John was an idiot. Heritage does not bestow ability. Key weakness in monarchy.

Edward the Black Prince wasn't called that in his lifetime, but by the English Renaissance, there's evidence (including Shakespeare) they were calling him that. Mostly it was because he was absolutely brutal in pursuit of France. But his personal "peacetime" arms were argent ostrich feathers on a sable field, and according to Tuchman, he was known for wearing black a lot, which was kinda cutting edge for the upper classes of the day, but I haven't seen that mentioned elsewhere: it's definitely plausible, as the Black Death opened up a better class of fabric for townsfolk, driving the nobility to a more understated aesthetic, which persists to this day.

As much as John was not a good king, I agree, but he was not necessarily the worst either. Just look at what he inherited from his brother.

It has far reaching implications for the western world. We got the Magna Carta out of king John of England. There would be no usa as it is today without this first step. English liberalism and enlightenment is considerably better than the French alternative too. What republic are they on now? Sixth re-do?

My own 19th great grandfather fought along with William1 and his own grandson would go on to become a Templar. Our CoA is 1 of the original 13 CoA that still looks down on every future King and Queen to be crowned at Westminster Abby. DeLacy still lives across the world. And we still honor our Lord God and Crown and Country. Loyalty is the heart of our family.

Trying to figure out why my father's ancestors that were said to have come from Norway around 900-1000 a.d. had a crest from the house of Kent? Plus record of the same family in Yorkshire around 1030 a.d. Then my ancestor before America on same line came from Somerset. Farmers and ship captains in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

They weren't native, they had only been in England for a few hundred years

Nothing. That's how much of the fight that happened at Battle went into GOT. It was based on the Cousin's War between York and Lancaster about a thousand years later.

He was black

You are way, way off. Historians put the start of the so-called "Wars of the Roses" (never called that at the time or for a long period after) in 1399 when HENRY IV deposed his cousin RICHARD II. Henry's father was John of Gaunt, son of Edward III, and he deposed his cousin after being exiled and then deprived of his inheritance after his father's death. Henry IV faced rebellions throughout his 14 year reign and his son, HENRY V only had a brief reign before dying of dissentery to be replaced by his 6 month old son, HENRY VI. It was Henry VI's weakness that made an opening for the House of York, who were championed by Richard, Earl of Warwick, known as "The Kingmaker". The first Edward of York was killed in battle and it was his 18 year old son who eventually deposed Henry VI to become Edward IV. Briefly deposed when Warwick switched sides, Edward IV regained the throne to reign until 1483, when his death should have led to his son, the elder of the "Princes in the Tower" to becoming Edward V, but their uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester, took him into custody and had himself crowned, becoming Richard III. His reign only lasted for 2 years before he was challenged by a distant cousin, Henry Tudor, whose shaky claim to the throne was through his mother, Margaret Beaufort. Henry landed with an army from exile in Brittany and fought Richard III at Bosworth, beating him to claim the throne and become Henry VII. He married Elizabeth of York, oldest daughter of Edward IV, thus combining the houses of York and Lancaster, the symbol of their union being the "Tudor Rose" which is white and red, and the House of Tudor reigned for the next 118 years. In GoT the two houses that are the equivalent are LANNISTER/Baratheon (Lancaster) and TARGARYEN (York) - the House of STARK is the equivalent of the House of TUDOR.

So, shit happens.

Trash short

That name came out from torture

What a bloody name 😂

I must have missed the part where Robb Stark gets fat and parties all the time ✌️

Typical yank Ptsd.

Henry was a pyschotic mass killer ffs

All in the name of God because he wanted to be a 'knight" or convert people into Christianity and help highlight leprosy sufferes xx

It makes me laugh when Catholics act as the poor persecuted minority when they were literally the established order for centuries, persecuting before, during and after the reformation. Where do you think Protestants learnt it from? They literally have 'protest' in their name, as they are protesting against the brutality, corruption and elitism of the Catholic church. It's safe to say that England benefitted from it greatly, no longer under the shackles of a Pope who could be bought and blackmailed by others. It also led to Bibles in English rather than just Latin, allowing the poor and lower classes to read their own religion and not have to rely on their rich masters. The Church of England is tolerant to both sides nowadays but there's reason a Catholic is still not allowed to be monarch, the Pope shouldn't have influence in the running of another country.

There’s so much to say about Mary. Her achievements are so often overlooked

against all odds adn dominence and power catholicism survivre in England and in all countrys with persecutions

Very interesting, as usual on this channel. England had it's first Queen Regnant, but was Mary the first ruling queen in all of western Europe / Europe as well? The only person I can think of, and am not sure, is Queen Isabella of Spain who I think may have reigned with her husband Ferdinand at the time they sent Christopher Columbus on his voyages. If anyone can enlighten me that would be kewl.

Richard III was a murderous tyrant. He murdered Henry VI, and murdered his own nephews to seize the throne. Furthermore, just as Shakespeare depicted him, he did indeed have a severely curved spine. It doesn't matter what he did during his reign. Murdering his nephews is utterly irredeemable.

Protestants were persecuted too. Why didn't they know that either one is okay? Why did the government not see that it wasn't their duty to control religion? The Catholic Church was way too strong and powerful and no one should have that much power

I kind of think it went both ways. No, I know it went both ways. Not to mention that my French Huguenot ancestors had to flee France to the Netherlands and England so they wouldn't end up massacred. Time to let the religious arrogance, on all sides, go!

My most favouritest former king of England of England . Rip Richard 111 x

No mystery as they found the two skeletons about 20 or 30 years ago

Good video thanks. (Is the mediaeval period 1066 - 1485, or does it start or end earlier or later?)

Edward ll was a very unlucky king. His overbearing father was a cruel man and as Edward was a bit of a softie they clashed often. Also , because if the homosexual feelings he had for Piers Gaveston there was trouble with his wife. He was never understood, but his advisers were also at fault.

Religion has killed more than illness or war ever x

Why is pycel there

Thank you for the strong faith of our catholic martyrs they stand for love and truth

I loved the music at the end. 🐾

congrats for the channel and the videos, great content

I also drink me ale. Morning noon night. Hail to the king!!

I'm a Viking. We drank mead 💪🏿💪🏿🪓🛡🗡⚔️💪🏿💪🏿

Interesting.. what I heard is that they drank a beer in the morning for breakfast but it was thick almost like oatmeal and provided alot of nutrition and sustenance..and.also.gave them a.good buzz to.get through their filthy grueling day to day miserable lives. Sure is nice.to be alive today. Great video thanks!

brother your short is good but use esay word so people can understand it properly
