  • Margaret Pole is probably, unfortunately for her, best remembered for her botched and unjustified execution. But how did the last Plantagenet woman get from being the daughter of a duke and niece to a king, to being on Henry VIII's hitlist? This video looks at Margaret's life, the hardships she endured, the choices she made, and what led to her horrifying death...
    **NOTE** I made a silly error when recording, and said Richard III was Gloucester's 'older brother' - obviously he was not! I have since edited the video, but depending on when you are watching it, you may still see this error for a few more hours until CZcams processes the video.

You can tell Margaret really loved Mary and probably saw her as her own daughter. After being barred from seeing Katherine, Mary definitely needed a kind, loving mother figure.

    I would also like to add that I am really glad that Margaret was there with Mary(later Queen Mary)Tudor during a very difficult time in her young life. At least for some time Margaret was with Mary before Henry removed her of her charge of caring for her young royal cousin.
    I always felt deep sympathy for Mary Tudor who would later be known as Bloody Mary. I often think what her life could have been or how things might have turned out differently for her had Mary been shown more compassion and love. By no means am I excusing Queen Mary I of the atrocities that were later committed in her name during her reign.
    From my readings about Mary I, I can't help feeling sorry for her sad life but I often see her kinswoman, the Contess of Salisbury as a strong influence and beacon of light in her life during some turbulent times. I think Mary could have gone on to be far worse if it had not been for that matriarchal guidance in her formative years by Maggy Pole.
    That's just my thoughts about Mary I and the Contess of Salisbury.

    • @HistorysForgottenPeople
      @HistorysForgottenPeople  Před 4 měsíci +11

      No, I totally agree! If Mary hadn't been denied a mother figure of any kind, she might have been softer in years to come. I think her later actions were exacerbated by not being able to publicly blame her father, either, from the fact he was anointed king, to the fact it was 'your father is in charge' in the 16th century.

    For the question, I am entering Queen consort’s territory👹
    How would you order the Plantagenet Queens consort from best to worst?
    For me, it’d go
    Eleanor of Aquitaine, she did cause quite the stir during Henry II’s reign, but with sons like that I feel like her help wouldn’t have been needed for it to happen eventually, plus she held things together during Richard and John’s reigns- I can’t but admire her greatly
    Phillipa of Hainault- all in all what a Queen should be, I feel- not passive but not aggressive, and did an amazing job in raising her kids, especially when it came to a sense of a unified family (even though that sadly didn’t pass down over the generations :’)
    Eleanor of Castile- was a great patron for many things, loved by her husband, kids and people (plus we got the Eleanor Crosses out of her tehehe)
    Margaret of Anjou- ok hear me out: she is considered the worst by some, and the cause of the Wars of the Roses, but I believe the two main causes for the Wars were Henry VI’s weak rule (I think he was a kind chap, I do, but not suited for kingship) and the selfishness of Richard, Duke of York, Throw in the ambition of Henry’s advisors and you got yourself a civil war. I think Margaret was what prevented the Yorks from winning it all much sooner, it was her efforts in fighting for her husband and son that continued to press on the Yorks, and I think the Lancastrian cause would’ve died very quickly were it not for her. Nor do I think she was greedy for power for herself- I believe she was fighting for her son and his right to the Crown. She also must’ve had very thick skin, but, in the end, suffered so much, she literally lost everything :(
    Isabella of France- I like the She-Wolves haha- she was a helpful consort in Edward’s early reign, and, when said reign became unbearable to nearly all, she pushed him out. Now, her regency gig w Mortimer wasn’t good, but her takeover of the throne did nevertheless lead to Edward III taking the throne. I also think she did a great job in raising him.
    Anne of Bohemia- a calming influence to her husband, grew up in and cultivated a sophisticated court.
    Catherine of Valois- tbh Idk much about her, but she did spawn the Tudor Dynasty so, kudos to her
    Eleanor of Provence- it’s getting harder now lol, she was, in part, to blame for the poor finances in her husband’s rule, as he was so very generous😭 but there were other causes for it, and as a person I like her
    Elizabeth Woodville- I don’t like her very much tbh, and I think she and her family would’ve benefited from collaborating with Richard rather than further antagonising him. Nevertheless, she was an effective consort, ig, and her rags to riches story is fascinating
    Joan of Navarre- she was unpopular and seen as greedy and overall mean, but Idk how much of that is rumor and how much is fact. She was also accused of plotting against Henry V, but that is questionable at best tbh
    Isabella of Angoulême- she was little more than a child when John wed her, and I don’t think she is to blame for the sh*tshow that was his reign, but she comes off as haughty to me, and not an easy person to deal with, rather treacherous at times, even? This last one may be a rumour.
    Now these 3 are the ones we don’t really know much or anything about:
    Anne Neville- I really wish we had more records of her istg
    Berengaria of Navarre- I mean she didn’t even set foot in England poor girl had no chance😭
    Isabella of Valois- she was 7 to 11 years old💀

