The Royal Women

เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 28 ธ.ค. 2020
Historical figures - especially the women - feel so distant from us. We can access them only through pages of books, always forgetting that they were living, breathing people. They felt pain, happiness, love, sorrow - they were human. They had ambitions and dreams, complex loyalties, and most importantly made mistakes. Like us, they were human. To know about our world we must first know about them, especially the strong women behind it all. The ones who fought not to be forgotten to the sands of time.

Elizabeth Přemyslovna & Her Family's Comedic Power Struggles
The short story of Elizabeth Premyslovna of Bohemia is a wealth of strange occurrences that seem almost comical. She had the strength to seize power for herself and to search for that power even when sidelined. Her journey from a princess to a queen to a mother left in poverty by her husband was marked by the quarrels of her dysfunctional family of Habsburg progenitors.

Urraca of Leon - The Bold & The Reckless
มุมมอง 1.2K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
History records relatively little of the woman known as the first queen regnant in Europe. Empress Urraca of Castile and Leon fought her husband, her half-sister, and many others to secure her place on her throne which nobody seemed to see as hers. And as she was an Empress in her own right in the Middle Ages, she was bound to earn her two contrasting monikers-the Bold and the Reckless. Website...

Women in the Middle Ages ruling and keeping their kingdoms in their own right during a time of peace was quite a rare sight, and yet Queen Joan I of Navarre, the first female sovereign of her nation, managed this task spectacularly.

Mary, Queen of Hungary - A True Habsburg

Catherine Pavlovna - The FAVORITE Daughter
my sweet girls!!
She was an Orthodox a West European saint. There was no Catholicism yet. Make sure all the information in the video are correct, please. Thanks a lot!
She was called Anne of Russia for 1066 years and now she is suddenly "Anne of Kiev" and Ukrainian. A typical example of historical revisionism for daily political purposes.
Why didn't she become queen herself
I feel bad for her DIL 😅 having a just no MIL must have been a nightmare
the British king murdered them and blamed it on the revolution, when the British invaded Russia they murdered the priest nuns and monks
Middle eastern men love white women.
❤
You're a woman who has no idea what history is, go study the history of Ukraine from the Kievan Rus period, instead of pussyfooting around with Russian methodology and propagand
ITS NOT RUSSIAN IMPEROR LOOOOOOL ITS RUS, BUT NOT RUSSIAN
Amalasunta was a daughter of Theodoric (not -deric), of the Amal dynasty, Germanic military elites who ruled the Ostrogoths, as were the Balto who ruled the Visiogoths, these two clans occasionaly intermarrying. Her mother was Audofleda sister to Clovis King of the Franks who himself wed Princess Chlotilde of Burgundy, descended also from both Goth ruling families, and is now Patron Saint of France who convinced Clovis to convert to Catholicism.

Henry treated his illegitimate daughters better than his legitimate daughters.
She had a sad marriage but they managed to rise one of the greatest Czech kings and also Roman Holy Emperor Charles IV. who holds the titile Pater Patriae (or Father of the Nation) in Czech. And thanks for trying to pronounce the hard "ř", even many Czech kids can't pronounce it properly 😅
Fun fact, Sophia of Hanover was chosen to be the heir presumptive over her grand-niece Frederica Mildmay, the Countess of Mértola, due to the fact that Frederica's grandfather (Sophia's older brother) married his second wife Marie Luise von Degenfeld without getting consent from his first wife, Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel, to divorce. Under local civil and religious law, this arguably made their marriage bigamous and it was legally considered to be "morganatic", which prevented titles from being passed down to children, thus Sophia was considered to be more legitimate. Had this marriage been taken seriously however, Frederica Mildmay would have been made queen, and her descendant, Anthea Theresa Lycett, a British aristocrat born in 1954 would be Queen today.
Hello! Do you remember me? Again another wonderful video!
Is that a California accent?
Wait, no. Her brother was actually Henry I of Castile. Henry IV (half bro + predecessor of Isabella I) didn't exist until much later.
She dismissed him and later renamed his kingdom Istanbul 😂
She's Islamic not pagan.
no lol

