- Episode 3 of the Channel Five series Kings & Queens, which looks at the life and reign of Edward I of England also known as "Longshanks".
The series looks at key monarchs in the history of England and gives some simplified facts about their reigns. This is a good series for those who have little prior knowledge of English history.
"A most excellent idea, sire."
"IS IT?"
6’2” during medieval times is absolutely gigantic.
Not necessarily
Very true,with the poor diet of the common people must have towered over them.
You are correct. 6 foot 2 in medieval times would have been a giant. You only have to look at medieval door ways which are low.

Ah classic
Hahaha
"Who is this person who speaks to me as thou I needed his advice!"

Never happened!

Who is this person that speaks to me as though I needed his advice?
omg I was going to comment this, lol
Phillip: I am skilled in the arts of war and military tactics, Sire.
Longshanks: Are you?
Lmao. Best longshanks scene
Loved that scene. Longshanks was a total boss in braveheart.
"Send in the Irish they cost nothing"
Beg your pardon but won't we hit our own troops?
"Yes but we will hit theirs as well"
"who is this person that speaks to me like i needed his "... History lesson.
Arguably England's greatest King, bloody minded, ruthless, he knew what it took to be a King.
+Woody Long Dark ages, not medieval era. He was the King of Wessex not England.
Arn Arn I have no problem with the Jewish faith, it's not those people that wish to change England.
I'm English, not Jewish or a dog, and unlike you I don't have to use foul language to express myself. But you enjoy yourself.
Where are you from my friend?
Cornwall, Manchester myself, interesting.

Nice reference. 👍

Begging ur pardon sire .won't we hit our own troops yes but we'll hit there s as well
I have declared Philip my High Counselor.
@@Zer0Mercy83 Is he qualified?!?
Patrick Mcgoohan was absolutely amazing as king longshanks.
I simply could not believe it is the same actor playing the Doctor in Cronenberg's Scanners
Me too,
He was Longshanks.
Sign of a great actor!
Stephan Dillane was a pretty good Longshanks in Outlaw King. Mcgoohan was on another level though.
He always plays A B-----D IN FILMS
He was scary as fuck 😢
Arrows cost money, send the Irish, the dead cost nothing.
A white tower kind of noble person I assume full with ancient tradition truly, a prince or a queen of the elderly, fairy stories.
Sadly, movies like Braveheart have demonised Longshanks and made him look evil. He was not "evil" at all, but actually a great king for the times they lived in.
You're a fucking clown.
@@stevenwatson9082 no
He kicked out a small tribe
Actually Braveheart made him look like a boss. Mel Gibson himself said that he recognized he was a great king and wanted to show him as charismatic and intelligent.
Wasnt evil wat drugs are you on today he was a mass murderer ask berwick
"Who is this who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?"
I love the way u explain sir , and instead of a long video ur idea of dividing it into 3 sections is indeed remarkable....thank u so much sir🥰🥰
"The trouble with Scotland is that it's full of Scotts!" Lol
Abdo Raib He is quoting Edward Longshanks from the movie Braveheart.
trouble in england is they robbed it and got there ass fu,,,hed in scotland 1315 now even the irish beat them was i glad grand slam haaaf uck english
my 22nd Great grandfather. Researched by my mother who studied History at Oxford.
Which means your 23rd great grandfather is Henry III and so on. BTW now is a good time to claim the throne. The ancestors current occupants were kinda parachuted in from Germany so Parliament could have a wholly Protestant royal fam after Queen Anne died. Parliament skipped over 50 better hereditary claimants to make George I King. I'll support your claim if ya make it.
@@petah-peoplefortheendlesst4668 TBH, where the heck would you start.... LOL... would probably be knocked off by secret service... :)
You should be crowned King Robert I.....
Same breh welcome to the family out great granddaddy
This was when being the monarch actually meant something.
Edward was such a great man
i am his relative
Tony - I am also related to him - he is a 20th Great Grand Uncle. I am also directly related to the DeBrus/the Bruce dynasties.
"The enemy has rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-outed our garrison!"
I really love Ireland Scotland and English histories I can watch read listen to it al day long, have a huge respect for the people back in the days.
