The marriage of Arthur and Katherine was mroe than an aliance with Spain. Katherine was descended from the legitimate line from John of Gaunt. Henry VII was the son of a Chamber POt Boy and a woman who was married to Henry V for a year or so. His mother was descended from a delegitimised line. With the instability fo the last 100 years Henry VII wanted to shore up his and his descendents claim to the throne, so marrying Katherine was important.

Error: Eduard from Tudor is Eduard VI not IV

Reference to Alfred but it’s not so great and the decline of Rome during the war with Mexico and the United states 1846 in opposition to what was considered the “unjust war”: Have the histories of the ruin of Greek and Roman liberty consequent on such extensions of empire by sword no lesson for us? Many men have achieved the title and have been called great, but most have been great in crime and blood; an Alexander the Great , a Pompey the great , an Alfred the great , a Peter , a Caesar, a Herod, a Louis, a Henry, a Frederic, a Charles, a Bonaparte, a Charlemagne , a Houston. They were great in many things ; great, perhaps, in ability, great in resolution of will, great in means of influence, and striking in their results; but little in the elements of a truly great character; little in honesty, in truth, in love, mean, selfish, crafty, cruel, and implacable. They have been willing to sacrifice any amount of human life or happiness, to secure their end, and be accounted the greatest. But how poor the honor, how blood-stained the glory! How many death-pangs it has taken to refine their thrill of pleasure, how many tears to water their garlands of victory, how much human gore to dye their purple robes of royalty! What curses have loaded their names on earth, what awful memories must haunt them in the world of spirits! It was when the Pretorian Guards of Rome bore the emperor into office by their despotic will, that the mistress of nations began to decline. And when, in any nation, the glorious gifts of Christian statesmanship, and ripe experience, and large converse among men, and a life-time of civil services to one's country and the world, are postponed and set aside for “the conquering hero," the Genius of rational, heaven-descended Liberty is already meditating her departure to some more congenial clime. The great men in these United States, who are they ? Are they the poets who are striking the finest chords of the celestial lyre, and awakening, by strains of sublimity that will never die, the tastes and aspirations and immortal energies of men of all generations ? Are they the artists who are shaping the marble into beauty, and giving life to the canvas, and thus refining and elevating the soul of the world? Are they the orators who have plead for liberty with angelic tongue, and urged the infinite concerns of religion with a melting persuasion? Are they the princely merchants who have given their tens of thousands of dollars to the cause of education, and the welfare of a hundred ages to come? Are they the retired and humble scholars, who, poor and unnoted by the world, trim the lamp of learning, decipher the meaning of life, unroll the map of antiquity, and extract the wisdom of libraries, and the history of empires gone? No; our great men are not poets, nor philosophers, nor philanthropists, nor artists, nor judges, nor jurists, nor statesmen. Sad day is it for humanity, when the heroes are the destroyers, and hosaunas are sung over ruined cities and sinking nations, to those whose weapons are not love and truth, but fire and sword ! We want no more of those Great ones, we want the truly great. We want civilians, not swordsmen; Catos, not Caesars, nor Syllas at the head of Christendom, Christian American and nations. We must show them how much greater in reality Jesus, the well-beloved of the Father, was in washing his disciples' feet, than Xerxes riding forth at the head of his army to lay waste the fairest countries with fire and sword, Jesus dying in ignominy on the cross, than Caesar making a triumphal procession into Rome with the spoils and captives of vanquished kingdoms. 'They have wandered back into the desolated Pantheon, and there, amongst the Polytheistic relics of that " pale mother of dead empires," they have found a God whom these Romans, centuries gone by, baptized, "Terminus". We have seen the end of him and his empire. Whoever would know the further fate of the Roman Diety, so recently taken under the bosom of American Democracy, may find ample gratification of his curiosity, in the luminous pages of the historical accounts of "Gibbons Decline and Fall of Rome". For What Rome was in her decline, America was in her infancy! Such will find that Rome thought as you now think, it was her destiny to conquer and divide nations, and no doubt she sometimes says as you do now "I will conquer a peace!". And where now is she, the once omnipotent Rome, Mistress of the World? And it needs no prophet's eye to read, in the future, the impartial condemnation of history. There we shall be defeated, without doubt and without help, No matter however successful we may be in blowing up Mexican cities and dispersing Mexican armies! Sermons, which are now before us, were preached both on the Rio Grande, and at the city of Mexico before the troops, justifying the war, talking largely of the " Anglo Saxon destiny." Comparing the progress of the American arms with the entrance of the children of Israel into the land of Canaan, and giving the sanctions and benedictions of Christianity to the awful wrongs and barbarities of one of the most cruel, sanguinary, and demoralizing wars on record!" But if the period ever arrives to when the second largest republic on earth, Mexico, and by far the most hopeful and consistent one besides our own is blotted out of the record of nations and becomes the “Poland of the west” we shall be condemned in the eyes of heaven and our own as authors to such tremendous a catastrophe! - From the War with Mexico Reviewed, Abiel Abbott Livermore 1845, American Peace Society

