"If God was gonna have sum windas, these are his windas" - Danny the Dyer of Essex

[@Ashleykeithdavidharper]

Theoretically he could be called the duke of Essex

[@akschmidt2085]

This is awesome. The most "common" man (not in a bad way, I like him) has the most extraordinary ancestors. Brilliant.

[@morgansmith9533]

I love how humble he is being about learning all about his family history just wants to learn everything he can

[@mississippimud7046]

Danny has the most interesting family history

[@jordanleigh8119]

I know from Edward the 3rd. William the conqueror. Henry the second. Sir henry Hotspur. He's got so many warriors in his bloodline

[@vagabondabbie]

He's my cousin so I LOVE WATCHING because they are my ancesters too. So AWESOME

[@MediaArchive2-z9f]

​@@jordanleigh8119 Plus he was king of the queen Vic pub.

[@melissatop6932]

This whole series made me laugh at Danny's antics of describing how he felt and made me cry a bit, at the glory of it all.

[@stephfoxwell4620]

Ridiculous. That is 28 generations ago. That far back you have over 100 million forebears. At least one is bound to be a Saint.

[@adamgetzendanner]

He has more royal blood than anyone in the House of Windsor!

[@georgiaholmes5199]

He’s also related to st Margaret of Scotland through Henry I’s marriage to Matilda of Scotland who was a granddaughter of an Anglo Saxon king giving the Norman dynasty more legitimacy

[@sr2291]

When he walked into the church I got tears in my eyes. It is very humbling.

[@holstahipz]

2:29 😂😂😂 that moment you realise you're descended from a Saint 😂😂

[@mizzfit02]

My 27th great grandfather was canonized on 6 January 1485. His name was Saint Leopold III, Margrave of Austria. Louis IX the Saint, King of France is my fifth cousin 24 times removed.

[@aliciao.5731]

Wow! Amazing! I'm just excited that one of my grandfathers was the president of a group of farmers in a small group of farmers in small villages in Mexico. He helped get farmland for his villagers.

[@mizzfit02]

I love how he is just taking the piss !!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@adventussaxonum448]

I thought this was going to be about his ancestor St. Margaret of Scotland, a member of the West Saxon Royal family, meaning that Danny is a direct descendant of Alfred the Great (and therefore descended from Woden🙄).

[@sarahisreal7879]

You voice will so powerful in a move. Love it

[@SilverCottage]

Saint Louis IX is a cousin of mine, so I suppose I must be related to Danny Dyer. What fun!

[@kiest3570]

If you and Louis ix are cousin then you were born in the 1200s

[@vatodiablo]

Louis IX is a first cousin of Ferdinand III of Castile and Leon (also a saint, San Fernando). Ferdinand is my 23rd great grandfather, making Danny and I cousins.

[@lbennett5027]

I would have cried if while standing in THAT church, someone told me I had the blood of a Saint running through me.

People can be very snobby about working-class and regional accents and assume people aren't intelligent because of how they speak.

Imagine one day people looking at Danny funny, bowing and saluting and then all of a sudden people demand that danny would be king of whole europe ahahahaha!

Danny’s ancestral heritage is more prestigious, legitimate and royal than the German Queen who currently reigns over Great Britain.

[@paulinehignett6557]

They are not the real royal family.

[@paulinehignett6557]

@@timenyart Thanks. I was going on the info that way back one of the Queen's ancestors was illegitimate. The baby was conceived while the father was away at war. See last of plantagenets. The real king moved to Australia.

[@paulinehignett6557]

@Thomas Johnson Hi Thomas, I was going on the information in the t.v show, that found the documentation in the cathedral, that showed it was an impossibility for the baby to have been legitimate, because the king was away at war when the baby was conceived. Going on the timeline info ,the Queen would have been pregnant eleven months! I will go back and get the information. I am not slurring the baby as no one can help being illegitimate.

This was no „ordinary saint“ Louis IX is: „King of earthly kings“. All subsequent Kings of France, refer to kinship with him. Being related to him is like being a „demigod“.

[@maebhc]

lol, cool vid but not as strange as you think. The way ancestry works out is kinda strange. An example would be that everyone alive today is related to everyone who was alive in the 10 century. Not just 1 person in the 10th century. .. . .all of them :) It gets even stranger. We're also related to some of these people by different lines of descent. In a nutshell. . . . if you're European, or even descended from Europeans, then you are 100% related to royalty. . . .so well done :)

Pretty much everyone European is descended from Edward III, like...EVERYONE. It has been statistically proven. Therefore, everyone will be related to all of these Kings, as well... just saying lol. Can't stand how that lady is welling up

[@alemporto]

I read about that. But I think the papers that have been written about this subject, claim that all people of european descent are descendants of Charlemagne (being called nowadays as the father of europe) and not Edward III. Indeed when I did my genealogy, I was able to get to Charlemagne, but didn't find Edward III in there.

[@Schneefernerkopf]

There's a difference between being a direct descendant and being a cousin ... which most relatives of these kings are

[@swissuz]

There is a lot of truth in that statement. And that goes for early Americans, Australians and Canadians. My family has also been traced directly to Edward the III, not a cousin......so we have a billion cousins. lolz
