It seems you forgot to mention that Elizabeth Woodville possibly died from the plague! In 2019 a letter was found suggesting that it did indeed happen. Although it is not 100% certain, the way her funeral was carried out hastily and quietly does support the fact
Princess Joan was 15 when she died but among her companions was her sister Isabella who was accompanying her sister I'm not sure if she was going with her to the border or to Spain itself I read this in a historical novel about Isabella who was left stranded in France because all the retinue of her sister died in the plague and she couldn't return to England for two or three years When she arrived her father King Edward III and his queen couldnt believe it and his father swore to himself that he will never let another of his daughter leave ENGLAND again and he granted Isabella permission to marry a nobleman she loved that is what i read it was a sad andbeautiful story
Henry vii had a father, who was dead at the time of his birth of, well you know, he was 26, and his mother was 13. His mother outlived Henry by about 2 months
I first heard of the story of Princess Joan of England when I saw a documentary on the Black Death. Her father's letter to her father in law saddened me. It was clear despite the former language that he was affected by news of her death.
I know what documentary you're talking about, it included reenactment of the events. Before she was sent off, there must have been some talk in England about the sickness creeping across the continent. It's a shame Edward III was not aware of how severe it was and that passing along messages back then took so long. Also, instead of stopping in France, I wonder how them going directly to Spain would've worked out (though it was already there too).
@@lebou9540 Joan's traveling party was warned about the plague and was told it was too dangerous to pass through France, but they pressed on, and Joan's death was the result!
A common misconception: the Tudors didn't so much end the Wars of the Roses so much as internalize and cannibalize them: Henry Tudor fought two battles after he ascended; beheaded Edward of Warwick after keeping him imprisoned for years; beheaded Perkin Warbeck, beheaded William Stanley; imprisoned Edmund de la Pole. Henry VIII executed the Duke of Buckingham; and, infamously, Margaret Pole, sister of the executed Edward of Warwick. This is not the record of a dynasty at peace with its position.
Henry the 7th killed everyone you mentioned except for Margret Pole. Margret Pole was killed by order of Henry the 8th because she was mother of cardinal Reginald Pole, allies of his daughter Queen Mary
So glad you mentioned Margrete I of Denmark She rests in my hometown Roskilde ... BUT .. originally she was buried in another church, while a year later her body was stolen and brought to Roskilde, by her close friend, who happened to also be the bishop of Roskilde. A 3 day feast was held in her honour after the move. Pretty wild stealing the body of the late queen, right?!

19:20 Actually the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance is in fact still in effect to this day it’s actually the World’s Oldest Alliance so it didn’t last until the Napoleonic Wars since the Portuguese came to Britain’s aid during the Great War (1914-1918)

