Queen Maria I of Portugal & Brazil
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 07. 2021
- She was the first Queen regnant of Portugal and the first monarch of Brazil. She showed promise as a leader but a decade into her reign mental illness, brought on by her family’s excessive inbreeding and an onslaught of personal tragedies caused the Queen to deteriorate into mental illness. She was known as Maria the Mad.
Please consider supporting me at / lindsayholiday
Juana of Castile known as Juana la Loca or Joanna the Mad was haunted by mental health problems. She stabbed a romantic rival in the face and lived with her beloved husband’s corpse. Though it is likely that her husband, father and son exaggerated rumors of her instability to keep her under their control.

“Both Royal houses were descendants of the Habsburgs”
That says everything
The jawlines!
At least they weren’t ancient Egyptians-
I'm a Habsburg and a Bourbon.
Love the flag I’m ACE too 🤍🖤💜
@@bijeshmaroo6712 Egyptians be looking finer than...Habsburgs... idk 🤣
“Both royal houses descended from the House of Hasburg.”
Say no more.
The hapsburg jaw. Ew
Case closed.
“Hasbu-“
Yep that’s all you had to say...
All European Royal families did this.
I am a Habsburg and a Bourbon.
Oh the Habsburgs, the Targaryens of Europe.
Well, for madness,yes. But assuredly NOT for looks! No silver haired, violet eyed beauties among the Habsburgs…..
@@patpierce4854Excuse me, have you ever heard of Empress Leopoldina? Because you should
Interbreeding works well with polygamy, different wives delude the bad Genes in the family's pool. However every succession will be a game of thrones 😂
@@donijaya oh goodness! 😄
@@patpierce4854 aw man!
I wonder if Maria's visions of being in hell were PSTD flashbacks from the earthquake and fires that ravished Lisbon.
Oooo that explains a lot!
Your theory is very nice but thankfully the family was not in the city when it actually happened, they were in one of the palaces around that area. However, D.José, her father, was very traumatized By the events because he had to see all the devastation and forced the entire family to live in that palace made of wood (he named it “a real barraca” = “the royal tent”) out of fear for another earthquaque and told a lot of stories about Those events. that could have traumatized her to the point of imagening what would have been like and therefore think it was hell. Again, your theory is amazing
@@matildemarques6022 Ah yeah, what parents project onto their kids can have a massive influence. Maybe the father’s trauma over the situation likely influenced those delusions for Maria in the future.
@@matildemarques6022 Lisbon was completely destroyed by the earthquake, flames and tsunami. Seeing one's hometown reduced to rubble like that is sure to have an impact on a child's mind. Also, this was the 18th Century, and people had no understanding of earthquakes or anything like that. They must have thought it was God's punishment. Fun fact, it happened on All Saints' Day, and people were in churches praying with candles...
I'll bet a lot of PTSD sufferers throughout history were thought to be crazy or maybe even possessed.
Damn, the extinction of the rival family is some Game of Thrones type of shit.
No fr
I had the same thought. That was some “Rains of Castamere” level savagery!!!
There are some really good videos and podcasts about them. Look for the Távora tragedy if you feel like exploring more :)
I was thinking the same thing. He didn't just execute the people he thought were traitors, but went to the next level. Including the monument that became a urinal. Crazy.
The House of Távora is alive and well.
I really hope to see an episode about Queen Nazli of Egypt. Fun fact an Egyptian princess Fatimah Tousson married a Brazilian prince and convered to Christianity which caused a scandal in Egypt and she paved the way to many Egyptian princesses to run away with their lovers.
Wow I didn't know that story
@@amandaalves6936 her son is prince João Henrique
@@gostavoadolfos2023 can u give sources for this?
edit: i searched and prince João Henrique appears as the son of Fatma Scherifa Chirine, widower Princess of Alexandria and the other João Henrique (Maria of Orléans-Braganza) is listed as the son of Countess Elisabeth Dobrzensky of Dobrzenicz
Both of those stories sound interesting.
Bertholdt???
“Hmmm, most of our pregnancies end in miscarriage and stillbirth, our family is plagued by incredibly debilitating mental illness, and half of us are deformed! Do you think we might be the problem, like maybe marrying our cousins is like…Bad???
