Life as a Medieval Princess: Why It Was Nothing Like You Think
In today's video about medieval princesses, we uncover the brutal truth behind the fairy tale. We follow Empress Matilda's daring escape from Oxford Castle across a frozen river, Eleanor of Aquitaine's sixteen-year imprisonment by Henry II, and Joanna of Castile's forty-six years of confinement. Discover how Katherine of Aragon arrived in England speaking only Latin, why Lady Margaret Beaufort's childbirth at thirteen nearly killed her before she founded the Tudor dynasty, and how Isabella of France invaded England to overthrow Edward II. Learn about Ingeborg of Denmark's twenty-year fight against Philip II of France, Anna Komnene's writing of the Alexiad inside a Byzantine monastery, and Christine de Pizan's defiant words from 1405. From the Black Death to lead cosmetics, this is what life inside medieval Europe's castles really looked like. #medievalhistory #medievallife #tudorhistory #tudorera #darkhistory
