The Stuart Queens & Consorts of England 6/8

- The Stuart Queens and consorts of England and later Great Britain indulged in art, theater and culture. One lost her crown when her husband lost his head. And most had to look the other way while their spouses carried on with their many lovers. The Stuart Queens consort and male consort were:
Anne of Denmark
Henrietta Maria of France
Catherine of Braganza
Mary of Modena
George of Denmark
Watch the whole series now: / lindsayholiday
The lives of the many Kings and handful of Queens Regnant who have held dominion over the kingdom of England, and later the United Kingdom take center stage in history. But the lives of their spouses and mothers are often relegated to the wings. In this series we will learn the stories of the many Queens Consort and the handful of male consorts who have been at the monarchs’ sides. Through love, hate, adultery and sometimes murder these women and men have played vital roles in the history of England.
I make mini documentaries about women's history and royal history:

Apparently ‘kissing in the Scottish fashion’ can also refer to getting head- butted, which is a really hilarious visual
It's called a Glasgow kiss and it's when you headbutt someone's nose🤣🤣
I’m having a shit day and this made it completely better, thank you ❤️
lol
@@LogBarc Glasgow sounds like such a friendly city what with the kisses and the smiles...

Lol
Pregnant for 17 times and lost almost all of her children. I couldn't even fathom the level of her depression and desperation. Hats off to her strength to stand right there and wear that heavy crown.
Even for the time when infant mortality was high, Anne was extremely unfortunate. One theory why she lost so many babies in the womb is that Anne was afflicted by Hughes syndrome, also known as 'sticky blood' - it's where the blood is overloaded with antibodies which overstimulate the immune system and causes extreme blood clotting. These clots prevent nutrient passing through the placenta to the unborn baby and it dies.
What's even sadder is that 'sticky blood' can be thinned with something as simple as an aspirin so the baby can thrive :(
Queen Anne kept rabbits scurrying around, to remind her of all the babies she'd lost. Poor woman.
Her strength was admirable! I feel both sad for her losses and amazed by her perseverance! What a woman! What a Queen!
If only Aspirin had existed...Queen Anne had some disease that made her blood thick as fuck..would've saved her kids
*fathom
That awkward moment when your dad introduces his new wife to you as a "new play-fellow" because she's only a few years older than you 😬
No doubt King Henry VIII said the same thing to Mary and Elizabeth about Katherine Howard (who “fun” fact was several years YOUNGER than Mary)
OH, My God that's when you want to run away from home.
@@gennybaratta2460 Wonder how Princess Mary really felt about Henry's new Queen??? Haven't so far read anything about the 2 of them.
@@conniecarroll7222 Mary was known for hating Catherine Howard, despite the fact that Catherine was Catholic.
@@midnight_rose2337 I knew that, but we don't have much information at least that I have read which is what I stated about why they hated each other.
I bought a book on Catherine and it didn't give me any clues at all into their relationship other than they didn't get along which Catherine didn't help by taking one of Mary's ladys in waiting away from her as she had threatened to do. This was done even after Mary had sent a beautiful gift to Catherine which King Henry approved of, but Mary would never make a appearance in court where Catherine was. That could have started it but the book makes no claims.
Henry VIII: My wife only gave me a daughter, get rid of her!
Charles II: My wife hasn’t given me a single living child, I’d rather keep her.
It’s actually even worse than that. Catherine of Aragon bore him a son first but he only lived 52 days. Then she bore him Mary. She also had several still births and miscarriages. She was pregnant at least 5 times. When she entered menopause is when he divorced her.
Let's face it: fictional drama doesn't stand a chance against real life drama 😂
Wdym
I feel so bad that most of them experienced miscarriages or lost their children in infancy. Especially Queen Anne and her husband George lost so many children.
It is really sad. I read something somewhere that a lot of the problem with unending pregnancies back them was iron deficiency. Each child saps some, and between that and menses it’s a recipe for disaster. Each child gets less and less, and poor mom just doesn’t have any more to give, and dies. I can’t vouch for this, but it does make sense. To have 11-16 children and not have any or very few survive?🥺
And it's not like they didn't have access to the best doctors, food, housing and medicine of the day, but it was impossible to avoid all these fatal maladies. It would be hard to decide if it was better to keep your kids close or send them to be raised in an isolated place to ensure good health.
