The Mistress Who Blackmailed a King: Lady Warwick's Scandalous Legacy

[@MythicMindScape21]

I hope everyone had a great holiday and you will enjoy the video. Please let me know your thoughts, remember your opinions and what you would like to see helps guide the channel. This really is our Channel, and i take a note of everyone you request. Sadly, to do such a deep dive takes a long time, if I were to do twenty minute videos i could do a lot more, but I think you enjoy these deep looks, so I continue with them, though I do apologize for being slow with them. Thanks for the comments, love and support.

[@pam112061]

I was absolutely glued to my tablet while I watched this video. What a life Daisy lived. Thank you so much. Happy holidays and happy (almost)new year!

[@yarazooom]

artistry takes time. never apologize for that. your commitment to the history of strong women is admirable. I have read & heard much about Daisy but this lengthy documentary helped me see her incredible influence and to fit her into this momentus time of victorian era characters. she never gave up on her own ideals. that is inspiring to this old lady.

[@twilightpurpleglow]

I hope you had a wonderful blessed Christmas. Wishing great success for the coming year 2025. May your channel grow and your life be healthy and happy. 🥂

[@tundrawomansays694]

Love your channel! As soon as I see another installment I’m on it. Your content is consistently well researched and well presented. Thank you so much.

[@kathleenadams3770]

Happy holidays to you and your family from me and my family

[@susiemason6864]

Daisy Warwick, very very interesting. Thank you. Well done and narrated. So so interesting, but then i am a British lady fascinated in true history. It is an up hill struggle being interested in history , as a British intelligent lady living in Melbourne, Australia. Thank you So much fir content, true and interesting. Keep it coming. Wonderful. From Uk Susie

[@Roz-y2d]

Omg, you sound so homesick,😅 but I suppose Australia has its own history and scandals, just not as highbrow!

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you, I went to university in the UK and most of my friends live there, and I miss it dreadfully too. :(

[@stuckinks3569]

What an interesting person. She lived a full life and then some. Another great video. ❤

[@Roz-y2d]

I’m sorry to say that I don’t like her. Not because of her promiscuity but because she had little care for anyone but herself, not even her children.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you so much.

[@BhavyaAndrea]

Daisy was such an incredible woman, such moxie, such fortitude. Such humility and empathy. Despite personal setbacks she went beyond simply coping and existing for her sake, she went above and beyond for the betterment of social equality, learning how the less privileged lived and what they needed. As part of her philanthropic ventures she invested in education so that men and women could develop careers and become independent. I’m already searching for biographies and her memoirs to learn more about her. Thank you Mythic, for bringing to light these remarkable achievements of unsung heroes. I can always use a dose of inspiration and I got a big dose today and one I won’t forget. I’m still in awe of your storytelling - no filler, every word counts and the story that unfolds always hold surprises. You remove the superficial and show us the humanity of some famous, some unsung extraordinary people. ❤

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you for being so supportive and always writing something truly insightful. There really is not much on her sadly, she does have a book, though I'm not sure it is still in print. I have a rather old copy. She certainly was a contradiction.

[@hellyh6081]

An absolutely fascinating life- you really made her shine.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you

[@cherylschantz9893]

I have no sympathy for any of them. Excess spending, reckless sex and broken hearts shattered so many lives. Meanwhile, the English citizens were suffering.

[@Mamadukee1]

Correct 😊

[@lacebird76]

So glad I found your channel!!! Great presentation, voice and tempo!! Excellent!!! Thank you!!

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you too.

[@TheFinalBoss316]

What an interesting story. Thank you for bringing us such remarkable people. I love how you vary your subjects.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thanks for the support.

[@jilltagmorris]

So glad to see this tonight! I needed something good ❤❤❤❤

[@MythicMindScape21]

Hope it met your expectations.

[@kristitedrow1577]

Good video. Thank you 😊

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you too.

[@amandabowman00aa]

One of my new favorite channels!

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you so much.

[@JuliaJulia007]

I truly enjoyed learning about Daisy. As a new subscriber, I'm looking forward to exploring your channel 😊

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you so much.

