I really like and appreciate your careful narration-making sure every word is pronounced correctly-and the way it flows. Thank you!
😍😍
Yeah. He’s good.
I also like and appreciate that pretty face and passion for history
Accept when you need him to hurry the heck up and take faster. 😅
I love that movie how the hell did I not realize this?😂
Thank you!
Vivien Leigh portrayed Emma in 1941's "That Hamilton Woman", opposite Laurence Olivier, who portrayed Nelson. It was reportedly Winston Churchill's favourite film.
uuuuh, that looks like an interesting movie to watch.
Fabulous film, well worth watching! ⚓
Vivien Leigh played Emma Hamilton in a film, "That Hamilton Woman " with Lawrence Olivier as Nelson.
That was probably a GREAT movie!
@@KATHIESHOES It is!!! 👍✌
You can see the full movie here: ruclips.net/video/evl7ldotkRI/видео.html
Love that movie
That was Winston Churchills favorite movie
Forgotten Lives is one of the best channels on YT. Thank you for the time and patience you give each video in telling the story of people who have largely been forgotten.
I'm glad this channel exists. I learn a lot about the world I didn't know about.
I am related to Lady Hamilton....my Maternal Grandmother is Dorothea Joan Hamilton. She had a brooch with a picture of Lady Hamilton, that has been passed down through the family....she passed it onto my Mother who still has it now 🥰🙏
This Lady Emma does not play around! I imagine she was the Marilyn Monroe of her day. She pulled off a feat only a handful of women have done, have her hubby and her lover 2gether at peace under the same roof! And Her lover leaving his wife for her is just..wow.
Another great episode. I could stare at this man for hours lol. Anyway I'm definitely finding every book about this woman that's out there I want more juicy details 😊
But she fall until the end of her life karma is real
@@ronaldjaictin5176 yes u are right 😞
she is Emma, Lady Hamilton though. Lady Hamilton meaning you are untitled and wife of a baronet or knight or Sir, Lady Emma indicated you are wayyyyy higher and daughter of Duke, Earl, or Marquess
Fun Fact: Not only did Emma’s husband knew about the affair with Nelson, but he was surprisingly open-minded about it, considering the time they lived in.
I think (yes this is speculation but it makes sense) her husband was not sterile but just gay. There wasn´t a word for it, so it would not have been reported as such. He couldn´t care less who she was with and maybe even fancied him himself.
Have you ever heard about libertines? People back then, in the upper classes especially, were not that close-minded.
That's just weird.
Especially since the three lived in the same home.
@@nelsonkaiowa4347 What garbage. You're trying put a sleazy modern day spin on it. Look: she was 32 , her husband was 67 and Nelson was 40 and already a much admired national hero when he entered the picture. Her husband simply turned a blind eye to the affair, for obvious reasons.
You have a lovely voice.
Thank you for bring history and people's lives back into the light again.x
Forgotten Lives and a cup of tea. Perfect timing for dinner. 😊 Thank you for another marvelous upload.
Another amazing story from British history from rags to riches when life was hard for the poor! Great images !
But she crossed the line when she entered in a relationship and the fact their both married,in the end she fall and her life become miserable
Her beauty amazed me
she went from rags to riches to rags again
@@Satu-zs7gmdamn man don’t ruin it 😂
I put these on at night before I go to sleep, I love how you have such a passion for story telling.
Yas! Emma is underrated. Our age does not deserve her.
Hello! I have been "binge watching" these for a couple of weeks, and finally caught one brand new. Thank you very much -- I am quite ill, even too much to hold a book sometimes, so your films are very enjoyable.
Wishing you better health!
Hope u feel better soon love from Ireland
@@KATHIESHOES thank you, this is so kind!
@@bluebellmcloughlin Thank you for your kindness to me!
Feel better soon
Love the way you tell these stories, so enjoyable.
Thank you so much for telling the stories of so many interesting women. Historians often forgets and undervalue the lives of women. So it’s so amazing and appreciated to hear you tell the stories about these incredible women 🤍.
Such a professional researcher and narrator of history. I like how you recreate their lives and bring past history to life. What about Caribbean history where our past is indelibably linked to Europe, especially England?
I remember her best from the movie, That Hamilton Woman, with Vivien Leigh. Gorgeous.
How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day?
Thanks for commenting... Your comments are worth viewing hope you're safe from the pandemics season??
