When someone dies and is laid to rest we tend to think of them as gone. But their remains may remain waiting to play a further part in history. For your consideration, here are three twisted tales about royals whose earthly vessels were not left in peace. One involves an exhumation done out of love, one done out of hate and the final exhumation may hold the key to solving a centuries old murder mystery.
1. Inês de Castro, Posthumous Queen of Portugal - All Hail the Corpse Queen!
2. Oliver Cromwell - He killed King and his corpse paid the price!
3. Richard III and the Princes in the Tower - Centuries of propaganda and Cold-case murders

In Brasil we have a Saying: "now Inês is dead" (agora Inês é morta), meaning "now we can't do anything (about that)", because of Inês de Castro, even 500 years after her death
Nossa de qual região do Brasil vc é ???Pq eu nunca ouvi isso
@@nbatista5803 Eu já ouvi (Brasília). É comum no Nordeste, mas os idosos é que falam essa expressão está quase sumindo.
@@nbatista5803 Fui criada pela minha vó e sempre ouvi, lembro dela me contando essa história da origem da expressão - agora é tarde, Inês é morta. (sou de Pernambuco)
Eu sou de São Paulo e quando eu era criança eu ouvi bastante essa expressão. Mas acho que hoje em dia não é mais tão comum.
@@nbatista5803 500? I think we’re more than 500 years in distance lol
“All hail the corpse queen” is the most metal sentence I’ve ever heard
I'm sure you speak from experience my holy Emperor

AGREED! Also, "Long live the Queen/King!!"
Funny how many rituals the people will follow simply because the King/Queen or Presidents etc say it is normal.
For example: 99.99% of people don't even know that they annually complete rituals nor do they know why they do so... Such as the blowing out of candles atop a bday cake..
Or the ENTIRE ceremony of marriage...
I give Pedro props for actually loving his “wife” and children. You don’t hear real kings doing that much.
Did you see the part where he was already married and cheated with Ines?
@@chrissy2844 I don’t think that’s a good reason to kill someone and imprison children. That goes for relationships for today too
@@chrissy2844 that was normal for royals
@@chrissy2844 yeah but if he had actually chosen who he wanted to be his wife he would've been a very loving husband
@@ingridaguero6460 Yeah, but cheating is wrong
If he doesn’t love me like Pedro loved Ines, then he dosen’t love me at all.
Our standards in Portugal have been high ever since✋🏻😂
what you are looking for is beta male simp.
This story CONFIRMS that my husband of 23 years never really loved me. I don't think there is another love in history as strong as theirs. Covid has given many people time to actually sit down and reflect, in a good way.
@@user-qg8wh7ld8z its part of portuguese culture, don't disrespect it by making jokes and calling him an "unloyal simp" its our culture respect it, you wouldn't want people desrespecting your culture and callig it names. Get a life you damn troll
@@rafaelagoncalves8825 thank you so much. God bless you
Pedro and Ines is such a sad love-story...
I think making her enemies kiss her corpse-hand once he became King is one of the most badass revenge moves ever!
And disgusting too
He might be called mad King by his people though 😅😅
@@winterwar9123 - We only have room for one mad king, and it will always be Aerys II Targaryen. I’m perfectly willing to die on this hill 😂🤣😂
@@winterwar9123 he was given two cognomen : D. Pedro, the Righteous or D. Pedro the Cruel
Brings a whole new meaning to"ride or die" doesn't it?
“Baffled at his heir’s outrage.”
...For real? You kill the love of his life and think “Eh, he’ll get over it,” like that’s how actual life works?
Because he was a psychopath, with no real understanding of the concept of real love! He had no ability to empathize or see reason outside of what he wanted! So he eliminated objects standing in his way because he was egocentric and narcissistic! He thought his son should have seen that the situation was his own fault and then he became obedient to his father's wishes!
@@DaarkDestiny especially when you consider he had her decapitated in front of their children illegitimate or not. Yeah he's just going to get over that right away and be ready to move on to the next princess or some other well bred lady who was more of what his father thought was suitable
@@caroldowning5964 I couldn't imagine being so cold hearted that I couldn't see or understand why those actions would upset someone! It's baffling to people who do possess empathy. We can't understand the actions of people who don't possess empathy because they're not the norm! And thank goodness!
Boomer dad.
@@DaarkDestiny we are the norm because as it turns out, having empathy is a really good tool when working together and working together is always the strongest solution.
The people without empathy will never be able to work together, but they can be in powerful positions and sometimes its actually beneficial to not have empathy when you ruling over others.
But in the end they always gonna get killed by a angry horde or end in jail.
But man that was a sad story, royalty was brutal back in the day.
the tombs of D. Pedro and of Dona Ines de Castro are not side by side.The king determined that they should be buried facing each other so that on the day of jujement ,when the dead rise up,the very first thing their eyes should see is each other's face.
Well, that’s still side by side lol. And that’s pretty sweet, actually.
That is so sweet and pretty well thought out actually
Actually, the two tombs must be opposite each other, the foot of one toward the foot of the other. That way, when the resurrected bodies sit up, they will be looking at each other.
That’s so adorable. He loved her greatly.
@@mangot589 That's pretty sweet, but not "side by side".
Ines's story should be a movie.
There's a movie about her, but is in portuguese.
There's is a movie, but in portuguese. The braid of ines.
And a sequel that turns into a zombie movie.

