Margaret Tudor Queen Of Scotland: Controversial Consort!

Margaret Tudor Queen Of Scotland was a controversial consort. She was briefly the Queen of Scotland, yet she was a constant thorn in her brothers side the King of England, Henry VIII. Her father was Henry VII, the first Tudor King. Margaret Tudor's marriages would ultimately prove divisive, as the countries of England and Scotland were forever at each other's throats. Even as Queen, Margaret Tudor's life was hectic, often at a level that was difficult to understand. She had no education, next to no religion and she was guided by her own instincts, which in most cases fell far below what was expected of a woman of her standing.
She was betrothed at just six years old to a man in his twenties, obviously, this was not done for love but for power and the treaty of perpetual peace. Margaret's role as regent was a tough learning curve, she had some minor political gains, in helping to bring peace to the 3 fighting nations, yet on a personal level, her marriages all ended badly. Margaret Tudor's indulgence and selfish passions left more questions than answers.

At least Margaret had the last word. Her descendant is sitting on the throne of England. Well done Margaret. 👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@wiscochic861plutochic5]

I am also a descendant and I sit on no throne lol. Margaret and James iv were my 15th great grandparents. I am in the United States no throne lol. The royals sitting on the throne are not the only descendants my anscestors are also the woodvilles and king Edward iv and Elizabeth of York. As the families of Tudors and Yorks and Stewart’s were very large their are many of us probably more than anyone will ever know if we also include children of mistresses etc. the last names may have slowly disappeared but the blood has not and is still very much here.

[@SALeppard]

Margaret Tudors descendants sit on the Throne if Great Britain. Your grasp of historical facts and knowledge of history is very clearly lacking.

I've always loved the Tudor women, they stand out. The events of Margaret's life are echoed by her granddaughter Mary, Queen of Scots. Passionate, beautiful, lived by her heart over her head, and lost her power because of it. The apple didn't fall too far from the tree in so many ways!

[@HistoryRoadshow]

The women of those times all seemed to be treated poorly, yet one or two literally took the bull between it's horns. Thanks for watching 😊

Margaret was very unlucky in marriage. At least she was luckier than her brother when it comes down to her descendents... I mean, it is her blood line that holds the crown until today, after all! 😬

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Yes Margaret's line was left out of the Succession by Henry and his son Edward. But Margaret got the last laugh when her great grandson became James 1st of England and founded the house of Stuart

[@ladyagnes9430]

Yup, the English line goes through her and still does

[@di3486]

Marrying for love is a gamble

[@leanie9660]

I had never heard that Margaret had never received a proper education.....quite the opposite in fact. She was indulged by her welk-educated mother, who tutored her daughters and little Henry herself.

[@pk6810]

I read Margaret wasn't scholarly not uneducated, she received the same as her other siblings education wise but didn't show an aptitude for it. I believe she was more artsy like music etc.

[@jandrews6254]

Interesting how Margaret is said to have let emotions rule her when she remarried, but her brother seems to have been granted loftier reasons for his various pursuits

[@michelethomas9595]

Thank you for doing a video on my 15th great grandmother Margaret Tudor. So little information out there on her. Wonderful video

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Glad you enjoyed it Michele, have a great weekend 😊

No way?!

[@elizabethalbon-ov7il]

There is always people who comment on these history/royalty programs that have to claim the person as an ancestor!