Nah, I’m sure it’s fine!”
And marrying our uncles? Nothing wrong with that!
Hell no, we’re Royal and anointed by god!
Are you Irish?
Cousins aren’t too bad. It’s worse when it’s brother and sister! Like when was it cool to be turned on by your brother!🤣🤣
@@breannegiard4910 I agree
“According to the law, her only marriage option was her uncle.”
Could . . . Could they not change that law? I mean, ewwwww!
I know that's lie. Of all the princes and kings living in Europe at that time, her ONLY option was her uncle.
Don't give today's morals the 18th century World. Back, then it was the norm. Heck, in early Shogunate Japan, the Emperor was supposed to marry his half-sister.
“Uncle niece marriages are not only gross, they’re unhealthy.” -Usefulcharts
Apparently it was a Portugeese law to not marry a foreign prince for her but idk. There were other options but they decided to keep it in the family because they feared other families would become too powerful.
If she marry any foreign prince she loose her Portuguese title (because sexist law), the other noble families are low to marry a princess, so... Before Maria they never had a reigning queen, just consort queens, the law simple don't contemplate her situation
@@leticiaduarte9840 yeah that is what I meant to say. Thanks
Real funny that only Queens are called “Mad” or “Loca” when George III got to keep his name clean…
Good point :/
Well, ya know, women are hysterical because of their hormones.
Testosterone isn’t a hormone.
Apparently
well,
King Charles VII was called the *mad* of france, as was his nephew,
King Henry VI of Lancaster, their common ancestor isbeau of bavaria was mad or had madness but also kept her name clean...
also king george III had madness, but not the title the *mad king*
and queen juana loco, the mad, and many other royals from denmark to florence, from caligula to commodus and egalabus*
also King ludwig II of bavaria, is called the *fairytale king*, or mad king....*
but his brother King otto was also mad, is not called mad...
Funny enough, Maria was declared insane by George III’s doctor, Francis Willis. Also, George III’s illness kind of came and went, while Maria was consistently ill after 1791. That, and she’s only known as “the Mad” in Brazil. She’s known as Maria the Pious in Portugal
With Joanna, she was probably wasn’t even insane, or it wasn’t to the degree that was suggested.
It's still debated tho because his letters to her wife doesnt sounds like what a mad man would sounds like
I’m Brazilian and I have to congratulate you on your pronunciation of the names.
Can you talk about empress Leopoldina of Brazil next?
Mds tô ansiosa pra ver um vídeo sobre ela
simmm!!!!
Queroooo
Eu amei a pronuncia dela! Que gracinha né?
O "João" é um desafio, né? haha
The habsburg jaw probably stretched longer than the distance between the two continents she ruled over.
LOLLL
More like stretched longer than the family relationships that separated them.
Good one!😄
@@areiaaphrodite funny 🤣🤣
Creased 😂😂
I like the fact Lindsay is focusing on Continental Europe alongside Brazil monarchies
Me too!
I agree
Yeah! So maybe you shouldn’t declare war?
I agree
@@SungSNam Who are you ?
Her pronunciation of "João" was impressively good haha 😀
Is it? The _ão_ sound is impossible for Anglophones.
It's not really that good
Look up the " Working In A Portuguese Doctors Office" video by The Portuguese Kids.
It's really not...
I knew it was over when "both royal houses where also descendents of the house of habsburg" came up
can you explain it to me please? xD
@@anubispt6002 the habsburgs were very famous for inbreeding so kinds had mental oder physical disabilities. So when this sentence came up I knew it had something to do with inbreeding✌💕
@@fej775 oh ok thanks 😊
@@anubispt6002 Maria Antoinette had the Hapsburg jaw as well.
In Brazil we call her "Dona Maria Louca" which translates to "Mad Madam Maria"
Cool. I didn’t know that. I love learning how something new! 😎👍
In Portugal we call her Maria the Pious.
I’ve read that Maria’s dad the king did a lot of rotten, unfair things to people. When he died, Maria kept seeing him on a pedestal in hell, looking horrible. Demons would drag him down, beat him, then he would reappear on the pedestal. She saw this repeatedly.