Damn no comments?
And then, thousands of years later, my mother decided that I would be Inês because she loved the story of Inês de Castro that much!
I blame her for my love of history and romances btw
Let’s just hope no one’s father has you executed.
@@hannahstahl1857 OH I sure hope not! 😅
The same with me!
Oh my gid
Beheading a mother in front of her small children????
Adeena Hasan eh whatevs! Hang draw and quarter, burn at the stake. All good fun. Great entertainment for the mob. No tv back then. They were a gruesome lot
@Patti Morris You do have a point. And thanks. I don't find a lot of people on the internet who are decent to me in these days of rampant Islamophobia :)
The king was psychotic. How else can you explain him somehow expecting his son to walk it off and fall in line with his demands?
@Nonaya Bidness You mean extremist followers of some religions?
@Nonaya Bidness I respect your opinion, sister :)
Oh my god I feel so bad for Ines’ children! They were made to watch as she was beheaded. Wowww
Not only did her poor children have to watch as she was beheaded but also, as their father went bat shit had their mother dug up, head sewn back on and hailed as queen only to be buried a bit later.. Like..wow.. That'll mess you up.
@Patti Morris just because it wasny uncommon back then doesn't mean it was common for the kids.
These kids would need therapy
@@Xer031 bra I’d need a doctor
She wasnt kiled in front of them , se was taken to another place were there was a ``trial`´,then she was kiled , there is so much romantic legend around this incident that it buries reality .
Whenever I hear about princes in the tower, my heart aches. Even after a 500 years, their deaths are heartbreaking.
Lowkey makes me cry it’s so sad
me too. i can't imagine what they had been through. it always in my mind whenever London tower is mentioned.
Prbably they were never killed. Read The Survival of the Princes in the Tower by matthew Lewis. You will feel much better
@@chandos2008 I agree.
I love them so much their story breaks my heart it is said that one night the boys were sleeping in their bed when someone came strangled them and then cut their bodies in small slices and threw the pieces in the gutter so no one could recognise the murder
With such brutal death and no proper burial the boys souls were left to roam around
There's a real sadistic detail about the way the killers of Inês were executed: the hearts were taken from the back...
WELLLL...🤔they did take off her head IN FRONT OF HER CHILDREN..you know that's better than they deserved.
Karma
@Galactic Vegan I love how there’s that ‘probably’ on there like.
@Galactic Vegan Maybe so, but they didn't have to actually do it in front of her children, they could have just said they did it but actually killed her privately. The way in which they conducted the murder was gruesome and does demonstrate that they did not have a heart.
@Rachel Xu that's something people don't seem to know. Back then listening to your ruler was baked into society to take point it wasn't even a thought to disobey orders. it probably didn't occur to them that it was wrong because it was a demand from their lord. And in top of that morals and basic human rights weren't really a thing back then.
“So you thought you could get away from the law with that little dying stunt of yours?”
😂😂😂😂

One of the biggest copes in history.
U have to appreciate the passion of the old people.

