Empress Isabella of Portugal - The Origin Story
Vložit
- čas přidán 3. 10. 2021
- Empress Isabel of Portugal was born in a changing word, during which the Middle Ages slowly give way to the renascence.
Five years before her birth, Vasco da Gama reached India, arriving in Calicut in May of 1498. Two years, later Pedro Alvares Cabral disembarked on what is now modern-day Brazil. Later the Portuguese also reached Japan in southeast Asia.
Lisbon became the epicenter of this first version of a globalized World. Spices like pepper and cinnamon came from India. From China, Silk and porcelain, which was an absolute novelty in Europe. Elephants and rhinoceros where part of the royal stables, exotic animals’ unseen in Europe since the roman empire. Like Hanno, the Indian elephant offered to the Pope by King Manuel, Isabel´s father, and immortalized by the hand of Raphael.
The social fabric of the city also changed, with the arrival of travelers, merchants and enslaved people from all over the world.
It´s in this effervescent word, full of contrasts and in permanent change that Isabel was born and raised, between the medieval, the humanist and the exotic. Her back ground would affect her vision of the word and her personality as an adult and, above all, as an empress. It comes as no surprise seeing her being gifted jewelry from India or, later in life, exchanging letters with Cortez in the New World.
So, on this this video, I´m going to try to discover who was the woman behind the Titian portrait that immortalized her.

Wonderful.
A video about queen Leonor would be great!
P.S.: Thank you for the virtual tour of the Palace of Sintra 😊
More about anyone in this vid would be lovely! :) Predictably, I mostly know about Catherine of Aragon, & a tiny bit about her parents & her sister Juana (I hate that she's known as Juana the Mad, whether she had a mental illness or not, but uncomplimentary nicknames were nothing unusual.)
The virtual tour of Palace if Sintra was awesome. One of my favorite palaces to visit.

Just a note about such noblewomen learning "menial" chores while young: it was so that in her future life the young lady would know clearly if her staff had done things well, and so that she would not be fooled with bad merchandise or sloppy work from unethical tradesmen.
Exactly. It's still true for some families. I was raised exactly that way.
We need to do more of that.Evrryone needs to learn how to take care of themselves!

