History Indoors
Приєднався 30 кві 2020
At History Indoors, we bring history… indoors! We host online talks from some of the best historical experts so you can enjoy some of the newest historical ideas from the comfort of your own home.
These talks are for everyone, so they are broad in focus. We aim to reach a range of ages and levels and we won’t bog you down with unnecessary detail or historical theory! (honest!) All you need with you is a willingness to learn something new!
This project was started as a way to bring history to people in isolation from the Corona-virus pandemic. The aim of the project is to bring new and interesting aspects of history to the wider public. Lockdown has not been particularly intellectually stimulating, so we wanted to give people some brain food to enjoy. As researchers in history, these are some of the newest historical ideas.
On this channel we will post recordings of talks already given by our speakers, as well as extras where we talk, chat and explore a subject in more depth.

The end of HistoryIndoors? The role of the historian in the twenty-first century
Sadly, HistoryIndoors is coming to an end after four years of delivering history talks. It has been a rather remarkable ride and we are so very grateful for all the interest that people have given to the project. But reflecting back, the project offers us many insights into the future of history.
In recent times we have been seeing history departments close or get absorbed into other departments; people arguing about the rewriting of history and some people asking me why on earth did I decide to do a history degree?
In this talk, however, Michael will share his thoughts about what the HistoryIndoors project has shown him about the role and purpose of History in our contemporary society, and that in fact it may well have a bright and positive future.
Join him at 7pm as he reflects over the last four years

The Great Rebellion of 1857 in India was the biggest challenge to the British Empire since the American Revolution. In the wake of the uprising, the East India Company's (EIC) governance of India was replaced by crown rule. Almost immediately, commissions were set up in both Britain and India analysing the causes of the Rebellion, which had had a significant military dimension, identifying mili...

Flags And Formalities: The Start of Civil War in England
Переглядів 3549 місяців тому
Although 381 years ago, to this day there are many different viewpoints about when the Civil War in England officially broke out. This brutal conflict - a war without an enemy - has been primarily pegged to 22 August 1642, because on that day, King Charles I raised his royal standard in Nottingham. The anniversary is even marked as 'Nottinghamshire Day'. A formal act, this logically seemed to f...

Ready for her Close-Up: Mary I in Film

Mary I has seldom been the central character of films and television. Most often, Mary comes second to Elizabeth I, to Edward VI, to Henry VIII, and even to Jane Grey Dudley. In productions such as Elizabeth (1998) and even Horrible Histories (Series 3-4) Mary’s role is simplified to her perceived identity as a weak woman ruled by her faith and her husband. Other works, such as The Tudors (2007...

As the Summer of 1914 drew to a close, posters across Great Britain and Ireland declared “Your King and Country Need You”. Field Marshal Lord Kitchener’s call for 100,000 recruits for the British Empire’s ‘New Armies’ was met vigorously by the population of Britain, and by the September 1914 almost half a million men had enlisted. However, not all who answered the call were accepted into “Kitch...

The Legacy of the Terrible and Awful Siege of Colchester 1648

375 years ago, England experienced one of its worst sieges in its history. In 1648 Colchester was sieged by the Parliamentarian forces during the British Civil War which led to residents eating cats and dogs.

The Battle of Maldon
Переглядів 292Рік тому
In August 991, an English army was defeated in battle by a Viking force at Maldon on the Essex coast. The battle was commemorated by an epic poem, which was probably intended as a stinging rebuke to the corruption and ineffectiveness of King Ethelred ‘the Unready’, a king whose rule would be infamous. Central to the drama of the poem is Earl Byrhtnoth, commander of the English army, and his def...

