Wasn't sure who she was at first. I read a few stories authored by Phillipa Gregory

Her own namesake margery was married off to the king of scots before the age of 15 😂 . He ended getting killed by katherine of Arogon troops and his coat sent to Henry VIII who was on campaign in france 😂 Young girls were married young back then cuz your lifespan wasnt long like it was today .

😂😂😂😂😂😄😄😄👏👏👍👍👵🇦🇺

Marriage was a matter of political affairs not love. It was two families joining and in both male and female neither party had any choice. Also remember all that she did for him starting as a girl bring a widowed mother when she was 13

@@PaulaSB12 If you look at English history, there's a few kings who had contentious relationships with their wives. Henry II had his wife imprisoned for 16 years. It was a shock to the country that Eleanor of Aquitaine picked her sons over her husband when they rebelled against him. Then when Henry died, one of the first things the new king did was get Eleanor out of her cell, because Richard I loved his mom. Henry VII was lucky in that he loved both his mom and his wife. So much so that the death of Elizabeth of York messed him up quite a bit.

As an Englishman, I can tell you this trait is not just reserved for Kings.

@@PaulaSB12 oooooooo oooooo no

Yes, thank you. I'm suffering horribly from Novovirus (Thankfully, I know that the suffering will be brief). This is just the thing to keep me from thinking about running to the washroom.

I hope Margaret Beaufort is burning in hell with Charlemagne, King John I, King Henry III, King Edward I, King Henry VII, King Henry VIII, Marie de Medici, King Louis XIV, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI, and Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧

Do you know WHY she was bitter? I will repaste the story. FACT: THE TUDORS DYNASTY WAS FOUNDED ON ADULTERY AND ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN. Everyone seems to forget that the Tudor line started with an affair between Owen Tudor (son of a Welsh Rebel) and Queen Catherine Valois who was married to Henry V until his death of illness on the battlefield. One of Owen's sons, Edmund, married Margaret Beaufort. She was descended from one of the illegitimate children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster (a son of Edward III), and his mistress Katherine Swynford. They were given the name Beaufort after Gaunt's castle in the Champagne region of France. So, all the Tudors are trash...right up until the present day.

This video is JUNK HISTORY. Try reading some actual historical text...which thanks to the Internet is possible. Don't be lazy.

Role model, I think not.

That woman had a hard life.

Yes, a very admirable woman.

YES, yes and yes.. I so respect her story of truth.

Have a look at the video on how a nun became chinas only female emperor she was amazing but you didn’t cross her

And a manipulative narcissist

@@DL-od4su Manipulative sure, there must have been either a lot of promises or a lot of manipulation (maybe both) with her last husband, who while was the one to make the decisive move in the battle in Henry’s the VII favor, she was the ”brains” behind it. She kept committing treason after treason knowing well the repercussions and escaped by sheer luck the execution by Richard the III (well luck or his dumb confidence that her husband will stay on his side). But one thing is being something and wanting something and another against all odds achieving this something which is the throne of England for her son. I don't necessary like her but I do respect her ability for not only self-preservation since the moment she gave birth at 13 but already actively planning her moves to keep her son safe sending him away first with his uncle, then to exile, finding a husband who gave her access to the court first with the desire to have her (well her first husband) lands back for her son while still maintaining her son, losing that husband and finding another closer to the new king. At some point looking at the throne and thinking ”why not?” and deciding that the throne sounds better than lands that the Yorks failed to give her back. Now her being a woman in that time makes it even more remarkable. To be fair she would have made better job ruling England than her son definitely much better work than her grandson. I like to think that Elisibath the I of England got her smarts and intelligence from the females of her family like her grand grand mother and mother. She certainly didn't got her brain form her father, her temper indeed is his.

Detailed except for the part about her being twelve when her husband decided it was time to consummate their marriage, leaving her mutilated when she gave birth at thirteen. Cold marriage was common then, but it was also common for the marriage to NOT be consummated until the girl grew into a healthy teenager, at the least.

