Hey guys. Welcome to History Time. I'm just one dude making these videos and they take a massive amount of time so please don't forget to like and subscribe if you enjoyed the content and let me know in the comments what you'd like to see covered in the future!
Please, call the Turkic people Turk in your videos. I have noticed that you are also dividing the Turkic world by naming each of them diffrently. Turkic people are the genetic descendants of ancient steppe people of Eurasia (East Europe and Central Asia) such as Huns, Xiongnu, Bulgars, Khazars, Oghuz, Pechenegs, Cumans, Scythians, Sarmatians, Massagetes, Cimmerians, Tocharians, Ephthalites (White Huns), Alans, Eurasian Avars, Juanjuans etc.
Have you done William Wallace or Robert the Bruce?
So any of the knightly orders that operated hospitals would be cool if you haven’t done them. I work in the medical field and it’s a bit of an interesting topic imo
Well done
@@oghuzkhan5117 I thought Alans were a scandinavian tribe
As always you shed light on some of the more obscure stories of our past. You have a real gift for it.
Thanks! Appreciate it
@@HistoryTime - Hope you can make a living wage out of this gig eventually - best of luck and regards from Canada
Could you do a video on Brian Boru next, this one was perfect!
Of course. 100%. Not quite yet though. Hopefully by the end of the year.
@@HistoryTime
:'D It's been, 84 years...
I look forward to the Brian Boru video!
English people never get irish pronunciations right
@@n4s98 no one really does. Americans can be equally bad at it
Following the story of Flann Sinna was a good choice. Irish history is awesome
It really is! And there is so much of it.
That's debatable, if your Irish, lol
History took a toll on "my People" 🍀
Very dramatic history that you rarely hear about people tend to just think the famine onwards
@@bethbartlett5692Why put "my people" in quotes? Irish went through stuff, so what? You know Persians and Medes(both Iranic) were oppressed centuries? They carved empires after. Btw: follow strong Irish men and no more silly comments.
My mother was Irish American and loved the history and the music.She would have loved this video. Thank you
Nice to hear a bit about the irish
And there is so much more on the way :)
This is the first time I have heard a fully comprehensive telling of the history of Ireland. There seems to be a blackout where Irish history is concerned. Thank you for this presentation. I'll be re-watching this many times because of all the content. I hope you will take each of High King and do some more videos giving us as much information about each period as possible. It's also very interesting to hear the Irish names for people, places, and things. This video was/is a real educative experience. I am 3/4 Irish, yet I speak English, know more about English history, and have more of an English worldview than ever I know about Ireland.
Fascinating . Ireland is def on my bucket list. Nice work as always on your video!
Its an incredible place. Can't recommend enough.
@Upgrayedd our culture ain't going anywhere buddy, don't worry 😉
Upgrayedd good to see the the fearmongering xenophobic logic is still kicking strong, enjoy being on the wrong side of history, our culture can only be strengthened by new additions
@Upgrayedd 800 years of British occupation couldn't get rid of our culture.
@Upgrayedd how so?
These vids are simply superb - a serious step above nearly every other history channel with an ancient / medieval focus. Its also noticeable in the last few months the production values (which were always standout) have improved. You deserve so many more subscribers - keep it up. Whoever chooses your music also has a real talent for it. Not trying to kiss a** but I feel I am overdue in stating this.
Really appreciate the kind words. Everything on the channel is me. I'm a one man band so to speak.
I recommend checking out History with Hilbert as well.
I can see why they viewed other Irish as being more dangerous than the Norsemen. The other Irish are far more closer to them, and can present a bigger threat than someone who would have to have more soldiers/supplies shipped in.
Yep. Pretty much. Also far longer lasting enmities lasting for centuries between various clans and kingdoms.
As an Irish man deeply in history you have taught me something new, I have never herd of Flann Sinna until now
Just so you know 'dh' and 'th' are silent in Irish so Donnchadh is pronounced approximately [thun-kha]. Finnliath is [fin-leeah]. Conchobar is actually [kun-oor]. Oh and Uí Néill is [ee-nail].
I do realise that Irish pronunciation is very difficult if you aren't familiar with the language. Just trying to help improve the channel if I can.
Is that the Irish of today, or the Irish of AD 900?
Sin é, maith fear. Maith thú
David Weihe Irish of today
@David Weihe: Irish of today. Hard to tell what pronunciation was like in 900, if I understand correctly.
Edit: Spelling
I’ve been learning Irish since I was 4 and didn’t even know that XD. But that’s just the quality of Irish education in Dublin.
Great video. Irish history is so interesting. It's the only place in Europe that wasn't touched by Rome. So much history and warfare.
You're forgetting Scandinavia. And northern Scotland. And most of Germania. And most of eastern Europe.