I enjoyed this story about, Lady Emma Hamilton, I've heard of her love affair with, Admiral Nelson. I never knew that her husband, Lord Hamilton was fully aware and accepted his wife's affair. Also, I would like to know what happened to Lady Hamilton's daughter, that she had by Admiral Nelson. Great investigating, as usual.
She married a clergyman, lived a relatively tranquil life and their descendants are still around.
she was not Lady Emma Hamilton, she was Emma, Lady Hamilton
Emma, Lord Hamilton and Lord Nelson really sound like they were so happy living all together. It's sad that people couldn't just leave them alone.
Hamilton treated his wife like crap so I don’t feel too bad for him.
I suppose his wife meant nothing.
You realize that arrangement destroyed Nelson’s family, right? He was married, his wife was put aside so he could do what was fun for him, while ignoring his family duty. Or maybe you think his children should have just left him alone so he could be happy, while they were miserable?
@@snowwhite5842 it's not a crime to take a mistress, which emma was and she was already married, so it's like the most "respectable" affair
@@Satu-zs7gmBasically, it's not a crime to cheat as long as the man was cheating. Never mind both Nelson and Emma treated the wife poorly. She also talked crap about Nelson's son...Karma really did something.
A lovely face with a lovely voice telling lovely story. The perfect RUclips channel.
Its a disgrace how she was left. All Nelson asked was that they take care of her. He died saving the damned country. They didnt even do that for him. Much pomp for the British hero but not much succor.
These videos are really relaxing! great narration ~~ I can have this on and hear a fascinating story about someone's life while working/cleaning/etc, love the pacing.
These short vignettes are beautifully presented and give an excellent summary of so many interesting historical figures. Thank you Muchas gracias 🌟
There's an old movie called THAT HAMILTON WOMAN. it tells this story beautifully
Thanks for shedding light to her story, such a talented girl treated just like a pretty sourveiner for unkind aristocratic men to brag about. When she finally meets someone of her own caliber and thinks she'll be happy.. he dies a hero and she is forgotten when even Nelson would admitt that without, her he would never been the hero for Britain. PS: I feel bad for Nelson's wife, that was disgusting.
Oh wow I always loved his voice but had no idea he was so good looking
Yeah a young man brown complexion
@@ronaldjaictin5176 And your point is???
Absolutely love this channel!
The history geek in me is grinning from ear-to-ear!
Bravo @ForgottenLives 👏💗😁
I guess I'm quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?
@Zayden Lennox lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
I appreciate all your research and the information of forgotten people! Very interesting people worth acknowledging. Thank you
A nice add on of a documentary I have seen on tv. I just wonder what happened to Emma's child.
Yess!!! Me, too!!!
She was raised by Nelson's relatives and went on to marry and have her own family, she knew that Nelson was her biological father but Emma had told her that she was only her "guardian" and Horatia chose to believe it, Emma died when she was 14.
@@omfug7148 Wonderful!!! So Happy to hear Horatia was part of the family!!! Emma was a distant, cold mother to have done that!!! Thank You for such a relatively happy ending, afterall...
Hello Gayle… Emma was one of the least ‘cold’ people you could imagine… The reason she did not emphasise the fact that she was Horatia’s biological mother to her, and to the wider world in general, was because she did not want her daughter to be stigmatised and shunned as she had been by British society (she was lowborn, the daughter of a blacksmith but rose to high society), and she thought that life would be easier for Horatia if People regarded her simply as the daughter of the highly esteemed naval hero. It was a totally sacrificial gesture on her part as of course she loved her daughter, as she was the only legacy she had of the love of her life Lord Nelson. Even when they were in debtors prison, she spent what little money she had on piano lessons for Horatia, so that she would have the required accomplishments to be part of society as a lady.
I adore Emma! She was the power behind Lord Nelson. Without Emma he would have been nothing.
Thanks for this one! It's wonderful!
Another informative video! Can you do a video on Mary Seacole? ✨
Have you covered Anne Damer? She was a contemporary of Emma in similar social circles and was a famous sculptor. Emma Donoghue’s novel Life Mask is based on her life and I think she would make an amazing subject.
Your channel is so enlightening and informative ☺️
Thank you FLives for another amazing work! Love them all!
Hi Elke, Hope you're soon leaping your gate. 🤗🍁🌹🍀🌲

