Please do a video on Robert Curthose! There is little about him despite his role in the first crusade and his role in Normandy and his rebellions against his father and younger brother, respectively.

I never cared for William the Conqueror, however, he introduced a high tax on slavery which effectively ended the practice in Britain, perhaps making England the first country in the history of the world to eliminate slavery. Maybe it was the only one good thing he did.

[@cindiloowhoo1166]

I did not know that! Will listen for it here.

[@WayneCahalane]

What history have you studied? I'm guessing you're having a laugh!! 😂😂

[@kevvieb7829]

he taxed slavery because it was something to tax

[@Hrossey]

✅😂 if you trade slaves for no £0, what tax is there to pay? How about a Slave for 1p today? What’s Williams % in tax? 😂❤ ended slavery? Oh I don’t think so! 😉

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

Meanwhile, the English created slavery in the USA and savaged the peoples of Africa and Ireland to do it. Modern slavery flourishes in England now as human trafficking of all types, so hardly eliminated. Merely controlled on one patch of land temporarily.

[@nobodyimportant5485]

This is an epic history lesson! Thank you for this fantastic video!

[@velvittbunn624]

Matilda was actually 5 ft, which was about average height for the time! The 4 ft number comes from a 1959 examination of her tibia, which was incomplete, hence the lower number.

[@McLaughlinRoblin]

That's a great and very informative video. Thanks.

[@Aspasia2929]

If Henry had plotted to murder Rufus he would’ve had everything he needed to install him as king set to go and not have rushed off leaving his brother’s body where he fell. He probably wouldn’t have even been there either. This is a great series! I’ve watched many documentaries about English monarchy and this one is more in-depth. I especially enjoyed learning more about William Rufus. Most documentaries gloss over Rufus; usually, they go from him being crowned king to killed in the forest within a few minutes.

[@diannamaree7854]

If you use math and divide it out, William the conqueror lived 47 generations ago... Which would make him your 45th or 46th great-grandfather. (2024-1066=958. Divide that by 20, (the approximate length of a generation) and you get 47.9 (that's how many generations in the past he lived)

We currently hear about artifacts and interesting bits being dug up and found wherever. I look at a working archaeology site, many feet below current ground level, and wonder if in a few hundred/thousand years ago will all our "important stuff" be buried under 20 feet of who knows what? Maybe it depends on if "They" set up shop on our "ancient landfill."

The problem is Edward couldn't make William his heir. And there would be no reason to invite a foreign heir when there were plenty viable closer heirs. England had an elected throne. The king could RECCOMEND his heir. But not decide it. So Harold was rightfully elected king.

[@michaelahern6821]

If only Harold had a bit more patience..he would surely have crushed him by numbers alone..

[@kaythomas5884]

Doomsday comes from Danish, and means Judgement, as dom is to judge. Danish survives in English to a great extent.

[@MrZooop]

I first learned of the anarchy through the book "Pillars of the Earth". I always struggled with who i felt was at fault, but after watching this, i feel like the majority of blame can be laid at the feet of Henry I. he should have either gone with stephen full bore once the white ship incident happened, or gone with matilda in the same way. i think if he had made matilda somewhat of a coregent, the nobles would have accepted her by default since it was just a continuation.

[@kaythomas5884]

William was a Viking, grandson of Uffe, who took Normandy in exchange for danegeld.

[@kyrby]

William (Guillaume) wasn't entirely Viking. Rollo married a French noblewoman, and his son did the same. Moreover, William's wife was also of Norman origin. So, in the end, he likely had more French blood than Viking.

[@cindiloowhoo1166]

What current country area were the Vikings from, please?

[@Hrossey]

He was not a Viking. Norse perhaps. Viking means a pirate

[@jetteanschutz4860]

​@@cindiloowhoo1166In this case it was Denmark since Rollo is said to come from there. But Vikings were raiders from all over Scandinavia (Norway, Schweden and Denmark)

It is very noticeable that these vids were produced as single episodes. There is lots of repetition which becomes a little grating over time.

[@geminigrrl66]

The Anarchy also known by monks of that era as "When Christ and His Saints Slept." Also the title of a fantastic historical fiction novel about this turbulent time by Sharon Kay Penman. If you're a fan of the Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters, it was set in this time too. To think nobles went to war and caused so much destruction and disruption for the common people because they couldn't handle a woman on the throne. Turns out, Stephen wasn't that great of a king after all.

From William The Conqueror to Charles III all English Kings are my great grandfathers, great grand uncles or cousins. Richard III is a 1st cousin 14 times removed. On both maternal and fraternal sides of my family. Scoliosis runs in our family. 4 of Edward III's sons are greatgrandfather's and great grand uncles. The Black Prince is a great granduncle and his son Richard II is a first cousin many times removed as is Henry Bolingbroke ,aka Henry IV.

It's kinda odd all the kings of England were basically vikings. I thought they had just done raids but apparently they took over the whole dang country.

[@cindiloowhoo1166]

But, didn't they marry into other nationalities, altering the blood chemistry, so to speak?

[@ColorsFlight]

@@cindiloowhoo1166 yeah that's why I said basically. Before this series the king was Scandinavian and then the Normandy kings were from Vikings so it's just kinda weird lol

[@ColorsFlight]

The first William dude seemed like a doushe, the second William actually seemed cool and fair sorta, The Henry 1 seemed like a real forward thinker and yes he totally killed his brother, and got his grandson in his line so good on him with that i guess. I preferred Steven to Matilda bc he seemed wiley and tricky.

[@lindafarnes486]

Why does English monarchy only start with the Normans? Rememering Wakes was separate until one if the Henrys conquered it and even today Kent has its own royals. I don't understand. So any input would be aporeciated. (Not being British)