    • @HistorysForgottenPeople
      @HistorysForgottenPeople  Před 4 měsíci +4

      Okay, so leaving out Anne Neville, Berengaria of Navarre, and Isabella of Valois, as they get a free pass due to extenuating circumstances;
      Starting with best:
      Philippa of Hainault - I have a total soft spot for this lady. Amazing queen, brilliant consort, great mother, and she did it all while being kind, sweet and dignified. I mean, I'm not like that, but I can hope! 🤣
      Eleanor of Aquitaine - She was again, a brilliant queen, but she was way more fiery than Philippa of Hainault. I admire that she stuck up for her own lands and autonomy, and I actually think she wouldn't have gone so hard on that had her husband not had a very public affair. And she was definitely the linchpin of the family.
      Margaret of Anjou - I hear you, trust me! She did make some errors during her queenship, but honestly, she was stuck between a rock and a hard place. The country was falling apart anyway, and then when her husband went into a catatonic state, some Duke decides to butt in and take the throne from her newly born son. She didn't take it lying down, and she fought for her son and husband even when she wasn't popular. Margaret's only real error was that she wasn't political *enough* against those on the opposing side. People were already against her when she arrived because she was French, and she still managed to create her supporters despite this.
      Isabella of France - probably shouldn't be this far up the list, but honestly, I just want to go back in time and high five her, haha! She put up with a LOT, and really did try to be a good queen about it. When she had the opportunity, she had taken so much crap off her husband that it broke her and she went with the first attractive man who (likely) promised her the fantasy she wanted. Unfortunately, she then goes down a little for being a bad judge of character, and not siding with her son instead of Mortimer when the choice came down to it.
      Anne of Bohemia - Seems like a kind and popular queen, did a lot to help ordinary people when she could. Sadly didn't live long enough to do more.
      Catherine of Valois - she was a nice enough person, again, one of those queens who wasn't queen long enough to make an impression in that way. I think she fell in love and married for love, so good for her regardless of her time.
      Maybe Elizabeth Woodville next? I like some parts of her personality early on in her reign, but then I don't really like the parts that came to light after Edward IV's death. If she and her family KNEW Richard wouldn't get on well with them, now was the time to bury the hatchet and try to come to a compromise. Yes, he went nuclear option too, and that definitely puts him way down any list for me, but Elizabeth didn't even try. Having said that, she was, by all accounts, a capable queen consort, which is more impressive considering she wasn't raised for the role. She's a tricky one as I go back and forth with her.
      Eleanor of Provence - I agree that she was maybe partly to blame for finances, and partly not. It's difficult as a lot of the sources about her were written by people who didn't like her, so who knows how much is true! She was well-educated and a good patron though, and it mostly seems to have been a Margaret of Anjou situation, where people got annoyed because she was 'foreign' and brought many of her relatives with her.
      Isabella of Angoulême - Oooh, she is such a tricky one, again. I think she was forced into an 'adult' role far too young, and as a result never really developed into a more mature person before having power in any form. She had a bad temper, and again, that's probably down to immaturity, but she never changed as it often got her what she wanted. As you point out, a lot of the conspiracy stuff surrounding her could probably all be false, and there is so much around both her and John that is likely to be false propaganda, and I admit I've not looked into it deeply enough. But she certainly didn't make anyone's lives easier, and she sounds like a very difficult person to get on with.
      Eleanor of Castile - Her death left some lovely 'Eleanor crosses' for architecture, and she was a great patron of the arts and culture of England. She was well liked by a number of people, and seems to have a good wife and mother. However, she also profited from a lot of dodgy dealings, including a lot that involved the exploitation of England's Jewish population (including profiting off the hanging of a large number of Jews), and she didn't seem to have an issue with it. Find that very uncomfortable, even for the time she lived in.
      Joan of Navarre ends up at the bottom of the list, but like all these lists, I don't completely dislike her, either! LOL. She didn't really make an effort to get on with the English people, and she preferred to stick to her Breton entourage. She was described by many sources as being greedy and somewhat selfish, and generally not liked by a lot of people. A good thing in her favour is that was a good mother and stepmother. Yeah, the conspiracy stuff against Henry V is difficult, but not impossible...but also because he took her son, the Duke of Brittany, as a prisoner. If she did plot against the king, it was no doubt stirred by maternal instinct.