It is super fascinating.
Not 'touched' by Rome is not strictly true.
Well, you could be a pedantic bugger and suggest that Rome did touch Ireland, what with Catholicism and all...
I'm sure that's true, but Ireland did take up Catholicism, and so Rome kind of touched Ireland.
But as I said, I was being super-pedantic and cheeky; I agree with what's meant by the original post. @Billy McCarthy
I’d kill for a show on the scale of Vikings or The last kingdom about early medieval Ireland.
definitely , vikings is filmed in wicklow , im currently watching season 4 of the last kingdom the history is very interesting . i think brian borus story has enough material for a netflix series/film
I know, right
Great, your documentaries are so much better produced than discovery type stuff. I’ve watched the one on the brocks a good 4 times.
Really appreciate your kind words. thanks very much
It’s amazing how active all these people were
Not much to do without Netflix !
Yeah I guess so, can u only imagine how mystic of a time this was, I wish I could go back to observe it all :D
You’re channel brings me closer to this dream , thank you history time! & GREETINGS FROM THE SMALL EXOTIC ISLAND UTOPIA OF NEWFPUNDLAND RH LABRADOR TY
It seems like in the early Middle Ages, raw ruling class engaged in a lot of hi risk/high reward politics. Falnn was reduced to almost nothing, but through willpower, luck and ruthlessness, he clawed his way to the top. Then, because his sons kept on dying, it all slipped away with his death. This gives the Early Middle Ages a tragic, dramatic narrative that is a little less so in the high Middle Ages.
You are officially my most anticipated channel on UA-cam. I think I scanned through all your videos twice in the past two weeks to find a video I hadn't watched. Keep 'em coming man!
Thanks so much for watching. Much more on the way!
Glad to see you are getting more subs, you deserve so much more. You are one of the best history channels around in my opnion.
Always a good thing to see a new video from you. I have become a great fan.
Thanks so much. Really appreciate you checking out the channel!
I applaud your work, exceptional skill in parsing the information to a manageable time, and pray that you continue this grand historical parade of our past. I look forward each week to your next lesson. Thank you for sharing your great story telling ability with us. Tarah!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it. There is so much more on the way !
Fantastic video and channel my friend. Keep up the great work
I love this, thank you! There’s so much information about the rulers of England and pre-England, but not very much about Ireland that’s entertaining as well as informative the way this one is , thank you
Another brilliant upload. Keep up the good work!!
Great vid thanks
I haven't watched it yet but i know as always, the content will be awesome! Thank you!
Thanks mate appreciate it!
@@HistoryTime I was right. This video is golden. re-watching for second time. Please more Irish, Scottish, and (if you can find) Picitish history. The way you deliver content is so awesome. Someday, I promise, I will support you monetarily.
Exceptional work.
Thankyou my friend. Appreciate it
I typed Irish Kingdoms in the You Tube search bar and was delighted to see you had a video. Will comment after I listen but glad it was an option
Great Channel ! Glad I found it. All by yourself. Respect !
Your videos on medieval Gaelic Ireland are fantastic
Great video!
Thanks so much!
Your videos are a treasure.
Thanks so much!
There s definitely a couple of movies or TV series in this
Absolutely
When one sees The Last Kingdom on Netflix this begs for similar treatment.
it will require a great author to write the books first ;) else the series' would be a mess
@@conlaiarla absolutely, especially if Bernard Cornwell ever decided to chronicle the life of Finan, :D
@@PerryTribeMetalBaker 100% ! I've read everything Cornwell ever wrote and without doubt he would be the one to do our history justice.
Great video, thank you!
This was a really good one, very fascinating to learn about this.
Thank you for the effort
Wonderful! Thank you very much
Thanks so much for watching !
Love your videos ,,fascinating stories of Europe's rich history ,every country and its people amazing tales 👍👍
Excellent video. Cheers, good Sir.
Thanks so much for watching!
First one of these that I've watched but I don't think it will be the last brilliant bit of history and it's good to find out a bit of Irish history bud thank you
Thanks for watching friend!
Thank you for this, great work...cheers
Thanks buddy!
Love the content. Just wanted to type this before I watched the video
Thanks so much! Appreciate it
I love this podcast !!!
I just found out while doing my family genealogy that Flann Sinna mac Mael Sechnall is my 32 great grandfather. I am amazed.
Amazing!
Oh yeah? Well he's my Stepdad
We're and how did you find that out, have you come across greene,surname??
@@derekgreene2304 Greenes are common all across New England and Quebec. That wouldn't help as the best documentation for Greenes in Geneology are Swamp Yankee/Native American mixed, and Greene is also a Northern French/Quebecois name of French Origin. He probably just heard through a family member
Really, what documentation evidence do you have? Most Scottish document get extremely rare before the 16oos
I love seeing all the thumbs up.your channel deserves it.thank you.
