Eleanor of Toledo and Cosimo Medici: The Ultimate Renaissance Power Couple

She is credited with being the first modern first lady or consort.

Eleanor of Toledo was an exceptional woman who lived during the Renaissance when women were often relegated to the background. But despite this, she managed to carve out a place for herself in history as one of her time's most powerful and influential women. In this video, I'll take you on a journey through Eleanor's life, exploring her accomplishments, struggles, and the legacy she left behind. Eleanor's story is one of determination, strength, and unwavering commitment, from her remarkable marriage to the powerful Cosimo Medici to her patronage of the arts and her role as a political advisor.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
