The Bedrock of Constitutionalism: Magna Carta
Why do you you insist on using these ridiculous AI images which represent nothing in actual history ? It completely undermines what is otherwise a reasonably accurate depiction of the battle !
On Henry’s reign, men tried to be masculine enough, while on Elizabeth’s reign men wore a more “feminine” style of clothing, and also the collars started on her reign
The Highland Clearances had nothing to do with the Jacobite Rebellion or the acts of proscription. The clearances were perpetrated by Landlords moving tenants off their land because it eas more profitable to graze sheep than rent to tenant farmers. The former Clan chiefs were among the first to carry out these acts !
hey man great vid, not wanna se ai pictures tho
What happened to the hand spinning, its high level skill, just a wee bit before all the machinery? It seems some vital history got missed.
Am busy with making a Movie about William Wallace wanna see it on my UA-cam Channel THE RISE OF WILLIAM WALLACE IS based on many TRUE Historical Facts also many fictional Characters and Characters that Gibson didnt use for his film but it shows how Wallace looked like and the outfits and the battles WITH A BRIDGE ON STIRLING 🎬📽
How many of the Jacobites were there from choice and but because of the harsh clan system. For the poor if you didn't go you were likely to have your home burnt and any animal that you may have owned killed, therefore leaving your family to starve.
Queen Margaret and Prince Edward did not go to Wales before Tewkesbury - they were on the way there when they were forced to stand and fight the Yorkists. Was Tewkesbury a cavalry battle? Surely it was largely fought on foot.
Gonna need a citation on that beer thing. Ive heard from many reputable sources that water was almost never drunk. Their version of beer was very light at around 1% alcohol. They even gave it to kids.
Whoa, Margaret of Anjou was more of a babe than I'd previously imagined! I might switch sides. Everyone else does it. Off to Tewkes. tomorrow to look over the ground. Mostly under housing now, but still... Thanks for the vid, ideal refresher. Forgotten how soon it was after Barnet. Edward must have been in for the kill.
So basically, he T-boned the blockade and then opened up on them from both sides. Brave and solid move. His square should never be denegrated by squalid and simpering terrorist sympathizers. I am disgusted with Khan.
DEUS VULT!
This is 👍,Thanks 👋
final stand ?? we are not done yet !!
Crap!
Genocide against the native aboriginal people of my Country. Soon we would be wrapped up in government tartan and sent abroad to do to other native peoples what the British had done to us. Thankfully, like all other empires, that one has come and gone. Scotland shall be a nation again.
Audentior Ibo!!! 👑 🦄⚔️🏴⚔️🦄
@@tomdavidson5719You crap now while u can .
As a Highlander, I despised the name of *STINKING BILLY CUMBERLAND* from childhood and I *DESPISE THAT BASTARD TO DATE.* That murdering bastard and his *BAND OF OF MURDERERS* slayed Highland males, women and children regardless of their age. BUTCHER CUMBERLAND allowed his troops to go around the Highlands killing at will, which was his way of allowing his men who "fought hard" for his father, a bit of fun and recreation.
Our ancestors defended the Reformation of Jesus Christ - and then surrendered it all to the enemy within via the Jesuits and other evil parts of Rome! Today, the Black Pope is witness to this. Unite again Britons under the Reformation and the direct Word of Chris and Free-will / Truth / Independence from the Black Nobility (BlackRock Oligarchic).
The Highlanders did incredibly well to even close with their enemy. They reached Barrel's Regiment , the left wing of the Government force, but the broadswird was no match for the bayonet. Cumberland handled his battle pretty well. Pity about the atrocities which followed. Some of them would have done credit to an SS Einsatzgruppe 200 years later
Isicia omentata I think
Do you know if there is no mention of the Battle of Falkirk? And what is with those terrible and wholly inaccurate AI paintings?????
Very interesting. Have you read the poem Lepanto by GK Chesterton? I might question some of the history in it but the language is memorable. A small bit of history, Cervantes who wrote Don Quixote was in the battle.
