Sure
I love (almost) all of your videos but this new style of video is awesome!!! Keep up the great work!!
Also, purple is red and blue mixed together, which is a very important part of their faith
@@asadus1558
That is true.
Sure
No one gonna mention Prince in the thumbnail? 😂 Just a fun reference
To the Purple Rain born. 😉
Prince in Purple Rain 💜🤘
Who is he ?
@@ellisford7596 A famous American musician. He made a very well known song called Purple Rain, so that and his name may be why he was in the thumbnail. It was also his birthday yesterday so great timing on Lindsey's part lol
@@Jen321able oh well happy birthday guy.
Lady Jane Grey really makes me sad. The poor girl didn't seem to want to be a queen and she lost her head for it
She was used and abused by various people most of her short life.
"Story of my life!"
Same. I was watching a documentary about her saying Edward chose her as his successor because He felt like his sister Mary would bring the Catholic faith back to England (she tried but failed). What I found out that shocked me is that Mary I of England didn't want her cousin Jane to be executed, Jane's father betrayed her and threw her under the bus. She was too young to have the fate
@@thebullqueen although yes her father didn't help her case the real reason Mary signed her death warrant was because a rebellion sprung up in her name trying to make her Queen again she had nothing to do with it but since they were fighting in her name she got the blame for it unfortunately and lost her head
Edward VII during teenage : “He also generally liked the opposite of whatever his mother wanted”
Edward VII when king : “He also generally liked the opposite of whatever his mother wanted”
This is also, funnily enough, the explanation for his regnal name. His birth name was Albert Edward (nicknamed Bertie within the family, tho. the public & society called him the Prince of Wales & seldom used his birthname).
Victoria would have begged, *pleaded* for him to reign as 'King Albert Edward I.' This is the woman who loved all things Albert; Bertie's eldest son was named 'Albert Victor' & they named the future George VI 'Albert' b/c he was born on Prince Albert's death-day & it was the only way to lighten her mood.
Bertie, tho. wanted things done his own way, so when Victoria died, he decided to reign as Edward VII. His stated reason for doing so was that he wished for his father Prince Albert's name to "stand alone." His *actual* reason was probably to shed the last vestiges of his mother's control over him.
Why this story becomes twisted as 'Victoria never wanted anybody in the family to become King Albert' is baffling to me. Bertie #2 (the future George VI) chose *not* to reign as King Albert due to the German connotations of the name (which had never been popular in Scotland nor England) at a time Britain was at the doorstep of war w/ Germany. In neither case did the name change have to do w/ Prince Albert directly.
Royalty: “We...”
The Constitution: “We the people...”
Next: We the people of Earth
Popes also use The "Royal We"
@gayboyzig Brilliant 😂
I would be very interested in hearing a breakdown of the Japanese royal family
Same
I don't think that the Japanese Imperial Family will be abolish soon. They are the symbol of Shintoism, as they are believed to be the descendants of Amaterasu - the goddess of the sun in Japanese mythology. And the sun is a important symbol of Japan, so yeah, it's might take a long time to abolish the imperial family
@@ThangPham-mp3wn I agree, but because Japan is still very much centred around tradition. It is so ingrained in their culture that I doubt the public would want royal rule to end.
Yea
If Matilda is not considered a "queen" because she didn't have a coronation, why is Edward VIII considered a king when he abdicted prior to his coronation? Maybe I missed something here.
Because he was George V's son- he automatically became King because of the death of his father. As per rules of succession... Matilda and Jane being medieval/tudor Queens... Faced different laws.
Honestly, it's because history is written by the victors, who tell the story that helps themselves the most. Matilda only held power briefly, and was still alive when her son came to the throne in 1154, so he could not acknowledge her rule without putting the crown back on her head. Jane Grey was proclaimed by the Council and took possession of the Tower, making her the legitimate queen, but her rival Mary I had to disavow Jane's rule to secure her own place. Mary's successor Elizabeth I followed suit because Jane's sisters were still alive and many thought they were the "rightful" heirs instead of Elizabeth.
In Edward VIII's case, George VI's right to rule rested on the same premise as his brother's--both sons of George V--so the Edward's right could not be ignored (besides, he abdicated rather than being disposed).
Henry VII labeled Richard III usurper yet did acknowledge his rule, likely because he was trying to reconcile the rival factions and kept many of Richard's advisers, even restoring Richard's heir to the Council. BUT Henry also backdated his rule to the day *before* his victory at Bosworth Field so he could attaint those who fought against him for treason. See? History is written by the victors.
Btw, the Tudor Society acknowledges Queen Jane's rule. Cheers.
Both Matilda and Jane's respective rights to the throne were very widely and hotly disputed the moment they were proclaimed. This was not the case with other monarchs such as Edward VIII, despite the fact he too had no coronation. It was probably the most important reason the ladies aren't usually included in lists of monarchs.
In the olden days the rules were the most powerful person got the throne and a coronation cemented their claim however by about 1700 the rules were clear and the coronation is now more like a grand festival and you are considered sovereign as soon as you ascend.
Great question Fulani! I guess patriarchy is still prevalent
Well it’s my birthday, and the only thing that makes my day shine even more is that the OUTSTANDING LINDSAY HOLIDAY uploads a video

