Queens of England who Died in Childbirth

Please consider supporting me at / lindsayholiday and help me make more fascinating videos!
In Europe in the middle ages about one in three women died in their child-bearing years. Here are the stories of 7 Queens and Princesses of England who died tragically as a result of childbirth:
Isabella of England (1214 - 1241)
Mary de Bohun (1370 - 1394)
Isabella of Valois (1389 - 1409)
Elizabeth of York (1466 - 1503)
Jane Seymour (1508 - 1537)
Catherine Parr (1512 - 1548)
Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales (1796 - 1817)
A note on imagery: The further back you go in history the fewer images there are depicting specific people and events. As this is a visual medium I have taken creative liberty and used similar images in some cases.

    Some believe Henry sought after the "ideal wife" like his father had with his mother. Henry wanted a loving relationship like his parents but was never satisfied with what he had. He was paranoid and thought everyone betrayed him.

    Elizabeth I probably got more mileage out of singlehood than she ever could have gotten by being married. By remaining single, she could hold forth the promise of marriage--and alignment with the increasingly powerful England--to the rulers of multiple fractious countries, keeping them as allies (and hostages to hope). I sincerely doubt that she feared childbirth.

    Giving birth to my youngest daughter almost made me bled to death. The midwives were frantically trying to stop the bleeding while the gynecologist was pumping me full of meds to keep me alive. I felt everything turning gray around me and I was very calm. My newborn daughter drinking from my breast as I tried to look at her face without blinking. If I was going to die I needed to see her one last time. The blood finally stopped and I'm fine now. My husband has forbidden us for having any more kids and that's probably the best.

    I had a ruptured splenic artery aneurysm when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I was able to get to the hospital where my son was in distress and so was I. They did a crash c-section to deliver him and I went into a full cardiac arrest and a code blue was called. As the doctors were calling my time of death a third year surgery resident came in and refused to not try to resuscitate me. He did a emergency thoracotomy, a zipper cut and found that the artery running to my spleen had destroyed my spleen so it was removed as well as part of my pancreas. I was given over 34 units of blood within the first day. I still wasn’t expected to live and if I did they were concerned about brain damage. I spent a long time in the hospital recovering but our son was able to be discharged after 2 weeks. We were the 14th known mother with her baby to have survived a ruptured SAA. It’s taken me many years to wrap my head around dying while giving birth.....essentially life. You’re not supposed to die when giving birth. There isn’t a day that I am not grateful for my angel surgeon and that my son and I survived.

    It's astounding that a surgery resident was able to save you. An attending surgeon must have come in during the operation. You are also very fortunate that other nearby arteries apparently weren't involved. Then again perhaps they were. Splenectomy is not difficult and the huge blood loss suggests other problems as well. Why the thoracotomy? Were you in a major hospital in a large city? I assume that you and your children have been evaluated for connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's.

    wholeNwon Splenic artery aneurysm’s are rare but the risk is increased during pregnancy due to increased blood flow. It was found in pathology that I had been born with a very tiny defect in my the artery leading into my spleen. That artery also ran through the tip of my pancreas. So when the artery ruptured it impacted the tip of my pancreas too. Yes, there was an attending but other than administering basic life saving procedures CPR and intubation he was at a loss of what to do (very incompetent). I needed a emergency thoracotomy because I was bleeding out and the angel resident did a thoracotomy in order to buy himself some time in finding out the cause of my code. It also kept blood flow to my brain. But keep in mind the OB resident and attending had not told him that I had arrived in distress and during the ER c-section they found a lot of blood and obtained consent from my husband to conduct exploratory surgery to discover where the blood was coming from. The worst part is they didn’t extend my surgical cut to find the source and determined the bleeding had stopped without finding the source. This happened at a huge Naval hospital and the resident that saved my life went on to save many lives as a trauma surgeon and is now head of cardio thoracic surgery at a large hospital. I owe him my life.

    @@Gamecockinnc1 That's really a great story. Obviously you were very lucky indeed. Now I understand the reason for the thoracotomy. It is hard to imagine that, as a third year, he successfully did all of this himself. Didn't he also call for an attending surgeon to come in? I don't know of a hospital where it wouldn't be required. Arterial wall defects usually prompt a search for evidence of connective tissue diseases such as Marfan's. It's important to make certain measurements in the females especially before pregnancy is contemplated. Very Happy Holidays to you and yours!

    Whoa, I gotta say, as a British History major, the account portrayed here of the basis of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York’s relationship being “kidnapping” is ABSURD. Their marriage was planned for months, if not years, very strategically, by their respective sides in order to unseat Richard III and end the “Cousins’ War” AKA “The Wars of the Roses”. Henry was crowned months before his marriage to Elizabeth, and they ended up having a very satisfactory, even loving, marriage. No “kidnap” was involved.

Kells is a protein in the reproductive cells that can be positive or negative. If a Negative man, most likely what Henry was tries to reproduce with a positive protein woman they will have a child but no more. Female babies survive more often then male children. Henry got a traumatic brain injury when a horse landed on Henry and knocked him out.

The nobility's adherence to "confinement"--sticking the pregnant woman in a dim, airless room for the final months of her pregnancy--was a recipe for disaster. The average village midwife would have been pretty pragmatic, while court physicians at the time subscribed to all sorts of inimical practices--bloodletting, among them. Royalty were stuck in urban settings, with all the attendant infectious diseases, while rural communities experienced a lot less of that problem. In short, if I were pregnant during the Middle Ages, I'd hope to be ANYTHING but an aristocrat.