Thank you Ana, appreciate that. It will take a while, but i got the patience. Wish good night💙🌆🤗🌻

*Greetings from SOCHI! A beautiful woman and her love story watched to the end died 49 years*
Not only do you tell a great story, you also inform a lot of details about history. Thankyou.
Very romantic story. Well done. Thanks.
I am always excited to hear about Horatio Nelson, even if he's just mentioned, because we are related lol
I have been watching your channel on and off for a while and decided to check back in today. It just so happened that I watched this video, the first of yours in which I have seen your face as opposed to narration only. And I was surprised at how young you appear. I had taken you for an older individual as your voice is rather well rounded and your tone and manner of speech carries a sort of character and wisdom. So as you can imagine, I was surprised, but in a pleasant way. I just wanted to say I love your work and the fact that someone who is seemingly young like you is able to create such beautiful work is inspirational. Keep up the quality videos.
Bravo! Very well written, artistically illustrated and beautifully narrated. Thank you...I listen daily.
Just in time! Keep up the awesome work!
The historical fiction novel Too Great a Lady is based on the life of Emma Hamilton. It was how I first learned of her, and though it’s rather short for such a full life, I would recommend it.
My daughters name is Emma Hamilton we named her after lady Emma and my husbands surname is Hamilton thank you for another interesting video
That's wonderful :D
Love your well-researched and well-produced historical videos!

"That Hamilton woman", is a top notch film with Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier. Beautifully filmed! The only one that I ever watched. I must watch the others you mentioned. Lady Hamilton was a beauty!! I have never seen the real Lady Hamilton til today. Thank you!! So worth the watch!! ❤️
Thanks for fascinating content and all the beautiful paintings you include!
Thank you for all your wonderful tales of the past! Very enjoyable!
I like these walks through history. Good narrating.
Hello Janie, how are you doing?
@@jameshurst8529 Doing well.
@@janiesanders6624 it's nice to hear from you. Where are you from if i may ask?
The paintings depicted in this video were quite strikingly beautiful, but I kept seeing Vivien Leigh's face instead! It didn't end there, because the face of Horacio became that of Lawrence Olivier! Ok. I'm quite ready for your next showing of...whomever! Keep them coming is all you must do, ok? Thank you most kindly for the others you've supplied us! I've enjoyed them all!
I assume this is the Lady Hamilton that Blackadder regularly insulted.
Yes! I've always wanted you to do one on Lady Emma!
I really enjoy your stories. Thank you.
I first heard about Emma by watching a video about Horatio Nelson on the Biographics channel.
Thank you so much for your great videos. F L is such a good channel, I've learned so much history thanks to you. Love your style. 🤗🤗

