King Henry III-English Monarchs-Edward I Longshanks-Eleanor of Provence-The House of Plantagenet

The real faces of King Henry III, the son of king John, who was King of England, Lord of Ireland, and Duke of Aquitaine from 1216 until his death in 1272. A king who despite his long reign, was in diplomatic and military affairs arrogant yet cowardly, ambitious yet impractical. We can also for the very first time, look at the face of his Queen Eleanor of Provence, a French woman renowned for her beauty and, complete devotion to her husband.
Also the re-worked model of his son Edward I, Longshanks a highly capable king who defeated Simon de Monfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and also known as the "Hammer of the Scots' because of his attacks against Scotland. Yet Edward was temperamental, and this, along with his height, made him a very intimidating man, who instilled fear in his contemporaries.

[@gothicwestern]

I never get tired of Panagiotis' work. Even though I think the English probably suffered a lot under the Plantagenets, their dynasty is so ultra fascinating it makes me glad to be English.

[@shane99ca]

I would say the English suffered more under the Anarchy, before the Plantagenets arrived and took over. And England generally fared better during the Middle Ages than the French, whose country was constantly torn by war thanks to its feudal society. The Hundred Years War alone cost France up to half its population. And then there was the Plague. The Jacquerie. Constant intrigues and betrayals among the ruling class and the warfare that went with it.

[@mamavswild]

Nah they ‘went native’ fairly quickly after William I; it wasn’t so bad.

[@Henrodful]

Magnificent! As always. However, you already did a very detailed video on Longshanks, but eh, I can watch these videos forever. 1066 mate, you got to do 1066. Godwinson, Hardrada, and The Bastard needs to come alive... You know you want to do them.

[@ChalcedonXXX]

Agreed! If only Harold had waited in London for the Fyrd and that storm that destroyed the Bastard's ships. History would be so different; as would be our language!

[@Henrodful]

@@ChalcedonXXX Ah! I am proud to say I am team Bastard the Conqueror in this fight. The Normans are way cooler than the Anglo-Saxons Imo and their (Romano-French inspired) culture, etiquette and institutions are superior Imo. Lastly, I think the continental (French/Latin) influence on the language should've been greater. Considering 1/3 of the Bastard's army (at Hastings) consisted of Bretons, his takeover of England was - as I see it - a process of undoing the Germanic culture that is the Anglo-Saxons from Britain and to bring it back along the lines the more traditional Romano-French (and to a small degree British/Briton) culture. The Normans were foreigners that greatly changed the land they conquered, but so were the Anglo-Saxons. Enough talk of 'how history would've been had Godwinson won'. No, I say history would've been more interesting if the Anglo-Saxons never conquered southern Britain and established England. Who knows, their could've emerged a united Celtic kingdom, and the language we speak today will be Celtc based, rather than Germanic.

[@ChalcedonXXX]

@@Henrodful But don't you like the 'what ifs?' and contemplate how history might have been changed? England and the UK would be very different if the shield wall had not broken on Senlac Hill.

[@Henrodful]

@@ChalcedonXXX Yes indeed. 'What ifs' can certainly be fun to contemplate; what if the Anglo-Saxons hadn't fallen - twice - for the 'feign retreat' of the Bretons on the Bastard's left wing, eh? Or what if Hardrada had won and killed Godwinson at Stamford, became king of England and had to deal with the Bastard?

Hmm, isn't this a little too biased towards modern styling/aesthetics? Like the shaped eyebrows on the woman, square jaws, clear skin, clean hair? Or is that the point to make them more relatable to the audience? Anyway, cool concept.

[@isabelled4871]

Women shaped their eyebrows, they even shaved their forehead (fashionable to have high foreheads) If you look at the original portrait of Eléonore of Provence you can see she has a square jaw (it's not really feasable to fake a square jaw for the sake of fashion!) Also people had baths in the middle ages, they washed! (Much more than say in the 17th century) We have so many clichés about the middle ages that are simply not true.

Edward 1st was one of the best Kings England's ever had, he brought in the county Sheriff's Office so that the king’s law would be administered the same in every part of the land, and he brought in the notion that no one is above the law not even the King, but unfortunately today he is known for that historically inaccurate English hating Mel Gibson Film Braveheart which portrays him as an evil tyrant when he wasn't, he was devoted to his wife and when she died he had a cross placed in every town her body rested on it's return to London to be buried, his son Edward 2nd though was by all contemporaries a gay wimp, who listened to his ill-informed and unwise male lovers over people who knew what they were talking about, this alienated him from his barons, and his French wife who along with her lover and the barons had Edward 2nd killed by shoving a red hot poker up his backside, (ouch), Edward 3rd was like his grandfather, Strong, powerful and a brilliant politician, who had his mothers lover killed and his mum imprisoned for their part in his father's death.

[@EmoBearRights]

I think like many people Edward was a mixture of good and bad - he was a strong leader and just but a conquerer and attempted conquerer (not a trait we celebrate today and quite rightly hence his depiction by Mel Gibson who as a twice over former colonialist of the British Empire descended from Irish people also suppressed by the Brits. It's not dated well with some justification but viewed in context becomes more ambivalent. Gibson has also proved himself to be a misogynist, anti-Semitic, ultra Catholic fundamentalist dickhead - Edward was also extremely anti Semitic and would expel all Jewish people from England and didn't care if some were killed by unscrupulous people while being exciled so yup Mel you've more in common with your bete noir than you ever knew, some actual bloody historical research would have shown you that and maybe made you think, it's also more understandable as Europe in the middle ages wasn't exactly known for its tolerance - who even before his fall from grace was also known for previous alcholicism and a temper that rivalled Longshanks himself. We thought Mel had got better we were wrong). He was a good husband who loved his wife but a bad father. He loved justice but had a vicious temper (a fault common to many Plantageanets and their descendants the Tudors even Good Queen Bess, it's probably one of the reasons why there's a myth that they were descended from a demon that mascaraded as a beautiful woman - it's the same one that Christabelle's poem is about in the novel Possession) once struck a court servant so badly he was deafened and executed some people for still unknown reasons.

[@johnmortimer1308]

Poker up the bum was a later rumour Probably suffocated and some say not killed at all . We will never know the truth .

[@chocho8036]

that poker story is a myth, and while i agree that Edward II made many wrong decisions ( he even admitted so at the end), do not agree that Edward I was the best, he left the country's treasury pretty empty with his constant wars, and his son actually inherited quite a few problems. Edward I was the military ideal and had a lot of close friends in the higher level lords as the leading men of the time were close in age to him, grew up with him and respected him. this helped a kind of unity, but that does not mean that they liked his policies especially taxation for war, all the time. And as for the Isabella and her lover, that is commonly claimed but not 100%, and she made that partnership only after through alienation from the king by his new companion Despenser, being deprived of all her lands and practical house arrest. She was not under house arrest by her son in later years, that happened under her husband and Despenser.

[@geoffreyrose5255]

@@chocho8036 Thanks. Edward III treated his mother well after he had her lover drawn and quartered.

[@chocho8036]

just executed, not quartered... I believe Roger Mortimer, her mother s partner got a bit too big for his britches and declared something like.l "Edward comes after me....". Roger started to see himself as the new King, and Edward was reaching the age of 17, adulthood, and he and his many young noble friends were not pleased . Roger Mortimer was a Marcher lord, one of the lords who governed Marcher lands, meaning those bordering Wales and all those lords were given freedom to rule their lands la lost as little kings, as long as they protected England from Welsh incursions He was a fascinating character and i have read biographies about both he and Isabella, Edward s mother, also a fascinating character...
