Loved how simple and straightforward you explained Anglo-Saxon slavery. William Malmsbury was ahead of his time it seems.

[@michaelmccomb2594]

Not sure that’s the case. He was writing long after slavery had been outlawed

[@311girl]

Ah, I did not realize that. Thank you, I am still learning.@@michaelmccomb2594

[@georgecunningham9175]

Once again a well researched, written , and presented piece of history, in this case a bit that is usually glossed over. Thanks!

[@MrKeet]

A lovely comment, thankyou!

[@lindsayheyes925]

Excellent. I knew little of this. I work near Marstow, Herefordshire. Once known from the Brythonic language as Lann Martin, it had a church built on the marshland of agri Guruarch which had been donated to the church c 740. Rhiadaf had bought the holding "for 24 [lacuna, possibly kine or sheep], a Saxon woman [i.e. a slave], a precious sword and a valuable horse" before making it a gift. Source: Liber landavensis, c 1130, quoted in Evans J G & Rhys J, The Book of Llan Dâv, 1893 (facsimile ed. 1993). I pass the patch - now a campsite - on my way to work. The church, long gone, was excavated in 1964.

Just subscribed and put notification on for all videos ! I’m a huge history fan and studied it in College yet ended up in Pharmacy !??!? I like the simplicity of your delivery making difficult periods in history easier to understand and remember. Thank you xx

[@MrKeet]

Excellent, thankyou!

[@pablorammerthorn8975]

Awesome job as always

[@MrKeet]

Thankyou!

[@louisetrott5532]

I enjoyed this tremendously, having studied Old & Middle English, Old Norse and Medieval History at the University of Sydney.

[@MrKeet]

Thankyou!

[@gonefishing167]

ThNk you, that was really interesting. I think we tend to forget that people from years snd years ago had feelings and hopes just as we do today. We tend to think of them as ‘history’ but it’s so much more isn’t it! 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺

[@MrKeet]

Yes exactly! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@alanomofo]

I would love to see a video about native Americans who kept african american slaves . It was well documented in the trail of tears . some Cherokee were quite wealthy and did what other wealthy people did at that time which was unfortunately keep slaves of all colors .

[@optimusprinceps3526]

Shhh, that truth gets them and most Democrats very upset, so does the one where the Black Freedmen in the Americas owned Black slaves as well.... Their brains can't fathom it

[@MrKeet]

Yes we can cover that one day soon.

[@flavio17021979]

Thx for another interesting story from the past 😊 Much appreciated 👍

[@MrKeet]

Thankyou!

[@motojunkie8348]

I was skeptical because of the little hat tribe but im impressed.

[@christbanner3219]

So 1066 was in effect an emancipation year...

[@hejla4524]

William the Emancipator.

[@willgibbons1733]

If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be called William. So thanks, I guess, you b*stard 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@MrKeet]

Thankyou!

[@theresalaux5655]

Good video 😊

[@MrKeet]

Great, thankyou!

[@RobBoudreau]

While William I can be credited with ending slavery within England at the time, he and his Normans introduced serfdom, which was not much better. Good video on what is an often glossed over part of Anglo-Saxon history.

[@MrKeet]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

Resources?

[@MrKeet]

A couple are quoted in the video (Malmesbury being the main one). There is an excellent article in History Today about this topic and a good book 'Slavery in Early Medieval England' by Pelteret if you want to know more

[@willempasterkamp862]

The normands had their own interest in abolishing slavery, they won the sympathy of the working-class against their formal masters ; the just replaced saxon high-nobility. This way the normandy rule was established. The norman clergy (french speaking and latin educated) also bennefitted and took over the saxon churches.

[@Judge_Magister]

You are no longer a slave, you are a serf now…

[@LucidFL]

Youd much rather be a serf than slave

[@jamesm3471]

Everyone enslaved someone at some point, sometime, somewhere unfortunately.

[@optimusprinceps3526]

Not according to Democrats and BLM in the USA.

[@TreyMessiah95]

Just like you don’t care about black enslavememt, As a BLACK MAN, I could give two shits about “white slavary”

[@optimusprinceps3526]

@@5heffPaul 👍😆 Perhaps, and since the Romans enslaved some of my ancestors 1500 years before the BLMers ancestors were sold out by the superior West African Warrior Kings and Tribes, to Arabian and European Traders. I'm in line before them, and that's not the narrative they want...
