Eleanor of Castile
An historical documentary looking at the life of the wife and queen of King Edward I of England, Eleanor of Castile.
This episode looks at the life of Eleanor from her marriage to Prince Edward of England, son of Henry III, the future King Edward I of England right up to her death at the age of 49 years old.
Following her marriage to Edward, a twelve year old Eleanor travelled by herself to England in the summer of 1255.
In medieval Europe, for a twelve year old girl to marry was considered normal.
Her new husband, Prince Edward, would have been around 16 years old and was already part of Henry III military expedition in Gascony.
Edward followed his new wife to England a few months later after his father has resolved the Gascony crisis.
Eleanor’s popularity as queen in waiting proved unpopular in England, as many quite rightly feared that many of Eleanor’s relatives came to England, at her father in laws invitation.
Little is known of Eleanor’s early life at the English court with her new husband.
It is known that between 1260 to 1261, that her mother, Joan, Countess of Ponthieu, married again to Jean de Nesle and returned to her native France.
Whether Eleanor attended the wedding or was even invited has never been recorded.
In 1264 the Second Baron’s War broke out when rebels led by Simon De Montfort tried to wrestle control of the country from Henry III.
The rebels aim was to create a parliament to rule the country.
Eleanor naturally supported Edward and his family against De Montfort.
Unlike her mother in law, Eleanor of Provence, Eleanor elected to stay behind in England rather than join the Royal Court in exile.
She actively sought to recruit archers from her mother’s home region of Ponthieu in France
A task now made easier since her mother had re-married and returned to the region.
When word reached De Montfort, following the Battle of Lewes, that Eleanor intended to recruit troops from Castile for the Royalist cause.
He removed Eleanor from Windsor Castle into imprisonment at Westminster Palace in Summer of 1264.
Her confinement though did not last a year, for her husband Edward escaped from De Montfort’s imprisonment in Hereford.
After Edward’s escape he led the Royalist army to victory against De Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, killing De Montfort in the process.
The defeat on the Barons in the second Baron's war saw the rise of both Eleanor and her husband.
With England now again a settled nation, Eleanor was pregnant numerous times.
Giving birth to three daughters and to two sons, John in 1268 and Henry in 1269.
With the belief that Edward and Eleanor had an heir and a spare, in 1270 they joined the eighth crusade in the Holy Land.
Edward intention was to join up with his uncle, Louis IX of France at Carthage, which is now modern day Tunisia.
But Louis died from dysentery which had infected his army.
Eleanor and her husband spent the winter in Sicily.
Most likely seeking security from being infected by the French army in Carthage.
The couple eventually arrived in the holy land in 1271 and set up their encampment in Acre.
Whilst staying here Eleanor gave birth to another daughter called Joan of Acre.
The royal couple stayed in the Holy Land for just over a year.
Even though the Crusade was considered a disaster, Edward’s presence marked him as a target.
An assassination attempt on his life was made in June 1272.
Edward was stabbed in the arm by a dagger that was assumed to be coated in poison.
Legend had it that Eleanor attempted to the suck the poison from his arm.
But whether this story is true or not, the wound was seriously inflamed, and surgeons had to cut a lump of flesh from his arm.
Leaving Acre a few months later, Eleanor and Edward arrived in Sicily, where they learned of the death of Edward’s father, Henry III.
It seemed their departure had nothing to do with the death of their eldest son, John, as they left the middle east a year after his death.
And, not due to the death of Henry III as they had already departed months before his death.
En route back to England, Eleanor and Edward were forced to stop in Gascony as Eleanor was due to give birth again.
Here Eleanor gave birth to another son, called Alphonso after her half-brother.
And again, Edward and Eleanor had another spare to the new male heir, Henry.
After the birth, the couple returned to England for their coronation.
Edward’s and Eleanor’s coronation took place at Westminster Cathedral on the 19th August 1274.
The royal couple’s marriage was considered a success in an age where many arranged royal marriages saw the monarch engaged in extra-marital affairs.
Edward did not have any mistresses and no illegitimate children.