❤❤❤❤I really love your channel and would like to suggest a video idea: Royal princesses who died young, for example: Mary Of York, Mary Of Waltham, Joan Of plague, and lastly Margaret Of York (Daughter Of Edward IV)
Richard didn't quote "discover a priest" to say that Edward had previously been married. The Bishop who married Edward to Eleanor Butler came forward at this time because it was against Church law for a bastard to inherit the throne since the King's first wife was still alive when he married the prince's mother. He was a bigamist. Richard was the last descendant in the male line of the Plantagenet dynasty. Richard III was not unpopular. He was known as a fair and just man and very popular in the lands that he governed and also known for his honesty and upright character. The princes we're not shut in the tower. The Tower of London was the designated place for the heir to the throne to await his coronation. The fact is no one knows what actually happened to the princes and remains one of history's greatest mysteries and is debated to this day.
thank you for this!!! so glad someone said it, otherwise I’d have had to do it myself and I don’t have the energy lol. richard was a good king and perhaps the most unfairly maligned person in english history. so odd seeing otherwise solid historical channels still repeating centuries old propaganda unquestionably.
@@mariawhite7337no, he didn’t. there have been dozens of occasions in which people have claimed to find the princes. in some of these cases, they were apparently grown men who went on to live long (ish) lives. we simply do not know. and repeating unsubstantiated rumours is not a good way to approach history. the first record of ANY accusations regarding richard and the princes came from french propaganda at the time. they then traveled from france with henry tudor, who weaponised them AFTER richard’s death in order to discredit him. he was a very popular king in his time and even more so before his crowning, when he served as an important political figure in his brother’s reign. I’ll never understand why people are so willing to believe the word of gossiping political enemies when it comes to *this* monarch, but not others. the tudors and their extremely weak claim to the english throne are just really goddamn compelling I guess. I can’t help but to think that his physical disability is a factor. it was very very easy for henry tudor to discredit richard, not just as a king but as a PERSON, with the reveal of richard’s incredibly advanced scoliosis. richard was paraded, naked, on horseback, and then publicly displayed and decried as a monster to the public because of his appearance. THAT was henry tudor’s greatest weapon of propaganda. and it had to be, because his claim to the throne was noticeably weaker than richard’s and everyone knew it. no one wanted a cripple for a king, and then shakespeare came along and cemented that years later. the two things people still think they “know” about richard III came to us directly from his political enemies. that he was a nasty old hunchback, and that he imprisoned (and worse, apparently) his own nephews. in actuality, he was in his early 30s when he died, no one knew about his scoliosis while he lived because he dressed to hide it very convincingly (despite likely being in incredible pain every day of his life) and the princes in the tower are more fiction than fact. I find it funny how no one talks about henry tudor and his successors having much stronger and more valid motivations for getting those princes out of the way. what do people think they would have done if they’d gotten their hands on those boys? henry would have buried them without a second thought lol. or do we reeaally believe that he just got rid of richard for altruistic reasons, and never would have touched a hair on the heads of the little york boys if *they* were on the throne at the time of his campaign. we do not know when/how they died. we probably never will. we DO know that if they lived longer than Richard, and their location had been known to the tudors, they’d have had the chance of a cinder in snow at survival. the end. 👍
Most historians do not believe he was married to Eleanor Butler. His marriage to Elizabeth Woodville was highly unusual, and unpopular. Why would Richard bring up the first wedding when Edward IV had been married to Elizabeth, for so many years.
It's crazy how the black death almost got Justinian, Constantinople was one of the worst affected places by the first outbreak of the black death, and the Emperor of the Romans got so sick he fell into a coma. Empress Theodora took charge and managed the crisis admirably, taking the very difficult decision to burn the dead on mass and dump the ashes in Bosphorus... However, miraculously, Justinian survived and would go on to make a full recovery.

Can we not use absolutes in describing the sexuality of Richard II? It's by no means known whether he was or not, and has been debated among scholars for years.
*Anne of Bohemia was actually the 1st cousin of Isabella of Valois' grandpa, Charles V (although Anne was much younger- around the age of Charles V's son, Charles VI- the Mad- Dad of Isabella of Valois).
Maybe it was a good thing Joan of England did not marry Peter of Castile because if we take into mind how horribly he treated his wife Blanche of Bourbon who was imprisoned and poisoned at age 22 it would have actually been a blessing in disguise
Margrete the I wasn’t Queen Regnant. She was named Regent until she could produce an heir. At no point in her life was she recognized as the monarch, despite being the actual power behind the throne.
@@lilacgirl-z8w yes. But she adopted her sister’s grandson, Bugislaw of Pomerania, who was renamed to Erik and was named the new King of Denmark-Norway, and later the King of the Kalmar Union. He was however not the King Margrete had hoped him to be and after she died, everything started to fall apart. And when it got to tough, he fled to the Mediterranean and became a pirate. It’s from him the Danish saying “Det går ad Pommern til” derives from. “Pommern” being the Danish name for Pomerania, and the saying is for how really, really bad a situation can be. He had no children. The throne was passed to his cousin, Christoffer of Bavaria, but he too didn’t have children. Instead it passed to a descendant of King Erik the V of Denmark, Christian the I, who in 1448 created the Oldenburg dynasty that would rule Denmark until 1863 after which the male line died out, Norway until 1814 when Denmark was forced to give up Norway, and Sweden until 1520, because King Christian the II instigated the Bloodbath of Stockholm, which was the final nail in the coffin that was the Kalmar Union. Christian the II was forced off the throne in 1523 and was replaced by his uncle, King Frederik the I, whom, even though after 1863 a new dynasty came to be in Denmark and later Norway, the Danish and Norwegian royal families are direct descendants of.

