Queens Sovereigns of Spain

[heavilymelomaniac]

Un video muy bueno... Aunque fue Isabel "la Católica" quien al casarse con Fernando ("el Católico", por supuesto) unificó España... Lo que hizo Juana fue casarse con Felipe "el Hermoso" y dejar a su hijo Carlos (el futuro Carlos I de España y V de Alemania) todo el imperio alemán y todos los territorios conquistados por España.. Pero aún así está muy bien :) (Todo esto viene a raíz de la descripción del vídeo)

[astrofabio68]

@heavilymelomaniac si, pero no se llamo España oficialmente hasta el reinado conjunto de Juana y Carlos, ya que tanto Isabel como Fernando siguieron gobernando sus reinos de forma independiente, al menos Fernando

[heavilymelomaniac]

@astrofabio68 Ahí tienes razón, en eso no había caído... 1000 perdones pero, aún así, un gran vídeo :D

[Bdlezor]

God bless the glorious Kingdom of Spain

[ATCUHF]

Awesome video! Great Spanish European History!

[astrofabio68]

@ATCUHF thanks I will make a newone with better edition

[novaskosia]

Nice video! What is the movie that you use for Queen Isabella II?

[Hattaru]

I must say those are great Queen's indeed, Isebela is my fav but they are all great and each of them have there own streagth and love for there people and country, I have to say Queens of love for country and people as a love for a child, but a kings only want one thing, POWER, they don't care for there people in a way but only care about Power and money, I mean look at King Henry the 8th he is the top man of kings that are selfish.

[WhiskerScot569]

@Hattaru another perfect example would be king edward III of england would he not

[Hattaru]

@WhiskerScot569 Henry's Son? righht, I think it is time well in my opinon I think it is time for us to have a woman president!!! I mean men sure have not done a hell of a job for the courntry or people, I mean if we had great Queens, of the past surly we would have a great woman president?

[WhiskerScot569]

@Hattaru im not american but you may be right but i was talking about Edward III who commited genocide on france in the hundred years war because of the money he got from looting normandy and surrounding france your thinking of Edward VI but if you did have a woman president i'd be curious to see how it turns out

[slackergirl123477]

What is the movie called at :17?

[PrometeoEncadenado]

Larga vida a la Monarquía Española.

[XD13EX]

The best Queen ever

[astrofabio68]

@XD13EX who was the better queen for you?

[XD13EX]

@astrofabio68

For who? For White Christian Europe.If it wasn't for her the muslims would have take Spain and other part of Europe and kept pushing further North.

[astrofabio68]

@XD13EX no, you not understund..WHO of all those queens is your favourite, Urraca I, Isabel I , Juana I or Isabel II? thats is my question...

But I deduce for your answer, you spoke about Isabel I

[XD13EX]

@astrofabio68

Yes Isabel I.Good video by the way.

[LambChowder1]

@XD13EX "oh no"

[SaveChinaTiger]

Isabella I's only flaw is the inquisition otherwise she would be a saint queen. I always felt sorry for Joanna. The queens of Aragon and Navarre werent included!

[LeN0Re18]

Infanta Leonor hopefully be his next queen ..

[astrofabio68]

@LeN0Re18 I hope so.....if still exists the monarchy in Spain or Europe to then

[rscs971]

i've watched those films..:D

[alexgomez83]

sorry lol, last comment......I absolutely love your video :)

[alexgomez83]

I love Spanish History...as a Dominican I consider it as much apart of me than anything else. I've walked the ruins in Santo Domingo, Seville, Cordoba, Granada and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. But I am not as some people here, who fail to recognize the not so loving and pious aspects of that Empire. Isabella was a great Queen whose love and might established a great country, but whose might also led to the exile and slaughter of muslims, christians and other undesirables...

[alexgomez83]

do not get me wrong...no one is innocent in history....but only when we are able to consider the good and the bad aspects of our culture, will we be able to finally acknowledge who we are.

[blossomblizzard]

I am sure you have gotten this comment before but what is that video of Juana and where do I find it?

[astrofabio68]

@blossomblizzard is from the movie "JUANA LA LOCA" in english the title is "Mad Love"..hahaha

[violin233]

quiero el monarquia de españa

[cocobeanqueen]

what movie are the clips of isabel I of castile from?

[astrofabio68]

@cocobeanqueen the first part is from a Television of Spain's( TVES) series about the end of Kingdom of Granada. ( REQUIEM FOR GRAGNADA) and thes last scenes are from Conquest of Paradise a 1992 movie with Gerard Depardieu like Columbus and Sigourney Weaver like the Queen Isabel I

[LadyLBlack]

what movie is at 8 29

[astrofabio68]

@LadyLBlack is from the film Amistad de Spielberg

[PhxVanguard]

Ysabel WAS the xenith of spanish power. she alone set into motion the chain of events that gained spain a seat as the first truly global empire and intercontinental superpower. the first. she was also arguably the most pious monarch in world history. she should be a saint.