[@emilien.]

Fascinating woman, full of contradictions and fascinatingly told. I have mixed feelings about the Countess of Warwick. I especially focus on the Gilded Age portion of her life. I see her very much through the short-sighted lens of my own place in history while I simultaneously acknowledge her as a product of her life experience, beauty, adroit intelligence and her vaulted societal position. Had I lived back then, I fear I would have not fared much better than the character Lucy Ricardo pitted against Scarlett O'Hara.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Yes it is hard, i try as much as possible not to put my own bias on to the people from the different periods I cover on the channel. As no one wants to hear the biographers opinion, they want the story, then they are free to decide on their feelings towards the person. Scarlett :) There would be an interesting character to cover, I don't mean Maureen O'Hara, I mean if Scarlett had been an actual person.

[@SyIe12]

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐EXCELLENT WORK I LOOK FORWARD TO NEW VIDEOS! THANK YOU!!!

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you so much.

[@ashleykane4951]

Loved this, it was so awesome!!

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you so much.

[@i8zmnm]

New subscriber. Daisy has fascinated me for years. This video is so in depth and well researched. Thank you so much! Although I have read about her before I learned lots of new things.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you, really glad you liked it.

[@jenm6387]

Not a bad story, however I found myself rolling my eyes over and over at how outrageously these so-called moral Victorians behaved. That having affairs was an accepted norm for Royals and aristocrats is something I cannot condone, no matter what century we live in, no matter what class we are born into and no matter how much money we have. Princess Alexandra was a very good woman and while there are many things I admire about Edward, the Prince of Wales, his philandering was not one of them. How very hurtful for his lovely wife. Whatever happened to honour thy marriage? 💔 I was glad to see that Daisy evolved and she used her position and wealth for social reform rather than organising one frivolous ball after another.

[@anastasiayatsenuk]

99% of royal or high class marriages were made based on business, politics, joining families to secure a line or wealth. Nearly all of them were stuck with people they didnt love and often hadn't even known prior. No matter how much we are against infidelity today, it's rather hard to judge

[@SummaGirl1347]

It’s a little ridiculous to expect fidelity in arranged marriages. Edward VII had absolutely no choice in the matter of his wife. He married the woman his mother commanded he marry in the interest of a political alliance with Denmark. Yes, these people were moral reprobates but, they also were victims of the systems in which they lived.

[@liz.j6822]

Those marriages were mostly strategic contractual arrangements and more like business deals, they were hardly ever for love and it was unrealistic to expect fidelity

[@BradMiller-l9t]

Thank you once again for a remarkable and fascinating life of Daisy…well done!! You are sooooo good!! Thank you…I look forward to your videos…♥️

[@jswjanjan]

Aha so this is Rosemary's sister ! Thank you so much for another fascinating chapter.🌲💕👍🤗❤️🎄

[@MythicMindScape21]

Yes, I got interested in her as I' was doing Rosemary and seeing as she had almost no information on her, and no youtube videos I thought it might be fun to research her a bit more and give her at least some space on the platform.

[@jswjanjan]

@MythicMindScape21 O she surely can inhabit that space my dear!!! What a life!♥️💕💫👍

[@Melodie007]

Good one

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you.

[@darcellehoureld8395]

Warwick is my beloved Father's name ❤ in heaven He loves this story too

[@MythicMindScape21]

God Bless.

[@doctorcrusher2918]

Warwick is pronounced “worrick” in correct English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Lukerdog]

Exceptional work you've planted here; a rich depth of education provided in lovely, digestible narrative. The pictures and video are exquisite loam to nourish those roots. i'm grateful! Peace be with you...Lukerdog (yep, subscriber)

[@margaretcallan1065]

Loved this. Could you please do countess markievicz x

[@MythicMindScape21]

Thank you , I will look into it.