Ive seen 3 different comments saying "15th great grandmother" too lol, time for a family reunion or something 😂 ​@elizabethalbon-ov7il

It's great to hear about Henry's sisters. I sometimes think Henry V111's siblings get overlooked.🌹

Thanks Elizabeth, have a great weekend 😊

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Yes Margaret and Mary definitely get overlooked in favour of Henry and his wives

[@reythejediladyviajakku6078]

Apart from genuine concerns for her Son’s throne, Henry wasn’t the best uncle. I think Margaret knew that

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Finally got around to finishing this video on Margaret Queen of Scots. After your video on Mary Rose Tudor, I knew a video on Margaret would crop up eventually. Like her sister Mary, Margaret often gets overshadowed by Henry VIII and his wives. In history, Margaret usually was written about in negative terms and unfairly gets a bad rep. She wasn't perfect but wasn't a villain either. Her story is so interesting and tumultuous and deserves more spotlight and analysis. Watching this video only made me feel sorry for her as it reminded me of what a sad life she had, many low points but she kept going nonetheless. When you hold or come from power, it's so hard to know who your true friends are. Henry certainly wasn't much of a supportive sibling. Margaret did succeed however in her descendents and the family line she created, the House of Stuart who succeeded the Tudors and became the first Scottish rulers in England. Henry VIII didn't want this to happen, ignoring Margaret's line in the act of Succession but Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scots got the last laugh indeed. 🌹👍🙏

[@HistoryRoadshow]

That's a very good representation of the story Shane! Thanks for watching

[@clairelambert1018]

I loved this video, so many people blog about the Tudors and Stewart's. Getting so many of facts wrong, I know it's difficult to get documentation for the facts, but it's when there is hard facts with documentation that annoys me. Very very well done

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Thank you Claire, I try my best to convey the true story without a need for sensationalism. Have a great week 😊

[@princessoffire1107]

In all honesty, Margaret is more intriguing than most of her sister in laws and Mary Queen of Scots. Married young, infidelity, deaths, marriages to conniving throne grabbing men, held the throne for son, exiled, coup d'etat to get regency back, fired cannons at husband, fought with brother literally and figuratively in wars, children stolen then she changed allegiance and stole them back, .,... That's just the highlights 😂

[@wilfordfraser6347]

She is my favorite Tudor. She sounds as if she were just like her brother.

[@susprime7018]

Adding insult to injury, paid his tart with her money.

[@monicacall7532]

Margaret R, Marie de Guise, Mary, Queen of Scots and Margaret Douglas seemed to feel too much and not think enough. They were romantics ruling (or trying to rule) a people who often needed pragmatic leaders. It would be interesting to imagine the history of Scotland if these women as been more hardheaded.

So she named her daughter after her. No wonder. I wish they didnt do that. I get frustrated when i try to learn about royal families.

Well she had enough time to educate herself in politics and motherhood like the rest of the women.

Queen Beyoncé would've told Queen Margaret in which direction to place the box with ALL of Angus' belongings. "To the left, to the left.." That dusty dude was trifling.

[@annagoldberg6257]

It is only natural that James the Fourth would honor the Auld Alliance. France was Scotland's saviour. France succoured Scots kings. As they did with Mary, Queen of Scots, with King David the Second of Scots. James the Fifth spent a year in France and wedded two French ladies. Princess Madeline of France and Marie di Guise.

Henry opposed to divorce!! I laugh at that!!😂 he wasnt so opposed when it came to himself😮 he was a piece of work!😢😮

I've read King James IV had a lover Margaret Drummond with whom he had a daughter named Margaret Stewart. Tragically Margaret died. Some say Drummond was poisoned so James would marry for Margaret political alliance. James claimed Margaret and took care of her needs. A good man. Disclaimer: I descend from the love child Margaret Stewart lol

[@vseddonvs]

So who was Mary Queen of Scots Mother?

[@HistoryRoadshow]

Mary of Guise, thanks for watching Veronica 😊

[@reythejediladyviajakku6078]

Was her disagreement with Henry what effected her son’s relationship with their uncle?

[@jenmb2679]

I dont understand why she was so hated and disrespected by her family. There were other members who married for love but Henry accepted their marriages. Catherine couldve helped her. Meanwhile Wolsey was getting rich off the French and Henry was always pn his side and generous to him. Catherine was much better at politics and she couldve ran that house by herself better. Henry didnt make any good matches for marriage.