King's Advisor : Milord, the princess might be taken hostage or her life be put in jeopardy.
Longshanks : Oh, my son would be most distressed by that. Uh, but in truth, if she were to be killed, we would soon find the king of France a useful ally against the Scots. You see, as king, you must find the good in any situation.
One thing I want to clarify (since I'm very interested in crusades) - Jerusalem was actually restored to Christian rule in 1229 and lost again in 1244. So it was not lost since Saladin. Prince Edward went on a crusade after loss of Antioch in 1268. 🤔
VERY well done(all 3 parts)!
Bravo!
[No wonder his Queen died fairly young at 49...fifteen children! Good Lord! She must've been one heckuva lady!]
And had a pussy like the Holland Tunnel .....
this is real life tywin lannister
Apparently it was the infamous Hashashins that attempted to assassinate Edward when he was on crusade in Jerusalem.
These videos are amazing. As an irishman why do I have such passion for the history of the old enemy? It is the only reason I watched game of thrones which turned out to be the greatest show of all time, the plantagenets are like the targaryens without dragons, I am now reading asoiaf for the second time. This is all due to my lifelong fascination with English history.
Game of thrones is not the greatest shoe of all time.
@@justincredible9556 well that's ur opinion, obviously I think it is and the exquisite writing of GRRM and the medieval setting simply add to the allure.
@@justincredible9556 and Wich one is dude?
I think Edward is the basis of Tywin actually, or at least his back story is.
@Luqman Osman naw sure season 6 is the best season they ever made
Edward I would be a terrifying assassin's creed boss fight.
One of the best Kings England had!
Henry V
Eddie Goteman except he wasn't English
Eddie Goteman - I would agree. In 1290 Edward 1 kicked the Jews out of England because they were sucking the country dry through usury (loaning money at interest). He also banned all usury and replaced it with the interest-free tally stick for government expenditures. From that time on that's when England began to really prosper. In 1647 Cromwell sold England out by making a deal with the Jews to finance his revolt against King Charles. For their "services" they were let back in along with the right to practice their usury again. Cromwell also plotted with the Jews to put Charles (who was actually a good king) on trial and have him executed. Charles was beheaded in 1649. In about 40 years the Jews had England in massive debt to them and they've been in control ever since. They are the reason for England's demise today.
Eric H. - I don't "wonder" anything, I research. What I stated is historical fact period. Of course, it is impossible to fully demonstrate in this format but will list some starting material to aid you in your obviously much needed research. Refer to the following letter from Cromwell to Pratt:
Cromwell To Ebenezer Pratt of the Mulheim Synagogue in Amsterdam, 16th June 1647:
- “In return for financial support will advocate admission of Jews to England: This however impossible while Charles living. Charles cannot be executed without trial, adequate grounds for which do not at present exist. Therefore advise that Charles be assassinated, but will have nothing to do with arrangements for procuring an assassin, though willing to help in his escape.” -
To Oliver Cromwell From Ebenezer Pratt, 12th July 1647:
- “Will grant financial aid as soon as Charles removed and Jews admitted. Assassination too dangerous. Charles shall be given opportunity to escape: His recapture will make trial and execution possible. The support will be liberal, but useless to discuss terms until trial commences.”
Also refer to the following which you can find on Henry Makow's website:
"It was fated that England should be the first of a series of Revolutions, which is not yet finished."
With these cryptic words, Isaac Disraeli, father of Benjamin Earl of Beaconsfield, commenced his two-volume life of Charles I, published in 1851.
The origin of the modern world and the New World Order can be traced to the English Revolution 1641-1660 and consequently the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688, when the Illuminati Jewish bankers established a foothold in England and made it their instrument for world domination.
Here is the website where the above is taken from: www.henrymakow.com/illuminatibankersorganizedtheenglish.html
Finally, I do not lump all Jews in the same boat. In fact, the information I've just shown is coming from Jewish sources. A lot of Jews are unaware, let alone support, certain Jews plans and execution for world domination. Still, this remains a fact and there has always been good Jews who have tried to expose this. Confer for example Benjamin H. Freedman, Myron Fagan, and Israel Shahak just to name a few. As for what Hitler "did" that's a whole other area.
