[@leemarshall348]

Irene as “the one who got away” is hilarious😭😭

[@areiaaphrodite]

Not Linsey putting a pic of Anne of Cleves next to Charlemagne's 2nd wife, saying "Same!" 😂😂😂 The petty lol

[@brookedonaldson1354]

😂😂😂

[@Laramaria2]

Anne of Cleves making a cameo was genius 😂

[@Elizabeth-tq7qw]

The Anne of Cleves cameo is *chef’s kiss* especially since there was a king-pope feud over ending a marriage

[@Abdullaha1880-pk8]

who else like Lindsay

[@DarthDread-oh2ne]

I like history calling and Lindsey Holliday.

[@susanlove9303]

Love her❤❤❤

[@heatherpedersen6627]

I agree. I love both. ​@@DarthDread-oh2ne

[@dalehoward3704]

I love her narrations --great voice and storyteller.

[@teddy9770]

The one time he quarreled with his mother WASN'T when he stole her grand-son's throne and had him, his brother and their mom disappear?!?

[@katherinebarlow6446]

I hope you eventually do a video on his daughters. There are a lot of interesting research articles about the kind of power they wielded, to the point that their brother had them shut away.

[@heatherpedersen6627]

Oh that would be interesting

[@BirteBohling]

Greetings from Lower Saxony, where this Frankish king is referred to as "der Sachsenschlächter" (the slaughterer of Saxons). His Saxon oponent Widukind would make an excellent topic for a future video.

[@taimasplash]

thank you! I watch these during my breakfast and this came exactly when I finished frying my eggs lol. charlemagne has been such an interesting figure for me despite not knowing much about him. wonderfully done as always, Lindsay! :)

[@DragonHeir92]

Lindsay, you just explained the word "Byzantine" better than ANY of my history professors.

[@payrysdoscs4903]

Lmfao

[@br00kynn.babyyy]

I’m always so excited on a Tuesday because I know that Lindsay will post a new video 🤍🤍

[@carlylewis7088]

Really interesting video. More on these old kingdoms please 🙏🏻

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Congrats Lindsay! You're so close to 1 MILLION! An amazing millestone and you deserve all of them!

[@sirwelch9991]

I knew Hildegard of the Vinzgau was the most special one because of her impact. Anyway good video!

[@ShannonStevens-gl7le]

My teen and I are excited to watch this! We (like most watching) descend from this great man! And my DNA shows us as German\ french, but we can't find any family that lived in either country. In old family records before we were described as "german" we were identified as franks, or frankish. Now our family group is specifically called "german speaking russians". Just an interesting aside from the autism rabbit hole....💖🇨🇦

[@alexysadams5302]

Love this channel! Can’t wait to see more European queen consorts and other European dynasties in the future! Congrats Lindsay on almost 1 million! Huge fan since 2020!

[@llouie4999]

Great video! I learned about Charlemagne in middle school World History but don't remember all that much anymore. Very much enjoyed getting a zippy tour through his wives, concubines, and other women of his life

[@TEDrew]

Happy Tuesday You know what that Means? Another Amazing Lindsay Holiday Video! I will always love listening to your beautiful voice and knowing more about the history of each famous Monarchs and US Presidents

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Just is time as always Lindsay! You always make My tuesdays better! Love from Colombia ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇴🇨🇴

[@markwithlove]

i just finished rewatching the holy roman emperors series for the third time 😂

[@llshadygal6451]

I would love a series going over the French monarchy from the start with Charlemagne ❤❤❤

[@Laramaria2]

It would be nice

[@summeroflove394]

I've been requesting this for years now

[@Levacque]

This is so weird, just this morning I spent about 15 minutes trying to wrap my head around Pepin, his sons, and the mayoral offices they occupied.

[@AC-th4ci]

When Lindsay said all modern people of European descent are related to Charlemagne, my knee-jerk reaction was like "Wow, that's crazy, I wish I was related to Charlemagne." Took me a second to realize that being a white American (with German great-grandparents) DOES count as European descent 😂 I don't really get to personally relate to a lot of these European history videos, so that's pretty cool.

[@scottyb8392]

Oh man. I can't stop the Pippin soundtrack playing in my head...

