Maybe a series on girl/women married to homosexual nobility/royalty who possibly had children to their husband’s illegitimate half brother - by arrangement to carry on the line if slightly kinked?
Well, at least she didn't sexually abuse her child-husband. Look at how many of these child-bride marriage situations we've read/heard about where the child-bride ends up pregnant at 12 or 13!
Unfortunately (depending on the precise time period and place) this was acceptable. Gratian, complier of canon law 12th century, stated that 12 was the appropriate age for girls to be bedded, 14 for boys.
It seems horrendous to us as age of content is 16 (in England). It is unfortunately recently that we have increased the age. Id like to see it raised to 18. Our ancestors did not view a 12 year old as we do. We can not expect them to have lived by our morals and perspectives.
We don't compare 12yrs olds of today to those from several hundred years ago. My Great Uncle Ford was 9 and was able to drive from Jackson, MS to Mobile AL. He had to pick up his mother. This was in the 1920s..... before gas stations!!! I think we have destroyed humans ability to be successful....
It wasn't that long ago that a 6 year old might be put to work, and I don't mean around the house or farm, but in a factory. People had different expectations of their children and they were given responsibilities much earlier. Joan of Arc was appx 14 when she approached the French king to aid him in the war against the English, and over the next couple years, until her death at the age of 19, counseled the king and led troops into battle. Alexander the Great was 16 when he became king and soon started his wars of conquest. Can you imagine a 16 year old of today commanding an army? Or even approaching a President/Prime Minister with advice on how to win a war?
Gaunt did not want to let the Hastings fortune. Elizabeth may have hoped that the marriage would be ultimately dissolved. Catherine, the third wife of John Graunt, was considered unattractive.
Oh what a tangled web we do weave.... those Toga's flirted,and had affairs like nobody's business. A scandalous bunch if ever there were. Seems like everybody was related. My ve....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😏😏😣😣
Ive not long read about Elizabeth , in Anne O'Brien's novel The kings sister. Im very interesed in reading about women from royal background in the mediaeval period , ive read also the story on Constance the wife of Thomas Despenser, by the same author, and im now reading about Cecily Neville also by Anne O'Brien. Will you be covering more of the lives of women from these times rather than the men? i hope so. Thanks
Anne O'brien is one of my favourite authors. Yes, certainly will be covering more women. Specifically, I have series on TikTok called HERstory which I am turning into a podcast episodes. Theyre mostly life stories but there will be a few shorts like this one. The first episode will be available later this week and will be the life of Mary de Bohun, mother of Henry V. Thank you for watching/listening
@noreenclark2568 Don't worry, the series is being turned into Spotify podcast episodes which will be uploaded YT. First episode will be uploaded at the weekend
Thank you for the heads up about these ladies! I’ve been on an extensive project to learn about as many women in English history as possible and will check out Anne O’Brien’s books. May I suggest that 🎉🎉read Sylvia Barbara Soberton’s The Forgotten Tudor Women series? I’m on my last book of that series and can highly recommend it. Women’s stories absolutely need to be made known.
The picture of Kung Henry IV is incorrect it is likely a picture of his contemporary Charles VI of France hence the Latin look to him. Other than on his tomb in Canterbury I believe there is no known visual representation of Henry IV.
The painting is not contemporary to his life but is indeed suppose to represent Henry IV, hence 'Henricus' written in the corner. This painting dates to the late 16th century. In truth, it seems the clothing and stance originate from a engraving of Charles VI. It is thought the face is not based on Charles VI but other presentations of Henry IV including tomb effigy and manuscript illustrations.
merci, danke, thanks i will look at anne o brien novel the kings sister.,.. its about time the women in the mediaeval period had their own videos, both intresting and great..., henry 8th and his 6 wives is totally overated and done to death.. there are many many other intresting women to explore... my suggestion is duchess isabella of lancaster & portugal( burdgundy) .. the mother of duke charles the bold, the mother in law of duchess magaret of york,.... she def needs her own video, and is overshadowed by her husband, son and daughter in law...
@@Historyoc , merci, thankyou... duchess of burgundy... isabella started as a portuguese princess , daughter of queen filiipa, philipa plantagenet lancaster & portugal.... her ancestor prince john of gaunt* ghent the red prince... the book by helen clark..., she is also a overlooked figure in both french, dutch and belgian history the state of burgundy... and also related to the house of beaufourt, the book by nathan amin... via countess joan nee beaufourt *nevilles of raby castle of westmorland and her daughter duchess cecily the rose of raby..., who became duchess of york... another line, of countess magaret beaufourt.. takes you too the 3rd stafford :duke of buckingham & lord of buckingham..., there are no less than 3 countess beaufourts, but only one was mater rex* the mother of the king, a tudor ancestress and regent of the kingdom...
Love these short biographies.
Back in those days, among the aristocracy, there was plenty of marriage without love, and consequently plenty of love without marriage.
This was a great watch! 😊

They were so much into marrying their cousins that a little fresh blood from an affair helped not to have too much inbreeding😅
Just found this. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you so much 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

Yay i found your RUclips! So excited. Same name on tiktok. ❤
Hello 🥰
So, was it fried friar??!!

Wow, I can't believe they could dissolve a marriage that easily in the Middle Ages.
