Finally a video that is not about the same old Tudor historical figures

Happy you liked it.

Frustrating when that's all that pops up in your feed. Why with all their beheadings would anyone want to watch it over and over? Seems like it was the only way they could solve an issue: Beheadings or burnings? I am not sure in this day and age humanity is any better?

I agree

It is wonderful to hear the correct pronounciation of the Portuguese names of places and the names of royalty.

[@Bluemoonofky]

Catherine of Braganza is one of my favorite Queens!! She was sweet, introverted, and loyal. Whats not to love about that? She had a great impact on the Country and she is who introduced the English to tea! Such an English tradition, started by a foreign Queen consort. I love her!

European history is truly fascinating and rich and Portuguese history is one of it’s jewels… to think such a small nation had so much relevance and influence in the world.

[@cinnamonstar808]

all I want to know is who are these white people? EUROPE IS A BLACK CONTINENT with Black Royals. Portugals had black queens the same why Wales did , the same way China did = 🐲all mothers of dragons are black women. Its part of the pre- Yoruba culture ... ✭ ✮ ✯ ✰ ★ stars and lions , rhino(unicorn) are coming out of the ancient Egypt ........... those crowns went into Europe THE MOORS RULE PORTUGAL FOR 800 YEARS. and everybody is white royal..

[@thenablade858]

@@cinnamonstar808 The ‘Moors’ (which is a European word and isn’t exactly accurate) were primarily Arabic and Berber, although there were many black Moors as well. Portugal and Spain were never fully conquered by the Islamic invasion, hence the seven-hundred year long Reconquista. Catherine was primarily of European heritage, although many Portuguese and Spanish are of North African or even Hebrew heritage.

[@cinnamonstar808]

@@thenablade858OK we are going to go over this for the 5 billion time. JUST BECAUSE YOU SEE non-black people on the land NOW = does not mean they are the original people. BERBERS are BLACK white Berbers are white Ukrainian female slaves that came over with the invasion of North Africa. 2024: Black Berbers know all of their culture. white Berbers do not know Berber writing because they adopted the culture and the language . *** the reason for the slit due to religion in Spain or Iberia is because (again) lack of cultural history. CHRISTIANS | MUSLIMS | HEBREWS } are cut out of a prior pack that left the nile valley. The black ones are aware of this due to passed down culture. New whites are not aware of this. because they are not ancient Egyptian and have no clue how toxic the politics was in those ancient times. CULTURE is shared experience; and the history of it being passed down into the generation. it determines who we act or Id ** white people are never ever called natives in EUROPE. why the assumption? please do not assumed that. Europe was once the "north Africa"

​​@@cinnamonstar808moors and yoruba are completly different, and did you know that in Brazil thanks for the portuguese bringing many africans to Brazil theres a "religion" based on sincretismo between Christianity and Yoruba and its called Umbanda, its the most beautiful thing. In the future this is what can save us from being all converted to muslims

[@JelleSophie]

I adore her ever since I saw her being portrayed in Charles II. Seeing her portrait in Lisbon did something to me.

[@beth7935]

Amazing! That was so interesting! I knew very little about Catherine, & nothing about Portugese history. It's interesting that both her father & Charles had reclaimed their family's thrones, when their lives & backgrounds were so vastly different in every other way- I can't imagine her culture shock on arriving in England!

[@margot6840]

Her portuguese background was so different from the english court, i feel sorry for her

[@IntoThePast]

I am glad you liked the video! Her background was a word away from the english court. This doesn't mean that she was a simple minded person. On the contrary, she probably was a bit more refined than the english court ladies (when she arrived in England she asked for tee and they offered her wine) and she had a good education. But by no means she was prepared to live in a place where men (shock!) and women mingled and flirted. She was very naive and innocent.

Yes, her life in England was not easy, but she was respected throughout Europe.

Absolutely loved the video! i know almost nothing about Catherine´s life before she became queen of England. Her mother Luiza completely stood out for me. I wish you would made a video about her, also about her brothers.

Thank you so much for teaching about the culture of the royal Portuguese court, its similarities with the Spanish court and its differences with the English and French courts. Could you please make videos about the cultures of the royal courts of Europe?

Great vídeo about Catherine of Braganza's life before her marriage Pareceu-me que o historiador que faz este vídeo é português.Confesso que fiquei contente por um historiador português fazer justiça a Catarina.Infelizmente sempre foi muito mal tratada pela a arrogância dos historiadores ingleses.

[@IntoThePast]

Muito obrigado! É verdade, Catarina de Bragança foi durante muito tempo ignorada ou vista como uma estrangeira que nunca se adaptou à vida em Inglaterra, além disso era católica e não conseguiu produzir herdeiros. No entanto, mais recentemente, tem vindo a ser alvo de vários estudos tanto em Portugal como fora, que a estão a revelar com uma nova luz.

[@Belinda8881]

@@IntoThePast Uma personagem histórica que sempre despertou o meu interesse e curiosidade. Ainda bem que que há novos estudos sobre Catarina de Bragança.

[@zitarodrigues5766]

A mais rica princesa que entrou na Inglaterra. Foi ela que tornou este país um império! Claro que ficou muito mal levar alterações ao quotidiano de uma corte altamente conservadora nas aparências. Foi corajosa e firme perante tantos e conseguiu impor algumas mudanças. Os analistas medíocres é que lhe encontram imperfeições de maior e inventaram algumas calúnias. 🍀🌼🌿🌻PS: seremos sempre orgulhosos da sua postura.

I learnt so much about court customs of the period. Seems like a very bleak life for a royal widow in Iberia. I hope some discreet debauchery happened behind closed doors

[@IntoThePast]

In some cases it probably did! but in the case of Luiza i pretty much doubt it...

A countryside “village” of 800,000 people? How can it be a village? Even these days, it would be considered a good sized city. In those days, it would have been considered a huge metropolis.

For Luiza, her husband and her sound like their blood was incompatible. One was rh+ and one rh-; resulting in several miscarriages and infant deaths.

[@IntoThePast]

They were blood related to. The mother of João, Ana de Velasco y Girón was the daughter of the duke of Osuna and is first wife, Leonor Ana of Gusman, a member of the Medida Sidónia House, the family of Luiza. If we go back in their genealogy we find even more cases like this.

oh,,,, caralho.... great video, muito obrigado... charles II was first king of scotland*, the stuarts where as old as the braganzas, also the stuart dynasty originated in scotland..., centuries previously as royal stewards to the bruce dynasty... a unusual marriage, being that scotland had alliance with france, and england with portugal, no one much liked the power of castille or aragon,espana* in either scotland, portugal,england, wales or ireland... let alone the dynastic habsburg ties to holy roman empire, spain and austria.., also against the borbon dynasty in france... earlier rei felipe II habsburg was king of spain and portugal, and the spanish armada, earlier King of england too... El escorial is pretty dull and boring, in comparision to royal palaces in lisboa, simmilar contrast to edinburgh castle v tower of london.... yes the catlalan rebellion, is exactly in the same period as the restoration of portugal under braganzas..... espanha nearly fell and the iberian union was over... the dynastic union or * sharing of thrones* or titles,. a *union of thrones or two crowns* like scotland & england, until 1701... portugal & spain until 1640....