The story of Inês de Castro is extremely popular in Portugal, I got my name to honour her and because it was my parents favourite tale growing up. Another thing, the way to pronounce my name is E-nêsh. That was a really good try though!
What? Like ehh-neeshhh??? Something like that

@@Made_In_Heavenn yup
Fun fact: Ferdinand II of Aragon (Isabella of Castille's husband) is a descendent of Ines de Castro and King Pedro, She is his great great-grandmother through her Daughter Beatrice, Countess of Albuquerque
@Galactic Vegan yes, he is her father
Nice
Thanks for this. My knowledge of kings and queens before Isabel and Fernando is pretty shaky, I know a few of the names but not how they connect.

When they found Richards body I freaked out when they did. My chemistry teacher made a weekly assignment. We had to do a research paper of any subject we desired minimum of 4 pages. I still have the report. It was 8 pages I was excitedly happy to make my assignment read allowed in class.
I'm still not convinced that was richard
@Doris Karloff There was a DNA test, to a distant cousin in Canada-descended through his sisters line. It was a match. It was Richard III
Interesting how they gave Richard III a funeral service all these centuries later. What an unusual yet remarkable series of events.
good, i like this
I was around 12 when my parents took us to the Tower of London and I remember my father explaining the princes in the tower to me, it was always very unsettling. I believe those bones are the two princes. Rest In Peace young sirs.
Is no one gonna mention that there was an episode of Black Butler featuring the 2 young princes? Episode 16
omg thanks for pointing that out
Yeah I thought too😱😱
That's why I clicked on this video. I remembered watching it years ago and I saw the two boys in the thumbnail and the episode appeared in my mind.
Why would we bring up an anime in a history video? Unless it's a historical work, it doesn't make sense to bring it up...
@@wareforcoin5780 BB takes place in the 1880s if I remember correctly. There's an episode regarding the two brothers in this video and smthn with a skull. Its been a couple years so I don't remember much but yeah.
Wait okay but Pedro and Inês’ story is actually very sweet, if a bit morbid.
very morbid and sadistic if you knew the whole story
The tale of Pedro e Inês is one of my favorite love stories, it's a part of "Os Lusíadas", which is a beautiful book written by Luis Vaz de Camões
Portuguesa ou apenas fã dOs Lusíadas?
Same
I have that book on my iPhone and I have serious 9th grade Portugal vibes 🇵🇹
The only good memories I have from my favorite teacher ❤️
I love their love story, I was named to honour her.
Luís Vaz... Sorry...
Pedro’s Dad really thought he’d just brush off the murder of someone he loved?Haha
damn the first story sounds something out of an actual fairytale. a secret love, lover dies, prince takes action and becomes king. and when he ripped out their hearts now that is what i call true love. kinda romantic 😭
The monarch shouldn’t be able to stop the bones being tested.
@Gary Allen That's not why. Richard III was tested, no problem.
@@Fairyviewroad and that is because his remains were found under a parking lot. The Queen doesn't own that. But she IS the Defender of the Faith of England. Which means she does have say over bones that have been interred in Westminster.
@@victoriadiesattheend.8478 I would have thought she'd have control over the parking lot, since she's the queen.
@@Fairyviewroad Those remains were, at the time, unidentified. She has control over royal remains, so the bones of the children, since they were already deemed royal.

