Royal Unions: Avis to Habsburg Dynasties' Marriage Saga

- Thought most of History Royal Weddings had nothing to do with love. Marital alliances were forged and broken based solely on the political needs of the various ruling dynasties.
The men and women born in this families were raised to married whomever their family decided in order to ensure its survival and prosperity. If love ever became a reality between these couples, it as a happy and rare consequence of marriage, not the reason for it.
On the contrary, in his treatise, O Leal Conselheiro, written around 1438, King Edward of Portugal warned married couples to the dangers of love and passion, advising theme instead to pursue marital friendship based on mutual respect and support.
Thought the 16th century the ruling houses of Iberia, the Habsburgs on the Spanish side and the Avis on the Portuguese one, successively married each other generation after generation. These alliances secure the power and continuation of both dynasties, creating complex ties of familiar and political interdependency.
To understand the origins of the marriage alliances between the Aviz and the Habsburgs during the Renaissance is necessary to go back in time, to the so-called age of the Reconquest, the moment the seeds of the Iberian Cristian kingdoms were planted.

Hope you enjoyed the video! If you did, don't forget to like, subscribe and comment. I would love to know your thoughts on the Habsburgs and the Aviz.
Thank you! super interesting site. I love that you always add this type of information.
This period of the Portuguese history is so interesting and intriguing at the same time. D.Sebastião is certainly part of this mistery. A kingdom without a king and a suitable heir. Another great theme for a film.
And a cardinal becoming King always thought that was so weird
Ironic the habsburgs had more in common with the egyption pharoahs than the previous spanish dynasties marriage-wise.
This is an extremely interesting video about a period in history which I am extremely interested in… And I must admit that I just love the narrators voice
How did I miss your channel!? I watch about history all the time, but this is the 1st time I've seen your vids pop up for me! Well you do a great job, and tell much more details than other CZcamsrs! For that , You've earned my sub! Thank you so much for being different in a YT world with so much of the same. Your channel is refreshing to watch and listen to! Thanks so much!!
Fascinating history.
Parabéns pelo vídeo! É a primeira vez que vejo alguém falando sobre os Habsburgo não terem sido pioneiros nos casamentos consanguíneos (ao menos na Península Ibérica). Já estava mais do que na hora de tirarem esse crédito deles! Porque eles só continuaram uma política que já acontecia há anos, só subiram um pouco o nível. E mesmo com a extinção dos Habsburgo, os Bourbon Espanhóis continuaram com a mesma política, expandindo para os Bourbon Italianos.
Really really interesting, thank u so much for this video
I have never heard of the lost of king Sebastian, so intriguing
Thank you! super interesting site. I love that you always add this type of information.
What an extremely interesting video… And I must admit that I fall in love with a narrators voice…
Awesome video, thank you.
Your videos are excellent - detailed and informative. Keep on posting!
Thank you so much for the video. Very interesting.
😉 thanks!
I've only just stumbled across your video...and it was fascinating :D Thanks for the work.
Hello 😍 hope all is well with you! I haven’t seen a new video from you. My best to you and yours. 🇺🇸
Thank you very much.
russian roulette marriages 18:17 love the expression!
Wait how did Catherine de Medici claim the Portuguese throne? Googling it only comes up with a forum that talks about her mother’s descent from Afonso III and Matilda of Boulogne but Afonso didn’t have children with Matilda and divorced her when he become king
I think one of the biggest mistakes the Catholic Monarchs made was to marry Juana to Philip the handsome...