Happy birthday Junies! Mine's tommorrow, and this weekend in NSW, we have a "Queen's Birthday" long weekend (Queen Liz II's b'day is in April, but June needed a long weekend, so yaaaay!).
Happy Birthday 🥳
Early in my nursing career, I made a rookie mistake when I used the plural "We" when telling a patient it was time to take bath. The elderly man replied " Whats this we sh$t, you got mice in your pocket?". I laughed and never used it again.
My son and I love watching your videos together. He's 8 and he's becoming a real history buff because of your channel.
Your ad transitions are always so smooth, they’re the only ones I bother to watch 😂
🤣 Same!
This couldn't have came at a better time as I visited Edinburgh castle and saw the crown jewels today☺️
It was brilliant wasn’t it,I went two years ago and it was one of my favourite trips.
Lilibet is actually still a pretty name even though how it came to be was accidental.
09:28 Actually, the "Unready" in Ethelred's name translates to "poorly advised", not the modern meaning of the word.
Yeah doesn’t Aethelred mean “Noble-Council” or “Well-advised”? So his epithet is an oxymoron? That’s kinda funny.
@@DaoFAQ Yes:
So the "red" in Æthelred & the "read" in Unready (Old English Unrǣd) both come from the same Old English root word, the one that later developed into the modern English verb "to read." Today, it refers to reading books; back then, it meant to advise or council.
The "Un" part in Unrǣd is just the negative case (like unable, unsafe), hence "un-read"="poorly-advised" or "poorly counseled."
The "Æthel" means 'noble'; sons of West Saxon kings were given this word-part in their names for precisely this reason. Since all things noble carried positive connotations in the Middle Ages (due in part to the nobility having a monopoly on written culture), "noble-counsel" has the added meaning of "good-counsel."
Hence, 'noble-counsel the poorly-counseled.' Like any pun, it gets less funny the more you explain it, but hey! Now you know a little bit about Old English.
I think Lindsay was just joking about Ethelred’s title.
@@kate_cooper I’m sure she was, it just seemed like a good opportunity to discuss the etymology of the title. Also some people might not know so it should probably still be brought up on an educational video.
Victoria, oh Victoria! You were always a negative person. Even when we were still alive.
Your Majesty should remember that you had your fits of negativity as well. And your relationship with your daughter Gisela was far worse than Victoria had with any of her children.
Remember Sisi, You and every single royal especially everyone had a negative personality.

