I think my surname is from King Hywel 🙂

Don't trust the English chronicles... good hear some Scottish history not taught in Scottish schools 👍

Some of the best sourcing on the platform

Fell asleep. Missed the last half twice 😅

Glentrool not glen tool!!!!

Better watched at 1.75x speed.

Nice to see.

I think Middle Ages in British History ended in 1649, when the Parliamentarians beheaded King Charles I and the Monarchy was abolished. Executed an anointed King is also a sign of challenging a Medieval Dogma. Due to the puritanical rule of the Oliver Cromwell the last traces of feudalism and Medieval Traditions was destroyed . Though King Charles II ruled with a sort of power of an absolute monarchy, he is the first king to practice ruling equally with parliament thus making him the first king of a constitutional monarchy. That is my reason for me to considered 1649 as the End of the English Middle Ages.

King Alfred was the last King of the Anglo Saxons, not ever a King of England. Aethelstan was the first true King of England, Athelstan was crowned King of England in 927 AD and was the grandson of King Alfred the Great.

Descriptions of John could fit Trump.

Fake news existed in the 12th century.

Couldn't Harold have been shot in the eye THEN cut down? He could've survived the initial wound as some back then did, or the adrenaline was keeping him going, then he was cut down shortly after.

King Alfred was never a King of England, according to your video title. It was his ambition and desire to have a united England under one King but he never achieved it. He was the last King of the Anglo Saxons.

Nice sneaky Atun-Shei shout out!

Ugh...even X2 speed cant keep the pace moving along

Im a direct descendant of Hywel Dda, and i just recently found out about Rhodri The Great, wierdly enough im related to Jefferson Davis and Alfred Watkins.... But thats neither here nor there

Why platctgec1812 overture in the background yo the deaths of English monarchs

Great vidio your a nice guy and lovely to watch

I have ancestry traced back pre 1600's, arrested in Canterbury for assaulting the queens special, they were withdrawn. Also in area of cathedral riot in 1200's. Within 14 - 20 % of many . Some titled. According to wikitree. Other side is French/ Welsh.

Bad enough that no future King was named John

I'm glad to have found your channel 👍👍

8:38 When I think of a king snatched too early. A hunting accident or a disease especially if reported in area at the time would be a likely death. Sucks that sources of this time sometimes leave us to speculating the circumstances.

Elizabeth was friendly to Catholics until plots to kill her and put her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne were discovered. After that anyone found hiding Catholic priests or possessing Catholic literature or accoutrements such as rosaries and crucifixes were subjected to being hung, drawn and quartered. Yikes!

You know a video is good when it spends 4 minutes on one of the greatest King's bowel issues

Funny connection, I now live very near Meifod (pronounced 'myvod') and also Pennant Mellangell, and spent many happy times in Menai Bridge visiting my grandparents as a child. One of our favourite walks was along the Belgian Walk to St Tysilio's Church. Some work on pronouncing the Welsh names would be good. Also, at 1:01:23, the name 'Gwynedd' is wrongly spelled as 'Gwyneed' on your map. Thanks for a very detailed and interesting video, however. There are so few videos done on the history of Wales that it's great to see this one helping to redress the balance.

What an interesting video. Must have been loads of research.

Great video dude

Speaking as somebody with Crohn’s Disease, it’s always interesting to find historical figures that may have suffered it too. Shame they didn’t have endoscopes in the 9th century.

I live just down the road from it. When i was about 13/14 the tower almost fell over and had to be underpinned and righted. It’s about a quarter of a mile from where De Montfort was killed, by the battle well at the top of the Rudge estate. Also, within the grounds of the house are Ruins of Evesham Abbey, that were saved the old Abbey site in the town.

I drove past this every Sunday between January and April to get to Prince Henry’s for county training

The arrogance (or dominance) of the Anglo Saxons to call the natives foreigners!

My ancestors from the family "NEW" lived here, and still do. Interesting history for me as I live in New Zealand. The New family had orchards on land given to them for fighting for the King in 1265 I believe. I am fortunate to have visited here a few times. Thank you

Why were these guys fighting? Who benefits.

They don't make buildings like they used to.

Lucky there were no longbowmen!

An outstanding tactical victory for the Scottish despite the odds!

The brits also tried to rebel. Normally, while pretending some whispy girl was leading them. Probably because they were a bunch of turdskin evil normaltrash nikkhkhers.

I found it very appropriate that the narrator had a very strong english accent 👍🏼🇬🇧

#Scotland

I was born in Evesham and still live there. Very interesting history of my town. There is a lot more history of Evesham to tell.

Wales is one of my favourite parts of England ❤

My direct ancestor

You can see it from the road.

As I already said I'm stil here but I want to explain. Where did the Angles who gave England its name come from? Denmark, from the modern Schleswig-Holstein area. The Jutes who are also part of The Anglo-Saxon people also came from Denmark, thats why the part that connects to Germany is called Jutland. Where were the Vikings who came here from? Denmark. The Normans were also descended from Vikings, mainly Danish so it's more like we've just been mixing with cousins.