I was wondering about the history about battlefield Britain

And then in my story when King John known as big bad king John says how bad the Prime Minister signed the truth to Chancellor It’s time Britain and Germany suffered. What a horrible king he was.

Johnson Kimberly Perez Cynthia Taylor Eric

So he was the king at 1 yrs old?

The county of Blois is on a very wrong place of the French map, it was West of Orleans on the Loire. Good video however.

Maud aka Empress Matilda was also Queen of Italy and Germany. They should've crowned her and drowned Stephen.

Abraham Knoll

Henry The Great

William the *Bastard

King johns sperm are current day presidents

If Harold Godwinson had won the Battle of Hastings he could have been remembered for one of the greatest military achievements in the Early Medieval period.

Queen elizabeth II died 1926-2022

Search islam its the best religion that can give relief

"....longest serving monarch in history." That is Louis XIV of France - 72 years. He did have a head start beginning his reign when he was 5 years old.

Lady Jane Gray?

I absolutely love these videos. However, why did Catherine of Aragon change appearance between the Henry VII video and this one?

Rare instance of getting the point right on the anecdote of Cnut the Great and the tide. 👍

Never trust prodos.

There is no current throne of England, there’s a throne of Great Britain.

😮.

Richard, the coward..sent back on a donkey by Saladin the great

Absolutely loving this series. Thank you for all of the hard work!

I’m hooked and awaiting the next video on Edward VI.

You should go back to school. Henry the forth was not a Plantagenet king, he was Lancastrian. He was the one who brought the Lancastrians into power. Then his son kicked the French and won the French crown, but he died young, leaving his infant son to be crowned. Who apparently took after his French Grandfather mentally. Thus the war of the Roses began. I'm a Yank, (American) and even I know this. But apparently you forgot to read that part of the British History.

Henry IV vibing in the end tho 💀 Love it

Richard II was in Ireland with his army when Bolingbroke returned from France. And with many of the Barons joining Bolingbroke they headed West to Meet Richard when he returned. There was no fighting, Richard knew he didn't have the army to face his cousin. He was arrested and taking to London and placed under guard in the Tower. He was then tried and found guilty and forced to give up the crown. His cousin then had him moved to another castle in the North. Where Richard died, either smothered or starved to death, no one knows.

Stephen the Magnanimus (iykyk)

One of the many What Ifs I think about is what if Henry V had lived a long life. First thing I wonder is would France be part of the UK? And yeah, I wonder if Henry VI actually becomes a good king and not a disaster, and no Wars of the Roses, no Tudors, maybe no Stuarts, etc. That’s a parallel universe I’d love to check out.

Imagine what could have been if he'd lived longer.

Charles III Has a thing for Rottweilers

Where's King Edward VI its been 6 months

Who is here in 2024

1135

and how many were actually "english"? and angleland/engla land was not recorded as a name for the country until cnut or thereabouts so those named earlier were not truly "kings of england". just kings of kingdoms within territory that is now england ....wessex, mercia, anglia etc

I meeaannn… so his dad was gay and seemingly got a lot of sh*t for it so he comes in and makes the antiquated standards of chivalry (at least for gay men… why should we have to do that) and then kinda forces men to battle (again seems like they didn’t treat gay men so well so why should we have to fight for a country like that ?) idk seems like ick to me but like how he got revenge on the guy that did that to his father at least even though it was more for him 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great video, very straight forward and easy. Please make more videos like this

This is an amazing series

Disliked for the generalization about modern journalists
