@@sentinal2343 well maybe History is divisive . . . but sports teams are moreso. . . and team spirit is heavily promoted.

[@howardking3601]

Really good! I can visualize the geography and topography as well as keep track of the progress of the war. So much better than reading about it. Kudos!

[@ukporkpie7829]

Love the fact that this channel brings to life how the "war" was made up of so many battles. Not a simple, smooth single fight....must've been such a tiring time. Would be interesting to know how the "average person " lived through all of this time. That sort of history is probably not recorded. Arguments in the tavern. In the fields. Among families. Fights been villages or gangs. There are always mini borders or influential people who don't fit the general recording of history

[@dominicguye8058]

We know more about that than many other wars

[@ThatGuyE1M1]

Have you read the book "The English Civil War: A People's History" by Diane Purkiss? That may be what you are looking for. She weaves together stories from letters, journals, and other primary sources to paint a picture of what it was like to live through this period.

[@thissanchezisdirty]

I cant stress the importance of this and so many channels like this. I have always loved history since middle school. Then when smart phones came out and everyone saw infinite ways to connect to me offered freedom to explore any historical topic. Have I always been the best watcher of these channels? No but because I was too focused on me and my problems. I forgot that problems as far back as the first cave people. My life will not be defined by the problems of my time, mainly it isn't as bad as the past. We have flushing toilets and dont die on average at 30, it is not all bad. So now im quiting my corporate job, maybe not today or tomorrow but one day I am going to work at a museum and hopefully one day be a librarian. I want to teach ppl about the past as you have. Going to make a podcast talking about the moments that created ripples through time and space. Thank you...keep doing what you are doing 🙌 👏 it may have saved my life.

Would love to see a series about King Philip's War in North America in the 17th century, it's a lesser known conflict in British and American History

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

I completely agree with you on that but I would also love to see 5 other lesser known conflicts that were part of British and American history in chronological order is King Willams war which was the North American theater of the nine years war and it’s also known as the first inter colonial war, after king Willams war comes queen Anne’s war which is the North American theater of the war of Spanish succession, next is father rales war, following this war is King George’s war which is the North American theater of the war of Austrian succession but the last war had a bigger impact on British history and that war is called Father Le Loutre’s war which saw the British gain control of Nova Scotia, Continental Acadia which would become the Canadian province of New Brunswick and it would also see the British take control of Prince Edward Island however these 5 wars would only be a prelude to a more bigger and more famous and more greater known conflict and this greater known conflict is the North American theater of the seven years war the French and Indian war.

[@nocabgamedesign4832]

I love these videos because you (and your team) do a great job of providing the context and critical information that surrounds each event.

Excellent content! Keep up the amazing work.

[@augustvonmackensen3902]

The Battle of Turnham Green and the Battle of Newbury are two of the most underrated important battles in English history. The whole war could have been won for the royalists had either result been different. After Newbury the royalists would never again get a clear sight of victory.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , K&G . 🐺

[@Bait794]

First off been a long time viewer of your videos. Thank you for the consistent history and tactics displayed on screen. Second if possible I would love to siege your depiction of the Defence of Rhodes against Mehmed II. It was a struggle much like Constantinople and the reason I ask for it is to learn more about the battle and the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller an ancestor of mine who led the defence bringing victory against overwhelming odds.

[@beachboy0505]

Excellent video 📹 The Royalists show initiative and flair

[@brokenbridge6316]

It seems while The Thirty Years War was going on in Europe itself the English were having their own version of it in the long English Civil War. Great video.

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

Well just saying but Besides the anarchy I would love to see the revolt of 1173-1174 and I would love to see it because fighting on the side of the rebels was Scottish prince David Earl of Huntigdon and he is the father of isobel of huntingdon and isobel got married to a man named Robert De Brus 4th lord of Annandale and together they had a son named after his father and his name is Robert De Brus 5th lord of Annandale and he is a very interesting character to me because he is the paternal grandfather of queen Isabel of Norway, King Edward Brus of Ireland and paternal grandfather of King Robert the Bruce king of Scotland and had Robert the Bruce’s paternal great grandfather married isobel of humtingdon he wouldn’t have had a claim to the throne of Scotland but besides the rebellion of 1173-1174 I would also like to see the Baron’s wars, Despenser war and the invasion of England in 1326 and the Baron wars are very interesting to me because the first war saw the restoration of the Magna Carta.

I'm from Newbury! Yay, hometown hero!....incidentally there is a monstrous monument in Wash Water (slightly south of Newbury) called the Falkland Monument (it's opposite the row of shops). For the longest time I thought it was commemorating the Falklands War but it is actually the place where the Parliamentary artillery was (well, ish), led by Lord Falkland. I suppose I could be wrong, but I think it might be the only monument commemorating the civil war. Oh no, wait, that's actually a lie. There is also a monument here in Yorkshire that's in a field commemorating the battle of Marston Moor. I found a musket ball there last year. Curiously the monument looks exactly the same as the one in Newbury (Wash Water). And yes, I know, I'm a southerner living in Yorkshire. I'm about as happy at that situation as Northerners are at me being here.