That is correct. She was haunted by images of her father in hell due to the measures he took whilst king. This was not helped by revanchiste priests constantly tormenting her about saving her father's soul from hell by upturning most measures taken during her father's reign to sanitise n modernise the country. The priests were relentless. Carlota Joaquina was an extremely common persons of her time. Saying she had loose morals is an understatement. She was a despicable creature extremely vulgar. Defying description. She caused a lot of problems leading to the civil war , during . She was a horrible person. Her husband was poisoned n i personally have no doubt that she was the one responsible. The creature was impossible
If you're ever inclined, please talk about the Bragança's curse. It's really interesting.
What is it about? Seems interesting!
@@bawonobudiwaskito the first born never survives in the hose of Bragança. It’s always one of the other children that gets the throne.
@@bawonobudiwaskito According to a legend, a Duke of Bragança cursed a religious man and he cursed them, saying that no firstborn child would ever inherit anything of them or sit on the throne.
Even if you take into consideration the child mortality rate, it doesn't explain how the would-be heirs still died in modern times.
@@donijaya And besides, back then women usually had their first child below age 20 (they were of course exceptions) and thus, their body was much weaker to bear kids.
@@bawonobudiwaskito Okay, so this is probably apocryphal but who knows. Apparently, the first King of the House of Braganza, John IV of Portugal, kicked a Franciscan friar begging for alms, which is essentially charity. The friar then cursed his line, stating no first-born son of the dynasty would ever live king enough to wear a crown. During the rule of Braganza monarchs in Brazil and Portugal, there were only 3 exceptions:
1.) Pedro V, King of Portugal, but he died only a few years after his mother, Maria II, of cholera without ever having produced children from his marriage
2.) Carlos I, eldest son of Luís I, who reigned for a good deal of time, but became the first King of Portugal to die a violent death since Sebastian of the House of Avis when he was assassinated in 1908
3.) Dom Pedro Augusto (Prince Peter August of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha), eldest grandson Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil from his second daughter Leopoldina. Although he lived quite a long life and was originally popular, he, like his great-great-great grandmother, succumbed to mental illness, and without ever marrying or having any children, died in an insane asylum in Austria in 1934
The curse has since appeared to have abated with the abolition of the Portuguese monarchy in 1910 and the Brazilian monarchy in 1889
When your portugese and have been waiting for this for ages
I'm a Brazilian, but same lol
Ikrrrrr
sameeee im super happy :))
My thoughts exactly
This is my folk.
Como estam?
As a Brazillian, i loved seeing some of my culture in your channel (big fan!!!) loved your pronunciation and how you tell the story of Maria, specially cuz many just make fun of her and call her mad
My mom was born in Brazil and is of Portuguese, African and Native American descent. All I can think while watching this video is “wow those are my ancestors”
The Portuguese history is full of wonderful weird things. Search for the love story of D. Pedro and Dona. Inês on Wikipedia. It's way better then Romeu and Juliette bc it's real.
If you ever come here you'll be amazed by the culture. So diverse, vibrant and even unexpected sometimes.
@@communism_is_based I’ve been to Brazil numerous times! I love it
Brazilians descend from common or low class portuguese people.i mean typical iberian people,not from noble or royal portuguese families which are rather from germanic,french ,italian and provencal descend
@@elsascridon7256 I know! No records of anything because my family was and still is very poor
That poor woman. What a tormented life.
"Maria I of Brazil"
me, a brazilian: I don't remember her.
"Maria, the mad"
me: oh of course, Maria a louca. I remember now :/
Bem isso 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eu ae
flashbacks das aulas de história kk
simm, nossa querida louquinha
Hehe
I’m always amazed by the amount of effort put into these videos
Me too, and the fact that she posts every week is impressive.
Same!
@@bijeshmaroo6712 indeed
The moment you said "Maria, princess of Brazil" I immediately thought "oh Mary the Mad", we all only talk about her like that here in Brazil.
Also, congratulations on the pronunciation, you did a rly good job. Can't wait for a video on Maria Leopoldina, the wife of the first emperor of Brazil.
