Henry VII: The Consolidation of Power - Episode II

[@mattmacaulay2900]

Thank you for giving Henry the attention he deserves. One of the most underrated historical figures ever.

[@historywithhilbert]

I totally agree, thanks for your support!

[@josephfigg4848]

Thanks Hilbert. I'm currently studying the Tudors for A Levels and I find this time period to be difficult to understand. This video has been very informative!

[@historywithhilbert]

You're very welcome, glad these videos are useful! Should be releasing a video every 2-3 weeks on Henry VII from now on ;)

[@pandoratonks4429]

I am too. I'm currently year 13 and I have mocks in about 2/3 weeks :(

steelersrock01 Appreciate the support!

[@HistoryMarche]

Really enjoyed this one. Didn't want it to end :( How many episodes will you publish for this series? Great work

[@RossFigurepaintingCoUK]

The "mythical" king Arthur? Hmmm.... The Arthurs (more than one) are well recorded if you take a look at some history outside the Danish/Angle narrative. I would suggest checking out some Alan Wilson books and videos as a starting point if you want to learn more the two main Arthurs and indeed the three more that followed. I think you will really enjoy it - a lot ties in with and explains the Angle arrivals that you are very interested in. You mentioned Jasper getting Wales which is also connected. Another interesting video Huw - I hope you produce something on the pre-1000AD British/Kymric/Welsh history too. :)

[@alancoe1002]

New stuff. Thank you.

[@lloyddavies8152]

Great video, and allways really funny!

[@beth7935]

Brilliant to learn more about Henry VII, the overlooked Tudor! Thanks for making this series- it didn't appear when I searched for "Henry VII", but I'm happy I've eventually come across it!

[@MichaelAndersxq28guy]

Nine months later... Achievement unlocked. That. Is. Excellent!

[@tombaugh5286]

Yay!! Been really looking forward to this mate! Thank you! You´re doing a great job! Hope You´re well!

[@Knowledgia]

Interesting and awesome as always sir Hilbert. Chech your messages :)

[@historywithhilbert]

Knowledgia Cheers mate! And done!

[@smallmj2886]

Love the "unable to play footage" moment. I imagine Philippa Gregory goes in to more detail...

[@historywithhilbert]

Mark Small Glad someone enjoyed it 😂And yes, I'm sure she goes into plenty of detail 😉

[@beth7935]

EW EW EW EW, you've just given me nightmares!!! Considering she made Anne Boleyn get it on with her brother, I HATE to think what kind of messed-up shit she'd come up with! But yeah. "Unable to play footage" was good, tho I was already LOL-ing at "Just ask Richard, I have quite the skill with my lance." For some reason, Henry VII being even vaguely filth is freaking hilarious :D

[@thomassugg3422]

I remember going to York in late 2016 such a nice city. Pain because it is a long drive to get there since I live in southern England.

[@historywithhilbert]

Aye York is great, I'm there quite a lot actually

[@maggieisabelleday942]

still here revising for my Tudor a level exam on Wednesday...

[@izzieandavadanuggets9325]

King Henry VII was crowned as a King by right of Conquest so he was not reliant on his future wife's claim or parliament, I think in part, because he did not know what happened to the Princes in the Tower. I think people thought they were dead but there were no bodies and no confessions yet.

[@1TruNub]

Hilbert I have to say I've always been more of a student of the American West the American Civil War and the 2nd World War but you have kindled the interest in medieval European history the English the French Among Many others keep up the good work my friend

[@spencerkropf7404]

Their were two Elizabeth's of York. The elder was the daughter of Richard, Duke of York and sister of Edward IV. The second was Edward IV's daughter. Don't mean to nitpick love your content keep up the good work.

[@historywithhilbert]

Spencer Kropf Yes you're right! I actually talk about that in the next video in the series about Rebellion which I've already recorded :)

[@mariuspontmercy2736]

Not gonna lie, that Careless Whisper gag made me laugh more than I should have. I think my cat is now even more pissed off at me than normal.

[@MrVitroc]

Love how the French flag flies at the baby Arthur Tudor's crib.

[@historywithhilbert]

It was meant to be just a generic medal but hey ho :P

[@stefanatliorvaldsson3563]

[@adufresne1]

You should do a video on the Avignon Papacy. I studied it in my history class last semester and it was pretty juicy as medieval history goes if it's taught right. Political intrigue, civil war, subterfuge etc. Would really love to see you do a video dedicated to it!