Philippa was the woman who inspired me to plead. She believed that she could make a difference and she did. I live in a Care Home owned by Dimensions the 2nd Highest Government Company in the country and 3 or 4 times I've pleaded to the authorities of Dimensions not to fire people or discipline them and it's worked. At Philippa taught me believe in yourself. Dreams are real. Miracles do happen. Hopes are not in vain. Dreams come true......

E of Y would have had a lighter shade of red and that's where history was made. She gave the same red hair to her son and he became the king of hissy-fits [and, oh yes, of England, too].

Wasn't Rich 2 also a child? Sounds like a perfect match made in Purgatory, if not heaven.

He was not a Child... He was Born on 1367, married to Isabella in 1396... He was at least 28 or 29... But yes... His Purtagory must be Heaven...
Honestly she seemed to have been a Kind Woman why was Richard so cruel. Wish we had more information on how Joan raised Richard.

It was pretty dumb to crown Edward of Middleham as prince of Wales, knowing that he wasn’t going to reach adult hood. Because it was a well-known fact the court; Edward Middleham was always a sickly child.
Thank you for your comment
shame you use robot narrative - they always get the names completely wrong. spoils it
Thank you for your comment. We are trying our best to ensure that names are pronounced as accurately as possible. If you could point out where you feel the names have been mispronounced we will ensure that these are corrected when we revisit and update the documentary in the future.
Please fix your audio. Get a better mic thanks
Thank you for your comment. We will be revisiting this video to fix the audio at a future date. Many of our latest releases have already fixed the this issue.
It was an happy marriage, based on affection started in childhood, as young Richard was sent to be grown up in Warwick's household, so he and Anne spend their childhood together. Convincing Edward IV to allow him to marry her, Richard got control of her many properties, but above all he saved her from being forced to retire in a nunery, as her sister and her brother-in-law (Richard's senior brother George Duke of Clarence) wanted, in order to absorbe also her half of Warwick's heritage. Richard is reported to be destroyed by grief by the loss of both his wife and his only legitimate son (he had also two illegitimate children, a boy and a girl, born before he married Anne...). Someone thinks that his grief lead him to face Henry Tudor at Bosworth Field in a sort of desperate mood, as a man that at that point had no hope for the future left. It's very sad that a man who was so attached to his family became famous above all through Shakespeare's version, in which he is portraited as an heartless schemer and even the cause of his own wife's death...
Thank you for your comment
That’s not true. Richard was in talks to marry A Portuguese, princess. Get your facts right.
Thank you for your comment. You are quite correct that there were negotiations for Richard to marry Joanna of Portugal. But we are concentrating on Edward of Middleham in this documentary and not Richard III and as no bethrothment happened it is a point for this documentary to bypass.
thanks this was informative, I think there may have been a typo at 3:45 though, because he was called John Knox

I think it's so good for our country that he died young because he was still the son of a completely cruel king. and then he demonstrated in his childhood that he was going to be like his father, he killed a bird with his own hands. if he had reigned long ago he would have made the people of our ancestors suffer, I even think that he would have been as cruel as the emperors Nero, Caligula and also worse than King Richard III and as fanatical as King Charles IX who made Saint barthélémi. In my opinion it is an excellent thing that he died, it is true that he was orphaned young but this does not excuse his behavior which could turn into fanaticism and cruelty the proof he even exiled his half sister Lady Mary who because she was Catholic yet she took care of him he has no recognition, he even approved the execution of his 2 maternal uncles he could have if he had a little humanity to veto but no Once again he shows that he is cruel. I pity the people who have had to endure the tyranny of this king, poor kingdom

Berengaria as a child doesn`t look like most native children here in Navarra, who are typically blonde. And your Sancho VII of Navarre at 0: 32 looks completely foreign, perhaps like someone from South America, with Native American roots. Sancho VII, btw, was a giant (2, 20 cm ) who had an important role in the Battle of Navas de Tolosa (1212).
Thank you for your comment which is much appreciated. Unfortunately we can only go on information available when researched for creating images, such as for Berengaria in this link, www.englishmonarchs.co.uk/plantagenet_37.html. If you are able to provide information for Sancho we would certainly look into this for when the documentary is updated at a future date.
@@historyshots4612 Thank you. Good work then with the images.
@@historyshots4612 P. S. I stand corrected on Berengaria, but I think there is a point to what I objected to some of the images of Sancho VII of Navarre: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sancho_VII_of_Navarre#/media/File:Sancho_VII_de_Navarra_-_Compendio_de_cr%C3%B3nicas_de_reyes_(Biblioteca_Nacional_de_Espa%C3%B1a).png And a later portrait: www.enciclopedianavarra.com/wp-content/uploads/12850.gen16265002.jpg

