Hey Matt great video. I would love to see you do one on the Déby family who have ruled Chad’s political and military for over 40 years. The family has had infighting and the current president Mahamat Déby son of the previous president Idriss Déby had his cousin Yaya Dillo Djérou who was head of the opposition assassinated recently . But I think it would be interesting to see the family and how they’re involved in Chad’s political and military life

And contrary to Monty Python, everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition because they publicly announced their presence. They informed church congregations, they posted public notice, they had speakers in town squares. It was a sinister organization that turned neighbour against neighbour, but it wasn't unexpected.

Great video! Part of the reason Franco nominated Juan Carlos as his heir is not just due to pressure because he raised him in a sense, educated him and thought this would make him share franco's political views, it was not until after franco's death that it was made clear that he was not a fascist, and he helped created the spanish democracy. Also Isabella II's son Alfonso XII is not a male line descendent of the bourbons, as isabella cheated on her husband almost certainly! So in a technical sense the spanish monarchy are not bourbons

[@sapiensursus3034]

Well… but Franco was a fascist. He was a brutal dictator who declared himself sent by god and caused immense suffering. If we take palingenetic ultranationalism as fascism, that fits Franco very cleanly. He was just flexible and intelligent about economic growth.

@10:21 Correct me if I am wrong, but I seee the Crown of Castille and Kingdom of Aragon but wasn't the Kingdom of Aragon actually called the Crown of Aragon because of the holdings of Valencia and Barcelona?

[@delarkaBCN]

aragó was more like a crown than the heavily centralized castille, in fact.

[@delarkaBCN]

crown of aragó = catalan principate + kingdom of arago + kingdom of valencia + kingdom of mallorca etc

[@umbertalonsorovira9260]

True. Aragon was a kingdom which, at the same time, was part of the Crown of Aragon, a sort of confederation of the different holdings that the monarchs of the House of Barcelona and later the House of Trastamara inherited. Those states included, at various points in history, the Kingdom of Aragon, the County of Barcelona, the Kingdom of Valencia, the Kingdom of Mallorca, the Kingdom of Sicily, the Kingdom of Naples, the Duchies of Athens and Neopatras, and other holdings in southern France and in Murcia.

[@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis]

@@delarkaBCN Well, Castile didn't become super centralized until well into the 17th, but that is true, it's always been quite centralized as far as feudal realms go. after further research, I found that the Crown of Castile existed as an entity, too namely because of its possession of the crown of Navarre and the union between Leon and Castile. I hadn't known that it was also named the Crown of Castile, because I always was familiar with the Crown of Aragon but not of Castile.

[@pedrofr1434]

​@@The_InfantMalePollockFrancis they were crowns because they were a union of different kingdoms, in Aragon the kingdoms were very powerful, meanwhile in Castille they were just nominal and had no power

[@JenniferinIllinois]

[@GXSergio]

2:40 "Some sort of succession struggle" Well, actually one of the contenders for the crown welcomed and contracted those "maghrebi" for his cause, but he found out when those mercenaries stabbed him in the back. You know, a minor detail. 6:30 Map is wrong. Catalonia didn't exist as today is, it actually was a mix of territories vassals of the franks, that buffer pack was officially called Hispanic March. The general name of catalans, is known as a deformation of the french chatelâin, castillian, or guardian of the castle. 12:20 "Are known as the Catholic Monarchs" well, that title only can be granted by the Pope, and it is kinda a special title, wasn't precisely the nickname... By the way, the emirate of granada was for a long time a vassal state of Castile, that's the only reason they lasted for so long, another minor detail you missed... 12:57 Context needed. 13:18 Fake news, inquisition was originally created at france. 14:42 Ottomans were soundly defeated by Spain led alliance at Lepanto. Even portugal defeated the ottomans at the other side, the indian ocean, several times. 21:00 Not true, once the prince of asturias is officially declared, it becomes legally the actual heir to the throne, even if new son appears later.

[@franbalcal]

I dont remember in the French or English or Scottish or or Portuguese or Italian or German kingdoms vidoes of their family trees any mention of when they signed the laws to expel the jews from their kingdoms? or in the portugal and papal videos when they created their Inquisitions? its mentions like these which fuels the crazies in Spain who love to talk about the "black legend", about all the protestant propaganda to be Spain look bad.

[@UsefulCharts]

It's because the expulsion of Jews from Spain was the largest of all such expulsions and it had a greater impact on history. It basically resulted in an entire branch of the Jewish people (the Sephardim) being moved back to the Middle East.

I love your videos, but some inaccuracies appeared: i) you did not include the mother of Alfonso I of Portugal (because she was the "owner" of the County of Portugal, as a Leonese princess); ii) you showed Murcia as a part of the Kingdom of Aragon (first, Murcia belonged to the Crown of Castille, and you should have named it Crown of Aragon since it contains four different territories: Aragon, Catalonia/Barcelona, Valencia, and Mallorca); iii) the exile of Sephardic Jews is understood, at the legal level, as the cessation of the residence permit of those unbaptized inhabitants (Muslims were partially covered by the peace treaty with the last Moorish King). Finally, just a comment: the Navarrese line was completely forgotten, although it has a great history behind it, as descendants of El Cid, have been ruled by many female monarchs, and have been carved up by Spain and France.

[@anthonyn.7379]

I do have some questions about the layout of the chart. First, why doesn't Urraca have a crown in her box if she was referred to in the video as "Empress Urraca"? Second, why does Francisco Franco have his own colored box if he wasn't royalty? Sure, he was the undisputed leader of a Republican Spain in between periods of monarchy, but then why doesn't Oliver Cromwell have his own box in the English/British monarchy line? (It just says "Commonwealth of England (no monarch)".) Personally, I feel that Cromwell was more of a de facto monarch than Franco was, but that isn't to say that I believe Cromwell should have a colored box either.

