[@dburton2765]

Thank you for these videos. Very educational and when I'm seeing you, it feels as though I'm getting a personal class from your beautiful home. Only hard part is how exhausting it is to always hear about psychopaths, as are the ones reaching for power and wealth...imo. Best wishes to you and yours. xx

Professor brilliant ! Thankyou

[@lynnepearce6389]

Excellent . Can’t get enough of Professor Bartlett

[@DSTH323]

Thank you, Professor. You are bringing history and historical consciousness to the people and it is very much appreciated by us --- Massachusetts

[@josephcollins6033]

I. LOVE. PROFESSOR. BARTLETT!!!! I know a bit about scholarship (my doctorate degrees are in music, but still...one has to research and lecture, etc.), and I tell you he is a brilliant scholar and a genius at THE TELLING. His passion for his subject infects his organization and synthesis, his ability to put everything contemporary together and tell it so that one remembers. Bravo! I think I could listen to him all day.

[@SarahWildes-do9qw]

King John descendant here. Thank you for your work.

[@BlakeAlexander-kq8qq]

You too King John was my ancestor too

[@one7deep7savage7]

So was every US president but that might be bit much right now.

[@jonathanjeffreys3007]

Amazing. What a delight to listen uninterrupted to such an erudite esposition of the trials of King John and the country at large.

[@originunknown3209]

Absolutely fascinating! Superb from Professor Bartlett! The Greatest Knight, Sir William Marshal, and how different things could’ve been today without his presence! A great presentation that!!!! Brilliant!!! 🛡⚔️🛡👏👏👏👏

[@BlakeAlexander-kq8qq]

forgot William Marshal was a sir to me he's the earl of Pembroke my ancestor

[@matthewnugent9430]

Many thanks to you and your team, Dr. Bartlett!!! Your work has helped build personal & professional connections that have benefitted my life. Cheers!

[@cattymajiv]

This is the 1st time I ever finished a 1hr video of history by a talking head, but you speak in an engaging way. So kudos to you for surprising me! I will try others.

[@thewayfarer8849]

Ah, now this I've waited for since your earlier discussion of the Magna Carter in relation to Henry III. I wonder if Professor Bartlett would mind making a video covering William Marshal, as an addition to the video you have on him?

[@donnajarvis9542]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@alanberry1318]

I struggled with history at school. I still can only take in broad brush strokes, but the quality of this video and the information provided still leaves me, a third rate student of history, with a desire to know more. It won't help me on my allotment growing basic necessities of life but it may help me understand why world rulers today appear to be Teflon coated.

[@brianpeck4035]

I thought I had problems with history but later realized the problem was my history teachers. My mom had lots of great history books and it was when I focused on Roman history that bits and pieces of other histories began to stick like the spokes of a wheel to the axle.

[@DD-hu7ib]

there's nothing basic about growin' teflon coated - just try not to do it on the allotments

When King Richard returned to England to retrieve his crown from king John, his majesty made the proclamation, "That henceforth and forever, all toilets shall be known as 'Johns'"....🤣🤣🤣 (Robin Hood, Men In Tights movie)

[@al_wombat]

Pure Gold! Thanks Professor, more please!!

[@paulleverton9569]

In another one of these done by Professor Bartlett, he said that the future Edward II was never called Prince Edward because the sons of kings weren't given the title of prince for about another century. I've read Edward I called the Lord Edward, when he was the oldest son of King Henry III. Sir Maurice Powicke published KING HENRY III AND THE LORD EDWARD in 1947. I know that the title of Duke was introduced to England by Edward III for his sons - even though it had been used on the continent for centuries.

[@alexhubble]

Fascinating 👍

[@louisdefoort]

Very well done❤

[@OscarDirlwood]

I was just looking for something like this about him yesterday

[@Austrian-Painter-88]

More from Robert Bartlett please. He’s a fantastic story teller and historian. His programs on the BBC are wonderful, it shows how far that institution has fallen in recent years.

What I like about your history lectures is because you don't sound like you are giving a lecture. It's not a speech. You speak naturally, like a friend I might have over and who tells interesting stories.

[@Chris-ut6eq]

Very nicely done. Thank you!

[@callum6773]

Top class content as always, used to watch his documentaries on the BBC obsessively. What a shame they don't commission that kind of programming anymore...

[@avalonkerr8332]

King John obsesses me. I am crazy about his father, but he obsesses me.

[@kentjensen4939]

Fun discussion of the ancestor of the US Constitution.

[@cattymajiv]

And MANY others too, although Americans tend not to care about anywhere else, not even Mexico or Canada!