I know it was back in the day and the concept of true love was alien to many people but I still find it stupid for Afonso IV to expect his son to just get over the fact that the woman he was so passionately in love with was murdered and said murder was ordered by his own father. It almost started a war between father and son but he was lucky that he died before things could escalate.
We knew what love was, We weren't all monsters,
We were humans too,
There was a war brief but bloody , but a peace was made were the prince promised he would not seek revenge after his father died , but he ended up taking revenge in very gruesome ways actually .
Ooohh I love the cheeky "will remain... unsolved" at the end
Explain it please.
@@syndicalistcat3138 its a reference to how they end their videos in *Buzzfeed Unsolved*
Ohh my those boys must have been so scared
There is no actual proof that anything happened to them. Many people thought one or both were alive for around the next 40 years.
Kind of like the Romanovs
@@SarahWilliams-es2yl no it's not like that, they were alive
@@janewright315 nope.
Always touching , when children suffer such a fate...
I looove your videos! I’m Portuguese and I love that you have 2 videos of Portuguese queens (at least from what I’ve seen)! I was so excited to know this video featured Inês de Castro ! Her story really is loved here! But maaaan, I was disappointed by your first sentence 😅 Yes, Inês de Castro was born in the Kingdom of Galiza, but Galiza is not in todays northern Portugal. It’s northern Spain. She was born near the border of Spain and Portugal, but she was not Portuguese by birth. She came to Portugal as a lady in waiting to the previous queen who was also “Spanish”.
well, truth be told, Galiza leans more towards Portugal than Spain...
Somebody should make a cinema on Pedro's love-life. That would be earning millions.
It has been done already.
@@ibtiago18 Not in Hollwood I think.
But that ind of romances are not fashionable any more, because of m2 and feminism
That's not really true, the woman was glorified by him, not devalued. He ripped the heart of the men who killed her, and he didn't took another wife until his death.
It cant be made as a Hollywood film because there is no obvious cinematic universe to build from it.
@@RisXXX why would a feminist against this movie?? Your comment doesn't make sense. Female and how she was treated with injustice in the history is the center of this story.

Pedro and Ines. That’s a real Love story, by the way what were those knights thinking? Did they not realize he would one day become king and fucking slaughter them. As he did.
the thing is, if they didnt kill Inês they would be killed by pedro´s dad, so either way they would die, soon or later
@@yu.czennie id prefer to not decapitate someone in front of their kids
@@yu.czennie you know, you’re right and I didn’t think of that. You hold a very valid point there. What I think I would’ve done is try and go into hiding and then one Pedro‘s father died present myself to him and say this is what he wanted me to do I thought it was terrible so i fled. Maybe he’ll be OK with it and give you a nice position at court or maybe he’ll kill you anyway Life in general was a complete and total gamble back then.
@@Meh-sn5kj it was middle ages, they decapitated people in public, in front of everyone. What's the shook
@@yu.czennie bruh i didnt say i was shocked lmao
Yay, you have no idea of important the story of Pedro and Inês is for the Portuguese. It has been written, rewritten, studied and used as nice Easter eggs in other works. Also, the way you say our names is so CUTE ( not bad, but not quite right either). Great work tho!
Such an awful story
@@lakkess3889 And yet, somehow, beautiful too ♥️
Eu falo Portuguese (some). De onde a senhora e em 🇵🇹? That story reminds me Ed Gein who wanted to dig up his adored mother but ended up digging several corpses and making things out of them in honor of his mother!

It's my favorite portuguese story, when we read it in our class i was just baffled that it was an actual true story, i just found it so sad and romantic at the same time! Oh also i saw were they are buried and their place of resting is just beautiful
Imagine a guy loved you so much that he cheated on his first wife to be with you had attempted to kill his own father and pulled out three peoples hearts because he was salty that they decapitated you omg

@@DoraWinifred mood tho
Nope not happening. I wanna keep my head.
Seems fair
Imagine getting cheated on. Imagine being the first wife and seeing your husband gallivanting with some other woman and making lots of kids. Screw that.
The two young princes could have changed the way monarchy is now
Everytime I hear about the two princes, I just remember that one Black Butler episode that was focused around their ghosts. I didn't even know their story at the time when I saw it, but when I learned about it, it blew my mind that they'd include them.
Why does it seem like Game of Thrones took a lot of ideas from the histories in this video?
Because it did, the author himself has said that he was inspired by the war of the roses ( war where the princes died) and by these kind of stories and events.
That's where he gets most of his ideas
It’s actually more likely that Henry 7th had the boys killed. Richard didn’t really have a reason to kill them by that point. They even held a mock trial for Richard and he was found not guilty.
Right? What better way to get rid of your opponent then to frame him for murder? He was notoriously good at PR campaigning. Most of the Tudors were good at framing themselves in flattering lights
I've always thought that his mother, Margaret Beaufort, carried out the order. If I'm not mistaken, Henry hadn't even arrived in England yet by the time the boys vanished.
@@Saelyse She very well could have ordered the boys death. She was a very powerful person.
More then a few academics who specialise in Court Studies agree that Richard 3rd was the most likely to have had the Princes murdered, due to timing , Henry 7ths’ alarm at the prospect of the pretenders claiming to be them during his reign which suggests he didn’t know what happened to them and the fact that when London citizens asked ( and asked repeatedly) to see the Princes during their captivity in the Tower of London this was refused by Richards privy council .
Richard was not the real King. He usurped the throne.

