Jacquetta of Luxembourg, known more commonly as Jacquetta Woodville was a prominent, though often overlooked, figure in the Wars of the Roses as the mother of the first Yorkist queen, Elizabeth Woodville. Jacquetta’s story is fascinating in its own right, and she would become a central player in the period we now call the wars of the roses. Soon however, Jacquetta would be fighting for her life, when accusations of witchcraft were levied against her by those who wished to oust her from a position of influence, but how did it come to this in the first place? What was Jacquetta’s early life like, and why is her story one all but overlooked by history?

would it be possible to do a video about
Isabella of Portugal (: Isabel de Portugal 1397 - 1471) was Duchess of Burgundy from 1430 to 1467 as the third wife of Duke Philip the Good.
Their son was Charles the Bold, the last Valois Duke of Burgundy...
Born a Portuguese infanta of the House of Aviz, Isabella was the only surviving daughter of King John I of Portugal and his wife Philippa of Lancaster. She served as the regent of the Burgundian Low Countries during the absence of her spouse in 1432 and in 1441-1443. Isabella served as her husband's representative in negotiations with England regarding trade relations in 1439 and those with the rebellious cities of Holland in 1444.
her daughter in law, was duchess MAGRET OF YORK... also her cousin,
her other cousin was duchess cecily rose of raby york & countess of richmond, mater rex magret beaufourt...
Isabellla claimed, to be heir to KING HENRY VI, the 6th...of lancaster...
was she really the cousin and mother in law from hell to duchess magaret of york?
just to complicate, a already complicated war of the roses* cousins... a possible child of duke charles the bold...with duchess magaret of york...
may have made another line of lancastrian & yorkist union before 1485, almost certainly a rival line to the tudors, and a ISABELLA OF AVIZ PORTUGAL & LANCASTER...is the forgotten lancastrian & john of gaunt ancestry...
