Hey Matt great video. I would love to see you do one on the Déby family who have ruled Chad’s political and military for over 40 years. The family has had infighting and the current president Mahamat Déby son of the previous president Idriss Déby had his cousin Yaya Dillo Djérou who was head of the opposition assassinated recently . But I think it would be interesting to see the family and how they’re involved in Chad’s political and military life

One important missing thing is that after the Spanish War of Succession, the Crown of Aragon was successfully annexed to the Crown of Castille (from 1492 to 1714 it was its own kingdom with its own laws etc).

Interesting video! I always enjoy these types of videos. Can you do one for the Georgian 🇬🇪 royal family (house of Bagrationi)? You've basically done a video for every royal family except for them and the Armenian 🇦🇲 monarchies. Edit: Just to be clear, I would like to see a separate video for each, one for the Georgian one, and a different video for the Armenian one.
13:53 you seem to have forgotten that Carlos I/V also inherited half of america (or part of it was conquered during his reign), which definitely made him the most powerful man, not in europe, but in the world.
@10:21 Correct me if I am wrong, but I seee the Crown of Castille and Kingdom of Aragon but wasn't the Kingdom of Aragon actually called the Crown of Aragon because of the holdings of Valencia and Barcelona?
True. Aragon was a kingdom which, at the same time, was part of the Crown of Aragon, a sort of confederation of the different holdings that the monarchs of the House of Barcelona and later the House of Trastamara inherited. Those states included, at various points in history, the Kingdom of Aragon, the County of Barcelona, the Kingdom of Valencia, the Kingdom of Mallorca, the Kingdom of Sicily, the Kingdom of Naples, the Duchies of Athens and Neopatras, and other holdings in southern France and in Murcia.
@@delarkaBCN Well, Castile didn't become super centralized until well into the 17th, but that is true, it's always been quite centralized as far as feudal realms go. after further research, I found that the Crown of Castile existed as an entity, too namely because of its possession of the crown of Navarre and the union between Leon and Castile.

Great video! Part of the reason Franco nominated Juan Carlos as his heir is not just due to pressure because he raised him in a sense, educated him and thought this would make him share franco's political views, it was not until after franco's death that it was made clear that he was not a fascist, and he helped created the spanish democracy. Also Isabella II's son Alfonso XII is not a male line descendent of the bourbons, as isabella cheated on her husband almost certainly! So in a technical sense the spanish monarchy are not bourbons

Fun fact: in 1808 when Napoleon was busy expanding his power across Europe, Charles IV sided with him but he was eventually ousted which left his son, Ferdinand VII to be the King of Spain. Napoleon was later suspicious of him and so he made his elder brother Joseph to be King in order to expand Napoleon's influence in the Iberian Peninsula, whilst doing so Napoleon grabbed Catalonia and he incorporated it into the First French Empire. Joseph I's reign was seen as illegitimate by the Spanish nobility so that is why he was never shown in this chart. And after Napoleon was defeated, so did Joseph's reign, Ferdinand VII was eventually restored as King of Spain. Another fun fact: When Isabella II was overthrown in 1868, the best candidate to succeed her was a man named Leopold from the House of Hohenzollern over in Prussia. He personally didn't want to be king but he was pressured by Otto von Bismarck to take it. The French Emperor Napoleon III feared that Leopold becoming king will revive the Spanish-German alliance from the 16th century and so he declared war on Prussia. So yeah, Isabella II's deposition resulted in the Franco-Prussian War which ended in 1871, with France losing the war and its territory of Alsace-Lorraine and Prussia turned into Germany after uniting with all the southern German-speaking states, excluding Austria. Napoleon III was deposed and France became a permanent republic, while Wilhelm I of Prussia became the German Emperor or the Kaiser.
