The Tragic Story of 3 Medici Girls: Lucrezia and Isabella de Medici, and Leonora di Garzia 

Correction: At the beginning of the video (16s) I say Cosimo I de Medici, Grand Duke of Florence, but should be Grand Duke of Tuscany. He was previously Duke of Florence.

Fantastic video and very informative. I feel so sad to learn the fates of these women trapped in the brutal patriarchy of the time 😢

The Medicis!!!! Love this! They were my inspiration for my trip to Florence. We visited their home and got a hotel nearby. You just got a new subscriber! I love history! Thanks for sharing! 😊

All of this is so interesting! I first became interested in the Medici family after watching a docudrama series about them, as well as a few short documentaries. I later learned that I may be a descendant of Henri II and Caterina, but have not had much time to study and learn for certain. I am a member of an ancestral organization, so much of my ancestry has been confirmed, but when one begins to learn about these people and their fascinating lives (both good and bad), it still seems more like good fiction!

Wow, such tragedies. I find myself thinking after I watch one of your videos like these, how I’d manage if I were in the position of the figures you mention. Very sad & thought provoking stories! 🙏🏼🤔⏳🦉💀🌹

Excellent love the fact I have no real knowledge of these people and you are telling me something new

Just found your channel. It's a perfect breath of fresh historical air Thanks 🎉

The double standards are appalling!

I don't know if you are interested in literature but maggie o Farrel wrote a wonderful novel on lucrezia's life but of course she gave a better ending in the novel than in real life.

Love the channel!! 😃😃xx

Very informative, well done video. The Medici are very interesting. I only have one criticism, a pet peeve of mine. You repeatedly call them "girls" while their husbands, lovers, and brothers are men. It's infantilizing and insulting, especially when speaking of their extravagant lives, and misbehavior. ie:"He wasn't a fan of the girls' lifestyle in Florence." As a historian, I know that women *were* quite infantilized back then, hence the need for guardians/protectors (even many cases where the 'guardian' was a woman's grown son) but we don't have to perpetuate their infantilization. They were old enough to be married, take lovers, have children, and manage large households and lands, etc, so they deserve to be called women or ladies. Or you can refer to their husbands as boys. Just be equal in your language. (unless, as in some historical marriages, there's a large age gap, such as when powerful men marry the much younger girls, often early teens, who were intended to marry their sons, etc.) I'm not a feminazi by any means, more of a language/grammar aficionado. Like I said, it's a pet peeve, and it irked me every time I heard it.

Loved this video the history is so interesting and tragic. The girls were all beautiful, obviously men had no respect for women at that time…so sad 😢

I had no idea how numerous they were! Also very handsome according to the portraits we can see. It seems like it didn't pay to be a wealthy young woman, given how common wife-murder was. This is a very informative video. I want some of those outfits, complete with the jewels.

New subscriber- that’s for not using ai voices and ur channel is great

You could not make this stuff up 😂

Grand Duke of Florence? No such thing... Actually,' Dukes of Florence & afterwards ruler of The Grand Duchy of Tuscany...