Couldn’t agree with u more!!’

I wonder if she would have approved his grand son seeking a divorce.

@@scottscottsdale7868 I think she would of been adamantly against it, n I bet she would of scared Anne off lol

@@jessrosefawkes2721 maybe not, as the obsession for an heir to carry on the line ran so deep. I believe Henry got this obsession from her. She wanted to make sure the Tudor line was secure.

@@trekstarsam2494 that’s a very good point, I didn’t even think of it that way. So yes I think your right, I still Dont think Margaret would of liked Anne though especially as Anne was a supporter of lutherism and Margaret was a devout catholic. But I sometimes wonder if Anne didn’t really care about lutherism and she just supported it cos it went against the church and she needed Henry to get the divorce.

Thanks for that.

And of course, her son is KING. The absolute apex of courtier life. No doubt she loved him, a lot, but she also sent him into battle🤷‍♀️

She's absolutely amazing as a noble woman. She hit the ground running at 12 years old, a mother and widow at 13 years old.

​@@mangot589 to save face she had to send him into battle. No mother wants her son sent to battle to jeopardize his life but look at the times.

@@mangot589 she had to kill 5 people. The war of the roses was over. Her son had been pardoned and invited back to England. She restarted the war only to kill the last york and place her son She did not end. She risked her son because she was a fanatic and wanted power for herself so she started another battle and the war who would continue in forms of rebellions in Henry’ reign. So she did not solve anything she just was obsessed

more like a mothers ambition i would say

Well said, I couldn't say it better❤❤I am so glad someone sees that Elizabeth I is so much like her! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Are you referring to the boys in the tower ?

@@murderfaery5715 Yes, that is the one they are talking about in the comment...A claim that has 0 basis on sources, and that was invented in this century...(I was once studying history and the first source to mention her as guilty for the princes was in the mid 1600s, like 2 centuries later , from a Protestant, who claimed that she did witchcraft to them...If someone thinks this source reliable then idk🤦🏼‍♀)

@@murderfaery5715 while I enjoyed her stories, Gregory wrote stories based around what she thought happened. She has so much female hatred against each other that has little to no basis in facts. The boys in the tower were just a tiny part of her exaggerations. Imo, Gregory has some of her own issues she needs to work through with her hatred of women

Understandable, I only asked because I haven't yet read her work.

I've learned a new word! Thanks

I hope Margaret Beaufort is burning in hell with Charlemagne, King John I, King Henry III, King Edward I, King Henry VII, King Henry VIII, Marie de Medici, King Louis XIV, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, King Edward VIII, King George VI, and Prince Philip. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧

I hope Margaret Beaufort is burning in Hell with her son, King Henry VII, grandson King Henry VIII, King John, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, Prince Philip, etc. I hope Prince William will burn in Hell with Margaret Beaufort. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧

I guess it’s good someone thinks so.

No it's part of England's heritage.

@@cplmpcocptcl6306 I hope Margaret Beaufort is burning in Hell with her son, King Henry VII, grandson King Henry VIII, King John, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Queen Victoria, Prince Philip, etc. I hope Prince William will burn in Hell with Margaret Beaufort. 👗👠👑💍🇬🇧

My fraternal great grandmother was a Beaufort born in Thibideau, Louisiana.

i know mike from canmore

This great lady is in my family tree also. I am fascinated by what I have learned from this video. I know more than I did before, which is more favourable than I’ve found out in my previous research of her. Thank you so much.

Seriously?

Seriously?

@@mariakelly90210 twice? Seriously?

Seriously and she as a 13 year old made a marriage to start her plan to get her son on the throne AT 13

@@PaulaSB12 No her mother had the plan to get her married and pregnant. But she was a horrible woman, a war monger and murderer.

I love Shadow of the Tower. James Maxwell is my Henry vii

I am going to try to check that out. You should watch the White queen and the White princesses. Very good series.

