Brilliant! She had an interesting life- not exactly easy tho, especially having to leave her baby daughter in Portugal, & it's kinda interesting but sad that so many of her female relatives had really tragic lives; #1 probably being her mother Juana. I didn't know Henry VII was considering a marriage between Eleanor & Henry VIII tho!
Actually King Manuel of Portugal negogiated the marriage between Eleanor and his son and heir, Prince João. It is said that the portuguese king found Eleanor so beautiful that he decided to marry her and later he married his son, Prince João, to Catarina, Eleanor 's younger sister. It is also said that Prince João, future King João III, never forgave his father for what he considered a treason.
Poor Eleanor!
Oh the political games of marriage! I wonder if she had been happy with Frederick. Maybe happier than what her life came to be. And her only daughter was haughty towards her! This made me cry. Poor Eleanor! I'm glad she had good relations with her siblings. Thank you so much for telling about her life! I enjoed the pictures too, as allways ❤️
Thank you for telling her story. What a life she led. It is sad that she never got to enjoy a family life eventhough she was married twice and had one surviving child. She truly endured the roller-coaster of the politics of her time.
Great video, actually all of them you do. I especially loved all the images in this video sone of them I have never seen before. Thank you 👍
Another pawn in the marriage game of powerful people. Sad life.
What a life. Seems like she found some peace and stability with Francis.
Love all these hidden gems you present to us thank you
Awesome history video I enjoyed it 👍😀
As usual, this is wonderful and thank you so much! ⚜
Must have been a sad life in many ways — especially to be estranged from her children
Wonderful as always 🎉! Merci 🌸♥️!!!
..
Merci.
Love your video's! Maybe you could do a video about the (3) musketeers or the platonic mistresses of Louis xiii? Keep up the good work❤️
Great content as always, Nieke. I always appreciate all your beautiful work. Thank you.

👆 – MY PRIVATE PHOTO HERE 😘💌w💞
I always look forward to a new royal soap opera every week.
I knew she was Queen of France, but I didn’t know she was Queen of Portugal
Whoa ! She had that Habsburg jaw. She dodged A bullet in regards to Henry the 8th.
Still my personal favorite Portuguese Princess remains Catherina de Braganza wife of The Marry Monarch Charles II Stuart
OMG I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO COMMENT?? You make amazing videos 💖😼💅🏽 Nieke, you are an amazing youtuber dont let the dumbass haters get on to you. 😽
