasn't a war going on somewhere? In my lifetime there's always been war going on somewhere. 🥺
@@jennalee2344 😅 The chin thing has been pretty much diluted out with a lot actually marrying mere "commoners" by now. Look at the race car driver Ferdinand Habsburg. He looks pretty normal.
hi, Lindsay! can you also do a video series about the monarchs of Spain? i wanted to know more about them but i get bored reading in some articles because i wanted to know them through your videos! always loving your contents since 2020!
That really makes me feel better actually, knowing that even an emperor felt he was a failure and struggled with depression. It puts my problems in perspective, really - however hard my struggles have been, and however much I feel I have let others down, Charles had not only that but the world on his shoulders to worry about. Dude quite literally had it all, but he also had a lot of responsibility, and he still struggled. Nobody is immune to the burdens of suffering with untreated mental illness. I wonder if he was alive today, and if we still had functional monarchies like these, he would have been open about his mental illness and advocated for others dealing with the same or similar invisible wounds.
I have been looking forward to The Habsburg part ever since the series started! I find them disgusting with the whole incest, inbreeding thing, however they are fascinating to me! When you posted the video of Juana the mad, I hated Charles for what he did to his mother! However, this video paints him in a different light! I’m exciting to see the next video!
The Habsburg royal family is not a spatula jaw due to incest. Also, cousins are not included in the scope of incest. Even in the Bible, cousins do not correspond to incest.

@@용가리-x3l im spaniard and thats not true , the jaw is due to inbreeding, and the part about cousins , if u have children with your cousin, and your parents or grandpas had already married their cousins ,the probability of children being born with problems is way higher
@@angelacooper8973 most marriages between cousins around the world are with first cousins , which brings even a higher risk , but if ur parents were already blood related the posibilities of hildren with problems is multiplied even more
Very interesting; however, Titian, the artist that you mentioned that you called 'Titan', his name is pronounced 'Tee-shun'. You will find sometimes that his name also describes a hair color.
Hello, really good and interesting video, as always ! Just 2 tiny precisions about Philip II : he and Anne, daughter of Maximilian II were not only cousins, but uncle and niece. And he inherited some land in the HRE, the duchy of Milan that Ferdinand wanted desperatly, Charles having, as you said, clearly favored his son in the division of the empire.
@@erinw.9256 the only way I can think of easily is this: a pair of siblings (A1 and A2) get married. A1 marries B, A2 marries C. They each have children, doesn’t matter how many so long as it’s more than one but for the sake of time let’s say two children each. A1 and B have AB1 and AB2, while A2 and C have AC1 and AC2. AB2 and AC1 then marry. They are cousins. They produce ABC, who then goes on to marry AB1. AB1 is at this point both ABCs cousin on ACs side as well as their uncle on AB2s side. If you keep going long enough you’ll have AC/DC.
@@erinw.9256 To be precise, Philip II and Maximilian II were cousins because their fathets were brothers. And then, Max married Mary, Philip's sister. They had 16 children, inclunding Anne, who will grow up to be Philip's fourth bride. So it's more like he is her father's cousin. If you want to see more of this, look up the genealogical tree of the Habsburg family in Spain, its horrifying hahaha
I'm much more grossed out by the uncles marrying nieces than I am the cousins 😰 imagine your brother marrying and having kids with YOUR child. BRB while I vomit
Hi Lindsay, I love all of you videos... I learned thru CSI Genetics that I am related to Elizabeth of Luxembourg. I know she had 2 daughters. Are any of her decendents still reigning.? That I might be related to????
Great documentary, as usual, I only ask you to retify the maps, because Brazil and the other portuguese colonies only went to the spanish crown in Philippe II’s reign, not before, so his father never ruled over these lands as suggested in the video’s maps.
As morbid and dramatic as it was, Maximilian displaying that essentially all men die was a pretty epic, dark reminder that no one escapes the fate of death. I dig it. Now, the inbreeding infatuation, definitely do not dig that.
