Raedwald, The Forgotten Warrior King From Dark Ages Britain

Yes please

The Anglo-Saxon period is fascinating! More videos please

Let's not forget the Jutes.

​@@johna1160Or the Frisians. King Raedwald, who's grave this thought to be. Was more than likely a Geat (Goths) as Geatish jewellery was found in the grave goods buried with his ship.

[@kaoskronostyche9939]

yes. I would love to hear stories like this from the "dark ages." This is an era of history I know nearly nothing about. Great story. Thank you for your efforts.

[@Slavador2393]

Yes! More stories of ancient Britain help to paint the historical tapestry.

[@anselmdanker9519]

Yes , please continue to cover the history of the dark age British Kingdoms.

[@PaulMarshall-kp8dz]

Yes, please. I've just come back from a Christmas holiday in East Anglian. I visited Sutton Hoo, an extremely interesting site under the care of the National Trust. Replicas of some of the treasures are on show in an exhibition hall. Also, the home of Edith Pretty is open to view. This is not the only burial site, there are nineteen others. The story of how this escaped grave robbery is interesting, apparently the mound was disfigured by early farming, a robbery was attempted but they dug in the wrong place. Actually the story of how and why Henry VIII came to legalise grave robbery could make an interesting story.

The Dark Ages is such a misnomer. There were so many beautiful things created

[@atrippister]

As a friend of mine who is a professional historian explained me, in today's academia the term "dark ages" is really used only in the sense of a period with no or little written records, and whose history should rely most on material, archeological information. I was quite amazed by that 😮

[@rosameryrojas-delcerro1059]

It was still dark at night though...

[@skadiwarrior2053]

Feels like we are entering a dark age again.

[@jmc7034]

There’s so much of British history that’s been forgotten. Would love more vids like this. Fantastic ❤❤❤

[@soyboymotivation]

Ever heard of the Focus group and thier influence on Winston Churchill?

[@Angela-j8b]

Not forgotten. Wiped from history.

Yes. More please, and just to add; it’s me, ‘ Chris who had a stroke?’ I have a story about driving my Grandfather across the South, on his last sales trip, called, ‘ The Viking Funeral’ . You just inspired me to get back to writing! Vikings! Uff Da!

[@jacobdugan4305]

Yes please. This is fascinating.

[@sandranorth0009]

[@jamesbeeching6138]

Great video Chris. I love Anglo Saxon history....So yes!! Please more Dark Ages stuff!!!

[@davidwoods7720]

Thanks so much Chris

[@martinputt6421]

Yes please, I'd love to hear more stories from different periods in British history.

[@lurchiesmith8752]

Yes , please give us more History of Britain from all periods of history!

[@HarryWHill-GA]

Yes Chris. The answer is always YES!!!

[@harryshriver6223]

Yes! Chris I thoroughly enjoyed this tale about the dark ages of England which were not so dark. It seems to me there was a lot going on in England during this time it just wasn't recorded. I definitely think you should do a video about the battle between Edwin and the two kings especially Penda. I particularly like the fact that Raedwald was half Pagan and half Christian, as Homer Simpson once said God bless those pagans! 😂😅 A masterful work my friend and I am looking forward to the next episode of English history.

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

And as another famous golden monarch once said "I love the uneducated. They're my people!"

[@MikkellTheImmortal]

Yes! I can never get enough of these great stories.

[@theinigosilvastation6232]

Yes, these stories of British history I'm all here for

[@Excommunicated-ei1ep]

YES! This was a Great Video on Anglo-Saxon and Celtic History…Keep ‘em Coming!

[@TheNWPerry]

Yes very enjoyable. Much of this period lays untold to most people. Thank you.

[@49oldtimer]

Yes, definitely more like this, please!

[@KayIvins]

Yes please. ''Dark Ages'' history is fascinating and a very important part of our history as it is the very beginning of England, and indeed the United Kingdom as well.

[@crazyviking24]

Yes please I would love to hear more of this content.

[@BootsontheTable]

Great story thanks Chris. Yes to more of these please! I can spend hours looking at the Sutton Hoo exhibits in the British museum

[@hythekent]

[@susanpasarow2680]

What a great story! Absolutely yes, more of these fascinating tales please!

[@tonypetts6663]

YES!!! I enjoy all history but this is my favourite period of English/British history and one that I spent a great deal of time studying when I was younger. A very well told study of Raedwald Chris, thank you very much.

[@FrankBurnham]

Amazing how history looks so clear and seems determined in hindsight but in the moment there was a chance for a different destiny.

[@HaakonOdinsson]

The timbre of the narrated voice, is very important to convey a story. Yours is one of those! 👏

[@TheHistoryChap]

Very kind of you, thanks.

[@terryjohnson1064]

Yes, please do more stories from other periods in history.