Guys back then: Hold my beer 💀

I'm from Portugal and the reference to Inês de Castro made me so happy.
It made me really happy too. Are you from the islands or mainland?
@@LEMON-bo2bq from the mainland
i’m going to start a band for the sole purpose of naming it “royal exhumation” lmao
Pedro and Ines's story reminds me of Wuthering Heights. The way Heathcliff loved Catherine. Although there is toxicity involved and everything but their love reminds me of Pedro's love for Ines specially when Heathcliff digs Catherine's grave and sleeps beside her. Reading wuthering heights made me romanticise death(which i know is disturbing). The way people would go crazy when their loved ones die and the way they can't accept their death
.The intensity of their emotions. Everything is so pure and i love it.
Pedro and Ines, how I wish someone loved me and was devoted to me as he was to her 🥀
I'd hate it knowing that someone killed so many people because of MY own death. I don't know about you but that story disgusts me a little.
I honestly love the story of Pedro and Inês so much. I first read it in a Royal love story book but what he did after she died was a bit out there.
Ikr! It's quite cute, but after her death it gets really messed up
Damn, Pedro seems like an amazing man. Usually, Kings kill their wives to be with another. Then gave his new wife and kids the world. That’s love.
That’s sweet and all but he still cheated tho
@@aidahuman To be fair, practically no royal couple cares about their partner and is part of an arranged marriage. And we don’t know if his son with her is actually his. She could have had a man on the side as well.
So fascinating! Thank you. The discovery of Richard III’s skeleton under a car park was indeed amazing. I remember it at the time and I could hardly believe it, it sounded like something from a novel or film. Detective writer Josephine Tey once wrote a book called “The Daughter of Time” in which she tried to rehabilitate the reputation of Richard III. She believed that the story of him having been hunch backed was fictitious, however we now know from his remains that it was true. If that bit of the story was fact, then it’s more likely the part about him assassinating the two princes would be substantive as well, and could one day be confirmed. Truth is indeed the daughter of time.
That's the first thing I thought of when the skeleton was found. Before then, the Richard-ites were every bit as convinced he was "straight and handsome" as they are about him not having the princes murdered. I usually like Tey, but The Daughter of Time reads like a weird conspiracy theory. One of the proofs more or less seriously presented is that in his portrait, Richard looks anxious or nervous, and maybe that he has something wrong with his liver or kidneys or something. As if a killer could never look like that.
Harriett Lyall, nothing could be further from the truth. Scoliosis is not kyphosis. Thousands of people around the world have scoliosis and show no outward signs unless their torso is exposed. All the claims about Richard III being a hunchback rose after his death. There are no accounts during his lifetime of any noticeable physical problems. In fact, he was known for his prowess on the battlefield. Exactly how would you fit someone with a hunchback into heavy armour and expect them to even move?
Not exactly true. He didn't have a hunchback (a pejorative word), he had scoliosis, which doesn't make you hunched over but gives you a raised shoulder--which is the only thing he was described as having by John Rous. It would have been hidden by his clothing and only became known after his body was stripped. The withered arm and limp were both pure fantasy from More and Shakespeare (neither contemporaries), as are the drawings and depictions that make him look about 60--he was 32! We'll never know about the princes but certainly other suspects have been mentioned in period documents written within a few years of the event--most notably the Duke of Buckingham. We know many things written about Richard WERE definitely nonsense--he was never going to marry Elizabeth of York, he never had his brother George drowned in Malmsey, he didn't force Anne to marry him or poison her, his didn't kill her first husband, and the death of Henry VI was on Edward's orders. Shakespeare even made him childless--in reality he had a son who died young, and he also had two illegitimate children born before his marriage, whom he acknowledged, looked after and educated, seeing that they got good positions. One of them, btw, is thought to have been imprisoned and done away with by Henry Tudor, who also killed Edward of Warwick, the son of George of Clarence, who he had banged up in the Tower since age 10. Interestingly Edward of Warwick was alive and well in Richard's household before that--he was a 'threat', born of an older brother, some would say his claim was better than Richard's--so why was he left alive if the others were killed?
@@sonofherne For one thing, Sir Thomas More was a contemporary of Richard III (More born 1478; R3 died 1485). And have a look at the skeleton: culture24.org.uk/history-and-heritage/military-history/pre-20th-century-conflict/art492851-Experts-Richard-III-battle-injuries-infirmary-remains-help-create-new-skeleton He had SEVERE scoliosis. Granted, he didn't have a withered arm, but having one shoulder far higher than the other would lead him to hold his arm in a way that would lead people to think he had. Try it yourself at home: hoist one shoulder that high, stick your head forward, and try to do things with your arm with the usual range of motion. Then try to walk around without seeming to limp. Keep that shoulder high! :)
You need to watch this then and see what the doctors say... czcams.com/video/fDHDvnnK4nI/video.html

