The Stuart Queens & Consorts of England 6/8 

Apparently ‘kissing in the Scottish fashion’ can also refer to getting head- butted, which is a really hilarious visual

Pregnant for 17 times and lost almost all of her children. I couldn't even fathom the level of her depression and desperation. Hats off to her strength to stand right there and wear that heavy crown.

That awkward moment when your dad introduces his new wife to you as a "new play-fellow" because she's only a few years older than you 😬

Henry VIII: My wife only gave me a daughter, get rid of her! Charles II: My wife hasn’t given me a single living child, I’d rather keep her.

I feel so bad that most of them experienced miscarriages or lost their children in infancy. Especially Queen Anne and her husband George lost so many children.

Let's face it: fictional drama doesn't stand a chance against real life drama 😂

I feel so sorry for all of the women putting up with with all these men and especially the loss of their children....so sad indeed 😔😢

Dang. There was so many still births and miscarriages! I can't even imagine. I lost 2 of my 5 and that was enough for me shy away from having anymore. Lord bless those tough women.

Damn, all of these are really depressing; - Anne of Denmark was refused to see her children and had a husband who didn't care at all about her. - Henrietta Maria was despised in England and her husband was executed. - Catherine of Braganza desperately wanted children but couldn't have them and meanwhile her husband fathered over a dozen children with his mistresses. - Mary of Modena was a child bride who wasted all her money trying to help her son succeed the throne. - Prince George lost all of his children and gained a horrible and undeserved historical reputation.

When you realise that Charles I and Henrietta Maria are the English version of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette

Not gonna lie, Henrietta Maria sounds like a badass

Wow i've always thought that Queen Anne and Prince George's relationship weren't really good, glad to hear that they actually got along!

Poor George of Denmark. Even Ms. Holiday thinks he was so insignificant that she misnamed him twice (James and William).

George, Queen Anne's consort sounds like a completely secure guy, not interested in macho posturing.

It’s great to see my descendants ruling two great nations after my cousin had me beheaded!

Poor George, he was called the wrong name not once but twice in this video

I live in Maryland, didn't know it was a haven for persecuted Catholics! But now it makes much more sense that the very first cathedral ever built in the U.S. is located here in Baltimore.

Smallpox was such a terrifying scourge. It has changed the course of history so many times.

I love just scrolling through the comments and seeing the royal drama

Anne certainly came into her own by the end. Henrietta did not deserve all that hate. Glad her husband stuck by her and refused to give into pressure.

Okay, but the dedication of the royal accounts in the comments. *Chefs kiss

Love is red, The lost head is blue, The Civil war happened again, But with Charles 1.

There needs to be a costume drama of Anne's life, either a movie or a miniseries. I had no idea she was so interesting!

I really want a video about the Mistresses of Charles II.

Poor Queen Anne! Her story has always "torn at my heart strings," (as the saying goes) but I thought she had 18 pregnancies, not 17. I read a book about her, admittedly a long time ago, in which the author said that out of all Anne's children, only 2 of them lived past the age of 5. I can't remember their names but she had a boy and a girl who lived until they were around 8 years old. When these children were very young Queen Anne had an artist paint miniature portraits of them and - after they too died 😢 - she carried the little paintings around with her always, and when she died they were buried with her. Very sad.

My Beloved Daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, You should've continued our Great Dynasty, Stuarts coming ended are perfect history, Great Daughters showing strength.

So brutal that while Mary of Modena was ill people were already plotting to see which new wife should replace her.

Wow! I’m so thankful that you talked about someone from my country, Lindsay. Thank you very much about Catherine of Braganza’s story.

Oh dear Lord! I can't imagine the pain of losing one child, much less 16! Wow!

I'm from Queens and now I know that it was Queen Catherine of Portugal who inspired it.

Honestly, George sounds like a pretty chill and good guy to have a beer with

I feel so bad about Queen Anne of Denmark Miscarried her baby, her husband's cruelty like I feel her

Aww bless her, I losted 3 babies myself, I no the pain she felt, god bless her.

I used to think lowly of George of Denmark, but now that I know him better, he was a good man. He didn’t seem to mind his wife’s lover and didn’t try to take power from her.

