During the Chinese Empress Wu's reign in the 7th Century, China was a superpower - the most prosperous and powerful nation on earth. She ruled for 50+ years until she voluntarily abdicated the throne in her 80s. She was the first pioneer of women's rights 1,500 years ago. She had a female prime minister and empowered women to be entrepreneurs. She allowed women to own properties, get divorced, dress sexier, ride horses, go hunting, etc. The Chinese historians who recorded her story were all men who resented women in power. Before and after Empress Wu's time, only men could serve as emperors.

Henry executed two wives, Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (if my memory serves, which it may not). He divorced two wives (Catherine of Aragon and I forget the other one). One wife died and his last wife survived him. Divorced, executed, died, divorced, executed, survived is the quick and dirty way to remember the fates of his wives. The names are harder, at least for me. I think it was three Catherines, two Annes, and one Jane, but don't quote me on that. Empress Wu didn't do anything that male emperors hadn't done, but people, particularly back then, tend to think that women should be especially caring. Back then they also thought they should be submissive. She was a strong women who defended her throne. I can think of several male monarchs who killed family members without being judged as harshly.

The video only highlights the bad in these rulers. Idk about the others but empress wi zetian opened up china’s trade routes and the Silk Road and built the country’s economy from 0 to 100. Her sons were useless and more into power than the actual responsibility of power and plotted to seize power. She didn’t kill the previous emperor to gain power but it was granted to her by her husband whom she loved and loved her and are the only rulers to share a burial ground which is rlly uncommon in China because where ur buried basically establishes your life’s accomplishments (think the terra-cotta warriors). She chanllenged Confucian ideals of the time which were women were better off stupid and if you weren’t u were unnatural and wack shit. She reformed women’s rights with the right to divorce and work freely. Ppl write horribly of her because she was judged like crazy for being a women. The killing and stuff were actually super normal in chinese royalty. Emperors in power often killed their brothers and father to get to the throne. She was honestly badass

Her husband wasn’t a dedicated leader to a powerhouse of a country so he had to go. Catherine brought Russia to a golden age due to her rule, she might’ve did some questionable things but she’s a staple in Russia’s history.

Catherine de' Medici, Queen of France, wife of Henry II, took part in ordering the massacre of Protestants, known as the "St. Bartholomew Massacre". Thousands of protestants (Huguenots) are said to have been massacred. Her son King Charles IX initially ordered the killing of several Protestant leaders, which turned into a massacre. However, it is believed that his mother Catherine instigated the whole plot. One could excuse them as an overreaction after an assassination plot against Admiral de Coligny, a Protestant leader failed, fearing Protestant retribution. It is not clear who ordered the assassination. The Protestants gathered in Paris for the wedding of Catherine's daughter Margaret and the Protestant King Henry of Navarre. The massacre took place a few days after the wedding so it was a sort of a "The Red Wedding".

Herodotus 94 Mary queen of Scots didn’t have what it took to be queen. She would have likely been over thrown like she was in Scotland and then what would have happened? Queen Elizabeth may not have had royal blood from both parents but she was King Henry VIII daughter. If your argument is that she was the daughter of a commoner and the marriage was not legal, then her brother Edward VI should have never been king either. But since the king decreed it, it doesn’t really matter. That’s how come Elizabeth was the rightful queen and Mary should have stayed in her own country and ruled it. But that’s just my opinion 😉

Theres been recent uncovered evidence that wu zetian wasnt such an "ineffective" ruler as once thought. They found evidence to indicate that women had more freedom during her rule like being able to ride a horse etc, the common folk were pretty happy with her, and theres evidence that they were a very prosperous and pretty peaceful population under her rule. A priceless almost legendary headpiece was found on a distant relative of hers which supports the fact she had a very prosperous reign. Alot of the "bad" stories about her rule were written after she died, some by decades after, by people who thought they should be in power/ any woman was incompetent to rule. As it is the case with many rulers, the history is written by the victors. these discoveries were found since this video was made so, still well done video.

Mary Tudor does NOT deserve her bad reputation. She was such a kind and great girl and deserved the best childhood, but got the worst one and it ruined her. Poor girl. I blame Henry for all of it. He broke her! pushed and abused her until she couldn't take it anymore, and broke. And he kept her from her most wonderful mother since she was 15. I love Mary. I hope Henry is burning in hell for what he did to Catherine and Mary.

Yeah ,about Olga . In Ukraine student in schools usually would get a summer list of literature. When I was in school I used to have Slovo o polku Igoreve (it's historical poem about Igor ,his life, his death and about Olga and her revenge) for 5 years in this list . So actually if you happen in Ukraine, you can ask any ukranian and they would tell you this poem from their memory 🥸

Isabella of Castile is one of the greatest leaders in history. And you forgot to mention that she had Columbus EXECUTED for his atrocities against the Indigenous People in the New World. Queen Isabella's dying wish was for the Indigenous People to be unharmed. But obviously, her wish wasn't granted. Castile and Leon was Queen Isabella's realm and she was a staunch Catholic, she required her subjects to follow suit. When you're in territory that doesn't belong to you, you do as you're told or get the hell out of Dodge. Go over to someone's house and do as you please then see what happens. It won't be pretty. Queen Isabella of Castile has never received the credit she deserves for being one of the greatest leaders in history.

What's more, she wasn't of Russian heritage. Also, I (as many linguists and Grammarly) recommend spelling Kiev as Kyiv (as it's transliterated from Ukrainian).

Ваши придирки не очень уместны. Во-первых, название 'Киевская Русь' знают только люди СНГ и профессиональные историки зарубежья, специализирующиеся на истории Древней Руси. Обывателю-иностранцу будет непонятно, что за такая Киевская Русь, а если скажут Россия, то уже понятнее, где находится. Во-вторых, в видео ни слово сказано не было про ее родословную, так что выпад насчет 'она вообще-то не русская' вообще не понятен. Хотя, по летописи, родилась она в Пскове. Ну и про написание Киева на английском, такой вариант имеет место быть, именно такой международный стандарт.

I don’t agree that Elizabeth I should be in here. She was actually one of the most benevolent monarchs of that time and she was far from the catholic hater that Mary was of Protestants. In fact, Elizabeth is credited with calming much of the discord between the 2 faiths. She hated that there was so much bloodshed over religion. She was also very witty, very supportive of the arts, very intelligent, and when she had to put people to death like her cousin Mary Queen if Scots she would lose sleep and take dats to sign the warrant. However, she was very vain about her appearance and would forbid her ladies in waiting to marry unless she picked out the groom. She also had a hot temper and was known to throw shoes. But many British still consider her the best monarch England ever have, even hundreds of years after her death.

Mary killed Protestants for the sake of a type of ethnic cleansing. She was also not on the throne nearly as long as Elizabeth. Elizabeth killed those who were treasonous regardless of religion. In our day and age she’d be barbaric but in those days she was a very benevolent ruler. She was also sympathetic to children and the elderly, sparing their lives if she could help it. She hated signing death warrants and would lose sleep over it.

So make sure to double-check the information before questioning someone's POV. And she was the Queen so if securing the throne means to clear the path from wild rats so then be it...

Got Elizabeth 1 a bit wrong.

All in all the Catholic Church caused their own persecution in a lot of ways. Still not one of the finer points of her rule though.

For further info try google as it’s well known facts. Pope Pius V "Regnans in Excelsis" ("Reigning on High") excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I of England, “the pretended Queen of England and the servant of crime", declared her a heretic, released her subjects from allegiance to her and excommunicated any who obeyed her orders: "We charge and command all and singular the nobles, subjects, peoples and others afore said that they do not dare obey her orders, mandates and laws.
