  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FThJt_vsgWM&amp;t=585">9:45</a> Interesting fact: Wu Zetian&apos;s rise to power was so unheard of at the time in China that historians that came along a bit later in China quite literally didn&apos;t have words for it. &nbsp;The only word they had for what we would call an &apos;Empress&apos; exclusively referred to the consort/wife to the Emperor. &nbsp;They didn&apos;t have a word in Chinese that carried the connotation of a woman ruling in her own right/name so they basically called her the &quot;Woman Emperor.&quot;

  I like how the Elizabeth Bathorty background at some points is Lady Dimetrescu castle from Resident Evil Village because she was clearly inspired by her.

  Imagine being Henry the 7th and see your bloodline go downhill this badly.

  In the Sniper Elite: Zombie Army Trilogy final mission, the 3 evil corpses you need to sacrifice to the Hellmouth in order to defeat Demon Hitler are Elizabeth Báthory, Vlad the Impaler, and Ferdinand I of Naples. &nbsp;You find Elizabeth&apos;s corpse in a bathtub full of blood.

  &quot;Not familiar with this one&quot; - seen her often enough in Civ 5. Though not as bad as that Gandhi fellow with his nukes.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FThJt_vsgWM&amp;t=761">12:41</a> Fun fact: there was another reason why Wu was summon to Gaozong. You see Emperor Wang was also having a bit of a rivalry with the Consort Xiao who manage to make Gaozong a father. Jealous and fearing that her position was under threat, Wang suggested to Gaozong to bring Wu In the equation to end the rivalry. And unfortunately, both for Wang and Xiao, They would become victims of Wu.<br>If you want to more, I recommend two channels Extra History and Biographics.

  I think Henry VIII had good reason to think the Pope would grant him a divorce because he had done so for Louis XIIs divorce from Joan of France. However, it wasnt quite the same because they were both French, whereas Catherine of Aragon was Spanish. Italy was being fought over at the time between France and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who occupied Rome at the time. Charles V was her nephew.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FThJt_vsgWM&amp;t=585">9:45</a> I&apos;ve studied Wu Zhetian quite a lot, and by all accounts she was a very capable ruler.<br><br> She was ruthless, to be sure, but really no more than the male emperors of the time.<br><br>She&apos;s a lot like Catherine the Great, in that she truly believed that she could do things better. She exerted increasing influence over her husband, but he had been sickly for most of his life and had been dying slowly for like 15 years.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FThJt_vsgWM&amp;t=220">3:40</a> Actually, there were reasons why Henry&apos;s marriage couldn&apos;t be annulled. They only had married under an dispense, as Catherine had been married to Henry&apos;s older brother Arthur. This meant that Catherine and Arthur had never consummated their marriage and hence Henry couldn&apos;t now argue that opposite. Also, given the many children Henry and Catherine had together (though only one girl survived beyond childhood) it was clear that Henry and Catherine had consummated the marriage and lived together as husband and wife for many years.<br>Political pressure might have prevented the Pope do annull the marriage anyway but in the process it pressured him to make the right decision. Hence, it is false that the marriage was not dissolved only because of politics.

  Hi! This is Laura the one you made the video for! I&apos;ve been watching your channel for about 2 or 3 years now and I really enjoy the content and the discussions about history! You brought back my love of history when it was dying off and I&apos;ve been a fan ever since!