I love how Catherine of Braganza looks like she doesn't give a fuck about anything at all.

"Most epic matrimonial brawls in history." Summary: Never mess with a German.

“Intense Friendship” is the new historians will call them roommates

Roses are red, Scotland's colour is Blue, My dynasty is still alive, And hopefully with Mary, Elizabeth and Henry here So are you

Greetings and blessings from San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, Perú.

Imagine a whole fantasy show based on this and ALLLL of those other videos

Hi Lindsay!! Could you please do a video about Maria Leopoldina, the First Empress of Brazil? She was really interested in sciences and she is still a national icon here

I LOOOOOOVE this series. Keep it up with the good work,Lindsay.

The Stuart consorts always interested me

Who else watched the Favourite about Queen Anne and her female lovers? It’s one of my Favorite movies! (Buh Dum Tss!!)

Ironically, George was a loving and supportive husband who let his Wife shine, Albert controlled and dominated Victoria under the guise of _love_

SHE NEVER MISSES BOYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH

Like a true portuguese, Catarina de Bragança loved to play cards

Another excellent video! Some of this intrigue is so complicated, it gets hard to imagine what kind of family life they would have had.

i see lindsay i click

I suggest a video of Charles II's mistresses like the one about Henry VIII. WHO'S WITH ME?!!!

Hey everyone! Catarina here! What a shame my Husband cheated on me so many times, at least my legacy is secure with the English people, hope you like your tea!

I love that George did not care about power. I think he did very well by doing so, because I have the feeling parlement would have pushed against George gaining power.

Damn imagine having 17 babies but nobody survive to adulthood, that's sad

Im so glad I found your channel, all your content is absolutely wonderful.

Thank you for sharing! You're amazing; love your channel. Keep up this incredible work! Please never stop sharing lol 🥂

LOVE this series, so fascinating and such a treat and I CANNOT....... get enough 🥰

I love Learning about royal history because of her😊

The well known trumpet voluntary by Jeremiah Clarke, is also known as the Prince of Denmark's March, was dedicated to Queen Anne's husband.

Lindsay your videos are wonderful. As a history major I appreciate them so much and have also learned more than was in any college textbook 😊Thank you

Watching this as a big fan of "The Man Who Laughs" by Victor Hugo is quite interesting. The novel's main action takes place during the reign of Queen Anne, with the seeds of it planted during James II's rule, so all I could think of while listening to the actual history was the book's fictional plot going on in the background. The novel follows the fate of Gwynplaine, who is the illegitimate son of Lord Linnaeus Clancharlie. Lord Clancharlie supported the Republic and the people's right to rule (the novel never actually says why; I personally see him as a dreamer ahead of his time, sensing the oncoming Enlightenment era) to the point where he refused to acknowledge Charles II's restoration to the throne and exiled himself to Switzerland instead. Gwynplaine was born just after James II took the throne and, to mock the memory of the now-dead Lord Clancharlie, James ordered for Gwynplaine's mouth to be cut into an eerily comical grin "to forever laugh at his foolish father". Years later, when Anne is queen, Gwynplaine has grown up knowing nothing about his background and instead performs as a clown. He works alongside Dea, a blind girl, and the two are in love. But when Duchess Josiana, half-sister to the queen, attends one of the performances, she's immediately taken with Gwynplaine. To her, his disfigured face outwardly represents the inner loathing she feels for her life at court. Gwynplaine, in turn, is drawn to this mysterious noblewoman who can clearly see him and yet does not laugh at his face. Josiana sends Gwynplaine a letter inviting him to become her lover, but while he refuses her offer, he still gets caught in the web of court life when his aristocratic past is discovered and the nobles attempt to reinstate him to his father's titles under the assumption that he'll be an easily-controllable marionette. But Gwynplaine reveals in a speech in the House of Lords that the joke is on the aristocracy--he and Dea were raised by Ursus, a wise philosopher who taught them to see that "the paradise of the rich is made from the hell of the poor". It's a fantastic book, my favorite of Hugo's--I'm even writing a play adaptation--and I highly recommend the novel.

