    This is a strange format for history. It creates a fictional narrative based partially on facts, but the fiction and the history is weaved so tightly together that it's hard to know which is which. This channel is probably best consumed as historical fiction.

    • @YoreHistory
      @YoreHistory  5 днів тому

      I market it as historical fiction. There is some speculation but I try to ensure that all major characters/events etc are historically accurate. So you can rest assured the major events are historically accurate and event happen in a chronologically accurate way. My attempt to bring some life to history. I do have non 2nd person content on the channel as well...ie regular old historical documentary narrations :)

    This is a fresh approach and I really like it. Rather than a lowly P.O.V. witness to history, here we have an elite witness and plenty of family drama to go with it. Envoy missions can make for wonderful stories. A great example is the 10th century (AD) Mission to the Volga by Ahmed ibn Fadlan - an Arab diplomat's account of his harrowing mission to Norse realms. This inspired Michael Crichton's 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead which threw in the Beowulf story which, in turn, became the film The 13th Warrior.

    Hello friend. Saw your comments re: Roman envoy vid, so giving it a run. I'm sure I'll enjoy. Wondering if you might consider turning your skills towards a history of Arab Al Andalus; the Iberian peninsula fr 711 to 1492. Love your content. Thank you and be well:)

      Thanks for the comment :) This series will have a lot of eastern history. As for Arab history yes its on my list. I want to do more like this but dealing with middle eastern history. Id like to cover the arab invasion of the Sassanian empire first to finish that and then one idea I had was to do a story dealing with the two families...one Arab (Moor) and one Spanish that covers the invasion and subsequent re-invasion of Spain but dealing with both sides.

      I try to make these as historically accurate as possible and this was the time for now that made the most sense for records of an actual envoy from the far west. However, I may do something involving Buyid times separately perhaps something focusing on economics etc as like you I enjoy that period as well.