[@sarahmusk7793]

[@stevestannard6004]

My favourite history period. Glad you're talking about this era but sadly for me I'm cancelling my broadband for financial reasons and won't be able to watch this brilliant channel. Thanks for enlightening me Chris these past few years and hope you continue to increase your subscribers, I wish you well.

[@markjones6726]

Great - look forward to hearing more dark ages and even prior to Roman invasion

[@roberto-z5k]

A very interesting video as usual, Chris.I think that history of Britain in early Middle Ages is, generally, an intriguing topic. Thanks!

[@JoeRitchie-e5l]

Another awesome story of the fascinating history of Britain. I would like to learn more about this period of history

[@christybyrne5195]

Yes, Please, more stories like this.😃😃😃😃😃😃

More. I’m an amateur 19th century British military historian myself but this period is great and really what defines us as a diverse nation.

[@stephenbrown1077]

A definitive yes from me. I love learning about our country and its early development. It's fascinating. Thanks, Chris, for a great historic story. It's most interesting.

[@Fred-rj3er]

Yes please. Thank you. Ya a great narrator and researcher.

[@Central.NL.Outdoors]

Yes, keep them coming. Cheers

[@goblinlee74]

Excellent video, thank you. It's quite amusing that you have filmed this video on Raedwald as only a couple of months ago a wargames set of rules, Midgard, was released and used Raedwald as one of the narrators for rules in the book. There's a lovely piece of artwork of him resplendent in his Sutton Hoo helmet.

[@NickReade-o7u]

Yes please Chris, thoroughly enjoyed the video! Would love to hear more on the Anglo-Saxon period, Penda, Offa, Bede, history of the kingdoms……..

Yes obviously we would love more videos!!!

YES please. Thank you.

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

Yes I love all the history of England Scotland and Ireland. Thanks for sharing.

[@mizofan]

Not Wales? Don't forget that the native Britons were called Welsh by the Anglo-Saxons from Germany

[@ronaldpoppe3774]

@mizofan yes. I have never been to Wales but would love to see it . I have seen quite a few videos of the beautiful country and it is definitely on my to-do list.

[@wor53lg50]

​​they was called wealas meaning Irish (Foreigner) invader from Dal Riata, the reason the English Britons brought a Saxon army Across...and then joined it to become Anglo-saxon...

[@janlindtner305]

Look, it was a great pleasure, a story to which I had to listen very carefully. the Viking Age is around the sacking of Lindesfarne in 793; but in Denmark we have archaeological traces that indicate organized state formation 500. A baptism fund has been found in an excavation of the rampart at Trælleborg north of the current Slagelse, which should have been built in 980 by King Harald Blåtand. Perhaps a pre-natinoal Christian society in Denmark. History is wonderful and thank you for your fine lectures. 👍👍👍And in today's woke times, these treasures should be returned to the Danes immediately😂

[@darrylreardon6038]

Any history is an interesting history. Fill your boots Chris. I'll keep listening 🎧

[@ravenfeader]

That's a big Yes Chris .

[@jasonthomley5879]

[@TheHistoryChap]

Thanks for your support.

[@Crissue1]

Yes please, the the so-called dark ages need lighting like this. Keep up the great work.

[@markjose2195]

Yes please Chris. All periods of our fascinating history

[@robinwhitebeam4386]

Yes please , I do like the linking of a narrative story to modern historical discoveries. No mince pies left but I am having a sherry , thank you.

[@johnking6252]

Great melding of the eras into a coherent story, quite enlightening really and I thank you for furthering my understanding of.....well history. 🌎✌️🌍

[@martinrabone3961]

Yes, please. Fascinating.

[@paddydunne774]

Yes. You are a great story teller 👌

[@pes9792]

Yes! Very interesting! I am learning so much more than I did from the exhibit at the British Museum. Thank you. 🇺🇸♥️🇬🇧

[@Poohze01]

Yes! Please! More medieval (& renaissance) history!

[@BruceG-dw5gy]

YES ! A good rousing story for sure. Thank You. My history comes from the Vikings that landed on the west coast of what is now Scotland.

[@bagpusslxv4858]

I absolutely loved the story - 😊

[@KB4th]

Yes please mate, great story telling.....

[@eddygilbert]

Yes. I enjoyed this very much.

[@knightforlorn6731]

Absolutely yes, do more history like this, especially British history. Here’s a topic that is distinctly British: they have a unique style of harness (steel plate armour) which has recently come to light. Previously it was supposed that knights were importing armour primarily from outside sources like Milan and HRE.

[@trailingarm63]

Yes. This was a great story well told. I would like to see you cover more Dark Age stories. It's a fascinating period of history.

[@paultaylor2676]

More stories like this please Chris fascinating content 😁

[@jordanseifarth1325]

Yes please. That was very well done.

[@jaydenoliver1091]