Rurik is a fictional charakter. Olga has nothing to the russian empire. The russian empire has nothing to Rus except for the stolen name and occupied territories. And Kyiv is written differently. And there was no Kievan Rus, but Rus. Kyiv was the capital, where the highest ruler based

So little survives and I need to know so much! Typical... 😂

Not gonna lie. Rasputin pretty much predicted the downfall of the family when he died.
I hadn't heard of her until this evening. I want to know more of her story. What a life, I could imagine.
Did she try to learn to speak Spanish ? I know! I know! ….. “una mesa para cuarto por favor”
I’m interested in the story of Alys of Frances relationship with the king of England. There’s not a lot of info about her either and the alleged baby she had with him.

This would make a great Netflix series don't you think 💬🤔 I would definitely watch it 😊
The Majority of the people listed in the video were likey illegitimate children, but i don't think Ethelreda Malte was the child, as her mother was a low ranking laundress and henry would pick his mistresses at court, and the actual identity of her mother and the circumstances are very anonymous, so its likely just Elizabeth Tailboys and Catherine Carey
Lovely photographs!

chandragupta also got much of greek empire parts after defeating him

indian's first pan indian empire's first emperor's one of his first wife was a greek, and many europena (greeko roman) women were given to us, we use to do lot of buz all around the world especially europe, many indians since ancient times and medieval times married irani, central asian also, and many indians became kings in south east asia and married locals, even non royal but educated class went and work their and married nobels, for example cambodian chieftan princess married a indian marchant and created their first kingdom. And of course even today we are working and leading all around the world and marrying locals, our fav are caucasian
Thanks for doing this video! We absolutely love every one of your videos! ❤❤❤
That was so interesting! Thank you.
Thank you again for another interesting video about another interesting figure. One wonders why so many interesting figures aren't getting books, TV shows and movies made about them.
That's so true!! thanks for watching
Charles IV is a HUGE figure in Czech history, though (voted "Greatest Czech" in a TV poll, where the British original voted Churchill), so over here his mother is far from unknown. 😊 (Among many other things, he founded our first university.)
@@beth12svist yes he’s on Czech currency right? good that his mother isn’t left obscured there! me not speaking Czech was definitely a problem while researching this lol
@@TheRoyalWomen Yep. I think unlike Charles she's still more in the realm of "people at least mildly interested in history definitely know about her" than "everyone knows about her" the way Maria Theresa of the Habsburgs is; but when it comes to Czech queens, she's definitely up there. There's that period of infighting and attempts to seize the throne by marriage, and she came on top - even if, sadly, it did not really work out for her.
They're women. Are you still wondering?
Thank you so much for this interesting video 😃😊😁👍
@@eoincoll384 thank YOU for watching!
It’s curious how her brothers were painted in such a stunning fashion, and in the other hand somebody made this warped painting of her. The Joan in my mind is the one in the History Channel documentary. They also chose a nice actress for her in World Without End.
Thanks for the video. I first heard about Joan thanks to a History Channel documentary, back in 2006 if I recall correctly. Some of the information available online about her is thanks to my research. A sad story that most history fans still do not know about.
Bet she stunk
Ótima história 👏
No! She was not unpopular, it was thing that the free part of the greek nation disliked like the fact that the king was papist and the queen a prot reigning in a deeply orthodox nation (orthodoxy was and it is a matter of identity for the greek nation) and the fact that she could not bear any children (she was suffering by a rare syndrome) but the whole thing of the eviction was a british plot and initiation and nothing else to punish Otto for his pro-russian position in the Crimean War.
The last Tsar, his family and retainers were killed in the Ipatiev house which WAS in Siberia.
I heard strange stories about her private life and habits