Henrietta Maria's story was so sad and emotional

Great ~ really enjoying all these details, have got ten me reading books on the Queens in English history with a passion💚☺️🙏🌎💫👋👋👋

It's like Christmas when Lindsay Uploads!

Thank you so much for sharing this most interesting and educational video! I learned so much today that I am so grateful to you! Thank you again! Well done indeed again!

I was on Anne’s side until she killed his dog.

HEYA!! I’m here now 😂❤️🥰

omg i was waiting for this!! yes!

Since Lindsay Holiday created videos about King Henry VIII's Mistresses, I hope she will also cover King Charles II's mistresses

My dynasty ❤️

I think Charles and Catherine just became my favorite Royal couple.

I am glad I found this channel

Poor Queen Anne 😢 She had to lose so many people she loved.

Charles II had epilepsy? Had no idea! Horrible Histories portrayed him as such a party animal. So I assumed he died from cirrhosis.

It is written as George of Denmark and read as James of Denmark.

Thank You Lindsay!💕💕

What does "kissing in the Scottish fashion" mean? I've never heard of that before

I noticed a small error but I'll correct here anyway in case anybody should be interested. On 1 May 1707 the Scottish Parliament and the English Parliament united to form the Parliament of Great Britain. Hence the Act is referred to as the Union of the Parliaments. Wales did not have a parliament as they were considered territory of England and therefore were not part of this act, furthermore Wales isn't even represented on the Union Jack

WOO-HOO IT GOT REALEASED AND IM EARLY DIDNT HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING

I think there's something wrong with the map. When showing a map of the world with portugal's colonies - one of them is Philippines in Asia. The country was never colonized by Portugal. It was actually Spain.

Wow Wonderful History. Beautiful faces, colour dresses, all are wonderful. I like this video. Thank you so much sharing this video.

I dream of the day when I am earlier than my mother lmao 😂❤️ Hey Lindsay and fellow royals! 👋

Yes, let’s give George more admiration starting by getting his name right.

Great series!!

NEW LINDSAY LET'S GOOOOO

Said he was forced to breathe hard even tho he has asthma Me who has asthma: EXFUCKINGSCUSE ME *gasps in asthma*

Is ist just me or has anyone else ever wondered, if the people shown in those paintings, actually looked like their portraits or if they were painted according to the style of art during this time. I wonder, because a lot of those royals, even though they came from different countries, have the same bulging eyes and big noses in those pictures and it leaves the question if they actually looked like their portraits or if the looks where changed according to the "painting fashion" of the time

I love hearing about these past royals. Their lives seemed exhausting, emotionless, and confusing

Now Charles II's Horrible Histories song just ringing in my head endlessly.... haha

Queen Anne Of Denmark's Encouragement Of Her Children Marrying Catholics Led To The Exclusion Of The Direct Male Line Of The Stuarts From British Throne. Their Closest Protestant Relatives,The German Hanovers Came To The British Throne. They Were Descendants Of James VI&I'S Daughter Elizabeth,Queen Of Bohemia. Her Daughter Sophia's Son,The Elector Of Hanover Became King Of Great Britain As George I,After The Death Of Queen Anne.

I’m directly related to Mary Stuart so it nice to learn a little bit more about my heritage and it’s nice to know how I got my looks. My family is related to some bad ass women

Köszönöm szépen a szervezet öngyógyító képességét és az első szerelem és félek

I enjoyed this thank u xx

I always wondered why they kept marrying foreign royal princesses with their problematic religious and political baggage, rather than marrying somebody high up in local English nobility. The Queen Mum, Diana and Kate Middleton are some of the first British Royal brides in a very long while and they turned out much better than these foreign alliances.

Small correction James was heir presumptive not heir apparent because Charles could theoretically still have children which would outrank him in the succession.

I really enjoyed this voyage in Stewart waters.

I love your videos

Do a Mistress and bastards of Charles II next

You said King James and Annes oldest son, James died at 18, but I think you meant Henry :)

22:56 & 26:45 it's hilarious and more or less a good representation of how most people think of him that you got george's name wrong

Prince William of Orange: Your a Mickle Nuisance!!! Prince George of Denmark: PAHHH!!!!
