- The Aristocracy series originally aired on the BBC. Each episode explores a period in the history of Britain's noble classes. Focusing on the decline of this class in the modern world, each tape offers a glimpse into a world only the privileged are intimately familiar with. In this particular episode, viewers explore a golden age for England's aristocracy. Around the turn of the century, Britain's aristocracy owned 80 percent of the land and dominated Parliament. The program features interviews with current dukes and duchesses, as well as with leading historians. ~ Rob Ferrier, Rovi
BBC:
The Duchess of Devonshire, Sir Charles Wolseley, the Marquess of Anglesey and others describe their ancestors' lifestyles and finances.
First broadcast: 29 Jan 1997
Thanks for posting this BBC series, for a third world citizen like me living in Venezuela, to learn about the history of english aristocracy is very amazing, specially the ways the noble class learned that it was better to bend than to break...
This Duke of Devonshire is some super duke, who can live as he pleases with more freedom than the Sax-Coburg-Gotha's. I'd rather be duke than king in this case.
Obviously. Being part of the "firm" seems genuinely terrible.
Couldn't understand a word that came out of the Dukes mouth.
Very sweet people. The Duke is so cute when the children are cheering.
It's as "real" as any other accent. I think the previous commenter meant that it is "prestige" English.
That affected they spake, don't ever trust that kind, slaves iwas their trade and slaughtering poor people, while stealing their wealth, useless hideous parisites,
Thank you, the idea of super rich or people whom wealth is equivalent to country wealth are exactly the same as aristocrats who were ruling european lands. Billionaires today play the same role financially while they kept their names hidden behind the scene, that always imbalance domestic economy and then lead to a great loss. Also there is no way to stop such immoral act except through internal force, and it must be very strong or external force which is worse case because the country become an easy target or pie for foreign people
He talks as if he has a turd in his mouth. Time to come into the 21st century and be rid of the royal family
Why do British aristocrats talk in a mumbling fashion?
***** It's just age.
They don't all speak in that way
Excuse me but RP is NOT "real" english. It was born in the early days of radio and telephone as a clear and easy communications-accent. As most of the people involved in The BBC were university educated, the accent leaned in the "Oxbridge" direction.
The BBC,seems to have lost the BBC English,which was broadcast throughout the world via the World Service,so everyone could understand,nowadays anything seems to be accepted,often I have to switch the sound off.
Back when kids were grateful and didn’t expect iPhone 📱 14
but who said they were born to rule, most of what they have now was at some point stolen from those who farmed their plots in order to feed their families and supply their villages.
they should never have owned so much fuckin land in the first place
Some are born to rule, some are born to follow.
when adam dug and eve span, who was then a gentleman?

Most comments here are both nasty and pitiful. Thank goodness there are still laws to keep the mob in check.
Thank goodness there's censorship!
@@SuiSSe-Torture-Prisonniers-CH No, not that.
The Italian Aristocracy does not have the exact rules as the English/U.K. Aristocracy, there are some differences. Yes, I do have paternal relatives in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England who are part of U.K. Aristocracy. I am from, by YDNA, the Italian Gerardi nobility family of Venice and Naples kingdoms. These DNA connections were done during the Catholic majority era.
Waters is in an Irish name from Co.Sligo where I'm from, Lots of Waters here.
@@GreenOval_Adventurers Gerardi is the surname of my Paternal Great grandfather who was full Italian nobility with Scottish, Irish and English nobility/Royal relatives like the Stuarts and Plantagenet dynasty family of Lancaster (red rose in the center of our coat of arms). Waters is from a legal guardian, not related.
looking, looking some more, where is this great expense. paper plates. some cake and whatever. old fashion puppets. yeah, he went all out. chile...
What do you want the children to be provided with? golden plates and cutlery?
There are twenty-six families who rule the world. Most you would never know their names. The rest of us work for them directly or indirectly and never know. Whether the country calls themselves capitalist, socialist or communist is irrelevant. They are still in charge and have been for a very long time.
What? Like the Sasoons? Or are they small fish compared to the real players?
Ru22eLL There is an excellent BBC documentary that outlines who they all are. I’m sure if you do a search you can find it.
Ru22eLL You can read The Soong Dynasty by Sterling Seagraves. It’s the story of one such family and it’s interconnection to many of the other powerful families of the world. Fascinating story when you realize just how small their world really is.
Could anybody else understand the guy at 3:40? Was that English...?