Difficult Journey Excellent feedback my friend. Thanks for the information. Now MY curiosity is through the roof. I'll definitely look into David Irving. Thanks again. 😊
That's interesting. Today, people want the crown, even if it's not legitimate. He didn't want it until it was completely earned. I wonder if it was him alone that though this way, or if it was common thinking.
6' 2" in the Middle Ages? Edward could probably crush his enemies just stepping on them :)
My 20th great grandfather..I loved watching this story..here I am living a wonderful life in America thanks to my ancestors and King James
scottish rebels have rrrrrrrrrrr-routed one of my garrisons
Definitely one of our greatest medieval kings, but he was also, a right nasty piece of work.His behaviour at the Battle of Evesham showed his horrible, nasty streak,chasing down a group of fleeing innocent civilians to murder them. . I wouldn't have liked to have met him. The Scots made a big mistake in asking him to arbitrate on choosing the right candidate for the Scottish throne. Although I fully agree Edward was a right, nasty piece of work and the Scots eventually fought their way to freedom, there was cruelty on all sides.Interestingly, King Edward the Third received a great payment from the Scots, to acknowledge their independence.
It's good to know, we are loyal friends to each other now. :)
Eddy the third was the better king
I was fucking awesome!
+King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England Me too!
+King Edward "Longshanks" I, Hammer of the Scots, Lord of Wales and King of England Yes, yes you were, grandfather.
your heraldry is a dragon
Jerry Watkins you missed King of France as in those times England controlled half of france
Thank you for uploading! Glad I caught this.
Excellent series; I wish more programs like this aired in the U.S., as I love European history -- primarily British.
my 24th great grandfather......and grandmother, Edward & Eleanor! This was very interesting
Curious why Longshanks was Edward the First, when Edward the Confessor was two hundred odd years earlier.
PtolemyJones because Edward the confessor was a bastard
Actually not, I discovered on my own that the numbering convention begins with William the Conqueror (also a Bastard!) and no king before him is counted.
Edward´s father, Henry III was a particularly pious individual and not particularly warlike. To him, Edward the Confessor was what a king should be, not a warrior adventurer like William I and his ilk. Plus, using an old Anglo-Saxon name was a big F-You to a court still heavily influenced by the French. Henry might not have been the strongest King but King he was - and was determined to show that he had a mind of his own
PtolemyJones They're counting from William Conqueror, right? Willie, Willie, Harry, Ste etc....
Edward I (17/18 June 1239 - 7 July 1307), also known as Edward Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots (Latin: Malleus Scotorum), was King of England from 1272 to 1307. Before his accession to the throne, he was commonly referred to as The Lord Edward. He spent much of his reign reforming royal administration and common law. Through an extensive legal inquiry, Edward investigated the tenure of various feudal liberties, while the law was reformed through a series of statutes regulating criminal and property law. Increasingly, however, Edward's attention was drawn towards military affairs.
As the first son of Henry III, Edward was involved early in the political intrigues of his father's reign, which included an outright rebellion by the English barons. In 1259, he briefly sided with a baronial reform movement, supporting the Provisions of Oxford. After reconciliation with his father, however, he remained loyal throughout the subsequent armed conflict, known as the Second Barons' War. After the Battle of Lewes, Edward was hostage to the rebellious barons, but escaped after a few months and joined the fight against Simon de Montfort. Montfort was defeated at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, and within two years the rebellion was extinguished. With England pacified, Edward joined the Ninth Crusade to the Holy Land. The crusade accomplished little, and Edward was on his way home in 1272 when he was informed that his father had died. Making a slow return, he reached England in 1274 and was crowned at Westminster on 19 August.
If we can’t get them out, we’ll breed them out.
i guess thats what the muslims are doing now in your homecountryxD
Simon deMontfort built the first concert hall in England in Leicester. U2, Big Country, the Pogues and the Scorpions all played there in their time.
