The kingly splendor conceals a lot of tragedy. These people lived tough lives. Great videos.
No to banderites
I am a huge royal monarchy fan and I have been looking for some thing that goes into details about each of the Plantagenet monarch And your documentaries make me feel not only more educated about these kings but learning new stuff as well. I so appreciate your videos and your channel. Please continue to create content
I hope you continue this lecture with other royal monarchies across Europe
This channel is so underrated! Keep up the good work :)
It's brand new. Give it time.
@@Unknowngfyjoh I think who ever has made this channel has put a lot of time and effort into it!
Agreed
Agreed.

I’m absolutely loving these docos mate! Keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍
Edward III is my favourite medieval monarch
One of our greatest monarchs; usually designated 'The Father of the English Nation'.
Loving the Channel. Keep up the great work!
I've always found ed-3 a very interesting character. And one I wish was talked about more.
Read or listen to The Perfect King by Ian Mortimer.
@@mrmu7ammed1 thanks I will!
@@mrmu7ammed1I know I am late but Edward lll death was so sad.
@@phantomkelvink4225 perfect embodiment of " You Either Die a Hero or Live Long Enough to See Yourself Become the Villain"
He oulived his competent heir to be succeeded by a child who turned out to be unworthy of the throne of 1st and 3rd Edwards, nor was he worthy of the name of Richard 1st nor his great uncle Richard of Cornwall
Great video. I am fairly familiar with the history of the English monarchy but definitely learning things from your videos.
I really enjoyed the series and I’m looking forward to more.
I foresee that your channel will be a great success. Keep it coming!
Thank you. I much enjoy all of your videos. ❤️
I really enjoyed it, great job! Thanks
Keep up the good work love your videos look forward to the next one.
Thank you for the compliment! Much appreciated!
Great videos, keep em coming
I love these videos. Narrator speaks a bit fast. Maybe just slow a little. Great content and well done 😊
Great content! Keep it up :)
I find it fascinating how the blood line criss-cross, yet it doesn't make anyone any closer in the end.
I’ve been waiting on this
Our greatest king post 1066 .
... so far! I hope I live long enough to see how William does.
Every history book I've seen on this period says that Charles IV was happy for Edward II's French possessions to be transferred to Prince Edward if Edward II wasn't willing to come to France (he even made this suggestion) provided the Prince came in person to pay homage. Edward II's main supporters, the Despensers, feared what would happen if the Prince was outside of the King's ie their control.
Hello again. Are we in disagreement? I never said that Charles opposed this in the video.
@@BriefHistoryOfficial all you said was Edward II sent Prince Edward to France to pay homage to his uncle, skipping the actual rsason for doing so and leaving the viewer to assume that Edward II had done this iff his own bat.
You say that every book you have seen on this period indicated that Charles made the suggestion. I will cite my two sources. The first is a book titled Edward III, A Heroic Failure by Jonathan Sumption, a medieval Historian and former Supreme Court judge in the UK. In his book he writes, "His father, who was desperate to avoid doing homage to the French king in person, had hit upon the idea of transferring the duchy of Aquitaine to his heir and sending him to do homage in his place. Charles IV agreed to this proposal, probably at the suggestion of his sister, who saw an opportunity to extract her son from the Despensers’ grip..." I will also site Edward II, The Terrors Of Kingship" by Christopher Given Wilson a professor of history at the University of St Andrew's. In his book he writes "A few days later, however, he changed his mind: instead, he wrote to Charles on 24 August saying he was ill, then returned to London. The French did not believe him, although they could hardly accuse him openly of lying, but many in England too saw it as an unnecessary provocation....." Here are two sources written by medieval historians, one that does not mention Charles being the one that suggested, the other that flat out disagrees with your point. With that being said, I fully acknowledge that you most likely have sources that say the contrary. However, I am also aware that sources don't always agree and based on the wealth of knowledge in this area that you have portrayed to me in our previous interaction, I know that you are well aware of that too. The only difference is, I am not actively trying undermine your credibility
@@BriefHistoryOfficial Ian Mortimer has the suggestion of Prince Edward being given the duchies and other French lands being made in France in negotiation with the Bishop of Winchester in early September 1325 after the original agreement was reached with Edward II in June.
