Royals who Died of Bubonic Plague

Plagues are nature's nasty way of natural selection.

Plagues are God's way of reminding Man that he is nothing more than a Fly speck on a huge pile of Horse dung.

WE LITERALLY JUST ABOUT THIS IN WORLD HISTORY CLASS TODAY!!!!

For starters, ‘pandemic’ is a word used by the modern day type followers of the philosophies of Karl Marx and Lenin.
Epidemics are also global regardless of the circumstances of the dilemma.
If only things like time circuits and flux capacitors were real, then one could possibly travel back in time with enough penicillin to combat the dilemma, and somehow put the species of flea that carried the bacteria of the plague into extinction.

For future reference, the pronunciation of Owain Glyndwr is closer to O-wine Glin-doer. Hope this helps 😊

I’ve only been subscribed for a week, but adore your videos!
I am reading Mortons A Nervous Splendor thanks to your awesome Hapsburg videos!

🥰

really love this one xoxo

The narration sounds unnatural. Don't like it.

Henry VII, was incredibly unattractive

This Megan's fault to willie

Regarding John of Gaunt, he made a dynastic marriage after the death of Blanch. He most possibly had not yet started his affair with Katherine Swynford, who eventually did become his third wife, with the four children they had then being legitimized. So many of the History Tea Time tales do have various errors. Your videos are so entertaining otherwise, especially the manner you have of relating the stores.

I watch documentaries about the plague instead of horror movies.

*King John II of France also died of the plague while being held captive in England as his Mom & wife did previously.

Great video.
However it is not certain that Margrete 1. died of the plague.
It seemed that noone else on the ship caught the disease.
So its still an open question what caused her death .

For some reason Queen Maria's 2 year old accidentally getting lanced particularly saddened me, but the actual topic is one from which I had no idea how many royals from a high number of countries died from the plague. We sure jumped the shark @ covid.

Ruffle bridal top girl is getting married to suit dress girl.

Could you do a video on some queens/princesses etc who died in childbirth?

It's crazy how the black death almost got Justinian, Constantinople was one of the worst affected places by the first outbreak of the black death, and the Emperor of the Romans got so sick he fell into a coma. Empress Theodora took charge and managed the crisis admirably, taking the very difficult decision to burn the dead on mass and dump the ashes in Bosphorus...

However, miraculously, Justinian survived and would go on to make a full recovery.

It’s crazy to me how the human race survived this plague way back then without the healthcare or knowledge we have now. Health was so sensitive back then, most babies didn’t even make it to 5 yo.

Terrible IA voice. Try another

Amen! St. Phillipa pray for us!

Seven children by 26?!

💪🏻🤍

The De la Poles were closer to the throne than the Tudors were

" miffed" her father and brother were strangled and you said she was "miffed"...
Did you miss vocab in school? Couldn't think of a more appropriate word?

The black Dath. The Black Dath. It's the black DEATH not the black DATH.

You have the best voice!

Joan the lame of France
There is hardly any information about her.
And also
Either they put she is wife of Philip 4 or 6.

Can you please make a video on her Joan of burgundy. I think she needs more light..💡 on her life.

Okay wait back up though. That sultan caught the plague before anyone else in his camp? Before any of the doctors had heard of it? Was he patient 0 then? Where did it come from and how did he manage to be the first to catch it?

I'm sorry but that voice is grating on me.

Could be wrong, but I always thought Margrethe I died of smallpox, not bubonic plague.

Jeez, this woman’s voice is awful. Really grates on you

We take in domestic rescue rats, but we just adopted an orphaned baby black rat (Rattus rattus), and he's absolutely adorable - surprisingly soft too!
Observing him do lightning zoomies and climb like a pro, really made me appreciate how easily black rats would've moved through thatched roofs and granaries in mediaeval times, easily spreading fleas and diseases.
His ears are like little radar dishes too, and his eyes are bigger than the domestic types (Rattus norvegicus - brown rats), making him impossible for most predators to catch.
Also, despite being flighty, he's already adapted well to a domestic setting, and he's very affectionate and trusting with me. So a perfect combination for spreading Yersinia pestis 😅

We live in Australia btw so he doesn't have plague or rabies before people freak out lol

edmund got karma fr

❤❤❤❤I really love your channel and would like to suggest a video idea: Royal princesses who died young, for example: Mary Of York, Mary Of Waltham, Joan Of plague, and lastly Margaret Of York (Daughter Of Edward IV)

Maybe it was a good thing Joan of England did not marry Peter of Castile because if we take into mind how horribly he treated his wife Blanche of Bourbon who was imprisoned and poisoned at age 22 it would have actually been a blessing in disguise

owain was the "william wallace" of wales, even though most proper historians think wallace is a welsh name x

I'd love a profile of Blanch and John of Gaunt/Duke of Lancaster!

Ok...why are you using an image of Edward the black prince to show John of Gaunt, and an image of the baby Jesus for Edward's son?

Am I a bad person for wanting to say, "Bring out your dead!" when she mentions victims of the worst pandemic in human history?

Since when was Richard the 2nd gay? I have literally never heard that in any other documentary that he is mentioned in. There have been strong indications that Edward the 2nd was gay, but he managed to have children with his wife.

I know there are thousands if not way more of us direct descendants of these crazy royals. Growing up I never knew my ancestry like I do now and I’m just amazed at how many iconic and crazy royals or other major players in their courts. Too many were beheaded in England and hung in Salem at the Witch Trials. Thank you for doing these videos they are fascinating

Philipa’s husband king João I of Portugal also died because of plague 18 years after his wife in 1433

Richard didn't quote "discover a priest" to say that Edward had previously been married. The Bishop who married Edward to Eleanor Butler came forward at this time because it was against Church law for a bastard to inherit the throne since the King's first wife was still alive when he married the prince's mother. He was a bigamist. Richard was the last descendant in the male line of the Plantagenet dynasty. Richard III was not unpopular. He was known as a fair and just man and very popular in the lands that he governed and also known for his honesty and upright character. The princes we're not shut in the tower. The Tower of London was the designated place for the heir to the throne to await his coronation. The fact is no one knows what actually happened to the princes and remains one of history's greatest mysteries and is debated to this day.

Survivors of the plague remember 🙏🙏🙏

7 children before the age of 26. ☹️

You forgot Elizabeth of York and Henry VII had q baby named Edmund who died of the Plague. If he hadn't died Elizabeth of York may have lived longer and the Tudor dynasty may have continued longer.
