Goya's paintings he did on his walls are pretty interesting. He became deaf and with the stress on the peninsular wars and civil wars and such he basically went crazy cooped up in his house. There, he did disturbing paintings like Saturn devouring his son.

Here's one that might be interesting. The painter Van Gogh had been taking digoxin (foxglove) for his seizures. One of the long-term side effects of digoxin is that it affects people's vision and make their view of the world somewhat yellow. It's like walking around with yellow-tinted glasses. Some doctors and historians (and medical historians) believe that this side effect would explain why Van Gogh's paintings became more and more yellow-dominant as the years go on. It's not an artistic style, it's because that was what he saw.

I really enjoy history. British history isn't usually my strongest, but I'm glad your video help me learn more things about the British royalty.

There really should've been a movie about WWI in the '90s with Tim Curry playing all three cousins/monarchs (George V, Bill II, and Nick II were pretty much identical, with only slight differences in facial hair. There are photos from before The War with them wearing each other's uniforms, and you wouldn't know which was which if there wasn't a caption.)

King Edward VII quite liked his trips to Paris where he had a large number of "affairs"

Second time watching this; just to point out, that the Queen can refuse a new parliament, amongst some other things, but there would be complete uproar so it will never happen.

Just to point out, fact number 79 is about the maternal line of Queen Elizabeth II, so isn't actually about the royal line.

I think a fender smith might be the person who maintains and repairs the fireplace fenders, which looks like a low "fence" around a fireplace hearth.
