"It's a written test", this is a sagacious quote I will forever employ, thank you Tom Richey.

[@KaoruSan241]

This channel saved my bacon, I have to write an essay by friday on the growth of Calvinism in the second half of the 16th century so this and your John Calvin video have been very helpful as general overviews. Thanks for taking the time to make them!

[@tomrichey]

+KaoruSan241 And thank you for taking your time to watch them... along with the ads! :D

[@H3c171]

What did you choose for your topic?

Valois: VAL-wah.

[@KikomochiMendoza]

It's a written test 😂

[@aileejones7037]

Tom! A thank you AND a tip for your future classes. My 1st semester exam is this week and your videos are AMAZING. This is only my teachers second year teaching European History, so he isn't as fluent as some. You can definitely explain things with greater depth than he. I'm forever indebted to your youtube channel and yourself. Also "Valois" is pronounced "Val-waa"

[@tomrichey]

I'm glad my videos are helpful! And yeah... My French pretty much sucks! Haha

[@williamk.wright5922]

Tom Richey you are a gem and I hope you know this

[@AhnzelFanel]

I was looking for film footage of the war of religion and your video was the first to come up. Dude your video are really well rated :). PS: it is not pronounced valoy but valwah

[@tomrichey]

+Ahnzel Fanel Yeah my French sucks. lol

[@AhnzelFanel]

Tom Richey Nobody is perfect ;)

[@fredericferreira2383]

Hi guys, I am French and not long ago I've resumed my studies (actually starting a bachelor's degree in English language though I'm 34, everybody should be able to retrain) Tom, I really appreciate your lectures so I wanted to thank you. Regarding the French Wars of Religion I advise you some excellent readings (historical novels) about that period : Queen Margot by Alexandre Dumas www.goodreads.com/book/show/153875.Queen_Margot_or_Marguerite_de_Valois#other_reviews A chronicle of Charles IX www.goodreads.com/book/show/18395173-the-chronicles-of-charles-ix#other_reviews To remember how violent were those events one may quote Dumas's words in his novel ; " Le sang courait de tous côtés cherchant la rivière " = " Blood was running from everywhere looking for the river "

[@ulcus...]

Thank you so much for these, my class pretty much lives by your videos for review.

[@sameezch]

This is helping me so much with AP Euro. Thank you so much!!!

[@harmonicb3auty260]

I'm one of Mrs.perkinsons kids for ap euro and these videos are very insightful and easy to understand.👌

[@sreenidhikotipalli757]

suuuuuper helpful. but im afraid i cant find the "Thirty Years' War" video... am i insane, or is it not up?

[@skyeembray6160]

THANK YOU! You have taught me so much!!

[@dannyhernandez2230]

Thank you so much! These reviews are very helpful. Especially since I'm taking AP Exams this year for history in (Euro, Art, & U.S.) You are very funny as well, hehe.

[@margaretashton2693]

I really like your video, but I feel compelled to correct your pronunciation: Huguenots= Hugh-guh-no Valois= Val-wah

[@saraashkir5793]

+Margaret Ashton My teacher made a pun about the Huguenots: "Huguenots? Hugu-yes!"

[@diona5370]

its pronounces both ways btw

[@bostonsteve2889]

anal much?

[@NDAILEY9]

Not how things work in the south

[@mattheweverett9335]

Margaret Ashton , yep your correct

[@maitripatel409]

Your videos are really helpful, thank u for giving ur time to make them

[@tomrichey]

SO GLAD I CAN HELP YOU! :D Thank you for taking the time to watch, like, and comment. I'm guessing you're preparing for the AP Euro exam?

[@maitripatel409]

Ya I m. But I m really nervous

[@tomrichey]

Hopefully, I'll be able to help with that over the next two weeks. LET'S DO THIS!

[@Sobeit-bk9tx]

Thank you for this information. This is in fact my personal history. My forefathers were French Hugenotes that came to South Africa in 1688 because of catholic persecution. We still spell it Hugenotes and we still believe in God as the Supreme Super Natural Being. God Is Everything.

[@mengchaoli509]

Thank u for sharing. It’s really useful

[@samuelkinch4153]

dude, where do you get the rock samples from those interludes

[@hank6887]

I learned just today that my ancestors were Huguenots, very interesting , while they were in France their last name was pulan and coming to America they changed it to pullen,

[@bastouneuroatypicmusic6885]

Im French, its very cool to heard an american guy who speak about our religious history ! French huguenots and calvinists were very influent in France and gave to us some liberty rights and they gave a lot to a part of american protestantism but sometimes, they were not admitted because badly, some of them in france becames violents with a spirit of revenge ... and some catholics too. We can notify that, our huguenots are like the puritans for the brittish.

[@colourtheory1412]

Well, I just spent four hours watching your videos to prepare for my test tomorrow.

[@perfectlystyled]

My teacher always gets side tracks when he lectures so thank you for these videos!

[@tomrichey]

I kind of side track when I lecture in class, too! lol

[@jamellfoster6029]

*Katherine de Medici & Henry II actually had 4 surviving sons with 3 becoming kings of France... Also their ruling house was pronounced Val- wah (spelled Valois but pronounced Val- wah)...

[@lds8fcad]

So helpful Thank You!

[@melissasalcido1724]

Very Helpful! thank you

[@tomrichey]

Always glad to help!

[@lillianabright03]

Thank you so much! This helped a lot ^^ thanks!

Great videos.

[@daddyyancky2]

Very helpful! Thank you! My teacher uses your videos in class. Thank you again!

[@tomrichey]

David G. Pupo Thanks for the kind words, David. Your teacher must be AWESOME!

