Agrippina was the great granddaughter of the first Roman Emperor, Augustus; the grand niece of the second Emperor, Tiberius, the sister of the third, Caligula, wife of the fourth, Claudius and mother of the fifth, Nero. After several personal tragedies, Agrippina became ruthless in her pursuit of security and power. As a woman, she couldn’t rule herself, so she manipulated and murdered her way into the Emperors bed; then secured her own son’s place on the throne. Only to have him turn on her and order her elaborate assassination.

Series on Canonized Royal women?
According to a documentary about Nero, he only burned down houses to stop the fire. That's a strategy used by firefighters until today (though mainly in forrests, not in an inhabited area). The historians consider it unlikely that he ordered the fire, as he was the one who lost most from it. And after the fire, he let the homeless live in houses owned by him and lowered the food prices. He wasn't all that bad. A lot is just propaganda by his enemies. Though he probaby wasn't a pleasant person, he wasn't quite as bad. And he blamed the fire on the Christians after many people blamed him for it.
Well you should make a video about Roman Emperor series.
Can you please do a video series on the Borgias and the Medicis?
Agrippina the Younger was the focus of my thesis paper almost a year ago. Trying to wade through the like of Tacitus, Suetonius, and Dio to find an unbiased view on her was near impossible as my goal was to re-write her as an ideal mother and wife based on the expectations of Roman women. A not so challenging write for a woman who absolutely needed her story to be rewritten in a more positive light.
I saw this an instantly jumped on watching it.
Thank you for all of your amazing hard work and dedication to history.
Agrippina the Elder had many positive qualities but really, if she was convinced Tiberius killed her husband for being a threat why did she think it was a good idea to go to his capital and loudly making accusations and putting her sons in his sights, especially since even the older ones were too young to be a true threat to the Emperor at the time.
Can you do a video of Nero. Also I love your channel.
Wow! Those individuals were insane. 😳
Loved this video! So interesting!
A prime example for how loving (any) man always is the downfall for great women.
Since I was so lost, I think we’re going to need some follow up videos 😅
That is probably one of the most in-depth documentaries on agrippina the younger I've ever seen. It made a lot of my knowledge of Roman history click more into place. Thank you. That was excellent. And I agree, a history of the powerful women in Rome would be fascinating and I would thoroughly enjoy hearing that as well.
I really love your videos on your YouTube channel. They’re very informative and detailed.
What a ride! That was fascinating. I think I went cross-eyed at one point trying to follow the family lines 🥴
i'd love to see the story of agrippina, or just all the women, as a high quality tv show. great video.
Agrippina name so cute
I have to say that Agrippina was a very interesting and important figure. This documentary shows a depth about Agripina's life since childhood though I do wish she should have been married into a much decent man Than domitius or whatever his name is.
Hard to believe that he had cystic fibrosis as until very recently nearly all died at a young age
One awkward note: Augustus wasn't called that until he became emperor. He was named Octavian.
When Caligula was unwell and almost died, people would pray to the gods for him to survive and say something like I would trade my life to save the emperor. Once Caligula was well again he made people make good on their promises to the gods by giving their lives to save caligula. Basically they had to kill themselves or they would be killed anyway. Complete psycho
Eweee!! that neck beard Nero. Very unattractive!
Another wonderful video on fascinating women in history, thank you, Lindsay!👏
I just wanted to ask if you can do a video on the 3 wives of Shah Mohamed Reza of Iran. I found out about them & I was so interested in them & their personal struggles, especially Princess Fawzia of Egypt, she's sooo beautiful but suffered quite a lot.
I love this channel! I learn so much from each video… 👌👌
Just wanted to say I love your videos Lindsay!! Keep it up!!!
Mong history tea time with Lindsay holiday làm thật nhiều videos mới hơn nữa
Hope history tea time with Lindsay holiday makes more new videos
Tell me the side profile of the two of them doesn't remind you of Kate and William 🤔
Hey Lindsay, what would happen if a monarch died with only daughters but his consort was pregnant and had a son after the daughter was coronated?
One thing I always notice is the curly hair in ancient sculpture, but the straight hair of modern Italians. I wonder if hair was really curly, or if it was just fashionable to depict it so (… as was done with physique, you know, everyone but Nero was shown as healthy and muscled no matter the truth if their bodies in real life).
what a girlboss
Please, about the four Julias of the Severan dynasty; Especially about Julia Domna and Julia Maesa, make it at least 45 minutes
Tiberius never murdered Germanicus. It was never proven and Agrippina the elder wasn’t smart at the political games at all which got her exiled. All of the stuff about Capri is rumours since it was not written during his lifetime and only one historian suggest it and also mentions it was rumours not proven facts. Tiberius is similar to Richard iii with propaganda ruining their reputation from others.
