Love your content 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@coolexio]

The best narrator in these, always keeps me engaged.

[@josefstrauss9017]

Thanks a lot, love listening to your videos during my night shifts. Espacially the ones about English Kings and Roman emperors. Thanks for the free education and keep up the good work.

[@PeopleProfiles]

Glad you like them!

@@PeopleProfiles i certainly do, the narration is superb and the topics (persons) are researched very well, top content 🫶🏼😇

[@overcomerbtbojesus]

The normans and Plantagenets are fascinating and i’m glad to see them getting more attention- the tudors have a habit of overshadowing their predecessors but i’m knee deep into learning more about this branch of the monarchy

[@entwifey]

Yes! I descend from the Plantagenets and it veers off when the tudors get involved. I’m excited to learn more

[@michelleg7]

@@user-jt2ft2ii3g What are you talking about? Of course there is one line of Plantangenets that exists through the line of the Dukes of Beaufort. Also a large majority of people descend from them, myself included through Henry II's daughter Eleanor of England, Queen of Castile. Henry's majority descendants are through his daughters though.

[@karigirl3569]

The Tudors pale in comparison to the Plantagenets. They are one of the greatest and most interesting dynasties in the history of Europe. I believe they belong in the same class of dynasty as the Habsburgs and the Bourbons.

[@Irisdlv]

Fascinating! I really enjoyed it. Henry was my 25th great grandfather. And Sybil Corbet(his 5th concubine) was my 25th great grandmother. However I am not descended from a child they had jointly, but from two different children. His daughter, Constance Matilda Fitzroy. And one of hers with her husband, Herbert Fitzherbert.

[@joenichols3901]

It’s insane how much we know about a king from a thousand years ago. It’s just wild to think about. So much history has been lost to time but we have this

[@TheVaughan5]

It’s also ridiculous that the discussed history of England up to the civil war period of the 17th c. is almost totally dominated by two monarchs, Henry viii and his daughter Elizabeth 1st Although both are obviously extremely important there are many other rulers and people of great influence that are barely ever mentioned. This excellent series puts history into a more accurate perspective.

To be honest I don’t know a lot about the Plantagenets but I’ve been studying my family tree and I’m a direct descendant like… 18 generations ago. Thank you for your videos 🙌

[@ANGELSVEN]

Excellent as usual. Henry I Beauclerc, King of England and grandson of William the Conqueror, was my 26th great grandfather. An Alfred The Great video would be wonderful.

[@pedanticradiator1491]

Henry II was the first Plantagenet king of England not Henry Beauclerc. Henry I was certainly descended from Rollo, 1st Duke of Normandy but was not his son. Henry II was the grandson of Henry I

[@louem2491]

Henry I wasn’t a Plantagenet and certainly wasn’t the son of Rollo

[@quintuscrinis8032]

He also wasn't 5he grandson of William the Conqueror - he was the 4th son!

[@gonefishing167]

Enjoyed it immensely, thank you. Wouldn’t it be interesting to know what would have happened if they had accepted Matilda as queen. How would history have turned out or, by some twist of fate, would it work it way to how it was anyway. Good to think on 👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

There are a few consorts who would be as interesting as actual monarchs, such as Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret of Anjou, Eleanor of Aquitaine, etc. Probably the most important woman in English history (even more important than any Queen or Queen Consort), Margaret Beaufort, has already been done though.

[@katherinecollins4685]

Well presented

[@user-ln3lh2pz8h]

Fascinating that the English Monarchy is based on the French nobility, and that the lands in England were just an add on to their main possession in France. Not many people know that Sibling rivalry led to many internal wars. The falling out seems a common feature in the Monarchy to this day. Welearna lotfrom History but not enough to really learn from History. The French plantagenants ran England quite well for decades.

[@stephenchristian5739]

amazing they have color video of Henry as a child.. fascinating

[@MarcusAgrippa390]

Will you guys do Napoleon anytime soon? Or perhaps you could do a video about Marcus Agrippa?

[@Jackaljkljkl]

Epic History TV basically makes all other Napoleon content obsolete. Personally, if I was another channel, I wouldn't even bother. I guess they could do it for completeness, though. I'd like to see a People Profiles for Napoleon's military inspiration, Eugene of Savoy. That would be an interesting episode.

[@enamulhaquefahim4924]

Finally!

[@JOHN----DOE]

As a ruler, Henry established internal peace and a lot of judicial and monetary institutions necessary to successful government. What's "cruel" about imprisoning his brother--most rulers have swiftly executed any claimants as aggressive as Robert. And Henry can hardly be blamed for the accident of a sinking ship. He pretty much did all he could in a very, very brutal and unstable situation.

[@Animadroids]

After listening the whole documentary, I find Henry I responses to plotters and challengers quite modest. He could have killed Robert but he refrained frpm killing his own vrother. Even after a revolt, he MOVED hia brother on another castle, when others could have easily poisoned him.

[@nicholaswestley9851]

Surprisingly they never suspected foul play in the death of William Rufus which was amazing.

[@SuperPorchswing]

Especially in light of Brexit, it will never not be funny that England has had foreign kings for almost its entire history, including the current German royal family known as the Windsors.

[@thostaylor]

Most kings are foreign in origin - by choice, to minimise fights between noble families. In fact native-origin monarchs are very rare in Europe.

[@mtngrl5859]

This is inaccurate statement, that is repeated often. How George l succeeded after the death of Queen Anne to the throne of the UK was through his mother, Sophia, Electress of Hanover, who was the grand-daughter of James l (James Vl of Scotland). So, it was the matrilineal line that he succeeded to the throne. So, he had as much English blood in him as he had Germanic blood. The Windsor line is connected to the Stuarts and the Tudors. With the present Prince William, he has Stuart lineage through his mother as well as his father.

[@SuperPorchswing]

@@mtngrl5859 "Connected to" is doing a lot of work here.

[@user-mq2kt1kx1c]

Literally all of us can trace our ancestry back to another country in the past. I’m related to the Stewart’s and their progenitor was a Steward from Brittany that came over with Henry I, and given lots of lands and titles. James VI & I is related to Alan FitzFlaald (11 century). But I mean how far back do you want to go. Great video. ❤

Mathilda took over and carried the torch. I see analogies of the Pope and his RC Church and it's beureaoracy with the EU and it's beauriocracy. But there was no Brexit but a.compromise thepope could appoint bishops but they paid homage to the king. The White Ship incident scupperedhis plans. Arranged marriages didn't quite work out as we see even today with Charles aand Diana.

I disagree. William was the greatest. Without William there would be no England. William unified a people that were little more than a bunch of tribes. Granted, he did it through conquest and force, but William was responsible for bringing the government, language and culture that makes the British people British. Everything else is just details.