It took several months to execute Jane Gray. Mary actually wanted to spare her but several uprisings forced her hand

Amazing Royalty in England.. Im a fan of Elizabeth II, Margrethe II, and Beatrix of Netherlands
So if we get another Anne in the future then Anne Stuart would be named Queen Anne 1 right.
Right!
The same works for the names Victoria & John; Victoria would become 'Victoria I' & John Lackland would become 'John I'.
Since the monarchs have to take the highest regnal number in either Scotland or England, it also means various random names would get high numbers; a new King who chose the name James would be 'James VIII', while a new King who chose the name Malcolm or Alexander would become 'Malcolm V' or 'Alexander IV' (Malcolm IV & Alexander III being Scottish kings who ruled around the time of Henry II & Edward Longshanks respectively).
Correct
The custom is to take the father's name for the house name so of course Elizabeth II is of the house of Windsor. Charles is free to change it like Queen Victoria's son did. Elizabeth's decision only counts for her lifetime.
I think The Queen has made a rule for Charles and William that they are not to change the name when they become king and has insisted it stay as Windsor. That and her refusal to have herself or anyone else abdicate are 2 things The Queen has set in stone as rules.
@@lucypreece7581 no they could modify it, or change it back, just the same way Elizabeth II changed the law of succession.
The likelihood of them doing it I think is really low.
They might make addition to it on who gets the royal last name and who doesn't with more and more royals actually living, with or without that famous last name, just like who is counted as having Prince or Princess as a title.
Charles or William have the right to change the name if the royal house just as their ancestor George V--through Letters Patent. I doubt they will though, since continuity is going to be a big issue for them.
Elizabeth II did not change the laws of succession. Only Parliament can do that.
@@lucypreece7581 Your litereally wrong tho,as other comments explain she only decided to keep her own name,once she dies they can either keep or change the dynasty name
@@lucypreece7581 Just because she doesnt want this doesnt mean its "set in stone"
My only wish to our current monarchy is for Charles to consider ruling as King Arthur, considering that's one of his middle names. Its about time we got a King Arthur!
Ethelred the unready wasnt 'unready' in fact ' Unready' actually meant 'no counsel', or that he was unwise.
Some of the british monarchs who chose not to use their real names were Edward VII, whose real first name was Albert as was George VI real name and Queen Victoria's real name was Alexandrina.
Hello friend how are you doing?🌹
Wow 🤩 thanks so much for answering and Sharing my question about the blue bloods it really means a lot to me thank you you have made my day ❤️! And to think 🤔 that painting our veins blue as a fashion trend 😩
Knd of like tattoos.
Lady Jane Gray, the 9 day queen. I love the novel that was made and did a book report. it was an amazing novel.
I thought Queen Victoria pronounced “We are no amused,” after seeing a production of HMS Pinafore.
Here’s another question: Why do some royals wear sashes? Should they be worn from left to right or vice versa. What about color?
Some royals wear sashes become the monarch appointed them a member of an order. The direction of the sash and the colour all depends on the order. For example in the UK, there are multiple orders, the two main ones worn by royals are the Order of the Garter and the royal victorian order (for service to the crown), the queen has appointed the most senior royals (e.g. her children, her cousins and prince william) as knights of the order of the garter meaning they wear the garter sash (you will find a photo of it on google) all knights/lady companions of the order of the garter wear the sash on their left shoulder, the other order, the royal victorian order has different ranks, the highest one is a knight/dame grand cross of the royal victorian order which is the only rank that wears a sash, that sash is blue and red (again you will find a photo of it on google) however it is worn from the right shoulder, recipients would be less senior royals like camilla, duchess of cornwall, catherine, duchess of cambridge and sophie, countess of wessex. There are lots more orders (there is a wikipedia page about them all - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders,_decorations,_and_medals_of_the_United_Kingdom) and the colour and direction of the sash show you which order that person is apart of.

