I can only imagine what a 3 day old dead body was smelling like. How long did the finding of remains to the DNA conclusion take ?

A REAL KING!

I'm really enjoying the variation in topics. Wonderful story telling as usual!

My great grandfather was wounded 4 times on two different fronts, he was bombed shot and gassed, although the gassing was by his own side, a leaking canister filled a trench he was moving through to mount an assault. The effect was serious enough that he was awarded a gold strip for the event (one of the last awards for succumbing to your own gas, they stopped that shortly after) but not serious enough to stop him being funneled back into that assault two days later, where he was shot for the first time in his left leg, bad enough to see him all the way back to England. After patching him up he was re-badged and sent to Salonika where he was wounded twice more on separate occasions. Finally seeing him in Ireland for a years worth of convalescence at Ballyvonare. And although the army was very good at patching him up and sending him back the front, they were less good at looking after him when he got home. He had to beg for replacement surgical boots and was turned down multiple times. Finally ending up in an asylum in 1924 where spent the remainder of his days and died in in the 1980s. I have never seen a documentary about the men that came home and how they managed/didnt manage. Someone make that documentary please. It was a battle like any other.

There was this joke about the Richard III being so malevolent, that he took up two parking spaces.

Sounds like Richard had balls big as church bells

At least this king was man enough to stand with his troops and face battle unlike the cowards of today that command from the safety being hundreds if not thousands of miles away leading men to their deaths. Much respect for the kings of the past.

Even if he was a dick, no pun intended, lol, we can't deny he was a warrior.

Мой дед Абраменков Виктор Васильевич 1909 г.р уроженец Смоленской обл. Монастырщинского района деревни Райовка начал войну мобилизованным в красную армию в войне с "белофиннами" 1939 году и окончив её в Берлине 1945 г с фашисткой германией, расписавшись на стенах рейхстага. За период войны родная деревня, а также жена и двое детей находились под фашисткой оккупации с июля 1941 года по сентябрь 1943 года. За период оккупации жена с маленькими детьми проживали в землянке. Голод износилование и расстрелы местных жителей мы помним хорошо. По поводу грабежа советскими солдатами, мой дед после войны кроме старого "сидора" и многочисленных ранений больше ничего не принёс. В советской армии за мародерство расстреливали. Не надо будить медведя пока он спит в своей берлоги. Есть тысяча способов медведя из берлоги выманить, но нет ни одного, чтобы его обратно заманить. Русские трижды брали Берлин, неужели придется брать и в четвёртый раз?

Thank you for making this video. It's perfect, with the use of eyewitness accounts, photos and following in the exact footsteps, seeing the scene as Bill Callaghan's voice talked us through the final moments, was just unbelievable. After watching your video on the Wormhoudt massacre, it was a nice surprise to learn that the officer responsible in this case was tracked down and given his punishment. One of my great uncles fought in that area, we don't know where exactly and I doubt we ever will, but he took a bullet in the head and was knocked out. His mates left him for dead, understandably so. He came to later and to cut the story short, spent just enough time hiding in a local farm to return to England and rejoin his unit in time for D Day. Just one story of those times. I do wonder if it was a sense of necessity which drove the SS to shoot prisoners. Did they really not have the means, were their lines so stretched, that they could not afford to even leave prisoners behind for follow - up units. It's a familiar old story on all sides of wars from the past, but I can't believe that was actually the case here. Maybe it was because the SS had never taken a hiding before, and they didn't take it well. Who knows. I would like to know what that SS officer said in his trial.

In 1950 Alan Moorhead visited Monte Casino, which had one telephone, not a single flushing toilet, people living underground, and peculiarly the women didn’t wash their hair, ever. It was a wasteland of uneducated backwardness and extraordinary poverty that he wrote of in his book, The Villa Diana.

Super interessant danke. Was mich etwas irritiert ist, das tamtam mit der Beisetzung. Als ware er ein Held gewesen.

Evidence in an old document has since revealed that his nephews were exiled in France . And they raised an army to regain the throne that failed

Too bad the Princes in the tower were afforded a funeral.

According to many sources of the day Richard was popular. I don't think we can take Shakespeare's word on anything

It is always said that Shakespeare villianised Richard III, but it was Tudor propaganda that started this years before Shakespeare. It was in Henry VII best interests to have Richard III seen as the evildoer. Shakespeare’s story telling aided in giving Richard III horns and a tail…

The Lost King (2022) is a movie about a amateur historian (Philippa Langley) that figures out where Richard is buried. I don't know how accurate it is but it's interesting to watch.

As a Turk living in Australia since 1979 , I must say the Turks honoured the Anzac’s but it’s sad to see the racist insults of some Aussie’s special the feral Queenslanders

Moral of the story, if you can’t point to a county on the map then don’t invade it!

There’s such a sort of whimsical character to the AEF that I love. We Americans were there to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And they ran out of bubble gum.

Were any members of the current Royal Family in attendance at Richard's long-overdue funeral?