[@christopherellis2663]

Thank you, very informative

[@historywithhilbert]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Codie-el2di]

Thanks, I love your videos. I'm glad that I subscribed!

[@Anesthesia069]

Will you be covering the pretenders such as Perkin Warbeck?

[@historywithhilbert]

Suthseaxa Yes! I'll round up Lambert Simbel start of the next one and in the same video go over Perkin Warbeck. Then the next video it makes sense to do Foreign Policy because it's linked a lot to both Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck pre-1500 :)

[@Anesthesia069]

Excellent. Henry VII is one King I've yet to learn much about, so these videos are fantastic. Keep it up!

[@MichaelAndersxq28guy]

14:26 That. Is. Perfect!

[@robertstrong6798]

By all accounts Henry loved his Yorkish wife so much he sank into depression and his personality changed after her death. Was absolutely one of the best political moves in English history. But the man loved her , apparently he got his cold hearted ruthless reputation after her death. Make of that as you will

[@UpcycleElectronics]

3:18 What's the uncensored version hiding?

[@AlucardNoir]

I dunno Hilbert, shouldn't there be a king Richard IV in between Richard and Henry? Not to mention Richard's son Edmund III.

[@historywithhilbert]

[@jonathanstempleton7864]

[@ferrjuan]

As a Ricardian I completely disagree with your assessment of “The usurper” but nonetheless it was a great video and I enjoyed watching it.

[@taffyducks544]

Juan Ferreira Nonsense...The Brythonic Welsh were the original rulers of Britain, but they were betrayed. The house of Dinefwr is forever!!! Ask Prince William! Scots and English, fighting over something that was never theirs.

[@historywithhilbert]

Thank you! I'm meaning to make a video looking at the Ricardian interpretation vs the traditional interpretation of Richard III. Personally I find myself coming down somewhere in the middle but who knows what I'll think after doing the research!

[@renlysotherlover294]

Completely disagree with your entire assessment of Henry the seventh but I do love that flag in your thumbnail with the Tudor rose. England should really change their flag to that. The plain Red Cross is so blah

[@historywithhilbert]

Are you more of a Yorkist kind of guy? Thank you, glad you picked up on the thumbnail :D!

hi

[@herbert4725]

What is your opinion on the people that belive Edward IV was a bastards

[@historywithhilbert]

Not to insult your intelligence, but do you mean Edward V, the Prince in the Tower? I've heard of his legitimacy being called into question but never that of his father.

[@herbert4725]

History With Hilbert I once saw a documentary about how he was a bastard.But it is not that popular so you might not have seen it

And finally, they proved the crumpet mightier than the croissant...

[@antivalidisme5669]

England has never been a French "colony" or something close to this notion. Normans weren't Frenchmen though they spoke French like most of the rulers until the XXth century. If you read the Austro-Hungarian dreadful ultimatum to Serbia in 1914 it was written in French for example. But I have nothing against funny memes as soon as people are able to tell the difference between propaganda and History as I'm sure you are unlike others ;)

[@francehasbeenthemostimport9558]

@Mallar the Normans settling in north of France were Nordic however the Normans who taking over you were french that happens to nordic blood. Even the Bayeux tapestry is calling the normans as french, enjoy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayeux_Tapestry_tituli but keep calling them as Viking if it's hurt you so much that they were french lol

[@orpheonkatakrosmortarchoft4332]

To be fair it is quite difficult to define what is "French" and what is "English" at the time

[@Chickentendies1989]

Hilbert would you be able to do a series of short videos (3-5 mins per episode) about the ruling styles and accomplishments of different rulers through history. Like Kazimierz the great, Edward III and alexios komnennos etc. I think it would be an intersting comparison on how different succseful rulers ruled. And therefore seeing if there are similarities between great leaders. So we could see if all great rulers share similiar traits like, bravery, kindness and good administrators for example.

[@historywithhilbert]

Maybe something like "what makes a successful ruler?" with examples of various people from history? I like the idea!

[@Chickentendies1989]

Also the similarities between edward iii and kazimierz iii are kind of amusing. Both ruled around the same time. Both ruled long and died old. Both whrre the third of their name. And both were of similiar ages. I believe kazimierz (casimir if put in english) older by like 2-4 years. I think and both are thought as some of the greatest kings of their respective country. And both where known to be reasonably benevolent. And both are often depicted with long beards, especially in later years. I just always found it abit amusing
