[@jamwar764]

Please, please, please, more episodes like this. ♥️

[@faol8322]

Such a skillful reenactor. I felt like a young servant listening and learning from a mentor. I enjoyed how he continued oiling the sword while holding the attention of the listener by facial expressions, voices, and gestures. I look forward to the continuation of this series.

[@merindymorgenson3184]

Delightful! Old stories never get old in the telling, especially when it’s skillfully done like this.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

That, I assure you, was the best 14 minutes I've spent in many a year... Bravo!

[@miriambucholtz9315]

King John is lucky that the former bishop didn't poison his bread while he was at it.

[@anne-droid7739]

I'd say the bishop is lucky he didn't try to.

[@fabiomoura9532]

Lovely. I liked. Very interesting the king's final decision.

[@heraturcoaz5131]

Thanks!

[@davestelling]

How I love a good story told by a story teller...

[@theresaschuebel5151]

Oh thanks for this story, I an a decent of the DeVere family and have have only known that fact for about 3 to 4 years. Prior to that I have always been drawn to history and the middle ages the most and the era of the Magna carta was always my favorite but I had no idea as to why, but since finding out I now know.

[@sharyn7454]

More stories, very entertaining.

[@ShellyS2060]

Thank you for telling me a story

[@johnmoon3848]

Marvelous!!!

[@animula6908]

[@Artscardshop]

Cool story

[@mariambajelidze8515]

So great story 👏

[@summonersumnerus4364]

I enjoyed that!

[@BELCAN57]

More, PLEASE !

[@susanlamb6995]

Brilliant! More please! 👏👏👏

[@kck9742]

Loved this! King John (a direct ancestor through 3 lines, I found out) was a giant d-bag, but I too would throw anyone who mistreated sweet doggos into the deepest pit I could, so that's a point in my 23rd great-granddad's favor!

[@janicem9225]

Sure you're a descendant. ROFL There's no way to even prove that after 900 years. Most family lines can only be absolutely traced to around the 1400's, as there aren't usually any records beyond that, UNLESS it's a pure royal line that can be positively traced. You can't trace your lineage back that far, and claim to be descended from his line, especially since the traceable royal Plantagenet lines were obliterated by Henry VIII in his psychotic fear of being removed from his throne.

[@kck9742]

@@janicem9225 Yes, actually I am, and with good documented research you can be almost 100% certain, especially when it's several lines. Sorry you're apparently jealous.

[@MapleWorldd]

I love this!! keep up the good work 👍

[@vestafairie]

thank you so very much for this!

[@CorrieBergeron]

SPLENDID!

[@damiamagic6233]

Love it pls do pls more stories of the old age 🤗❤️✋👍🙏

[@JM-tj5gu]

So interested story with talented storyteller!

[@zothanmawiapachuau]

I actually heard this story more than 2 decades ago. But in the version I know it was a shepherd and not a baker, and king John forgave both the shepherd and the bishop (instead of stripping him of his title).

[@Bluebell510]

In Russian version it's same. There was a sheppard. And happy end👏

[@blugaledoh2669]

@@Bluebell510 there is a Russian version?