[mjay22]

@PhxVanguard She is also one of the most intolerant Spanish leaders when it comes to dealing with non-Catholics. They persecuted the Muslims, Jews, Protestants and other non-Catholics in the Iberian Peninsula. That's the only thing I disagree with her and King Fernando - their cruel "Reconquest" plan.

[PhxVanguard]

@mjay22 and what were the moorish conquerors of middle ages spain if not intolerant? spain's path to power was through it's unified piety. not corporate greed like england, or wild narcissism like france. there was at that time no room for more than one religion in a unified spain. just how tolerant of catholics are saudi arabians today? just how tolerant of catholics have muslims ever been?!

[CorieFaulkner]

@PhxVanguard Exactly. Muslims have no sense of tolerance whatsoever.

[alexgomez83]

You would be surprised then to learn that The Kingdom of Granada under Boabdil was perhaps the most tolerant Kingdom in the Iberian, harboring many jews and christians who fled the Spanish Inquisition. Also please remember the Alhambra Decree which exiled all Jews and later Muslims from Granada. I love Spain with all my heart, she is the mother country. But we should acknowledge her for who she was..the good and the bad.

[iSPaLiTo]

@alexgomez83 The inquisition was only for Christians. Look forward "1066 Granada massacre" in the Kingdom of Granada, was that tolerance? the History of Spain is unkowledge out of Spain. There have had bad things, very bad. But it isn't the same massacre than expulsion. And there are a Black legend created by british and now the world speak and read english

[astrofabio68]

@mjay22 in the age of Isabel the protestantims doesn`t exists and the persecution and expulsion of the Jews and Muslims was demanded by all the catholic Europe from Norway to France, from Portugal to Hungary

[CELIBERICO]

@mjay22 so we should just be slaughtered by the Muslims right??? I DONT THINK SO...........THOSE MUSLIMS CAME WENT INTO SPAIN WITH THE SWORD.........GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK..........

[ivansanchez98]

@mjay22 During the time of Urraca, Juana and Isabella I there were no such thing as Protestants! By non-Catholics: You must be referring to Muslims and Jews. Please do not forget that all - most of North Africa was Catholic(Christian) until the Muslim invasions in which those that did not convert to Islam were persecuted, slaughtered....

[I474IsabelI974]

Yo la Reina

[evaperonfan]

I think Katharine of Aragon should have been queen of Spain instead of Juana.

[PhxVanguard]

@evaperonfan agreed. had the spanish line not been dilluted by a weak and mad woman we could see a different global picture today.

[astrofabio68]

@PhxVanguard jJoanna was not crazy, her depression was used as an excuse to imprison her and seize power.

[Tekirai]

@evaperonfan if juana died without issue katherine would have been.......*then she coulda to henry viii to kiss her ass!!*

[LeN0Re18]

@evaperonfan If Joan die without issue, the next in line of succession would be Maria of Aragon (queen of Portugal and the only isabella's daughter who was happy)

[olimpiamariateresa]

no conozco ninguna pelicula de urraca i pero hay un libro que habla de ella en forma novelada que se titula "la reina urraca" y es de angeles de irisarri,la cual lo adapta perfectamente al lenguaje de aquella epoca

es una lastima que no se hable mas de doña urraca. aquí en españa, lo unico que suelen conocer es su nombre y nada mas...

[olimpiamariateresa]

es realmente gratificante ver como algunas personas se interesan por la historia en una epoca en la que impera lo chabacano

a proposito astrofabio68, creo que el video de doña urraca, de la pelicula el cid, a quien representa es a urraca, infanta de castilla, señora de zamora y hermana de alfonso vi, pero no importa, porque las escenas están tan bien escogidas que la imagen y el texto se adaptan a la perfeccion...

te felicito por tu trabajo y deseo que sigas colgando cosas de este estilo

[astrofabio68]

Si, exacto esta Urraca del Cid fue la tia de la reina que llevo el nombre de ella indudablemente y que además sobre Zamora fue soberana..asi que esta Urraca supo lo que es ser gobernante ...

esperemos que algun dia hagan una pelicula epica sobre esa parte de la historia de España tan rica en acontecimientos...

solo se falta un publico interesado en ver estos filmes...

[olimpiamariateresa]

muchas gracias por colgar esto

[astrofabio68]

Me agrada que te guste....

Preferiria que hicieran mas peliculas sobre la historia de España y sus mujeres y reinas y no tantas sobre transexuales convertidos en monjas y otras bizarradas...pero es lo que hay ..como decimos en Uruguay

[KaiserinFrederick]

finally! a video for a "deaf" woman! Thanks for putting in the subtitles

[Zattana68]

Isabel I was a great queen ! and I thin Joana I too, but she can`t prove it...

[GoddessofHyrule]

Urraca is my favorite woman on this list.

[astrofabio68]

To me Urraca and Isabel I

[ElizabethR46]

Las grandes Reinas españolas! muy buen aporte!

[aliveiroj]

ecxelente!

