Love this look at the Kokoshnik Tiaras. I love history as well and seeing this was wonderful. I am not as fast a reader as I use to be so I had to pause the video so I could get a good look and read all you had to say about all the interesting families who owned these tiaras. Having titles and wealth is no promise of Happily Ever After unfortunately. Thank you for taking the time to educate us on this little known part of history..

Thank you so much - I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I was still getting the hang of things in this early video, so the speed would be much slower if I made another one like this today. And oh, yes, those royal titles never guarantee a happy ending. Their sad stories make me glad I wasn't born to that life. (Still a little jealous of the palaces and tiaras, though!) :)

The correct spelling of the nickname of Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster, is "Bend Or." It was the name of his grandfather''s (1st Duke of Westminster) thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1880 Epsom Derby. "Bend Or" is also a term from heraldry (coats of arms). A "bend or" is a diagonal stripe (bend) of yellow/gold (or) that goes from upper left to lower right of a shield or escutcheon . The original coat of arms of the Grosvenor family featured a "bend or" on a blue (azure) background, but in 1390, another family filed suit in the Court of Chivalry contesting their right to use it. The Grosvenor family lost the case, and King Richard II commanded them to comply with the verdict and change it, which they did to the one still in use today. The horse's name was a family "in-joke" that referenced that old device and court case.
@TheGirlintheTiara
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you for such a detailed comment! Yes, I found the origin of his nickname during my research (both the horse's name and the family heraldry). The majority of print resources I consulted collapsed the two words into one ("Bendor"), including the album of his third wife, Loelia Lindsay. "Bend Or" is the original and more accurate, as you pointed out, but I chose the simpler version more often seen in print. Thanks again for adding to the story! :)

Seeing all those beautiful kokoschnik tiaras it is very strange that the Russian GrandDuchess Anna Pavlova sister of the Tsar who became Queen of the Netherlands when she married King Willem II never introduced nor used a Kokoschnik during her life in the Netherlands.
@TheGirlintheTiara
3 жыл бұрын
That's an excellent point, and I can only think of two potential reasons. In the 1820 fire that burned down her palace, she lost a number of diamonds. Some were recovered, repolished, and reset in a new ruby-and-diamond tiara. I'm not sure what piece(s) those diamonds were in prior to the fire. Maybe a kokoshnik? And she simply chose a different style when those gems were repurposed? Also, her brother, Nicholas I, was the first to codify Russian court dress, which really brought kokoshnik tiaras to prominence. But Anna's trousseau would have been created before he became tsar, while the Empire style of jewels was still so popular. Maybe that has something to do with it? Thanks for bringing this up...it's an interesting point to ponder!

Looks fascinating! If there is no spoken dialogue, you have to learn how to space out the story so it gives everyone reading along, a generous amount of time to do it in. There was too much written for the time given. You barely had time to look at the photos shown while reading (and more often than not..there was no time). More photos and close up photos of the tiaras and the person wearing it. I really wish I could have enjoyed the photos and the written dialogue. It’s an amazing topic.