Lmao what’s Prince doing here? 😂 Thank You Lindsay!💞
I'm was not amused when Henry Tudor stole my crown!
Nether was I when George I stole my crown!
*I
With respect, your majestyyy
I was not amused when I died and the Tudor line lost chances of continuing ( Elizabeth and Mary's children wouldn't be Tudors)
I was not amused when Queen Mary murdered my brother and sister-in-law 😞
Nobody was amused when u usurped the throne and killed two kids, pervert.
12:10 The name George in not German, but Greek γεωργός- it means 'farmer'. The name Albert is Germanic origins. I think that George VI choose this name to honour his father.
I would LOVE to see a video on the Welsh Monarchs before the Edwardian Conquest. It's not even taught here in Wales much, with schools focusing more on English history. I've heard that other European countries learned more about it than us - history being written by the victors and all that. Lots of blood, backstabbing, torture and assassinations to dig in to!
Lindsay Holiday and Origins Explained have been a Godsend during these insane times.
Thank you so much for the awesome work you do!
Is the title "Queen Mother" really a title? Or is it just a special nickname of Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, since the next heir is, and will take "Elizabeth" as her regnal name, and will have the title Queen also? Just to avoid confusion??
Edit: Forgot to add that the reason why I asked this is because the Dowager Queen, Mary, (Mary of Teck) Did not use a title like the Queen Mother's. Sooooooo maybe it really is just for the Queen Mother.
Another edit: Just realized that if you happen to live during King George VI's era until today, then that means you get to witness decades of having Elizabeth as your queen lol... that's cool.
It is a courtesy title. There a different kinds of queens, like consort, dowager, regent or regnant. Queen Elizabeth was specifically known as Queen Mother to avoid confusion with Queen Elizabeth ll. Maybe you would’ve preferred if she answered your question but since I kinda know this I did 😅💖
@@santiagoolivares336 Oh nice, thank you for your reply!
Queen Mary of Teck outlived her husband George V and her son George VI. She would have been the Queen Mother until George VI died. Mary's life continued into the first year or so of Elizabeth II's reign.
@@purrdiggle1470 Oh yes. But out of all the dowager queens I know, Elizabeth was the only one who used the title Queen Mother. Anyway, thankyou for your reply.
I have another question, I think the title Queen Mary of Teck is incorrect? She's not the Queen of Teck tho, just a princess of Teck; And perhaps the Queen of the UK?
@@myani.I think the title "Queen Mary of Teck," meant that she is not technically "the queen" of Teck-which is impossible because Teck is just a duchy within the Kingdom of Württemberg-it refers to where she's from instead.
OMG!! I learned so much from this video! You are really gifted. Thank you... I can't wait to watch more!

Way off topic, but I literally took a spit-take when Stephen's portrait popped up @ 8:33 😂
amazing Lindsay!
I’m a teacher and I use the Royal We when speaking to my students. 😂
I have also wondered why Elizabeth and Philip chose "Charles" for their heir's name considering the history.
I've also wondered the same thing about William and Catherine's choice of "Louis". I know he's in line after both George (a very English name) and Charlotte (another familiar British royal name) but if it happens that Louis does become King it would be somewhat strange to had a British King Louis considering its strong link to the French monarchy and England and France's long rivalry.
Also, would he be considered the first King Louis or the second. I've seen conflicting reports about the short rule of King Louis. Some records include him and some don't.
It’s basically guaranteed that Louis won’t become king, and although Louis isn’t a very British royal name, it is a very common name for regular people in the U.K. which is why I think they chose it. To seem more down to earth
I enjoy this type of videos. Can't wait for part 2.
So enjoying these videos - listening at work makes the day go so much more pleasantly :)
the way you went off about the blue bloods ideal being racist and classist !! 👏🏼👏🏼 thank you !!
I was looking for this comment. The way she narrates is so sweet and then she turns and is like “yeah they were racist as shit for that one”
Even the way you speak is simply royal! Thank you for this enriching video ;)
Royals don’t speak like little girls.
Also royals don't generally have an American accent
I'm here!!! I'm a huge fan Lindsay!!!