The movie Braveheart was reported as being “fantastic” with excellent battle scenes by a Portland associate of the American Front who also happens to be a Scot. The start of the movie was in 1280 AD during the reign of King Edward the First of England. During this time in history, Scotland was fighting for its independence from England. It must have been evident to even the most unbiased person that the character Edward I was slandered heavily, and the Scots were made to appear to be without fault and to be the innocent victims (and they were to an extent) of a tyrannical English king. Throughout the movie, the King of England was never referred to as “Edward I,” “King Edward,” “King Edward I” or with any such title of respect but was always referred to using his birth name - Edward Longshanks.King Edward I was shown to be ruthless and cruel to both friend and foe. He was made to appear to not have a kind bone in his body. He lied and deceived Scots and then he was killed them in horrible ways. He threw his homosexual son’s (King Edward the Second’s) male lover out a Tower of London window (but not because the future king was an ass bandit). When the homosexual Prince Edward indicated reluctance to impregnate his teenage wife, Isabella, the Princess of Wales, King Edward I muttered something to the effect that he might have to do that himself. To add insult to injury, King Edward, in the final battle of the movie, ordered his archers to shoot arrows into the mass of Scots and the Irish who were fighting for him, saying to his shocked field officer that this was okay because backup was available! Certainly, any movie being produced in Jew-controlled, queer-controlled Hollywood will not promote a person unfriendly to Jewish interests such as Adolf Hitler or King Edward I. Thus, King Edward I was given the “Hitler treatment” by the Hollywood movie producers of Braveheart. With the influence the Hollywood movie industry has on the minds of the public, we suspect that if the public were to be convinced that King Edward I was crazy, then there would he no public protest regarding England’s obvious disobeyance of King Edward l’s Royal Edict of 1290 which bans all Jews from England (and Aquitania, a former English territory which the English no longer have). Although the mass mailing of the Jul/Sep ‘94 NSV Report to the English newsmedia and Parliament did not generate any response to date regarding Lady Birdwood’s trial or the illegal proceedings against her, the timing of the production of the movie Braveheart indicates to us that world Jewry is very much concerned about Lady Birdwood’s case.Edward the First by T. F. Tout (Twelve English Statesmen, Macmillan & Company, Ltd., London, 1893, 229 pages) is a rare book and no longer in print. The Micropaedia Brittanica on page 375 in summing up the life of Edward I states, “Tout’s Edward the First (1893) is still the best biography of the king.” The Micropaedia Brittanica serves as a brief guide to subjects which are reviewed in detail in the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. The king’s life is discussed in 13 chapters: I - Early years (1239-1258); II - Edward and the Barons’ Wars (1258-1267); III - Edward as a Crusader (1268-1272); IV - The King and His Work (1272-1307); V - Edward’s Continental Policy (1272-1289); VI - The Conquest and Settlement of the Principality of Wales (1274-1301); VII - Edward’s Legislation (1275-1290); VIII - Edward and the Three Estates - The Development of the Parliamentary System; IX - Edward and the Church (1272-1294); X - The Scottish Overlordship (1286-1292); XI - The Years of Crisis (1293-1297); XII - The Conquest of Scotland (1297-1305); XIII - The End of the Reign (1305-1307). In no medieval country were things any better than in the England of Edward I because of the rampant corruption everywhere else. The book Edward the First appears to have some bias but the historical facts appear to be in order. After one reads Edward the First, it can be clearly determined that the movie Braveheart is grossly inaccurate because the number of inaccuracies is too many, only the major inaccuracies in the movie Braveheart will be detailed.Edward Longshanks (June 17, 1239. to July 7, 1307) was not a pagan but was raised in Christianity at a time when the Catholic Church in Rome was the only Christian religion in the world. Edward excelled in martial arts and won some jousting tournaments. King Edward’s era was the Age of Chivalry. He became a Crusader from 1268 to 1272 when the death of his father, the King of England, necessitated Edward’s return to England to assume responsibilities of king. The first thing which he did was surround himself with English advisors without undue influence from foreign interests and thus earned immediate grass-roots support from the English people. In 1277, after the conquest of Wales, Edward made null and void all Welsh laws and customs which were barbarous or in direct variance with the Ten Commandments. Edward