I look forward every week to fhese videos
Thanks so much. Appreciate it.
Great video, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all you do. . I have traced these kings back on my family tree:)
I have always enjoyed your videos. Although I am an American of Norse bloodline I have always had a fascination with Ireland.
I would love to see videos of pagan Ireland and the conversion to christianity.
Very much appreciated and enjoying your channel my ancestors are from O hEachaidh Dal Fiatach dynasty first high kings of Ireland, Hoy Island spelled Haey Norse, amazing looking back and today we have all come along way.
Great channel.
Really loving these histories.
The next time you're doing an Irish one, I'd be more than happy to give you a pronunciation primer on the names and placenames. Irish is a living language and these names are all still in current use. I have to say that I've winced at your attempts to pronounce nost of them!
I wish the History Channel were this good.
i've been waiting for a Flann video ever since Thrones of Britannia came out lmao (Total War for the win)
More on the way !
I love listening to your voice.
You guys are amazing
Ireland looks suprisingly much like Eriador the region in northwest of Tolkiens Middle Earth. For example hence this: Eire, Eiri, Eri, Eria, Eriador.
Also derived from the word aryan
@@josephmcbloggs8447
No, Éire derives from Proto-Celtic: Iweriyu which means "abundant, fat land".
@Michael Halligan
Éire - Modern Irish
Ériu - Old Irish
Iweriu - Primitive Irish
Iweriyu - Proto-Celtic
@Michael Halligan.., I would not exactly say plagiarized. That's sounds to me as if J.R.R. Tolkien stole it. Which I think he didn't.
The part of Middle Earth in which the events of Tolkien's Legendarium took place, corresponds largely to the British Isles as a whole.
With Eriador being the whole of Ireland (this includes Northern Ireland) with the exception of Southern Ireland. Rhovanion being the North of England. Forodwaith being Scotland. Gondor being Southern Ireland South Wales and a part of Western England. Rohan being North Wales and also a part of Western England. Mordor being the Midlands East Anglia Norfolk and Suffolk in the East of England. Khand being Kent (the Southeast of England). Rhûn being a part of Northern England east of Yorkshire and north of Norfolk nowadays at the bottom of the sea. Harondor being the part between South Wales and Cornwall (the Channel of Bristol). Dumbar being Cornwall. Nearby Harad being Southern England and the English Channel (La Manche for the French). And last but not least Far Harad being Normandy and Bretagne (France).
@@FritsGerlich07 Eire means encumbered or burden. Éire is the word for Ireland,.
Great channel - kudos!
Very interested in the little spoken about "Battle of Conwy" between Gwynedd (won) and Mercia (lost) in 881. The outcome likely played significant role in unification of Wessex and Mercia, thus allowing England to rise as a nation and in doing so paving way to modern day Britain and modern times.
Hell of a time to be alive if you were a peace-loving person. It's hard to believe that these tribes never sickened of war. Does taking life become addictive?
There was little choice if you desired Independence and Freedom.
Irish were warriors since more than a 1000 years.
This is freaking cool!
Good stuff
As an Irishman, I am ashamed to say that much of this is new to me. On a critical note though, your pronunciation, or more appropriately, mispronunciation, of many of the Irish names mentioned here is very humourous, to say the least. Otherwise, very informative and interesting so a 👍 from me.
You need to name the boyos properly
The Anglo Version of Ireland, keep the Fake Irish happy.
The story of Viking Special is interesting, when they were captured they were boiled alive, their screams kept other Viking at bay.
As an Irishman it's great to see you covering some Irish history. Your content gets better and better. Can't wait for the Brian Boru video.
well done!
Great stuff, Very informative.
Would it be possible to do a piece on pre-celtic Ireland? There seems to be a lot of nothing on the subject.
Thanks!
Do you mean pre Indo European Ireland as in late Neolithic period or pre Celtic, early Bronze age? The first Indo Europeans might have spoken a early western European Centrum type language that later split into Celtic/Germanic/Italic dialects & languages. That's what the Indo European barrow burials around Stonehenge suggest with latest DNA research.
Wonderful
Thank you
Fascinating
my farthers family is swiss can you go a series on the history of that country to please.
I think you are the first English person I have ever heard say Meath properly!
Take a bow,sir!
Great video!
The history of the Gaels is such an interesting topic, full of the bitterest infighting.
I would love to see a video how this infighting continued onward in later eras, and how it began to change following the arrival of the French in 1066. I would also love to know how Gael infighting impacted the campaigns of the Frankish Lords in the High Middle Ages in claiming Irish land, and how 'Normanisation' impacted Gaelic society.