[@SharynPrevost]

Daisy Greville, the original “champagne socialist”! I will never again utter that phrase with a sneer and an eye roll. I’m going to watch this again to better understand a few things. I must be missing something about the baccarat brouhaha, seemed like a nothing burger to me. Also, for some reason, I don’t feel she was thoroughly committed to her blackmail scheme. I like the fact that she didn’t leap on the opportunity to marry Prince Leopold and instead married for love, never mind her “dating life” seemed to kick into high gear after the nuptials. Poor Daisy, it’s to her credit that while somewhat pressing on with societal expectations, she remained true to herself. I really enjoyed this one and appreciated the glimpse into Alexandra’s ummm….stoicism? Another win for you Beauty, thanks…

[@MythicMindScape21]

Such a way with words 'baccarat brouhaha' had me laughing. Oh can you imagine, there were probably large sums on the game, and the sly dog was cheating. "My dear Sir, you ae no gentleman" A glove was tossed, some vague mentions of a duel (hold me back , hold me back) Papers signed, promising he'd never play cards again. Then it gets out in the public and he has to sue for libel, as now people are saying he is no 'gentleman' Really seems like a storm in a tea cup. I'm with you, but they took that stuff seriously.

[@SharynPrevost]

@ Hey Beauty!! It’s funny how your videos frequently unearth some long forgotten memory. When I was 16/17, my sister wanted to go to Nassau and Daddy said okay but, she would have to take me along. What the hell that meant I will never know. Anyhoo, off we went and madam wanted to go to some casino which was famous for having been featured in some Bond film. Strolling around said casino, we stopped to watch some old geezer sitting at a table which had a railing around it and it was just him and the croupier. Miss Know-it-all explained it was baccarat and got busy trying to guess just how much dough was on the table, blah blah blah. I don’t remember much else from that trip except afterward, I wanted to be a croupier! Joslyn, my sister, put the kibosh on that explaining there were no female croupiers!

[@rabbitsrule9437]

Lord Warwick seems like his impotent.

[@ursulacook9883]

Very interesting, but the commercial interruptions were long, irrelevant & annoying. I could not skip them & would not watch further episodes if they contain such long commercials

[@Mamadukee1]

Well done video beautifully presented, for me what does Daisy Warwick know about anything from her gilded cage , what did she know about a days work , what did she know about the lives of the poor and working man nothing , what about the care and love of her children, to her her causes were her hobby, she was vain plain and did not affect the royal family, she could talk the talk but not walk the walk !!!!😏

[@MythicMindScape21]

Yes, her niece Lady Rosemary spoke rather harshly of her.

[@dylanthepickle6428]

I love these videos, but I don’t know that we should be glamorize any of these women on here’s lifestyle. Her affair with the prince of Wales really hurt his wife, Alexandra. I know he had a lot of other affairs, but I think we should be glamorizing good women like Queen Alexandra. Again, it’s not that I don’t really like your videos, I just don’t understand why the women you choose and the horrible lives they lead and the people they hurt is glamorous.

[@jenm6387]

Totally agree!

[@liz.j6822]

There was a lot more to her than her affair with the prince, she wasn't just an empty headed aristocrati, she used her position to help bring about social reform, she was a fascinating woman of many contradictions

[@franmellor9843]

*are glamorous ..or is * glamour

[@tundrawomansays694]

I fail to see anyone being “glamorized.” If you find the reality of this historical period too offensive to your sensibilities, don’t watch this channel. Their “horrible lives” were emblematic of the time and very proscribed circumstances in which they lived. Marriage was motivated by strategic financial/social alliances, not love matches. Women were not free to choose any old Tom, Dick or Harry or any one for that matter. It must be noted the fathers (and/or brothers) TOLD the woman who she WOULD marry. And BTW, who gets to decide which women were “good” and “worthy” versus those who don’t meet your august standards? You? No thanks.

[@alisong2328]

I love your videos. I do found it hard to hear you some when your voice drops, especially at the end of some sentences.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Sorry.

[@Doone60]

Royalty sucks

[@anastasiayatsenuk]

A lot of dirty laundry there😅

[@JennyKarling]

That isn't Westminster Abbey.