Von luck wrote about this battle, and others. We should try and record and document all of the actions that occurred not so long ago,

They didn’t try they succeeded fleeing 100%

why did they hit the beach with all those cliff top gun emplacements still intact? There was enough shipborne and airborne fire power to pulverize them but it wasn't done and 100s of men paid with their lives. They sent over bombers at high altitude that didn't get within 1/4 mile of those defenses and that was it. They learned this lesson at Dieppe in 1942 yet it seems it was then forgotten. And it's not like they didn't have the means to take them out. There were 100s of rocket firing fighter bombers in the air. So all those mg42s were just waiting. It's kind of a disgrace and historians only talk about heroism and sacrifice, not the fact that it should never have happened.

I almost stopped watching this on the false assertion that Richard killed his nephews. This leaves me uncertain of the accuracy of the rest. I prefer some of the other videos on this subject, although the battle reconstructions are interesting.

The production of this documentary is superb - I haven't seen anything quite like it. I only wish it was three times as long!

I’m surprised that they thought that they could hit a bridge with a V2. It would have been just as likely to sit and hope that a meteor struck the bridge.

Rash move. He rolled the dice with his life, and they came up snake eyes. Unhorsed, unhelmed, on his knees, in the mire, his head stoved in and his *ss stabbed, so easily ends a King. Dumped in a pit and forgotten. The inglorious end of a Bloody dynasty. Dug out of a parking lot.

would love to watch more videos of the more ancient battles like this one rather than the modern ones. Enjoyed this a lot, thank you!

Интересная тема, необходимая для изучения и понимания прошлого, но лучше бы и на русском языке преподать данный Материал. Главный древний герой Человек, наш предок!!! 😂😂🎉

These men all fought and for Jewish Sodomidic Revelation! And you all don't even know!!!

Thanks for bringing that to us very informative.

Muy interesante la historia medieval

Waiting for the Ricardo cultists to turn up and claim he didn't murder his nephews, despite him having the means and motive, and summarily executing anyone who he thought would oppose his usurpation. No no he was a noble misunderstood man!! And his nephews vanished by magic or someone else murdered them!! Richard shat himself that he'd lose all influence and position because the boys were enmeshed with their mother's family, and it would be them who would gain positions of power. And that's all it took Richard was a personally brave, and competent commander but he was also ruthless. He killed 2 kids for the crown and there's a moral outrage because of it, only because they were born with royal silver spoons in their ass. How many youngsters of peasant folk do you think he would slay for power. The answer is all of them.

These videos are brilliant

Hard to know the reality of what these people were really like as character assassination was fallback position No.1 in order to legitimise oneself, and one's actions. All accounts confirm that he died like a man, fighting at the front of his own battle, and going down fighting whilst surrounded by his enemies.

Auch mein Großvater hat an der Somme gekämpft, allerdings auf der deutschen Seite und das als 19 jähriger Bub, unfassbar ! Er ist in französische Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten (Guerigny) und bei einem Fluchtversuch mit einem Lungendurchschuss gestoppt worden. Der „Verrat“ einer französischen Oma der zum Scheitern der Flucht geführt hat ist von Ihm nur mit den Worten „Das ist schon in Ordnung, was sollte die arme Frau denn machen?“ entschuldigt worden. Bei all diesen Geschichten frage ich mich immer wieder: „Warum lernen wir nicht daraus, NIE WIEDER heißt NIE WIEDER ! Ich habe meinen Opa nie kennengelernt, er ist fast auf den Tag genau 20Jahre vor meiner Geburt an einer Lungenentzündung gestorben, 2.Weltkrieg, Deutschland bekam kein Penicillin, sein Todesurteil. So hat jede Familie ihre Geschichten, aber wofür wenn wir nicht daraus lernen?

My great uncle fought in North Africa, including Alamein, but the the medal he was most proud of was from the Italian campaign. He talked a lot about Africa, but rarely about Italy; the memories were too raw. The respect he gained at Cassino for the Gurkhas and the Poles lasted a lifetime.

Can you imagine realizing you parked your car over a King? 🤯

Uma das descobertas mais importantes para a Inglaterra, não para o mundo

When I visited England a few years ago I visited Richard111 tomb. It was so moving, made me cry. I was always an admirer of his because he was well beloved in the north and was a wise lawmaker.

18:41 worth noting that the research was largely done by a lay fan of Richard, not the university originally.

The roundel dagger cranial injury is I believe incorrect. The evidence shows that he was killed minus his helmet the squarish puncture on the skull is attributed to a roundel dagger. The point at the back of a halberd is also square I propose that this part of the halberd was used to strike Richards helmet with enough force to piece the helmet and cranium forcing the helmet to be removed either by the direct force or removal by the wearer.

Lol! The War of the Roses was the distant inspiration for GOT!

Well done, a great video. Any idea why the OS maps still show the original site people thought the battle was fought on?

Lol! The War of the Roses was the distant inspiration for GOT!

I read a book, I think written by Whittlesey (I am not certain of that)...a long time ago, when I was a kid. (The book was titled : The Lost Battalion). Anyway, it was awe-inspiring. A tremendous testament to the resilience of man - when placed in an almost hopeless situation.

The Battle of Bosworth Car-park.