was a skilled diplomat and only resorted to force as a last resort. As a legislator and legal codifier, he lived up to his reputation among lawyers, statesmen and other European royalty as the “English Justinian.” European royalty often called upon Edward to mediate disputes because he was highly respected. At one time, he created a great pacification in Europe among the bickering and warring royalty. In 1287, Edward wanted to lead another crusade to the Holy Land to free it from the infidels but he had to abandon that plan to resolve some feuding among European royalty. After proposing a treaty for the feuding royalty, they accepted Edward’s proposal but the Pope in Rome repudiated the treaty. In 1288, Edward again attempted to lead a Crusade into the Middle East but he had to return to England to deal with Scottish secessionists.At one point in his life, Edward I faced a crisis - unsuccessful war abroad, sedition at home, rebellion in newly annexed districts and open war with the great power of the Church in Rome. He survived this, however. Never did Edward l’s affairs seem more flourishing than in the early part of 1306. Scotland remained subdued, the French were friendly, the Pope was the king’s creature, the barons and commoners alike were well disposed, and his baronial opposition had broken up. Now all the king had to do was concentrate on problems in England.Edward II was king from 1307 to 1327 when he died or was murdered; nobody seems to know for sure. Edward II had many enemies and apparently no serious interests, wasted his time in gambling and rioting in low society, and cared for nothing but his horses, hounds, players and boon companions. After Edward I died on his last and final campaign into Scotland, his body was transported back to an immediate burial place at Westminster Abbey where it was placed under a plain monument of gray marble but little corresponding to his greatness as a king and upon which has been inscribed “EDWARDUS PRIMUS SCOTORUM MALLEUS HIC EST. PACTUM SERVA.” (Edward the First, the hammer of the Scots, is here. Serve the pact!) We would probably use the word “hammerer” today. The pact is in reference to a peace pact with the Scots.
Excellent, extensive research.
You should try to seperate the Paragraphs for easy reading.
Agreed. Excellent read, but that is a wall of text if I've ever seen one.
"If we can't get them out,we will breeeeed them out"
prima nocte is a great idea
So this is the guy who disemboweled Mel Gibson :)
Hard to believe that This kings rule is much much closer to our time then the time of the Romans rule of England.
A man of his time, hard got the job done, no buggering about.
I love the scene in Braveheart where he chucks the Prince of Wales's advisor out the window.
Long Live The King!
Tywin Lannister???
Basically. I keep hearing The Rains of Castamere whenever I think of the Barons' Rebellion.
Yes we are still here the Cymry The welsh, the first people in Britain, and speaking the first language in Britain which was spoken all over Britain at one time, we have survived every thing that the Romans the Saxons the Angels the Vikings , Norman’s and the English have thrown at us , Cymru an Byth yma o hyd.
In your dreams we are still here alive and kicking, and speaking our own language, cycha bant saeson, Pydru mewn uffern
We would have been allowed to develop as a country in our own culture with some representation in the world, because wales is not represented on the union flag, when you see the union flag you don’t see wales, when welsh athletes compete for Britain they are representing Scotland, England,and Northern Ireland, the cross of Saint George should de replace with the cross of Saint David, imagine what uproar that would make
Great comment Mr Rees !!! As an Englishman I have the greatest regard for our Celtic cousins !
You say the Angels (Angels), Saxons and English in the same sentence. Bit of a mistake there don't you think?
@Geraint Thomas Æthelstan being of course the 1st king of Engleland.
Interesting. His early exploits as a prisone being poisoned fighting crusades taught him generalship , strategy , ruthlessness , and intrigue so that later on , from his first attack on the Welsh he clearly outmatched his opponents.
I'd definitely reword that, lol! He didn't fight the Crusades. He on the Crusades or you could say "He fought on Crusades" #funatparties
Thanks for the upload! :)

Sorry, but your son was the first Millenial.

King Edward I Longshanks is my 24th great grandfather 😊
Hey cousin lol, hes my 22nd great grandfather
💩🤮
Edward the Longshanks was the first King to be crowned in Westminster Abbey and took the title of Prince of Wales, not bad for one king, That doesnt include what hes famous for
Massacre of Berwick, is he famous for that?
William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey 1066
2019 anyone?
.“Keep Troth” - referring not just to truthfulness but to faithfulness and to loyalty as well. Troth means faith, trust and loyalty.
