    About to listen to this but best compliment I can pay you, Chris, is that this diversion to a History episode is proof of how excellent this podcast is.
    I can't imagine another podcast that marries and covers so many varying political views, economic views, health topics, social topics, technology topics and now it seems, History!
    Your desire to just follow what you find interesting and speak with real curiosity with thought leaders in those topics, is what's made this so, so good. I never squirm at a topic or guest when I see it pop up on my feed - this podcast has taught me the value of appreciating differing opinions and perspectives, to help find my own.

      Alfred resisted to the scandinavians more than he united the anglo saxons kingdoms (only Wessex and half of Mercia were still anglo saxons by the time he ruled).
      Those who united the anglo saxon kingdoms were Edward the elder and Athelstan.

    I remember watching David Starkey's 'Music and Monarchy', and his focus on Henry'V's Chapel Royal. Not only was he an advocate of the unique "English Sound' , but he was a composer as well. According to Dr. Starkey, he took the entire Chapel Royal, with its choristers, vestments, and plate to France when he invaded, and they were at Agincourt as well. Thanks for this excellent video.

    Belgium here, this guy is an awesome story-teller. His knowledge dumbfounded me. And also the little addendum, Chris, rang true as well. You should never aim to cater to the masses like in politics...Share what seems interesting to you and enjoy getting those 3million subscribers. 🎉

    Considering Henry II was also a King of England whose only rival, I’d say, in the whole of the European Middle Ages is Federico II… I’d say that’s arguable, but Henry V certainly has a good claim.

    I was given a book over 60 years ago titled Henry of Monmouth (I still have it). I was a little disappointed because I wanted Nancy Drew but I started reading it and finished it within a couple of days. At the time I didn't realize he was a real person that took another few years. Fascinating story.

    22:59 a succession of mainly men birthed by women. Look up Henry the V’s grandma? Great grandma? Queen Matilda, 13 when she gave birth and she had already survived a-shipwreck after being married off at the age of ten…4th grade for today’s audience. Had a baby by 13 and shortly after her old ass husband widowed her and her baby. Please do a story on her! She is the mother of Tudors.

    I've always loved Henry V. He was a warrior prince who had an arrow pulled out of his brain then as a king he took a tiny army to obliterate the French . He must have been a real real boss

    Dan Jones is the shit. Btw…I just stayed in a castle keep where the Black Prince imprisoned the King of France, John the Good, in 1356. Southern France. Chateu de Saint Loup These kind of conversations bring to life these subjects so well, and there’s a few castles out there you can stay in with interesting history if you like that sort of thing.
