Thank you . Somehow listening to medieval wars is preferable to listening to the current worlds problems at the moment. Seems like not much has changed eh? 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
The middle ages have always been the most fascinating period of history for me. I love anything to do with it. I have since I can't remember. But for some reason I just came to this realization not that long ago. And every time I think about how long ago it was it blows my mind lol
What an absolutely captivating narrative and a masterful presentation. Ultimate power corrupts. Thomas Becket unfortunately met a gruesome demise but he should have better remembered who raised him up to ultimate power. Eléonore of Aquitaine was a remarkable woman and a powerful political player on her own right Richard the Lionheart was her favorite for a reason. On top of being the most handsome one of the bunch he had leadership qualities the other sibling did not have. He became an amazing and powerful King warrior just like King Henry II. First I learned a great deal about King Richard the Lionheart from Sir Walter Scott’s book Ivanhoe, which I read /and reread few times/ at the age of 13. It’s a work of fiction but still if you separate the historical facts from the literary fiction is an utterly fascinating stuff
personally think he's one of england's worst kings. offered to sell london if he had a buyer. spent only 6 months out of 10 yrs as king in england. got captured and cost the country an expensive ransom for freedom. though history has been ever so kind to this loser king, he's negatives are conveniently ignored.
I hear often about how great Richard was, yet he was so arrogant that even the other nobles who fought with him hated him, eventually ransoming him for several years' worth of treasury. John, who gets the brunt of history, was handed a bankrupt nation and an aggressor in France who was conspiring against him with English nobles. Why is this never discussed? Also, how much time did Richard actually spend in England being King? Was he a great leader of England or was he a great warrior? One can often be one and not the other. I tend to think that John gets a pretty raw deal historically, and I also tend to think that he was a pretty good leader. After all, England still existed after his reign was up, which is fairly remarkable considering its circumstances. As a descendant of John and Eleonore, I may be feeling a little duty bound to defend them. 😁
@@colechillen7700 Everyone has a bias. It's part of being a human being. But the questions are valid and ignored. Would you want a King who spent his entire reign overseas? How is that even a King?
i don't understand how there isn't a tv shows on the Plantagenets, if done in a similar quality to this documentary it would be better than 95% of existing series!
It’s all one thing. We are world history in the making and it’s always attached to what went before because it never ends and it goes in cycles. The best way to understand what’s happening today is by looking at history. It all just repeats really.
I´m obsessed with all the series of Dan Jones, but perhaps if you make a show similar to this, but about the celts, or roman britain I will binge-watch about a Thousand times. C´mon Dan Jones, I know that you love to write , but this... Is GOLD. Luv ya!
There was a time when the royals of England and their intrigue captivated me. I just couldn’t get enough of their drama. Then I discovered the Eastern Roman Empires court and the stories that echoed down through time that shamed game of thrones and anything that our eyes and ears had witnessed before. Truly writers have been looking in the wrong places for inspiration.
"Plantagenet" means "gorse branch" in English (Lat.: planta genista; Old French: plante genest). The progenitor of the Plantagenets, Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy, is said that he used to wear a sprig of gorse on his helmet.
I love this channel, but I wish the playlists were labeled by date/era vs just era so I can then view in a chronological order by date and see the evolution thru the ages of time. Plz go back and relabel the playlists to include dates so we can view in a chronological order. This is great work! Thank you much.
The Middle Ages are so fun to learn about. If you don’t mind a little speculation mixed into your history I suggest checking out The White Queen. It’s a mini series about the war of the roses and it’s amazing! Also there is a mini series you can find here in UA-cam, the Devils Crown. It’s this exact story, (12 episodes) I’ve watched it three times already, it’s great.
I read Anya Seton's book "Katherine" when I was 12 and became a raving fan of the Plantagenets as it is set in the latter 1300s. Everyone comes alive. Since that 1954 book there have been corrections to the actual history of Katherine Swynford, but the people and tone of the times portrayed in that book is what made me want to know more.

Dan has written a couple of excellent books, in case you love books, as I do! I've re-read almost all of them back to back, and it's fun to have this documentary available. Royals are STILL having brother issues too. 😉 History repeats itself. 😹
Very much enjoyed this. However, the part about Henry's barefoot walk through the streets and his flagellation being portrayed as a propaganda stunt, I find incongruous. I'd argue that it was a genuine act of deep remorse, atonement and redemption. That prostrating oneself so fully is a far weightier act than one of mere superficial politics.