I sometimes wonder if alot of these women were RH- that would account for the frequent miscarriages as well.
Kara, Very possible. Especially with the close blood ties. I’ve heard of Henry VIII and a possible link to Kells, but that’s a kissing cousin, is it not?
I couldn't imagine the pain of having 17 children and all of them die
Damn, all of these are really depressing;
- Anne of Denmark was refused to see her children and had a husband who didn't care at all about her.
- Henrietta Maria was despised in England and her husband was executed.
- Catherine of Braganza desperately wanted children but couldn't have them and meanwhile her husband fathered over a dozen children with his mistresses.
- Mary of Modena was a child bride who wasted all her money trying to help her son succeed the throne.
- Prince George lost all of his children and gained a horrible and undeserved historical reputation.
Mary of Modena was a TEEN bride but as far as I’m aware there’s basically no such thing as a teenager back in the 17th century so whatever I guess
@@noorbohamad5796teenagers are, by definition, children. At the time of their first marriage ceremony she was 14, considered a child even by the standards of the time. He even introduced her to his daughters as a new play-mate
@@emilybarclay8831
The video says she was 15.
And 15 was not considered a child at the time, girls could marry at 12 and boys at 14. Even today, in nearly all countries, you can get married when you are 15, though many require parental permission or excepting circumstances.
I would guess that James II (of England) introduced her as a playmate because she was close in age to his daughters, and she was so much younger than him.
@@graceneilitz7661 The video is wrong, since she she turned 15 6 days after her wedding.
Marriage at 12 was legal, but basically unheard of. And even when it did happen, it was considered highly inappropriate for the bride to live with her husband until she was 15 or 16. They knew young mothers died more often. Most royal marriages were not consummated until the bride was 16 or 17. He introduced her to his 11 and 8 year old daughters as a playmate. He clearly recognised that she was a child. She was not introduced as a step mother and an authority figure, but as a fellow child they could play with.
@@emilybarclay8831
Less than a week is barely anything, she was pretty much 15 at the time of her wedding. Arguing that she wasn’t is just semantics.
Girls were considered old enough to live with their husbands at 12, but it is true that the marriages were often consummated when the girl was 15,16, or 17.
Of course James II didn’t present his second wife as an authority figure, I just think it was because she was close in age to them, rather than he saw her as a child. He was also being realistic in how they might see her, as she was nowhere near old enough to have been their mother. That does not mean they wouldn’t have paid her proper respect as their father’s wife and stepmother.
Dang. There was so many still births and miscarriages! I can't even imagine. I lost 2 of my 5 and that was enough for me shy away from having anymore. Lord bless those tough women.
@@kawaiipotato7775 yes. My last miscarriage was 15 yrs ago. Thank you.
Yes these poor women were expected to keep having royal children. They were chiefly baby makers. I'm glad you're doing better now.❤
Yes. I can't imagine losing even one baby. Any lady who suffered a pregnancy loss has my undying sympathy, respect and admiration! ❤
I know... I lost 1 of my 8 & I still hurt 13 years later... But I know I will see my daughter again one day...
@@PrincessQ-fj9ly thank you... I have good & bad days even 13 years later...
I feel so sorry for all of the women putting up with with all these men and especially the loss of their children....so sad indeed 😔😢
@Queen Anne we could say those were different times but let's face it....it's still happening today in this era....just so sad 😥 😢😔
Very much
@samantha ssmith rape, death, marrying men many years your senior, experiencing dreadful misogyny, is in no way comparable to a king marrying as you call an "uninteresting" woman (a lot of the times girls). That doesn't give them the excuse to treat their wives like utter trash. Plus you could say the same for the women; they had to marry uninteresting men.
The women went through it!
@@a.m4520 true
When you realise that Charles I and Henrietta Maria are the English version of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette
Except that Henrietta Maria died of natural causes 20 years after her husband's execution.
