Love your content 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

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.

Glad you like them!

[@overcomerbtboj]

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]

@@EwnetuZegeye-l2c 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.

[@edwardbertorelli7358]

[@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.

[@MJl-o2w]

I'm direct

[@JohnHBatte]

Wow, Henry 1 was my 25th Great Grandfather as well, though through Eadgith his queen, making Malcomb king of Scots my 26th Great Grandfather as well as William the Conquerer my 26th Great Grandfather as well. Interesting to find another with close blood ties of 25th as well, it means you had long generations too as Henry I was 45 standard generations ago. Interestingly King Harold, William defeated, was also my 32nd Great Grandfather. King Charles III, current Kimg, is my 13th cousin once removed and here I am a poor farmer in America lol.

[@gypsyvano]

[@JohnHBatte]

Yes my 24th Great Grandmother Matilda couldn't have had her son as king, my 25th Great Grandmother Eadgith daughter of Malcom king of Scots, my 26th Great Grandfather wouldn't have married my also 25th Great Grandfather Henry 1 the greatest king. Ending half my line.

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.

[@Ifraneljadida]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@JohnHBatte]

Everyone praising you but you made a major glaring mistake. William the Great was my 26th Great Grandfather, Henry I was my 25th Great Grandfather, and EADGITH (not Matilda who was their daughter my 24th Great Grandmother) was my 25th Great Grandmother separate from William's line making Malcomb my 26th Great Grandfather. I loved the show, but mistaking Matilda for Eadgith is pretty glaring. Matilda, My 24th Great Grandmother, was named after her Grandmother William's wife. Great production, but please watch fact checking, it is a major mistake for such an otherwise grand documentary.

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.

[@stephenmudiecastles.2938]

The greatest Norman king, well there is not a lot of competition as there were only four of them. He may have had a hand in his brothers death and could have fathered nearly 30 children, only three with his wife.

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.
