Royals who Died of Bubonic Plague 

Agree, the phrase really captured that feeling of helplessness mediaeval people must have felt, especially when religion failed them.

People died of a chill back then 😅

They were not immune of it either.

How many years did the black death drag on?

Lmao

You know if the plague didnt affect the royalty we probably still have it now

And her grandfather, Peter I, Count of St. Pol also died from the plague.

Interesting

Thanks for the updated information.

I don't believe so.

What did the letter say? That’s interesting:)

That woman needs her own biopic segment.

Women like her don't get enough notice and respect.

​@@leeannproctor47 Who,Anne Of Bohemia?

Who Are You Referring To,Anne Of Bohemia?

They won the war, but keeping at least one more full-fledged one from breaking out took some skirmishes and mafia-esque housekeeping, shall we say?

@@jonathancarlson6127 Yes, I think we can definitely say.

Henry the 7th killed everyone you mentioned except for Margret Pole. Margret Pole was killed by order of Henry the 8th because she was mother of cardinal Reginald Pole, allies of his daughter Queen Mary

@@jessicacarrillo1634 Very true: I did say it was Henry VIII, though it's all in one paragraph, which may have confused.

​@@jessicacarrillo1634I thought he executed her as she refused to recognise him as head of the church of England..

I know what documentary you're talking about, it included reenactment of the events. Before she was sent off, there must have been some talk in England about the sickness creeping across the continent. It's a shame Edward III was not aware of how severe it was and that passing along messages back then took so long. Also, instead of stopping in France, I wonder how them going directly to Spain would've worked out (though it was already there too).

Joan was supposedly Edward's favorite child.

Yep, he wasn't a king in that letter, just a father mourning the loss of his child!

@@lebou9540 Joan's traveling party was warned about the plague and was told it was too dangerous to pass through France, but they pressed on, and Joan's death was the result!

​. A long and dangerous sea jouney was a thing to be avoided back then.

Henry vii had a father, who was dead at the time of his birth of, well you know, he was 26, and his mother was 13. His mother outlived Henry by about 2 months

The amount of kings this woman has seen crowned in her life. And she saw not only her own child but also her grandson be crowned king.

They were raped, but that was the norm. Girls who got their periods/menstrual cycles were classified as adults, and forced to marry elder men

Sadly it was quite normal. Girls were married off from the age of 12, if they were older than 16 they were deemed ‘old’😡

And so many died in childbirth. I would have hid in a monastery, that's for sure.

That is awesome!

​@@LindsayHolidayhave you read the book of the duchess?

Wonder if Italy was saved from the ottoman empire by the bubonic plague?

Literally the same for me. I feel like people look over history as nothing, but it can be so interesting if you take the time to

History Have you been turned on to the best American military vids? That would be the Fat Electrician. Start with Most gangster politician you've never heard of.

I ❤️ her! ⚰️

Me too!!! We miss our Death Mama ‘s well researched death videos!

​​@@LindsayHolidaywill you please do a part 2 with the German, Hungarian, Greek, and Polish royals.

Will there be a part 2 cause I'm sure there were more royals and nobles who perished.

Tænker at en royal grav tiltrækker pilgrimme, hvilket der kan tjenes gode penge på, så det giver vel god mening, omend det virker skørt...

That's a woman who should have a tv show.

@@leeannproctor47 the story of her life is worth a great Hollywood biopic for sure.

Queen/Empress Margrethe I Of Denmark Ruled Denmark, Norway And Sweden,The Kalmar Union Was The Scandinavian/Nordic Empire!!!🇩🇰🇸🇯🇸🇪🇫🇮🇫🇴🇦🇽

also, Margarethe I wasn't considered a queen until the reign of Margarethe II. She styled herself something like a regent for her son

Her afterlife is better than the sultan and the guards who killed her.

@user-fg9xz4bz3b but their death wasn't as brutal she was humiliated by the men who surve the sultan who killed her family

Pedro the cruel was despicable too.

Wow, thanks!

​@@LindsayHolidaydid the middle east also suffered from the black death?

@@user-fg9xz4bz3b idk you mean Arabs?

​@@LindsayHolidaywhich country do you think got it the worst?

Jeanne of burgundy was a smart lady.

Blanche of Lancaster seemed like a real beauty.