Bugger this, nothing but a crowd of inbred, nothings
lady clinton...
This is amazing why is the BBC keeping this hidden
Need you ask‽
It _is_ the BBC of which you speak after all.
Enjoyed this series... watch every few years
My first time to see this series. I somehow started in the middle, so now I'm watching the beginning. Very interesting. As an American, it is helping me understand the institutions of the British aristocracy. A marvelous glimpse into a lost world.
Mega Millions or Powerball and I am so there!!!!! LOL
theyre speaking in Received Pronunciation (RP), the real English!
chanctonbury63 Received Pronunciation
The narrator or the Duke? Because I could not understand a word the Duke said
Actually the most vicious critique of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie comes from within, the rest of the population is wage-enslaved as you should know, so nobody has time to add two plus two.
then read a dictionary and you may be able to understand
These two look like an adorable couple.
Hi, is there a English version of this video? I can't understand a word they are saying.
Let me check my MytrueancestryDNA data chart to see if this family is listed?
*Awakening*
... and then they gained a forced empathy for the rest of the Collective, all persons, particularly the Taxpayers, those whom are the bread and butter of the 1% and all Business and Corporate Owners.
We are all human and true Class is achieved within, in applying the Higher Mind, in achieving Wisdom. Material accumulation is merely that, Lloyd of stuff, Value is actually within and shared between people.
Its a far greater experience of class, wealth, of living, that is found in people experiences and relationships of every nature.
You'll never miss a dollar the your heart, like you miss another Soul Incarnate, aka a Person.
Great documentary. Thanks for posting this.
Now not only most of aristocracy is a spent force, but Britain itself will soon follow.
They served the children on paper plates??
3:49 i understand absolutely nothing
A rather superficial introduction to British aristocracy, which was based on land grants from the King, which were heritable, along with the title. The initial grant was given to those who performed some meritorious service to the King, but the abilities of those who inherited the title varied considerably. The title of the video, "Born to Rule," overlooks an important correlative qualification; knowing the elder son who in time become a Lord, they were also educated to rule. Forced to wait until the preceding Lord died to become a member of the House of Lords, the aristocracy was typically late middleage or older, which made the House of Lord politically conservative and guardians of tradition in mores and law.
Modern self-made billionaires are not equivalent to British aristocrats in education, a sense of duty to the country, or political orientation. Indeed, nouveau riche billionaires may be intellectually inferior to many ordinary people and more liberal. Nearly all of them owe their billions to having been in the right place at the right time with the right technical skills; they possessed of enough intelligence to use capital profitably, they are rarely learned men. For example, few modern billionaires have any real familiarity with classic literature, the history of western civilization, or the basic principles of American republican democracy -- which is why so many of them make fools of themselves in speaking of politics and social issues.
The king didn't "grant" land , a person was the tenant of the king .
There hasn't been a land owned in England since 1066 , everyone is a tenant that's why they pay taxes .
@@ageofechochambers9469 My wife is a aristocrat
Lady "Lucinda de la Tour " her ancestors came over from Normandy with William the Conquer 1066.... and William then awarded the family land and title to be inherited ,,,, so Lucy is Lady Lucinda
me im a commoner,,,, a very rich commoner thankyou "William Duke of Normandy"
@@edwinthompson6510 doesn't negate what I typed , her family paid taxes everytime a new monarch came to power , or a new family member inherited the title.
If your lady doesn't pay taxes that land will be confiscated by her majestys revenue service.
There have been aristocrats who lost their estates due to debt and these were Anglo-Saxon nobility or landed gentry who predate the Norman conquest. So even owing your land for more than a 1000 years doesn't exempt a person from taxes.
So no 1 owns their land if you pay taxes, only 2 feudal persons don't pay taxes in England ( at least they are not forced too in their feudal lands the duchess of lancaster and the duke of cornwall) the rest all will lose the land if they don't pay.
I absolutely love this!
Reminds me of hillary, m.obama, and kamala....
Same narrator for The Planets series?
bwaahaahhaha!! i read that out loud and lol'd...
where did the lords go when they explained the rankings?
+chanctonbury63 documentaries do not mention the rank of lord when they say the aristocracy ranks including this one.
Thank you, it is very interesting because we never dream about such luxuriance but we do have great concern about protecting our wealth from bad ideas or weird and unaccepted thoughts and practice. And we do have affected last 25 years by similar act while solving such problem won't take more than few months could be five months
don't use that word!
Really funny,laughed like a drain.