Well, at least he honored his half siblings and acknowledged them as relatives.
Giving them their rightful place as “royalty by blood”.
They were HIS illegitimate children
It's extremely rare to have real historical figure in power who show such dedication to their be loved.
Special in a time when monarchs married for interest only!
With respect to the Princes in the tower, Sir John Knight, Sargent surgeon to Charles ii examined the remains that the workmen found under a staircase where they were working. Sir John after examination of the remains declared that indeed these were the remains of the Princes and personally placed them in an urn where they remain to this day at Westminster Abbey. (Validation with current forensics required here). Sir John Knight was my 10th great uncle.
I am glad you mentioned 'current forensics'. From an archaeology perspective, it's unlikely to be them. They were in an ancient layer 10 foot under (and remember the burial was supposed to be in secret, dug in one night--and there was a household of 150 people living in the Tower in 1483! It was not a prison as it became under the Tudors--it was a royal palace!). The Tower is on a Roman site. A child's skeleton found in the 70's was carbon-dated and it was Iron Age. If it had been found 300 years ago, it would have likely been thought to be a 'prince.'
@@sonofherne From what I read about the testimony given by Sir John Knight at the time, he stated that there were 2 sets of skeletons, ages between 8 and 14, hence the conclusion. As you quite rightly concured, modern forensics is required to validate. BTW there are other forensic validations required for other 'Royal skeletons', eg Edward IV amongst others. Paternity was questioned at the time.
@@marksadler4104 no, the paternity of Richard Duke of York was in doubt but Edward was indeed the father of the Princes. Nobody has never said the contrary. The problem is that he had married another woman before Elizabeth Wydeville while the first wife was still alive and that meant the marriage was invalid and children bastards. that was the marriage law of the time. The consequence is that Richard was the only legitimate heir to the throne. He was elected by Parliament, he was acclaimed king. The narrator used the word usurper... What about H7 then??? It's shocking....
@@chandos2008 Edward iv was indeed the father of the Princes in the tower, however I was referring to the question of Edward iv father....
@@marksadler4104 Yes, Blaybourne the Archer. Equals 66 in Chaldean.
Finally someone covered Ines de Castro thank you so much for that.
King/Prince Pedro is the ride or die husband I want. Loyalty to the literal end and beyond... (because he dug up her body 😅)
I wouldn't like it. Knowing someone killed so many people because of my own death...
So many sins ;-;
Oh wow oh wow oh wow!!!! That first story was a good one! That prince was the epitome of being *IN LOVE* ... another great job 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Finally some recognition for Pedro and Inês. Beautiful but incredibly sad story
Great video! I would love to see more videos about royal exhumations. I would also like to learn more about monarchs and royals who have been executed or assassinated.
Please make part two, this is so epic and original
Yay! Love your channel, you’ve done a great job of making this month spooky on your channel!
I'd love to hear Royal Ghost Stories! Especially regarding Queen Anne Boleyn, The Headless Queen of England!
the two innocent boys really gets me that there was no protection for those children
I really enjoyed this video. Succinct but entertaining and informative. Thank-you for taking the time to create !
Great segment!! I love the more gory truths of our worlds history...totally geek out for it, actually.....plz do some more and all hail the corpse queen!!
The current royals won't let you do anything that would question their legitimacy. Pedro, & Inez could have been the seed for Romeo, & Juliet.