[@frennysala7039]

I am a Protestant but not Calvinist nor Lutheran, I'm simply a Protestant though I adapted the radical attitude of a Calvinist and admired Luther's reforms and adapted some of his ideas and both inspired me in terms of nationalism against Catholicism. Lutherans also inspired me that I am loyal to Protestantism and keep on fighting the corrupt doctrines of the Catholic Church.

[@HashimyHuseini]

Frenny Sala Protestants did awful things also .. and if europe remained catholic that would be better

[@thomascoloian1495]

i really liked your video

[@robbremault8145]

You make French history in an "accent" that people can understand is so incredible ... X O California

[@Jamesthefrog]

Nice Vic Firth sticks lol you play?

[@saraashkir5793]

The War of three Henrys is so funny and interesting xD (It's not mentioned much in this video, but I suggest you look up Henry Duke of Guise because he looks a lot like phineas from phineas and ferb)

[@xm-k228]

Sana Shakir he has a triangle head?

[@jacobsnider8504]

Does he look weird because of incest?

[@richardglady3009]

Thank you.

[@johnfisher247]

There is more to it. Given what a very small minority of different Protestants had done in England, Scotland, Geneva, Low Countries and Germany and the intrigues caused by them in France this uprising is understandable. The killing of innocent Catholic friars, monks, clergy and laity had caused real panic and anxiety. The anthropological truth is about unity and hegemony. Divisions cause conflict. The French majority decided to act to remove that threat. Expulsion would have been preferable.

[@OliverdeClisson]

You forgot to say, that the Hugenotts Wars are the precursor like/to the the 30-Years War.

[@HM-yv9xk]

So is politique sowing seeds of secularization.

[@tomrichey]

That could be said.

[@haleystokes8457]

YOUR THE BEST EVER

[@elsaaltiparmakian6481]

I am French and I did comprehend quite a few things with your video! Thanks a lot! And ... btw.... Your pronunciation skills are pretty good! ;) (apart from Valois [Val -wha] ) But Diderot just told me he's not mad at you ;)

[@kierstenhazard9159]

so helpful!!!

[@jessicac2023]

Thanks for the video! Extremely helpful for an upcoming French literature exam, unfortunately pronunciation and spelling is an important factor in my case :( .

[@tomrichey]

Better you than me having to take a test on French pronunciation!

[@camsasser]

Homeschooler here...subscribing! Your videos are great supplements to what my boys are learning in history. I'm sure your students appreciate such a charismatic teacher! Your French pronunciations, however...are not so good. ;-) Haha! Thanks for making these.

[@ge3neva]

Where's Wally in the back of the St Bartholemew's day massacre.

[@mockingjaylover33ke]

How did I just now notice that creepy cat in the background? LOL

[@ecnapvoklal6688]

What is a written test?

[@gilgalbiblewheel6313]

France's reaction seemed geopolitical. England was for Protestantism and Spain is more Roman Catholic. Therefore France is somewhere in between where they claim to be Roman Catholic but not allowing the Papacy to get involved in French affairs.

[@fortnitegods1318]

Thanks

[@blackLs]

Watching this 18 mins before my quarantine AP exam

[@lukepark7175]

Is St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre considered a genocide?

[@GoFarGoHard]

Nice choice of sticks

[@christinekim7720]

thank youuuu!!!!!

[@possiblecryptid2501]

0:23 does that dude in the portrait look like tom felton or am i seeing things

[@SKOGLUND65]

Hehe. Sweet pronunciation of the french words :) But anyway. I like these short videos into some few areas of the big, big story.

[@Sarah-fv3kb]

I was so confused for the first half of the video until I realized that poster is of Denis Diderot! XD

[@Travis7060312]

"And this was an age before we figured out how to get along with eachother," he said before the 2016 elections.

[@raphlvlogs271]

was the huguenots a unified church?

[@Heisenberg882]

No, unlike Catholicism Portestantism wasn't one religion but several different sects

[@yorkhunt304]

what happened to learning for the sake of learning and not only for scoring on a test?

[@99ayumi]

i spent more time paying attention to whether or not he was going to drink from his nearly empty beer but of tea than i was the actual historical content.

skincare routine pls

[@bobsbigboy_]

that Vic Firth stick tho!

[@tomrichey]

+Mushy 808 I got that stick at a Megadeth concert several years ago. Glad someone appreciates it!

Tom Richey Awesome!

[@TheBaldingPied]

We called it the wars of the 3 Henrys

[@crispybagpipes1548]

great pfp btw

[@greg3155]

You're very helpful good sir but you ain't sly by putting that Waldo in the image of the Bartholomew Day's Massacre... lol

[@greg3155]

Welp I just posted this right after I realized you pointed that out after I un-paused it... great

[@nicolaswilliams4451]

So I understand that St. bartholemew's day massacre was catholics killing protestants, but what prompted such a large scale massacre? And was it officials killing or peasants killing?

[@boss180888]

the "guy" faction was behind it and it was intended as a coup de force against the huguenots(the guys are the ultra-catholic faction)

[@tomrichey]

Nicolas Williams I think boss180888 answered your question like a boss!

[@boss180888]

i got the name wrong though, it's the «guise» ;)

[@aileejones7037]

Also.. are you a devout lover of honey? Love how you keep it in your classroom! lol

[@MrAldredm]

Cardinal Richilieu, (du Plessis) is a protestant French surname, out and out. After the 100,000 were killed, the people on the ground disarmed everyone.

[@MrAldredm]

French books say he was catholic. He was at the time they combined with Poland.

[@MrAldredm]

They were also Southern French.

[@tommymiddlefinger1283]

Not sure what you're talking about or how I got here but I just wanted to say I have a honey bear just like yours.

[@richardalvarado-ik9br]

This conflict might of been bloodier and worse than the French Revolution! Conflicts based upon religion, culture or racial identity are always way worse than government ideology.
