I cannot go to sleep without these documentaries. Sometimes I have dreams about the people in them.

[@reneepantoja5758]

Lol…I’m the same

[@IMonicaB]

Doing that right now. 🥱😴🛌

[@megmeg2241]

Every night 😂 I love how long they are too, helps me sleep knowing it won’t just end. And the voiceovers are great! Super relaxing. I’ve watched way too many of these but it’s my current fix and I learn something new. I just go back to what I remember last then wait to sleep. I’ve dreamt of most longs and queen at this point 😂

[@philgriggs5803]

Fall of Civilizations Podcast is another good one. The only problem I've encountered with sleeping to these documentaries is that I inevitably wake up in the middle of a Nazi's biography! My recommended video feed is now just a bunch of war criminals!

I'm huge in the ancestry and I'm huge into ancestry and I'm also a history buff. I was doing my ancestry a few years ago on an obscure side and I saw some names I recognized and I got excited! It's not a big deal to be related to someone famous or a past king or queen but it's kind of cool to be able to do it. Just my luck. Traced it to John Lackland! 🙄 One of the worst kings England ever had! I was telling my daughter and she was pretty small at the time and she said "is that the bad guy in Robin Hood?" I sighed it and said "yes it is" she said "can we just not tell anybody then?" 😆

England could use a Henry V right about now. the US could use a John Adams

[@susanlett9632]

I think I disagree with that. I don't think he was ever meant to be a ruler I don't think he had the personality for it I think he had serious mental issues. Sucks that you blame him for his depression and mental problems!

[@Sean12248]

Wait....Richard II isn't on this list? Personally, from this list I think the worst was King John.

[@JonathanBresnihan77]

I really really LOVE these

[@thenationalthing7979]

Good one

[@BBEEAATTNNGGUU]

Richard the Lionheart was the worst. Hated his own country, avoided it, his responsibilities, and to top it all off failed to take the Holy Land. He had every talent England needed, but like a child he wanted to play war instead of being responsible. England would pay much for what Richard did AND did not do.

[@schniggs2011]

My favorites are William II, Edward II, James I, and William IV. Art for art’s sake, beautiful men, and care for the people.

[@andrewmaloney837]

Regarding king John I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's analysis that really deserves

[@beckyboo5097]

@FootballFury There is no proof nor evidence he murdered them. The tudors slandered and slated him good and proper! The only way for sure to prove they weren't murdered is to test those bones in Westminster Abbey. That's down to Charles to decide and right now he has other things to worry about. Also go watch the program princes in the tower new evidence. May change your mind on it all!

[@wenthulk8439]

We don’t know for sure if he killed them. But he certainly had the means and a motive.

[@bertpeters8048]

4 hours and 50 minutes to share England's worst Kings. Wowsers

[@kriswiffen7418]

I would clearly rate Edward 2nd as the worst due to a monumental difference between the two. King John was never supposed to inherit the crown as he was the 5th son and was thus never properly educated as a future king like his older brothers Henry and Richard were. Edward 2nd was raised from birth as the heir apparent and was rigourously educated with this in mind. Despite this John still managed to prove himself a little while Edwards only triumphs were practically gift wrapped to him by those around him more competent.

[@bananaspliitz9136]

I’m listening to this more than watching but I really gotta wonder who did the editing on this because I look up to see a good 15sec of a close up of someone’s lips 👄 1:33:33

[@belletynan4914]

This, alone, makes me think these were specifically made to be listened to rather than watched. There's a few images of the actual people they're talking about but the rest is just stock footage/images.

[@Vinny6962]

Edward II and Richard III don’t belong on that list. Edward was betrayed by his wife. Richard was the rightful King who was wrongfully vilified

[@aidatony33]

Thank you I completely agree with you. How about Henry VII, he usurped the crown from Richard III.

[@wenthulk8439]

King Edward II was hardly a bad king in terms of administrative skill. Richard III however was also a usurper who took the throne by force like King Henry VII did
