"Elisabeth of Peace" seems such a sympathetic figure, just like her portrayal in Verdi's superb Opera Don Carlos. However, unlike the opera's plot, there appears to have been a genuine love and regard between Elisabeth and Philip, not always guaranteed in political matches. Thank you for the lovely and informative video, as always.
Thank you for watching Graham !
It's good to hear about a prosperous royal marriage. But it's painful she died so young. May her soul rest in peace. Royal girls had really tough lives, so much pressure to have male heirs. Thanks for sharing about her.
Glad you liked it Ambreen !
Henri II of France and Catherine de Medici had five daughters: Elisabeth (1545-68), Claude (1547-75), Marguerite (1553-1615) and twin daughters Jeanne and Victoire who died at birth in 1556. Elisabeth was the eldest daughter. Thanks just the same for your documentaries which are amped interesting and generally well-researched.
Thanks for watching and clarifying Albert !
Elizabeth had a traumatic childhood witnessing her father’s death. So sad she watched her mother suffer due to Henri II’s infidelity. Excellent video! Merci 🌸♥️!
Thank you so much as always Christine ! 🌻
So often foreign princesses in marriage alliances are despised by the people of the country into which they are married. It's nice to learn of at least one where the foreign queen was loved by her adopted country.
Thanks for watching !
Well that’s kinda logical, marriage contracts are usually made with rival nations, usually ones that have recently been or are currently at war. If President Harry Truman had married a sister or daughter of Hitler in 1947, how many Americans would have welcomed her? These women were the princesses of nations that many common folk had recently lost loved ones fighting, obviously it’s not their fault but if your father had been killed fighting the French would you be happy with a French ruler?
I love these videos. I watch certain ones over and over again. Thank you.
Thank you so much, I am honoured !
I genuinely can’t get over a 30+ year old man marrying and consummating a marriage to a fourteen year old.
I know it’s a different time, but damn. It just creeps me out.
Quite understandable. It really makes my skin crawl as well. But history happened as it did and I narrate it as is, whether or not I agree with what happened...
Yea 😨🤢
Very interesting to hear that Elisabet of Valois was so happy with Philip II of Spain! Mary I and Philip II had not so good luck. It was so sad that Elisabet died so young, 23 years old. But she was mourned by her husband which I thought was very nice. Thank you for telling about her life! 😊❤️
Glad you liked it Maarit !
I like this channel because in the Anglosphere, we rarely get any French history. I bought one “complete history of France”, but in the first sentence it dismissed all French history before the Revolution, of which I’ve learned enough already. I returned that crappy book, with its misleading title. There’s a lot more to French history than the last 200 years and I’m no interested in modern history, I already know what it’s like to live now!
Good for you and I strongly agree with your sentiment! If it wasn't for the history of the french prior to the revolution,there would be no France! For post revolution likes to think of themselves as french history.When in fact,they destroyed much of Frances history in the purges of the revolution! My ancestors were the ones who built France and unlike the revolutionarys who destroyed a once great country and it's history.To think what France would be today if not for the revolution.Those nori le and great people still live in in my blood and can never be destroyed,although they tried,not all was destroyed or loss to the dust bin of history.🌞👑🛡️⚜️
I have the exact same disinterest in modern history! And I also define it as the last 200yrs, which confuses people- I say "modern" & they think 21st-c, & if I hear "historical" & find out it's Victorian or 20thc, I'm MASSIVELY disappointed. I would've thrown that rubbish book across the room! This channel's done amazingly well to get me enthused about "modern-ish" 18thc history, but I think it's also cos France is more interesting then- I'm less into British history after Charles II, & the Hanovers bore me to tears, but I'm trying to learn some NON-British European history at last, lol, & France, Spain & Portugal are really interesting. It was so nice to already know the people in this vid, & be able to fit some more info into the story. So yeah, it's great to find non-British European history in English!