Were there any Queens or Princesses with bad cramps or menstrual problems? Seems everyone always looks so beautiful and never swollen. Do they schedule their appointments around their monthly? Is that even possible? Queen Letitia always looks perfect too. Maybe they get so skinny they stop having them. I ask you this because you don’t seem to shy away from our questions. Thank you.
What website/programme do you use to make your family tree charts (e.g. the one at 15:20)

It doesn’t matter what Prince Charles calls himself if/when he becomes king, he’ll be unpopular nevertheless.
No name makes him likeble
Henry I had 25 children. 20 from his mistresses
Oh my god.

20 illegitimate children? Damn..
Totally untrue.
Girl, you had me with Prince in the thumbnail 😍😆 love me some Prince
I like these! Thanks!
Hey, Charles is a good name. I think Charles II was a good king. But then again there is Prince Charles... who is just meh to me.
Here’s another idea, it might be too controversial and I would understand why you might not feel comfortable covering it. The idea I have is all the controversy covering the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their actions and activities. Also I would be interested in seeing a video on all of the Duchesses that were and are originally from the US and CANADA. Thanks again.
Thank you. This was episode was really interesting.
Thanks!!! Love your videos!!
WE LOVE YOU LINDSAY!!!!!
Isn't Queen Elizabeth II supposed to be Elizabeth I of Scotland too? It seems like they stopped separating the regnal number after the unification. William IV, Edward VIII.
The monarchs pick the highest regnal number available in either Scotland or England. So Elizabeth becomes II b/c that's the highest number in England (tho. not in Scotland).
If a future king takes the name James, then he'd be 'James VIII' as that's the highest number in Scotland (but not in England). By the same token, a future king taking the name Malcolm or Alexander would be 'Malcolm V' or 'Alexander IV' as Malcolm IV & Alexander III were Medieval Scottish kings, even tho. there are no kings of either name in England's history.
It's up to the monarch, but she's going to have one name because the UK is one country

Hello friend how are you doing?🌹
11:50 Victoria gets on everyone's nerves
Charles the 3rd fits him perfectly then?? Charles and his mistress will never be my monarchs. If William had taken the throne I may have voted to keep them but as soon as Australia has it's next referendum I will be voting against the Royal Family for the first time. The last one was 1999 and only passed with a 55/45% majority. At that time the Queen Mother and Elizabeth was still alive and my whole family voted to keep them out of respect for the hard work and commitment by these 2 women. I will never vote to keep Charles...and never even acknowledge the mistress he married. Bring on the referendum!! I think 2023 will be another to get rid of him once and for all.
I was wondering what some of the English thought of their new king sausage fingers. Also would you feel the same if let's say, harry took the throne? (If that's possible even since he exited?)
By far my favorite RUclipsr
Can you do more videos on Scottish royalty? Love your videos!!
Tyrion purple is a VERY modern name. It comes from game of thrones references. Royal purple has been called several things, but anyone who ever wore true royal purple would have had no idea what "tyrion purple" was
That’s not true. It’s spelled “Tyrian” purple and was named for the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre. The city was the center of the purple dye trade for centuries.

Hello, sweet Robin ❤️
You're amazing, Lindsay. I appreciate the tea time.
GRRM seems to have been inspired by Matilda's story. Poor Matilda, poor Rhaenyra 😅
If a countess in her own right dies before her husband what would his title be?
If a British monarch's oldest child is a daughter and their second oldest child is a son what would his title be?
Nobody is countess in their own right. Only baronies can be inherited by women.
1. He would have to give up his title then. Or be a Dowager Count
2a. Duke of Cornwall is the title of the eldest son
2b. Duke of York is the title for the second eldest son
@@Patrick3183 The Countess of Loudon was a countess in her own right. There were several others; it depends on what heirs are eligible to inherit according to the original grant. Most of them do devolve to heirs-male, but there are a few that do not (either b/c their creation predates the male-only custom, or b/c they were created for ppl. who had no sons & requested an alternative form of succession).