As A Portuguese, I have to say, this was SO GOOD! and your Portuguese was lovely!
if by lovely you mean wrong then sure
My day before Lindsay uploads:😔🌩🌫
My day afterwards: 😇❤☀️🌈
Well I’m glad your day got better
same and this is literally true after i watched this video yesterday.
both mentally and the weather itself
I love Lindsay's "Queens of the World" playlists!! Keep them coming! Great work!
Hello from Brazil, great pronunciation of the names! I really like your channel and I would love to see a video about Empress Leopoldina of Brazil
"But some of their nine children were considered quite good looking."
HOW!?!!!
In comparison
Different time, different rules
Half of her children isn't sired by her husband, they lived many years apart but she became pregnant anyway (and Don João don't cared)
@@leticiaduarte9840 Maybe. Can't know for sure
Maybe they were lucky?-
As a brazilian, I haven’t even seen the video yet and I thank you
As a Brazilian myself, I thank you for this great mini documentary. I am anxious for further films about the braganzas, I can assure you they are all colorful and interesting. Their migration to Brazil was so impressive that one of carlota joaquina’s brother came here too, being the only male Spanish infante to escape Napoleon. Besides, our kings and Emperors’ many descendants were extremely important in western politics
Portugal was never in french control. There was 3 attempts at invasion all were unsuccessful. It was closer to a English military control of the territory than an french control, and politically the highest roles were all occupied by Portuguese nobles.
this !! i thought it was weird when she mentioned french control of portugal, perhaps she meant kicking french troops out of their outposts in the peninsula ? hope she puts out a correction/clarification to that bit !
other than that it was a great video ☀
YUP thank you for clearing that up. Os franceses que se lixem
I was actually recently wondering when we will see an episode involving Portuguese queens, glad the prayers were answered!! Hope to see more soon ^^
Yaaaay finally Dona Maria! Please do a video on Empress Leopoldina!
This is the best and most attractive way of learning history ❤️💖
She married her uncle?!?? Why did I not learn this in school??? The teachers seem to be bent on making history - especially the history of Brazil - so incredibly boring. They never taught the fun parts of anything!! I would’ve certainly remember this!
I wonder if it is because he was long dead before she became Queen of Brazil.
Congratulations on actually trying (and succeeding) to correctly pronounce Portuguese names! Always makes me happy to see creators' effort to respect the cultures. Love your channel ❤️

Hello, my lovely friend? you look amazing and gorgeous at profile photo. I wish I can be a good friend to you. How are you doing? ,
@@martinegood7798 shut up
Yesss
Elizabeth II the immortal.
I know I've said this a lot before in past comment sections, but you are sincerely talented at researching and storytelling. I love getting to know all about lesser known historical figures, and you do so in such a compelling way!
You did a wonderful series on Queen Victoria's children and grandchildren. Would you ever consider a series on King George III's siblings and his children? Proof of concept: His little sister Caroline Matilda of Great Britain, princess of Great Britain and queen consort to King Christian VII of Denmark and Norway, lived an incredibly dramatic, tragic life and was such a fascinating person you can't help but empathize with. A lot of his siblings lead interesting lives with plenty of scandal. And in regards to his children, Queen Victoria's uncles *and* rarely talked about aunts lived extraordinary lives, such as Princess Augusta Sophia, whom never "officially" married, but was rumored to have secretly wed a commoner. Her life leading up to that well-known relationship was so lonely and sad- I get major Queen Mary I vibes with how both George III and Henry VIII kept their daughters in marital limbo and deprived them of happiness in order to play political games.
“She was known as Maria the mad”
Me: sounds familiar
🧐🧐🧐Indeed
As a portuguese myself I am so happy to see someone talk about a monarch of ours. We have a huge amount of history and let me say that on top of being a lot it is also very interesting. Oh and yes. We and the spanish royal family intermarried A LOT since the beginings of our our existence so a lot of inbreeding there too. Finally, one of the firsts portuguese dinasties were a branch of the house of capet so our royal family was related to king Louis XIV. I am Sorry if my english is not the best but i could not help but comment due to the happiness im feeling towards the fact that someone is talking about the portuguese royal family 😊😁
So proud of the royals that enslave and oppressed human beings???
