Early Life of Edward Longshanks (1239-1272 AD)

In this biographical video we focus on the earlier years of the future Hammer of the Scots, Edward Longshanks.
Covered within are the turbulent years of the Second Barons' War, which saw the rise of Simon de Montfort, the Provisions of Oxford, as well as the Battles of Lewes (1264 AD) and Evesham (1265 AD).
Then we chart Edward's crusade to the Holy Land and his uphill struggle against Baibars, which culminated with the infamous attempt on his life in the June of 1272.

[@toddmckenzie6201]

I like these longer formats because a lot of people do not elaborate on a lot of the interesting detail. I can’t wait to see your channel boom!

[@therabman_5606]

[@121music4life]

Your voice is so relaxing. The perfect thing to listen too, too help me sleep. Thank You

[@galloe8933]

The videos on this channel remind me of the old, slower paced history documentaries of the 90s, and last I checked those videos turned into spooky alien videos. I like this History Hub.

[@purltwotogether8218]

Thanks for the video. You cover things in so much detail and pack in such depth into the videos.

[@HistoryHubChannel]

I always give it a good go. 😀👍

[@Zondelkond]

Nice, another long form Video. Can't wait to dive in to the Hammer of the Scots, though I suppose that part is yet to come.

[@MrKrypton.]

[@stephenbesley3177]

I love this stuff like a moth to a flame. Looking for answers that may never be known about a universe that just gets stranger and stranger

[@pfqtwo9505]

Thank you buddy. Good stuff!

[@xtremeranger30]

Very good biography on Edward so far. I take it you used Marc Morris's excellent book, "A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the Forging of Britain" as a source.

[@andywright3581]

Excellent as as always love the background music thanks for the great series

[@anitapollard1627]

Wow 🤗 well done, thorough presentation!! Loved it 💕

[@HistoryHubChannel]

Thanks. 😀

[@briankeenan776]

Thanks!

[@HistoryHubChannel]

Thank you. :) I plan to continue Edward's journey in future, though I also have a long series planned for his ancestor William the Conqueror too.

[@kerryhart9418]

Excellent

[@hanssteiner4315]

Good video! I remember you uploaded this before and me asking for a Dutch medieval history video. Am I correct? Thanks for your great quality content!

[@HistoryHubChannel]

Yes, that's true, though the previous video was shorter and had a couple of mistakes, so unfortunately I had to replace it.

[@MrFarnanonical]

One of my favorite medieval kings. You can easily see how Edward greatly inspired Tywin Lannister in game of thrones. I think the only King more interesting than Edward was Richard the Lionheart.

[@caseyh1934]

Can we get Henry I&II? 2 very interesting figures. Right up there with Edward III. Leagues above Richard who was a Very good warrior but a poor ruler

[@MalleusIudaeorum]

Lionheart is the most overrated monarch in the entirety of European history imo, don’t get the fascination other than with devout Christians who like him for the crusades. He was a very good general but a terrible king as the person above stated. He didn’t care about the land or people he ruled, preferred France, saw himself as French, buried in France, taxed England to hell and back to fund foreign wars, he basically never even spent any time in England at all and used it to fund his personal adventures trying to gain renown for himself.

[@gm2407]

​@@MalleusIudaeorumRobin Hood legend and King John being worse does a lot of the heavy lifting.

[@Andy_Babb]

Great channel

[@bobling98]

Awesome stuff

[@milliethemog]

Yes yr definately getting some likes and support from me brother, greetings from Birmingham, the heart of Mercia!👍

[@HistoryHubChannel]

Thanks! 😀👍

[@redemptivepete]

Sorry but Staffordshire is the heart of Mercia. Tamworth/Lichfield had a valid claim to fame 1300 years before they were infamous for their terrible MPs!

[@milliethemog]

@@redemptivepete It's the heart of Mercia now tho, we're still in Mercia!

[@caseyh1934]

Shout out to the background music. Appropriate game track to use

[@ashtonbarwick6696]

Aphonso Plantagenet was one of Long-shank’s sons name. His first born I believe so we almost had a King Alphonso I Plantagenet of England

[@monikagrosch9632]

Is there a way to get rid of the horrible background music? It ruins the whole, so interesting post!

[@danmacalpinbruce2555]

I was shocked to find out i was a direct decendant if Edward 1st. And i believe also Rebert The Bruce. Whats are the chances of that?

[@milliethemog]

It's crazy how when watching Braveheart year's ago i always thought that Longshanks was an actual Ænglisc King, but now i know better and know that the only real true Ænglisc King's were all before 1066 and proper Anglo-Saxon that probably came from the line of Cerdic who claimed to be descended from Woden himself...🤔🤷‍♂️

[@c.norbertneumann4986]

Nevertheless, Edward is an Anglo-Saxon name. It is said that Edward's parents admired King Edward the Confessor and thus named their son after him.

[@ashtonbarwick6696]

The Plantagenets were descendants of Cerdic too. Matilda of Scotland (house of Wessex) married William the Conquerors third son Henry Beauclerc. Their daughter Empress Matilda married Geoffrey Plantagenet and thus the line of Cerdic was united with Rollo.

[@clovelly1946]

Edward and William W.both are my ancestors.I love research and have 70 generations.

22:25 the ruling Christian Princes of middle age western Christendom, were not absolute monarchs and could not do with ever they wanted. Firstly, the soo called divine right of kings was a system invented and first practiced by James I of England, then it eventually spread to the continent later on. Every Catholic ruler not only HAD to follow the morality and laws of God ,they had to follow all the MANY different laws that organically developed over the centuries in every town, shire , county and dukedom whose laws were all different from each other's, and all being different from the crown lands as well. The Crown and The Church were two separate entities that worked together to keep each other in check but neither had anything close to absolute power. Objectively , we can see just how successful the system of the Catholic Monarchy truly was, it lasted for well over a thousand years in most of Christendom. Fact.
