Absolutely fantastic presentation :) :)

59:00

Richard iii was not so careless or stupid nor brutal to kill the sons of a brother he adored .. nor did he loss his crown because people thought he did ..he lost the throne because of Nobal Greed and Richard iii support of common people ..as for Margret no one put blame on her because she her husband and Buckingham spread the Propaganda of Richard being a child killer to win suport

I don’t understand why Historians, Ricardians & others defend Richard III behind the Prince’s in Tower. He was their Guardian! Regardless of What Happened or who did it… He Is Responsible!!! They ‘went missing’ on his watch without explanation!

Delapre Abbey is situated about 1 mile South of the town centre of Northampton, UK.

Very enjoyable. 👍

Your map (1 minute in) showing the location of Ludlow is wrong, you show the town as way North of Shrewsbury whereas it is just the opposite - over 30 miles South.

My ancestors approve of this video. Yes, my real name. Many thanks.

Mathew , you are just BRILLIANT!!! I do use in my works, being international journalist and international relations expert, the same methods of a analysis you do! I am subscribed in your and Richard III of England' Society in Facebook , and I have always been а convinced Ricardian. I'd apply to become a member of the Society soon, and I'd address you with my admirations for your and Phillippa for your fantastic miraculous achievements. As a convinced practicing Christian , I am 100% sure that king Richard III was a moral and lustful Christian monarch , framed by social and political climbers, opportunists and intriguants. This is the only explanations why God allowed his remnants of a real knight and hero to be found more than half millenium , inspite of all framing, black PR and satanic conspiracy against him. It is not very relevant to call Richard 'pious ' , because pious was as well Margaret - Henry Tudor's witchy mother, and I guess Jaquetta of Luxemburg also presented herself as pious. 'Pious ' however is not a synonym of 'Christian ', as the adepts of Satan might also consider themselves pious. Death Mat, I'd dare send you some suggestions re. your investigation projects. The story of Richard III is very similar to the truth about another great king of the similar historical period - the Russian Tzar Ivan Grozniy. By the way, to name in English Ivan IV 'the Terrible ' is not right , because it is a synonym of 'awful ' , but the Russian word 'грозньiй ' means 'Dangerous ' /to his and Russia 's enemies /. Another similarity is that Tzar Ivan IV had his own 'prince of the Tower ' - his own Son and crown- prince whom he was accused to have murdered himself. Recently international group of scientists, Including Russians, opened the grave of the Tzarevitch Ivan, and proved that he died as a result of slow poisoning , not hit by his father by his royal scepter. Russian scientists continue their investigation re.the true reputation and story about Ivan IV of Russia . Admirations too to the young presenter of the channel!😂❤😂

The bare cheeks at the end ended me!

This is amazing! You did such a great job hosting, man!

This is VERY well hosted, great job. Please keep these vids coming!

Love it!! I’m team Henry all the way

Enjoyed that. Great enthusiasm, but the shirt has to go.

Anne Boleyn said Henry had been a good husband, and something like "a kind and noble lord," in order to protect her daughter Elizabeth from the wrath of Henry. If she had protested her innocence or made statements that she had been falsely accused on the orders of her husband - in other words spoken the truth - she couldn't be sure that her daughter and family would not have been harmed. So, people do lie just before they are executed in order to protect the ones they love.

Wow this was just incredible! I'm two years late but thank you so much for hosting (couldn't have moderated the conversation better) this wonderful debate and to all of the speakers this one is a definite rewatch for me.

You make great videos I often visit Delapre abbey and was unaware of its history.

You deserve a TV series with you light presentation of history.

I love history and are from Northampton. Your presentation is the best i have seen very impressed not boring.

My 14x great grandmother is buried somewhere on the grounds but no one knows where 😭

Edward vth had become king, the woodvilles who were disliked by many lords of the time would have been very powerful. Therefore there would have been many iwho would see his kingship as a threat

On the 1st Map, Ludlow and Shrewsbury are swapped. Ludlow is South of Shrewsbury.

Nice fresh approach, left nothing out. Cheers.

@1:13:50 if you torture someone they'll say anything. Any....Thing

Was London a completely walled city? Was it militarily solid? It's not clear how the Londoners could stop the Lancasterian army from forcing their way in. Thanks. Good episode.

1) The victors write the history; and 2) I would not take what someone says on the platform before the gallows, or block as 100th truth. We do know exactly what Anne said about Henry being a "gentle, kind, merciful prince, etc... " The only reason why that survived, is it assuaged Henry's guilt, and placed him in the best light of history. It is possible, that her speech was indeed written by Henry or, a faithful soul in his employ wishing to keep his own head.