[@denisepeters8551]

Such an interesting life. ❤

[@C.R.J100]

I am new to your channel and find it very interesting. May I help you sound even more professional? English pronunciation in UK. Grosvenor Square. Not pronounced with the S. The s is silent. So you pronounce it like GROVE- nor Square. Hope this helps. Not sure which episode this was mentioned in! Thanks.

[@alisong2328]

Maybe you could do some wives of US presidents, like Abigail Adams and Eleanor Roosevelt.

[@MythicMindScape21]

i mean to do Eleanor in the near future. I do have Jackie on the channel.

[@rachelgates509]

In some of those pictures, her hair looks weird!!! Like a bad wig made of carpet or poodle hair or something

[@KatzMeow268]

I enjoy your channel, but I only watch the videos about professionally accomplished women, not the ones about royalty or heiresses or women who are only famous because they were born into particular families. History is rife with women who have earned their own way in life, attained great historical significance, inspired the varied arts and scientific inventions and contributed to the world. Those are the kinds of women I’m inspired by and would like to see you focus on.

[@jenm6387]

Well said!

[@SmilerORocker]

It could be argued that you can't have one without the other, ones trash creates another's genius, ying and yang.... and a whole bunch of other clichés 😂 ignore the trash talk and just marvel at the old videos and pics though, it will still enrich your imagination. I like to sit in my medieval house after videos like this and view it through their eyes. 👍🇮🇪

[@anastasiayatsenuk]

I love those the most too. However, i noticed that those ladies get the least views😢

[@moiramarriott4403]

You miss out on history..those women who have in their past juggled the restrictions of society is a lesson we shoukd appreciate . Without those rebellious forward thinking women the vote would not be achieved . Your jealousy is not productive

[@TheFinalBoss316]

Dismissing figures like Daisy Warwick as mere heiresses or socialites is oversimplifying history. Daisy, for example, used her privilege to fight for socialism, women’s suffrage, and labor rights-unpopular and radical causes in her time. Which had her ostracized from her class. She wasn’t just a passive product of her wealth; she risked her reputation, relationships, and financial stability to advocate for change that benefited the working class and women. I find what Daisy did in standing up for women's rights, fighting for labor, campaigning for office and trying to make the world a better place extremely inspiring. There are a lot of videos on this channel that cover women who came from nothing as well. No offense but what Daisy did was brave and I liked this story. Did she cure cancer? No. But at that time, in those circumstances, I found what she did interesting and inspiring. And hope Mythic keeps making great videos on various women week after week, across all classes.

[@dolinaj1]

Your work and narration are superb, but are wasted upon the Edwardians. Nothing about them interests me.

[@MythicMindScape21]

Subjects will vary week to week. I try to do a lot of requests from the subs, sorry this one did not resonate with you/.

[@Doone60]

Hang on

[@christinadiaz6460]

None of these women are “beautiful “ I don’t know why you insist on saying so. It’s money not beauty why they are being noticed is bc they are now old enough to be married. They have money , we know it’s NOT beauty! Maybe the only one would be princess Margaret the queens sister. This is the only beauty , all others your not obligated to say all these ugly women are beautiful lmao! We can see and stop insulting our intelligence. Shhhheeesh!!

[@MythicMindScape21]

@@christinadiaz6460 Again , my job as a biographer is to say what people at the time said. Would you prefer a biography where the biographer puts modern sentiments into the movie saying " people in 1890 found her beautiful but my personal opinion is... "or do you prefer to know how she was judged in her day? Beauty standards then are not the same as now, in a hundred years it is very likely the people we now find beautiful will not be judged as such. I am not here to judge their beauty, their morality or anything else other than to tell the story of their life. I am a historian and believe people can make their own mind up on the ethics, beauty or behaviour of the people. But I try and place the viewers in that time period. In fact in the video I directly say she was not considered a typical beauty like Langtry. But rather it was her style and elegance that people took note of. Again, all I do is report the quotes and sentiments of the day. Sorry that offends you. This is a history channel.

[@Hobbitma]

As always , an excellent video of someone I have never heard of. Don’t know how or where you do your research, but always impressive. Thank you!

[@MythicMindScape21]

Your words are always so kind. I really appreciate them.