Super interesting - sad as well
Are you planning to make another video ? Cause for the last 10 months you didn't upload anything, and it would be a great loss to see such a good channel simply dissapear :c
i am planning to start uploading more videos soon 😉
I really keep my fingers crossed :) I know this may sound a bit far fetched, but I really think that a better non english perspective is nedeed on Spanish and Portugese history. I still think that for normal people anglo-centric history of 16th century is dominant, and your work can bring some change to that ☺️
And I know that the views on your channel might not give you so much motivation to keep uploading, but trust me with time people will apreciate your channel more and more. Above all other things...this work will not influence profesjonal historians but general audience...and I just think that is far more important than any univeristy work that is recicved only by few for the few. So with all my heart i keep my fingers crossed;)
great video i love it! im going to have to watch it a few times to get to know whos who in all the hapsburg family. i know most but not all. its mind boggling because they all married within the family im always working out how so and so is related it can be confusing, its funny i sometimes sit here with pen and paper writing it down . ha ha. its neet ive always been fascinated with their family. i wanted to ask also were maximillion and mary of burgundy related were they maybe cousins and were philip and juanna the mad related? i ask because i wanted to know if the in breeding started with them, or who it started with. you probably cover it in this video im going to watch a few times.
I am glad you liked the video :) I agree, the habsburg family tree is a tough one. Maximilian and Mary of Burgundy were related. They both had common ancestors, but their families weren't particularly close (at least directly). Closer to their life lifetime they both dsecended from John I of Portugal, Maximilian from his mother, Leonor of Portugal (John´s granddaughter) and Mary from her grandmother, Isabel of Portugal (John´s daughter). Isabel was Leonor´s aunt.
@@IntoThePast thankyou I’ll keep watching and try remembering. I always did think they must have been related somehow.
Can you do a love story of Pedro I and Inês de Castro? Obrigado!
Fun fact !
_ Queen Maria II of Portugal and her husband a Ferdinand II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha had a daughter called Maria Ana.
_ Maria Ana married Prince George of Wettin and became consort Queen of Saxony.
_ King George and Queen Maria Ana of Saxony had a daughter called Maria Josepha.
_ Maria Josepha married Archduke Otto Francis of Austria
_ Archduke Otto Francis and Archduchess Maria Josepha had a son called Charles.
_ Archduke Charles I of Austria married Zita of Bourbon-Parma
_ Archduke Charles I and Archduchess Zita of Austria had a son called Otto of Habsburg
_ Otto von Habsburg married Regina of Saxe-Meiningen
_ Otto and Regina had a son called Karl
Archduke Karl von Habsburg born in 1961is most recent descendant of a Portuguese Monarch , Queen Maria II.
The current Duke of Braganza is a descendant of Miguel I of Portugal , Queen's Maria II uncle but Karl von Habsburg is himself also a descendant of Miguel I of Portugal because Zita's mother was Maria Antonia of Portugal , a daughter of Miguel I of Portugal and Princess Adelaide of Löwenstein.
During Salazar dictatorship in Portugal they ignored Queen Maria II descendants , jumped one generation and gave the title of Duke of Braganza to a descendant of her father's brother but the truth is that Karl von Habsburg , his son Ferdinand and his daughter Eleonore are the most direct descendants of the a Portuguese Monarch are descendants of Both Miguel I and Peter IV, Queen Maria II father.
Antes que los Ausburgo estaban la casa , la corona de León ,Castilla, Aragón, Navarra, Tratamara, y .....Augburgos. Y otros europeos .
That was a fascinating account of the incestuous intermarriages between the royal families of Portugal and Spain. I live in Portugal now and it’s enjoyable to get to know his history. All I can say is that they sacrificed a lot of their children for political ambition.
Great! Can I repost your videos on another platform?
Porque é q nao. chamam a Belgica e Suiça, very tiny country e ao Luxemburgo, a tiny microscopic state? Suponho q é por nao se deixarem inferiorizar, tal como alguns portugueses ainda o fazem..
rei Eduardo de Portugal?????????
O autor do Leal Conselheiro? Sim
@@IntoThePast não era Eduardo era Duarte
@@isabelbarataalmeida7614
Eduardo Duarte Nuno foi baptizado com o nome do seu bisavô materno o Rei Eduardo III da Inglaterra e é hoje também conhecido como D.Duarte I de Portugal.
Eduardo é o mesmo que Duarte.
