14 children. I can’t get over it! They must’ve really liked each other.
I recently cam across the mini series "The White Queen". It tells the story of Jaquetta's daughter Elizabeth Woodville. In it the strength and family devotion shown by Jaquetta was at the forefront. Her careful guidance of her family into the royal atmosphere was a force to behold.
Oh thank you this one hit close to home cause 16 generations ago this woman started my lineage and im honored to say she's my 16th great grandmother and queen Elizabeth is my great great aunt two amazing intelligent strong women
Jon, your videos are such high quality. They put all others in this category to shame! The optics are fantastic. Your voice is superb. Thank you for all your work.
Thank you so much, really appreciated 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow What else can I say? They're topnotch! The best!
It means a lot thank you 😊
Ooohh Jacquetta of Luxembourg! Dowager Duchess of Bedford, Married hid squire, began a Dynasty, Her best and dearest friend Margaret of Anjou, her daughter marries "The Enemy" and becomes Queen in lieu of her BFF! It's like a Telenovela! I'm stunned her story is only recently being told because Out of all the 'mini plotlines' from the Cousin's War/War of the Roses apart from the disappearance of her grandsons and the rightful King from the Tower, Jacquetta's Story was unsung for ages. Lady Rivers. I ❤️ this video! Just *loved* it thank you for your hard work !
It's a pleasure, so pleased you enjoy the content 😊
As good as expected. Graphics and illustrations were phenomenal
Many thanks Bruce 😊
Fabulous!!!! Thank you again Jon...such unique and well produced videos...Love love these lesser known histories.....
Thank you for watching, much appreciated 😊
It's one thing to belong to a powerful family and another thing to know how to use that power. Jaquetta and her husband clearly had the intelligence needed to use that power for the benefit of the family. Thank you for telling her story.
Appreciate you watching Vishnu 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow jaquetta Woodville: duchess of lukezenburg and badass ambitious witch grandma in the book and TV series the white queen
Thanks for the story on Jaquetta of Luxembourg. She was a strong brave person regardless of how many lies were told about her she still came out on top
Looking forward to watching this ☺️
Thanks Jess, hope you're well and all OK 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow I’m fine thanks John thanks for asking ☺️ hope your ok take care x
All good here Jess
An amazing story. 'A book about her I've read does not do her the justice she receives today. People prefer stories like "The She-Wolves of France" and placing strong women as evil in some way. But her light shines through it all. She was all about family.
As usual, I absolutely loved it. Thank you, Jon, for making such amazing videos!
Thank you Elle, really glad you enjoy the content 😊
I genuinely do! :)
Loved it x
Thanks Rosie, long time no see 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow all good in the hood hope your well my nose is permanently in a book and miss you in Twitter xxxxxxx
Sorry I'm late Jon but I'm here! Thank you for making my day with more awesome History😂
Better late than never hey Cheryl, hope you're well, thanks 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow Thank you Jon! Progress is slow but I keep pushing forward and your encouragement helps tremendously!
Good news Cheryl, take it easy
Another great video.
Thank you 😊
Really enjoyed the video, as usual. I enjoyed them when it was just you in front of the camera as well. I kinda miss your face. ✌️💜
Thanks Pamela, you'll see the face again soon! 😊
She’s one of the most fascinating women in English history.
Thanks Liam 😊
I agree, Liam
Such an amazing woman. She had such amazing highs and amazing lows.
Restore the top of society yet her husband and her son were murdered. She was the mother of a queen that you was almost executed and yet she got through all this. He is quite the example of Grace Under Pressure
“Grace
Under
Pressure” 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well read and well paced, thank you. A good amount of information without cramming the video full and talking at full speed. Nice one!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Wonderful video. I like the strong women you have been featuring.
Thanks as always Jane 😊
Loving the new style of video Jon
Thank you Ali as always 😊
Another job well done! I love the videos you make of strong women.
Thanks as always Trish 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow 🙇🏻♀️🕊♥️👍🏽🙏🏽
I love learning new stuff. Great episode. Keep them coming.
Always appreciated Mary Ann, thanks 😊
Jacquetta! Thank you very much for the upload, Jon.
My pleasure Lisette 😊
Thank you, she was interesting, probably just maligned.
Thanks as always SuS 😊
I watch many of your videos and have since the beginning and thought I caught your uploads as they came out, but I didn't see this one and I'm currently on a Jaquetta Of Luxembourg kick too! The mermaid aspect intrigues me to no end. I somehow, believe it to be at least a possibility, due to the enigma behind her descendants and herself, as well.
Thank you for this. As always, beautiful storytelling❣️💫
Qué hermosa historia Jon!!!
Gracias por vernos Susana 😊
fun fact : Jacquetta Duchess of Bedford was a godmother to Edward of York ( the future King who would go on to marry her daughter)
Recently discovered she is my 18th great grandmother
For some reason their rise gives me an easy feeling, don't know why.
I know what you mean, because of any good you may have accomplished, you’re always having to look over your shoulder. Dangerous times.
I feel sympathetic for King Richard iii, although a controversial monarch ....
But I am a staunch Yorkist.❤❤❤❤
Brothers of King Edward iv were really fantastic and amazing 😍😍😍😍
The brothers always make for a great debate. Thanks 😊
@@HistoryRoadshow please can you make a video on king Richard iii with this type of graphics and presentation
The image of King Richard shown in this video is really fantastic 😍😍😍😍
I will be remaking some videos over the next year using this style. There is one on Richard III already in the listings. Thanks