Oui :(
Ooff!!! Good point, except they both didn't die... Only 1 did...
Their disastrous combination is more like Nicholas II and Alexandra.
@@kawaiipotato7775 well.....
Not gonna lie, Henrietta Maria sounds like a badass
Stopping to rescue your dog in the middle of a naval battle definitely gets you that qualification in my book.
OUI
She was; I’m writing a non-fiction history novel about her and each time I write about her, Henrietta interests me even more. Also, I would highly recommend the book The Winter King; although this book is about King Charles 1st, there is a lot of detail on Henrietta, especially with her conflict with the Duke of Buckingham. It’s a great read 🙂🦋✨
@@kawaiipotato7775 I’ll do my best to make your story very actuate; tbh, I really want to make it right and give it justice. I’m also doing a novel on Thomas Culpepper too but I’m definitely excited to see the final draft when it comes 🙂🦋✨
@@kawaiipotato7775 well yes but I’m generally including a love triangle with Henry VIII too but in Thomas’s point of view but yes I’ll definitely give it done justice too 🙂🦋✨
Wow i've always thought that Queen Anne and Prince George's relationship weren't really good, glad to hear that they actually got along!
How are you already at the end if the video?
@@LucieCornelia i love Queen Anne so I skipped to her part first😅 don't worry I rewatched the whole thing.
@@AbouttheCrown good, don’t spoil it yet because Im looking through comments first.
@@AbouttheCrown Oh okay. That makes sense😄
Hey there! :)
Poor George of Denmark. Even Ms. Holiday thinks he was so insignificant that she misnamed him twice (James and William).
British people don't.
Well - none of you get his name right anyway - it was Jørgen ........
He was not insignificant - he seemed like a very nice man, who loved his wife and queen.
He had asthma - which deprives anyone of energy.
If you can't breath - you can't do hardly anything.
And no treatment in those days.
LOL
George, Queen Anne's consort sounds like a completely secure guy, not interested in macho posturing.
The true Kawaii Koto!!!
He loved his wife and queen, it seems - comforting her and grieving with her for their 17 dead children. Hard to imagine how that must feel.
Outrageous to mock his asthma, which would definitely deprive him of energy.
If you can't breathe - you can't do very much.
It’s great to see my descendants ruling two great nations after my cousin had me beheaded!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Queen Elizabeth got you good 😂
Ireland, what are we? Chopped Liver?
Don’t forget the executioner who snatched ur wig👩🏻🦲
@@hafiezhassenmohamed5916 AS I DID. 💀💀
I really want a video about the Mistresses of Charles II.
That would be more than hours long video lol
There’s a movie on TH-cam called Forever Amber , it’s based upon a book about King Charles ll and one of his mistresses . It’s a fantastic movie
Also it’s a free movie
@@therealhousewifeofballtown but Lindsey always makes really good videos and apart from some jarring mispronunciations of ceetain British places she always explains things well.
Better to read about them.
I love just scrolling through the comments and seeing the royal drama
Same. I started watching the video 40 minutes ago but finished now because I paused several times to read all the comments
Good one lol
Yeah
It's the royal drama for me
what a fascinating hobby
Poor George, he was called the wrong name not once but twice in this video
The people were fond of Prince George .... Americans have no links to him.
@@shellc6743 This American knows him. Being American is no excuse to not get the history they study right. The lazy mistakes I see in historical fiction … whew.
My dears - NONE of you get his right name - which is JØRGEN.........
@@Maridun50 Most British and North American laptops, phones etc do not come with Ø .... and he lived most of his adult life in the UK and was known as Prince George.... not JØRGEN.
@@shellc6743 Why don't you tell me something, I don't know .......!??
I just told YOU.
And apparently understanding humour is sometimes hard .........
I live in Maryland, didn't know it was a haven for persecuted Catholics! But now it makes much more sense that the very first cathedral ever built in the U.S. is located here in Baltimore.
Okay, but the dedication of the royal accounts in the comments. *Chefs kiss
Ikr
Makes ot more fun 😂👍👍👍
What exactly is an account??