Excellent video, thanks. However it is my view that the UK was very lucky that the Stuarts lost otherwise we might have been stuck with an absolute monarch like Kaiser Willhelm II and Tsar Nicholas who contributed significantly to the disaster of WW1 - at least it was up to our parliament, not an incompetend head of state to make the decision.
The Catholic v Protestant excuse was the gloss put on this by the victors, the AngloState. Lord George Murray and most other leaders did not wish to invade England. Their desire was to end the illegal imposition of the Union and put James back on the Scottish throne alone. However, Charles wanted the English throne and England needed to keep Scotland as their colony to help pay their National Debt run up by continual warfare abroad. Hence, Culloden.
People have the impression that it was a Scotland v England battle but there were actually more Scots in the government army than on the Jacobite side including the Lowland and Border regiments as well as many Highland clans opposed to the Jacobite cause
crap !
Plus there was around 500 English jacobites mainly from north west england
Seriously though, it is indeed good that secularism is taking hold and pushing aside the *utter nonsense* of religious dogma. Let's hope that secularism pushes religion *COMPLETELY OUT OF THE PICTURE IN SHORT ORDER!* In other words, *MORE POWER TO THE ATHEISTS!* (7:30)
Of course there's the story of the diminutive mystic who escaped from prison....... She was a *small medium at large!* LOL
I'd have preferred it if you'd used your own voice instead of AI. If you wrote this, you clearly know your stuff. History Buffs won't be upset
Not exactly true many. British ships were lost during a storm afterwards my ancestor Was the. Captain of the leviathan I’m this battle and was the only ship to go unassisted back to England
The only point you need to take away from this battle is the Protestants won over Roman Catholics.
Tripe. This was more than that with many European nations involved,it was political not religious. The Princes army had many Protestants in it.
It was religious. The British government didn't want a catholic on the throne.
Sadly, your ignorance proceeds you. You are wrong. An arrogant. Let me tell u how. The majority of the Jacobite rank an file as well as a lot of its leadership were non juring Episcopalians. Google it right now an see I am correct. You, like so many other arrogant know it alls, blathering the same old govt lies told hundreds of years ago. By 1745 less that 5 percent of Scotland was Catholic. This is literally just propaganda pushed by the govt to keep dummies like yourself from discovering the truth. The prince was right. To add insult to injury, I'm an American. Imagine that, an American of Scots decent having to teach a supposed Scotsman his own history. How sad. At least someone cares enough to actually look at the history. Not be lazy an keep repeating what I heard one time.
An also, I'm a protestant. Like the majority of the Jacobite army was in 1745. Protestant.
Even if that is true and l am not questioning you. It would have put a Catholic Monarch on the throne. I have an ancestor who was a Covenanter . There are gravestones in the Auld Kirk in Ayr where l live to them.
How they got all these men to go to their deaths over who would be king. Who cares who is king if you are dead or maimed.
The fact he was born when the Roman Empire existed and was succeeded by the Tudors, whilst dying relatively young, still amazes me
That sounds a lot like Mike Rinders voice. The dude that was high up in Scientology but left it
texting the algorithm to tell it that this channel is too good to have this few of views
Thank you 😊
This has to be one of the absolutely best , well explained videos I've ever seen on any topic. Hats off to everybody involved into making it ❤ One thing I would have added as a topic would be Symbolism as an art movement around that era, which in a way whiteout being mentioned, was explained by the video haha
Thank you. I really enjoy researching and editing the video. Symbolism perhaps should have appeared more in the video but I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
You certainly danced around him being gay. Sinner covers so much.
There's just not enough evidence to definitively say that he was gay. If anything, he was probably bisexual. I didn't mention it as it is just speculation.
Are you positive it is the final stand of the Jacobites? There is still discontent amoung the Scots .
The word Jacobites derives from the Latin for James i.e James II/VI. There may still be discontent among some Scots, but they aren't Jacobites 😊
@historyunboxedofficial oh but it matters not where the name drives from , it's a desire that rumbles in the belly of the man that wants the freedom to be the Scot he has always been .
I doubt they want to put a Stuart back on the throne!
The Gael has influenced the world in many ways,always will do.
Do some research before uploading. Other than his birth date, everything else is wrong.
