There seems to be a pattern with English kings. They don't always love their wives, but they love their mommies.

[@PaulaSB12]

Marriage was a matter of political affairs not love. It was two families joining and in both male and female neither party had any choice. Also remember all that she did for him starting as a girl bring a widowed mother when she was 13

[@amyrat151]

@@PaulaSB12 If you look at English history, there's a few kings who had contentious relationships with their wives. Henry II had his wife imprisoned for 16 years. It was a shock to the country that Eleanor of Aquitaine picked her sons over her husband when they rebelled against him. Then when Henry died, one of the first things the new king did was get Eleanor out of her cell, because Richard I loved his mom. Henry VII was lucky in that he loved both his mom and his wife. So much so that the death of Elizabeth of York messed him up quite a bit.

It should also be noted that Margaret was traumatized by being “wifed” so young. She had her baby at 13 years old! Because of this she fought tooth and nail to make sure the young girls in her family did not suffer the same fate.

And a manipulative narcissist

[@LifeInPink999]

@@DL-od4su Manipulative sure, there must have been either a lot of promises or a lot of manipulation (maybe both) with her last husband, who while was the one to make the decisive move in the battle in Henry’s the VII favor, she was the ”brains” behind it. She kept committing treason after treason knowing well the repercussions and escaped by sheer luck the execution by Richard the III (well luck or his dumb confidence that her husband will stay on his side). But one thing is being something and wanting something and another against all odds achieving this something which is the throne of England for her son. I don't necessary like her but I do respect her ability for not only self-preservation since the moment she gave birth at 13 but already actively planning her moves to keep her son safe sending him away first with his uncle, then to exile, finding a husband who gave her access to the court first with the desire to have her (well her first husband) lands back for her son while still maintaining her son, losing that husband and finding another closer to the new king. At some point looking at the throne and thinking ”why not?” and deciding that the throne sounds better than lands that the Yorks failed to give her back. Now her being a woman in that time makes it even more remarkable. To be fair she would have made better job ruling England than her son definitely much better work than her grandson. I like to think that Elisibath the I of England got her smarts and intelligence from the females of her family like her grand grand mother and mother. She certainly didn't got her brain form her father, her temper indeed is his.

[@Grannievore]

Detailed except for the part about her being twelve when her husband decided it was time to consummate their marriage, leaving her mutilated when she gave birth at thirteen. Cold marriage was common then, but it was also common for the marriage to NOT be consummated until the girl grew into a healthy teenager, at the least.

That was a very wonderful documentary on Margaret Beaufort. Thank You for making this kind of historical information available to us all! ❤😊 👏

[@BriLamberson]

No doubt she would be ruler of the nation herself if she were living today. What an amazing woman. She’s usually depicted as conniving and bitter. But this gives a much clearer picture of who she really was. It’s so fascinating to me that she was known for her love of literature and was also a real estate tycoon. Bookish yet outgoing. A deeply devoted mother, yet fiercely independent. Deeply religious and also a shrewd politician. She should be a well known role model for all women today.

[@DL-od4su]

Do you know WHY she was bitter? I will repaste the story. FACT: THE TUDORS DYNASTY WAS FOUNDED ON ADULTERY AND ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN. Everyone seems to forget that the Tudor line started with an affair between Owen Tudor (son of a Welsh Rebel) and Queen Catherine Valois who was married to Henry V until his death of illness on the battlefield. One of Owen's sons, Edmund, married Margaret Beaufort. She was descended from one of the illegitimate children of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster (a son of Edward III), and his mistress Katherine Swynford. They were given the name Beaufort after Gaunt's castle in the Champagne region of France. So, all the Tudors are trash...right up until the present day.

Along with William Marshall, she is someone who lived through five English kings in their lifetime.

Incredible documentary. Great to see all the different pictures & painting rather than the presenters face. It's great to watch a documentary that's about the documentary rather than the constant presence of the presenter as most documentaries are today. Thank you so much, I throughly enjoyed this documentary, I wasn't fully aware of Margaret's life and how she had lived it. She really was a remarkable woman. To survive the way she did especially in a world that was extremely dominated by men where women had little or no rights without a man by their side. After watching this, it looks like Elizabeth I was very similar to her great grandmother Margret Beaufort.

These videos are truly delightful. So well presented and detailed, and I always learn from them. As for Margaret Beaufort, it's clear that this is a lady who knew how to survive. To have done so in the perilous world of 15th-century politics is significant in itself. To have done so with Her wishes fulfilled is nothing short of miraculous. It takes steel in the spine to face down Her opposition one after the other. She styled herself as Her Majesty The King's Mother, Margaret Regina and it's a pretty long title and one I don't believe has been used since. Like Her title, She was unique. We can all learn from Her determination, love and sacrifice in protecting Her son and making sure the mark of Her existence was indelible is self-evident. I sometimes wonder, though, having watched "The White Queen" and "The White Princess", it's a bit of a tough call to say that She was the scheming and malicious individual portrayed in those series. I'm halfway between in awe of and suspicious of Her.

No, she didn't. Katherine Swynford and Catherine of Valois founded the Tudor dynasty through adultery. Katherine Swynford established the Beaufort line through her relationship with the Duke John of Gaunt. She eventually married him and legitimized the line. Also, Queen Catherine of Valois (Henry V's wife) and Owen Tudor (a commoner) turned Tudor blood into royalty. Without this background, Margaret Beaufort wouldn't have been able to manipulate her son to the throne.