Poor Queen Anne! Her story has always "torn at my heart strings," (as the saying goes) but I thought she had 18 pregnancies, not 17. I read a book about her, admittedly a long time ago, in which the author said that out of all Anne's children, only 2 of them lived past the age of 5. I can't remember their names but she had a boy and a girl who lived until they were around 8 years old. When these children were very young Queen Anne had an artist paint miniature portraits of them and - after they too died 😢 - she carried the little paintings around with her always, and when she died they were buried with her. Very sad.
The Stuarts were just wild as a whole. How about James II getting tossed out by his own kid? One of the worst father-daughter relationships EVER.
She had 17 pregnancies that resulted in miscarriage, stillbirth or death in infancy and then her only surviving son died at age 11; so 18 pregnancies in total. Her son died a horrible death as well, that had to have been so hard. It’s hard enough to miscarry or lose a baby in a cradle but to lose a child at 11 when you thought you may finally have an heir to go on after you must have been such a blow
There needs to be a costume drama of Anne's life, either a movie or a miniseries. I had no idea she was so interesting!
@Queen Anne Anne of Denmark, wife of James. They already made a ridiculous movie about the other Queen Anne.
@@avigayilb Yes. Agree there are so many interesting people. But they do make them so ridiculous. They try to make them for “modern sensibilities”. Why? Their REAL stories would be so much better. That’s how it WAS🤷♀️🤦♀️. I can watch made up stories anytime. Serious pet peeve.
@@mangot589 I agree. "The Favourite" was beyond ridic.
@@avigayilb oh lol duh sorry
@Queen Anne Really? Didn't people realize they may have used some historic license. I don't think that breed (pure white bunny rabbit) existed yet...I do have a feeling the Nobility and Courtesans raced their pet ducks....and owned pet ducks. Lol
Smallpox was such a terrifying scourge. It has changed the course of history so many times.
Anne certainly came into her own by the end.
Henrietta did not deserve all that hate. Glad her husband stuck by her and refused to give into pressure.

Wow! I’m so thankful that you talked about someone from my country, Lindsay. Thank you very much about Catherine of Braganza’s story.
So brutal that while Mary of Modena was ill people were already plotting to see which new wife should replace her.

@@evearcana2392 Relax. You both have committed a lot of war crimes. We get it.
Oh dear Lord! I can't imagine the pain of losing one child, much less 16! Wow!
I'm from Queens and now I know that it was Queen Catherine of Portugal who inspired it.
Aww bless her, I losted 3 babies myself, I no the pain she felt, god bless her.
“Intense Friendship” is the new historians will call them roommates
Honestly, George sounds like a pretty chill and good guy to have a beer with
I feel so bad about Queen Anne of Denmark
Miscarried her baby, her husband's cruelty like I feel her
I feel for Catherine of Braganza. Imagine seeing your husband have so many illegitimate children, but be unable to have any of your own. Though I feel for Anne too.
Wait, but I thought Anne and her husband had a good relationship.
@@SungSNam The cruelty was against their son.
George beat him when he was sick.
@@Furienna ahhhhh, that’s mean.
@@SungSNam Appearantly, George simply had no idea that William's health was as bad as it was.
So he thought that some "discipline" would make his son toughen up and become stronger.
That was hardly the case though, and the poor prince William died when he was only eleven years old.
It is important though to remember that what George did would have been acceptable at the time.
But it sounds very wrong three centuries later.
I used to think lowly of George of Denmark, but now that I know him better, he was a good man. He didn’t seem to mind his wife’s lover and didn’t try to take power from her.
The lover part isn’t really a historical fact.

Hello Anne!
Let us click in unison!
Like a true portuguese, Catarina de Bragança loved to play cards
Ironically, George was a loving and supportive husband who let his Wife shine, Albert controlled and dominated Victoria under the guise of _love_
If that's what she said, that's not quite true of prince Albert, consort. That's a broad generalization of him.
That's not the way I understood it pkus she was the ruler not Albert. I would like to know your sources.
Another excellent video!
Some of this intrigue is so complicated, it gets hard to imagine what kind of family life they would have had.