How Isabella was treasured by the Emperor, who mourned her the remainer of his life, how fortunate she could be a very able regent, be a very loving mother to her children, how beautiful she seemed to be looking at her portraits, how very different was her married adult life to her fellow queens, like across the pond, and in France, where infidelity was to be endured by Leonor and Claud, though Francis still seemed to have appreciated her in a strange way. How sad how early she died and tragic but bittersweet how she was mourned and missed. She was loved. A true royal woman
La emperatriz Isabel fue la mujer mas bella de su tiempo y ademas una gran regente durante los viajes del Emperador Carlos. La reina mas amada.❤
She was, in fact, a extremely skilled regent in Spain all the years Emperor Carlos V was absent in his many other territories...
Olá Cassandra
She looks 😍 beautiful in this painting
She was gorgeous and her sisters were also very pretty. She was virtuous and noble. Deeply loved by her husband and children. So tragic she died so young. Her mother surely had ambitions for daughters to marry only kings. Thanks for your excellent video.
Her coat of arms however was ghastly.
@@johnnotrealname8168 wow. You weren't kidding. It's awful.
I have always loved Titian's portrait of Isabel. You told her story very well. Charles loved and mourned her.
I've had a picture of her portrait for over a year now. I never knew until I found this video. The picture holds so much more meaning to me. Thank You so much!
She was such a stunning beauty!
I have a huge admiration for Isabel de Portugal, one of the most prominent women of her time.
Ah! I've actually been waiting for someone to do a narration in english of Isabela of Portugal! Her and Charles's story is so romantic and tragic. Thank you for this!!!
This historical account brings great enlightenment on the subject of Empress Isabella of Portugal. It is quite remarkable to find out that the correct spelling of Lisbon is Lisbona meaning "good lily". Thank you for the narration and pictorial art.
No, Lisbon comes from its Roman name Olissipo - Olissipona through the corruption of the Arabic al-Lixbuna.
Really?!😮 I didn't know that.🤔
Isabel of Portugal in her time was the most powerful woman in Europe.
Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.
Queen of Spain, and her overseas dominions.
Queen of Naples, Sicily, Sardinia.
Duchess of Burgundy.
Isabel de Portugal, was a beautiful and extremely humble woman, power never corrupted her, despite being Empress and Queen.
She protected the American Indians with all her power from the abuses of the Spanish Conquerors, facing Emperor Charles on several occasions, who did not consider him important.
After her death, Emperor Charles, to honor the memory of his wife, protected the indigenous people.
Power never corrupted her, because power dosent corrupt, that's just an made to excuse plebeian bad people in democracies, "oh it wasn't I that had a bad character, it's that power corrupts"
Love to hear all the Portuguese names well said
Me too, he knows how to pronounce the Portuguese names very well. It is a plus.
He is portuguese...
You forgot to mention that her eldest son, Philip II of Spain, became King of Portugal as Philip I thanks to the claim he had for being her son. Charles V wore black for the rest of his life to show his eternal mourning after her death too.
Thank you for this wonderful video. Empress Isabella / Isabel was the most beautiful princess of her time.Love the way you tell "her "origin story.
Finally I found about the history about my favourite empress Isabel de Portugal
I feel bad for Charles V as he lost his wife when he was only 38
Royal families seem to have a been a lot more close knit in the Renaissance than the later baroque and Victorian periods
Thank you for her portrait, she was a righteous and virtuous woman for her time. Could you please continue with her life during her governance of Spain and death?
Very well done and informative videos. Am getting a lot from your content.
One small linguistic remark: in English, you don't marry "with" a person. You just marry a person.
So, "Isabella could only marry one of the the highest ranking princes or rulers".
Thanks for your wonderful work🙏
She was a real real princess and such an extraordinary person
Your videos are so great!
The main reason nobility did not breast-feed is that, in general, women do not get pregnant while lactating, and it was a wife’s duty too bat out as many children as possible as quickly as possible
Actually, the milk stops flowing once she is pregnant.
That’s not true. I breastfed while pregnant.
My mother got pregnant really fast after my first sister was born and she was nursing
I breast fed all my boys for two years and my first two are only a year and a half apart. I continued breast feeding my first while pregnant with my second. Had a small break and then breast fed my second. The milk never stopped and the colostrum came in for the second one. What I do not know is if colostrum would come in if I had continued. But two years is my cut off.
Milk stops if you stop breast feeding or pumping the milk or eventually if you never tried.
Great video! I love the fact that the portuguese court was bilingual, so curious.
Who says that? The Portuguese language at those days are more spread then Spanish.
The Portuguese had
the first global comercial
Empire.
Of course the Spanish princesses which married Portuguese kings have difficulty to learn Portuguese , as all the Spaniards. They have a poor fonetic. The wowels .