Excellent presentation, I'm really glad I gave it a look as I've learned a few things. I did wonder about life in the Indian Army after the rebellion.
why did you delete Dido Belle's video??
Hey, We are just in the process of reviewing all our past talks to make sure they are copyright okay! We are just finishing the HI project this Tuesday and will hopefully start work on all the old talks making sure they are good to go again :)
Thank you for sharing this presentation. It seems nothing much has changed on the railways at least since the 1930's. Zach's comment that public transport should be pleasant to travel on as well as practical made me smile... wouldn't that be a nice thing to experience??
Where’s your other videos on Eurasian history? Looks like it’s been removed.
Thanks for your message! We are currently just going through old videos to check referencing and the like. They will be back soon :)
@@HistoryIndoorsNoted. Your videos has taught me so much about my roots. Thank you.
Wife of the Conqueror, Matilda, is a descendant of Alfred through Margaret, but that is seldom mentioned as part of their claim to the throne, and it should be, though it’s unpopular to mention anything positive like a Wessex connection to their reign.
Deguingand wasn't at the St Paul meetings IKE,Churchill,Patton, Miles Dempsey all heard his empty promises
Monty stated he would take it in 1 day your opinion presenter is irrelevant.Then he starts his horseshit Oh I'm holding down the Germans. It's obvious the British History treats it's readers like mushrooms - kept in the dark and fed shit Monty wasn't pulling shyt,the Gerries were already there for the road network and the airfield. Bernard they already drove into the channel and if not for the heaviest bombing of the Normandy campaign and Naval guns off shore - would have been Dunkirked again
Mikey you need to stop cracking open beers and start with your 3500 books
Truth that's what
Watching from Wisconsin USA. Very interesting! Look forward to more from you in the future. I watch a lot of archaeology vids, and you are good at doing this.
Watching from middle Tennessee, USA. Intriguing finds you have made. It's great that you've found something so close to your home to investigate and share with others. Best of luck with your PhD studies. Thank you for sharing.
brilliant, Diolch!

D'Este did not just say The British had 'bags of soldiers left' 1:08:00 but rather he openly wrote that Churchill was deliberately 'hiding' soldiers in the UK to avoid sending them into France and this was to further Imperial ambitions after the war was over. In effect the claim was that The British were letting the Americans do most of the fighting. Stephen Hart did a comprehensive demolition of D'Este's lies in his book 'Colosal Cracks' (Praeger 2000) Chapter 3 'Casualty Conservation' page 49
1:01:26.. The reason for the 'GOODWOOD 500 tank-losses' claim is much simpler. The SINGLE source for this number is the post war Battlefield Paper(CAB 44/249,) that has a detailed casualty report in Appendix B for 'Casualties-GOODWOOD/ATLANTIC 18/21 July 44' that is sourced from 'MORU Report No. 23 Battlefield Study Operation GOODWOOD October 1946'. The problem is that a) the source report has a simple error where the first days casualties are counted twice and b) its the total of all tank casualties 18-21 July on all fronts of all the operations. Casualties are not total losses. A detailed account exposing this error can be found in Napier's 'Armoured Campaign In Normandy (Casemate 2015) chapter 7 from page 228. The 500 tank-loss figure for GOODWOOD is completely bogus.
At 36:13 an important fact is skipped over. Bradley was supposed to start COBRA whilst GOODWOOD was in play. It was going to be a two-stage attack where Monty would move first and Bradley a day (or two, cant pin it down) later COBRA would start. The delay was because the air force could not 'carper-bomb' both attack avenues at once so they needed to stagger it. However Bradley got stuck at St Lo and was unable to start his attack as promised. Monty accepted his excuses and allowed him to delay his part of the attack and went ahead on his own. The weather was not the reason Badley delayed COBRA because he had already told Monty he could not get to his start line before the rains started on July 20th. Perhaps if Bradley had not been 'too slow' and 'too catious' then we would have had a breakthrough earlier. It is strange how Bradley's failure to support his commander never gets a mention.
Excellent presentation, entertaining and thought provoking in equal measure.

Excellent talk Mark, apologies for not seeing it live. I found your observation that little was done at the time of the 35th's establishment to how the division was to be sustained once battle was joined. I think the same could be said regarding the modern day British Army as a whole. As for the Bantam's, so for the British Army of the 2020's. The more things change, eh??
Fantastic visuals, great story

Thank you for bringing to light a brilliant man that any nation should be proud to call one of their own. Having read "Robert Blake Admiral and General at sea by William Dixon 1852, your discussion helped flesh out many nuances I had about the book. Could get to you recommend another book to read?

Thanks for the talk. I descend from Margaret. I knew nothing about her.
Many thanks for your comment and glad you enjoyed the talk!
That's cool sue5158. I just found out in the past few months that I am one of her descendants also.
Fascinating and enjoyable talk, thank you. I first heard about Margaret through genealogical research so good to learn more about her life and her legacy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed the video, I have excavated several places inside the eastern half of the Roman city over the past 30 years ( sadly the western half is privately owned by lord verulam, who has destroyed much of the archaeology bc he refused to stop ploughing until 2005 when the public asked an MP to help stop the destruction caused by deep ploughing, lumps of mosaic & other parts of building foundations had been dragged from subsoil in situ up to the surface of the topsoil. Lord verulam was paid to stop ploughing. He could've left that part as set aside, but the family didn't care about the history or damage they had caused. Thankfully the park protects the eastern half. The only reason the theatre remains is because its not easy to flatten & plough , plus it earns them money, he charges people to visit the theatre. :/