I think too many people forget about memento mori these days. We're convinced death only comes for the old and infirm. Back in those times, death could strike at any minute, you didn't have the health tools we have today or on-call hospitals with state of the art treatment. I think the COVID pandemic brought that reminder and that existential fear back for a lot of people, once more reminding them, they're gonna die. I also think that just as it has undoubtedly made some people entrench in ignorance, it has also enlightened people to how important it is to love life. We don't get as long as we think we do, so the most important thing in life isn't to accomplish arbitrary milestones but to ENJOY LIFE. You are mortal, you're going to die, so am I. I choose to spend the time I have on this earth creating, exploring, and authentically being my best self, doing what I enjoy, and spreading kindness to others.
Hey! Could you make a video about Empress Isabel? She is not widely spoken, but she was regent of Spain throughout her husband's reign as Holy Roman Emperor, and she was one of his advisers. Besides that, from what I've read, when she was princess of Portugal, she basically threatened her father (the King) that she would either marry the emperor or become a nun. I also read that they like her in Spain, because she made the kingdom safer, she was the granddaughter of Queen Isabella of Castile, and she was similar to her grandmother in some ways.
Hey Linsday! Thank you for the educational videos! I watch and rewatch them and I enjoy them every time. Just one note: the painter's name is Titian, not Titan.
Very clear explanation of something that could be a bit confusing to say the least! Thank you for this. SIDE NOTE: The great Renaissance Master who painted the portrait of Charles' wife, Isabella of Portugal, is known as TITIAN (rhymes with "mission" for example). Thanks again.
Can you consider doing a specific video on Charles V? He seems to be one of the greatest European rulers and I’m definitely interested in learning more about him.
Dear wonderful narrator and host: the artist that emperor Charles commissioned, his name is pronounced ti-chienne, with the second part of the word being pronounced just like the word dog is in French. That is just an example of how to pronounce the name, not a commentary on the genius artist.
Exactly. Pronouncing it “Titan” made my art historian’s heart cringe. In America, I usually hear it said “tih-SHE-ee-in” (with the ee-in almost merged together) or “tih-shin”.
They never did 🤣. Except for prolonging the family line, sex for the sake of sex was considered sinful. Even taking pleasure in it while with your spouse was considered sinful.
Hi, I'm from Spain and you should know that the person who made Colon's travels posible was Isabel of Castille, and with her all her kingdom. Fernando wasn't than keen on the marine, btw. And also Juana wasn't mentally ill, she was said that so their own father, Fernando, could do the regency and then her son took the crown for himself. I love your videos but, please, read more and better sources, because it is not right to take away the Glory from Isabelle and Castille, or Juana's pride, to give it to Fernando or Carlos. Cheers 🥰
Yes, Fernando was horrible to both Juana and Catalina. Juana seemed to have had a different idea on things, such as religion, and both her parents did not like that and her father, husband and son all used it against her to keep control. Makes me sick.
Well unfortunately her mental state was definitely exaggerated by her father but many historians believe Juana could’ve suffered from either bipolar disorder, depression or psychosis Juana was another victim of the cruel mistreatment of mentally ill ppl at that time, she needed kindness/actual help instead of the abuse she suffered
@@ButtonsCasey That's right. She was manipulated and outraged by their male relatives and it's disgusting that history only remember of her that they called her "la Loca", as if she ever had gone crazy ir something.
@@alyssao517 I think that happened because her husband tortured her, abussed her and raped her many times. She was depressed, of course, but also maybe she was in shock most of time. It is just the word "loca" has been used by man, all history, to the take power over a female sobering who may had been seen as vulnerable.
10:00 - Charles V visited his mother and that's where he met his sister Catherine of Austria who was named after Catherine of Aragon. Joanna may be insane, but she gave good education to Catherine of Austria. Charles had mistresses too, but this was before marriage and after Isabella's death. Charles had a son legitimized as Juan (Don Juan de Austria). 15:20 - Ferdinand easily adapted the German culture despite of being born and raised in Spain. He was born a Spanish infante (crown prince) and died a Holy Roman Emperor. Ferdinand is more famous in Spain than his brother Charles. He shares the same name and birthday with his maternal grandfather Ferdinand II of Aragon.
I love your videos, but you have errors in the maps you show. Charles had no power over the Portuguese Empire, even when the Filipes had the throne of Portugal, the two empires were never united. And showing the Empire as including the whole South America and the continental USA is a bit far-fetched. I've noticed that in videos that mention the Iberian history you have some errors, that for an anglo-saxon audience may not be noticed, but to us are very noticeable and perpetuate misconceptions in audiences from other countries that aren't familiarized with our history.