Great video. I was able to confirm some of my branches on your videos. This genealogy thing is pretty incredible. Specially when you find out that you are related to some important figures in history. Very cool. Thanks 🙏🏽
I love your videos, but some inaccuracies appeared: i) you did not include the mother of Alfonso I of Portugal (because she was the "owner" of the County of Portugal, as a Leonese princess); ii) you showed Murcia as a part of the Kingdom of Aragon (first, Murcia belonged to the Crown of Castille, and you should have named it Crown of Aragon since it contains four different territories: Aragon, Catalonia/Barcelona, Valencia, and Mallorca); iii) the exile of Sephardic Jews is understood, at the legal level, as the cessation of the residence permit of those unbaptized inhabitants (Muslims were partially covered by the peace treaty with the last Moorish King). Finally, just a comment: the Navarrese line was completely forgotten, although it has a great history behind it, as descendants of El Cid, have been ruled by many female monarchs, and have been carved up by Spain and France.
Joanna remained Queen until her death in 1555. She and Charles were technically co-moarchs until her death. What is with the Kingdom of Navarre? Isn't it important enough to have it's own family tree on the chart?
i find the naming inconsistency annoying. why leave some original names such as Sancho and Fruella then change to translated versions such as John, Peter or Ferdinand instead of the original Juan, Pedro, Fernando?
I do have some questions about the layout of the chart. First, why doesn't Urraca have a crown in her box if she was referred to in the video as "Empress Urraca"? Second, why does Francisco Franco have his own colored box if he wasn't royalty? Sure, he was the undisputed leader of a Republican Spain in between periods of monarchy, but then why doesn't Oliver Cromwell have his own box in the English/British monarchy line? (It just says "Commonwealth of England (no monarch)".) Personally, I feel that Cromwell was more of a de facto monarch than Franco was, but that isn't to say that I believe Cromwell should have a colored box either.
calling the francoist regime "republican spain" and franco " a leader" is an insult to my family, who died fighting aginst him. have some decency and call fascists what they are
That map at 10:20 is amazingly wrong in many ways. Algarve (the surprisingly red space under Portugal) was actually part of Portugal by then. Heck, it never was part of Castilla even when while it had been part of the Taifa (petty kingdom) of Niebla whose eastern part Castilla had conquered, it had been only the Portuguese crown the one taking it for themselves (the whole 'being legal part of Niebla' was a brief excuse for Castilla to claim it, but that claim never went to anything, it was always Portuguese). Also the frontier of Aragon with Castilla is hilariously bad, insanely moved to the west. It should be HALF of that . Heck, Aragon never had a frontier with Granada!! I mean.. it's surprising that a channel like this that tends to do their research right h as such an insane and hilariously inaccurate map.
It is quite usual to see when historian outside of Navarre write about the conquest to see it explained as an annexation, it was not. Castille and Aragon laid siege to Pamplona and forced the queen Catherine of Foix and the king consort John of Albret to flee to the other side of the Pyrenees. The war lasted from 1512 to 1521 and it ended with Castille and Aragon conquering the southern part of Navarre, the part now in Spain leaving only as the kingdom of Navarre the Lower Navarre, today in France.
FUN FACT: Felipe VI is also a descendant of Empress Maria Theresa of the Holy Roman Empire, thus making him a distant relative to the current heir of the Hapsburg Empire.
I'm from Peru and since i was a kid a heard this well known song about some spanish queen and a claimant of the spanish throne who would be Charles V. I always wonder who those two were, so thanks! (18:47). Si la reina de España muriera, Carlos V quisiera reinar. ¡Correría la sangre española, como corren las olas del mar!
I've been watching a lot of this channel's videos recently, and around 6 episodes in, I realized that in these videos you do not state any of your sources, which made me question the reliability of these videos. I'd encourage you to state your sources in the description or somewhere to ensure that your videos are reliable.
14:45 erm no Charles the V was the most powerful man in Europe, dont start the ottoman nonsense, if you consider that charles V also controlled the low countries AND all the massive territories in the new world and all the resouces those brought, plus already starting to settle the phippines and all that trade with China. AND Charles V defeated the Ottomans at Lepanto. The Ottomans couldnt even take over Malta, which Charles also owned.
@@franbalcal it was his exhortation for the Christians of Europe to pray the Rosay. How else to explain the miraculous victory over the superior forces of the Ottoman Empire?
Could someone help me? I'm from Brazil but my last name is the same as that of a Spanish nobleman, and my family has Spanish origins, how could I make this connection?