Which High King is next? Brian Boru, Gudrod Crovan, Magnus Barefoot, Henry II?
The Norman’s went to England on 1066. They came to Ireland in 1169
I couldn't get this to play for some reason!
I haven't watched your videos for a while. My parents are going to take a trip to Ireland, so we needed to watch something on Ireland. I like how you use the double exposures. I am curious, do you use stock footage of all the nature shots, or do you have a drone and film your own material for that?
I am a direct descendant of Flann Sinna by his daughter Gormflaith Ingen Flainn Sinna Mac Aedh (Ó Colmáin), Queen of Tara. She is my 31st paternal GGM. (She also married Cormac mac Mothla, King Of The Dessi.) It is quite helpful to gain an understanding of those ancient ancestors. His son's didn't fare well, did they?
very good
Its important to remember that their is a difference between the Scandinavian settlers and the Scandinavian raiders(Vikings). At that time lots of Scandinavians had settled into Ireland, married raised families. We also have Irish Vikings at that time (foreign Gael) who were probably just as bad as the Vikings or worse.
I love Irish names.
The music is unsettling
Aghhhh i Know the way youre saying Uí Néill is wrong but it sounds so nice that i need to give it active thought for it to not take over and replace the correct pronunciation
And his name is Flann Sinna!!!
Like your videos!
Please do a video on the Huns, they are the most misunderstood people on earth. Their culture, their ethnicity , are now being contested both by Hungary and trykey, cebtral Asian people and even some Germans , during the ww1 the western Europeans used to term Germans as savage hunnic people, Germanic kings and nobles also used to wear pickle helmets.
Presidential Seal of Turkey has a large 16-pointed star (the Sun, symbolizing the Republic of Turkey) in the center, which is surrounded by 16 five-pointed stars, symbolizing only the 16 Great Turkish Empires out of many in history.

There are many videos on the way about the Huns. The time of the Hunnic Empire is one of my favourite eras.
@@oghuzkhan5117 I am pretty certain the huns were not a Turkic people.
Fantastic delivery of information although the pronunciation of a few names and words leave a little to be desired of. Well done sir.
You can play as Flann Sinna in Crusader Kings 2 thats cool think I will give it a go
All good. T'would be the cherry on top to hear you say his surname name correctly once and Uí Néil too 😉
Any recommendations for information on Tiernan Ua Ruiarc?
What a magnificent entangled mess!
The best history!
When will you make a video about Brian Boru?
Wonderful video. Who were the High Kings at 800 AD?
BLOOD MAY BE THICKER, but it is also naturally hot. *Physical proximity* breeds greater contempt, because distant rivals don't come in contact as often. And you are more likely to be in a contest for many things with someone near you. Hence, brothers attach brothers. Fratricide and regicide happen often in powerful clans and families.
Think. Despite Western Europe's brutal conquest of the Pacific, Africa and the America's, you find just as much brutality on contintent - so intense, so persistent, so widespread. It's hard to believe they now enjoy porous borders with each other.
my family from my grandfather's Howell that are welsh are
Decdents to Conn Cétchathach ("of the Hundred Battlesson of Fedlimid Rechtmar, was, according to medieval Irish legendary and annalistic sources, a High King of Ireland, and the ancestor of the Connachta, and, through his descendant Niall Noígiallach, the Uí Néill dynasties, which dominated Ireland in the early Middle Ages, and their descendants.
Your voice was made for narration, Pete.
Vikings - let’s outright conquer Anglo-Saxon kingdoms! Vikings - let’s settle river outposts and intermingle with the Gaels!! Lmao
You should do videos on the Hundred Years’ War as there are no documentaries other than that BBC art one to do it justice. Love the dark age stuff though.
I'd love to get there eventually
I’m Irish American , all Irish ancestry. This is a good opportunity to learn of my ancestors .
Maybe a video on Mael Sechbnaill Mac Máel ruanaid. Who drowned Turgeis/ Torgest
Is there any info about the cheiftan o'rothlaine of coolcarney?
I wouldn't say that Boru was making up the hatred that the Irish had for Scandinavians. Most kings in general don't have any nationalistic sentiment and are solely focused on acquiring power. The sentiment of the Irish tribesmen would have been different from that of the elite. Obviously it was very highly possible that Boru himself was using the feelings of the Irish for his own goals, so the "Norsophobia" does makes sense.
I've probably watched this 3 times.
Where is that left hand point break at 8.29?
Why are Irish History and Irish related Documentaries so sparse on UA-cam?
Only the very general, British Produced Videos seem to be what's available.
Any references appreciated.
Thanks!

It's really obscure and big channels are afraid about covering it or something like that.
