Do you believe Anne Of Austria was a traitor for passing on information to her brother ? Should Louis XIII have divorced her ? Let me know how you feel !
Yes she was.
@@SarahKingsleyHaussman What we know well is the bisexuality of the Duke of Buckingham, the tender friend and "humble dog" of James I, another openly gay british king. I guess Buckingham was in France to make Louis XIII "happy", Itś funny to imagine an amusing "menage a trois" between James, Louis, and Buckingham....
@@luismiguelflor6390 he wasn’t “openly gay” wtf
@@Patrick3183 It depends on what your definition of "openly gay" is.
@@luismiguelflor6390 you are literally making shit up.
I'm amazed that nobody commented on the connection with the Three Musketeers! This is where I larned about Anne of Austria in the first place.
I might do a video on Alexandre Dumas at some point !
I kept thinking of Geraldine Chaplin, who played her in the Richard Lester movies about them!
It is so nice to see King Louis XIV give such a great compliment to his mother, considering what a jerk her husband was!
Thank you for watching and commenting Cindy !
Now it's clear where the Sun King's good looks are coming from. The portrait of queen Anne by Rubens is magnificent!
Louis was favored by the Fates beyond all measure - the pedigree, the intellect, the character, the station, the beauty and the times he lived in.
Rubens was a magnificent artist (although I might be slightly prejudice as I'm from Antwerp, where Rubens lived and worked). Thank you for commenting and watching ! Hope to see you again !
He was a VIRGO and we share the same BIRTHDAY
his brother the duke of orleans was way more handsomee
@@TheKingsofFrance But in this case, your bias would be correct. He could paint flesh the way no one else could.
@@angelabby2379 and gay
She was a brave woman who overcame many obstacles! 🌸
Yes, she was indeed ! Thank you so much for commenting !
She probably doesn't get enough credit for keeping the French throne available for her son until he came of age.
She was a great king indeed as quoted by her proud son. Gorgeous and devoted mother to her children and nation France. She gave birth to the greatest french monarch.
She was.. Thank you so much !!
She was beautiful and gracious and she reared Louie the 14th well. However, sshe wasn't loyal to France. She passed on war information to her brother in Spain.
i wont say Louis xiv was the greatest french monarch!! nope not at all!
I couldn’t agree more xx
@@Anesh10 the Sun King was a man of war , he ruined the people
Fun fact about Louis XIV: King Philip IV of Spain was his uncle through both his mother and father. His mother was the sister of King Philip IV and his father’s sister was the first wife of Philip IV.
It is remarkable not more royal were inflicted with disabilities like Charles II if you really think about it…
The high intermarriage rate of Spanish/Austrian/French royals probably increased genetic anomalies leading to high infant mortality rate in royal children. It probably explains why most of the children Louis XIV had with Maria Teresa of Spain died in infancy or were stillborn. Same happened to other royal families.
@@TheKingsofFrance Wasn't Maria Teresa's brother called "El Hechizado" meaning the cursed one due to his many Hapsburg inbreeding physical & cognitive ailments? Louis XIV was lucky to have one healthy boy survive into adulthood from Maria Teresa given her extreme Hapsburg inbreeding. Her lack of known intelligence or interest in anything challenging is probably evidence that she had some form of cognitive learning disability.
If I'm not mistaken Charles II Of Spain was her half brother... but yes, you are right. The deformities in Charles were extreme and he died without issue, after which Louis XIV's grandson became Philippe V, King Of Spain.
If I'm not mistaken the first wife of Philippe IV (mother of Maria Teresa) was a Bourbon whereas his second wife (mother of Charles II) was Habsburg just as Philippe. I assume the Bourbon genes did provide Maria Terese with an advantage but the fact remains that inbreeding was common in royal families. As you know even nowadays it isn't unheard of, as Elizabeth II of England married her cousin as well...
Wow I can't believe Anne was able to challenge the will and become sole regent of all of France! No wonder there were revolts, the optics on that is very bad. She seems like she was a brave, intelligent woman who knew what she wanted and how to get it!
Oh wait until you hear the shenanigans her predecessor, Maria De Medici was up to... (video will air on New Years day)...
I really enjoy your series about Bourbon Queens of France as it is very interesting but love to watch videos also about medieval Queens of France as they also had interesting lives.
Hi ! Thank you so much for commenting ! I'll slowly get to them. It is my dream to cover every single King, queen, and most royals of France, but it takes time for me to do so, as I can only do one video per week due to time pressure. But rest assured that sooner or later, they will all be featured on my channel.
I hadn't come across Nicole of Lorraine. According to Wikipedia she has an interesting story with a mean husband depriving her of her inheritance. You are doing a great job with so many interesting videos. Many thanks.
Thank you for your continuous support, I am amazed at how many people keep returning and commenting, it is such an honour !
I'm loving this channel! I have such a love for history! I have a particular obsession with French history hehe. Thank you for the great content. Greetings from Honduras!
Thank you Violetta, so glad to have you here !
I wonder how many Bourbons married Hapsburgs. If the two houses had united and become one, the British Empire might never have existed.
