What?

Bonne année 😊

I like all French kings and French history !

Wow french cannibalism.

The 's' in viscount is silent.

7:10 "Having kids in Canada" means having children. I don't know what else you heard, but in 60 years I've never heard it. Anyway, very interesting historical facts in this video!

There is no difference In 1940 everyone was a Petainist then over time a part of the Petainists broke away calling themselves Marshalists to separate themselves from the Petainists who did not totally approve of Petain's policy. There is therefore no difference, the man was the same. At his trial in 1945 he was accused of conspiracy against the security of the state and intelligence with the enemy. Edouard Daladier in a clear and clear response to one of Petain's three lawyers. replied “the marshal did not assume the duties of his office! The marshal did not assume his duty as a Frenchman!”

I read a library book about duelling (wish I could remember it's name). It taught me that the three types of aristos most likely to die in a duels were Russians, Irish Protestants, and Southern U.S. Americans.

It puzzled me when Neocons started stating and implying that the French were cowards, because growing up I was given the impression that all they did was fight duels with each other. I also remember having been confused by "The Three Musketeers," because I never saw them using muskets or even carrying them. When I read the book there was a brief period during the siege of La Rochelle when they actually got to use muskets.

This is a story I heard from an old retired gendarme. When Kennedy had DeGaulle as a guest at a grand state dinner in Washington, he was seated next to Jackie, the First Lady. Having been educated at the Sorbonne and speaking fluent French, and being of French ancestry, she turned to DeGaulle and said to him in perfect French, you know, Mister President, I am of French ancestry. Without skipping a beat, DeGaulle replied, "oh? Me too!"

Strange they got rid of the scrounging royals in France but Canada still supports the scroungers now LOL

I have 17th century Quebecois ancestors. Is there a list of all the King’s ladies by name?

What is the AI BS? I do not appreciate this.

This is such an arrogant, ignorant, self serving narrative that the producers should be ashamed. These intrusive settlers landed from another culture uninvited and proceeded to impose their values and religious dogmas upon people who long preceded their arrival, all in the name of imperialistic, colonialist expansionism so de rigeur in this era and continuing in this episode. Barbarians indeed; kettles shouldn’t call pots black. The men brought disease and eventually interbred with indigenous women, got attacked by bears and were tormented by blackflies; you celebrate solo, exploited, nubile females of convenience who should have re-embarked their ships and returned back to from whence they came. Plus ça change…

Jews were persecuted in the Middle Ages and burning at the stake and why didn't anyone like them in the Middle Ages

Is this a real person talking?

Many of Australia's population were descended from maybe 300 women.

Up to age 40? A 40 year old wouldn't have many childbearing years left.

Very nicely done! Your framing of the importance of their role in the development of a solidified French culture in Canada is an insightful perspective. Thank you.

Filles du Roy.. daughters of the king .... my grandmother, whose original last name was Royer - told me of these ladies...and what the men had to do to apply for one....

In Katherine Mansfield's short story The Man Without a Temperament there is a completely ineffectual, but chronically foul-tempered, pet cat called Klaymongso.

My favourite Clemenceau quote is that America "is the first country in history, which, miraculously, has passed directly from barbarism to decadence, without an intervening period of civilisation".

Maybe you could correct me on this: I'm an Anglophone in Canada. I believe he said, "if you are not a socialist at the age of 20, you have no heart. If you are still a socialist at the age of 30, you have no brain." Also, I think he said, "War is too important to be left to the generals," the exact opposite of what Carl von Clausewitz said. Do you know the story of him paying the passage for his soon-to-be-divorced wife back from the United States to France in what amounted to one step above Steerage Class? I'd love the details. Thank you very much.

During the debate about the French trousers a French general states, “Le rouge pantaloon, c’est la France “

Nice AI video bro

You are correct, the red pants in 1914 were not a good idea, but that wasn't the only reason for the 1914 casualty rate. The whole French army was antiquated - tactics uniforms, and weapons. The Lebel rifle with its smokeless cartridge was ground breaking in 1886, but it was surpassed in the 1890's by newer, better systems. The stripper clip loading of the British, German, and American armies was much better for a sustained volume of fire. The 8mm Lebel was basically a necked down black powder cartridge with a rim that did not lend itself to stripper clips or machine guns. Also the German army made much better use of machine guns, especially early in the war. All the armies modified their uniforms and weapons during the war, but the French started with a huge handicap.

