The Calorno palace near Parma is now a cooking academy - the city and region of Parma is famous for its food which includes the very famous Parmesan cheese and dishes that use it like Chicken and Veal parmigiana. The English diarist Samuel Pepys who acquired a wheel of Parmesan cheese doing an Italian trip considered this asset as one of the things most worthy of being salvaged during the Great Fire of London in 1666 -so valuable was this type of cheese!

That should be "Colorno" and not "Calorno" -my mistake!

Pepys buried it in his backyard when the fire really got going. That's how it was saved.

I have been listening to you for a few years now and you absolutely do a wonderful job

Being a mother myself, I couldn't imagine being pregnant and losing so many times. Unfortunately ,especially during that time period it was still placed on the mother for pregnancy loss or being barren. The man being at fault was impossible, matter how absurd it may seem to us now. However people today still have that mindset.

Can you make a video about the Bulgarian Tsar Boris III. No one ever talks about Bulgarian royalty, we had a royal family too. He led a very interesting life and his death is still a mystery to this day.

In general, at least in America, we don't really talk about eastern European history at all. Most Americans couldn't probably tell you half the countries in eastern Europe

My cousin wants to tell you we found Desiree she was the fiancee of Napoleon before Josephine, she wound up the queen of Sweden yes that was her . We were watching a show about jewelry 😍🤩🥰🤤😋🤯 and it mentioned a beautiful set of rubies and diamond jewelry as a gift from him given to her, that is a part of the Swedish crown jewels. You're channel is awesome just like Mortis media and the others in your talented family.

Congratulations on the 300K 🎉🎉🎉

You took a complicated life/time period into a valuable production, thank you!

Wow, so many gorgeous portrait pictures! They make the person look alive. Do you know who painted some of these portraits? Thanks for having these!

@bobrzycapolaYes, Infanta Elena de Borbón, the older sister of the actual king.

Nice video! About to fall asleep, but i will listen to you first. Thank you FLives for the wonderful upload. Congratulations on your Sponsor

Very good. Thank you and congratulations on 300K subs!

it's crazy how she just simultaneously very fertile getting pregnant so often (and so long!) but also kept having babies who died

Probably a combination of being related to her husband, multiple pregnancies taking it out of your body, the poor woman probably had very brittle bones later in life. It's one of those reasons that they don't recommend getting pregnant so soon after a pregnancy unless your taking supplements, and even then they prefer you taking supplements as your diet might not cover everything. But we also have a way great variety and easier access to nutritional food than our ancestors did.

Infant and childhood deaths were very common before our days. No vaccines, no medications, poor knowledge of how the human body works…. Mothers often died during childbirth as well. This is addressed in the video @ 5:45.

Very interesting A big part of history I didn’t know . Thank you sir

Another great video🥰🥰thanks 🥰🥰

Good Day, I am not certain this subject would be in your genre or of interest to you or your viewers…but wanted to ask if you would ever consider doing a video on The Great Corsair, Jean Lafitte. From Bordeaux but settled in TheBayouNew Orleans with his brother Pierre, he was more than just a pirate. He dressed well; spoke several languages, could read & write when most could not; well-mannered and led a very interesting life. He is my Great (multiple greats) Grandfather on my Mother’s side. He is in the history books. -ANN from Chicago

Love watching your show grow! ❤

I’m half Spanish. When in Spain, my family and friends still, after all these centuries, still call her “Maria Luisa la Pxta”😂

Very interesting history lesson you really do an excellent job of keeping my interest. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Forgotten Lives, it so lovely to have your video to enjoy as I recover from a cold. But a buggerish cough that likes to continue on is annoying. 😑 Thank you for having this video for me to watch today. 😊

What a wonderful channel. New subscriber. You are a delightful narrator 💪

Fun fact in this time the Royal Familia living usually in Royal Palace of Madrid the largest Royal Palace of Europe missing in video.

Thank you

Excellent

Shook over seeing a narrator when i only ever hear his voice omg

It is incredibly hard to not believe María Luisa and Godoy were lovers. He acquired incredible power and wealth under her protection and she named him as main beneficiary in her will… And yes, as a Spaniard I also heard the story of her confessor saying that, in her deathbed she confessed her children were not fathered by the king. Something very similar happened with another Spanish queen, Isabel II, daughter of Fernando VII, son of María Luisa. She was married to her first cousin Francisco de Asís (a notoriously gay man) and had 12 children by many lovers, none by her husband.

Nothing more ridiculous than monarchies

Queen Anne of Great Britain was famous for being pregnant 17 times most of which ended in miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death and one child who died shortly after his 11th birthday.

Sorry your voice dust isn’t right. Your program is very good.

Interesting.

Very shocking!

❤❤❤

You forgot to mention the doctor's dirty hands during childbirth.

Sounds like she got a bit of a bad deal. So many did, back then and even now. No one really knows another person do they? 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Too bad they didn’t know about blood types; these couples who lost ALL their children were very likely incompatible blood types.

Brilliant, erudite and most of all frequently funny in a straight-faced way. It’s not easy to maintain composure whilst describing a witch queen…

How decrebid on St V day apropos

1:56 So… the mother felt pregnant but the baby was born 11 months later? How so? Human pregnancies are 9 months give or take, never 11 months!

24!?!? That's absolutely disgusting!!!!!

Chances are, the reason that a lot of her children didn’t survive to adulthood and died young is because of inbreeding. It’s extremely tragic when you think about it

@@ForgottenLives Oh hey there Forgotten lives. Love your content!

1:42 and 1:56 are supposed to be the same woman? 🤣

OMG! Those lips!!

In those days Just as today Life was not always black & white sometimes the lines blur and in order to protect themselves and those they love people would do unpleasant things. I have myself. including one of the things mentioned in the thumbnail title. I wont tell you which but I believe I am by no means a one off. What they say and claim to believe is right, very quickly, disresolves when they are threatened. Myself included, this narrator included, you included .

many of her kids did not look like her husband.😏😏😏

Imagine being pregnant for 18 months with a 1 month gap. No thanks!

Not a very good looking family.

I can't with his voice. The cadence is terrible.

Try very hard not to sound like a valley girl if you want to be taken seriously.