I wonder… thank you for being here !
Another great video on the early modern period of France!
You should do a series on the memoirs on the Duc De Saint-Simon
Thank you so much Mike. A video about him is coming, but I still have so much material ligned up that it'll probably be in the start of 2022. I wish I had more time to make videos. I have a thousand ideas, and so little time to execute them. But they will come ! Thank you so much for supporting me from the start !
My mom was 37 when she had me, and I'm a healthy and happy adult of 20 (gonna turn 21 this year!)
Maybe age doesn't define motherhood or fertility 😅 So do Anne and my mom haha
I know many people who went on to have a child after the age of 40, but, we can with certainty say that back then, giving birth was a more risky business than it is nowadays.
Although essentially a Spanish princess or infanta, Anne was "of Austria" because as a Habsburg, she was an Austrian archduchess.
Correct. Thank you for watching.
Her death was horrible . How she endured all that agony ? Who knows. But it was said that her breast cancer was so virulent , that the tumours were visible OUTSIDE of the body .
Thank you for sharing this informatin with us...
@@TheKingsofFrance Yeah , I read that . Just think of her agony This was an age without Morphine Sulphate , no Dilaudid , no Fentanyl patches .
I don't even want to think ......
Oh my god , how that woman must have suffered !
Love your posts. So informative and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching !
A significant fact of Royal life in France is the total lack of privacy for the Royal family.
The humiliation of Louis the thirteenth in the forced consummation situation would have been exacerbated by its being witnessed by influential nobles. All significant events had to be, including giving birth. Also everything from getting out of bed, dressing, retiring at night, eating meals and dying.
Yes, thats absolutely correct. I have some videos about Life At Versailles and a day in the life of Louis XIV in case anyone is interested. Thank you for watching Fiona.
I love your videos
Thank you so much for watching ! I am honoured !
I really appreciate and am very excited whenever a new video is released! Do you consider extending your coverage of Royals to the days of Bourbon Restoration and/or House of Valois?
Louis XVIII is scheduled for october, Charles X for november. Their wives and nobles in that period will follow. The house of Valois is indeed on the calendar as well. I plan to go way back with time ! much more to come !
@@TheKingsofFrance Gonna love it! Thanks for clarifying furthermore!
Since Louis XIII was probably gay, questions about the legitimacy of the Sun King persist. Richelieu may have convinced the devout Anne that infidelity in the interests of France was a pious act. While Richelieu's animus against Anne's Hapsburg family is legendary, he was also waging the Wars of Religion to rid France of Huguenots.
Actually scientific evidence proves that Louis XIV was a descendent of Henri IV. obviously though that could mean Louis was the son of Gaston D’Orléans, but for form let’s assume he was indeed Louis XIII’s son.

Yes, there wasn't medical treatments for infertility problems at the time. It's really a wonder how Anne of Austria had those two boys so many years after her marriage.
Anyone else watching this because of the BBC musketeers?
Haven't seen that series. Is it good ?
Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you and Rani your cat doing? I'm doing well. My cat Benjamin says hi to you and cute Rani your cat he sends his purrs and hugs to you both. My cat Benjamin put on some weight. He's a big cat. He loves eating lots of food. Is Rani your cat big or small? The weather is nice in Ontario, Canada. How is the weather where you are? Have a great day. I can't wait to see your next video soon 😊
So good to hear you and Benjamin are doing well. We’re doing well, although it’s really fall here now, lots of rain and wind.. Rani is doing well and enjoying naps on her blanket. My new video will air next Saturday, it’s a video about Louis XIV.
She was a very brave woman
She was a great mother as well. Thank you for commenting, Anastasia !
Louis XIV made the mistake of not continuing the pattern of finding competent & able Prime Ministers as had been done via Cardinal Richelieu & Mazarin. Had he done so subsequent kings would have also continued the practice & it could have avoided many of the disastrous policies followed by later kings. Louis XIV sowed the seeds that destroyed his dynasty.
It was a deliberate choice from his end though. Louis did not want the interference of a council or advisors. Right after the death of Mazarin Louis walked into the council, dismissed his mother, and informed his ministers that from now on not a single decision would be made without his concent...
@@TheKingsofFrance Agree that it was a deliberate choice by Louis XIV. He became a control freak because of the Fronde & all the intriguing by the nobles. Instead of trying to use noble factions against each other he crushed them. By neutralizing them in Versailles & making the nobles useless. Unfortunately this separated the nobles from the peasants & larger society. It cut off the noblese oblige social contract that had been the norm for centuries. Why would nobles care about the well being of their people or estates if their only avenue to power & status was in Versailles? Louis XIV created a gilded cage for France's nobles. Unfortunately it also caught his own heirs & limited their capacity to govern.
You are absolutely right. I will talk about this in a few weeks. I am working about a video about life at Versailles, where I talk about the nobility's move to Versailles, the reason and obviously the consequence this had for the third estate... You are extremely knowledgeable about French History I see !! Maybe I should learn from you !