“Aggressors and child killers” so kind of like the slaughter of the Palestinian people no?

Jesus was killed by the Romans; I am a Bible scholar of sorts

A French Officer asked an English Officer why they wore Red Coats into battle. The English Officer replied, so if an officer gets wounded, the soldiers won't see the blood and panic... It was from THAT time in history the the French Officers switched to (poop) Brown Pants.

Humanity must wait for its geniuses - they brought olive uniforms

Hey, it was stylish.

Margaret's daughter, Joan, later became queen regnant of Navarre as Joan II (1311-1349). Her paternity was under doubt because of her mother's alleged adultery. On his deathbed, Louis formally recognized Joan as his daughter. In 1361, Margaret's succession rights became important in the premature death of Philip I, Duke of Burgundy (her grandnephew), since the closest Burgundian heirs were descendants of Margaret and of her sister, Joan the Lame. Margaret's grandson and heir Charles II of Navarre claimed the duchy on the basis of primogeniture, but Joan the Lame's son John II of France on the basis of proximity, being one generation closer to the Burgundian dukes. As king, John ruled in his own favor and became Duke of Burgundy, later bestowing the Duchy upon his son, Philip the Bold.

Margaret was born in 1290. She was the second daughter of Robert II, Duke of Burgundy (1248-1306) and Agnes of France (1260-1327), the youngest daughter of Louis IX of France and Margaret of Provence.[1] As such, she was a member of House of Burgundy, a branch of the Capetian dynasty. In 1305,[2] Margaret married her first cousin once removed, Louis, who had inherited the crown of Navarre from his deceased mother, Queen Joan I. They had one daughter, Joan (born 1312, died 1349). Early in 1314, Margaret was caught in an alleged act of adultery in the Tour de Nesle affair. Her sister-in-law Isabella of France was a witness against her, and Margaret was imprisoned at Château Gaillard along with her sister-in-law Blanche of Burgundy. In November of the same year, Louis I of Navarre ascended the French throne as Louis X of France,[1] thus Margaret became Queen of France. However, she remained confined, as Louis would not revoke her punishment for adultery, nor have her crowned as a queen consort. Without an incumbent pope, Louis had no means of annulling his marriage. After poor treatment in prison, Queen Margaret caught a cold and died in 1315,although another source states that she was strangled

keep using that awful ai narrator

Are you a frenchman sir?

What so special about Charlie? From our Anglo-Saxon prospective all he did was cry about Brits and Americans fighing to help France like we were the Nazis instead of the Germans.

The biggest lie is that she existed at all. It's obviously all fabricated.

😂 she didnt die from smoke inhalation and her head didnt explode😂

Just goes to show you how anything can be made up to give justification to hatred.

Yo- In pretty sure the pope was in France, not Italy, at the time! Avignon!

This is someone who deserves an hour and a half long video about him. Nevertheless, I didn't know about his haemorrhoids.

My favourite French historian! Love your videos

How are these videos recorded? Do you speak in French and them use AI to translate

Louis XI… the most shrewd and prudent of French monarchs… not “sane”? And Louis XIV as “hated” in French history? Unserious list.

His writings on final exile and nearing to death… were centered mostly around his Christian faith. “I tell you that Jesus Christ IS god!” There are no nuanced explorations of that reality in his writings. They’re more or less, just pages of hymns overtly declaring the grandeur of Christ and Christianity. Does that not… Tell you all you need to know? On the other hand however, Yes, the Catholic Mussolini was in fact, openly recognized by a great many as “the sword of Islam”

This claim is so disrespectful to Saint Napoleon. They believe the same about Jesus, David, Solomon, Abraham, and even Adam, it is so deluded.

Yes, he was muslim.

Yeah sure. He was also black. And a Woman.

Vive Jean Messiah!
