    Interesting how the Kings kept the planet beautiful and pristine for thousands of years until they were eventually usurped by the underclasess who only prospered because of the better quality of decision-making of the Kings. 200 years of Enlightenment™ values has resulted in a wrecked planet, which means the only sensible interpretation is that we were better off under the Kings. We're now ruled by commerce, instead of culture. People are working longer and harder than ever before, despite our "advanced" technology. Health of all kinds is in rapid decline almost everywhere. Taxes are higher than ever before... we're a species in crisis thanks to the bourgeois way of life, and the only way to fix these problems is to put our faith in the superior ways of the Kings again, since they're the only ones who know how to use wealth and power well. Plato warned us almost 2400 years ago that democracy leads to tyranny. And here we are.

      @@RomaCatholica the church he founded WAS NOT catholic. That came later after Rome intervened and the paganism was slowly added. Haley’s Bible Handbook has great section on the full church history with names, dates and does list source material. I own the 1965 edition, but the newer editions have more detail. It has over 59 pages of great material with detailed information, including the first use of the word Pope, The Who, what, where, when and how’s of everything. Even list the forged letter that Charlemagne used to give the Popes their false authority. Bishop means: Overseer. Peter was that, but Pope nor cardinal, nor priest he was not because those words were not part of the original church. That all came after the paganism started. Many men meant well, but allowed the Roman government to take power within the church. Obviously Jesus nor His apostles would ever use the tile “Roman” in anything affiliated with God.

    This is partly Henry IV's fault. He came to the throne as a usurper. He should have made sure his line was secure and married off his heir Asap. The Battle of Shrewsbury was even a wake up call that he could have lost his heir (though maybe he got complacent because he had other sons). But after that why didn't he marry Henry of Monmouth off and started his babymaking journey? 1404-1413 was the perfect time because Henry of Monmouth was not yet king and he could have raised kids in a more normal fashion but nope. Henry V could have died at Agincourt too and kickstarted this problem even earlier. He dared fate and fought nonstop so it was only a matter of time. Best case scenario would have been already having some kids at the start of his reign and then having one beside him learning the ropes of rule and battle as an understudy like what Edward III did with the Black Prince so when Henry V died, there's already a teenager to take his place.

    A pope can when inspired by the highest authority of all change how things are done and then go back to the previous way of doing things too. Like how Gideons men succeeded in outwiting the Midianites through their trust in annointed leadership when being constientious in every detail about how they were doing things. Indigenous women when working in what some people believe is a non-traditional gender role continue to be targeted by superstitious racist extremists. Like 18 year old Keilia Windigo from Saskatchewan Canada. No barron, prime minister or king can get her back for us now.

      Loosing Normandy was a huge blow in an England already far from settled with a great deal of animosity between the king and the barons. By the time it got to 1215 they were pretty much in a state of war. As mad as it may seem to us today, the pope had huge sway in these most religious mediaeval times, and Innocent wanted to preserve the status quo in his own interests and those of the church. I note John and Innocent both died in 1216, so maybe they are up there above the clouds debating politics, government and religion, maybe having a wee ale together. John wasn't the worst king in English history as some have suggested. A lot of the new taxes he levied were to try and get enough for the ransom of his brother Richard I, and he also wanted to preserve the royal prerogatives over his subjects. Their "direct challenge to royal authority". Thank you for a very interesting video.

    I wonder how many ordinary people conscripted into the various mediaeval wars on English soil lost their lives. It must have been horrific living in those times. Regarding Edward and the young Richard in the tower. I have always thought Richard had to get rid of them lest someone rescue one of them and put a crown on his head. I agree with the scholars mentioned that Richard's overall reputation deserved rehabilitation. But I still think that on the boys in the tower he had to do what he had to do. Stanley really won Bosworth. Henry Tudor was lucky that Stanley decided to ride down and support him. I wonder "what if" had Stanley not defected from Richard to Henry (Anne Boleyn & Katharine Howard might have been born and lived long lives with their heads still attached to their necks). Thanks for this interesting video on the last big battle @ the wars of the roses. Enjoyed it.

Likewise with Homer as some scholars believe that he existed but later generations of Greek bards embellished and improved on what he did so everything that’s attributed to Homer really is not all of his own creation?

    Hello from Georgia...usa...I read Dan Jones, The Templars, The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors. The Templars revolutionized banking. They had wealth positioned thru out Europe and the Middle East. They created letters of credit. Money might be deposited in an English Templar depository and the letter of credit cashed in a Jerusalem's Templar depository. Now, pilgrims to the Holy land need not carry excess wealth, reducing attacks. Rich Knights, captured in battle were often ransomed. A letter of credit made payment rapid, for that period. Thank you.