@@TheKingsofFrance I'm flattered by your compliment 🙏. I don't know much about French history prior to the Bourbon dynasty. I became fascinated by that period when I looked into the French Revolution. I realized that to understand the revolution one had to read about the Bourbon dynasty.
The history behind the French Revolution is fascinating, as is the Bourbon Dynasty. I myself also am best at home when it comes to them. As a child I was fascinated by Marie Antoinette.
I should feel flattered that you're here. So thank you so much for commenting ! I hope you find value in my videos.
What an amazing woman!
Thank you so much for watching again Marina !
LoL, which one,?
Hi, Awesome live history video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon. Your videos are always enjoyable and relaxing. How are you and your cat Rani? I'm doing well. My cat Benjamin says hi and sends his purrs to your cat Rani. Have a great day see you next video 😀 greetings from Canada
Thanks Michelle ! Rani is a bit displeased with the cold temperatures we are currently experiencing. Luckily no snow though ! Give hugs to Benjamin for us !
If Anne was the daughter of a Spanish king...why is she called Anne of Austria?
The rulers of Spain, so her father, belonged to the House of Habsburg, which was the Austrian royal house. Hence she is named Anne of Austria.
THE SUN KING HAS MY BIRTHDAY HOORAY!!
Lol yay ! Be sure to come here on the 5th so we can gratulate you !!!
No wonder the Hapsburg's had chins that hung to the floor, and Royals had trouble breeding, their gene pools became identical.
Absolutely correct ! Thank you for watching this video as well Patricia !
I’m aware you upload weekly but do you have a schedule for your videos as in, do you have a certain day for when your videos are uploaded (every 7 days)?
I upload every Saturday at 21.00 hrs CET… that is 3 PM ETD if you’re in the States (not sure where you’re from)…
Le Duc de Lunes's grandson Charles-Honore married Jane-Marie the oldest daughter (and as far as I know oldest child overall) of Monseiur Colbert
Was King Louis XIII’s facial hair like his mustache and soul patch real or fake? 🎭🩰🎨
I see that the interlocking rings look like the infinity symbol
Thank you for watching and commenting !
I have a question. I know that all Spanish Hapsburg Princesses are entitled to carry the Austrian titles of Archduchess and "Of Austria". But why only Anne of Austria? Louis XIV wife was called Maria Theresa of Spain and not Austria. Philip II two daughters Isabella and Catherine Michaela are both designated "Of Spain" not of "Of Austria". Can anyone explain this?
As far as I can tell, it depends per country / language. Louis XIV's wife is also referred to as Maria Theresa of Austria.
Hello !
In French, we call Louis XIV's wife Marie-Thérèse d'Autriche, not Marie-Thérèse d'Espagne. She is styled as her aunt was.
Who is here after Sunday suspense????
Please could you do the Valois?
I will in due time ! Thank you for watching Vicky !
My favorite queen of france love this video
Thank you so much for watching and commenting !!! May I presume you're Dutch ?
@@TheKingsofFrance I am from belgium but the dutch speaking part
@@TheKingsofFrance I think your channel is great and very interesting I will recomand it to my fellow history and monarchist friends they wil love it
well… so am I ! i’m from Antwerpen !
thank you so much ! i am honoured !
Hello history youtuber
Hello Dank Memez ! Glad you stopped by and hope you're doing well !
How she learnt French language before marriage?
Huh, kinda ironic that she was Spanish & was called "Anne of 🇦🇹 "
It is because she belonged to Habsburg branch ! Thank you so much for watching and commenting !
@@TheKingsofFrance 👍👌
The men were more girly then the women in france
Anne of Austria approached a certain lady Catherine Bellier Baroness de Beauvais and asked her to make a man out of Louis XIV to this end Catherine took Louis XIV's virginity
I like it. Her several miscarriages upset HIM. I guess they were a walk in the park for her...
So was Anne of Austria ever involved in an extramarital affair with either Richelieu or Mazarin?
There are rumours about an affaire with Mazarin, but nothing has been historically proven and an affair would be quite unlikely in my opinion.
Is there any truth to the rumour that Louis Xiv was a twin?
No, there is no evidence supporting that rumour.
@@TheKingsofFrance thanks so much. I though so. 🙂
These people had huge noses 😳
I hadn't noticed... I might rewatch focussing just on their noses now haha !
Why the fuck did King Louis XIII have light brown or hazel eyes if his dad, King Henry IV had light eyes? Both of King Henry IV's parents had light eyes and all of his siblings had light eyes. 👑💍🇫🇷
Thanks for watching and commenting !
Because there’s 16 genes that code for eye colour and genetics aren’t like math, random combos happen. My dad has brown eyes, my mum has green, I have green blue and my sister has grey blue eyes. Genetics aren’t simple
Because genetics is weird it is not super cut and dry like they teach you in 7th grade bio class.
Louis XIII was flaming gay, wasn’t he? Who can blame Anne when he paid no attention to her, ignored and neglected her. Who wouldn’t be frustrated? Louis XIII was a selfish twit.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Louis XIII was gay,
It is assumed indeed. Although it has not been proven.
