It's interesting you that presented the portrait of the Elector Karl Albrecht of Bavaria as being the portrait of Philippe of Parma also!
Joseph II and Austria would have been lucky If that women would stayed in Spain and die Not decieved everyone. She might have a good and Long Life as a nun. Anyway Austria would got another Queen. A real Queen who might loved her husband really and have him a successor.
Hating men make women intelectual, hating women makes men misogynic. Feministic Double Standard.

I didn't catch the first upload, so I'm glad this was reuploaded :)
Glad you're here to watch it now
Hey, this is a reupload as there were some issues with the previous one! Hope you enjoy it anyways!
Napoleon held Pavel I in very hight regards, I think it say something. Also we really can't trust sorces from Alexander I time, because they most likely excuses for coup.
@guruvedra True, some sources paint him as mad. Considering his tragic demise, he wasn't so wrong, was he?!
If I were Elizabeth Christine, I would give up on Frederick as a man but not as a king.
I guess at some point she was so isolated from court, that she didn't have a choice anymore on what to do ..
I like your voice and accent. No matter what language we grew up learning we have regional accents.
Thank you! :)
Good content however the narrator's style, tone and diction comes across as garbled needs improvement 😊
I agree!!
If he gave in that quickly, I don’t think that he was trying very hard to resist in the first place.
Agreed!
The family tree was more like a straight line 😂
Absolutely. And the outcome was scary!
The original Pretty Woman.
I was really interested to hear this, but unfortunately had to give up because the music overwhelmed the narration and was so distracting that I couldn’t listen anymore.

I did not feel the movie was at all accurate. Much better are the many biographical books out there.
I agree!
Honestly, we can’t say if she is a beauty or unpleasant beauty base on the portrait… they looks all the same for me.
True. And the portraits were usually altered to make the person look more appealing. On the other hand, beauty standards were quite different back then.
Frederick was gay. Even his father knew it. His father even had one of young Frederick's lovers executed, and made Frederick watch. So the marriage was totally political, forced on him by his father. Plus, Frederick was an intellectual giant, and his wife the complete opposite. So it's not hard to understand that when Frederick took the throne, he basically banished the Queen to her own distant palace, and only rarely saw her on state occasions he could not avoid. Needless to say, he had no children.

How being a “socialite with progressive ideas” makes sense for a royal traveling in Rolls Royces, wearing her diamonds and condescending to look at her chauffeur and maid ? Those people from the past (like her dad and grandmother) or the present time are totally disconnected from reality and do not know what they are talking about. It is a shameful nonsense. In Europe, we used to call them “the caviar left”….stay in your line. Or renounce everything if you are sincere. You cannot have both (same comment for the delusional Sisi, who, on the top, lived in a fantasy land where she thought she was a great writer. Did you read one of her “poem” ?
This was very interesting 😊😊
Thank you. I did not know much about the queen-consort of Prussia, Victoria's daughters. I have always viewed her husband, Frederick's death a tragedy for Prussia/Germany, as well as for his wife and children. Had Frederick lived he would have been a ruler who would have worked with Britain to contain the rabid authoritarianism of both Russia and Austria that was impossible to maintain as Europe entered the 20th century.
Your voice is so calming, and the way you tell the information makes it easy to viewers to go along with the story 💗 I have one question tho, I noticed that you didn’t talk about Helene, what happened to her? as far as I know she was Elisabeth’s sister as well, I might be wrong lol but I hope you’ll clarify if you came across my comment 🤍
Glad you enjoyed it! I made a seperate video about Helene, check out the link ruclips.net/video/XaG6v7IWQZA/видео.htmlsi=0pgseA9Ug_An1ifV
@@historyfoxy5278 Thank you 🤍
Maria Sophie, Mathilde and Sophie Charlotte all looked exactly like Elisabeth, especially Mathilde (although her features were a little more harsh).
Totally agree!
Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …... Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness….. God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's mighty name 🙏 💕
Pedro was styled Duke of Braganza, not crown prince
He was not born as a crown prince, but when his older brother passed away he became the crown prince.
Partly British propaganda - they assasinated him. Kingslayers aren't exactly looked at as noble. But when You portray a king as mad it becomes more ok, no? Why? He wanted to interfere in India and was strengthening Poland's position within the Russian empire (from Cromwell to Jalta British secretly played against Polish independence, including assasination of Polish leader general Sikorski in Gibraltar). Proofs? British historian Elizabeth Sparrow has uncovered the mystery behind the tsar's death. Jan Piński from Poland has a history channel where he explains how UK played against us. Gibraltar assasination proof? By not wanting to make the documents regarding his death public British basically admit that they did something bad and they don't want to show it. Ain't history fascinating? 😏
I‘ll have to look into that, never heard of that theory before, thanks for sharing ☺️
Merry Christmas to you. What a beautiful pic of Queen Victoria & her 2 eldest. It looks like she is wearing her emerald tiara in tge pic.

I like to create them as well, they give a nice overview ☺️
I have mental illness this would have been a dream come true me being an introvert and all.
Well, living by yourself voluntarily might be comfortable, but being forced? Not sure about that
I also have some mental health issues, and am an introvert. Its not unusual for me to not talk to another soul, other than my puppy, Honey, after i get off work at 2:00 pm until the next day when i return to work at 9:00 am. And i quite enjoy that. However to be forced to, would feel very oppressive, i believe.
Yeah it was no question that she was a tragic figure. It makes me cringe when discussing the history of mental health especially those of individuals in the past. I had spoken to psychology professor of mine and when in conversation I brought up Joanna of Castile and from what was described in the beginning she sounded like an angsty teenager, who questioned her parents a lot and it was speculated that her mom subjected her to la cuerda which was a way to punish her and have her see "the light", and that didn't help (I know at 16 I was moody) but later on in her marriage to Philip she was described as alternating between two moods and one moment could be peaceful or lethargic to melancholic and at times violent and angry so my professor described that it could also be undiagnosed BPD or depression and given that she was also pregnant there could have also been postpartum, and her environment didn't help. And today such things can be given treatment and people like her have a platform to speak. Thank you for posting this kind of video it was wonderful ❤️
Thanks a lot for sharing your opinion! I agree, living during that time without any (sufficient) mental health support must have been horrid.
You too beautiful 🌸💗🧁🪷🍨💐🌠🌲📧
Thank you 🥰