@@vitorsilveira560 Isabel de Portugal hablaba tres idiomas, y un poco de Latin. Español, Portugues y frances. Ella se caso con el Emperador Carlos, y a él le costo mucho aprender español, hablaba frances. Como decia Carlos, siempre hablo frances con las damas.
Isabel la mas bella, y tambien muy culta e inteligente.
I've exhausted my interest in English royalty, moved on to France, then did a little Spain, and you tube read my thoughts of maybe Portugal next and recommended this video. I enjoyed it very much. Hope your history Channel takes off.
We are all.exhausted by english royalty which is overwhelming showed in all Hollyweird movies and tv series as if other countries would not exist
What a lovely voice this narrator has 😊
And thank you for the links to historical sources.
Your welcome! Obridado eu :)
Charles V was so devastated by Isabella's death that he shut himself up in a monastery for 2 months in solitude to mourn her.
He wore black for the rest of his life, never remarried ( rare in that time) and had an affair only once, a long time after Isabella's death. He died holding the same cross Isabella had held when she was passed.
Duke Francis Borgia (Later St. Francis) was one of the people who accompanied her body to the burial place. He was horrified to see what death had done to her beauty (substantial decaying had occured leaving her unrecognizable) that he later became a Jesuit priest.
Thank you very much for this very informative video.Unfortunately there is a little information (no books or documentaries) about Isabel in English.She is very well portrayed by Blanca Suarez in Spanish tv series "Carlos de Rey Emperador".
Thank you very much for this fantastic video. I was going to ask you about Katherine (or was her name Catherine???) of Aragon, but you mentioned her before I could ask!!! Katherine of Aragon was a great Queen, and much loved by the people of England. Henry VIII must have loved her because, when he became king, he could have married anyone. We remember him as a fat, old tyrant of a man, but when he married Katherine, he was only 18, and he was tall, slim and handsome. Imagine how different history would have been if Henry and Katherine's son had lived 😳? It's amazing how all the royal families of Europe were interlinked through marriage.
All european royal families are interlinked one way or another..i saw links between vikings to greek byzantines and from french to hungarian and bulgarian and slavic royals
You english know.only about western royal families who were connected to english dinasties ,indeed very close from from spain o england ,from France to germany and austria but specially the germanics who founded all royal medieval dinasties.
This vision that every one that came to Lisbon following the discoveries was enslaved is dated.
1- Of the many Portuguese adventurous voyages and ambitious quests, love was often one of them. Portuguese explorers and traders married non-Christian natives they encountered in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. These connections fostered social bonds and cultural integration between people from different backgrounds for years, shaping both Portugal and those places forever. It would help that Portuguese men who married Indigenous women and settled, wouldn't have to pay taxes ever again. The resulting heritage giving rise to vibrant, multicultural communities that transcend ethnic and religious boundaries to this day. As is the case with Malaysia and Japan where their arrival is still celebrated.
2- Portugal's overseas expansion was not primarily driven by a grand militaristic ambition to conquer the world. Instead, their campaigns often targeted rival regions or powers that posed a threat to the interests of Portugal and its allies. These alliances were cultivated through diplomatic ties and cultural exchanges and allowed Portugal to assert its influence and expand its reach beyond its borders.
3- Lisbon was a bustling city of explorers, which held a prestigious status as a flourishing learning center during the Age of Discoveries. Renowned schools attracted ambitious minds from far and wide, with the likes of Christopher Columbus studying there. Moreover, as Lisbon's fame spread, it became a magnet for not only nobility from Africa and Asia but also attracted a diverse array of individuals, and there were various roles and positions held by different people, including explorers charting new lands, traders enriching commerce, diplomats solidifying alliances, scholars fostering knowledge, and artisans adding creativity to the city's lively and culturally rich atmosphere, further transforming the city into a vibrant hub of cosmopolitan interaction.
4- The allure of sailing for the Portuguese was not lost on foreign sailors, and it extended beyond their own ranks to include adventurous individuals from distant lands, such as the Indic, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. These sailors were drawn to the excitement and opportunities presented by Portugal's maritime expeditions, contributing to a melting pot of maritime expertise during the Age of Discoveries.
5- The treatment of different groups during Portugal's colonial era was varied. While some endured harsh and oppressive conditions, others found full autonomy and opportunities for social mobility within Portuguese society. These disparities and the exposure to injustices played a significant role in shaping Portugal's path to Humanism, ultimately leading to it becoming one of the first nations on the planet to abolish slavery.
Thanks for another wonderful and informative video!
She was the perfect empress
Cool video with some fascinating history! Keep it up ☺️
雖然在她年邁之際，世人对她的包貶不一，但是我一直是支持她的！而且是十分感恩！