Sauwl’s’b’rreh...
The Duke of Devonshire needs a translator- yikes ! The aristocracy was always irrelevant !
Turn on the subtitles FUNNY VERY FUNNY
They must have fixed it 😆😣
Gone with the wind.
We need subtitles for some of these guys...unintelligible!
bnuhferh lol..I feel the same. So proper they're inarticulate
Perfectly intelligible. Too much linguistic laziness.
What is he saying? The aristocracy is a “spent force?” He repeated it twice and I still couldn’t understand the man. Too much mumbling and stuttering and hemming and hawing, plus a very garbled accent makes the duke, however charming, almost un-understandable.
Agreed. His speech was garbled and unclear. The narrator speaks clearly.
Spent force , basically lacking power and wealth to be like their ancestors.
He was 76 years old here naturally the pronunciation will be off esp if there are teeth issues.
Dont be misled by the dukes old grandfatherly behaviour, this is a luceferian satanist freem ason family , they practice ritual sacrifice.
Fyi documentary was done to give the aristocracy a favourable spin , there were talks of abolishing the house of lords etc in the mid 90s when this documentary was done .
These ppl have committed everything to get where they are and will do it again to maintain it .
One would like to believe we all have an equal chance at life.
That has never happened and never will.
@@mscott3918 yeah some are more equal than others
Of course the great empire-builder of the period is Cecil Rhodes, who went out to Africa and had his own country named after him, about five-times the size of Britain. That's what you want, not this bickering lot who sells weekend-tickets to tourists to pay the bills.
Yeah Rhodes was a colony Empire builder on the backs of black Africans,,,,, South Africa today shining example
@@edwinthompson6510 🎯💯✊🏿
5:00 when Henry VIII dumped the Catholic Church, a slow, steady decline began and is still going on and going faster now.
darwin + cromwell = equality
Cromwell equals miserable failure. His regime lasted 11 years. The monarchy, apart from that 11 has lasted 1300.
What happened to the world i should have gotten? I did nothing but should have everything ? Why do you put up with this thinking ?
Is the narrator right about the precedence? Apart from the Royal Dukes, I think the Duke of Norfolk ranks the highest.
Unless he meant about the ages of then existing non-royal dukes.
nice vid... I just used it as background noise. such British, much accent. wow.
Aristocracy "Born to Wine"
More likely the working class born to whine
Interesting look into another world. I can still wear my "Eat the Rich" shirt proudly and enjoy things like this and Downton Abbey, I think. People are complex.
or just shallow
@@Ikaros23 and yet art exists. I think we're all deeper than we allow ourselves to be
A person that has a face to lose, has a mask to get rid of.
@@Ikaros23 But that implies there's definitely something underneath. Hence, not shallow.
@@picklesthewise There is always something underneath. The point of the mask is that you may be ashamed of whats under. Or feel pressured from real or imagined forces to where them. So you where a mask so you can pretend to some friends that you hate the system or that you are " cool". And to others another mask that show that you love history/art/culture and maby even conservative values. It`s normal to be like this. We are all complex, but it is also shallow and a sign of beeing " normaly" insecure and fake. People love distractions and love to see entertainment and shows of " the good old days" because it`s a distorted and manipulated view of the past. A distraction from the real life where we need masks to fit in. Today people can even be a CEO and use a Ernesto Guevara t-shirt. The next is maby the CEO whering a swastica as it`s some joke. Reality is that your masks, symbols is not reality. Reality is what you do. Whats " underneath" dont matter if your actions say othervice. You may fool your people around you and even yourself, but your actions is what defines you. And whering a t-shirt dont mean shit. It`s just a symbol. maby it`s real. Maby it`s just a joke. But again. Maby your life is just a joke and your actions and words dont matter. Maby they do. What can i say. Have a good day!
This is disgusting! Yes, quoting the video, "it has come to the end of it's useful life." Let's end the cruelty and discrimination. Watch The Alex Jones show - especially the September 30, 2013 show. Why couldn't the duke and duchess provide for these children anonymously? Why do the children need to "hip hip horay" them. Power, Power, Power - I'm not impressed.
As well as america and all European countries
bunch of korrupt
Billionaires in america and in europe are great sign about the end of western leadership to the world economy, and it is a great chance to other nations to take the lead examples include the turkish half a mellinuem ,the arab about a mellinuem, the persian about couple of centuries. We won't destroy such farms but rather we will better evaluate england outcomes and currency