Tywin Lannister vibes
Bad press most come either from victims or successors, but the truth is, that Edward I. has been one of the very few good kings of England ! The declared british Hero Richard Lionheart in fact has been one of the most unimportend rulers for and in british history, staying during his ten years reign only six months on the british isle and speaking and thinking only french whereas the Longshanks could understand an speak old English !
6.2 foot he was a giant for the medieval facts
Anyone 2021????//?????
2:54 😟😟😟he is sooo brutal 🥺🥺🥺
Well.. fancy this..
4:38 it's very upsetting to see that the makers of this historically inaccurate documentary didn't even notice that the standard behind the actor playing Edward I depicts the Plantagenet Lions quartered with the Fleur-de-Lis of France. This was not the case until Edward III, Longshanks' grandson, quartered the royal arms of England to include the Arms of the King of France because of his claim to the French throne through his mother, Isabella the She-Wolf of France. To add insult to injury, these arms only show 3 Fleur-de-Lis in each quarter. Anybody who knows anything about English history knows that at the time when Edward III quartered his personal arms, the Royal Arms of France had several Fleur-de-lis in sequence taking up the whole quarter. Novice mistake.
What should it display instead? As in, what was the symbol during his time?
Well if it’s historically inaccurate as you say why would you expect the banner to be correct?
I know a “little” about English history, but nothing about the detail of the symbolism on the banners for each king.
@@alpacinoravidutt At this time, the English Royal Arms were 3 identical gold lions (also known as leopards) w/blue tongues and claws, seen in profile observer, arranged in a column on a red background. It wasn't quartered with the French royal arms until Edward III inherited his claim to the French throne from his mother.
@@jcristi321 It's historically inaccurate specifically because they bungled the heraldry. Everything else in the doc is more-or-less on point but clearly the people who made this aren't Renaissance festival attending, Crusader Kings LARPING, medieval history nerds like me.
EDIT: Still this is the Plantagenets were talking about here. I wouldn't expect them to be 100% right on the banners for lower houses like the Percys or Nevilles, but even Braveheart was able to get this right lol.
Thanks for the update. Here in Oklahoma I don’t have as many opportunities to be as nerdy about this subject as you do. 😂
But I do enjoy learning. Jan
The irony I feel with Braveheart being my favorite movie as a kid, and finding out this evil king was my 23rd great grandfather. @.@
Nothing evil about him, you're measuring by today's political correctness.
Wow. Slaughter of humans, animals, destruction, rape, terror, murder, war, NOT EVIL! We are just sooooo Politically Correct nowadays.
WTAF. SMFH.
Your applying 21st Century values to a world long gone, mankind is still doing all you listed, we haven't moved on that much.
You are aware Braveheart has had gone down as one of the most historically inaccurate movies in modern times.
Yo I'm actually a distant relative to him through my mother's side my last name is Randall (if you believe me thanks but if you don't that's ok)

IS IT!!!????
Reading the comments, the saddest thing is that people don't realise that one group suffered more than any during the wars of England and Scotland. To those who lived in the borders, it little mattered who won or lost, as their homes were burned and looted in any case by either side. This was one of the things that led directly to the Border Reivers. You couldn't put faith in a monarch, so you put it in your surname - Armstrong, Bell, Charlton etc, and took what you needed from others.
Who is this person that speaks to me as though I needed his advice What would you make of the current situation
"...If we cant get them out, we'll Breed them out..."
I suppose you could not expect anything other than what you got from Longshanks being as his nature was ferocious. In a 'play fight' with the teenage Edward one of his contemporaries lost an eye.
Hello history fans, has it really been almost 6 years since I posted this? So much hate in a lot of the comments though.
This guy has been overly demonized by political propaganda. He was really a very good king.
@1rst So I suppose every single figure in history is to now be judged on whether they were nice to Jews or not? That's probably bullshit anyways.
@1rst Yeah well, Edward I wasn't very nice to the Scots either was he now? I think he was a great king of England, not because how nice he was to people, but because he made England a powerful country and he won many victories in battle.
@1rst Yeah I agree, he was probably one of the best kings England ever saw. Modern movies always show Edward I as a mean tyrant, but I don't think it was like that. Especially if you were English, he was great. I don't have anything against the Scots, and I think Robert the Bruce fighting for a free Scotland is a noble reason.......but it didn't last long, Edward III took them over later on before the Hundred Year's War.
