LADY MARGARET BEAUFORT | My Lady the King’s Mother | The real red queen | mother of Henry VII

I love her and Margaret Beaufort. They both lived for their children's royal future

Witchcraft, like God can not be proven. Its the "eye of the 'wealthy' beholder". Nothing has changd in 2024

Another wonderful presentation bravo!

🖤🤍❤️

My 18 great great grandmother through Anthony.

The said ro be ,qst witch burned in England was a flemish girl a barmaid in Dedham. They tied ger to a cart at the market place and set her on fire. 100 years after witch hunting was banned, 1785. The witch hunter general had brought it bqck but it was ended after he was waiting for his trial after the civi war. He died of pneumonia before trial. The Bark maid war essay. She is not in the local records because it was illegal witchhunt and there fore a gang of villagers murdering a girl.

Finally, someone who can succinctly explain where the start of the family divisions in the war of the roses came from.

She was a amazing woman in her time

This is really fun stuff thank you again!

I have seen Philipa Langley has solid evidence the “Princes in the Tower” were not killed by Richard iii but lived to torment Henry Vii

Liked this video. I've never heard of this lady😊. Thanks

Of course Jacquetta was not a witch. I will not give my credit card to google (you
tube) because they sell it.

If Jacquetta was a witch, she was quite beautiful and bewitching. The term witch was used on strong and bright woman and strong willed,too
After her Duke husband died she was left a rather wealthy widow.
But before a more suitable husband could be found for her she found one for herself with an unimportant and obscure
and impoverished knight of the bed-chamber by the name of Woodville.
They quietly married and were heavily fined.
They had many ❤️ beautiful and bright and healthy children.
The first one, Elizabeth eventually married Edward IV and the rest is history as they say.
And their heritage lives on even in the current royal family rather distantly.

"She won't obey every single word and command of mine so she's obvi a witch. Burn her. Now." --every man 500 years ago.....🙄

If she was a witch, she wasn't a good one. 😅

My 20th GGM & I agree with you, like many women of her time, they saw much hardship, war & death. You had to be cunning in those days.

According to 'The Great Bagel Survey' . . .
9 of 13 people are good & honest all the time.
3 of 13 people are honest so long as they can afford to be.
1 in 13 people cannot be trusted in anything . . . ever.

This morning (June 8, 2024), I just discovered I'm a direct descendant of Jacquetta through her marriage to Richard Woodville! I see where I get my integrity from - resilience runs in the family. It's ancestral.

Royals had many children and their are many of us still some of us not considered royal anymore but we still carry the blood of our anscestors but there really are a lot you to could possibly be related somehow worth finding out with dna ✌️

I grew up near Luxembourg....
Beautiful landscape.
I love witches..

She married a man “very handsome and well-made” by her own choice after submitting to an arranged marriage to a middle-aged man in her youth in spite of the social consequences. Good for her!

I know that I t was common for young girls to be married off to men long ago, but this is the fort time I’ve heard of a teenage boy being married off to a 60ish yr old woman. Was that common?

Just discovered that I’m one of her many many grandchildren 🎉

A point of order. She predicted the marriage, but did not bring it to bear.

Kind of cool I found out I’m directly related to her of course down the line lol

Who is the lady in the thumbnail?

I'm descended from Henry VIII. These people are my ancestors. My paternal grandparents came from Ireland. I'm 60% Irish though. I've read so many books on these people. They led very interesting lives.

18th GGM and I don’t believe she was a witch for a second. The Earl of Warwick seemed woefully desperate to obtain ultimate power. I wish there had been a painting of Jacquetta : she must’ve been beautiful as her daughter was so known to be. Thank you for this wonderful video.

A great lady of the times of the last era of the Plantagenet’s. It’s interesting to see how many posting here are descendants of Jacquetta. But not surprising…for she bore many children & married them off into good families during her son-in-law, Edward the 4th’s, reign.

14 children! Yet she seemed to have such energy from what I’ve read. No wonder there were Woodvilles popping up everywhere in new positions during the reigns of Edward and Henry.

I'm related to all of them

Interesting episode. Thanks!

So the witchcraft allegation had as much supporting evidence as the "the 2020 election was stolen" allegation.

I’m unclear why Elizabeth Woodville was considered too lowly for Edward IV when her mother had impressive European roots?

