    The Calorno palace near Parma is now a cooking academy - the city and region of Parma is famous for its food which includes the very famous Parmesan cheese and dishes that use it like Chicken and Veal parmigiana. The English diarist Samuel Pepys who acquired a wheel of Parmesan cheese doing an Italian trip considered this asset as one of the things most worthy of being salvaged during the Great Fire of London in 1666 -so valuable was this type of cheese!

      That should be "Colorno" and not "Calorno" -my mistake!

      Pepys buried it in his backyard when the fire really got going. That's how it was saved.

    Being a mother myself, I couldn't imagine being pregnant and losing so many times. Unfortunately ,especially during that time period it was still placed on the mother for pregnancy loss or being barren. The man being at fault was impossible, matter how absurd it may seem to us now. However people today still have that mindset.

    Can you make a video about the Bulgarian Tsar Boris III. No one ever talks about Bulgarian royalty, we had a royal family too. He led a very interesting life and his death is still a mystery to this day.

    My cousin wants to tell you we found Desiree she was the fiancee of Napoleon before Josephine, she wound up the queen of Sweden yes that was her . We were watching a show about jewelry 😍🤩🥰🤤😋🤯 and it mentioned a beautiful set of rubies and diamond jewelry as a gift from him given to her, that is a part of the Swedish crown jewels. You're channel is awesome just like Mortis media and the others in your talented family.

    it's crazy how she just simultaneously very fertile getting pregnant so often (and so long!) but also kept having babies who died

    • @Sovereignty3
      @Sovereignty3 Před 5 měsíci +2

      Probably a combination of being related to her husband, multiple pregnancies taking it out of your body, the poor woman probably had very brittle bones later in life. It's one of those reasons that they don't recommend getting pregnant so soon after a pregnancy unless your taking supplements, and even then they prefer you taking supplements as your diet might not cover everything.
      But we also have a way great variety and easier access to nutritional food than our ancestors did.

    • @DulceN
      @DulceN Před 4 měsíci

      Infant and childhood deaths were very common before our days. No vaccines, no medications, poor knowledge of how the human body works…. Mothers often died during childbirth as well. This is addressed in the video @ 5:45.

    Good Day, I am not certain this subject would be in your genre or of interest to you or your viewers…but wanted to ask if you would ever consider doing a video on The Great Corsair, Jean Lafitte. From Bordeaux but settled in TheBayouNew Orleans with his brother Pierre, he was more than just a pirate. He dressed well; spoke several languages, could read & write when most could not; well-mannered and led a very interesting life. He is my Great (multiple greats) Grandfather on my Mother’s side. He is in the history books. -ANN from Chicago

    It is incredibly hard to not believe María Luisa and Godoy were lovers. He acquired incredible power and wealth under her protection and she named him as main beneficiary in her will… And yes, as a Spaniard I also heard the story of her confessor saying that, in her deathbed she confessed her children were not fathered by the king. Something very similar happened with another Spanish queen, Isabel II, daughter of Fernando VII, son of María Luisa. She was married to her first cousin Francisco de Asís (a notoriously gay man) and had 12 children by many lovers, none by her husband.

    Queen Anne of Great Britain was famous for being pregnant 17 times most of which ended in miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death and one child who died shortly after his 11th birthday.

    In those days Just as today Life was not always black & white sometimes the lines blur and in order to protect themselves and those they love people would do unpleasant things. I have myself. including one of the things mentioned in the thumbnail title. I wont tell you which but I believe I am by no means a one off. What they say and claim to believe is right, very quickly, disresolves when they are threatened. Myself included, this narrator included, you included .