The only good portrayal of her 😭😭😭

@@sfguidry1959 after watching the 'spanish princess' i am now very interested in margaret pole ~ i like how these series pique my interests further ~

me too-dor

I mean no disrespect, but when I read your comment I thought it said Turdophile😊😂

It's actually by ANYA SETON

@@rachelhenderson2688 my bad, yes Anya Seton

Thanks!

Yes! I second this recommendation! The book is absolutely fantastic.

Is It a fiction or a historical novel? I mean is it written in Philippa Gregory's style or what?

Well, I would think the people raising him in his formative years, wherein Margaret only saw him for a week, were more to be credited . . . .

No, she didn't. Katherine Swynford and Catherine of Valois founded the Tudor dynasty through adultery. Katherine Swynford established the Beaufort line through her relationship with the Duke John of Gaunt. She eventually married him and legitimized the line. Also, Queen Catherine of Valois (Henry V's wife) and Owen Tudor (a commoner) turned Tudor blood into royalty. Without this background, Margaret Beaufort wouldn't have been able to manipulate her son to the throne.

About time. This is needed to counter the outright slander against her in the White Princes/White Queen/Spanish Princess TV series. Those shows made her out to be one of the most evil women in history, behind every scheme (real or imagined) from the early Tudor era.

@@chad3232132 its not slander if its fiction

Me too!!

Hey cuz!

Me also, ❤ hello cousins 😻

Myself has well. Hello fellow cousins 👋

Would you like fries with that?

But think how pleased she would have been with Elizabeth I. And the fact that her descendants are still on the throne to this day, via her granddaughter Margaret instead of any grandson.

​@@whatsanenigmaNo, we have Germans on the throne today....

@@eileenbrazil8039 True. But those Germans descend also from Henry 7.

The series White Princes/White Queen/Spanish Princess made me want to pull my hair out with how they re-wrote history, making her out to be one of the most evil women in history.

@@chad3232132 actually she wasn't an evil woman. More like a schemer who had to play the role of an anti-villain in the story. Besides there were many theories of her personality and we all did not know her well so chances are she could be that or not.

Tremendously strong, tenacious, loving mother. One great woman.admirable.

i never admired her ~ i felt bad for her because of what she had to go thru as a child bride & then a horrendous childbirthing as a result of the cruelty of the tymes ~

This video has closed captions.

@@PeopleProfiles Thank you for responding! For some reason it was greyed out when I first clicked on the video. I have refreshed and it is there.

Same with his mother. 😢

We added subtitles on upload, they may take a while to appear. They are there though.

Mine work.

Hit upper right. Select settings wheel. Choose captions. Then select English or desired language. This works for most videos.

@@PeopleProfiles 🙏🏻 Thanks so much! Especially for those with CORRECT spelling! (Auto-generated subtitles make me cringe, e.g. reading about Henry the Eighth and his second wife, Ann Berlin, aka Amber Lyn 🙄😏😂) You're doing great work, making history accessable and INTERESTING. I'm glad I SUBBED! 👍

​@@gingerhadley thank you...

Actually Margaret was 11 when she married. Her wedding dress had to be stuffed with padding because Margaret was not developed but still had a child's body.

How awful. No wonder she learned so much , at such a tender age.

or unfortunate

Elizabeth I!

Isabela schemed against her own child so no Margaret is not even in that same league. She worked to protect her child and bring him home

and these are non fiction by the way

You get the feeling that Philippa Gregory really hated Margaret. At no point in any of her poor excuses for books can she admit that precious Richard iii is guilty of anything. And then to claim her book is the true account of history is just annoying

@@colecolettecole tell that to the author. She believes her account of events are the true accounts

@@cherrytraveller5915she can believe her own delusions but historical facts are facts.

Perfect history? No such thing. Because history is from the author's perspective and not based on the reality of the entire situation.

There is one; I think I've seen it; perhaps it was an episode of a series.