They literally may have found the little boys bodies recently. They found 2 kids skeletons. So yeah he killed them.

thank you for this!!! so glad someone said it, otherwise I’d have had to do it myself and I don’t have the energy lol. richard was a good king and perhaps the most unfairly maligned person in english history. so odd seeing otherwise solid historical channels still repeating centuries old propaganda unquestionably.

@@mariawhite7337no, he didn’t. there have been dozens of occasions in which people have claimed to find the princes. in some of these cases, they were apparently grown men who went on to live long (ish) lives. we simply do not know. and repeating unsubstantiated rumours is not a good way to approach history. the first record of ANY accusations regarding richard and the princes came from french propaganda at the time. they then traveled from france with henry tudor, who weaponised them AFTER richard’s death in order to discredit him. he was a very popular king in his time and even more so before his crowning, when he served as an important political figure in his brother’s reign. I’ll never understand why people are so willing to believe the word of gossiping political enemies when it comes to *this* monarch, but not others. the tudors and their extremely weak claim to the english throne are just really goddamn compelling I guess. I can’t help but to think that his physical disability is a factor. it was very very easy for henry tudor to discredit richard, not just as a king but as a PERSON, with the reveal of richard’s incredibly advanced scoliosis. richard was paraded, naked, on horseback, and then publicly displayed and decried as a monster to the public because of his appearance. THAT was henry tudor’s greatest weapon of propaganda. and it had to be, because his claim to the throne was noticeably weaker than richard’s and everyone knew it. no one wanted a cripple for a king, and then shakespeare came along and cemented that years later. the two things people still think they “know” about richard III came to us directly from his political enemies. that he was a nasty old hunchback, and that he imprisoned (and worse, apparently) his own nephews. in actuality, he was in his early 30s when he died, no one knew about his scoliosis while he lived because he dressed to hide it very convincingly (despite likely being in incredible pain every day of his life) and the princes in the tower are more fiction than fact. I find it funny how no one talks about henry tudor and his successors having much stronger and more valid motivations for getting those princes out of the way. what do people think they would have done if they’d gotten their hands on those boys? henry would have buried them without a second thought lol. or do we reeaally believe that he just got rid of richard for altruistic reasons, and never would have touched a hair on the heads of the little york boys if *they* were on the throne at the time of his campaign. we do not know when/how they died. we probably never will. we DO know that if they lived longer than Richard, and their location had been known to the tudors, they’d have had the chance of a cinder in snow at survival. the end. 👍

Absolutely..! Just a little more nasally in the “ã” and it will be perfect 💪🏻 it’s really hard for non-speakers to say it 😅

I didn't see any African royals.

Northern Africa was well known to Europe.

I've never heard of this?

@@user-fg9xz4bz3b Last year the UK and Portugal celebrated the 650th anniversary of the Alliance.

She must have been overjoyed when Luigi died.

Philippa of Lancaster an ancestor of queen isabel of castile?

Yes. Her granddaughter, Isabella, was the second wife of John II of Castile and was the mother of Queen Isabella and Infante Alfonso.

I second that.

Definitely liked who she picked.

I really like Lindsay's voice.

Congrats on 1 million subscribers.

I absolutely agree.

War of the roses was also called the cousins war.

That is a horrible nursery rhyme.

@@user-fg9xz4bz3b it’s from horrible histories

That's horrid, but true.😅

Margrethe wasn't a queen but an empress.

Death saved Joan from a horrible marriage to Pedro.

@@user-fg9xz4bz3bsounds like you’re saying that Pedro would’ve violently abused Joan?

Pedro was known to history as Pedro the Cruel.

The little children broke my heart.

The no good husbands not at all.

@@user-fg9xz4bz3b what do you mean?

Never get tired of finding historical biopic podcasts.

I didn't know this podcast had been around that long.

I like the illustrations.

Lindsay did an excellent job.

Bubonic or Spanish Influenza makes covid small.

Still I’d MUCH rather be alive now than back then

2010s were like ten thousand times worse

It was definitely a chaotic time.

@@user-fg9xz4bz3bindeed

I agree with you.

I'm into that.

It's terrible for child brides.

That annoyed me.

What about Egypt?

​@@user-fg9xz4bz3b Ibn al-Akfani was a Kurdish Encyclopedist who worked at Cairo and died of the plaque. Al-Hakim II the Fifth Abbasid Caliph of the Mamluk Sultanate.