Which parts are wrong? This is all historical record!
An informative and well presented video. The main suggestion I have is to get rid of the unnecessary background music. The too-loud music detracted enormously from your presentation.
Thank you 😊 There have been quite a few comments on the music, so I have toned it down for the later videos I've done
Take a shot when he says fostering
How drunk did you get? 😂
There is more to their success than just tactics and weaponry. They had personal interest in protecting Roma and their families from barbarians. Julius Caesar wrote about the Gauls, that they had human sacrifice, and one so gruesome that they made a huge wicker effigy of a man that was hollow, and filled it with men , then set it on fire as a sacrifice before they went into battle. They were so depraved that they needed to be destroyed and brought into subjection to civilized people to prevent them from making atrocities upon them. That is motivation enough for an average man to fight. But Rome was more than that, much more. Apostle Paul wrote that the Authority that exists is ordained of God, and everyone must be subject to it, for they are God’s ministers , who don’t bear the sword in vain. Rome was that Authority. God Himself , therefore , provided the authority and the strength to bring the barbaric nations into subjection to Him. That’s why Rome was a light and a supreme power , regardless of the other gods they held .
Uhhh? Not the best skin flick ever but I’ve never never learned more from a stag film…so thanx?
Make it sound jolly rosey!
Of course it wasn't all roses but the period definitely wasn't as grim as it's often made out to be 😊
more of these types would be awesome man
Very nice
keep it up!!!
These people were treated like slaves. I'm so glad I was born in 63 😢
The speed that the industrial revolution happened and all of the social changes meant that legislation couldn't keep up, so there was a lot of exploitation of workers in the first 30-50 years
I do so enjoy a good Historical movie (fiction or nonfiction) that showcases the styles of the time period. This accurately depicts an era I'm sure will never be duplicated, not after people have gotten so used to wearing PJ and slippers to the store! signed ~ a Stuart descendent😊
It really bothers me when historical movies get the style wrong. So many modern films and tv shows have really brown or muted colours when clothing was very colourful as a rule
I think it's the only victory the British Army doesn't honour,especially with what happened in the appalling aftermath.
Sorry bro,why do you have to bring the story to its conclusion even before it started? That has brought to an end all expectations and thrill of watching your video for first timer like me.Iam out !
Sorry about that. I was told in one of my earlier videos that leaving the intro on a cliff hanger was too clickbaitey so I was trying a different way of introducing the video
Most people who are interested will know what happened, it's the run up and reasons for the defeat which are interesting.
The acts of Proscription had nothing to do with the Highland Clearances. The Disarming act and the banning of highland dress for men were an attempt to quell the martial habits of the Highlanders. Dismantling the power of the Clan chiefs aimed at ridding the Highlands of its feudal system . The much later Clearances were a purely economic maneuver by landowners intent on repurposing their land for profit . Sheep paid better than people .
Very true. I didn't mean for it to come across as the Act of Proscription to be linked to the highland clearances. I was just trying to get across the dismantling of the clan culture and highland way of life for the century or so following Culloden
This policy of Cumberland although harsh did what he had hoped. The raids and attacks into England stopped we became Britain and started the greatest time in the history of these isles. Where we got together ended the common worldwide practice of slavery and began the industrial revolution that helped in combating poverty and starvation. The world is a better place because of the events at Culloden.
I am glad you think that was beneficial. Maybe for Little England but not for the unfortunate Scots they slaughtered.
@@JohnMcMartin-pc7rb It was not England v Scotland!
@@marypetrie930 I love winding you unionist’s up. Someone always takes the bait.🏴
@@JohnMcMartin-pc7rb As i said it not only saved many future Scots but also a lot of English Farmers and civilians that the Scots before this loved to terrorize.The life under the UK of both sides improved massively after this joining that only someone who has no idea of before and after could not see it. Don't cry on about the defeat and what happened after, because of course after Scottish victories everyone shook hands and then went for a pint together. Grow up man war was hideous and atrocities occurred from both sides.
@@JamesRooney-li4eu That’s your version of history. I don’t agree with it. 😃🤪