@@ayyb6789 First of all I think you should read what I wrote again. I don’t know What country are you from but as you May or May not know Portugal is not that big (in dimension) of a country and therefore our history is not spoken about that much despite us having almost a thousend years of it to speak about. On the other hand, and in case that you also don’t know, Portugal was one of the first countries in the world to abolish slavery in 1761. If you are an american citizan than that means that we had abolished slavery 15 years before The United States of America was even founded, and didn’t you also have a civil war because the southern states didn’t want to abolish slavery from 1861 to 1865? So lets not judge eachothers countries’ history Okay?
Slavery is awful and unfourtunatly still exists. However, i never mentioned being “proud” of my country taking part of it. What I said was that I am happy that the history of my country is being talked about in a history chanel as good as Lindsay’s.
Ps: in case you don’t know, when Maria I (the queen spoken about in this video) came to the throne, slavery had already been abolished by her father 😉
Maybe the next time you want to attack someone online just because the history of their country is being talked about and they feel happy just because that is not very common, you Will do your research because im very proud of being portuguese and all countries have done their fair share of bad actions and selfish decisions and slavery is just an incredibly awful exemple of that. So please stop harassing people online with those comments because they completly unrelated to me and probably the other people you have responded to.
,@@matildemarques6022 I wasn't attacking you, it still doesn't excuse what the royals did, they stole land enslave the natives, and oppressed them. And enslaved Africans and oppressed them, and it doesn't matter who stop slavery first.
@@ayyb6789 if you are an american that means that there wasn’t even royals in your country and you still had a enourmous civil war because a huge part of your country didn’t want to end slavery so you cannot aproach someone you never met online and tell them that they are saying that they are proud of the Royals that enslaved milions of people when that wasn’t even what I said at all and your country is not an exemple of it in no way. I understand your revolt towards slavery and I totally share that feeling, however, i should not be judge by you or anyone online for just liking monarchies and history in general. You cannot blame a particular group of people for something that envolved milions of people in a course of centuries. At least with the former Royals of my country action was taken and it was accepted rather peacefully
Can you do Isabel of Portugal , wife of Charles V , considered one of the most beautiful Queens of her time
Yes Yes Yes
YES! I support this! Such charismatic Princess, Queen 💞
Yes, the miracle of flowers was impressive
@@isisbathory It was Saint Elizabeth of Portugal (Isabel de Aragão) that according to legend performed that miracle.No doubt the Legend was influenced by the fact that her aunt Elizabeth of Hungary is said to to have performed a similar miracle.Nothing to do with Isabel de Portugal who married Carlos V.
In Portuguese her name is Isabel.
Even Maria knew she was screwed when she had to marry her uncle
as a Brazilian I've loved to watch this video!
I would love to see a video about Dom Pedro I/Dom Pedro II and their family
Hello there, how are you doing and how is the family over there?
There are absolutely no words to describe how much I love learning about history, especially the history of all the royal families. Thank you for this fascinating and wonderful channel and all the hard work you put into it! Love putting on your videos to relax after a hard day 😍😘
Don Pedro II last emperor of Brazil was a great grandson of Queen Maria I and he had a slight Habsburg jaw, hir mother was Maria Leopoldina of Austria who also was a Hapsburg. Maria Leopoldina had a very interesting and tragic life, hope you make a video about her soon. Her great great granddaughter Princes Isabel of Bragança, signed the Aurea law the freed the enslaved people, she is know as the redeemer, but that's is a very controversial title, cause se was not pro abolition of slavery, and until that point she hadn't shown any interest in the matter, and after signing the law she and the imperial family did nothing for the living conditions of the former slaves.
Edited: P.s.: I'm Brazilian.
Fellow Brazilian here! I also find it amusing the fact that Maria Leopoldina being the sister and best friend of Maria Luísa of Austria, had also become the sister-in-law of Napoleon Bonaparte!
I hope we can learn about the Spanish and Portuguese Royal families at one point. I’m 1/4 Spaniard. Would love to learn about my ancestral country’s history.
I really recommend a book series called The Catholic Kings by Jean Plaidy
Spain's rich history can't be summarized in one or 5 youtube videos.
@@gostavoadolfos2023 Sure it can. All of Spain's history happened in 1492. They were very efficient back then.

@@noellefritz5678In Portuguese, Jose is pronounced Zhosey, unlike in Spanish where J is pronounced like an H.
