  • The Queens of England who were tangled in the brambles of the Wars of the Roses fought tooth and nail for their rights and the rights of their families. The Queens consort of the Wars of the Roses were:
    Anne of Bohemia
    Isabella of Valois
    Joan of Navarre
    Catherine of Valois
    Margaret of Anjou
    Elizabeth Woodville
    Anne Neville

    The lives of the many Kings and handful of Queens Regnant who have held dominion over the kingdom of England, and later the United Kingdom take center stage in history. But the lives of their spouses and mothers are often relegated to the wings. In this series we will learn the stories of the many Queens Consort and the handful of male consorts who have been at the monarchs’ sides. Through love, hate, adultery and sometimes murder these women and men have played vital roles in the history of England.

    Fun Fact: Richard II and Anne of Bohemia did consummate their marriage. In a letter written to her brother, Anne expressed her grief over having a miscarriage. This was in about 1384.

      There are a few-such videos on RUclips, but most of them are terrible. Mainly b/c the wars were not a factional dispute, as is often claimed, nor did they start w/ the deposition of Richard II.
      They began in earnest during the reign of Henry VI, who inherited the crown as a child. Normally, after a long regency/protectorship such as his, he would begin taking on a personal rule. But even as an adult, he was mentally ill, being prone to catatonic episodes where he could not perform the duties expected of him. This left a vacuum of power; all his uncles were dead, & there was no clear heir to the throne (albeit plenty of contenders).
      His wife, Margaret of Anjou, did her best to take on Henry's duties. She even managed to become pregnant w/ a son & heir, tho. the child's paternity is often debated. However, she was not an able administrator, relying on cronyism. She was also a woman, & French to boot. Between misogyny, nativism, & her own incompetency, Margaret became *very* unpopular.
      Enter Richard of York, the richest man in England & a potential heir to the throne. During some of the King's catatonic fits, he was able to get himself named Lord Protector. He was of sounder mind than the King, but he favored an unwinnable war w/ France. But inevitably, Henry would recover, Margaret would take control of government again, & undo everything Richard tried to do.
      This went back-&-forth a few times (Richard was, at one point, able to get himself named Prince of Wales & heir-apparent), but after a while Richard realized there was nothing more he could accomplish as merely a Lord Protector. He decided to claim the Kingship, relying on his tenuous descent from Edward III's second-surviving son.
      The nobles were divided about Richard's claim. They conceded his descent was not spurious, but many felt that he & his family *really* should have put forward this claim sooner, if they wanted to be taken seriously. After all, 3+ generations had passed, the Lancastrians had held the throne for 3 generations, everyone had already sworn oaths to King Henry, & more importantly, Henry had already been crowned & anointed king.
      Still, many others saw an opportunity to side w/ Richard; lands, opportunities, & royal favor they did not presently possess. So the war began. Richard died early on, but his son Edward was more successful, winning the crown on two separate occasions. Henry VI's second defeat was his worst; his son was killed & the battlefield & he himself was murdered while at prayer. W/ no one else to oppose him, Edward IV reigned relatively peacefully for more than a decade.

      Part 2:
      However, not everything was all-clear for Edward, mainly regarding his marriage. He married, secretly, to a woman belonging to the English gentry class, Elizabeth Woodville. Edward was forced to reveal this *just* as his largest supporter was arranging his marriage to a French princess.
      This alienated Edward from his followers, as they were made to look like fools. Even Edward's brother George of Clarence turned against him & tried to claim the crown himself. But while the initial controversy blew over, the long-term ramifications stayed; Elizabeth came from a huge family, & all her 12 surviving siblings, along w/ her children from her 1st marriage, had to be given good marriages & positions at court. Other families became resentful over all the royal favor shown to the up-jumped Woodvilles.
      Edward IV died peacefully, in his own bed, leaving 2 minor sons & a few daughters. He left the crown to his eldest son, also named Edward, & named his last surviving brother Richard of Gloucester as Lord Protector.
      Richard of Gloucester was in a bind. He was afraid the Woodvilles would have undue influence over the young King, & he also knew that once his nephew came of age, he would be blamed for any Woodville mismanagement. His other option was even worse; Parliament had offered *him* the crown, & he knew that by taking it, he would be betraying the children he had sworn to protect.
      He decided to take Parliament's offer, using tenuous evidence to declare his brother's children illegitimate, usurping the crown to become Richard III. His nephews were probably murdered on his orders; he was their protector & controlled access over the tower where they were held, & he had every opportunity to produce the boys alive to counter claims he had them killed, yet never did.
      The boy's mother was understandably distressed about the fate of her sons. She began writing to Margaret Beaufort, the mother of the Lancastrian claimant in exile, Henry of Richmond. While her sons were imprisoned, her daughters were left alive; Elizabeth offered her eldest daughter, also named Elizabeth, in marriage to Henry as part of an alliance to depose Richard III. Margaret, knowing she would never see her son again otherwise, agreed.
      Other Yorkists, loyal to Edward IV but not Richard III, soon joined in on this conspiracy, as they did not believe Richard's claims that Edward's children were illegitimate. Even Richard's erstwhile ally, the Duke of Buckingham, betrayed him. The rebellion, later named Buckingham's rebellion, started off as a rebellion to restore Edward V to the throne, until it became clear he & his brother were dead, thereupon it became a rebellion in the name of Henry of Richmond.
      Richard, for his part, was looking for a second wife, & had begun negotiations with King John II of Portugal. Richard would marry John's sister, Joana, & his niece Elizabeth would marry John's cousin Manuel (the future Manuel I of Portugal). Henry of Richmond, who had promised to marry Elizabeth himself, knew it was now or never, & thus planned an invasion.

