The rise and fall of the Kingdom of Man - Andrew McDonald

- Discover the medieval empire of the Isle of Man and the Hebrides, and how a dynasty of sea kings rose to power.
--
On a small island in the Irish Sea, fortresses preside over the rugged shores. This unlikely location was the birthplace of a medieval empire that lasted 200 years. Rulers built coastal fortresses on cliffs, roved the seaways, and threw themselves into epic battles to consolidate control over an impressive maritime kingdom. Andrew McDonald uncovers this forgotten dynasty of sea kings.

It's a damn good day when TED-Ed releases a history video.

Oh my I really love the animation style for this.. It's like I'm playing a virtual board game

You mean The Banner Saga?

Total war

A pen is not mightier than a sword. A pen does not battle nor does a sword do poetry. Mighty is the hand who knows when to use the sword and the pen.
@@hurjireepz7021 wow, that's deep
@@hurjireepz7021 My history teacher behind my shoulder while i research for a project:
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

The Book of Truth
The King of Man may be the most biblical-like title i have ever heard
what about the Emperor of Mankind?
@@cyberbird2014 thats in warhammer 40k.
@@cgt3704 ... I know
maybe because it was written by early christians?
@@gktte2574 Man is a celtic name . And the early christians were roman.
The most badass name for a country in history.
Imagine having "of the Kingdom of Man, The Sea-King" at the end of your name
The bishops title is Bishop of Sodor and Mann which is the most LOTR title Ive ever heard
Man here does not litreally mean Man.
“I used to rule the Man,
Seas would rise when I waved my hand.”
- Godred probably
Is that a Coldplay reference?
Its a good quote ngl

Hmmm welp only in isle of man
"I uuuuuuused to rule world"