The first story took my heart. Just beautiful how true love never ends. I dont believe that type of live exists, anymore. Go, Portugal!!!! The story could be a movie.😢❤💛 My grandmother's name was Inez, too.😭😭😭😭
Wow! Thank you Ms. Lindsay for the very informative history👏👏👏❤
Thank you for your videos. I love the way you tell the story and use historical artwork.
Im Portuguese and the tale of King Pedro and Inês is very famous here
I remember reading many years ago that the skeletal remains of two unknown children were discovered in the Tower of London.
Wow I love this channel sooooo much! History is my favourite subject, and I’ve learned much more for these videos than I ever have in school lol
Keep up the good work!!!
That first story was so tragically romantic!! I loved hearing it. I already knew about the young princes. So sad that their own relative would have them slaughtered like that. I love all ur videos. They're all so detailed & informative. And your voice is lovely to listen to.
Woah..... Do both of us have some sort of destiny??
- When I am interested in Chinese History, especially Wu Ze Tian, your video about Empress Wu Ze Tian appears.
- When I am interested in Portuguese Monarchy and especially morgenatic wives of the Portuguese kings, especially Inês, a video mentioning her appears.
Thank you Lindsay!💕 The first one was pretty sad.
Lindsay thank you for these stories we grew up knowing Inês so hearing it from you is cool
Very, very interesting. Great stuff! But I think the wonderful narration really puts it over the top! Thank you!
I loved those stories. I still love how truth is always stranger than fiction
Finally someone talking about my country Portugal and about kings and queens!
I really like your story-telling ability. Very nice to listen to!
*Thank you for this video, you were well spoken and made it enjoyable.*
This is so crazy 😭 can you make a part 2?
This was amazing. Can you do more, please
This is my favorite video you’ve done!!
love your videos !!!! Thanks for doing what you do !!!!
never disappoints 💕💕
I feel so bad for the boys they didn't deserve that, they must have been so scared
Thanks for the videos 😀 love them !
Thank you so much this was truly the best of the best!
I felt the first story and cried. Awww :( you can just feel their love that even in their afterlife they want to be together again
Ooo, you should have covered Kateryn Parr! She was dug up *twice* and apparently was in very good shape the first time around, *200 years* after she had been buried
“Katherine”. Don’t get cute with the spelling.
Patrick3183 The actual historical figure signed her name “Kateryn”
@@Patrick3183 her name was spelt many different ways
@@Patrick3183 people could barely read back then dawg it's not a big deal how it's spelled now
@@Patrick3183 you really thought you said something too🤣
What a stories !!! Very interessting ! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us. 🤔🤔🤔
Very gripping video. Love your channel!
God bless you Ms. Lindsay Holiday.
Hi! Sorry for the correction but Galicia is a region of Spain sited right up north from Portugal but not inside portugal
I believe at the time, it was within the boundaries.
@@woomeebly it wasn't. Galicia was at times briefly part of portugal, but it only lasted a few months, not during the time of this tale
Very interesting video! And the great pronunciation of the names Pedro and Inês! I hope to see more stories of the Portuguese monarchy in the future. There are a lot to explore
I must say, I truly enjoyed your presentation! Thankfully, New subscriber
CJ T.👏👏👏👏👏💕🙋
Lindsay: he was easily defeated, captured and hanged
Me, chopping potatoes: lmao
Lmaooo why was this me cooking pasta last week
The story of Inês and Pedro is honestly heartbreaking. Those poor children; I can’t imagine watching my mother die like that. And poor Pedro - no wonder he went insane. He must have loved her so much. I hope they’re both resting in relative peace.
I love this channel it’s so interesting and soothing
Great video! Really enjoyed it.