I think I read that the Bourbon house in the 19th century actually had a Spanish monarch who was more inbread than Charles II, but had none of the problems that had plauged Charles II he was apparently healthy.
its pronounced as "iure yuxoris" and means "by the right/in the right of his wife" as in he was a king of England by virtue of being married to its ruling Queen, just as she was at the same time a queen regnant of England, and a queen consort of Spain due to being married to Spains King.
I'd love to see something on Navarre/Catalonia with how it developed from the Visigoths. That side of the Pyrenees is easier to get through and the territory was disputed to say the least.
Hate to burst Louis Alfonse's bubble but one of the conditions Phillip had to agree to after the War of Spanish Succession was to renounce his claim to the French throne of he and his descendants forever.
Hi, thank you so much for your work! Love the videos, watching from Germany 😊 I was about to order a couple, only to see that delivery as well as the tax on top are almost another charts worth.. do you have the option to purchase a digital download? I could buy and print it here and we both can save the planet simultaneously 😊
I dont remember in the French or English or Scottish or or Portuguese or Italian or German kingdoms vidoes of their family trees any mention of when they signed the laws to expel the jews from their kingdoms? or in the portugal and papal videos when they created their Inquisitions? its mentions like these which fuels the crazies in Spain who love to talk about the "black legend", about all the protestant propaganda to be Spain look bad.
It's because the expulsion of Jews from Spain was the largest of all such expulsions and it had a greater impact on history. It basically resulted in an entire branch of the Jewish people (the Sephardim) being moved back to the Middle East.
I understand this and its indeed a huge part of world history and should be included on any video about general Spanish History, but this is a video specifically about the Monarch's family tree. My point is that every time this is mentioned as a side note that isnt really about the the specific subject being discussed. It really feeds the far right in Spain. They believe there is a protestant led conspiracy to make Spain look bad. Which when the expulsions carried out by other countries are never or rarely brought up... its hard to argue against these far right spaniards. I can actually apply for Spanish citizenship because i have sephardic ancestry from jewish converts from precisely that time period. They have a law in Spain and Portugal where if you can prove you hace such ancestry you can apply for citizenship. @@UsefulCharts
Having learned all this in Spanish, it’s weird hearing it in English. I have a scholarly background in the Inquisition in Spain and the Spanish Inquisition (they are continuous, but two different things).
Would You guys make a video of the Moldavian, Walachian, Transilvanian Royal family tree and maybe of the unified Romanian if You guys feel like it ofc.
philip II was married to mary I of england, who happened to be his father's cousin on the maternal side. charles V was the son of joanna, whose sister catherine of aragon had mary with king henry VIII of england. Perhaps this link could be shown on the chart.
Really ignorant video. There was the Visigoth kingdom before that (~400-711AD) and before that it was part of the Roman Republic and Principate (210bc -~400AD) always part of Western Civilization with a common alphabet and strong regional characters. You rather include the Muslims that were just invaders and were kicked out. Really instructional.
Interesting how these Arab conquistadors conquered Spain the same way in the future Spanish conquistadors would conquer the Americas … namely taking advantage of internal upheaval amongst Visigoths and Aztec/Inca.
Another difference is that the Arab conquerors knew about it while spanish did not. The aztecs were not in a civil war when the spaniards arrived in the aztec empire.
@DiotimaMantinea-qm5ytThe aztecs was a combination of 3 tribes but we still don't know why and how it happened. Climate change is a possibility just like how the Mayas fell into a decline plus the aztecs rivalry enemy as the upcoming empire. 711-1492 there were A LOT of battles fought there including foreigners mercenaries getting involved there. The first crusader wars happened in the iberian peninsula.
@@Trancymind the Aztecs were fighting other Mexican city states, the Spanish supported the Aztecs enemies like the Talascans. Something similar happened in Iberia with the Arab Muslim conquest. How could the Visigoths fall so easily?
In your map of the western and eastern roman empire, I think the colors for the areas that was under roman control and the areas that weren't have their colors reversed. Shouldn't the south eastern region of Britain be red, not wales and western Britain?