It was an accident though
Henrietta Maria's story was so sad and emotional
I love Learning about royal history because of her😊
Im so glad I found your channel, all your content is absolutely wonderful.
Watching this as a big fan of "The Man Who Laughs" by Victor Hugo is quite interesting. The novel's main action takes place during the reign of Queen Anne, with the seeds of it planted during James II's rule, so all I could think of while listening to the actual history was the book's fictional plot going on in the background.
The novel follows the fate of Gwynplaine, who is the illegitimate son of Lord Linnaeus Clancharlie. Lord Clancharlie supported the Republic and the people's right to rule (the novel never actually says why; I personally see him as a dreamer ahead of his time, sensing the oncoming Enlightenment era) to the point where he refused to acknowledge Charles II's restoration to the throne and exiled himself to Switzerland instead. Gwynplaine was born just after James II took the throne and, to mock the memory of the now-dead Lord Clancharlie, James ordered for Gwynplaine's mouth to be cut into an eerily comical grin "to forever laugh at his foolish father".
Years later, when Anne is queen, Gwynplaine has grown up knowing nothing about his background and instead performs as a clown. He works alongside Dea, a blind girl, and the two are in love. But when Duchess Josiana, half-sister to the queen, attends one of the performances, she's immediately taken with Gwynplaine. To her, his disfigured face outwardly represents the inner loathing she feels for her life at court. Gwynplaine, in turn, is drawn to this mysterious noblewoman who can clearly see him and yet does not laugh at his face. Josiana sends Gwynplaine a letter inviting him to become her lover, but while he refuses her offer, he still gets caught in the web of court life when his aristocratic past is discovered and the nobles attempt to reinstate him to his father's titles under the assumption that he'll be an easily-controllable marionette. But Gwynplaine reveals in a speech in the House of Lords that the joke is on the aristocracy--he and Dea were raised by Ursus, a wise philosopher who taught them to see that "the paradise of the rich is made from the hell of the poor".
It's a fantastic book, my favorite of Hugo's--I'm even writing a play adaptation--and I highly recommend the novel.

Charles II had epilepsy? Had no idea! Horrible Histories portrayed him as such a party animal. So I assumed he died from cirrhosis.
Not epilepsy. Apoplexy. He had a stroke.
I think Charles and Catherine just became my favorite Royal couple.
Check out Charles II: The Power and Passion on Amazon Video. Rufus Sewell and Shirley Henderson play Charles and Catherine.
Thank you so much for sharing this most interesting and educational video! I learned so much today that I am so grateful to you! Thank you again! Well done indeed again!
I love that George did not care about power. I think he did very well by doing so, because I have the feeling parlement would have pushed against George gaining power.

You said King James and Annes oldest son, James died at 18, but I think you meant Henry :)
Is ist just me or has anyone else ever wondered, if the people shown in those paintings, actually looked like their portraits or if they were painted according to the style of art during this time. I wonder, because a lot of those royals, even though they came from different countries, have the same bulging eyes and big noses in those pictures and it leaves the question if they actually looked like their portraits or if the looks where changed according to the "painting fashion" of the time
There's a certain line in-between. On one hand, there definitely were popular styles in different periods (big eyes & lips were common embellishments). Artists also had their own distinct styles; Hans Holbein's portraits of Henry VIII are distinct from other portraits, even tho. they clearly depict the same man.
On the other hand, artists could not afford to take *too many* liberties; ppl. knew what they looked like, & if your 'portrait' looks nothing like you, its hard not to take that as a veiled insult. Plus, paintings were usually prepared to show prospective spouses what you looked like. They have to be somewhat accurate, or else the betrothal will far apart when the other person sees you look nothing like your portrait.
Artists had to work with what they had. Think of them like make-up; they could cover up certain blemishes, but not hide them completely. The portraits of both Henry V of England & Federico da Montefeltro, duke of Urbino, are shown from their 'good side.' Henry had a horrific injury on the other side of his face caused by an arrow-wound, while the bridge of Federico's nose had to be removed via surgery. The artist couldn't *ignore* these details, so they found a work-around instead.
