Can i ask who produced this armour? And how much did it generally cost to reproduce with modern standards

Did not realize how much padding is between the knight and the armor.

Such a great upload thanks Alex ❤ for all us girls who think of knights in shining armour 😂

Great video - always a pleasure to see Mitch's armour.

Great work everyone!

That's a very nice looking suit of armor! Very well made! Did they have all the hinges and buckles back then?

At this point therapy is cheaper

Thanks for this. I had not appreciated that the Dissolution would inevitably impact adversely upon the large-scale (and immensely profitable) production of wool by areas such as Lincolnshire and East Anglia and so was surprised to learn that a spin-off of this was a rise in wool imports from the Continent. We had been optimising the use of large open flat lands in an era of inefficient arable agricultural techniques and practices: but where did the continental Lowlanders get their wool from? Clearly not their waterlogged and very urbanised parts of NW Europe...

I don't understand, what shows the map at the beginning.

Do I good understand that whole this topic speaks about the time of crusades?

So proud to be a Norfolk 'boy'.... and we speak the same language. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. We are visiting from Oregon, USA, and visited Old Sarum two days ago. I've been interested in it for years now, and read some about it, and listened to the audiobook of "Sarum" by Edward Rutherford. Wonderful book, and apparently well-researched, but a work of fiction nonetheless. Could you point to some sources for the Roman seige and conquest of the Sarum hillfort? In the novel, it was surrendered by an ambitious young chieftain looking to ingratiate himself with the Romans, but that's just fiction. Was there a battle here, or did the Romans defeat the Celts in another place and then set up shop nearby? What is the evidence of Roman occupation there?

What year is the map at the beginning of the podcast from?

Nothing more satisfying than throwing things. My friends teenage son and I who use slings to throw tennis balls for the dog to fetch, just watched this with the same awe as a monkey seeing a magic trick.

Any by Trader Vic's? I saw a wear wolf there once, drinking a Pina Colada! Oh and his hair was perfect!

As an American this stuff is just fairy tale. Absolutely amazing.

Good video. Thanks.

You might want to do a follow up. Although the magnificent Abbey still lies in ruins, Pilgrimage to Walsingham was revived in the early 20th Century by Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. Check this video for snapshot of the 2024 pilgrimage - I was there, a few thousand people, hundreds of priests - one of them is me! The Anglican Shrine, opposite the Abbey, was built in the 1930s, and at is heart is a reconstructed Holy House of Our Lady of Walsingham. The Roman Catholic Shrine is the Slipper Chapel, a mile outside the village. May the prayers of Blessed Mary the Mother of God, Our Lady of Walsingham, bring unity for the Church, the conversion of England, restoration of the sick, consolation for the afflicted, repentance of sinners, peace to the departed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnbMfWSCqbxmaLs

No potatoes?

Thank you. Fascinating.

Hey Alex 😊 great informative and interesting skit .❤ If only Baldric had been available for ❤a cameo 😮😅

Very interesting. I always wondered what pottage is, now I know. May I ask where you filmed this please?

So, without the Romans, we'd pretty much just have turnips and peas!

I love gabbage

I liked this presentation a lot. Quite nicely done. Only wish the photography followed in sinc with the narration story.

Richard I was not a terrible King, nor was he a warmonger. It was not his fault that Saladin seized Jerusalem, which meant he felt duty-bound to go on Crusade, nor was it his fault that the French King took advantage of Richard’s imprisonment in Germany to seize the English territories in France, which Richard then had to fight to get back. He always preferred negotiation to fighting, as in his dealings with the Scots and Welsh, which succeeded in keeping England safe from their attacks. He refused to hand over Northumberland to the Scots, but did so tactfully. He always chose exceptionally able men to run England in his absence, and always kept a close eye on them. He built the naval base at Portsmouth, improved English military training, founded the office of Coroner, and standardised weights and measures to ensure fair trading. The English chroniclers who lived under him were not uncritical in their admiration, nevertheless they saw him as a good King, a great one in fact.

That opening blast of sound really turns me off: totally the opposite of the listening experience the follows. Jarring.

It´s not really a guide to Tewkesbury, but a guide to you. I wanted to hear and show items to my group about the festival, but mostly i hear " I " in every sentence. A very little narcissistic.

Would be far better without the background music.Otherwise it was very interesting.

So amazing ❤

Absolutely logical - saving money and time. An excellent assessment.

I'll be honest, I went round it and didn't see half of the things you mentioned.....and The Victory is better 😉

Truly awesome upload im a lord Byron enthusiast. How can anyone whos described as 'mad bad and dangerous to know' not be interesting lol xx

❤ great upload Alex I really enjoy your stuff and I like your voice. It could also be your a part time knight in shining armour 😅😅😊

3:09 A President being involved would be unprecedented. ;-)

Cool

We should really use that treasure to educate the indigenous people of the americas about why their ancestors were totaly screwed iver by the Europeans.

Really nice! It seems to me that it would be possible to pass a ring of chainmail through the two holes in the middle, rivet it closed and tie the leather strips through this ring so that they remain under the plate. That will probably make them impossible to untie but it seems to me it's a much more reliable connection.

Good that you pronounce Norwich correctly as 'Norridge' and not 'Norrich' as many folk do, even the locals.

so much stuff will get lost. Colombia un unbelivabley corrupt. every heavy hitter involved will en up with some nice keepsakes to adorn their house.

16 billion of gold on a ship come on
