@@DoYouReallyNeedThis-h1t I'm not that one person. There are many of us related to these individuals. I just happen to be someone who actually knows because we did the DNA testing and record documentation. The only thing I rule over in my own life. I'm extremely grateful to be related, but also have carried a heavy karmic burden. This connection comes with blessings ( educated, strong women), and the understanding of the consequences of their choices ( taxing peasants, wars, etc) I do not take this connection lightly.

@@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n I think so too. I'm incredibly grateful I finally know my family history. We had no idea until my mother started our family genealogy. She was trying to find out who her grandfather was. My great grandmother gave birth at 15 and refused to tell anyone who the father was. It was the boy from the farm next door in Kansas. We subsequently learned that both sides of her family are related to the rulers of Europe for generation, upon generations. Our family came to America because we were decendeded from 2nd and 3rd sons or daughters who tended to not receive lands or titles by the 1600's.

Part 2 was well worth the wait. I've always been interested to know more about this clearly remarkable woman but in both books and documentaries you only ever catch fragmentary glimpses of her always in the background of her husband's story so I was delighted when I saw that you were giving her not 1 but 2 full videos all to herself. Her and her story front and center for once. And of course I can't wait for the surprise third video. Keep up the fantastic work. Thanks! ❤

@@geoffball4431 I'd really love it if she did as in depth a look at Joan of Kent. She's always been one of my absolute favorites but just like Mathilda of Flanders she's almost always relegated to being nothing more than a supporting character in the life stories of her 2nd or possibly 3rd husband/(depending on how you look at it lol) Edward the black prince or her son the ill fated Richard II. She's another one who almost never gets to have her story front and center despite the fact that she was important and influential and just down right fascinating and had at least as interesting and unbelievable a life as her son or any of her husbands.

The problem with William the Duke of Normandy assuming that the King of England would give him the crown after his death based upon the fact that William was the King of Englands nearest male relative to inherit is a French/Norman way of inheriting the crown. In England at the time the Witan (a group of noble men) decide who the next king will be, because of the exact reason Edgar the Ethlining was too young to rule a kingdom. It was the way England did things.

William & Matilda are my direct ancestors as well! That is one reason that i enjoy studying/learning Medieval history. I believe that I will honor them in the earthly resurrection that Christ Jesus promised (John 5:25-29) by knowing about their struggles/achievements in this world run by the Devil (1 John 5:19) prior to their sleep in death. (John 11:11-14)

Good question! I think Matilda would probably have been considered very educated for her time, due to her knowledge of international politics and Latin, but equally other noblewomen in the early Medieval period were also highly educated. I think it was probably like someone with a Doctorate amongst a lot of people with MA degrees - all considered very academically clever when compared to the general public or even their husbands, but the one with the Doctorate has even more knowledge than that.

To go with last week’s question, who is a Historical person who you study who you really and strongly dislike? Mine would probably be King John (not only a bad king but I can’t find good qualities in his personality💀), James I (same as John, sh*t person, sh*t king) and (this one’s likely gonna get me hate but well) Anne Boleyn. The more I learn about her the more I loathe her😭.

Ooh.....can Henry VIII get a mention here? 🤣🤣🤣 I honestly used to think he was at least a half-decent king, but over the years, I honestly can't find anything redeemable about him at all. Super random one, but Tacitus, the Roman historian. He came from a very male-dominated time, I know, but his descriptions of contemporary (or near contemporary) women must have even made men cringe at the time. If they're not mindless, silent, virginal idiots, then they're all harlots who deserve all the punishments lol - see his descriptions of Cleopatra VII, Boudicca, Cartimandua. It's just very obvious from the way he writes that he loathes women who dare to have any role in public life, not to mention he often wrote years after they were dead, and it makes me seethe that equally it's only his surviving descriptions that allow us to know about these women at all.