An important fact is missing. King Peter of Castille had descendants in England through his daughter and the aforementioned English prince. IIRC a Daughter or granddaughter of theirs married one of the Trastamaras, thus, bringing back the legitimacy to their line, I think it was on Isabella's line.
Your naming of kings isn't very consistent: you sometimes say it in English, sometimes Spanish, and sometimed French. As I understand it, king names are translated so you should say them in English always.
Names of kings/queens by convention usually are translated into a local language if there is an equivalent name; otherwise they are left in the original. Hence, we have Carlos III rather than Charles III, Isabel II rather than Elizabeth, etc.
Joana I of Castille was a queen just nominally because they said she was mad (some theories say she really was mad and others say it was made up because everyone wanted the throne of Castille for himselfs and not for Joana) and her father Ferdinand II lock her up in a castle, when her father died, her son, Charles V/I kept her locked in the Castle. The Castle is in Tordesillas.
Spain encompassed some of our most notorious Kabbalists, as well as other things. However, Spain today is by far one of my favorite countries to visit.
Amazing video! I’d be great to explore the current claimant to the Catalonia throne from the House of Barcelona, post-Martí l’Humà's death. Disregard the Trastamara claim, as Catalans opposed them for being Castilians.
You said that the kingdom of Naples was “over on the Iberian peninsula”. You have to know that that statement is incorrect. The kingdom of Naples is in the ITALIAN peninsula.
19:30- While legally the line of Spanish Bourbon monarchs after Isabel II was from the male-line due to her husband Francisco having also been her paternal cousin, by many accounts it was a marriage in name only and it seems that virtually all Isabel II's offspring resulted via extramarital affairs though the couple would stay legally wed until Francisco's death. However, ALL Spanish Bourbon monarchs after Isabel II have been HER direct descendants.
Love it when Syawish makes a cameo! Currently making my way through all his videos 😅 (hope it doesn't mean Matt isn't okay though) thanks for the great content!
Im currently trying to figure out if im a decendant of the Ramirez de Arellano since I have Arellano ancestors from the 1700's. If thats true I'm a decent of the kings of Pampalona.
I am disappointed you skiped over the wife of Ferdinand III and mother of Alfonso X who was Elisabeth of Swabia of the Hohenstaufen dynasty and the Angelos dynasty from the Byzantine Emperors!!!
So happy you mentioned Queen Urraca!!! Like honestly she is such a badass Queen, got pregnant with a lover and had loads of illegitimate children until she died I don't know why don't people make a movie about her already!!?
As what house you belong to is determined by the father what would happen if Leonor marries a commoner? Would their children belong to a new house or would they be of Bourbon-Anjou due to the father not having one? We know it's no problem for Spanish royalty to marry a commoner as the current queen of Spain is one.
@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt But house isn't only surname for royalty? Historically at least in Europe nobility were always considered part of their fathers house and a nobel house died out when there were no more male heirs to become house head. Historically when a woman inherited the rule they always married nobility and their kids became part of the king consorts house, not the queens. Idk if all of this is just tradition or if it's in some obscure nobility law that is basically the same across Europe.
@@PokerAttack21It's just a tradition that goes back to ancient times. There is technically no reason why the house name couldn't go through the mother. The reason why the house name is inherited by the father despite the mother's maternal line being 100% known is just due to sexism of the time.
@@PokerAttack21There was one notable exception with Maria Theresa von Habsburg, whose children became Habsburg-Lorraines instead of just Lorraines (because the Habsburg dynasty was vastly more important). But either way, rules of royalty don’t really matter at all anymore, it’s just window-dressing for a powerless cultural institution.
@@lightyagami3492 Absolutely, matrilineal succession would be much more logical as like you say, you do 100% know who the mother is. My question is more of if the scenario I proposed has been considered as it might become reality soon and it would break with tradition.

So yeah, Isabella II's deposition resulted in the Franco-Prussian War which ended in 1871, with France losing the war and its territory of Alsace-Lorraine and Prussia turned into Germany after uniting with all the southern German-speaking states, excluding Austria. Napoleon III was deposed and France became a permanent republic, while Wilhelm I of Prussia became the German Emperor or the Kaiser.