Thank you!
Enjoyed very much ty. There are some very interesting threads here 💗
I have the same birthday and red hair! Hopefully not the same ending 😕
Excellent biography, well researched and nice narration. Thank you
enjoyed this 👍🏽
Excellent video! I look forward to viewing more of them.
She was beatiful
What a novel idea! The king n queen loved each other and the kingdom was happy n prosperous, had lots of children everything flourished! Funny how that works hu?.
U say the Portuguese words very well that's nice
I am portuguese 😉
They are my ancestors.
Thanks Mom.
Viva Carlos V e la imperatriz Isabel de Portugal!
Viva España!
Obrigado!
The Portuguese golden age. From this point onward it's always down hill.

All empires are due to fall.
Nations change along with time and with the ways of their people.
Absolutely. And personally I'm glad the Portuguese empire has fallen because the country was holding territories that belonged to other people and there were massive inequalities between the different ethnicities in all of its territories (In Mozambique, for instance, only 1% of the native black population were considered Portuguese citizens). I'm only sorry that Portugal isn't as respectable as it was 500 years ago, although I wished we were, but for radically different reasons.
@@luisalmeida1391 the early 16th century Portugal didn't much own much countries, trading post and factory were the preferred mean. I think you are mistaken.
Very nice thank you °~.♡.~°
Really interesting! :) I know little bits about a few of the people in Isabel's life, but I didn't even know who she was. Her story is fabulous tho, she sounds like an interesting, strong & intelligent woman. I did find it a bit hard to follow without a family tree, but I just have to re-watch it & start scribbling!
I recognize that the family connections of Isabel where particularly complex, so thank you for your suggestion of adding a family tree.
@@IntoThePast Oh, I need a tree to follow & remember even a pretty straightforward family, lol- some people's brains are just like that, so a tree would be good for us, but it was more a comment than a suggestion, as I dunno how much work it'd be to add a tree, & I'd much rather have an interesting, well-researched vid with decent info that I can easily draw a tree from myself, than one with lots of trees full of mistakes!
It s fabulous because most people didnt k know anything excepy.that bloody(in any way) english hisyory which was over and over shown in mainstream.media
@@elsascridon7256 Oh I know- like we NEED yet more on the Tudors!! It's a vicious circle tho- people already know them, so they're more likely to watch something about them, unfortunately. And most English-speakers barely know anything even about other _English_ royalty, let alone royalty from other countries!
I'm wary of historical fiction tho, cos if I don't know the actual history, I'm very likely to "learn" a load of rubbish, & if I _do_ know it, I'm very likely to be infuriated by how wildly inaccurate it is :D I'm no expert, but they just make crazy shit up, & I'll never know why when the _actual_ stories are exciting enough- if you can't get enough drama out of the _Tudors,_ you shouldn't be writing movies!
@@beth7935 but that s ridiculous..history isn t just about england or tudors!!
I would like a video on Vasco Da Gama
One thing in common lady's all had pearls.
muito bom
Yet they say woman had no power, unbelievable!
0:36 that´s so cool 😋
😍😍😍🐘
Isabella was so pretty. Was she a redhead?
Yes, she was. I was wondering the same...
I think a lot of people in her extended family had red or reddish-blonde hair: Catherine of Aragon & her sister Juana had reddish-blonde hair (I hate it when TV shows & movies portray Catherine with dark hair & eyes cos that's the stereotype of Spanish people!) I've read somewhere that that colouring came from their ancestry from the House of Trastamara, but I dunno who the House of Trastamara were; only that Iberian royalty intermarried a LOT.
@@beth7935 Two sisters, Philipa and Catherine, daughters of John of Gaunt married into the Iberian Royalty ; Phillipa to the Portuguese king and Catherine to the Castilian King.