    See the difference between Ireland and England in those days... In most of Europe, yes, life expectancy, especially for women, was pretty low. In Ireland, not so much. I can name several Iron age, Medieval, and Renaissance Irish folks who lived into their 70s or 80s, like Queen Medb of Connacht (who had 10 children total, 8 sons and 2 daughters) who lived into her 80s and only died because she was murdered by her nephew, St. Brigid of Kildare who vowed herself to chastity but lived into her 70s, and Gráinne Ní Mháille (Grace O'Malley) who had four children, including one who was born at sea... Then they were attacked so Gráinne got up an hour after giving birth and fought. She lived to be 73, passing away peacefully in her sleep after retiring from a long life of seafaring and rebelling. Ireland was also noted for being very clean, by several different groups over many centuries. They washed their faces every morning, cleaned their teeth, bathed their whole person and washed their hair every night, with soap mind you, and often wore perfumes. I believe it was the Romans who once commented on how lovely they smelt. Its also suggested that the Irish introduced soap to the mainland, but that's mostly speculation. So pretty much, if you were going to live in the middle ages, do so in Ireland cause, well, you'll actually live.

Grace herself once commented to Queen Elizabeth herself the differences between hygiene in Ireland and England... As it goes, during the famous meeting between Grace O'Malley and Queen Elizabeth, Grace sneezes. One of the ladies of the court hands Grace a fine handkerchief to blow her nose in. She did do then proceeded to throw it into the fire. The queen gave her a look and informed her that it was meant for Grace's pocket, and how rude it was of Grace to throw it away, that it came across that Grace didn't value the fine English cloth. So Grace, looking Elizabeth dead in the eyes, says 'well, in Ireland we value cleanliness over putting a soiled thing back into our pockets'. This actually made Elizabeth laugh. One can clearly see the differences between health and hygiene in the two lands, even as late as the Elizabethan period which we all know had horrible hygiene practices. In Ireland, it was still a sharp contrasting difference which is strongly highlighted here. We can see why Grace, and the other women and men of Ireland, lived so long!

In large English cities people used to use chamber pots in their bedrooms to go to the bathroom in at night. The contents would then often be thrown into the street along with kitchen garbage. Rats were everywhere and people wore platform shoes to walk through the garbage. The smell from all this isn't just a smell; it's bacteria floating in the air.

After she had me, she had the birth control surgery and that caused another complication and a huge tumour growing inside her womb. However, my selfish father wanted another child, a son. He tried to pursuade her to have the surgery undone so that she could conceive again, all that time the tumour was growing inside her womb. To this date, I never forgave my father for the risk and danger he was going to out her through after the two earlier pregnancies and labours going so badly. Seeing this youtube clip reminded me the pain and sorrow I felt for my mother. If there is to be a another life, I want her not to have me.

    Eclampsia is still a huge problem all over the world. I almost died from it less than 10 years ago. The symptoms are headaches, seeing spots, low urinary output, and liver pain. You will need to advocate for yourself if you have naturally low blood pressure. As you won't fit the prescribed numbers to qualify as easily. Be safe my queens and princesses!

    Makes you wonder about Henry VIII, if losing his mother, who he seems to have been close too and loved very much, (in fact, his whole family seemed to be), would be the reason he went through so many wives later in life, he was trying to find in a wife what he saw in his mother.

Proves that even in this day and age there is always a risk and it can happen to anyone, even QEII's daughter in law.

    Loved this video! It’s definitely very informative yet there are some issues in your research. As stated previously in the comments, Henry VII did not kidnap Elizabeth of York, rather it was an arranged marriage through Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth Woodville. I think it’s also important that you note that mothers usually weren’t usually allowed at baptisms as they happened very quickly because infant morality was so high. Again, I absolutely love your enthusiasm for history and your passion! I hope to see more from you!

    This still happens. It happened to me when I had my last baby in 1998. I bled out after the delivery when I was already back in my room. I had post partum hemmorage. I was down for 3.5 minutes when the nurse found me. I had 2 surgeries to fix the damage, 24 blood transfusions which left me in a coma on life support for 4 days. It affected my left side neurologically & erased my memory. After that, they say you only get back around 60% of what you had. I'm at about 70% because I really pushed with excersize,& reading . I always tell young people, don't have your babies at home, things can change in a very few minutes..had I been at home, I wouldn't be here today. This trauma left me with ptsd, I haven't slept in the dark since.

    Henry VII didn't kidnap Elizabeth. The marriage was mooted by their mothers, Margaret Beaufort and the Dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville. Elizabeth of York, being the daughter of the extremely popular Edward IV, legitimised Henry VII's very tenuous Royal claim as his right was through a junior line of the House of Lancaster. Also, he did want to remarry after Elizabeth died. He even offered for his daughter-in-law Catherine of Aragon's sister, Queen Juana of Castile.

    If I may add a minor correction to this otherwise informative video; for Katherine Parr, it was not a case of she wasn’t allowed to remarry, but a case of she was expected to observe a considerable period of mourning for Henry before considering herself available again. Her marriage to Thomas would probably have been more agreeable if she had waited. However, one can understand her position of finally being able to marry for love after 3 marriages that were either arranged or (in Henry’s case) difficult to refuse.

I lost 16lbs during my pregnancy but instead of worry my gyno said it was a good thing because I was 3olbs overweight when I became pregnant. I live in the south so you can imagine the kind of stupid I deal with. After my second, my husband got a vasectomy to protect me from further damage to my health. I still have pain and sensitivity due to the needle in my spine for anesthesia. I was always told I had O positive blood type, including from my last doctor. Turns out I'm O negative. And can never give plasma due to the state of my red blood cells from my pregnancies.

I know the number of women( who died from other classes) it's probably mind-blowing.