She was one of the women who I always admired. A woman of courage and pious faith in keeping her son alive through the ages. She never thoughted of her destiny or so the legend says that god had shown her a vision that God proclaimed that her son, Henry Tudor will be King of all England. A religious woman had no doubt that it is God's will, but one thing was for sure she was a mother on a mission to keep her son Henry alive. She had three marriages to keep her title and wealth from any fortune hunter. But also, three powerful men who can protect her son Henry Tudor the last Lancasterian heir to the throne despite his illegitimate ancestry sides such as the Gaunt and Tudors. When there were rumors of Richard III who supposedly killed his nephews and stole their crowns. She realized that she had to take the biggest gamble of her life. Fight in a war against the Yorkist king with her son, Henry who won the crown. And she was so pleased and impressed by her wit, courage and courtly games, She was given the title, The King's Mother and almost held many court meetings and duties to her son.

Man, this whole "of course he usurped the throne" and the idea that it was either Margaret or Richard who murdered the princes is relatively recent but everytime I hear someone talk about it, it's become even more firmly fixed, and told as "more than likely"

[@AdamantErinyes]

Margaret was barely 14 when she gave birth, and was also noted to be quite small as she wasnt fully grown. Everyone expected that Edmund would wait to consummate the marriage because she was too young, but his main priority was securing her wealth for his family, which meant having an heir as soon as possible. Giving birth almost killed her because she was physically too small, and it's likely that the physical trauma is the reason she never had another child. The whole situation is a good example of how 14-year-olds getting married and having babies was NOT the norm, because it was specifically remarked on and was considered shocking to the English nobility.

Actually Margaret was 11 when she married. Her wedding dress had to be stuffed with padding because Margaret was not developed but still had a child's body.

How awful. No wonder she learned so much , at such a tender age.

Quite literally the perfect history lesson, my most succinct appreciation to those that formulated it's existence. Not just the real characters whose lives were revealed but to the manner of how it affected the future, it was beautifully/ perfectly/ accurately, delivered in its narration and musical arrangement,... a thorough perfect History lesson.,

[@DL-od4su]

Perfect history? No such thing. Because history is from the author's perspective and not based on the reality of the entire situation.

[@efeodugala3119]

"Do I think she was single handedly responsible for Henry's accession to the throne? ".. Yes!! I can almost bet on the fact that her husband's refusal to commit to Richard 3 at that battle was a direct result of her entreaties to him for support.

The White Princes/White Queen/Spanish Princess TV series were entertaining, but they go wayyy overboard in pinning literally every early Tudor conspiracy and controversy on Margaret Beaufort, turning her into a cartoon villain. Yes, she did a lot of behind the scenes mechanizations to ensure her son became King and remained King, but nearly everything they blame her for is outright fantasy.

[@colecolettecole]

and these are non fiction by the way

[@cherrytraveller5915]

You get the feeling that Philippa Gregory really hated Margaret. At no point in any of her poor excuses for books can she admit that precious Richard iii is guilty of anything. And then to claim her book is the true account of history is just annoying

[@wasntme777]

Tragic life. Becoming a mother age 12! Almost killed her, she could not have more children. Her son was all she had and in danger because of politics, so she had to separate. When he came back and became king the tragic did not end. First Arthur died, then Elizabeth of York the Queen, Then her son died : The Countess died in the Deanery of Westminster Abbey on 29 June 1509. This was the day after her grandson Henry VIII's 18th birthday, 5 days after his coronation and just over two months after the death of her son. That she outlived her son must have been hell for her. I wish that on no one.

[@Jenifer_G]

Thank alot for this history lesson which was helpful to me. I am looking into the background of Henry the 8th to see what was the root cause if his homicidal maniac killings of peoples. Well one can see it is deeply rooted in his background to rule and be on top. So this woman, Margaret had to fight for survival but it seems it became an obsession to have the family line succeed in the top monarcy status. Interesting vid.

[@janettedargy7941]

Imagine if Henry hadn't been up to the task? Margaret would not be so celebrated. Im glad he made it so we could all learn about his amazing mother

[@tessthomas8606]

So disturbing as she was only 13 when she married Edmund who was in his mid twenties and had given his oath not to consummate the marriage until she was much older. Apparently this was one of the conditions given for the union. Edmund Tudor mother was Catherine ….the widow of Henry V who had married Owen Tudor after his death and was also Henry VI mother. Henry VI grandfather Henry Bolingbroke was the son of John of Gaunt by his 2nd wife. Joan Beaufort who was a daughter of John of Gaunt through his relationship with Katherine Swynford had married a Beaufort who was a relative of Margaret Beaufort father.

[@chich824]

she probably wasn’t the completely ‘saintly’ figure that has come down in a lot of Tudor writing and the books of certain historians. She was fiercely intelligent-and appeared to be possibly quite devious with it. There were reports she kept Elizabeth of York under her thumb, and one Ambassador disliked her so much, he called her something like ‘a bitch.’ When she died her confessor, John Fisher (later executed by her lovely grandson) said that she had an cool demeanor in public but when in the confessional she would scream and cry hysterically. The fact he mentioned it makes it seem unlikely to have been considered normal behaviour. I believe she would have liked to be Queen herself so was always a constant black shadow behind her son’s throne. ‘My Lady the King’s Mother’ was what folk had to call her. One time she actually did sign her name Margaret R. This could be for ‘Richmond’ but it was a very unusual way of signing , and she was a smart woman who would have been well aware of the significance of what she’d written.

[@user-jf6ix8py7r]

Margret was 12 years old when her marriage was consummated, which was considered shocking, 14 was the normal age considered by the Catholic Church to be safe. No wonder having a child at 13 ruined her body and was unable to have more children.