Great video. I was able to confirm some of my branches on your videos. This genealogy thing is pretty incredible. Specially when you find out that you are related to some important figures in history. Very cool. Thanks 🙏🏽
12:20 ive been looking everywhere in the Iberian Peninsula, but im yet to find a "Naples" there
The captions say the Italian peninsula
and? @@themechanictangerine
i love that you are using ck3 for leader's portraits
I love your videos, but some inaccuracies appeared: i) you did not include the mother of Alfonso I of Portugal (because she was the "owner" of the County of Portugal, as a Leonese princess); ii) you showed Murcia as a part of the Kingdom of Aragon (first, Murcia belonged to the Crown of Castille, and you should have named it Crown of Aragon since it contains four different territories: Aragon, Catalonia/Barcelona, Valencia, and Mallorca); iii) the exile of Sephardic Jews is understood, at the legal level, as the cessation of the residence permit of those unbaptized inhabitants (Muslims were partially covered by the peace treaty with the last Moorish King). Finally, just a comment: the Navarrese line was completely forgotten, although it has a great history behind it, as descendants of El Cid, have been ruled by many female monarchs, and have been carved up by Spain and France.
murcia was sold to castille by arago. Murcia was conquered by catalans, hermano.
I love this. Many like England but I tell ya Spain is quite nice and interesting.
Joanna remained Queen until her death in 1555. She and Charles were technically co-moarchs until her death. What is with the Kingdom of Navarre? Isn't it important enough to have it's own family tree on the chart?
Perhaps because the ruling family Bourbon became Kings of France with Henri IV when the Valois line died out.
i find the naming inconsistency annoying. why leave some original names such as Sancho and Fruella then change to translated versions such as John, Peter or Ferdinand instead of the original Juan, Pedro, Fernando?
I wasn't expecting 13:17, very good 😂
Love that he put that in. 😉
Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!
10:03 this map hurts
Nah it’s based
@@Zach-mw5so I'm talking about that small part in southern Portugal being controlled by Castile despite Castile never owning it.
Thanks! This video was particularly entertaining and informative.
I do have some questions about the layout of the chart. First, why doesn't Urraca have a crown in her box if she was referred to in the video as "Empress Urraca"? Second, why does Francisco Franco have his own colored box if he wasn't royalty? Sure, he was the undisputed leader of a Republican Spain in between periods of monarchy, but then why doesn't Oliver Cromwell have his own box in the English/British monarchy line? (It just says "Commonwealth of England (no monarch)".) Personally, I feel that Cromwell was more of a de facto monarch than Franco was, but that isn't to say that I believe Cromwell should have a colored box either.
franco is way more important to spain than cromwell is to england
calling the francoist regime "republican spain" and franco " a leader" is an insult to my family, who died fighting aginst him. have some decency and call fascists what they are

That map at 10:20 is amazingly wrong in many ways. Algarve (the surprisingly red space under Portugal) was actually part of Portugal by then. Heck, it never was part of Castilla even when while it had been part of the Taifa (petty kingdom) of Niebla whose eastern part Castilla had conquered, it had been only the Portuguese crown the one taking it for themselves (the whole 'being legal part of Niebla' was a brief excuse for Castilla to claim it, but that claim never went to anything, it was always Portuguese). Also the frontier of Aragon with Castilla is hilariously bad, insanely moved to the west. It should be HALF of that . Heck, Aragon never had a frontier with Granada!! I mean.. it's surprising that a channel like this that tends to do their research right h as such an insane and hilariously inaccurate map.
why do you remove the title of Sainthood to Saint Fernando III? It's a waaaay more important title than King
For those interested, Isabel I "La católica" is in process of canonization since 1957.
I think you should have mentioned under Ferdinand VII the invasion by Napoleon and the independence of most of the American colonies.
It is quite usual to see when historian outside of Navarre write about the conquest to see it explained as an annexation, it was not. Castille and Aragon laid siege to Pamplona and forced the queen Catherine of Foix and the king consort John of Albret to flee to the other side of the Pyrenees. The war lasted from 1512 to 1521 and it ended with Castille and Aragon conquering the southern part of Navarre, the part now in Spain leaving only as the kingdom of Navarre the Lower Navarre, today in France.
