Yes! She sounds like such a character- I love the idea of this little old lady being sassy to the king! :D From what I've learned about the English court tho, jesters like Magdalena- sort of stand-up comedians- & other skilled entertainers, were more common than those with physical or mental disabilities, or mental illnesses (it's good to distinguish between the last 2, btw.) I'm not sure, but I sort of got the impression from this vid that it was the opposite in Spain?

Great work!

I am a giant history 'nerd,' I took all AP history classes in HS, would always choose history electives in college when I went for my teaching degree, and am getting ready to go back to school in the Spring to get a Bachelor's Degree in History, and hopefully go all the way through to get my PHD. In the meantime, while i'm not in school or working, I watch a LOT of history documentaries and short videos, but over the past year or so i've found it increasingly difficult to find any such videos on historical topics that I don't already know about in at least a vague, basic manner. So thank you for this video because it definitely ticked all my boxes...1. historically accurate information 2. info on a person & life that I didn't know anything about and 3. actually interesting and presented well (as I can often find videos on specific historical battles or similar subjects that idk, but they tend to be extremely boring). I hope that your channel grows swiftly and you continue to make a1 quality videos :)

I had heard of her but couldn't think from where until I saw the portrait. Just the sort of content I enjoy.

Another great video. Very happy you got rid of the punctual tocs and dings to present items and facts. It now rolls seamlessly in a more cohesive edit. Hope your channel grows.

I love the video it’s rich in history. I’m a history buff and love reading on the kings and queens of Britain and the hapsburgs. I’ve always found it fascinating.

Great video. I enjoyed every minute of it !

I found this documentary very interesting, revealing lots of details of the life of kings and their corta and family.

Extremely interesting video. Thank you for the work!

All Philip had to do was wait 4 or 5 more years until the armada was completely restored and for the french religious war to end and he could’ve easily took England. This is why patience is the most important key for the power.

At first I was like, "oh! What kind of Spanish accent is that?"... After a few minutes, I'm pretty sure he's not Spanish... Maybe Portuguese or Brazilian? (I'm used to Mexican Spanish, so even proper Castilian sounds odd to me.) "Magdalena Ruíz" is not a strange name, but it sounds exotic and foreign when he says it; "Maghthalene Rruízh"... Not that he's pronouncing it incorrectly; I'm just thinking in the wrong language/dialect... Great video! Looking forward to checking out the channel 👍

Thank you. This was very informative. Where can I find out more information about the buffoon of the young Phillip II. I believe his last name was De la Cruz and who was the artist that painted his portrait and where can it be found?

I’ve always been curious . I know the hapsburg jaw was a deformity. I’m well acquainted with whose who in the hapsburg royalty. I know Philip and juanna children were born with the hapsburg jaw but I have a question. Were Philip and juanna related? It was their son Charles v and his siblings had the deformity But I’d like to know with who it began.?

@@Pam1_2 They were related, but not directly, it was a very distant connection. Joanna descended from the house of Trastamara, the house of Aragon and the house of Aviz. As far as i am aware it was Philip the handsome who introduced the Habsburg jaw in Ibéria. But although all is children had it, some manifested it more than others. Charles v had a very proeminent jaw but its sister Catherine didnt. What all the Habsburgs did, was use this facial feature as a symbol of dynastic identity.

@@IntoThePast thanks that’s very interesting. I thought maybe it had come from philips side. Cause I know Isabella and Ferdinand of spain didn’t have it ( juannas parents) I love all this history I’m 54 now but I’ve been fascinated reading about kings and queens since I was 12. I know all the british ones and the hapsburgs. I know the hapsburgs did a lot of intermarriage in the family. Well I’m enjoying all your videos. I’m going to watch your new one you posted today. The sleeping with the enemy one.

I think she knew. He proposed to her sister, Elizabeth, after her death, but he didn't love her either. He just wanted to hold on to England.

I suppose what you judge is the meaning of refinement. I think he was a much darker personality with rather cruel obsessions of piety and over inflated sense of self. He was limited in kindness and self truth. I pity the women forced it marry men they had nothing in comman . Yes, the throne is a lonely place, but cruelty, betrayal of others and trusting no one is a lesson he learned well from his father, who believed these were traits that a king must have and himself ruled by.

My language skills are not ...me not have good words

Yeah so cool content bruh ....but in medieval times they kept weirdos as like pets in courts it was actually considered a kindness. They didn't have like hospitals or schools or places for the odd ones. They were seen as a burden cause its another mouth to feed that can't contribute to the family. And it was usually one of their subjects or serfs or whatever by word of mouth and took them in. I mean these oddballs would need clothing in weird sizes and attention It was their good deed and the oddballs would have been getting stated at or made targets.

People can try to paint a big smiley on Phillip II but in N-Europe he's always going to be seen as a monster in the light of what the did to the Netherlands.

If the man was such a saint, a latter day St. Francis of Assisi, and what he did in the Netherlands was such an exemplary display of human kindness you'd expect the Netherlands to still be a Spanish possession and the Dutch to revere Phillip II a saint (hint: they don't). Phillip was a pretty typical religiously fanatical Catholic reactionary who thought that any problem could be solved with bestial brutality. He was wrong about that. I've seen a whole bunch of reactions of rulers to rebellions during the period and they pale by comparison to the Spanish reaction in the Netherlands. Normally ringleaders would be hung and privileges taken away. What the Duke of Alva and his maniac son did, with Phillip's approval, in the Netherlands as standard practice, slaughtering the inhabitants of entire towns for the crime of not being Catholic was not the norm. There is a special place in hell for Phillip II, Alva and his sadistic son Fadrique.

@@fedevida1951 The atrocious activities of the Duke of Alba - the emissary of King Philip II- do not need "Protestant propaganda " to be true. They are facts, noted in the annals of history and very well known and found shocking in traditionally very Catholic Belgium, aka the Spanish Netherlands. And your example of Catholics not being allowed public worship or public office in the United Provinces (the Netherlands) is supposed to....prove what exactly...? After the the dirty and cruel war fought by the Catholic Habsburg government on the Protestants, using every possible means, a government many times as powerful as the tiny recently liberated country,, are you seriously telling me you're surprised the United Provinces enacted laws to contain and control any possibility of a Catholic power-grab through proselytizing, infiltration of government offices and armed coups? If you find these policies - a measure of self-protection if there ever was one - inappropriate, then you must be very, very disingenuous and naive indeed. Sure - King Philip very possibly had very positive human characteristics and accomplishments. Nevertheless, the role he and his government played in the nirthern and southern Netherlands was one of repression, oppression and atrocity - the role of a tyrant. That's his story.
