It's no surprise that Henry, Richard & John weren't good kings. Whatever on the job training & responsibilities they were given was just undermined by Dad's obsessive control. Without having the experience of being responsible for something, be the boss & see it through to a success or failure, they never got a chance to learn much. Instead of teaching them how to be a King, he pretty much set them up to fail. I wonder if Henry ll was afraid of them actually being successful & out-shinning him.

The "English" bureaucracy at the time were French, just vassals of the Duke of Normandy, the Count of Anjou & the Duke(duchess) of Aquitaine, i.e. the King of England, & somewhat wayward vassals of the King of France. The kings of England & their nobility didn't even speak English until near the end of the Wars of the Roses & really not until the accession of the bastard Tudor line, the first British kings who were actually Britons (Welsh).

It's a travesty! How in the world can you talk about Henry 2, John, Henry 3, Eleanor, and Richard without also talking about the man who made it all possible for them: William Marshall. Without his loyalty and military prowess, there's no way this dynasty would have ever gotten as far as they did. And a huge oversight is that Henry 3 barely held on to the thrown at all of it wasn't for William holding together the kingdom through his regency. Henry 3 had a lot going against him when he inherited the crown. Rebellious Barons and war against Prince Louis, and Marshall salvaged the kingdom against crazy odds. How Beckett and Monford gets honorary mentions, and Marshall is bigger influence than both combined and didn't even get mentioned.

I understand, I'm descended from both Henry III & William Marshal (Guillaume le Mareschal), Earl of Pembroke & default King of Leinster. Marshal saved the Plantagenets' bacon more than once. Of course that's part of the reason Marshal's daughter (or granddaughter, I'm not sure) married Henry III's grandson (son of Edmund, Earl of Lancaster & Leicester). Like about 100 million Americans, you may be descended from the Plantagenets & Marshal, too. Unfortunately, Marshal left no descendants in the male line.

This is excellent. I knew nothing of these 'far off' kings, with so much focus on the Tudors.. but this was riveting. Thanks so much for the upload ! Questions left over though.. I'm wondering though how Eleanor could 'separate' from Louis and marry so soon after, pre-divorce. Will have to go watching docos on her now :) And what happened with Richard and John?

I did the Ancestry two week free trial. Found little on my mom's side, on my dad's found my GG who emmigrated to Boston. On my paternal grandmother, keep going back and back and back and back for two weeks, I was amazed. Then one night, there it was, I am related to Plantagenent through Longshanks and also related to Scottish Kings and some Scottish Highlanders from the Hebrides. Through both lines of Kings I was related to Eleanor of Aquitane and Louis of France parents of King John. I figured stop there LOL.

The Plantagenets were the greatest dynasty to ever hold the British throne, and even though they had their faults, were better for Britain than the line that followed them. If only things had turned out differently at the Battle of Bosworth Field. 🇬🇧

@CipiRipi00 There are over 100 million Americans descended from the Plantagenets. The Windsors, as they are now called, got to the throne through their Stuart ancestors, who, in turn, were descended from the bastard Lancastrian Tudor line (bastard descendants of John of Gaunt & his mistress, Katharine Swinford).

Serious question: Does bipolar disorder run in your family? This Henry guy just seems like he has classic bipolar disorder. I would know because I displayed similar behavior before I was medicated. So, not judging. Just curious.

It was more like annulment at that time since they believed if you couldn't have children specifically males then the marriage could be annulment. For a fee of course.

@@stephaniejane306 If you were king, the Church would give you an annulment , if your wife had given you only daughters, or no children at all. The only reason Henry VIII had to make a break from the Catholic Church was that Catherine of Aragon fought the annulment tooth & nail, and her nephew the Emperor had control over the Pope at the time.

@stephaniejane306 10 ай бұрын

@Tina06019 yep pretty much. If she didn't fight the annulment, she probably would have gotten a better deal than Anne of Cleves, but she was a proud woman, and she stood by what she believed was true. We can't fault her for that.

@1952jodianne 11 ай бұрын

Richard III, who gets a bad rep, may or may not have been evil. We really don't know if Richard murdered his nephews or not. Certainly, his rival Henry Tudor (Henry VII), Descended from a bastard Plantagenet heir, he had far more reason to eliminate Edward V's sons than did Richard. They were the last of Richard's male heirs, after all.

@lkreyche Жыл бұрын

I'm watching so many of your offerings, and they are all great. Very informative. It does seem, however, that everyone was named Henry. Therefore, I rarely know who we are talking about. I do wish your royal families had named the occasional son Doug or Carl, perhaps even Warren from time to time. At least I don't have to sit for exams anymore. But I do confuse the Henrys.

Prince Harry lived in palaces, best food, never any worry about keeping a roof over his head. Millions of people in the world long for financial stability, including many in England. I actually feel sorry for him. Many a better man than he has been compromised by a controlling and narcissistic female. Love is indeed blind.
