Murderous relatives? ✔ Beautiful 14-year-old princess? ✔ Evil sister who disguises you as a servant and tries to hide you away in a nunnery? ✔ RESCUING prince? ✔✔ This story just keeps getting better and better!
Actually George hid her in a cook house. Richard rescued her and took her to a nunnery and then dealt with George. I don’t think her sister had a say in it. Women didn’t really have much power. Most didn’t. And George was a terrible person. He did seem to grieve her death though. Isabelle’s.
Amazing video! I remember the portrayal of Anne Neville on The White Queen, but it seems like the show’s portrayal of Anne is quite a departure from the historical truth. I would love to see a video on Isabelle Neville to see how her story ends, since the Neville sisters were a major part of the Plantagenet political landscape.
Thank you for this one, coincidentally I am reading the kingmakers daughter right now so listening to her story is so helpful to know what is truth and what is fiction 😊
Oh good! I read about her character in The Kingmaker's Daughter and watched her portrayed in The White Queen miniseries. I never knew much about her despite my research so thanks for making and uploading this video!
Thank you. I feel he truly loved her and she him. It’s in the records that he gave George and Isabella a lot of Anne’s money just so he could marry her. George was a greedy and spiteful brother with quite an overflated opinion of himself . I’d like the plaque of Anne that is in Westminster abbey ( so hard to find by yourself) to be put with Richard in Leicester. Let them be together again 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I have always like Anne Neville she was well portrayed oon "The White Queen" that series was very good, as Ive read all Phillipa Gregory's books and although she bends the truth a bit, I love them💕
I am LOVING that all my favorite history channels are doing videos about people involved in The Wars of the Roses, as I just started watching (again.....might be my 5th or 6th time going through this series😂) The White Queen!!!! And next up will be The White Princess, then The Spanish Princess!!!!! Thank you in advance for this amazing video!!! I haven't even watched it, but I know it'll be great!! You always put up awesome videos!!! Now! To go nerd out on history!!!!!!!!!! 🤓😁❤
I've been watching that series on Starz, but then my cable company decided to take it off my basic cable. This happened during the Spanish Princess. But I know what happened next, but still am a bit upset with my cable company.
I am fascinated with British royal history. It started with Anne Boleyn, of course, then Henry VIII and his other wives and children. Then I moved on to what, or who, came before Henry VIII, his father and The Wars of the Roses!
Aren't we all fascinated by Anne Boleyn? But she is but the tip of the ice berg. There are so many great and powerful women creating the history we know, even then. One surprising fount of strong, powerful women came from Spain. The Spanish kingdoms of the middle ages broke the stereotype of medieval culture in many ways. In the endless wars against the Muslims, it was absolutely crucial that Spanish women be strong, independent, and competent. There was too much responsibility resting on them to just be birth canals for their husbands. They had to be in charge of all the affairs that their husbands, away at war could not attend to. This was also reflected in the way that daughters were included in inheritance the same as sons. Not necessarily in lands -but in the family assets in general. It was understood that they would have huge responsibilities in making their own house holds.
Sharon Kay Penman wrote an amazing book The Sunne in Splendor about Richard and Anne-I like it more than the white Queen books, she really did a lot of research into the history and brings the story to life. all of her historical books are wonderful and highly recommended.
Sharon Kay Penman, who died a year ago, was a meticulous researcher, and her books are well worth reading along with actual biographies and histories. Read her Afterwards first. She always lets readers know about any liberties she's taken, or any fictional characters she's created.
Just watched the white Queen series on starz and by far one of my favorite English historic dramas. I’m glad that the king maker’s daughters Anne and Isabel were given their due credit for the important political roles they played in ending the war of the roses.
I have loved their story (though heartbreaking in the end) for many years and read many historical fiction books about them. Speak No Treason (two parts) is a favorite. Also they possibly cared for two of Richard’s illegitimate children conceived before their marriage as well as George’s two children after his death. Her sister had died before him. I am not certain of the accuracy of that. All indications are they loved each other dearly. George’s children in later years is another story. Also tragic.
Thanks. You're right, many portraits seem misnamed, or very poorly rendered, or random. Same for R III himself, he was more attractive than any representation up until they reconstructed him based on his actual skull.
There is a papal dispensation for Anne and Richard: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Neville "The exact date of the wedding of Anne Neville and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is not known, although most sources agree that a ceremony took place sometime in the spring of 1472 in St Stephen's Chapel in the Palace of Westminster,[7][8][better source needed] after a dispensation to marry was issued from Rome on 22 April 1472. This dispensed the impediment of affinity created when Anne married Edward of Lancaster, who was Richard's blood cousin.[9] " The effigy at Sheriff Hutton may not be of Edward; there is some argument against it, in which case, we don't know where he was laid to rest.
Papers I have read say that the French prince was murdered by Clarence's men.Not Richard.And that Clarence,being more than a bit of a bully was the one to try & keep Anne prisoner & thus inherit everything.Isabelle had nothing to do with it.
Isabel certainly couldn't have done that unilaterally even if, which seems doubtful, she wanted to. Look no further than her husband for the culprit in that inglorious episode!
Anne Neville was not a queen regnant, and therefore would not be in a list along with Mary I or Elizabeth I,nor even Boudicca. Still, interesting, thank you.
It was more complicated than that. Queens led armies into battle. Many of them ruled the kingdom when their husbands were away fighting or when their sons were too young for the throne.
@@ellynneg.6926 Still: they were breedingstock first and foremost. "leading into battle" can mean 'being physically there, or giving orders from a safe place far, far away from the battlefield'. Kingdoms were nothing more than a group of hovels and a small village in the olden days of legends, in later days it was mostly politics (the commoners still died on the battlefields, of course). Nothing has changed much...we (NL) have a queen now, and her only qualifications were that she could breed with our King (3 kids) and not be too ugly (she is gorgeous). (Her father is a war criminal, but nobody is supposed to care/talk about that ;) ) We have come a loooooong way since then... (not).
I think you're thinking of the wrong person. Richard III only had one wife Anne who did give him a son but his other children 1 son and 1 daughter were from his mistresses