Anne of Bohemia is someone I wonder who she would have been if she outlived her husband?

@user-fg9xz4bz3b that's something to hypothesize.

Is Navarre considering getting back their sovereignty?

@@leeannproctor2966 It’s an autonomous region. Navarre and a couple others kind of like being “independent,” but it seems so confusing. Kind of like states in US. But Castille-Leon, Greater Madrid, and Andalusia seem like “yeah, we’re real Spain.” It’s odd. I saw a lot of graffiti in Navarre and LaRioja about hating the king on the Camino de Santiago. Whereas, a lot of people know that the Camino is what pays the bills. Again, it’s weird. I was also in Barcelona when they were protesting tourists. I know that’s more than you asked, but I found it interesting how the changes could be seen along the Camino route.

Me too.

Ditto.😊

Not for me.

Queen philippa of England didn't die from the bubonic plague.

Does anyone know what the sweating sickness was?

​@@user-fg9xz4bz3b there are plenty of theories about it, but nothing is certain, that's why I think it would be an interesting video

@@user-fg9xz4bz3b arguably excellent question

Scheduling mistake 🤷‍♀️

​@@LindsayHolidayI just glad I can see this.

He reminds me of the 2nd and 3rd husband of queen Mary Stewart.

Duh it’s obvious

@@jaydoubleu3419 😄😄😄

@jaydoubleu3419 apparently it's not always obvious to those who feel their status makes them somehow invincible😄

That's a wonderful idea!

That was a woman boss!

She did have a child but died before puberty and she chose to not remarry.

@@user-fg9xz4bz3b yes. But she adopted her sister’s grandson, Bugislaw of Pomerania, who was renamed to Erik and was named the new King of Denmark-Norway, and later the King of the Kalmar Union. He was however not the King Margrete had hoped him to be and after she died, everything started to fall apart. And when it got to tough, he fled to the Mediterranean and became a pirate. It’s from him the Danish saying “Det går ad Pommern til” derives from. “Pommern” being the Danish name for Pomerania, and the saying is for how really, really bad a situation can be. He had no children. The throne was passed to his cousin, Christoffer of Bavaria, but he too didn’t have children. Instead it passed to a descendant of King Erik the V of Denmark, Christian the I, who in 1448 created the Oldenburg dynasty that would rule Denmark until 1863 after which the male line died out, Norway until 1814 when Denmark was forced to give up Norway, and Sweden until 1520, because King Christian the II instigated the Bloodbath of Stockholm, which was the final nail in the coffin that was the Kalmar Union. Christian the II was forced off the throne in 1523 and was replaced by his uncle, King Frederik the I, whom, even though after 1863 a new dynasty came to be in Denmark and later Norway, the Danish and Norwegian royal families are direct descendants of.

She was a mistress first so I side with Blanche.

John cheated on his wife so she was taken from him.

The funny thing is that Katherine knew Blanche as she was governess to Blanche's children- they loved Katherine even when she was being hated for being John's mistress and wife- and adored Blanche as a dear friend besides being her mistress, no pun intended. So she would've also done the memorials with John even while she was his mistress and as his wife. Though maybe she still would've been a little hurt that John got buried with Blanche but at least she knew that John loved her as much as he had loved Blanche.

Uhhhh imagine how Blanche felt when he was having an affair with Kathrine, Kathrine is not the victim here

@Mirandaconklin I heard that John stayed faithful to Blanche all their marriage and that it was while he was married to his second wife, Constance of Castile, that he made Katherine his lover. John also knew Katherine ever since she was a child because she was a lady in his mother's household but only made her his mistress when she was widowed from her husband and an adult.

I would love to know of the sultanas of the ottoman empire.

I think it's kinda gothic.

I'm surprised to not seeing vampires.

Where did the bubonic originated from?

And Manuel I of Portugal too, I think?

Very brilliant idea.

Sounds fishy too me.

Yes, it was Stillington Bishop of Bath and Wells.

Is lichtenstein a kingdom or duchy?

I would so much watch a movie about her.

I find her fascinating.

Did the plague save europe from the Mongols?

This vlog has piqued my interest.

Very interesting.

That sucks.

I believe he died from pneumonia or the sweating sickness.