Navarre is on the Iberian Peninsula not in France - it always has been on the Iberian peninsula on the other side of the Pyrenees as far back as the 10th century.
@@RavenIdril2966 It’s an autonomous region. Navarre and a couple others kind of like being “independent,” but it seems so confusing. Kind of like states in US. But Castille-Leon, Greater Madrid, and Andalusia seem like “yeah, we’re real Spain.” It’s odd. I saw a lot of graffiti in Navarre and LaRioja about hating the king on the Camino de Santiago. Whereas, a lot of people know that the Camino is what pays the bills. Again, it’s weird. I was also in Barcelona when they were protesting tourists. I know that’s more than you asked, but I found it interesting how the changes could be seen along the Camino route.
I think the Anglo-Portuguese alliance still exists? British ships took the Portuguese royal family to Brazil when Napoleon came calling, and during WWII they quietly let the British navy use their islands.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things could you make a video of kings, sulrans/Caliph's and emperor's with the most kids as ottoman sultan Murad 4th for example had 32 kids when he passed away at age of 27
If I were Katherine Swynford, I'd be pretty mad at John. He idolized his first wife and held memorials for her even when he was remarried, and exclusively buried himself with Blanche. It feels like a strange posthumous adultery.
The funny thing is that Katherine knew Blanche as she was governess to Blanche's children- they loved Katherine even when she was being hated for being John's mistress and wife- and adored Blanche as a dear friend besides being her mistress, no pun intended. So she would've also done the memorials with John even while she was his mistress and as his wife. Though maybe she still would've been a little hurt that John got buried with Blanche but at least she knew that John loved her as much as he had loved Blanche.
@Mirandaconklin I heard that John stayed faithful to Blanche all their marriage and that it was while he was married to his second wife, Constance of Castile, that he made Katherine his lover. John also knew Katherine ever since she was a child because she was a lady in his mother's household but only made her his mistress when she was widowed from her husband and an adult.
We need one with smallpox too! Justice for Mary II! Also, didn’t Edmund Tudor, duke of Somerset (youngest son of Henry VII and Liz of York and Charles, duke of Orleans (youngest son of Francis I) also die of the plague?
Richard was not unpopular, and his only Parliament invested in such items as a) ending benevolences b) protecting land purchase rights c) reforming the justice system d) preventing commercial dishonesty in the cloth trade e) protecting the English merchant f) preventing fraudulent collection practices Please, in future presentations that involve controversial people, please be careful to present more than one side, if there is one that that has gained legitimate traction, such as has been done with Richard. It's only fair, and will give your own channel more credibility.
I'm so sorry but all the depiction of death in the paintings like this 24:58 looks so funny to me. They're like "Tbh idek if you're the right person or not but...uhhh....you're coming with me anyway I guess"
I know there are thousands if not way more of us direct descendants of these crazy royals. Growing up I never knew my ancestry like I do now and I’m just amazed at how many iconic and crazy royals or other major players in their courts. Too many were beheaded in England and hung in Salem at the Witch Trials. Thank you for doing these videos they are fascinating
We take in domestic rescue rats, but we just adopted an orphaned baby black rat (Rattus rattus), and he's absolutely adorable - surprisingly soft too! Observing him do lightning zoomies and climb like a pro, really made me appreciate how easily black rats would've moved through thatched roofs and granaries in mediaeval times, easily spreading fleas and diseases. His ears are like little radar dishes too, and his eyes are bigger than the domestic types (Rattus norvegicus - brown rats), making him impossible for most predators to catch. Also, despite being flighty, he's already adapted well to a domestic setting, and he's very affectionate and trusting with me. So a perfect combination for spreading Yersinia pestis 😅 We live in Australia btw so he doesn't have plague or rabies before people freak out lol

How many dynasties were damaged by the bubonic plague.
It seems you forgot to mention that Elizabeth Woodville possibly died from the plague! In 2019 a letter was found suggesting that it did indeed happen. Although it is not 100% certain, the way her funeral was carried out hastily and quietly does support the fact
And her grandfather, Peter I, Count of St. Pol also died from the plague.

The amount of kings this woman has seen crowned in her life.
And she saw not only her own child but also her grandson be crowned king.
They were raped, but that was the norm. Girls who got their periods/menstrual cycles were classified as adults, and forced to marry elder men
Sadly it was quite normal. Girls were married off from the age of 12, if they were older than 16 they were deemed ‘old’😡
And so many died in childbirth.
I would have hid in a monastery, that's for sure.