@@jacquesrenou2850 Hey, I have distant royal ancestors too, but you can't say that to most people 🙄 I _know_ literally everyone alive has some; I just like knowing exactly _which_ royalty. It's an illegitimate (ofc!) son of James V of Scotland (so a half-brother of Mary Queen of Scots), so from France I have Catherine de Valois through the Tudors... And yeah, "starting" French history with the Revolution is inexcusable imo. You're gonna ignore _Louis XIV & Charlemagne??_
Thanks kimberly, glad you're enjoying the channel !
I recommend the writings of Alexander Dumas who wrote extensively on the courts of Spain, France, Italy, England and Portugal, he combined history in his many novels. I have read all his works.
Awww it's so nice to hear that she had a nice marriage, I enjoyed all the information and details in your video, you do an amazing work, thank you so much
Thank you so much for watching Ernesto !
You always show interesting and relevant artwork😄
Sometimes I cant really find anything so I have to improvise though, but I do try !
Thank you so much. Glad someone finally had a happy marriage!
Thanks Jane !
23! So young
Thanks for watching and commenting !
Thank you so much for this bio. Means so much to me. He really loved her and it is so sad and tragic that she died so young! I love your biographies. Thank you again. 🌞⚜
Always happy to see you Lily !
@@TheKingsofFrance Likewise my friend.
Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome, I hope you are well !
@@TheKingsofFrance Yup, sort of. How you doing in good old Belgium? Is it as hot and dry as in Bavaria?
Thanks for another interesting video, you do an excellent job of bringing history to life.
Thanks David, I appreciate it !
merci! as always wonderful work!
Thank you so much Hannah !
Elizabeth's first pregnancy in 1560 resulted in a stillborn son. It was her first child and after that she gave birth to 5 daughters, amongst which her 2nd pregnancy resulted in twins
As a native French speaker, could you clarify if the Th in French is pronounced as T or Th in names like Catherine, Elisabeth or Athenais and other words. When I learned French forty years ago in college (mostly forgotten through disuse), our native-French instructor said it was just as T, as in classical Latin. Has it changed since then, does it vary by region, or it is just pronounced Th for this English version of the video? Thank you, I would like to keep my French pronunciation up to a minimal standard. I try to pronounce things correctly, especially in those languages that I have studied, I don’t have any excuse not to. These videos are in excellently written and spoken English, by the way! Great job introducing us ignorant Americans to the amazing history of France. Our school curricula only include US and State history, for the US State where we are taught, but European history has been a lifelong interest for me because my all known ancestors were European, my father is first-generation American, and my other family wasn’t here much longer, either.🙂
To backup A. Walton, I was taught by my French teacher, Madame McIntosh, the letter T is pronounced as T.
Glad to see your question was already answered. I have to tell you that I am not French though, but Flemish. I speak Flemish (which is a form of Dutch), although I do speak french as well.
@@TheKingsofFrance Wonderbaarlijk, ik dacht dat je van Wallonië was. Je hebt een duidelijk Frans accent in je Engels.
Another Wounderful video presentation,Merci Madame ⚜️🌞💙👑
merci à toi Jacques !
Getting married at age 12-14 was very common in Nepalese Kings as well till 19th century.
They would have at least 1 child by 15
Thanks for sharing that information with us !
Your voice is very relaxing. I would love if you "mashed up" several videos to be one longer video. It would be great to fall asleep to. You are very interesting, just have a soothing voice.
I'm not sure if it'll help you out, but you might want to try and play one or two of the playlists I offer ... they provide you with continuous content to watch ...
Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Your history videos are always enjoyable. Could you do Michel de Nostradamus next time 😀
I have already done him ! you can find his video on this link : th-cam.com/video/_8Sh3gEHRwk/w-d-xo.html
Phillippe II's first son was Infante Don Carlos his mother was Maria Manuela princess of Portugal and he was crazy because of the inbreeding he tried to stab and kill his uncle Don Juan of Austria but it failed
Thanks so much once again for commenting and being here always, I really appreciate it !!!