Also the frontier of Aragon with Castilla is hilariously bad, insanely moved to the west. It should be HALF of that . Heck, Aragon never had a frontier with Granada!!

[@SubMonty]

It is quite usual to see when historian outside of Navarre write about the conquest to see it explained as an annexation, it was not. Castille and Aragon laid siege to Pamplona and forced the queen Catherine of Foix and the king consort John of Albret to flee to the other side of the Pyrenees. The war lasted from 1512 to 1521 and it ended with Castille and Aragon conquering the southern part of Navarre, the part now in Spain leaving only as the kingdom of Navarre the Lower Navarre, today in France.

[@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt]

There were two different wars, that of 1512 and that of 1521. Nine years is quite a long time, and in 1521 there was a new generation: in 1512 the king of the Spanish Crown was Ferdinand of Aragon and the King of France was Luis XII; in 1521 the Spanish Monarch was Charles I and the French king was Francis I. Another interesting bit: from the point of view of the contemporaries those conflicts were the part of the Italian Wars between France and Spain. The War of the League of Cambrai (1509-1016) and the Fifth Italian War (1521-1526). Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince" (written in 1513) said that "Ferdinand of Aragon attacked France" in 1512.

Interesting how these Arab conquistadors conquered Spain the same way in the future Spanish conquistadors would conquer the Americas … namely taking advantage of internal upheaval amongst Visigoths and Aztec/Inca.

[@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt]

But there is a little big difference: the Arab conquistadors became an independent country just 45 years after the invasion. In 756 the Muslim Spain was an independent country: the Emirate of Cordoba.

[@Trancymind]

Another difference is that the Arab conquerors knew about it while spanish did not. The aztecs were not in a civil war when the spaniards arrived in the aztec empire.

[@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt]

There was not a war between 711 and 1492. And those who made the Reconquista were not the people conquered by the Muslims, but foreigners. If the Muslims were like the Spanish Conquistadors, then "Mexico" was conquered by Apaches and Sioux from the North (people who were not conquered by the Muslims).

[@Trancymind]

@@DiotimaMantinea-qm5ytThe aztecs was a combination of 3 tribes but we still don't know why and how it happened. Climate change is a possibility just like how the Mayas fell into a decline plus the aztecs rivalry enemy as the upcoming empire. 711-1492 there were A LOT of battles fought there including foreigners mercenaries getting involved there. The first crusader wars happened in the iberian peninsula.

[@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt]

@@Trancymind Anyway, it was the Kingdom of Castile and Leon (and Aragon and Portugal too) the one(s) which completed the Reconquista. It was not a popular revolution against the Muslim lords: that never happened. The Muslim Spain was conquered by Christian Kingdoms from outside the Muslim Spain. And remember that the Muslim Spain was fully independent since 756 (45 years after the conquest in 711). The analogy Moors-Spanish Conquistadors doesn't make any sense.

Great vid (as usual!) from you, but the denomination of the Prince of Asturia is misinformation: Everyone in motorsports knows that Fernando Alonso is the only legit Prince of Asturia! 😉

We all know why you clicked.

As what house you belong to is determined by the father what would happen if Leonor marries a commoner? Would their children belong to a new house or would they be of Bourbon-Anjou due to the father not having one? We know it's no problem for Spanish royalty to marry a commoner as the current queen of Spain is one.

Nowadays the surname can be inherited from the mother.

[@PokerAttack21]

@@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt But house isn't only surname for royalty? Historically at least in Europe nobility were always considered part of their fathers house and a nobel house died out when there were no more male heirs to become house head. Historically when a woman inherited the rule they always married nobility and their kids became part of the king consorts house, not the queens. Idk if all of this is just tradition or if it's in some obscure nobility law that is basically the same across Europe.

[@lightyagami3492]

​@@PokerAttack21It's just a tradition that goes back to ancient times. There is technically no reason why the house name couldn't go through the mother. The reason why the house name is inherited by the father despite the mother's maternal line being 100% known is just due to sexism of the time.

[@DiotimaMantinea-qm5yt]

@@PokerAttack21 Yes, that WAS so. But the law changed in Spain both for commoners and Royalty. Because of Feminism, your know.

@@PokerAttack21​​⁠There was one notable exception with Maria Theresa von Habsburg, whose children became Habsburg-Lorraines instead of just Lorraines (because the Habsburg dynasty was vastly more important). But either way, rules of royalty don’t really matter at all anymore, it’s just window-dressing for a powerless cultural institution.

My head is reeling. How did they ever keep themselves straight.

[@mathieuleader8601]

I remember at the time of the Scottish referendum if Scotland became its own country people talked about having Maria Fitzjames Stuart the Duchess of Alba a Spanish noblewoman being the crowned the new queen of Scotland.

[@libiusperseus]

Really ? I remember some people wanted Franz Von Bayern to become king of Scotland but I never heard about this duchess. 🤔

[@KartovOndulevitch]

Starting the kings of Spain in year 910 is so cringy. Ever heard about Pelayo and Wisighoths ? (not mentioning the legendary kings noticed by every middle age historians...)

[@pedrofr1434]

Alfonso VII proclaimed himself as "Imperator Totius Hispaniae" wich means Emperor of all Hispania/Spain

I’m Spaniard and approve this message.

Hate to burst Louis Alfonse's bubble but one of the conditions Phillip had to agree to after the War of Spanish Succession was to renounce his claim to the French throne of he and his descendants forever.