FUN FACT: Felipe VI is also a descendant of Empress Maria Theresa of the Holy Roman Empire, thus making him a distant relative to the current heir of the Hapsburg Empire.
I like the old video and old family tree so much better. I wish you still sold it. I had a copy but sadly it was destroyed.
I'm from Peru and since i was a kid a heard this well known song about some spanish queen and a claimant of the spanish throne who would be Charles V. I always wonder who those two were, so thanks! (18:47).
Si la reina de España muriera,
Carlos V quisiera reinar.
¡Correría la sangre española,
como corren las olas del mar!
Cool vid.
I've just bought books on the Habsburgs and the Ottomans so might have to refer back to this if I get lost.
Wait, is this a remake of a remake?
I've been watching a lot of this channel's videos recently, and around 6 episodes in, I realized that in these videos you do not state any of your sources, which made me question the reliability of these videos. I'd encourage you to state your sources in the description or somewhere to ensure that your videos are reliable.
I wanted Matt Baker to narrate😕
14:45 erm no Charles the V was the most powerful man in Europe, dont start the ottoman nonsense, if you consider that charles V also controlled the low countries AND all the massive territories in the new world and all the resouces those brought, plus already starting to settle the phippines and all that trade with China. AND Charles V defeated the Ottomans at Lepanto. The Ottomans couldnt even take over Malta, which Charles also owned.
Exactly. And Pope Pius V caused the defeat of the Turks at Lepanto in 1571, pretty powerful man too.
@@nonnobis2232 pretty sure it wasn't papal state's navy that won that battle.
@@franbalcal it was his exhortation for the Christians of Europe to pray the Rosay. How else to explain the miraculous victory over the superior forces of the Ottoman Empire?
@@nonnobis2232 hhhmmm no, spain just had a better navy than the ottomans. It's that simple. Can you believe?
Lepanto was after Charles V's death.
But, yes, Charles V was more powerful than Suleiman. Sure.
Could someone help me? I'm from Brazil but my last name is the same as that of a Spanish nobleman, and my family has Spanish origins, how could I make this connection?
hola soy argentino 🇦🇷💪 si Brasileño tu apellido torres es de origen español es castellano osea de Castilla 🇪🇦 en Brasil viven 20 a 25 millones de descendientes de hispanos Brasileños saludos 🙋
7:34 there aint no way u used ck3
I think I read that the Bourbon house in the 19th century actually had a Spanish monarch who was more inbread than Charles II, but had none of the problems that had plauged Charles II he was apparently healthy.
the Spanish side of my family exists here in the Philippines because they were Carlists, they backed the losing side and had to leave Spain 😂
its pronounced as "iure yuxoris" and means "by the right/in the right of his wife" as in he was a king of England by virtue of being married to its ruling Queen, just as she was at the same time a queen regnant of England, and a queen consort of Spain due to being married to Spains King.
In this video I am missing 32 Kings of Spain before being invaded by the Muslims. His statues are in the Royal Palace, in Madrid.
I'd love to see something on Navarre/Catalonia with how it developed from the Visigoths. That side of the Pyrenees is easier to get through and the territory was disputed to say the least.
you wont find it here. this channel, knowing or not, uses heavily biased spanish nationalistic fonts.
@@delarkaBCN you call everyone and everything a Spanish nationalist
Do a video on who would be the emperor of Mexico today.
Hate to burst Louis Alfonse's bubble but one of the conditions Phillip had to agree to after the War of Spanish Succession was to renounce his claim to the French throne of he and his descendants forever.
How do you make this Charts matt?
Once, I was the king of Spain.
But now... I eat humble pie.
Still too soon
The best royal family, Queen Isabel the Catholic is more important than Queen Victoria or Marie Antoinette.
