Can you think of any other women from the Medieval period who exercised a similar amount of power, whether it was political, religious or social? Let us know!
She is a great cousin of mine. Raymond of Pons is a great grandfather through my Spanish line and hers as well. He died and faught in the crusades. Out of all my royal cousins/relatives she seemed like someone Id like to meet.
I'd like to see a video on Cleopatra Selene II, because although she is often overshadowed by her more famous mother (Cleopatra VII), she was an important co-ruler of the Roman Client Kingdom of Mauretania and had a very interesting life.
King Tamar of Georgia (yes she was called a king not a queen), because she actually was a king and her husbands were just consorts of kingdom not the kings. Tamar's reign is called Georgia's Golden Age.
I hope you make a series on the History of the Qing Dynasty. They also had a famous monarch, Empress Dowager Cixi, who was one of China's most influential and also its last female ruler.
They were definitely powerful, especially in those days. But they were still living in a man's world, so I'm sure they had every right to complain about the patriarchy. Thanks for watching!

My favourite queen.
She's one of ours too. 🙂 Thanks for watching!
She and Henry were my 25th Great Grandparents. Watch the great movie "The Lion in Winter" to learn about them.
Wow really?

Same, that's why I'm here 👍
My distant Grandparents also…
I don’t think that’s far enough back as many have said 54th great grandmother or something concerning Eleanor of Aquitaine
Great stuff! Could make a great TV show from this history.
Eleanor was clearly an incredible woman. I would have enjoyed meeting her. Isabella the first of Castile who be a good video.
Another great lady from the age, Hildegard von Bingen.
Here's our article on Hildegard of Bingen: worldhistory.org/Hildegard_of_Bingen/

King Tamar of Georgia (yes she was called a king not a queen), because she actually was a king and her husbands were just consorts of kingdom not the kings. Tamar's reign is called Georgia's Golden Age.
Interesting video, but more photos accompanying the narration would be great.
One of the best civ 6 leaders
Thanks for watching!

If you have not yet, can you cover either Mathilde, the wife of William the Conqueror, or Anne Boelyn?
Isabella of Angouleme!
Another fascinating historical figure. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Yes I know queen and her name is Kelly Macquire.
Ha! Thanks.

Caterina Sforza
Her and the Boudicca lady were pretty powerful. I bet the women back then still complained of the patriarchy
They were definitely powerful, especially in those days. But they were still living in a man's world, so I'm sure they had every right to complain about the patriarchy. Thanks for watching!
