    Really glad you covered this topic. Women are so often overlooked in history but they played a huge role, even during the periods that were the most patriarchal.

    the reason they aren't as mentioned is simply because men did more things although of course they weren't allowed the same amounts of freedom

    Great video! It's a shame how little their feud is discussed, it's absolutely fascinating and reminiscent of the best of Game of Thrones.

    Whenever you feel your wife, sister or any other woman out there is a bitch, just remember these two Merovingian queens and you'll get over it. (By the way, the video doesn't mention the part where Fredegund almost squashes her daughter's neck under a heavy treausure box lid when se tells her it's she who should be queen).

    Nah men do this all the time. Backstabbing and being manipulative was insanely common for men in power. Machiavelli wrote about amoral male rulers in The Prince after all. Women just had to rely on manipulation more because they didn’t have as much direct power.

    Not even the same. Hilary is a failure at everything except doing Benghazi. Brunhilda and Fredegund took out Kings and Queens. Y’all got to stop bringing her up all the time. Dick Cheney is worse.

    GENESIS 4:1 (exhaustive) And Adam knew Hava his wife, who had desired the angel; and she conceived, and bare Kain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the angel of the Lord. And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel (Abel). TARGUM (exhaustive) who had desired the angel; and she conceived, and bear Kain; And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel (Abel). Genesis 3:14-15 The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,cursed are you above all cattle, and above all wild animals;upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Fruit is the Hebrew word pirchach,, meaning progeny, brood, children or descendants. Genesis 3:3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