Love your stories. You really do a wonderful job with your information and enjoy your telling of them.
p.s. I am sorry, but at 8:20 you miss an important chapter, that's to say the flight of the Royal Family, the Hamiltons and Nelson to Palermo and subsequent return to Naples in order to eliminate the newly born Neapolitan Republic. Nelson had an active role in the killing of the many aristocratic and/intellectuals who founded the Republic, and such a thing shocked quite a lot the public opinion all over Europe.
It was one of the reasons which led to the disappointment by the British public opinion towards him.
These videos give a great insight about history many do not know, but I would suggest you in good faith to put your sources in the description.
Thanks for the upload 🙂
Merton. Memories. Their house still stood, over a high wall from an even older church when I was growing up there were still legends such as where Nelson fell off his horse. Thanks for an interesting documentary
A great telling of her crazy story! I just came off a related video about her life in London and this fills in the gaps nicely for me. Bravo
I'm amazed by Nelson's wife to go through separation from her husband
Then he died earlier and lady Hamilton was leaving alone
I have heard a lot about her, but you made it much more interesting.😊
Seems like I don't have much to say because I'm reading other comments and I'm agreeing with them all..so I will simply say, keep up the great work...it shows how much you enjoy what you do because you just keep getting better with each new video... I'm so glad you started to show your face in the videos... I love you and your channel 💯 hug's Lynn Weasenforth 💯💜💛💙☮️ stay safe from the pandemic madness we are all going through...
Hey dear F.L.nice to see and hear you again ❤ i was so busy but better later than never .😁I would never missed one of your great historical stories 🙋♀️👋💓💓
Vivien Leigh played Emma in That Hamilton Woman, too, which is a fantastic film.
Hello Molly, how are you doing?
Superbly narrated
The lightly fictionalized novel "The Volcano Lover" about Emma Hamilton's life, by Susan Sontag is a very good read.
Confession. I binged all your vids 🤍
You are a wonderful narrator, and also very easy on the eye 😋 thankyou for your hard work, much appreciated
Thank you for making this informative story here in Yt this channel is one of the best and more informative one. Thank you for all your beautiful and meaningful stories.
You forget the 1941 film "That Hamilton Woman/Lady Hamilton" starring Vivien Leigh & Lawrence Olivier. If you haven't seen it before then I recommend it, it's a great movie. Fittingly enough, this movie was when Leigh & Olivier started their own long-term relationship, which if I remember correctly was on/off again love affair lasting until Vivien's death from alcohol related health issues.
Question: have you thought about covering the biographies of film stars who portrayed historical figures in movies? That would be cool.
A pity you didn't mention "That Hamilton Woman", with Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier. The scene where Emma hears about Nelson's death is very strong, and Leigh is a lovely embodiment of Emma Hamilton.
Fascinating story!
I love the atmosphere you created around yourself!
How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day?

Maybe Lord Hamilton thought...KNEW...Nelson was a real hero and wanted to treat him “well”...?
Waiting all day then just when I had appointment saw your video
I enjoyed that very much. Thank you!
Am I the only one who thinks this man is Truly Beautiful!🥰
Thank you for your marvelous upload !!!
Emma was very beautiful, I can understand the attraction.
👍😎Great Video!!! Thank You!!!
Excellent as always
Thank you for introducing me to Emma.
How do you not have a mil yet? Your videos are done if the best on here. Please keep it up!!
Thanks for bringing up the story of Lady Hamilton, I watched "Lady Hamilton"(1941) in 1986 from.TV channel but I have no idea of the background of that woman. I thought she was the wife of Lord Nelson.
Enjoyed!
Thank you. It was nice to hear about people from our history.
How are you doing hope you are having a wonderful day?

Nelson's paramour i'm guessing.
It's so nice to hear her story as more than just a highlight to that of Nelson. Well done and thank you!:-) 🖖
Wow this is very heartwarming and historical story!
The father of the famous English novelists Emily,Charlotte and Anne Bronte changed the family name to BRONTE to honor admiral Horatio Nelson as he was made duke of Bronte by the Neapolitan king in thanksgiving for saving his throne from the republicans."Bronte" which is ancient Greek for "thunder" is located near Mount Etna the Sicilian volcano and named because of the thunderous rumblings from that volcano.A beachside suburb of Sydney in Australia is also named BRONTE after the same dukedom.The villa and estate at Bronte belonged to the descendants of the heirs to the Nelson estate until quite recently when it was acquired by the Sicilian authorities.
If I'm not mistaken Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivian Lee starred in a movie about this lady, they were also in love with each other. Had to google it "That Hamilton Woman". I thought I knew this story. WOW!

Exactly.
Great video! I really love both of your channels.👍🏻😀

If I could hear history through this mans voice forever I'd be happy @.@ (i'llBeInMyThirstCornerBye)