Wonderful video as always Lindsay. But I do have a question for a future video. What if, the Australian dude, who thinks he is the love child of Prince Charles and Duchess of Cornwall, is actually telling the truth? Does he have a right to the throne? Or is he meerly a commener as the rest of us.
You have to be legitimate to inherit the kingdom. "Love children" don't qualify. 😏😉
He’s an insane commoner.
He's not legitimate and in any case William was born from princess Diana who legally married Charles way before Carmilla so he would be a step-brother to him and Harry rather than having a right to the throne.
He is far too old to be the son of Charles and Camilla. They would have been toddlers or very young children when this pretender was born😂😂😂
Love the vids! Just wondering if you can do the life of king Edward 8?
The Chola Dynasty of India was the longest ruling dynasty in the world which lasted for 1300-1500 years. They were first to introduce naval warfare. At their peak, ruled many parts of South Asia and South East Asia.

Hey mother !
@@henryfitzroy4773 I'm here FITZROY
Hi!
Somebody asked how dynasties get their names. The comment was deleted, but I already had a response prepared, so I might as well put it here:
Oftentimes historians pick them; the Houses of Wessex, Normandy, Anjou, Plantagenet, & Tudor were not named as such when they reigned. The names were chosen afterwards by historians looking for a convenient way to divide up the Kings of England. The names are rather uncreative; Wessex is named as such b/c that house ruled Wessex prior to uniting England; the House of Normandy was from Normandy; the House of Anjou was from Anjou, & so on.
Conversely, the Houses of Lancaster, York, & Stuart were *reasonably* familiar with those names; the Stewarts had had a hereditary surname prior to inheriting the Scots throne, so they knew they had a family name & used it on occasion. The Papal dispensation of Henry VII's marriage to Elizabeth of York names his house as Lancaster & hers as York, so those names were known (but Tudor was not used).
The names of Tudor & Plantagenet require a bit more explanation. The Plantagenet rulers from Henry II to Richard II did not use that name in any capacity; it was a nickname given to their ancestor Geoffrey of Anjou, but nicknames were not usually hereditary (Henry III didn't inherit the nickname Lackland nor did Edward II inherit the nickname Longshanks).
However, Richard, 3rd duke of York (father of Edward IV & Richard III) assumed Plantagenet as a surname to emphasize his male-line descent from the English royal house & his claim to the throne. This is where the Plantagenet name properly comes from & it is only from this point onwards that using does not constitute an anachronism.
As for the Tudors, they were anglicized Welshmen (Henry VII was born in English-occupied Wales, but didn't speak Welsh). The Welsh used patronymics. Henry VII's paternal great-grandfather was named Maredudd ap Tudur (Meredith, son of Tudor; Tudor being a Welsh version of the name Theodore). Maredudd's son was named Owen ap Maredudd, but in documents his name is written a variety of ways, such as Owen ap Maredudd ap Tudur (Owen, son of Meredith, son of Tudor). In some, the 'aps' are dropped & so is 'Maredudd', leaving only 'Owen Tudor,' which became the basis for naming the Tudor dynasty as such.
However, the Tudors could have easily become the Merediths (if Owen ap Maredudd became the commonly used form). Moreover, their title may have been used to name the House, rather than their patronymic (thus, they may have been known to history as the House of Richmond, for ex.)
Please don’t copy and paste.
@@Patrick3183 Who peed in your cornflakes? I'm sure the person who originally asked still wants to know, & it seemed like a waste for me to type all that out only for the comment chain to be deleted.
In any case, it is at your leisure to ignore my post; no one's forcing you to read it.

Hi Jane :)
Could you make a video on the role of religion on monarchies, I feel like a lot of rules have been justified with religion.
Bro there’s like 100000 books on that subject.
Great video 👍very informative as usual, I just have 1 questions so what is more important the kings word ( in the case of lady jane grey) or the case of " premogeniture" ( idk if I spelled his right 😅)
Can not wait on the coronation video.
