I wouldnt necessarily call Queen Margaret a "strong and fierce queen" she was ruthless i will give her that. She was giving out English territories to Scotland for soldiers, and then letting those soldiers loot and r*pe and murder many innocent Englishmen, as long as they were winning her battles. She more or less just cared about herself and her son, and could give a sh*te less about England.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY ANCESTOR ''SIR WALTER BLOUNT'' WAS KILLED-IN-ACTION FIGHTING TO DEFEND KING HENRY 4th, DURING THE BATTLE OF SHREWSBURY IN 1403. THIS FACT WAS REVEALED IN SHAKESPEARE'S HISTORICAL PLAY ''HENRY 4th, PART 1'': DANIEL PAUL VOGLESONG

All about self interest of lords. On both sides including Owain Glyndwr .Dwr(water). Not pronounced Dower..as in flower but Doohr.Dwr. Brilliant video. Thank you.Diolch.

You are quite right about the lords, but sadly wasn’t it ever thus? Thanks for letting me know about the pronunciation of Glyndwr, I did Google it with a few sites and they all pronounced it Dower, shows how good they are, (in fact some of them can’t correctly pronounce French either), do you know of a good site that correctly pronounces Welsh words? I would be very grateful if you do. Glad you liked the video 😉🙏👍

There is never enough attention given to Mary's imprisonment in Sheffield - the longest place of her incarceration - at both Sheffield Castle and Sheffield Manor Lodge. She spent more than 14 years in Sheffield. Why do historians constantly overlook this fact? Some of the best letters written by Mary, and some of her finest examples of embroidery were stitched by her during her time in Sheffield. She also was allowed to ride and go deer hunting, under guard of course, through the adjoining deer park near Sheffield Manor Lodge.

Mary Stuart was done absolutely no favors being married to the future heir of the French Throne and being sent away to live in France at the age of six. She didn’t understand the politics of Scotland or England or who she could trust and no doubt made lots of errors based on what her inner circle was telling her or disregarding their advice because she was the queen.

You know what's disgusting about this? I had to come to KZbin, to learn our history by myself, because High Schools, going as far back as 1995, don't teach English history in School anymore. I have to teach myself my own countries history. I was filling in a job application earlier today. The employer asked for my "Ethnicity". They had White Irish, White Scottish, White Welsh, and then White British. I'm like WTF? Where's White English? Why is my nationality being excluded from job application forms? It actually quite offended me. Am I supposed to be ashamed, because of my heritage? I ended up actually selecting "White Other", because I did not want to be referred to as "White British", because England is NOT entirely Britain. By that rationale, there shouldn't be Scottish, Irish or Welsh either. We should all be British, by that logic. Ask a Scottish, Welsh or Irish person if they see themselves as being "British", see what they say. Yet, I cannot call myself English? And it's people like Alfred the Great who paved the way for England, and Britain, to become the country that it is today.
