Inside The Royal Burial Vaults Of The Forgotten Kings and Queens Of Britain

[@jimm6810]

Fontevrault, in France was the burial place of the Plantagenet dynasty who ruled In England and large parts of France from 1154 to 1485. At one time there were fifteen Plantagenet tombs- only four remain.

I know Richard & Henry his father are in the Abbey,but what happened to the others&are Eleanor &Berengaria there?

[@Sisterfifi]

@@SusanLickley Eleanor is definitely there I think maybe Berengaria too

[@SusanLickley]

@@Sisterfifi Poor Berengaria,she had such a sad life.I wonder how old she was when she passed.

Very enjoyable .❤

[@staffiemama]

Great video 😊

[@giannidcenzo]

Great episode

[@williamdeypres1122]

I read that King Stephen's bones were recoverd from the creek and interred in the Parish Church for which there is a plaque.

[@OffWithOurHead]

Will look into this!

[@anthonymaddox6515]

Interesting but incomplete. You did not talk about Henry II and Richard I both being buried at Fontrevraud Abbey in France along with Henry's amazing wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

[@davidc5191]

Yes I saw all three tombs there some time ago; I also thought I saw John's tomb there also, but video says otherwise.

[@mcarp555]

@@davidc5191 Yes, John is definitely at Worchester.

[@amyc913]

It’s not queen “regent” but queen “regnant.”

[@bpier]

King Cnut is pronounced 'ca-noot'

[@lolapayneinthebun8106]

I enjoyed the video, but I'm just going to point out that Jane, the Nine Days Queen, was a queen regnant, not a queen regent.

[@Skibbityboo0580]

I have always wondered why they were buried in lead coffins.

[@maverickhistorian6488]

Is it me, or does King Stephen look cross-eyed?

[@anitameza3960]

He does .

[@Jed-y1c]

Absolutely

[@JayArgonauts]

It’s not a contemporary portrait

[@angelabretton4693]

Haaaaha 😂😂😂

[@orlandoreguro6190]

Those painters back then they were all fuck up and high as fuck 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂painters has the same problem on theirs eyes 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mcarp555]

The video says Victoria was the last royal buried outside of the two main sites, then briefly mentions Edward VIII as if he was not just as "royal" as anyone else listed in the video.

[@David-lb4te]

8:29 what is controversial about RIII burial in Leicester Cathedral?

[@mftepera]

There was disagreement about where he should be reburied. Some thought he should be buried in a Catholic church. Others in York Minster. Ultimately he was buried in the nearest Christian church to his original grave.

[@rivenoak]

@@mftepera York Minster was his personal wish in 1485, but as it was not catholic anymore upon reburial it was off the table. the situation was a bit weird because all the rites enacted by the Archbishop of Canterbury were ofc null and void so they let the catholic Archbishop of Westminster attend

[@JayArgonauts]

It’s pronounced BARK-ley Castle NOT BURK-ley Castle which is the American pronunciation.

[@darrindlc9513]

It interesting that there is one person who not a member of the Royal family who is buried at Frogmore . The Queens Friend The 7th Baron Plunket

[@johngamba4823]

Someone has confused England and Britain again. Poor show

[@lespaddick6248]

To the English England and Britain are interchangeable

[@rl3799]

where's Burkshire?

[@peppertrout]

00:52 Doesn’t look at all like QE2. Hasn’t aged well.

[@LeahCary78]

❤❤

[@StormchaserJockMcGinty]

A few too many basic errors here, for instance John’s grave was not moved, the building was enlarged meaning his position within it changed. Several others and looseness of terms such as William I being ‘repatriated’ to ‘France’’ and subjective opinions on how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ particular monarchs were. A shame as it had some potential.

[@charlieb2903]

It is "inside" not "inside of".

[@Sisterfifi]

No royals interred at St Paul’s?

[@mcarp555]

Nope. The old St. Paul's (before the great fire in 1666) had some Angelo-Saxon royal tombs, but they were all destroyed in the fire.

[@kerraptregolls4929]

Queen Regnant, surely!

[@dizwell]

Ke-nutt?! Really, if you can't pronouce "ke-noot", you shouldn't really be narrating history videos. There's a phonetic rendering of his name on Wikipedia you could have consulted for heaven's sake!