Hi, thank you so much for your work! Love the videos, watching from Germany 😊 I was about to order a couple, only to see that delivery as well as the tax on top are almost another charts worth.. do you have the option to purchase a digital download? I could buy and print it here and we both can save the planet simultaneously 😊
Good question, willing to print in high resolution here in Brazil too. Cheers
I literally just got my copy of El Grande board game in the mail, just before watching. It is good to have a map to look at. :)
I dont remember in the French or English or Scottish or or Portuguese or Italian or German kingdoms vidoes of their family trees any mention of when they signed the laws to expel the jews from their kingdoms? or in the portugal and papal videos when they created their Inquisitions?
its mentions like these which fuels the crazies in Spain who love to talk about the "black legend", about all the protestant propaganda to be Spain look bad.
It's because the expulsion of Jews from Spain was the largest of all such expulsions and it had a greater impact on history. It basically resulted in an entire branch of the Jewish people (the Sephardim) being moved back to the Middle East.
I understand this and its indeed a huge part of world history and should be included on any video about general Spanish History, but this is a video specifically about the Monarch's family tree. My point is that every time this is mentioned as a side note that isnt really about the the specific subject being discussed. It really feeds the far right in Spain. They believe there is a protestant led conspiracy to make Spain look bad. Which when the expulsions carried out by other countries are never or rarely brought up... its hard to argue against these far right spaniards. I can actually apply for Spanish citizenship because i have sephardic ancestry from jewish converts from precisely that time period. They have a law in Spain and Portugal where if you can prove you hace such ancestry you can apply for citizenship. @@UsefulCharts
14:36 Does bro really need to bring his muslim pride into this!?
That's what muslims do despite being kicked out from the iberian peninsula. Where is my spanish crusader armor now?
Europeans try not to cry when people don’t worship them and speak facts challenge:
Muslim pride? 😂 We fought for Turkizm, not for İslamism. + cry harder
@@TrancymindTurks never been in Iberia. Gypsy peninsula
the crusades and Spain didnt coexist in time. try again, fanatic.
Having learned all this in Spanish, it’s weird hearing it in English. I have a scholarly background in the Inquisition in Spain and the Spanish Inquisition (they are continuous, but two different things).
The Kingdom of Leon is probably where Ponce de Leon came from since his name is literally “Ponce of Leon”
Would You guys make a video of the Moldavian, Walachian, Transilvanian Royal family tree and maybe of the unified Romanian if You guys feel like it ofc.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Joseph I Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother! (I know he's in the chart I just found it strange you didn't talk about him)
philip II was married to mary I of england, who happened to be his father's cousin on the maternal side. charles V was the son of joanna, whose sister catherine of aragon had mary with king henry VIII of england. Perhaps this link could be shown on the chart.
"Maria Theresa, not to be confused with the empress Maria Theresa, who came later"
Two seconds later: animation highlights the empress
Really ignorant video. There was the Visigoth kingdom before that (~400-711AD) and before that it was part of the Roman Republic and Principate (210bc -~400AD) always part of Western Civilization with a common alphabet and strong regional characters. You rather include the Muslims that were just invaders and were kicked out. Really instructional.
Very revealing of the ideology influencing the channel.
I would love to see a family tree chart on Rollo the Viking... who of course was an ancestor of William the Conquerer.
14:06 damn man, this guy Ferdinand II was all over the Mediterranean 😯
Interesting how these Arab conquistadors conquered Spain the same way in the future Spanish conquistadors would conquer the Americas … namely taking advantage of internal upheaval amongst Visigoths and Aztec/Inca.
Another difference is that the Arab conquerors knew about it while spanish did not. The aztecs were not in a civil war when the spaniards arrived in the aztec empire.
@DiotimaMantinea-qm5ytThe aztecs was a combination of 3 tribes but we still don't know why and how it happened. Climate change is a possibility just like how the Mayas fell into a decline plus the aztecs rivalry enemy as the upcoming empire. 711-1492 there were A LOT of battles fought there including foreigners mercenaries getting involved there. The first crusader wars happened in the iberian peninsula.
@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt foreigners? Who?
@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt eventually all of Latin America gained independence from Spain
@@Trancymind the Aztecs were fighting other Mexican city states, the Spanish supported the Aztecs enemies like the Talascans. Something similar happened in Iberia with the Arab Muslim conquest. How could the Visigoths fall so easily?
