“พวกเจ้านายตกต่ำนี่กระไร” สภาพราชวงศ์เมื่อต้นสมัยรัชกาลที่ 5 | ZAB HISTORY

"Arts and Culture" takes you back to the early Siamese court during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, when the Bunnag family reached the pinnacle of power, led by Chuang Bunnag, who became the first nobleman in the Rattanakosin era to serve as regent. At that time, the Bunnag family's power, whether high-ranking or low-ranking princes, was overwhelmingly under Chuang Bunnag's control. The royal family's power plummeted to an unprecedented level, as documented in numerous historical records. The phrase, "What a decline the royals have suffered," from the writings of Somdej Phra Mahasamanachao Krom Phraya Vajirayanavaroros, the 10th Supreme Patriarch of Rattanakosin, perfectly describes the situation of the Chakri dynasty in the early reign of King Rama V. What were the circumstances like at that time? What challenges did the royal family, especially the young King Rama V, face? Join us in this in-depth exploration. “ZAB HISTORY ‘The Decline of the Royal Family’: The State of the Royal Family in the Early Reign of King Rama V” 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Fear of a Royal Succession 07:04 The Terrifying Power of Chuang Bunnag 10:28 “The Decline of the Royal Family” 18:09 “How Much Longer Will I Live?” 21:31 Conclusion #RoyalFamily #KingRamaV #ZABHistory #SILPAPODCAST #SilpaMag #ArtandCulture References: Prince Narathip Praphanphong.