These were the real life equivalent of the Greyjoy. Even their eventual fall and annexation is similar.
My exact thoughts. And I thought Greyjoys were supposed to represent the Norse.
@@amoral_minority
It turns out these people are descendants of the Norse people
many elements of GOT were taken from the war of the roses so it's not far-fetched to say Martin got some inspiration here
@@theguystealingyourinternet3712 More distant, but I think the Stanleys, who played a decisive role at Bosworth in 1485, were then in possession of Man as a fief. No direct significance, but strangely appropriate.
Many elements of a story are inspired by real events.
There is a great story about how the Kingdom of Man took one of the Hebrides peninsulas. After a war when dividing the land between the Scottish lords and the Manx, the Scots declared the King of Man could rule everything he could "pass his ships rudder over", thinking he would only claim the isles. Instead he beached his ship and had the crew carry the boat across the narrowest points of one of the peninsulas. As per the agreement he was allowed to keep the peninsula.
Each territory is clearly an ant hill megalopolis!
I’m liking these Irish Sea region videos, interesting stories which aren’t usually told. Dublin also has a pretty interesting history
ua-cam.com/video/xBS8-YdMBDQ/v-deo.html
What others have there been?
Same here. Celtic/Gaelic history needs more love and appreciation. It’s so rich and interesting
You could name any place on Earth and add "also has a pretty interesting history" to it, and it would literally be true in all cases.
@@romanski5811 well yeah, obviously that goes without saying. my point is this specific region hasn’t particularly had much interest in the public scope so it’s nice to see a bigger channel like Ted Ed being it up
The Island has perfect location for a break for the sea ships where they can repaired
It´s the perfect base for quick operations into ireland, scottland, Wales and England.
ua-cam.com/video/xBS8-YdMBDQ/v-deo.html
@@denniseggert211 also an easy island for blockade
@@shouryajaiswal8655 how small do you think this island is?
Never thought the Isle of Man has a spicy history
@@bigmoniesponge ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Salty, too.
fax i thought it was always just chillin there
And before it was a feudal kingdom it was a viking strong hold the armies would hide there confusing the british and allowing them to hunt and forage for supplies extending raids. The Isle of Mann was a bastion for viking piracy and effectively became a minor
Norse Kingdom
Kingdom of Man and the geographical location of the Isle of Man reminds me of the Iron Isles in the Game of Thrones.
The Ironborn resemble Vikings more
@@puneetmishra4726 The rulers of the Isle of Man were descended from Vikings.
Main difference is that the Iron Islands are more a backwater location, unlike Man where they can control trade routes.
Actually, the Iron Islands are perfectly situated to dominate the sea trade in the west coast of Westeros, and many kings have used this wealth to build up the fleets that are then wasted on raiding, and then destroyed by the mainland, thanks to idiots like Balon and Dalton
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
GoT takes inspiration from a lot of British history and the GoT map is just The British isles if you flip Ireland upside-down and put it where France is supposed to be.
Perfect overview of the Norse influence on this island, visiting there today you can definitely feel this impact of history and see it all around, mostly untouched by modern development - definitely recommend to anyone travelling to the Island to visit the 'House of Mannanan' museum or the 'Manx Museum' for this insight over time (Peel Castle and Castle Rushen also essential if possible!)
I swear, the person reading this is perfect for teaching history. Love his voice!!
I’m surprised that you didn’t mentioned that their descendants are still alive and well and actually do have some influence in Man, and even trying to reinstate the king 👑
Really? What are their names?
@@kwagar9810
Probably Robertson or Law. When the Scots took over they married the Crovan women into the new clan taking charge of the Isles, which eventually became Clan Robertson. The Law line (the barons Ellesborough) would probably be the most likely candidates by virtue of already being lords.
the Sea Kings will rise again!
They have my support in their endeavors!
No they don't? I'm Manx and live on the Isle of Man and haven't heard a single thing like what you're suggesting
The music is just perfect and propelled the storytelling.
okay let me start a new ck3 campaign
There is a decent amount of quality museums on the island and an impressive amount of history for a place that can be driven the whole length in just 45 minutes.
Manxie here!
Wonderful to see this
Godred Crovan was also known as King Orry and has a significant place in manx folklore
Thank you for telling me that. I was gonna say, I’ve never heard of these people they’re talking about but King Orry is a name I’m familiar
The narrator's voice is a perfect match for such history videos!
Good job TED-ed.
Norse and Celtic roots? How lucky to have two fascinating heritages. Those folks must have been beautiful.
…guess we can’t call it “The Forgotten Kingdom” anymore.
Well, it's mostly forgotten, the only reason I know about the empire is because of this video, and I have subscribed to more than 30+ top history channels on youtube.
I always love learning about the history on my island
Do you think the native language of your Island will ever be revived
@@IAmGlutton4Life no
@@ronan_3628 what makes you think it won't be
@@IAmGlutton4Life dead init no one speaks it
and its the shitest language
The design and animation are absolutely fantastic! great job to the whole team!
10/10 would watch series on this topic
They should make a show about this. I will remember it much better then.
Ted Ed makes the most entertaining and greatest history videos
Such an overlooked part of history. Excellent video!
"This small group had an outsized influence on the region" basically sums up all of the British isles' history
....actually....just history in general
No it doesn't, that's just the Isle of Man. Anyway, you mean Britain, or England, not the British Isles.
@The Respected Lex Does exercising frantic pedantry on a 7 month old dead youtube comment really bring you enough satisfaction that you felt this necessary? Rethink your decisions maybe, friend.
@@therespectedlex9794 true the other countries where weak if it wasn't England or Scotland they would be invaded by someone else
The Isle of Man, a land of four-horned sheep and tailless cats.
Don't forget the famous race, and a people who consider the ideal indoor temperature something like that in the fridge.
Yes
Also of weird symbols.
And incestuous family's spanning from peel to foxdale 😂
It's a local joke.
And wallabies
I love the narrator's voice, he sounds so peaceful and calm. He can be telling a story about war and death but I will still find peace in his voice.
The animation quality , voice and diction are highly addictive
This sounds so good. I hope TED-ED launches another video like this. Such as:
- The Rise and Fall of The Mughal Empire
- The Rise and Fall of The Qing Dynasty
- The Rise and Fall of The Yuan Dynasty
- The Rise and Fall of The Majapahit Empire
- The Rise and Fall of The Carolingian Empire
- The Rise and Fall of The Macedonian Empire
- The Rise and Fall of The Khmer Empire
- The Rise and Fall of The Japanese Empire
- The Rise and Fall of The Holy Roman Empire
Etc...
They were all massive and are well known though.
@@tams805 The HRE isn't really. Austria used to be known so well back in the 18th century, and now people confuse it with Australia.
man i dont even use ted-ed for school and stuff, i just love the little animations and how it actual teaches you some stuff you'd probably never know about.
Every Ted-Ed video has a power that utilize my depressed mind and upgrade it to an excitement state.
Im an American with Manx ancestry and a lover of history. I thank you for this video!
Time to start a new Crusader Kings playthrough as the Isle of Man :)
This story reminds me of the story of the King's men of Numenor from J.R.R Tolkein's The Lord Of The Rings
Maybe that's what gave him the thought. Funny that - Ireland would then be the undying lands
I had the exact same thoughts too, especially after I saw the title 😄. I had no idea this island has such a rich history.
Tolkien brain worm gang!
@@Midorikonokami
No, Ireland would be Tol Erresëa
which tolkien based on atlantis btw
I remember meeting two people from the Isle of Man when I was at Sydney harbour, Australia taking photos of the Opera house. They were so kind to me about how I didn't know what the Isle of Man was and I felt bad for saying that. If I ever meet them again, or anyone else from there, I would love to tell them that their country's history is fascinating - thank you for educating me!
Yeah, us Manx are used to people not knowing where we are. It’s just one of those things. Fun fact though: the Beegees were born here
Man is the New Zealand of Britain. It is usually left off maps and you should under no circumstance confuse them with the island to their west.
@@paulhoward7756 And they grew up here in Brisbane!
@Tribhuvan Shekhawat They're the guys that made "Stayin' Alive"en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_Gees ua-cam.com/video/fNFzfwLM72c/v-deo.html
@Tribhuvan Shekhawat There’s a phrase that goes round the IOM: “We’re born to hold axes in any weather”
Love the drawing style here, and the narrator's voice fits the lesson so well.
First time im early to a ted ed video
Not anymore
I thought I was playing the Viking game called bad north. I love this, and it’s such a good day when TedEd releases a new video. It’s amazing how you make something boring like history sound like an amazing game!!
these TED-Ed videos just keeps getting better and better every time, both in animation and content.
"Kingdom of Man" is one of, if not THE, most badass names for an an kingdom!
This kingdom seems like a great influence on creating the House Greyjoy in the Game of Thrones books and series.
Ck3 has brought it back
seriously, you're probably the only channel that made a video about it, I waited for a video like this an eternity
Oh cool my old professor from brock university! This was so awesome to watch, he always has been so involved in the history of this island.
To Warhammer fans who find yourself here:

i’ve been watching these videos since i was a little kid and they’re still so engaging and interesting
This feels so game of thronesy
TED-Ed is TED-Ed!! It's lucky that I can see TED-Ed's videos!! TED-Ed's videos are really interesting and I can learn lot of things,,!!
Thank you TED-Ed! It's great to watch this kind of history video!!
Hi ted-ed
Awesome video..
Never before heard history..
Thanks..🙏👍
fun fact: Mann is the inspiration for the Iron Islands in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series
Manx here Good to see someone talking about our history i known I'm late
The quote at the beginning of the video was really very amazing , it's something which I firstly look for in your videos .

@@Richard_Nickerson typing mistake . 😅😅
CK3 players be like: "Yea... we know" lmao
Lol yeah man is pretty insane in ck3. I love it.
Forming the kingdom of mann, look I'm the pirate now.
Elevate the Kingdom of Mann and the Isles
The music in the background reminds me of CK2 lol
Ted-Ed is seriously a crown jewel of UA-cam

3:09 I like how when the spear hit him in the chest that the blood escaped through his leg.
Every time I watch Ted Ed, I learn something new every day. I didn't even know that island even existed until today, let alone a long history!
This was really enjoyable. I've never known any of this history until now.
The animation and character designs are gorgeous. Kudos to tue artists and animators who made this wonderful video ❤
One of the Emperor's lesser stellar attempts at the glorious path for Humanity
I guess I'm the only one finding this glorious music quite disturbing, while listening to the practice of war, murder, lack of diplomacy, and what is bad with humanity. No wonder people transform fascination for the history into neverending modern disputes, for ages they weren't forced to live nor to die for.
Wow!! How did I not know about this?? Color me impressed. I have some serious research to do.
I studied the Isle of Man as a kid. For some reason, I was into this island. Maybe because it was in the middle of nowhere.
The Art style is beautiful!
The art style is... Outstanding!
Amazing animation in this one
So this is the iron isles inspiration
Thank you very much for sharing this very interesting, beautifully-animated, informative, and educational video! All the best and plenty of success! Much respect for the knowledge you share and for the great quality of these animated videos! 😊
You forgot that the Suðreyjar existed way before Gudred Crovan, with the most prominent ruler being Ivar the Boneless
Children follow the dream to a land of make believe
Only if Sodor was a real place
this was definitely the inspiration for the ironborn in RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire
I love this art style
INCREDIBLE art on this one! Wooow!
Kingdom of man and the isles, let’s go!
Ted Ed is awesome,I watch every single video he makes!
If it’s history it’s on my playlist
This makes me proud to be Manx 🇮🇲
Nice, TED-ED uploaded
This channel is my new sparknotes.
Assassin #1: I can move without sound
Assassin #2: My blade is swifter than your eye can see
Assassin #3: Hold my pen
Don't know why but this gives me tolkien vibes,
The rivalries death of king etc just remind me of numenor
Btw love the animation style
Being a Proffessor of History Tolkien probably knew all about this. I wouldnt be surprised if Numenor was based on this and the Atlantis myths
So this is where Game of Thrones got their inspiration for the Greyjoy clan
_“What is dead may never die”_
I thought they were House Velaryon but whatevs
All I could think of when they said “sea king” was the Pokémon, Seaking.
I suspect the Kingdom of the Isles served as massive inspiration for the "Ironborn" kingdom before the arrival of the Targaryen dynasty. The story told here has some striking similarities.
Dang I would watch if TED-Ed releases a one or two seasons about these people.
Its been 2 minutes and someone already disliked it😭✋🏼
*Target accquire*
At one point it looked like the longboats were sailing West to the Americas and you need to uphold consistency with the wind direction illustrated by the flags atop castles.
TED_ED , please make a video about the sea people and the bronze age collapse ,it is such an interesting historical mystery and we NEED more about it
3:04 the best way of sending letter over long distances
YAAAAAAAASSS I've been waiting for this
Fun fact- the names Celtic names for the Isle of Man are Mannin and Ellan Vannin.
Yes, in Manx the M of Mannin mutates and becomes V (Vannin) after the word Ellan.
Next : rise and fall of imperium of man
Maybe only the rise
Loved the visual style of this one!!
Ted-Ed marathon continues after this vid
A very pleasant and informative video! Thanks!
I'm gonna use this to role play in my CK3 gameplay
Oh Man, what an island!