Hey Lindsay! Thank you so much for this series!

Funny how Ferdinand and Isabel are mentioned, considering that Constantine XI left the Byzantine Empire to them...
His brother Thomas Palaiologos’ son Andreas was the one who willed the titles of the Byzantine Empire away to Isabel and Ferdinand. Not Constantine.
While other dynasties practice inbreeding; the Habsburgs make A business out of it.
The Habsburgs had farther influence, they had influence in Spain, Portugal, France, Brazil, the Netherlands, and other countries.

And he inherited some land in the HRE, the duchy of Milan that Ferdinand wanted desperatly, Charles having, as you said, clearly favored his son in the division of the empire.
I'm trying to wrap my mind around this. How the actual fuck can someone be another person’s uncle AND cousin at the same time my brain caaaaaaan’t!!!
@@erinw.9256 the only way I can think of easily is this: a pair of siblings (A1 and A2) get married. A1 marries B, A2 marries C. They each have children, doesn’t matter how many so long as it’s more than one but for the sake of time let’s say two children each. A1 and B have AB1 and AB2, while A2 and C have AC1 and AC2.
AB2 and AC1 then marry. They are cousins. They produce ABC, who then goes on to marry AB1. AB1 is at this point both ABCs cousin on ACs side as well as their uncle on AB2s side.
If you keep going long enough you’ll have AC/DC.
@@erinw.9256 To be precise, Philip II and Maximilian II were cousins because their fathets were brothers. And then, Max married Mary, Philip's sister. They had 16 children, inclunding Anne, who will grow up to be Philip's fourth bride. So it's more like he is her father's cousin. If you want to see more of this, look up the genealogical tree of the Habsburg family in Spain, its horrifying hahaha
@@erinw.9256 😆
They were uncle and niece too? *banjo music intensifies*
Good narration
Really enjoyed this
Painters tend to photoshop their subjects to flatter them but holy crap 2:24 is nightmarish. I wonder how he looks irl.
LOL ikr
I'm much more grossed out by the uncles marrying nieces than I am the cousins 😰 imagine your brother marrying and having kids with YOUR child. BRB while I vomit
Hi Lindsay, I love all of you videos...
I learned thru CSI Genetics that I am related to Elizabeth of Luxembourg. I know she had 2 daughters. Are any of her decendents still reigning.? That I might be related to????
Oh.. important fact Elizabeth 1409 1442.. her father was Sigmund Holy Roman Emperor.of Hungary.
Love thes videos
Great documentary, as usual, I only ask you to retify the maps, because Brazil and the other portuguese colonies only went to the spanish crown in Philippe II’s reign, not before, so his father never ruled over these lands as suggested in the video’s maps.
Austria was always a part of the HRE. It never existed out side of it.
Another great video!
11:27 Brazil wasn't belonged to Spain. But yes to Portugal 🇵🇹
2:27 he looks like the character Murderface and I feel bad for laughing
Marie Antoinette also had that famous Hapsburg lip
Nice vid
As morbid and dramatic as it was, Maximilian displaying that essentially all men die was a pretty epic, dark reminder that no one escapes the fate of death. I dig it. Now, the inbreeding infatuation, definitely do not dig that.
I think too many people forget about memento mori these days. We're convinced death only comes for the old and infirm. Back in those times, death could strike at any minute, you didn't have the health tools we have today or on-call hospitals with state of the art treatment. I think the COVID pandemic brought that reminder and that existential fear back for a lot of people, once more reminding them, they're gonna die. I also think that just as it has undoubtedly made some people entrench in ignorance, it has also enlightened people to how important it is to love life. We don't get as long as we think we do, so the most important thing in life isn't to accomplish arbitrary milestones but to ENJOY LIFE.
You are mortal, you're going to die, so am I. I choose to spend the time I have on this earth creating, exploring, and authentically being my best self, doing what I enjoy, and spreading kindness to others.
Super film
Hey! Could you make a video about Empress Isabel? She is not widely spoken, but she was regent of Spain throughout her husband's reign as Holy Roman Emperor, and she was one of his advisers.
Besides that, from what I've read, when she was princess of Portugal, she basically threatened her father (the King) that she would either marry the emperor or become a nun.