    • @jeandehuit5385
      @jeandehuit5385 3 года назад +24

      Part 3:
      The Bosworth campaign was actually pretty simple. Henry of Richmond landed in Wales & started drawing support, based in-part on his paternal Welsh ancestry (tho. he probably could not speak Welsh himself). Still, his force was outnumbered by Richard's, who was now gathering his forces against him.
      Henry wasn't much of a military commander, compared to Edward IV. He left those affairs to his ally, the Earl of Oxford. Richard, in comparison, was a seasoned warrior who probably felt more at home on the battlefield than in court politics. Both men were relying on the support of a 3rd party; Lord Stanley.
      Stanley was ostensibly a Yorkist. He & his brother had relentlessly switched sides during the early stages of the conflict. When one brother was a Yorkist, the other was a Lancastrian. Thus, they secured their family's survival. Stanley was married, at the time, to Margaret Beaufort, Henry's mother, but Richard III had given him control over his wife's lands. As a result, Stanley was a man of divided loyalties.
      Richard correctly suspected Stanley was in contact with Henry, & so threatened to execute Stanley's son. Stanley dryly responded that he had other sons, & refused to change course.
      When the battle itself started, Stanley himself took no part, not committing his force to either side. Henry's forces were doing badly, & Richard saw an opportunity to end the battle then-&-there by personally killing Henry in the field. Richard charged at Henry's personal guard, & even killed his standard-bearer.
      Stanley's *brother* William, at this precise moment, decided to throw-in for Henry, & attacked Richard from behind. Richard was killed, & Henry was proclaimed King Henry VII by right of conquest.
      Henry VII marched on London, & immediately assumed the Kingship. He kept his promise by marrying Elizabeth of York, but he waited a few months to actually do so; he wanted to establish that he was king in his own right, not a jure-uxorious Yorkist king. Plus, the new royal couple needed time to get to know each other.
      Given their son Arthur was born around 8 months after the wedding, its likely they were engaging in (gasp) premarital sex. It was a famously happy marriage, at least for Henry. He is recorded no bastards nor affairs after marrying Elizabeth, & after she died, he did not marry again. This was unusual for a renaissance monarch, & shows his particular attachment to her.
      In any case, Henry was an effective king, for the most part. While he developed a reputation for miserliness late in his reign, his policies were broadly effective. That his claim was weak was not really all that important; Henry VI & Edward IV both had strong claims, but were undone for various reasons. Henry VI for his mental illness (which Henry VII thankfully did not inherit), & Edward IV for his disastrous marriage (which Henry VII did not repeat).

      A similar fate befell the children of Geoffrey II, duke of Brittany, when John Lackland became King of England. Geoffrey was John's older brother, so his son Arthur had a theoretically better claim than John.
      Richard the Lionhearted had even named Arthur his heir, on occasion, but he named John as heir on his deathbed, probably b/c he knew John was an adult & Arthur a child, & nothing would stop John from becoming King.
      Even so, Arthur contested John's succession, & died under 'mysterious circumstances' (John probably murdered him). Arthur's sister Eleanor was condemned to a tower, where she later died.

      @@ivorybluesky ​Perkin was not her brother. We have evidence (historical records and his own confession) that he was actually the son Katherine de Faro and John Osbeck, the comptroller to the city of Tournai.
      Perkin was simply a conman, someone who decided to chance it and see if he could become king. You have to admire his ambition, I guess, but I can't stand conmen, so I feel little sympathy for him. Conmen (and women) often prey on the bereaved and desperate. Just think of modern "psychics" and "mediums" - they prey on those who have lost loved ones, those who are desperate to have some form of communication with their loved ones again, and they use known manipulative tactics (such as cold reading and hot reading, Barnum statements, and more) to convince their gullible audience that they actually possess detailed knowledge of people whom they've never met. This is exactly what Perkin Warbeck did - he used manipulative tactics to convince Elizabeth (and others) that he possessed detailed knowledge of the boys' lives, knowledge that only they would have known. And he was able to do this because, like a modern psychic or medium conning the recently bereaved, he was taking advantage of Elizabeth's desperation to see her brothers again. People who have suffered loss and tragedy are more susceptible to the kind of manipulative tactics that conmen (like modern psychics and Perkin Warbeck) use. They make it seem as though they are in contact with the dead (in the case of mediums), or know things about people they've never met (like psychics), or are the dead (like Perkin Warbeck), but that's not the case - they're just utilising the same manipulative psychological tactics that conmen have used for millennia. His tactics didn't work on Henry VII because Henry hadn't suffered the same tragedy as Elizabeth, and so wasn't primed to be as susceptible to Perkin's lies.
      So we can wholly confirm that Perkin was simply a pretender to the throne, as we have enough evidence that this is the case.
      The tragic truth is that the boys were almost certainly murdered.