[@vanessatottimeh9131]

Charlemange is the father of European; they say that because most Europeans dynasties can trace their lineages back to him, someone correct me if I'm wrong 🤔

[@sirwelch9991]

He was called such because of his eponymous Renaissance and his patronage of culture. But him being the ancestor of numerous dynasties is another fact albeit not the reason why that was attributed to him.

[@theresalaux5655]

Wow that ole Charlemane was a stud ball! Lol 😆 learn something new every day!❤

[@LusiaEyre]

He bred like a rabbit, and now everyone can trace their descent back to him if they go far enough 😂 that's like the least interesting royal connection one can get from genealogy search :P

[@dani96539]

yoooo new history tea time just dropped 🔥🔥🔥

[@HeatherMarieGibbs]

Thank you Lindsey

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Love history and this is my favorite channel for it! You never dissapoint! You're the Queen of Narration! Charles the Great is such an amazing figure! thanks for this!

[@Whyisitsohardtofindagoodhandle]

This is literally perfect timing, I’m currently learning about Charlemagne in class rn

[@aliceingoryland]

"the handsome Charlemagne" He looks like he's wearing an old fashioned swimsuit

[@lfgifu296]

Ayyy I love me some earlier Medieval History🙏🙏 And Charlemagne certainly got up to it to give us something to talk about💀

[@HeatherMarieGibbs]

RIP all who died from complications and natural causes

[@SallyTheWolf]

it would be interesting if you made a video about how all the European monarchies to day can trace their line to charlemagne today.

[@carinafourie9119]

There is an account called Useful Charts that does exactly that.

[@SallyTheWolf]

@@carinafourie9119 Of course i have seen his videos. It would also be fun to have more detailed video on that. He dosnt go into as detail as linsey is what im saying while he has the whole chart in front of us.

[@saucieq]

It's pretty interesting just how much was based on hair!

[@stephaniex90]

ROYAL TEA TUESDAY

[@Nicholas-mi2vt]

Blaming your wife on your child disability is insane

[@cindchan]

I'm descended from Charlemagne? Whoa.... 🤯

[@nuotatorre8741]

8:58 Fun Fact in Italian Desiderata literally means "To have been desired". Soemthing poor Desiderata seem to have been not

[@tobechukwuarafiena9117]

Love love this. Something refreshingly not about Britain

[@tartnouveau3652]

Poor Pippin though

[@sackettfamily4685]

My husband claims to be related to Charlemagne. And his grandparents came from Germany, likely around the general time of wwII. Making me wonder which side they were on?

[@funghi2606]

Desiderata mean desire in Italian, the irony

[@tobechukwuarafiena9117]

What about a series on holy Roman empresses

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks Lindsay 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@irawilliams343]

Like all men of his time, he is unapologetic in his appetite.

[@csand4620]

Would love to see more on the origins of the French royals.

[@heatherpedersen6627]

I really enjoyed topic. I learned a lot.

[@lyndanickerson1373]

Thank you

[@ilsed6733]

great video, thank you!

[@donnaleeflournoy-mancuso5675]

Charlie had it all.. We are all descendant of his, lol.. My ancestors are direct line to the European Royal line.. My eldest son called himself "Charlemagne" lol...😉❤️🐻☘️🇺🇲🎶

[@payrysdoscs4903]

When you're the emperor, you can have any woman you want (at least back then)

[@lunaris7342]

Ah yeah Charlemagne the Father of Europe

[@aliasjon8320]

George RR Martin definitely based Aegon IV "the unworthy" on this guy

[@jacquesgotbacque]

Loving the new music 💪🎶

[@bethanymargason8383]

Hi! I was just wondering if you could make a few videos of the wives and servant girls of infamous dictators? I wanted to know more about them.

[@karmagirl314]

I wonder if Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones is based on Charlemagne's oldest son?

[@marthahornbostel1679]

[@angeleyes2161]

What is painted behind that first painting of Charlemagne and Himiltrude? It looks like something pretty schmexy! Lol.

[@tgh1466]

I love this channel and I know you can’t do this for free, but can you avoid working with vendors/companies that use AI for not great purposes, such as those with photo and art generators? This is a historical channel and I really don’t want to doubt the veracity of the images you use.

[@zsuzsannarednik1098]

A concubine is different from a mistress in the fact that children by a concubine qualify as legitimate children; sons stand to inherit.

[@Jess-391]

Not in Europe