It is believed that some of their descendants may have inherited the reddish blonde hair from both of them.
The Trastamara House began with the illegitimate children of king Alfonso XI of Castile and his mistress ,Eleanor of Gusman, that after winning a civil war against the legitimate king, took the throne.Henry of Trastamara took the throne after the death of his half brother Pedro.
@@Belinda8881 Awesome, that's so interesting- it isn't common for an illegitimate line to take a throne! I only knew about John of Gaunt's daughters, not the rest, so thanks! :)
@@beth7935 the Tudors (Elizabeth I) were also illegitimate . I believe it started when a widowed French princess fell in love with a commoner in England .
Queen Isabel is also a Saint of the Catholic Church.
That's news to me and I'm Catholic.
I think you have mistaken her with her grandmother Queen Isabel of Castille who's not canonized yet.
You are mistaken her with Isabel of Aragon who married King Denis of Portugal and is known as Saint Elizabeth of Portugal.
The most beautiful Queen.
Charles V chosen her over Mary Tudor.
To all you: it's very nice of you to sympathize with what these "royalty" goes or went through however also remember that this people never worked in their life however they wear the best clothes, eat the best food, live in the best houses in the best neighborhoods, breed and hardly take care of their children, they don't have to worry about where their if they will have food or not. All this is being pay by the sweat of the common people.
You must thank God you were born a peasant.....just think how terrible you would have felt if you were born royal.
You would have immediately given all your money and treasures away and absconded to live in a hurry somewhere.
Don't be such a hypocrite.
Being a royal is work.
@@dixi3150 what's worse is that if you're a female royal you'll be treated like a political pawn. The OP is indeed a hypocrite
Ruling is working
Isabelle is as pretty as any other woman. No matter what a woman does and this woman did much . She's just praised for being pretty.
Please see my entertaining video on his subject titled " Beauty Story".
I propose that beauty is NOT subjective..but is in deed objective and measurable. And I can prove this claim.
It's funny how all of the people look exactly the same in the family portraits, with children being simply smaller than the adults.
Also....as to the fact that most princes/princesses were described as "beautiful"....firstly: who would dare to describe any royal as "unpleasing"?...and, secondly: these rich folks were better fed (even in vitro)than most others, and they lived more pampered, healthier lives (not to mention the fact that they were cleaner and better dressed than anyone else)
Modern day Hollyweird people are better tweaked and primped than your average Joe/Jane nobody.
I've noticed that too. I've come to the conclusion that the portraits are more meant to represent that person, rather than being an actual likeness of them. Also taking into account the painting styles and beauty standards of the times. Even using your example of celebrities nowadays, their looks also change with the trends over the years. Hair colour, certain makeup techniques, weight loss/gain, clothing, etc.
I call it Unholy- weird..
@@caramia4143 what a weirdo! everyone who come across her said she was extraordinarily beautiful even back when she was nothing! oh they called royalty ugly, etc plenty of time. the black prince was sneered for his darker complexion inherited from hiis spanish descent
too bad I’ve spent months looking through every obscure minor nobility up to royal portrait from early medieval to late renaissance, and not a single portrait has looked as striking nor as beautiful as Isabel’s
🏵
Thank you for the well made video. What name is of painting on 3:25?
Fons Vitae from an unknown Flemish Master from the XVI Century. Some think is a Bernard Von Orley painting. It belonged to the Misericórdia do Porto and now it's housed in their Museum.

