The Forgotten Historians

How did a woman born into royal blood become one of Henry VIII’s most expendable victims?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like. Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

Margaret Pole, the last living woman of the Plantagenet line, began her life as the daughter of a duke and the niece of a king.
She survived regime changes, exile, poverty, and the constant danger of carrying the “wrong” blood yet none of it prepared her for what awaited at the end.
Loyal, devout, and cautious, Margaret was not a rebel… but in Tudor England, lineage itself could be a crime.

This video traces her long, difficult life, the losses she endured, the impossible choices she faced, and how fear of her bloodline placed her squarely on Henry VIII’s hit list.
Her execution was not justice, it was a warning. And it reshaped the balance of power in Tudor England forever.

What kind of illness makes a royal palace smell of death long before the queen herself is gone?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like. Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

This episode examines the final suffering of Queen Caroline, whose graceful public image concealed a medical catastrophe unfolding beneath her gowns.
Doctors failed to detect a massive internal abscess. Infection spread silently. Tissue began to die.
And with it came an odor so overwhelming that servants struggled to enter her chambers, a warning that her body was already shutting down.

Far from the elegance associated with Georgian royalty, Caroline died surrounded by pain, decay, and medical confusion.

What kind of illness could make an entire court fear a woman while she was still alive and even more after she died?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like. Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

This episode reconstructs the final years of Eleonore von Schwarzenberg, a powerful noblewoman whose body began to fail in ways no one around her could explain.
Her abdomen swelled. Her flesh decayed. Rumors spread faster than medicine could keep up.
Physicians argued, priests whispered, servants recoiled and fear filled the halls long before death arrived.

Using contemporary accounts, medical descriptions, and post-mortem observations, this video examines how a misunderstood illness combined with early modern medicine and superstition, transformed a dying woman into a figure of horror.
Not a monster by nature… but one created by ignorance, silence, and terror.

What part of her story disturbed you the most? 👇

What happens when a royal bloodline becomes so obsessed with purity… it begins to destroy itself from the womb?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like! Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

Mariana of Austria was born into a dynasty that treated blood as destiny.
Niece married to uncle. Cousin to cousin. Generation after generation folded back onto itself until the cost could no longer be hidden.
Her pregnancy wasn’t celebrated as a miracle, but feared as a reckoning.
What was born would not just inherit a throne, it would expose centuries of genetic arrogance written into flesh.

In this video, we uncover how obsession with royal purity turned biology into a battlefield and how one child became the living evidence of a dynasty’s collapse.

What if the man celebrated for “discovering” the New World left behind a legacy far darker than history ever dared to admit?

Christopher Columbus has long been remembered as an explorer, a visionary, a hero carved into statues and textbooks.
But beneath the myths lies a record of brutality, exploitation, and suffering that was quietly minimized or erased for centuries.
From forced labor and broken bodies to violence justified in the name of empire, the truth of his actions tells a very different story from the one we were taught.

In “The Brutal Truth About Christopher Columbus History Tried to Bury Forever,” we peel back the legend to examine the human cost of conquest and why so much of it was deliberately forgotten.

What kind of death is so brutal that even medieval chroniclers were afraid to describe it plainly?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like! Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

King Edward II of England didn’t simply die, he was erased.
Official records spoke of “natural causes,” but whispers spread of a punishment designed to leave no mark on the skin… and no mercy for the soul.
Deposed by his own wife and her allies, Edward was dragged from the throne to a prison cell, where power, rumor, and cruelty converged in one of the most disturbing royal deaths in history.

In this video, we follow the paper trail, the propaganda, and the legends to uncover what may have truly happened and why this king’s end terrified an entire generation.

What happens when a woman born with nothing rises so high in the French court… she nearly brings a king to his knees?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like! Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

Jeanne du Barry began her life in poverty, dismissed by society before she was even old enough to understand why.
But through charm, ambition, and sheer resilience, she climbed her way into the gilded heart of Versaille, becoming the final, most controversial mistress of King Louis XV.
Her beauty won her influence, her enemies multiplied in silence, and her presence fractured the court in ways the king could not control.
Loved, hated, envied, and blamed, Jeanne’s life became a storm that reshaped France’s most powerful palace.

In this video, we uncover the truth behind her rise, her downfall, and how a single woman challenged the fragile pride of a dying monarchy.

What kind of queen becomes so feared that history blames her for every whisper of poison, every shadow, and every drop of blood in France?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like! Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

Catherine de’ Medici entered the French court as a foreigner, a pawn, and a bride with no power of her own.
But through loss, betrayal, and political survival, she transformed into one of Europe’s most formidable rulers — a woman accused of plotting murders, manipulating kings, and turning France into a kingdom ruled by fear.
For centuries, she was painted as the mastermind behind poisonings, massacres, and dark arts… yet the truth of her reign is far more complicated — and far more human — than legend allows.

In this video, we uncover the woman behind the myth, the choices that shaped her legacy, and the terrifying events she has been blamed for ever since.

In the darkest corners of medieval justice, there was a method designed not just to break the body but to shatter the mind.
Rat torture trapped a victim beneath a metal container, forcing a starving rat to claw, bite, and burrow its way through living flesh in a desperate attempt to escape.
It was slow, excruciating, and calculated to make every second feel like an eternity.
For those condemned, death wasn’t the punishment, surviving long enough was.

In this video, we uncover why this terror existed, who suffered it, and how cruelty became a tool of law, fear, and political power.

What does it take for a woman to be remembered not for her beauty or her wit… but for a joke men created to destroy her?
I’ve just posted a new video, go take a look if you like! Your support truly means the world to me. 🖤

Rosalie Duthé was one of the most sought-after courtesans of 18th-century France, painted by nobles, adored by aristocrats, and admired in secret across Paris.
But her fame came with a price: a cruel caricature that turned her into the world’s first “dumb blonde,” a stereotype designed to humiliate her in front of the very society that once worshipped her.
Mocked on stage, whispered about in salons, and rewritten by scandal-hungry men, Rosalie became a victim of the performance they built around her, a performance she never agreed to play.

In this new video, we uncover the woman behind the myth and the truth behind the joke history used to erase her voice.