@@TheKingsofFrance a great pleasure for me
Sorry, but the man Don Carlos tried to stab was his uncle, Don Juan de Austria, not the Duke of Alba. Don Carlos, who was very close to his uncle, had told him he planned to flee Spain, probably to finally marry the daughter of Emperor Maximilian II (that marriage had been indefinitely postponed by his father) and gain supporters against his father, but Don Juan was against this and the prince reacted in a violent way.
@@limecilla7612 thanks for clarifying this for me
I love watching these :) very interesting!!
Thanks Callie, so glad you're enjoying the videos !
I wonder; what would Mary Tudor think of Elizabeth of Valois.
A dutiful Catholic queen so I’m sure Mary would have been pro if she’d been alive to judge.
@@FishBoneD14 Mary would be jealous.
If Mary had lived obviously there wouldn't have been a marriage, so the question's difficult to answer imo...
Elizabeth 1 was actually getting a lot of proposals around this time
Well if she had to marry a man old enough to be her Dad, at least Philip II was a handsome older man and he wasn't as unhinged like his son- her first fiance- Carlos...
Thanks for watching and commenting Jamell !
Philip was happy to marry someone he actually care enough. Also, hypothetical, if Mary had met Elizabeth of valois. She would be jealous. And if Edward hasn't died so young and married Elizabeth of valois. Who would be Philip wife ?
Hi Kings of France! I love ur channel. I never miss any of your videos.
I am curious to know some things about you:
What queen/king do you like most or feel most identified by? And what of them do you hate most?
Would you have liked to be a princess just like Elizabeth of Valois or Marie-Antoinette?
Would you have liked to live in Versailles?
Would you have become friends with any of the monarchs you've shown in your videos?
Thanks in Advance see you in your next video
Here goes: I most like Maria Leszczyńska, as she was drama free and kind. The one I 'hate' the most ... I hate none, but I do dislike Henri III. As a child I dreamt of being a princess but quite frankly, there lives were not to be envied. And as much as I love visiting Versailles, no... I wouldn't have wanted to live there as it was a cage for nobility. The nobles I'd have liked to be friends with are without a doubt the Duc De Saint-Simon and Elisabeth of the Palatinate...
@@TheKingsofFrance Not to mention the arranged marriages that often ended in unhappiness (especially for women)
Love your videos! I learn so much. What is your national origin?
I'm Belgian (Flemish). Thank you so much for watching and commenting Stephano !
Another tragic life of a royal.
Thanks for watching again Paul !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my god - 14 yr old & 33 yr old. 🙄🙄
Shockingly it was a norm back den.
@@Ootazfromda03 i know - so many royal marriage alliances were exactly the same🤮
@@Ootazfromda03 i know and it was disgusting 🤮
@@Ootazfromda03 Only for royalty & some of the nobility. For most people, girls were usually late teens-early 20s, like 18-24, & they had a lot more freedom to choose who to marry. Marriage was largely about inheritance, so the more a man had to inherit, the more desperate he was for a male heir asap, & a wife of suitable rank to give him that heir, & hopefully an inheritance from her father too.
I definitely have issues with it as well, but as stated, it was the norm back then...
damn, ok, just rub it in, i have done nothing with my life so far, shit.....
Haha ! Well, I dunno, maybe you're better off though ! Thanks for watching !
Her mother did not love her and her siblings that woman was so twisted by her bad marriage that she has no time for her children that was Catherine of Medicis
I have a video about the life of Catherine De' Medici coming up in a few weeks in cae you're interested.
Catherine did adore 1 of her sons. Her daughters were treated as political pawns and Marguerite’s memoirs are fascinating, she was very afraid of Catherine
.
😀
These women were objects. Good grief! Ewww 13? Thanks Mom and Dad. 😂
