British historian Gildas writes that the Scottish were raiders who invaded northern Britain now called Scotland and it was the British who built a wall to keep them out, he also says how the British begged the Romans to remove the Scots which they sent an army north to evict them ...
Poor Berengaria, she was always pursuing Richard to have a bit of his attention, this can teach a lesson of never creep away after a man, if he wants you, he gonna move heaven and earth to have you, like Henry did for Anne.
Very true..none if that family even spoke English!! England was seen as a "backwater". Eleanor also bankrupted the country to pay Richard's ransom after His capture too..lovely bunch lol
I love that you are doing this series. One of my mum's main focuses with her history degree is shining a spotlight on certain women in history who don't often get written about and she would totally love this. All these people have their own stories and those stories deserve to be told.
@@Laramaria2 Well there was only one other Female consort who wasn't Henry's, and also a Tudor, his mother Elizabeth. Other than that Edward and Elizabeth were Virgins and Philip of Spain the Husband of Queen Mary was you know, obviously a male consort
@@adwinjoseph3773 I know, but is kinda funny that a man got married 6 times and half of his wives had the same name 😬 Edit: That's why I said "and that's only with Henry VIII", like, only with his wives we already have the most common name for queens in the next part 😂
Edward I "Longshanks" is my ancestor and I always did love his relationship with Eleanor of Castile. It's rare for a King of that period to be faithful and find love in a wife to whom he was arranged to marry. ❤
@Víctor Mombrú Haha I know, nice to meet you. I just know that I'm his descendant because of my mother. Nice to meet you cousin 😊 I know there are a lot of famous people related to him too
Yeah. And King Edward wasn't just loving to Queen Eleanor of Castile, he was also a loving husband to Queen Margaret of France! Clearly, he respected his ladies. 😉
As someone who loves history this channel is my favorite on UA-cam. I love listening to your videos while I write my papers for school or am doing schoolwork. You help to keep me sane 😂🤣
Okay but I read a little more into Edward and Eleanor (because I'm descended from them 😁) and uh I'm genuinely emotional about how much they loved each other and how devoted Edward was to Eleanor. They really were a real life love story 😭😭
Yeah. It really speaks volumes about King Edward and Queen Eleanor's happy marriage that he had been faithful to her throughout their marriage. ❤ One could also argue that he was also loving and faithful to his second wife Queen Margaret(Obviously uncomfortable age gap aside). ❤ It's implied by Margaret refusing to remarrying despite being widowed young and her statement after King Edward's death, "When Edward died, all men died for me."
Lindsey I swear you're the reason Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days of the year! Btw I'm still waiting for that history of menstruation video you said you'd release on women's day
And I would have finished it if there were subtitles. I am not death, just don't like earphones on my head while I am lying under the covers waiting for sleep to catch up
This weekend I found out this was my bloodline. I've never heard of it until this weekend and your video is helping me with my researching and knowing my ancestors. Thank You
Richard wasn't 'shot full of arrows' he was shot once in the shoulder and the wound festered and became gangrenous because he yanked the arrow out himself in inpatience. And Queen Eleanor was never 'rumored' to have murdered the de Clifford mistress. The rumor was that she died in childbirth.
@Ana Dìwö It's really not that exciting, it's pretty common to link into royal and noble lines that far back. Besides, it's through John, so that bad brother lol.
I was suprised where I read that Queen Elizabeth II isnt related to Charlamagne on all sides. On my charts its hit or miss if they pointed to Charlamagne/Plantagenets/Yarslav/Mohammad. I quit counting on one side that had all of Charlamagnes children as parents of someone. But on others, there were several dead ends and no connections to Charlamagne, etc.... Its more or less a roll of the dice on royal connects. I suppose if it wasnt for every royal connect or commoner meet for whatever the reason I would not exist. Lol. Im forever grateful.
Lindsay I just love your work so much! The way you explain and detail the often confusing and bizarre historical tales is so perfect I could listen to you for hours. Hollywood could never, and bless youtube for giving you this platform to entertain the shit out of me xoxooxoxox
@Pastor John K Jenkins sr I hope you just pasted this because that's a shit load of typing otherwise - should be a stenographer or something put your time to better use
Adoreeeee this series and all of your incredible videos! Would love a video about the very few kings and queens who were faithful to their partners and about their marriages!
Eleanor of Castille was the great great granddaughter of Eleanor of Aquitaine... Her great grandmother was Eleanor of England, Queen of Castille... Incidentally her great grandmother was her husband's great aunt (his grandpa's sister) so they were 2nd cousins once removed as Edward was her Dad's 2nd cousin...
Mortimer is I believe the only person to ever escape from the Tower of London. I feel like Henry Cavill could play him in a movie ( I like to pick his roles for him 😂) You can see why Isabella was like ‘ ooo this is the one ‘
Will the next video feature Joan of Kent? I know she was never a queen consort, but she was a queen mother, and her story is so fascinating. I would love to see a video about her!