Having aried over 2 years ago this is a posthumous comment. Jaquetta was my direct 14th-great-grandmother. I am also a direct Plantagenet descendant via John of Gaunt, so credentials are established. I'm a dilettante student of history for some interesting reasons. Studying Jaquetta's life, which is storied and remarkable by any standard, is a very tough act to follow; aside from Eleanor of Aquitaine, she is at the top of my favourite list of ancestresses. Cecily Neville also, though she had some rather interesting facts missing from her story, starting with which of her children was legitimate, was worthy of study, which left me with unanswered and unprovable questions. Jaquetta was a woman of strong character (who else could have survived so many pregnancies and deliveries in the 14th century) and resilience.
As for the charge of witchcraft, by 14th-century definitions, she was innocently railroaded for political gain. That she could summon the Lord Mayor of London and Margaret of Anjou, then Queen of England, speaks highly of her moral fibre, courage, and simply being badass. Witchcraft is a spicy topic no matter where or with whom one speaks. Some opinions differ entirely from person to person. A crack should be left open on any door firmly shut against assumptions. I've seen things in my relatively long life that have made me pause and question the reality of the supernatural. That statement does not reflect the definition of witchcraft of the 14th century, nor do I think the paranormal is necessarily evil. Perhaps Jaquetta did have a connection with the Divine to give her images of her future and that of those whom she loved and knew well. I say this from personal experience. I have seen the future before living it, and it is, in a word, eerie, though never evil. I don't hear voices, nor am I directed to do evil things. It's simply there. For example, I was driving home with a professor and 4 students in my car and just before it happened, I saw a vehicle travelling at high speed through the intersection I was approaching and slammed on the brakes. That same car sped past at a speed that would have killed all 6 of us. While I waited for the car to come through the intersection, obscured by several buildings, my professor asked why I had stopped. The car then passed through at a very high rate, whereupon I said, "That's why." I remained at the intersection because just as I slammed on the brakes, my mind showed me a police vehicle without a siren was approaching from an angle I could not have seen. To my professor's shock and the impatience of the car behind me, the police car passed at just as high a rate of speed. She said, "You just saved all our lives. How did you know?" Not wanting to give away my gifts, I said, "I saw them as they came down the street between the buildings." I have five living witnesses to the paranormal of that day, and there have been many prior and many following days in which these gifts have been manifested. Most would call that witchcraft, but would you call me a witch? I don't, and it may just be that these gifts are hereditary. My identical twin also had gifts that were different from mine but just as inexplicable. So does my elder daughter. As for me, there is ample evidence to convince scepticism to those who rode in my car that day.

Jaquette mean night gown in French

An interesting video but did you really need to insert the images of the stereotypical Halloween witch ( with pumpkins and cauldron ) in black cloak and pointy black hat

Do you know anything about the Earl of Rosa or the Harwood family

Wow, this was wonderful and soooooo well done.

She was not a witch. She did not use witchcraft. Period.

Castle 🏯🏰

Thanks

I first heard about her when I happened upon The Lady Of The Rivers by Philippa Gregory, it was a very good read! I actually like that in that series she explores many of the rumors during that time, like the witchcraft allegations. It makes for good "what if"s since it's fiction, and we don't always know everything about their lives.

Too bad you didn't discuss the origins of her witchcraft accusations. The myth is that one of her grandmother's was a mermaid that was allowed to marry a prince on the condition that he allow her 1 private bath a month (forgive me if this incorrect). Curiosity got the better off him years into the marriage, so he walked in on her and saw that she was indeed a mermaid. She became furious and left never to be seen again.

I love hearing about my ancestors.

For a moment, can we divorce our thoughts and feelings towards Royalty. And think of the superstition rife in all society's throughout the ages. From tbe hay-day of the Church (Catholic, then the protestant and then finally the Puritans of Salaam.) All that time horoscopes and various charms were cast. For the highest to the lowest Europe wide.
Queen Elizabeth I had her Wizard for the want of better name. No these women were not witches as we, or I see it, did they cast charms, etc. Maybe! Main point a Rich woman or lady would be vulnerable to any accusation brought against her. Males had a fair bit more freedoms but were still at risk.

Elizabeth Woodville's supposed reason for being accused used of dabbling in witch craft sounds ludicrous to us now.
Back then they believed it
The fact that the Monarchy would choose a commoner he HAD to be bewitched. Think of our phases to indicate someone is in love. How about someone who is pleasant, they are Charming. It was more serious back then. 😮