I see it as an act of self preservation. If he didn't atone he loses everything. If it was propaganda, it was convincing, bc he suffered greatly from the ordeal.
Wait a minute, the fact that Henry had control of half of France not mentioned as a reason why the French King was encouraging Henry’s sons to revolt? No no, much more likely that Louis’s macho pride has been hurt because he was not able to father sons with Eleanor! Well I’m glad you put me straight on that , Dan.
Something interesting to note, one of my direct ancestors was a Knight that took part in the assassination of the arch-bishop and was actually the illegitimate son of King Henry II. His punishment was to go to the Jerusalem Temple Mount and was supposedly buried in Jerusalem with members of the Knight’s Templar. To this day my family still holds that surname and when tracing my genetics I’m related to nearly every royal house of Europe and match samples of Merovingian nobles found at high percentages of similarity.
6:17 one the the earliest documents from the period comes in the form of a note attached to a bag of barley, it reads simply "this be Steves barley, neither reduce this to the trash heap, nor partake in any that lies within". this seems to be a medieval curse of some kind
This is part of my family loved hearing their stories. No kingdom could even compete with them. Except Jesus Christ who is the real king of kings forever amen
Poor guy. Could you imagine your wife and children going against you like that? Shows what greed does to people. Sometimes in total control you have none I guess
I'm a Scottish American, the first generation of my family to be born in the US. So it is in my DNA to hate the British. But man, they have one soap opera of a history! And as much as I dislike them, I can't look away. Fascinating to think that all of this actually happened! Between family members no less! I can understand having a fall out with your family member, but this? This goes beyond my pay grade. I cannot wrap my head around the way the families treated each other. Wow! Yes, I know the British didn't exactly corner the market in this type of behavior, but they did it better than anyone.
There's alot of Scottish noble families that also descend from French Normans... such as Robert the Bruce, also known as Robert de Brus. It is very probable you will descend from these same families who took over Scotland at the same time William the Conqueror took over England.
@@ruthanneseven Right on!! It's been so much fun for me to learn all of this over the last few years. I'll be studying these families the rest of my life. Best wishes!
I’ve just started researching my lineage. I always thought it was mainly Irish. I’m finding out that it’s more British and Scottish. I’m a descendant of the Plantagenets, Scottish kings back to William l, Malcom l and Constantine King of the Picts.
I personally have little doubt Henry meant it when he threatened Beckett via his knights and knew what was going to happen. It's surprising Beckett didn't seem to realize he was courting his own destruction or else a perverse martyr complex took hold of him, which was just vanity run amuck.
England began as a French colony, or - as the former French president Georges Clemenceau expressed it - "England is nothing else than a former French colony that went bad". And you know what? - Clemenceau was right.
Lmao, this is like the Targareyans. They tore each other apart while clawing and ripping their way to the Iron Throne. Thing is, the only ones that stood in they're way was their own blood... and Dragons lol.
This is why kings who crown their sons before they die are fools. Claudius had a similar betrayel when he tapped Nero for emperor and in doing set his own death in motion. God save us from the plots of women ambitious for their sons.
Ha I don't get it? The absolute shitstorm before when Tiberius named his successor germanicus in charge of the half, fucking Tiberius mother livia paved the way for Tiberius to become emperor, after freaking augustus, idk claudius weakness is his wife choices but srrsly blamimg women in things is srrsly waving some red flags
The Angevins descended from a soldier in Emperor Gratian’s army. He lived in the west of the Armorican Peninsula, but was expelled with the rest of Gratian’s forces there on Magnus Maximus’s orders when Brittany was founded in 383. He resettled in Rennes. If that soldier was of central or northern Italian stock, then he was probably R1b-U152, which would mean that the Earls of Somerset are true Plantagenets and Richard III was not.
Incidentally, the Hapsburgs and the Sovereign House of Brittany are R1b-U152, the Hapsburgs because they originated in Switzerland, and the SHB because their ancestors were from the vicinity of Rome in the first millennium BC.
I only love 3 Plantagenet Kings. Henry V, Richard I and Richard III are who I look up to when it comes to being a strong and honorable King but most of the others were cruel, sinful, insane, stupid and cunning.
@@Privateharvest exactly what I was thinking. Richard the third was cruel. Had his own nephews killed because they were a threat to his reign. Heartless.
starts with a French dude taking England. ends with another French dude taking England from him..... last words in narrative, "England now ruled by the French"? now, my silly comment out of the way, I was very entertained while being educated. thanks!