Great show! When can we get more?!
Thanks for this video, I recently discovered I'm a direct descendant of King Edward III (via John of Gaunt) and wanted to learn about him.
Great video, it's really informative.
And James Audley is a direct descendant of mine
@freedomforall236 a descendant that means he's your son or grandson or similar I think you mean he's your ancestor unless you are a time traveller or immoral
Loooove this channel 💪🏼😍✌🏻
Just found your channel for the first time today and watched all of the videos you've done really good work keep it up
The Greatest Shame in English history is that the Black Prince never became King. Had the Black Prince and his son Edward lived then there would have 5 King Edwards in a row.
There would have been 5 Edwards in a row is what I think you mean. Had they reigned, we would have had a total of 10 king Edwards in England.
@@gothmamasylvia462 There's been 11 Edwards. Mustn't forget Edward the Confessor and Edward the Martyr.
Why was he called The Black Prince:?
@@ladyagnes9430 The armour that Edward wore was black, hence the name.
@@Michael_De_Santa-Unofficial I obviously didn't know that. Thank you so much for the clarification
He is one of my many great grandfathers. I was born on November 13th just like he was.
@@FutureBoyWonder Actually it probably is, alot of people in england are loosely related to royals
@@FutureBoyWonder Because many people are related to charlamagne and this king is related to him etc,you get the point
@@FutureBoyWonder It was proved by a mathmatician from either Harvard or Stanford but ok
@@FutureBoyWonder you keep saying " as far as im concerned" "if you ask me"
Im not asking you tho,the facts are there and its been proven by some pretty smart people but ok theres not point trying to convince you, and you ask how thousands and thousands of people could be related to one person? Its simple maths
Hes is also my 19 x great grandad I am from the line of his son John of gaunt and his mistresses Katherine swynford
I always keep my eyes open for these haha
Thanks!!!
Just subbed , do a video about the conversion of England
You were very direct about saying that Edward's mother was having an affair with Roger Mortimer. Why then calling Edward II 's "favorite" in Dispenser? It was well reported that he was Edward II's 2nd " favorite" and favorites were his homosexual affairs.
Look at 31:37....Thats a double barrel cannon 💥 check out the breech loader canisters on the ground....Something is written on the tent i can make out 3 letters AME ....love looking at those contemporary paintings....we need all evidence provided in writings paintings etc to more understand our past....Great work by this channel
Often forgotten?Not over here he ain't!
Good channel
My family ancestry in England goes well back into the 11th century at least, and this is a wonderful way to learn about the Thousand Years of history of this wonderful country through its monarchs. Bravo and keep up the good work
what is the name of the castle at 33:31?
I'm descended from Edward III, through my mother's side of the family.
you should inherit the throne.
when is the new episode coming
It would be great to hear you do videos for Matilda and Isabella as well.
Will you make videos about other kings from diffrent countries?
Hello. I have not ruled anything out at that point. So always a possibility
French kings and queens would be great.
Edward III taking political power from Isabella and Mortimer is the greatest teenage rebellion in history
There are alternatives to the word "however".
4:53 "a young king who yielded no power" ... either he held no power or he gave up no power, we'll never know which
Just waiting for the Richard ii video 🤔
a·kwuh·tayn... It's driving me nuts. Good videos for sure.
Hello. Glad you are enjoying the videos. Aquitaine is a French territory and I am using the French pronunciation of the word. Cheers!
@@BriefHistoryOfficial why? You don't use French pronunciation for other regions of France.
9:20 marking my spot
Edward the 3rd was a chivalry nerd
Began the hundred years
Princess Diana was descended of the De Spensers
I knew the Spencer name was familiar
I'm not sure if that can be proved
@@pedanticradiator1491 You are right : it has never been proved.