I know I keep asking but please do a video about Queen Anne of the UK. She is a really interesting figure and a lot of what is written about her is embellished and not all is correct she is always portrayed as a sickly, fat ugly queen who was cold and harsh but she was clever and strong and a brilliant strategic leader when it came to the military. History only ever focuses on her ill health and the female lovers. never on who she was as a queen
I’m wanting Elisabeth Feodorovna!

Wow amazing job like always.
thank you for bringing to light lesser-known historical figures! as someone who's from portugal, i rarely see our history mentioned outside of the history books. good job!
I think Maria made a very smart move to banish Pombal when she became Queen although I think it would have been better if she had just sent spies on him to make sure he wasn't planning anything suspicious.
"She married her uncle. Her father's older brother."

Thank you for such a great and detailed explanation!
you are ensuring a wonderful work and teaching generations what they did not learn at school !
I am Portuguese, and i´ve been following Lindsay´s channel for about 2 years now. I´m very happy and very grateful to have seen a full video of a portuguese historical figure in this channel. I was very happy when the Stuart Consorts video came out because it was the first time that a portuguese historical figure was introduced in the channel (Catherine of Braganza). I have to thank Lindsay for representing Portugal for making a video about the very interesting Portuguese history and to try to pronunciate the portuguese words as best as she could /they we´re actually quite good). I´ve been writing in the comments of multiple videos for a video about someone portuguese thinking it would never exist. I´m so happy i´ve got to see one. Especially of a female monarch, often forgotten by the portuguese people and overshadowed by the male monarchs. Once again, thank you so much Lindsay. You made my day.
Completely agree. D. Maria Pia is a really interesting figure of our history often forgotten
You sugar coated the relationship between Portugal and England, but it was still a great video! Congratulations!! A lot of people have already asked, but please talk about queen Leopoldina, emperor's Pedro I of Brazil wife
“And she married her uncle”……🙄🙄🙄😬😬🤭🤭….(Vomits in disgust)🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Someone's inspired by the Mad Monarchs page. Great work!
I just love your channel. I'm an introvert and your channel keeps my solitude VERY interesting! 💚💚💚
The phobia of earthquakes is so intense here in Lisbon were I live that this morning I heard a loud sound from the building and then all the lights went down and I immediately thought an earthquake was coming, but it was just the technicians trying to solve a problem with a neighbor's doorbell.
Tuesday is my favorite day of the week because of you, Lindsay! It’s the same old shit every day, but at least we get a new video every Tuesday ☺️
Me too
Ditto!
A very interesting video about a fascinating historical figure.
I really hope you can do Maria II of Portugal :) although her life was kinda short you’ll be really good at explaining her life
This video is good, but even better with subtitles
This was really interesting!
Finally a video about Portugal 🤩
Portugal has a rich and deep Royal history. Great video.
she seems like a fun woman.
-"what do you like to do?"
-"oh, you know, praying.... screaming... lots of screaming"
What a lot of people doesn’t seem to realize is that the marriage between queen Maria and dom Pedro was “necessary” for raison d’état. When Maria ascended the throne, her husband was expected to become King jure uxoris. Also, whoever was to become king would change the royal house from Bragança to another one (that of his birth).
Also, if infante Pedro was to have issue with another consort his descendance could become a rival cader branch. So, to kill two birds with one stone Maria married her much older uncle in order to secure the royal house of Bragança’s hold to the throne. At the same time, this too secured the fact that the new king would know Portugal, speak Portuguese, know the politics about the place or be influentiable. As such, the big countries would leave Portugal alone so as not to fight over whoever would become kking jure uxoris.
I am one of her great great grandfathers.
Thank you Lindsay for making a video about her.
Finally, someone recognizes Portugal as a country! When I ask someone, what country is next to Spain, they always answer with France.
I always wonder why most people abroad don´t have a clue about the role Portugal played along with Spain during the Christian Reconquest and the age of discoveries. Portugal completed the reconquest against the Moors 250 years earlier than Spain.Usually people know a lot about spanish history but very little about portuguese history and the important role Portugal played in shaping European culture and politics.
@@Belinda8881 Hollywood never turned to Portuguese history.