That would have allowed Richard to show the bodies, and prove their death conclusively. The one who had most to lose if the boys were still alive, was the usurper Henry Tudor. He had no real claim to the throne. He did have a dreadful mother, who had access to the boys. Read a bit more about it. Nothing was said about the death of the Princes during Richard's life time. O ly after his brutal death did the Tudors make the claim of murder. Not saying he didn't do it, but it's not likely.

      @@HistorysForgottenPeople I think George may have been maligned like Richard. He was certainly greedy and fickle but I suspect he really believed Isabel was poisoned. He even accused the Sheriff of Wiltshire who had been close enough to be called a 'friend.' This 'friend' later became a Tudor supporter. Bishop Stillington was gaoled around the same time as George but the reason why was never revealed. I believe he may well have told George what he later told Richard...about Edward's marriage irregularities. No real reason for him to lie--he was NOT rewarded by Richard in any way for that information. Tudor thought Stillington dangerous enough to imprison him in the Tower, despite his old age, and he died there. There were various conflicting rumours about Edward's marriage to EW long before 1483 and knowing his reputation, it would not surprise me if he had married a woman before Elizabeth using the same methods of a secret marriage. Pre-contract is not an engagement as some think...it was regarded as a marriage.

He would know, having by that time a reputation of trying to provide justice for his subjects. The Tudors could not have cared less about that. Yet guess whose reputation has been the sullied over the centuries while Henry VIII and his like are often glamorized.

Unfortunately, AI still leans towards making most people look like supermodels as there are less photographs on the internet of ordinary people without make-up, etc.

      @@Itried20takennames , yep…many generations will typically see expansion of descendant numbers. Descendants of royals and nobility tend to have better documentation of lineages than most families and DNA testing has brought many realizations of ancestors they were not aware of. They also, upon realization of the ancestor, develop interests in the “history” presented. All in all, I’m grateful for the escape from royal court these ancestors did achieve. Plantagenets Live, basically traced thru maternal lineages.
      Siri says that over 30 million people can trace ancestry to the 102 passengers and the 30 crew on the Mayflower which landed on PlymouthBay in 1620…considerably later…(just to get a scale on descendent population potentials. ).

      Wow. So vaginally they're interlopers. Explains their poor characters and behaviour in that case. Am I getting this...Margaret poles family was really the British royal family...ie the plantagenet. If so perhaps if we ever have the misfortune to have tge marbles in power we should find the plantagenet descendants abd put them on the throne instead. Is lady Di.s brother one...he seemed very dignified.