Or the portrait of a slightly more obscure person, Joachim I Nestor, elector of Brandenburg. His portrait is certainly detailed, but he's still clearly a heavy-set, not exactly 'handsome' man.
Think of them like glamor-shots from fashion magazines. Do movie-stars *really* look like that? Yes, while they're wearing make-up, under studio-lighting, in ideal conditions. IRL they look similar, but without the same degree of idealization.
I personally think that the paintings, if you saw them in person, you’d recognize them. But I know what your saying, depending on when they were made, they have their own “style”. And agree with Jean, not everybody looks like the Venus de Milo, either. I think they can surprisingly honest.
Same...
@@kawaiipotato7775 *cough* Except some of the Spanish Hapsburg line...
@@jeandehuit5385 Thank you very much for your in-depth and very informative answer.
Another thing occured to me after I posted here. The fact that a lot of royal ppl were related even if they came from different countries, due to lots of interbreeding within numerous royal families.
Maybe that's another reason why so many of them look a lot alike or share some or a lot of facial trades
I love hearing about these past royals. Their lives seemed exhausting, emotionless, and confusing
Finally! we come to the royal portraits by great masters!
I noticed a small error but I'll correct here anyway in case anybody should be interested.
On 1 May 1707 the Scottish Parliament and the English Parliament united to form the Parliament of Great Britain. Hence the Act is referred to as the Union of the Parliaments. Wales did not have a parliament as they were considered territory of England and therefore were not part of this act, furthermore Wales isn't even represented on the Union Jack
While this was certainly the 'official line,' in practice the Scots Parliament was dissolved & its duties were taken on by the English Parliament, w/ a handful of Scots MPs sprinkled in to make the transfer-of-power seem legitimate.
Indeed, the Union was *very* unpopular among the commons of Scotland. Queen Anne only got the Act to pass by bribing impoverished Scots nobles to sell out their kingdom's sovereignty in exchange for their family's financial solvency. Riots broke out when the Acts were passed, & Church bells rang a song called "How can I be sad on my Wedding Day?" (essentially bemoaning Scotland's new 'marriage' to England).
Scotland only got its Parliament back in the year 1999. Granted, it was treated better by the English government than Ireland or any of the colonies were, but that's not saying much...
Yes, let’s give George more admiration starting by getting his name right.
Wow Wonderful History. Beautiful faces, colour dresses, all are wonderful. I like this video. Thank you so much sharing this video.

I’m directly related to Mary Stuart so it nice to learn a little bit more about my heritage and it’s nice to know how I got my looks. My family is related to some bad ass women
Now Charles II's Horrible Histories song just ringing in my head endlessly.... haha
Great series!!
Soon the Dislike button is going away according to TH-cam, well at least they're testing it out. I am completely in love with these series. Thank you for your hard work and sharing.
Everyone gets a trophy!, deserved or not. 😉. Aside from that, she does such a good job, eh? Very accessible. I especially love the work she puts in for illustrations. That’s real work, as most of the images are the same old same old. It’s one of my favorite sites, and one of the very very couple that I patreon.
@@mangot589 I totally agree with you. I also got to understand why medicine quickly took center stage, considering how these monarchs have lost babies and Queens. All very fascinating.
@@clantis It is!😀
Do a Mistress and bastards of Charles II next
NEW LINDSAY LET'S GOOOOO
22:56 & 26:45 it's hilarious and more or less a good representation of how most people think of him that you got george's name wrong
I would love to see a full video on Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia.
Hey Lindsay, I noticed a couple mistakes in this video
1. The image you used mainly for James II&VII is actually James the Old Pretender.
2. The Glorious Revolution refers to the overthrowing of James II&VII, not William and Mary’s reign.
3. The closest living Protestant relative of Anne was Sophia of the Palatinate, but she died 1 month before Anne, so George I became the next monarch.
This is not a hate comment Lindsay, I love your content, I just noticed a couple mistakes and wanted to correct them.
Wowww.
Cool to learn who Queens was named after, and the royal who made tea popular.
Nice series enjoy history