I can’t help but to think that his physical disability is a factor. it was very very easy for henry tudor to discredit richard, not just as a king but as a PERSON, with the reveal of richard’s incredibly advanced scoliosis. richard was paraded, naked, on horseback, and then publicly displayed and decried as a monster to the public because of his appearance. THAT was henry tudor’s greatest weapon of propaganda. and it had to be, because his claim to the throne was noticeably weaker than richard’s and everyone knew it. no one wanted a cripple for a king, and then shakespeare came along and cemented that years later. the two things people still think they “know” about richard III came to us directly from his political enemies. that he was a nasty old hunchback, and that he imprisoned (and worse, apparently) his own nephews. in actuality, he was in his early 30s when he died, no one knew about his scoliosis while he lived because he dressed to hide it very convincingly (despite likely being in incredible pain every day of his life) and the princes in the tower are more fiction than fact.
I find it funny how no one talks about henry tudor and his successors having much stronger and more valid motivations for getting those princes out of the way. what do people think they would have done if they’d gotten their hands on those boys? henry would have buried them without a second thought lol. or do we reeaally believe that he just got rid of richard for altruistic reasons, and never would have touched a hair on the heads of the little york boys if *they* were on the throne at the time of his campaign.
we do not know when/how they died. we probably never will. we DO know that if they lived longer than Richard, and their location had been known to the tudors, they’d have had the chance of a cinder in snow at survival.
the end. 👍
Most historians do not believe he was married to Eleanor Butler. His marriage to Elizabeth Woodville was highly unusual, and unpopular. Why would Richard bring up the first wedding when Edward IV had been married to Elizabeth, for so many years.
It's crazy how the black death almost got Justinian, Constantinople was one of the worst affected places by the first outbreak of the black death, and the Emperor of the Romans got so sick he fell into a coma. Empress Theodora took charge and managed the crisis admirably, taking the very difficult decision to burn the dead on mass and dump the ashes in Bosphorus...
However, miraculously, Justinian survived and would go on to make a full recovery.
Excellent video, loved hearing this topic a lot, very different from the usual topics, so much more interesting, for me. 😊
I wonder what the history books will say in 100 years about COVID-19. what a horrible 4 years it's been.
Bubonic or Spanish Influenza makes covid small.
Still I’d MUCH rather be

This is a very nice video history tea time Lindsay 😊🎉
Where did the bubonic originated from?

Can we not use absolutes in describing the sexuality of Richard II? It's by no means known whether he was or not, and has been debated among scholars for years.
I agree with you.

Not for me.
*Anne of Bohemia was actually the 1st cousin of Isabella of Valois' grandpa, Charles V (although Anne was much younger- around the age of Charles V's son, Charles VI- the Mad- Dad of Isabella of Valois).
Anne of Bohemia is someone I wonder who she would have been if she outlived her husband?
@user-fg9xz4bz3b that's something to hypothesize.
Maybe it was a good thing Joan of England did not marry Peter of Castile because if we take into mind how horribly he treated his wife Blanche of Bourbon who was imprisoned and poisoned at age 22 it would have actually been a blessing in disguise
Margrete the I wasn’t Queen Regnant. She was named Regent until she could produce an heir. At no point in her life was she recognized as the monarch, despite being the actual power behind the throne.
That was a woman boss!
She did have a child but died before puberty and she chose to not remarry.
@@lilacgirl-z8w yes. But she adopted her sister’s grandson, Bugislaw of Pomerania, who was renamed to Erik and was named the new King of Denmark-Norway, and later the King of the Kalmar Union. He was however not the King Margrete had hoped him to be and after she died, everything started to fall apart. And when it got to tough, he fled to the Mediterranean and became a pirate. It’s from him the Danish saying “Det går ad Pommern til” derives from. “Pommern” being the Danish name for Pomerania, and the saying is for how really, really bad a situation can be.
He had no children. The throne was passed to his cousin, Christoffer of Bavaria, but he too didn’t have children. Instead it passed to a descendant of King Erik the V of Denmark, Christian the I, who in 1448 created the Oldenburg dynasty that would rule Denmark until 1863 after which the male line died out, Norway until 1814 when Denmark was forced to give up Norway, and Sweden until 1520, because King Christian the II instigated the Bloodbath of Stockholm, which was the final nail in the coffin that was the Kalmar Union. Christian the II was forced off the throne in 1523 and was replaced by his uncle, King Frederik the I, whom, even though after 1863 a new dynasty came to be in Denmark and later Norway, the Danish and Norwegian royal families are direct descendants of.
WE LITERALLY JUST ABOUT THIS IN WORLD HISTORY CLASS TODAY!!!!