I also read that they like her in Spain, because she made the kingdom safer, she was the granddaughter of Queen Isabella of Castile, and she was similar to her grandmother in some ways.
Hey Linsday! Thank you for the educational videos! I watch and rewatch them and I enjoy them every time. Just one note: the painter's name is Titian, not Titan.
Very clear explanation of something that could be a bit confusing to say the least! Thank you for this.
SIDE NOTE: The great Renaissance Master who painted the portrait of Charles' wife, Isabella of Portugal, is known as TITIAN (rhymes with "mission" for example). Thanks again.
Can you consider doing a specific video on Charles V? He seems to be one of the greatest European rulers and I’m definitely interested in learning more about him.
Dear wonderful narrator and host: the artist that emperor Charles commissioned, his name is pronounced ti-chienne, with the second part of the word being pronounced just like the word dog is in French. That is just an example of how to pronounce the name, not a commentary on the genius artist.
Exactly. Pronouncing it “Titan” made my art historian’s heart cringe.
In America, I usually hear it said “tih-SHE-ee-in” (with the ee-in almost merged together) or “tih-shin”.
Philip and Juana had six children before he was 28!! Holy cow! They weren't doing it for fun 😂
They never did 🤣. Except for prolonging the family line, sex for the sake of sex was considered sinful. Even taking pleasure in it while with your spouse was considered sinful.
They were probably supposed to think of the Pope or something. Except that sounds kind of sinful too.
Hi, I'm from Spain and you should know that the person who made Colon's travels posible was Isabel of Castille, and with her all her kingdom. Fernando wasn't than keen on the marine, btw. And also Juana wasn't mentally ill, she was said that so their own father, Fernando, could do the regency and then her son took the crown for himself. I love your videos but, please, read more and better sources, because it is not right to take away the Glory from Isabelle and Castille, or Juana's pride, to give it to Fernando or Carlos. Cheers 🥰
Yes, Fernando was horrible to both Juana and Catalina. Juana seemed to have had a different idea on things, such as religion, and both her parents did not like that and her father, husband and son all used it against her to keep control. Makes me sick.
Well unfortunately her mental state was definitely exaggerated by her father but many historians believe Juana could’ve suffered from either bipolar disorder, depression or psychosis
Juana was another victim of the cruel mistreatment of mentally ill ppl at that time, she needed kindness/actual help instead of the abuse she suffered
@@ButtonsCasey That's right. She was manipulated and outraged by their male relatives and it's disgusting that history only remember of her that they called her "la Loca", as if she ever had gone crazy ir something.
@@alyssao517 I think that happened because her husband tortured her, abussed her and raped her many times. She was depressed, of course, but also maybe she was in shock most of time. It is just the word "loca" has been used by man, all history, to the take power over a female sobering who may had been seen as vulnerable.
@@AnaFitzgerald1996 agreed. Her life was so tragic, definitely a historical figure I feel sorry for
Yesterday i saw this video was 6 minutes old lol
I also Love this series
In college I took a course on The Habsburgs and loved it!
10:00 - Charles V visited his mother and that's where he met his sister Catherine of Austria who was named after Catherine of Aragon. Joanna may be insane, but she gave good education to Catherine of Austria. Charles had mistresses too, but this was before marriage and after Isabella's death. Charles had a son legitimized as Juan (Don Juan de Austria).
15:20 - Ferdinand easily adapted the German culture despite of being born and raised in Spain. He was born a Spanish infante (crown prince) and died a Holy Roman Emperor. Ferdinand is more famous in Spain than his brother Charles. He shares the same name and birthday with his maternal grandfather Ferdinand II of Aragon.
I've been waiting for the habsburgs!!!!
I love your videos, but you have errors in the maps you show. Charles had no power over the Portuguese Empire, even when the Filipes had the throne of Portugal, the two empires were never united. And showing the Empire as including the whole South America and the continental USA is a bit far-fetched. I've noticed that in videos that mention the Iberian history you have some errors, that for an anglo-saxon audience may not be noticed, but to us are very noticeable and perpetuate misconceptions in audiences from other countries that aren't familiarized with our history.
I like when Lindsey talks about feuding siblings resolving their conflict, only by one of them dying 😂😂😂