[WWDianaPrince]

better queens that Russians

лучшие суверенных российских императриц

[varidata]

with the big exception of Isabel II... the queen of the unfortunate Spanish s. XIX

[astrofabio68]

I know the riegn of Isabel II was bad..but you should understund the chaotic circumstances during her reign.

she was declared queen with only three years in a Civil war country, her mother leave her with Gral Espartero an leave the country.

She is proclamed soveriegn with only 13 years old.

Forced to married with a gay man at 17, who hate her...

What do you expect?

[gato123452]

@astrofabio68 wasn't she queen when the Spanish and American war was going on too?

[astrofabio68]

@gato123452 do you tallking about Isabell II?

[gato123452]

@astrofabio68 yes

[astrofabio68]

@gato123452 no. The Spanish-American War broke out between Spain and the United States in 1898, during the infancy of King Alfonso XIII, when exercised the regency of Queen Maria Cristina of Hapsburg like queen regent. sorry my delay in responding you

[TheKatherineofAragon]

Viva Elizabeta Regina hispaniae!

[WWDianaPrince]

agree!

[heraqueenofgods]

once again , awesome!

[InnateNobility]

Finally, a video featuring the intriguing marvelous Isabel and her equally amazing predecessor Urraca of Castile. I loved this video and the music used. What is the name of the film with Urraca in it?

[astrofabio68]

Epic film of the legendary Spanish hero, Rodrigo Diaz called "El Cid"

[astrofabio68]

Epic film of the legendary Spanish hero, Rodrigo Diaz called "El Cid"

thanks for your comments

[Fatadiluce]

Good Video!!

[astrofabio68]

thank you!

[125Nuria]

Excelente video con algunas imágenes de mis reinas favoritas, coincido en tu lista y añado a Maria de Molina una gran Reina Consorte de Castilla, fuerte y luchadora. Buen trabajo.

[125Nuria]

Se me olvidaba otras grandes reinas consortes Catalina de Lancaster y su hija Maria de Castilla ( Reina Consorte de Aragón). La historia está llena de soberanas fascinantes ( algunas controvertidas y otras no tanto)

[astrofabio68]

si, totalmente de acuerdo..pero mujeres regentes ha habido en todos los tronos incluso en Frnacia con su ley Salica ( e incluso es parte de lo que se esperaba de una reina..que pudiera ser regente si moria su esposo)..pero es mas dificil para una mujer mantenerse como soberana..

[astrofabio68]

si, yo se que ha habido reinas consortes que han jugado roles mas importantes a nivel politico que sus regios esposos..pero en este caso me quise detener en mostrar a las casi desconocidas Reinas soberanas españolas ( todo el mundo conoce a las inglesas..quizas por Hollywood) ...

Muchas gracias por tu comentario!

[125Nuria]

Se agradece tu aportación. El papel de la mujer en el trono en los difíciles períodos de regencia han sido en muchos casos admirables, se me ha olvidado nombrar a la digna Reina de España , Maria Cristina de Austria ( 2ª esposa de Alfonso XII) buena mujer.

[astrofabio68]

Solo basta pensar en Urraca o la pobre Juana...eso tan solo en España

Por eso considero mas interesante el rol de soberana , porque en un mundo masculino y dominado por el dogma de que la mujer es poco menos que una infradotada..no es fácil liderar ejercitos o que los hombres estén dispuestos a acatar la jerarquia femenina...

[125Nuria]

Es cierto, por eso entre mis personajes históricos favoritos se encuentra muchas soberanas. Muchas de ellas demostraron tener un temperamento fuerte e independiente unido a una gran inteligencia y astucia que les sirvió para solventar todos los obstáculos que encontraron en su camino en las épocas convulsas que les tocó vivir y defender su posición haciéndosen respetar por los hombres. Bravas y con alma de líder.

[125Nuria]

La desdichada Juana tenia dotes para ser una gran soberana pero cayó víctima de las ambiciones de su esposo ( su error fué amarlo), su padre e hijo ...ninguno hizo nada por ayudarla, condenándola a un encierro de por vida.

[AnaliaHyrule]

Urraca rules!

[astrofabio68]

ABSOLUTLEY! she ask the annulement of her marriage with the king of Aragon and she reign alone with her lover, Count Pedro González of Lara..

That is a woman ahead of her times

YEAR 1120!

[Sanderstown]

Congratulations excellent video. You just should coordinates a little better the music with some images...

great queens indeed!

[YeOldeTune]

[Ladyhistory40]

Awesome! is almost a history lesson!

Beautifoul scenes of Isabella I and her good looking husband Ferdinand!

[astrofabio68]

thanks for your comment!!!

[TheKatherineofAragon]

I think Joan could be a good Queen like her mother ...but her husband was a traitor who wants all her power only for him

[astrofabio68]

I think the same..she was too powerfoul to let her rule.....

[heraqueenofgods]

Awesome video...excelent music and scenes..!

thanks to this clip I can know something about the queens Urraca I and Isabella II

[astrofabio68]

thank you very very much!

[antoniotvfan]

[astrofabio68]

El tema con el movie maker es qu ese cuelga mucho

[antoniotvfan]