Navarre is on the Iberian Peninsula not in France - it always has been on the Iberian peninsula on the other side of the Pyrenees as far back as the 10th century.
Is Navarre considering getting back their sovereignty?
@@RavenIdril2966 It’s an autonomous region. Navarre and a couple others kind of like being “independent,” but it seems so confusing. Kind of like states in US. But Castille-Leon, Greater Madrid, and Andalusia seem like “yeah, we’re real Spain.” It’s odd. I saw a lot of graffiti in Navarre and LaRioja about hating the king on the Camino de Santiago. Whereas, a lot of people know that the Camino is what pays the bills. Again, it’s weird. I was also in Barcelona when they were protesting tourists. I know that’s more than you asked, but I found it interesting how the changes could be seen along the Camino route.
I think the Anglo-Portuguese alliance still exists? British ships took the Portuguese royal family to Brazil when Napoleon came calling, and during WWII they quietly let the British navy use their islands.

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things could you make a video of kings, sulrans/Caliph's and emperor's with the most kids as ottoman sultan Murad 4th for example had 32 kids when he passed away at age of 27

Well, that priest *had* married Edward to someone else before Edward met Elizabeth ... he ended up becoming a bishop.
Sounds fishy too me.
Yes, it was Stillington Bishop of Bath and Wells.
If I were Katherine Swynford, I'd be pretty mad at John. He idolized his first wife and held memorials for her even when he was remarried, and exclusively buried himself with Blanche. It feels like a strange posthumous adultery.
She was a mistress first so I side with Blanche.
John cheated on his wife so she was taken from him.
The funny thing is that Katherine knew Blanche as she was governess to Blanche's children- they loved Katherine even when she was being hated for being John's mistress and wife- and adored Blanche as a dear friend besides being her mistress, no pun intended. So she would've also done the memorials with John even while she was his mistress and as his wife. Though maybe she still would've been a little hurt that John got buried with Blanche but at least she knew that John loved her as much as he had loved Blanche.
Uhhhh imagine how Blanche felt when he was having an affair with Kathrine, Kathrine is not the victim here
@Mirandaconklin I heard that John stayed faithful to Blanche all their marriage and that it was while he was married to his second wife, Constance of Castile, that he made Katherine his lover. John also knew Katherine ever since she was a child because she was a lady in his mother's household but only made her his mistress when she was widowed from her husband and an adult.

We need one with smallpox too! Justice for Mary II! Also, didn’t Edmund Tudor, duke of Somerset (youngest son of Henry VII and Liz of York and Charles, duke of Orleans (youngest son of Francis I) also die of the plague?
And Manuel I of Portugal too, I think?
Very brilliant idea.
Ooh yes! Didn't one or two of Marie Antoinette 's sisters die from smallpox?
Marie Antoinette did in fact lose 2 sisters to smallpox after being betrothed to the same guy.
Richard was not unpopular, and his only Parliament invested in such items as
a) ending benevolences
b) protecting land purchase rights
c) reforming the justice system
d) preventing commercial dishonesty in the cloth trade
e) protecting the English merchant
f) preventing fraudulent collection practices
Please, in future presentations that involve controversial people, please be careful to present more than one side, if there is one that that has gained legitimate traction, such as has been done with Richard. It's only fair, and will give your own channel more credibility.
Which Richard are you referring too?
I'm so sorry but all the depiction of death in the paintings like this 24:58 looks so funny to me. They're like "Tbh idek if you're the right person or not but...uhhh....you're coming with me anyway I guess"
I think it's kinda gothic.
I'm surprised to not seeing vampires.

Plague history is one of my special interests so I could not have watched this video faster
Did the plague save europe from the Mongols?
This vlog has piqued my interest.
I know there are thousands if not way more of us direct descendants of these crazy royals. Growing up I never knew my ancestry like I do now and I’m just amazed at how many iconic and crazy royals or other major players in their courts. Too many were beheaded in England and hung in Salem at the Witch Trials. Thank you for doing these videos they are fascinating
Wow! They still ring the bell twice a day for a Queen that died almost 800 years ago? 😮
I would so much watch a movie about her.
I find her fascinating.
We take in domestic rescue rats, but we just adopted an orphaned baby black rat (Rattus rattus), and he's absolutely adorable - surprisingly soft too!
Observing him do lightning zoomies and climb like a pro, really made me appreciate how easily black rats would've moved through thatched roofs and granaries in mediaeval times, easily spreading fleas and diseases.
His ears are like little radar dishes too, and his eyes are bigger than the domestic types (Rattus norvegicus - brown rats), making him impossible for most predators to catch.
Also, despite being flighty, he's already adapted well to a domestic setting, and he's very affectionate and trusting with me. So a perfect combination for spreading Yersinia pestis 😅
We live in Australia btw so he doesn't have plague or rabies before people freak out lol