[@onagaali2024]

Robert Bartlett gives a very thorough and adept account of the life and reign of King John. King John is portrayed by actor Edwin Arthur -aka- Guy Rolfe in the 1953 film Ivanhoe. It's a coincidence the actor 1911-2003 (Rolfe) was born in December and died in October for his years and King John himself was also born in December and died in October for his time. (1166-1216)

[@Guitarman1275]

Robert Bartlett is excellent. What a great self-contained biography! His books are amazing, but he's even good short(er) form!

[@tonyharpur8383]

'...in the middle of it all....King John died. It was the best thing he could do for his dynasty!' Perfectly put! 😅

[@one7deep7savage7]

His bloodline has been running the United States since the beginning. He left that part out

Ah John. So hapless, but in a fascinating kind of way.

[@hogsmeadhowler]

Brilliant talk, always lovely to hear from Professor Bartlett. Can anyone help me identify the set of red books on the left of the screen behind him?

[@Baczkowa78]

This and one other presentation on Magna Carta are clear and superior to every other.

[@owlofminerva2564]

Really enjoyable - informative, reflective, and with a little hidden humour behind. Some more egotistical and self-regarding media historians could take a lesson.

[@hajerasarwary8909]

What was in Clause 61 that was so radical and ruled the feathers of King John?

[@mampanevamba1614]

People will still blame Richard for John's mistreatment of noble prisoners and the murder of Arthur.

[@Kanfachan]

How can they blame Richard for John?

[@spetrie2325]

Brilliant..first class academic presentation..doesn't need powerpoint etc to hold attention🤣🤣

[@simplyme9874]

So here we have yet another discussion of the life of John without reference to his proposals on legal reform; the Magna Carta without referencing the military and administrative backgrounds of the rebel barons; and reference to the rebels and French taking London without referencing the achievements of William "Longespée.". (Just how long would the London merchants have supplied the French/rebel army after they stopped receiving payment?) I have to admit that the Brits are brilliant at propaganda. Most of their information is mostly true, and they supply just enough good information to justify the creation of false conclusions.

[@cattymajiv]

That is just hilarious, coming from an American ! ! !

But did the Magna Carta have any real teeth to deal with unjust monarchs. If so how did Henry VII get so far some centuries later. I really enjoyed your lecture.

The Common Law. Cause No harm, No loss, No breach of peace, No deceit within contract. Together with our Constitution, Magna Carts 1215. That covers any legislation, acts, or statutes.

No 'Prince John'? I assume he was 'the Lord John', like his grandson, the future King Edward I, was known as 'the Lord Edward' during the reign of Henry III ? Would this make the future Edward II to be the first Prince Edward?

[@amyrat151]

It seems to me that English kings having affairs with married women was significantly less common than French kings having affairs with married women.

[@michaelraeburn2112]

In school we were taught that John lost Normandy because he pooped his crown and as for can he really B doin that ( Caligula or. Nero ). !M

[@joangrant5248]

They are very interesting talks. However when Magna Carta talks of free men, I think it means free men and not free people i.e. men and women.

[@charlesvigneron565]

Fully twenty, of the twenty-four Magna Carta Surety Barons are tied by kinship, and/or, marriage. Many of these, or, their wives, are descendant of Robert Beaumont, Justiciar of England and/or Richard Lucy, Justiciar of England. Surety's are capitalized names. The twenty-fifth was William Hardell who was the Mayor of London and whom we know nothing. GEOFFREY DE SAY and GEOFFREY DE MANDEVILLE are cousins each married to a sister of GILBERT & RICHARD DE CLARE. RICHARD MONTFITCHET is brother-in-law to WILLIAM DE FORZ. ROGER BIGOD & HUGH BIGOD, ROBERT DE VERE & JOHN FITZROBERT are cousins descendant of Gilbert FitzRichard & Alice de Clermont. Maud, Countess of Huntingdon m. 1) Simon St Liz & 2) David, 'The Saint' King of Scots, is ancestress to ROBERT FITZ WALTER, WILLIAM D'AUBIGNY, SAHER IV DE QUINCY, WILLIAM DE HUNTINGFIELD, HENRY BOHUN, and the wives of ROBERT DE ROS and EUSTACE DE VESCY. WILLIAM LANVALLY is married to FitzWalters niece, JOHN DE LACY is married to de Quincy's granddaughter. WILLIAM MARSHALL, Jr is brother-in-law to GILBERT DE CLARE & HUGH BIGOD. There are strong family connections that I think too long overlooked.