In your map of the western and eastern roman empire, I think the colors for the areas that was under roman control and the areas that weren't have their colors reversed. Shouldn't the south eastern region of Britain be red, not wales and western Britain?
An important fact is missing. King Peter of Castille had descendants in England through his daughter and the aforementioned English prince. IIRC a Daughter or granddaughter of theirs married one of the Trastamaras, thus, bringing back the legitimacy to their line, I think it was on Isabella's line.
Could you please do a video about who would be the monarch of Hawaii today.
I've done it. Just search Hawaiian Monarchs Family tree.
Your naming of kings isn't very consistent: you sometimes say it in English, sometimes Spanish, and sometimed French. As I understand it, king names are translated so you should say them in English always.
Names of kings/queens by convention usually are translated into a local language if there is an equivalent name; otherwise they are left in the original. Hence, we have Carlos III rather than Charles III, Isabel II rather than Elizabeth, etc.
Can you update the tree to state that Alfonso VIII married a daughter of King Henry II of England, Eleanor Plantagenet?
Joana I of Castille was a queen just nominally because they said she was mad (some theories say she really was mad and others say it was made up because everyone wanted the throne of Castille for himselfs and not for Joana) and her father Ferdinand II lock her up in a castle, when her father died, her son, Charles V/I kept her locked in the Castle. The Castle is in Tordesillas.
Spain encompassed some of our most notorious Kabbalists, as well as other things. However, Spain today is by far one of my favorite countries to visit.
Amazing video! I’d be great to explore the current claimant to the Catalonia throne from the House of Barcelona, post-Martí l’Humà's death. Disregard the Trastamara claim, as Catalans opposed them for being Castilians.
You said that the kingdom of Naples was “over on the Iberian peninsula”. You have to know that that statement is incorrect. The kingdom of Naples is in the ITALIAN peninsula.
11:52 The beginning of almost 700 years of Portuguese submission to England and betrayal of their brothers .
19:30- While legally the line of Spanish Bourbon monarchs after Isabel II was from the male-line due to her husband Francisco having also been her paternal cousin, by many accounts it was a marriage in name only and it seems that virtually all Isabel II's offspring resulted via extramarital affairs though the couple would stay legally wed until Francisco's death. However, ALL Spanish Bourbon monarchs after Isabel II have been HER direct descendants.
Love it when Syawish makes a cameo! Currently making my way through all his videos 😅 (hope it doesn't mean Matt isn't okay though) thanks for the great content!

So happy you mentioned Queen Urraca!!! Like honestly she is such a badass Queen, got pregnant with a lover and had loads of illegitimate children until she died I don't know why don't people make a movie about her already!!?
If I'm not mistaken, were the Spanish royals as powerful and renowned as today's British Royal Family?
Can you do a video on the lords of Galloway
You forgot the house "de la Cerda"

I love the use of Crusader Kings III portraits.
As what house you belong to is determined by the father what would happen if Leonor marries a commoner? Would their children belong to a new house or would they be of Bourbon-Anjou due to the father not having one? We know it's no problem for Spanish royalty to marry a commoner as the current queen of Spain is one.
@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt But house isn't only surname for royalty? Historically at least in Europe nobility were always considered part of their fathers house and a nobel house died out when there were no more male heirs to become house head. Historically when a woman inherited the rule they always married nobility and their kids became part of the king consorts house, not the queens. Idk if all of this is just tradition or if it's in some obscure nobility law that is basically the same across Europe.
@@PokerAttack21It's just a tradition that goes back to ancient times. There is technically no reason why the house name couldn't go through the mother. The reason why the house name is inherited by the father despite the mother's maternal line being 100% known is just due to sexism of the time.
@@PokerAttack21There was one notable exception with Maria Theresa von Habsburg, whose children became Habsburg-Lorraines instead of just Lorraines (because the Habsburg dynasty was vastly more important).
But either way, rules of royalty don’t really matter at all anymore, it’s just window-dressing for a powerless cultural institution.
@@lightyagami3492 Absolutely, matrilineal succession would be much more logical as like you say, you do 100% know who the mother is. My question is more of if the scenario I proposed has been considered as it might become reality soon and it would break with tradition.