Matt "If you say Richard is a nice guy, then you say the Tudors are pretty rotten for taking the crown off him... " Either way, I personally say - The Tudors ARE, pretty awful!!!

I think Richard was a man of his times, the death of his father & older brother along with their abandonment gave him a value lesson. He was going to act quickly after the King’s death to secure a York on the throne. I think it would have been better that Richard had raised the two princes to assure a true Yorkist loyalty. The Woodville’s were still viewed as Lancastrians by many and having a Woodville Uncle raise the boys was a recipe for disaster. Edward did not plan for his early death which still surprises me since he new firsthand how quickly the wheel of fortune could turn.

Edward III was a notorious unfaithful husband to Elizabeth. Jane Shore was his mistress for years up until his death.

I love the "meme" example! That was ab excellent way of thinking about it. It's so hard to know what people TRULY thought at the time, because rarely, are we hearing from people of the exact time period that it was written about. Ideas can change, decade to decade (as social media has definitely shown to be true)

Fantastic stream, would love more of these!!

Fantastic discussion! I could have listened to this for hours more. Brilliant historians who made superb arguments strongly grounded in the historical records & rumors of the time. While some of the Yorkist arguments do hold water, I'm a John of Gaunt & Beaufort stan therefore side with the Lancastrians. I highly recommend Nathen's "The House of Beaufort" book.

This was great 🤍 #Richardlll 🤍

Ok now I'm getting upset you talk Sooo Much Mr. Historian has a hard time getting the important information to us!

I don't think it's strange Edward was so young to fight. To be cast so quickly as Duke and this desperate battle so soon after his father Duke Richard & his brother died is sad yes, but it only made him more pissed & seeking Revenge. From the Vikings & Alfred these young men of privilege did nothing but study some and train constantly. That is All they had to do. Products of the French War meant Every Male child was Taught either Warfare or Clergy. OFCOURSE his friends & relatives (male) were fighting machines waiting on their chance; As eagerly as their Fathers had All been warriors. I think Edward was Ready and at his prime. Lucky yes, but his Family had made sure he & his brothers had The Best training & weapons, armor money could buy & their horses were of the best quality. And it's not surprising that many Young Men Followed him, he's the new young man with the Name & Wealth to change Everything. Good For Him!

Henry 7th wouldn’t want to denigrate Edward 4th because his legitimacy as king is tied to being married to Elizabeth of York. He needed her dynastic influence to run his court. She was raised in a very rich court but she Also knew of the perils of kingships because she spent time hiding from the Lancastrians. When Henry gets his son in 1537 he named him Edward as a nod to his York family ties via his mother and grandfather.

I enjoy the Historian most. Your explanations of the battles are good, although a little cheesy (the underwear & big butt gal for instance) ugggh! BUT...I LOVE the fact that I can View Them In Order Most🌟 Excellent 🌟 Job young sir. So I try to ignore the steps part, which are good if they get Anyone Moving to see England's Wonderful History! Overall 8/10 so Bravo Sir! You should be very proud.

13min in AND still Nothing about a battle? Really you want me to keep watching you receive praise? Not sure I will watch the next episode, which is a shame Because I Like The Historian & I want to hear Him!! Maybe I'll get his book instead.

Glad you're back!

Love Matthew! Thanks!

Thank you! Very happy to get your channel. Bravo!

AT 1:14- But you HAVEN'T let all of them speak, or not much. Mike and Nicola? Please pay attention.

Damn! Let Nicola speak!

ARGHHHH! help! One says the 'impostors' names were not ever used except by Henry VII; one says the names WERE used. Matt explains this?

Absolutely FANTASTIC! THIS is how history should be treated and studied. Opinions of educated experts who offer varying ideas WITH perfectly understandable REASONS for those ideas and opinions. Thank you, very, very much.

All the battles have been documented with the wars of the roses and that was in the 15th century same with world war 1 and 2 but with Ukraine now they aren't any battles being documented, we aren't getting more advanced just more manipulated whilst we are being phased out into robots.

Great video, i'm not sure of the landscape back then in 1460 but when i went up to the castle i don't think you could really see the bridge from sandal castle, it's quite far away so it's hard to imagine the duke could see any men fleeing from the bridge or near the vicinity and ride to their aid.

my 16th great grandfather had a sword ran thru his chest during this battle, afterwards, his widow, my 16th great grandmother married Edward IV

An enjoyable and interesting interview - many thanks.