He doesn't sound like a evil leader. Just a leader off his time.
Edward I was probably the greatest english king in history. He was like Richard the lionheart, but actually knew how to run a country
and of course Iwas referring to Edward 1 in the second half of my last post, thanks for your response.
a great great great king . wish we could resurrect him now ! rip longshanks
Agreed
Who is this person that speaks to me as though I needed his advice?!..
? You ok?
Edward seemed to live a heroic life...
Also im sure in an open battle, the welsh armies would be incredibly "puny" is comparison to saladins army, but it wasnt like that. The difficult terrain of Wales, and the the super power beating guerrilla tactics used by the welsh meant they were a deadly foe on their own turf, using their terrain to their advantage.
Edward I was one mean bastard but by gees he got things done!
Jonathon Woodgate he inspired GRRM’s Tywin Lannister.
Fred Barker no. Edward III was more of the perfect medieval king; chivalrous, fought in France, created the Order of the Garter, etc. Think of the stereotypical fairy tale king, and you get Edward III. John of Gaunt, as far as I know, is only know for getting around and having lots of descendants.
Lord Edmure Tully John of gaunt effectively controlled the country as his nephew King Richard 11 was on the throne at a young age. This is similar to Tywin and Joffrey although Joffrey is his grandson not his nephew. John of Gaunt for some years ran the country, as Tywin essential did
Fred Barker ah. In that respect, I can se the comparison.
Did anybody notice the dark figure walking through the window of the castle at 7:00 ?
Good catch
Lol, that's creepy!! Judging by the way they peek and then sort of cower and try to sneak across, I'm guessing it was someone from the crew, it looks like in the next few scenes there's footage of what could be the view from that window. But it does look really weird and out of place, I guess you never know!
Totally did, in the upper window, incredibly creepy! Good eye mate!
Lol. Someone was up there. Doubt a 👻.
My aunt did some research on our family history, and come to find out we're descendant from King Edward I. I tend to tell people it's nothing to be proud of.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee argues that we need a “digital Magna Carta” to establish fundamental rights online - but what would it mean?, clear information, transparency, liberty of search, fundamental rights of expression and points of view, individuality, togetherness?
Edward Longwanks
No one mentions that these kings of England didn't even speak e English
Frenchies.
Their royal line came from France, the Plantagenet's
I think Henry the 8th spoke English
But the English people get the blame for all the sins of these French speaking kings.

@legandrydirk Longshanks was a cut above anyone the Bruce fought. What made Longshanks so dangerous was not just the fact that he was a ruthless & effeicent warrior but also that he was cold & calculating - tyrant he may have been but no one can claim he was fool. He was the most dangerous, the most formidable of Plantagenet monarchs & anyone who angered him soon found out that it was not a good idea. The Bruce once said "I am more afraid of the bones of the Father dead than of the living son."
this is my 23th great favorite king of history 😄🙂💪
It seems strange that Edward I acted like he wanted Scotland but also seemed to want to destroy it. Maybe he was contradicting himself a bit? Maybe the only ones who would be able to explain that are a few Scottish people. The last 2 lines are jokes.

Greetings from France your oldest friends from the time of Charlemagne in the 7th century!
Arches!
I beg your pardon sire, but won't we hit our own troops?!
Yes.. but we'll hit theirs as well. We have reserves!
Attack!
*Ruthless indeed*

I'm Irish..... Just came to see who our enemy was.
Edward I to Edward II to Edward III to Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester, to Anne of Gloucester, to a bunch of generations, to me. I'm royalty!
@legandrydirk I assume your refering to Margaret Maid of Norway when you talk about "letting a kid die on a boat". I was unaware that Longshanks had any blame in Margarets death. Is this what you're refering to and if so can you tell me what Longshanks' is accused of doing wrong?
Don't scroll down any further to read the comments, you aren't missing anything good.
Most of them are poorly typed, hostile, and strange. I'm not sure why it's such a trainwreck down there, but it is. You're better off just watching the video and then continuing to the next part. Have a nice day.
thank you
Thanks