“I would rather die than scream” sends chills down your spine 😳
It does?
Making a rhinoceros a present for the Pope shows how mighty King Manuel I felt. In fact he himself thought he had be chosen for the highest achievements, in a Defender of the Faith, "messianic empire-builder" kind of way.

Could you make the video in portuguese
They had the best Royal marriage, them and Elizabeth of York and Henry the VII.
Yes, I love how devoted Henry & Elizabeth were to each other, after such a non-negotiable marriage! And not many kings were faithful to their wives- Edward IV made a love match, but he was still off chasing everything in a skirt. (Henry VIII clearly took after his grandfather, not his father, sadly...) The story of Henry VII & Elizabeth comforting each other after Arthur's death is heartbreaking but beautiful.
It was not mentioned here, but before he married Isabella, Charles V was betrothed for several years to Mary of England, daughter of his aunt Catherine and Henry VIII. One can only imagine what Isabella must have thought, even though there seemed little chance this marriage would happen. After all, Charles was in his early 20s and the future bride Mary was about 5.. Even so, this was to be a consolation for Henry, as by then, it was clear Mary was to be his only surviving legitimate heir at that point (this was a few years before he pursued Anne Boleyn.) Marriage of his daughter to a powerful Emperor would have extended his own influence. Catherine favored a family match (indeed this became a dangerous trend as first cousins and then uncles and nieces were to marry in the Castilian/ Hapsburg line.) However, it would have been naive not to realize that her nephew would probably have to soon marry an older princess to beget heirs, as life was uncertain and Charles was often involved in battles that could end his life at any time. Charles himself wasn't thrilled to have to wait about 10 years to marry, and made demands that Mary be brought over to his domain to be educated. Since even royal wives were subject to their husbands, after a while the prospect of his kingdom just being an extension of the Empire made the marriage less appealing to Mary's father, and about this time, Henry and others, for their own reasons, were questioning the validity of his already-years-long marriage to Catherine. The betrothal was called off, freeing Charles to marry the more age-appropriate (first cousin) Isabella. Ironically of course, his eldest child and first son Philip, would later be assigned to marry the by-then middle-aged new Queen of England, his cousin (and father's former fiancee) Mary, who was over a decade his senior, which of course turned out badly.
Yep. Mary never had kids, and her half sister Elizabeth would wind up kicking Philip and his Spanish Armada's butts six ways to Sunday and back with her much smaller but more manueverable English fleet.
Charles also was a father to a couple illegitimate children prior to that engagement.
@@achaudhari101 Of course he was. 🙄😎And yet....if the queen had an affair, uproar city! 🙄Double standard, anyone?🙄
@@achaudhari101 Charles had many affairs outside of his marriage but he only had 1 bastard.

Please tell this story to men with entitled personalities. Since they think the modern world is too difficult for them to get dates.
They are not wrong tho. Financial and family obligation can be too burdensome which makes it difficult for men (and in fact also women) to consider a relationship until much later. They are also work, studies, and for some pursuing careers which takes immense time.
@@blugaledoh2669 I think her point is that men are the ones complaining the most about it. The incel movement is male dominated and has even produced mass murderers all because they don't know how to attract women even though they believe they are entitled to sex and or relationships with them
@@alexavasquez1992 Well firstly those men probably have more issue than simply the inability to attract women.
Secondly, I think even if you are right I am still right. The world has become more difficult for any committed relationship. There are casual relationship but most men and women are disincentived to make long term relational commitment.
I don't know what you mean by "men are the ones most complaining about it." I am sure women do just as much but you can prove me wrong
Brother b-day Oct 24.

Can’t understand what you’re saying over the background music. I would have liked this otherwise.
I wonder if Isabells knew about the 4 children Charles had out of wedlock prior to getting married. Even though he was distraught over his wife’s death, that didn’t stop him from having one more illegitimate child at 48.
Excelente vídeo, muitos parabéns. Com o devido respeito peço-lhe que nos seus próximos vídeos fale um pouco mais devagar e com uma fonética mais clara. Tive dificuldade em perceber algumas frases e eu sei bem inglês, aprendi-o bem no Liceu e também vivi uns tempos em Londres já vai para muitos anos. Adoro História sobretudo os regimes monárquicos de todos os países do mundo. Descendo de aristocratas italianos e não só mas também a nossa História desde o seu início até à queda da Monarquia não podia ser excepção. Vou tentar ver todos os seus vídeos.

You know it would have been a lot easier to take art history if the stories behind these paintings, the historical events, Or described along with the art technique I think it would have been much easier to understand plus memorize the application & dialog together vs. separate 😣
Yes..our current education system purposefully dims and dulls history..to obscure it and to discourage true wisdom and to dampen a hunger for it. All by design mind you..all by purposefully design of our controllers..
Since a public disinterested and confused or bored with it's own history is so much easier to fool and to control.

Yes..
Wisdom and Godly virtues are so very lacking in the schools and institutions of our broken so- called educational "system" of these modern days.
The Frankfurt schools method of education we are doomed to be put through currently..was devised solely for nothing more than to train and to produce masses of unquestioningly obedient and gullible subservient worker bees.