I have a question. Mary was not a queen in her living years, just got married into a man of high status. How true is it?
Thank you for your comment. You are quite correct in that Mary did not become queen consort to Henry IV. Though her place in history is worth documenting as the wife of Henry IV and mother of Henry V.
@@historyshots4612 thanks for the reply!
She was high status, she is descended from the FitzAlan Earls of Arundel and the Earls of Essex and Northampton of the de Bohun family
@@The1987Kid Okay, thank you!
Both Edward iii of England and his son the Black Prince committed countless war crimes in France and brought decades of abject misery to both countries. Ultimately the early 'gains' in the hundred years war ( eg after the battle of Crecy) were for nothing as the French were very successful later in the war. In the end, after several generations of massive suffering triggered by Edward iii starting the hundred years war, it all ended in 1453 with a complete French victory. Henry V 'victory' at Agincourt in 1415 led to nowhere. It is odd that so many English historians cheer on Edward and Henry's wars, with their huge loss of life and a vast waste of taxes and resources.
Thank you for your comment. We love hearing different opinions on historical events.
No one care what you think.
Halo slàinte mhath mo charaidean! I literally, just last night, found I could be related to the MacAlpines! All the way back to Donald and beyond, through clan Gregor and clan Drummond, starting with Elijah Drummond. Found this premiere while looking up info about Donald I, what a happy coincidence! 👍🇺🇸🏴🇮🇪🇮🇲🏴❤️
Thank you for your comment and story, it is really nice to hear. Unfortunately, we couldn't find out too much about Donald I for this documentary but felt a video was still required to be done to ensure that we will cover every king of Scotland.
Good effort! (don't let rude Mr Edwiser grind you down). this period of history needs more coverage, so I hope you make more 'shots' with animation and maps. Rule Britannia.
Thank you for your comment and support. We'll be producing more documentaries soon but taking a short hiatus due to some personal issues.

The King of Germany, Sanchia's husband, was Richard of Cornwall, brother of Henry III, King of England. The King of Sicily, Beatrice's husband, was Charles of Anjou, brother of Louis IX (Saint Louis), King of France. So we have 4 sisters, as it was told. The first one Margaret and the fourth one Beatrice married two brothers in France. The second one Eleanor and the third one Sanchia married two other brothers in England. The King of France and the King of England were really Kings. The King of Germany and the King of Sicily were Kings in a symbolic way, not seriously. If you speak French, I recommand you to read "Marguerite et Éléonore de Provence, sœurs et reines de France et d'Angleterre" by Sophie Brouquet. It's really very interesting. The music is awful. I don't understand why it's here. We cannot concentrate. Excuse my English if it's not perfect. I'm French.
Thank you for your comments. We have looked at the issue with music in our videos and have decided to use them only during the title sequence in future. Documentaries with these issues will be updated in due course.
@@historyshots4612 Thank you !
Oh! But we're forgetting Billy Connolly!
Thank you for your comment. We will get round to Billy.... eventually.
Whats with the music??? It drowns the script.
Thank you for your comment. We will rectify this soon, but recently we have stopped using music during our narration in our latest documentaries.
@@historyshots4612 its annoying -cant hear the story . waist of time ..ridiculus .. remove the music .
Richard II did not have a documented mistress because he was a homosexual. He and his first wife had no children, and she necame fervently religious devoting her time to caring for the sick and poor (most likely how she caught Plague however The Black Death killed Serfs,Gentry,Nobility,and Royalty alike.) However, He loved Anne very much but i doubt they ever shared a marital bed. These are not the only reasons for Richard suspected of being homosexual, it has been documented he "lavished expensive gifts and attention to his favorite male courtiers" much like Edward II. Although Richard II was much more discreet and showed some self control..That or burned all evidence,documentation,and murdered ex male lovers. Make no mistake, Richard II was kind to his wives but a horrible king.
Thank you for your comment.