4:42 I googled dysentery thinking is some kind of depression or something that is devastating for your mental health since Lidsay said he was “devastated” and I find out its just extreme diarrhea.
Should be mentioned that after Edward the 3rd lost his wife, he took in a lover name Alice and started treating her as his wife's replacement (which no one liked). He had no idea she was also cheating on him as well. When Edward died, Alice stripped the rings off his finger and ran off
Melody, have you ever watched the british Horrible Histories? They do a song that is FANTASTIC about Boudica. Sticks in your head for days. If you look it up on UA-cam, also check out their songs Luddite and Evolution. Incredibly clever and hilarious! Boudica was SUCH a badass!!!
Your videos are excellent. So entertaining. Just one thing: almost all scholars put Isabella of Angouleme's age at TWELVE when she married John. Many contemporaries describe her as a nymphomaniac......yet she was only 12. Also, there is a lot of historical evidence pointing to Richard Lionheart being gay. But maybe you left that out, so as not to distract from the females' stories.
I am an Old U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant and Christian. My family tree has several who sailed from "Great Britain" to America as far back as 1611 A.D.. After years of research, my greatest discovery was Philippa of Hainault is my 19th GREAT GRANDMOTHER. Until the Lord takes me home, my wife, as King Edward's wife, will indeed keep me in check-mate.
@@KG-ds2fj I’m good, but it’s getting quite boring and annoying that Henry keeps acting like he’s going to win this crusade. It would be cleaner if he just gave up now.
I wonder if any of the royal jewels or the crown that was lost to the Sea when they were crossing the estuary has ever been found?? Could you imagine walking along the shoreline and all of a sudden coming up upon the crown jewels that were lost hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years before? They would still have to exist somewhere to this day??
Instead of referring to the eras as Anglo Saxon, Norman, Plantagenet etc, they should name them after the queens. The Matilda dynasty, the Eleanor era, etc.
They are not contemporary portraits, no. The earliest surviving contemporary portrait for a King of England is of Henry VII, tho. mostly-accurate copies of contemporary portraits survive for Henry VI, Edward IV, & Richard III as well. That should tell you that no portraits survive for any English royal b/f the 15th Century (when all the above kings reigned). However, contemporary *depictions* typically survive in the form of tomb effigies, which were generally made within their lifetime. So depictions of many 12th & 13th century English royals survive this way, incl. a great many of the queens in this video (Eleanor of Aquitaine's tomb, for ex.) A strictly-accurate video would probably use those images, which are widely available on the web.
Many of the portraits are indeed the work of 19th century illustrators and engravers who often took a deeply romanticized approach to the Middle Ages, hence all of these queens having the exact same porcelain doll face (ie very much Victorian beauty standards). Many of the images in this series (including Matilda of Scotland and Isabella of Angouleme) are from a 1875 book "Biographical sketches of the Queens of England, from the Norman Conquest to the reign of Victoria : or, Royal book of beauty" edited by Mary Howitt.
@@princekrazie Haha, I study Victorian literature actually and have some passing familiarity with Victorian Neo-Medieval illustration (my wheelhouse is more in the realm of fairy tale illustration, but there's some overlap there because 19th century folks sure did love highly romanticized images of the Middle Ages). I did a reverse Google image search to try to pin down the exact title of the book.
How about the empress Mathilda -the mother of Henry the Second -she briefly became the effective ruler of England when she took on and defeated her cousin Stephen in the period called the anarchy -which effectively was the first time a woman ruled England as a queen regnant(Not a consort)She is known as "empress"because she was the widow of the Holy Roman Emperor.Her father was Geoffrey Plantagenet from whom the dynasty gets its name.
Matilda was never formally named Queen, she was called " Lady of the English". Geoffrey was her husband, not her father, Henry l, son of William the Conqueror, was her father. She made a deal with Stephen, that when he died , her son Henry ll ,would be the next King. Henry ll was married to Eleanor of Aquitaine, and they were the parents of Richard l and John.

Oohhh yes that would be interesting
Yes, Scottish History is interesting especially Macbeth and Mary, Queen of Scots
i like the sound of that.
A Video On Scottish Queens And Consorts Would Be Most Interesting!!!
British historian Gildas writes that the Scottish were raiders who invaded northern Britain now called Scotland and it was the British who built a wall to keep them out, he also says how the British begged the Romans to remove the Scots which they sent an army north to evict them ...

Poor Berengaria, she was always pursuing Richard to have a bit of his attention, this can teach a lesson of never creep away after a man, if he wants you, he gonna move heaven and earth to have you, like Henry did for Anne.
Yep. But then he had her Beheaded because she couldn’t give him a son. He then married Jane Seymour not even a week after Anne’s death.
Well, Richard did not murder Berengaria like Henry did with Anne, so that's a point for him in my book.
More like Edward I and Eleanor of Castile, they were the classics
Yes then treat them as a trash then behead them lol nice logic u have
Richard was homosexual. So he had zero interest in a bride.
Berengaria of Navarre was the Queen of England who never went to England!
