Love these short biographies. Please do some on the wives of John of Gaunt.
Glad you enjoyed. I have Swynford and her sister already on my list and I will add Constantance, her sister as shes equally interesting,, and Blanche.

Thank you for watching!
Wow..what a pity the Lady passed away so young. She sounds wonderful despite all the scheming and conniving in her early life.
Agh! Sounds like the human equivalent of a puppy mill.
No mention here of how she might have died. Surely disease and infection were common but with serial pregnancies like that one has to wonder. I think the mortality rate in childbirth might have been something like 20% around that time. And before modern supplementation the old saying was, "a tooth for every child." Meaning, of course, that the nutrients pregnancy draws out of the mother's body is serious business.
Absolutely love this incredible informative ❤
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed
You are a good storyteller. I enjoyed the telling of this tale!
Years ago, I read a novel about an ancestor of Mary. She was descended from a daughter of Edward I. I don't recall the name of the book or the author, but the book also covered the early years of her ancestor's siblings. I still remember parts of it and if the story was somewhat true to history, Edward was a fairly indulgent father.
Ma'am I absolutely loved this documentary! I love history (especially anything medieval... and medieval monarchy is even better) and this seems like such a little known woman! It made my day find such a great video about an interesting woman who hasn't already had hundreds of videos made. Sometimes a subject just gets beaten to death. This was a breath of fresh air.
Id love to learn more about the woman who married these slightly lesser known kings. Especially Richard the II. What I know of him makes him sound insufferable at the very least, a full on tyrant at the most. The two wives he had must've had their hands full.
I can't wait to enjoy your next video!
So glad you enjoyed! Isabella of Valois is coming soon. My Anne of Bohemia video will be quite long, despite so little information known about her.
Richard II was volatile, to say the least, but, shockingly, he was one of the better husbands. Good Queen Anne seems to have been adored and honoured. But she must have had her hands full with such an emotionally explosive husband, no matter his devotion to her 🤣
Hope you stick around for my future videos!
I have this name in my family tree along with several other names known throughout history. One of my ancestors (Felton)was the 6th great grandfather of Anne Boleyn. The family line started in Normandy as Bertram,then branched into Mitford and Felton after 1066.
Very interesting! Thank you 🙂
Glad you enjoyed!
Where is that magnificent building , that you show, in the podcast.
Grandpa's and Grandmas John and Thomas and their wives.
thanks. I don't do tiktoc.
'History On Crack' title made me click on this 😂
It doesn’t matter how old you are or anything else .. if you have made a commitment to a partner, then stick to it! If you don’t want to be with them any more - respect them and say so and get away from them so they can find someone to be happy with.
She didn't have a choice in the marriage and would have been extremely difficult to get an annulment or divorce. Happiness had little to do with medieval noble marriages. It was about alliances.
What is the fixation with aerial shots of Corfe Castle?
It's a lovely view.
