[@josephcarmody3248]

Though Richard I was a Chad, when he was crowned he basically left England for milk and cigarettes and spent his time on crusades and lived in France.

[@BBeowulf]

@@josephcarmody3248 ​ Richard was a Chad but Longshanks is *THE* GigaChad and one of the first truly English kings of the Plantagenet dynasty. One of the greatest warrior kings ever imo. A classical warrior-poet who had a romantic side but was absolutely brutal to his enemies. A giant of his time figuratively and literally with his 6’2 frame that he actually scared a bishop to death. He saved a disastrous crusade from ending before it even began due to incompetence and bad luck with the other armies and still managed to win some remarkable victories. This is also despite surviving an assassination attempt in his sleep, receiving multiple stab wounds and then killing his assailant. Dominated the French, Welsh and Scottish, built some of the greatest medieval castles and built them everywhere and reformed the armies. He was also the utmost gentleman when it came to the fairer sex too. Read up what he did to Simon de Monfort for talking bad about his mother and he had two of the greatest and well known romances in history with his two wives with love letters that survive to this day. The second of which refused to remarry after his death despite only being in her 20s “because no other man could replace him”. He’s very much like a fictional hero in my eyes and epitomises everything that makes a great man.

Shouldn't Edward I be Edward the Confessor? He was king of England or at least King of the Angles and Saxons and I believe he was also called Kiny of the Land of the Angles or Angle Land or something similar.

[@mrdarren1045]

After the norman conquest the usurpers wanted us to forget our anglo Saxon history so they pretended anything before them didn't exist. The usurpers have carried this lie to the present day.

[@cambs0181]

When the Normans took over the country in 1066, the entire Saxon ruling was kicked out. Everything was changed, William took lands and divided it up between his barons to rule over. They built castles to lord over the people, who's decendents still occupy today as the modern British aristocracy. They recorded the assests of the entire kingdom in a book called the doomsday book to understand the value of the country. England also was taken out of the Scandinavian culture and moved into the circle of French culture. Basically what I am saying is they reinvented the country, everything before that was wiped out. The monarchy was the same, so with the linage of the monarchs of England, it will always begin with William 1st. Though many English nationalists will argue that it was Alfred.

Edward I "Longshanks", King of England is my 18th great grandfather.

[@ronaldreagan5535]

His father was of Norman/Anjou (Plantagenets -French) and his mother was from the Provence region of France. The Norman dynasty ruling England starting with William the Conqueror in 1066 would remain French for many centuries. These Plantagenet -Norman kings only spoke French in court and maintained strong links with the ‘old’ country across the Channel.

[@mrdarren1045]

The old country would be in Scandinavia. By 1066 the Normans had only been in France for 150 years

[@BBeowulf]

This had already changed by the time of Longshanks. He’s considered one of the first truly English kings after William the Conqueror took over. He was one of the first Plantagenets to use English as his native tongue too.

[@vatsal7640]

Actually Edward did speak English. " Edward " being a anglo saxon name shows that plantagenet dynasty was changing from French to English.

Looks like they went to counting from before 1066. It all can be very confusing. Even when you have a map. Knute II of Denmark was king of England at the same time. His younger son, Harald (Harefoot), was next. After 4-5 years, Harald's older half- brother became king. Harthaknute was followed by HIS older half-brother, Edward the Confessor. Harthaknute and Edward were the maternal nephews of Norman Duke William I. Wm. I was the grandfather of Wm. II AKA Wm. I of England.@@vilxxblack2472

By Edward's time, truth be told, they might've had more Southern French/Occitan/Catalan in their stock. Edward was by most accounts, pretty swarthy. Empress Matilda, was only like 12.5 percent English through her grandmother Margaret, jury's pretty much still out as to whether her other half was Russian or Hungarian.

[@dontgivamonkeyz]

Neither of those two people were Celtic they were both of Norman descent, Robert De Bruce name kind of gives his lineage away and Wallace was most likely Norman if not Norman Welsh. In fact both their families came across with William the conqueror in 1066 and helped William to conquer England and the de Bruce Family are given land in England stolen from the people. Ultimately all this is the start of over 300 years of Norman/Plantagenet rule in England that spills over the rest of the British isles. So ironically those two famous Scottish heroes own ancestors sowed the seeds of the coming wars between Scotland and England.

Well many historians today still debate about William Wallace, they don't really know much about his background. Most believe that he was a minor Lord with some land and others believe that he could of been a mercenary in Longshanks army against Wales. On top of that the people would not had much of an opinion, Bruce and Longshanks had their people tied to lands in a feudal system that existed all over Europe of the time, they would not of been any difference to the subjects, nor would they of had been enough education to create a political opinion in such matters as leadership, like you would have with people today in modern democracies. So to conclude, I don't know how you believe that because you have a relation to people who lived 800 years ago (Which many millions of people would have today) you knew how these people lived and how they viewed the overlords?

Historical documents reveal Edward the first’s son, Edward the second was gay. Edward the second married a French princess for political purposes. The French Princess, Isabella of France, had an affair with William Wallace, bearing the future King of England.

Well, this *was* the 1300s; the modern French pronunciations largely hadn't been invented yet (neither English nor French bore much resemblance to its modern-day counterpart. The Canterbury Tales was written 3 generations after this and it is only barely comprehensible to English-speakers who aren't familiar w/ Middle English). People also didn't understand their names the way we do today; spelling was not set in stone for them. William Shakespeare (who lived fairly close to the 'modern era) spelled his name differently in each of the surviving signatures we have of his. Evidently, he did not prefer a set spelling. So long as the pronunciation was more-or-less correct, then it was a valid spelling. There were two 'lingua francas' of his time among the rich and powerful; Latin for written communication & French for spoken communication. French would also have been used for letters and poetry. You can bet that Edward Longshanks & his wives were speaking French at court (tho. unlike prior Norman kings, Longshanks probably did know *some* English). So, basically, everyone speaks French and nobody cares how their name is spelled. Later, a historical tradition develops, and these people happen to be of interest to primarily British historians (since English Royal history is part of English history no matter what language they spoke). Since these histories are done in the vernacular & Latin's lost a lot of its popularity, modernized English forms (or close approximations of them) would have taken precedence at this time if not earlier, b/c nobody wants to learn 1000 variants of the same name just to figure out who half of these people are. I, personally, don't have a problem w/ it, b/c it makes my life easier & nobody at the time cared how their name was spelled anyway.

Homage is an English word. It's not a loanword. You put the stress on the right part of the word, but you drop the H. We say it with the H in English, pay homage, easy. Not "bend the knee", pay homage, pledge fealty, etc. 16:40 "...had previously *forbidden" Past tense, past participle, forbade. 17:26 "...who is controlling the area." So Edward Longshanks had the line of castles Whitewashed on the walls, with red crosses on the white backgrounds, as flags of England that could be seen from miles around.

Wasn't it Edward I the King who hated the Jewish moneylenders, he had offered them an island of their own. Gathering a majority of the Jewish people he even provided the ships to take them to the island. But un knowingly to them while on the island the tide came in with them drowning. Was this true or a myth? I would really like to know. Thank you, I truly like the way you present your subjects and how you always put in information that other Historians leave out. Thank you, 👍

Edward The 1st was a cruel anti Semite like many Medival Monarchs who oppressed Jewish people and eventually expelled them from England in 1290 and they would not be able to return to England until the 1650s. Edward The 1st deserves to be remembered as a villain due to this reason.

Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness… God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death. God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin. He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕
