The story is a little more complicated than the video tells-you see, it’s not that King Ferdinand just saw her unconcious and was like “y’know what? Open her up”. The thing is, when Ferdinand came back from exile in France, there were a lot of Spanish noblemen and people who had been loyal to the French Dynasty (King Joseph). A lot of these were liberals, so when Ferdinand came back to the throne they were persecuted. Everyone who was thought of being liberal was either killed (including War heroes like Mariana Pineda) or had to flee. This included a lot of good doctors, and only a couple not-very-good ones were left. When María Isabel started giving birth, she fainted. The doctors and the king mistakenly (yes, they were THAT dumb) thought she had died, so in an effort to save the plausible heir, the Caesarea was performed. One of the most gruesome details is that some speculate she didn’t just cry out in pain then fainted, but rather she screamed “¡Qué estoy viva! ¡Qué estoy viva!” Which means “I’m alive, I’m alive” then fainted again. The French ambassador says that afterthis the doctors, “tried to salvage the Queen” and that soon enough “it became a carnage”

However, when she died under mysterious circumstances (scientists in the 90’s examined her remains and found higher than normal levels of mercury), Ivan’s long-seated paranoia and mistrust didn’t have a tempering influence to counteract it.

Plenty of people are only seen as valuable via accomplishments. In those days, regardless of position in society, having children was essential for a woman. They were basically her social security in old age. And for a noble woman, being the mother to the heir of a kingdom or other realm put her in an immensely influential position, as several queen mothers across history demonstrated. So this wasn't nessecarily something that was forced on them, but rather the only logical path they had as far as circumstances were concerned. And many of them, as incomprehensable as that might appear to us, were probably on board with this system, in which having children was your first step to political influence and power for a woman.

Mary I of England had uterine cancer which can mimic pregnancy. I really wish historians and others would stop making her sound like a crazy person. Even today before a uterine cancer diagnosis, depending on her age, a woman might think she was pregnant.

Most of these kings had severe syphilis (Henry VII particulary). Most pregnancies where the mother is infected with it end in either miscarriage, stillborn babies or babies with severe congenital defects that make them die not long after the delivery. It's also been proven that it reduces the number of sperm that carry a Y chromosome because the genetic material is less dense that in the X chromosome. So yep, being a cheat is one of the reasons why Herny's wives suffered so much in pregnancy

Again, I strongly suggest Queen Desideria of Sweeden, or Desiree Clarey as she was born. Former fiance of Napoleon, her sister Julie married Napoleon's brother Joseph, and she married John Baptiste Bernadotte who became King of Sweden. Her life was very interesting.

Nothing suggests that Sophia was mentally deranged. Also, evidence suggests that Jadwiga always had poor health, so her illness and death weren't that surprising. While Jadwiga had hereditary claim to Poland, her mother's poor reputation and betrothal to Frederick of Brandenburg made her a less desirable choice (Jadwiga of Anjou's sister Maria was prevented from becoming the king of Poland in her sister's place, in a large part because of her marriage to Sigismund of Luxembourg, the future emperor, nobility disliked him because he was German and a severe ruler). Sophia was also a young woman ,sorrounded by hostile and foreign court, who didn't learn Polish (she only spoke Ruthenian to the end of her life) and after Władysław's death she was prevented from becoming a regent, so it's questionable if she would be able to poison her step-daughter.

Yet, people argue whether Jane was Queen at all, given that she was on the throne for little over a week. 🤔However, given she was crowned I agree with you, and say she was Queen.😌

@@ChibiProwl Yes,Lady Jane Grey Was QUEEN Of England,Albeit For A Very Short Time!!!

Imagine your family being angry with you that walled you up. Damn.

Could you do a video about Monarchs of Europe or just England who were loyal to their wives?

Would you consider doing a video on Ines de Castro? I find the story so fascinating

Ooops, thought this meant most as in "very" not most as in "number". As soon as the animation started multiplying the women I was like "Wa.. wait... oh"

Great history video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon have a great day 😀

The queen on whom the c section was performed is horrifying.

8:52 Imagine your husband cares more about a child and decides to force the doctor to cut you open without any pain killers

Omg Lindsay here's a topic suggestion for ya, can we get a video on polyandry in TIbet? Not enough out there about WOMEN with multiple spouses!

Annulled on the grounds of incest? How many of these people are related to begin with anyway?!?

I'm pretty sure the drawing of the Queen @20:18 is that of Anne of Bohemia, wife of Richard II of England...However, You would know more than I on this subject but it looks very familiar to the drawing if Anne of Bohemia from your English Queen Consorts series of videos 🤔

Thank you!

This was interesting!

I saw the title of this video and thought this might be a short one

Could you cover the empires of Egyptian and also Chinese next please I would love that and also could you cover the empires of the Indian monarchy and also Japan to I know it’s a lot but I enjoy your videos so much Ms holiday

Maria Isabel's story sounds very similar to Amma arryn in house of the dragon must have been the inspiration for the story

Can you do all of the monarchs of France and their consorts in a series?

You really should get an award for pronouncing all those names, you do it so well.

Oh this is interesting!

Would you be willing to do some content on Mary queen of scots and her husbands and info on her? Love your content

Would like to hear about Charles IV Holy Roman Emperor. He had 4 wives too.

There is also Leo VI the Wise (866-912) a Byzantine Emperor he married 4 times although according to the orthodox religion it was illegal to mary more than twice. wikipedia : Leo VI caused a major scandal with his numerous marriages which failed to produce a legitimate heir to the throne.[33] His first wife Theophano, whom Basil had forced him to marry on account of her family connections to the Martinakioi, and whom Leo hated,[34] died in 897, and Leo married Zoe Zaoutzaina, the daughter of his adviser Stylianos Zaoutzes, though she died as well in 899.[35] Upon this marriage Leo created the title of basileopatōr ("father of the emperor") for his father-in-law.[36] After Zoe's death a third marriage was technically illegal,[37] but he married again, only to have his third wife Eudokia Baïana die in 901.[29] Instead of marrying a fourth time, which would have been an even greater sin than a third marriage (according to the Patriarch Nicholas Mystikos)[38] Leo took as mistress Zoe Karbonopsina.[39] He married her only after she had given birth to a son in 905,[37] but incurred the opposition of the patriarch. Replacing Nicholas Mystikos with Euthymios,[17] Leo got his marriage recognized by the church (albeit with a long penance attached, and with an assurance that Leo would outlaw all future fourth marriages)
