This was very informative. Thank you 👏👏👏

Very interesting. It is always fascinating to delve into the real life events and people that have been memorialised like this. Of course, being such a long time ago when these were first written down, it is hard to be exact. I look forward to more.

@@jonnyvalentinevideos I was wondering about the origins of the fairy tale The Three Little Pigs. Did they really kill the wolf by having him come down the chimney? Actually, the origins of all these old tales and rhymes are interesting. My kind of history.

Before I watched this video I figured out myself and your the only person who figured it out on KZbin it was very interesting how the Duke of the Norman’s William got crowned king he had 10,00 men and Harold the great had 7,000 men I love this video

A satisfactory conclusion. James, Duke of York was a naval man, so I'd probably discount him! I must look again at Richard! Thank you.

They go back so much further than you say. A duke would be similar to a petty king after the fall of the Romans