Telling picture at 22:14. Looks like one stripped body in a mass grave with 2 live men at the top actively stealing the armor and valuables on the dead men....LiDar could likely find more of these mass graves
Mortimer and co weren't preparing for bed. They were in conference with Isabella in her chambers. One of those at this meeting was the Bishop of Lincoln, who was captured trying to escape via the garderobe shoot.
Hello. Although I have no intention of responding to every critical or corrective comment I do find it neccessary sometimes to respond to give insight for anyone who may read this. Although I agree with you in part, this ads little to the grand story and was intentionally passed over, as this is a "Brief History" and not intended to include every such detail. "Prepping for bed" is used for Isabella, and extended to Mortimer casually to easily set the scene for the listener without going into minute detail. My sources are in the video description and I will quote the book, Edward III, A Heroic Failure by Jonathan Sumption, a medieval Historian and former Supreme Court judge in the UK. He writes in his book "They burst into Isabella’s apartment, where they found her preparing for bed. Mortimer was in an adjoining room with some friends. There was a fight. Two of Mortimer’s attendants were killed and a third executed on the spot". If you expect to find every detail, such as the one you have noted, not only on the main character of the story, but the adjacent characters such as that of Mortimer in this situation, I fear you will be disappointed
@@BriefHistoryOfficial different sources tel us different aspects. For example, Ian Mortimer's on Roger Mortimer states that there were 3 killed by Edward's men - Sir Hugh de Turpingham, who attempted to raise the alarm, Richard de Monmouth a squire who had escaped form the Tower with Roger Mortimer, and an unnamed usher. Sir Hugh's cries did warn Mortimer and his cronies, but to no avail. The incident with the bishop, whose cousin had been executed by Edward II after the Lancastrian revolt of 1322, is one of those humorous incidents that rarely gets mentioned. The Bishop's cousin was Bartholomew Burgeresh who had held Leeds Castle when Queen Isabella had been refused admission and was the first of the opponents of Edward II to fall from grace. Thomas of Lancaster came to his aid and then turned away as he didn't like the man (all of my sources fail to mention what this dispute was about).
The situation in Nottingham Castle in October 1330 also needs a little clarification. Edward III had numerous household knight, squires, pages and servants in his retinue, all bar 1 (a body servant) were refused lodging in Nottingham Castle for each night of the Parliament on Lady Isabella's orders (she was no longer Queen after Edward II's abdication) and had to reside either within the city or in tents in the deer park below the sandstone mound the castle sat upon. William Eland, a scout from the castle by the third day of Parliament had told William Montecute (also recorded as Montegue) of the secret passages from the deer park to the castle. Montecute lead 20 knights through these passages now known as Mortimer's Hole (recently reopened after the lager lurgi died down) to capture Mortimer.
As an aside, Henry of Lancaster had originally been lodged in an inn in Nottingham until Isabella found out and complain that how dare such a notorious enemy be lodged so close to her. He left Nottingham for Leicester.
There's far too much going on in English history for a 3 hour film, let alone a brief history film like yours. Why did I ever decide to set my novel in this era? I must be mad.
Wooo look at all of these new people here. Did one of the videos get featured or did someone promote this channel?
Hello again. Not sure, I believe the algorithmic powers that be have nodded in my general direction.
Oooo nice.
I never understood the preoccupation with governing France the kings of this time had
Surely they would have been better off dealing with the conflicts between Wales and Scotland and the English crown than wasting all the money on wars abroad not to mention the bloodshed
Watching this although it's brilliantly done I felt the conclusion that Edward III was a great king wasn't really true
That's not to criticise the channel though which I LOVE ❤
The painting of a post battle field with the Black Prince alone in the middle is so badass--Be a good one to have upon the wall
Wonder what all these previous monarchs would think of what's happening to the island now
Hard to say. There's been so much social, religious, cultural, and heath development in world history that they'd be more concerned about general developments than any kingdom in particular (probably).
I mean, the idea of colonies (and decolonization), capitalism, and the concept that a sizeable amount of people are openly atheist would be either hard to explain or unfathomable to most European rulers of the Middle Ages.
Not to say Medieval people were morons (I think higher of them than most), but they'd have a hard time adapting.
👍
and people think that life in 2021 is F'd up. damn.
Big Ed
Aren't humans quite silly. Bless 'em.
Can you please give me sources to your statement that Edward III was bad at handling finances?
Hello. Yes of course. My sources are always listed in the video description as well. I will cite a book titled Edward III, A Heroic Failure by Jonathan Sumption, a medieval Historian and former Supreme Court judge in the UK. In his book he writes, "Finance was always Edward III’s weak point. He had little understanding of the problems of taxation or credit and was bored by administration. He tended to fund his enterprises on a hand-to-mouth basis, without budgets or forecast"
@@BriefHistoryOfficial I enjoyed the video and I appreciate the effort, it’s just that I’ve read a lot about Edward III including “Edward iii: a perfect king” by Ian Mortimer and “Wars of Edward III” by Clifford J Rogers and I’m a little bit in to “Edward III by W. M. Ormrod, I’ve done tones of research and I’ve never read or heard about him being foolish or not knowing how to handle finances. From what I read, he spent a lot money on outlandish things for the purpose of propaganda, to draw attention to his kingliness rather than his lack of finances but he ended up paying all his debts and making a lot money while also holding the king of Scotland as well as the king of France as prisoners at the same time. Now he wasn’t a perfect king but he was definitely not a failure nor was he a fool. I don’t mean to be rude, I’m just very passionate about Edward III because I’m planning to do a video series myself.
all hail Edward Magnus!
Good stuff. Watch out using words like "however" too much. ;)
Great video, however..... ;)
😊
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 21st great grandfather
Deftly, not daftly.
Regular person " Thrones is such an amazing story!"
Me: "You're funny"
King Edward III is amazing...... Yes I love Thrones
your view of the Black Prince seems much more negative than those presented by other historians. I was wonfering why that was so. Not picking sides here, just wondering.
The she wolf of france why didn't you say his dad was at war with her cause he had a male lover he favored more then her jw
2 of my grandparents are from UK.
One of them married a 10 year old child.
I wish I could remove his DNA from my bloodline. Alas.
'King of the romans'...you mean Roman empire?
King of the Romans was the 'official' title of an Emperor-elect of Germany who had not been crowned by Pope as Holy Roman Emperor (or, less often, it was used as the title for the eldest son of an Emperor whose future election had already been confirmed).
Charles V was the last Holy Roman Emperor to be annointed; after that, the Pope allowed the German ruler to style himself as Emperor without a coronation, so his successors became Emperors automatically upon their election.
Meghan Markle is related to King Edward the 3rd.
Typical Scots hassling England when they're away fighting others,
Jocks were Always Allied with France , lol
Edward 3rd had both the Scottish king and French kings in tower of London at the same time .. BooM
Well England was quite good at attacking countries/dutchys who was fighting aswell. What Longshank did against Scotland was kinda cuntish after fighting with together in the holy land & lied etc tho. It ls still quite common way to do just in another way. But yeah having 2 kings in the tower is quite epic achivement:>
@@emilpeterson7034 all those English victories, mostly outnumbered by the French, so its strange the 100yrs war ended with a French girl leading French armies to victory.
Yet It still baffles me why the French king & church gave her to the English who burnt her as a heretic .
Although the French victories came after the English king Henry 5th died of dysentery ( the soldiers disease) as it was called
I wonder how things would've turned out had he lived until his son grew up to go on campaign with his father and learn the art the tactics of warfare .
Instead of dying while his son was just a baby, used by England lords for their own gains with just his mother to confide to .
As we know Henry 6th was a weak king,, without any interest in warfare without any lord who genuinely cared about his future and not used like a puppet,
Edward 3rd son 'the black prince " was as fierce a warrior as his father, leading armies into victory, like at crecy aged just
16 years old.
Henry 5th was fighting by the same age, he took an arrow to his face aged 16 at the battle of Shrewsbury .
Even after fighting the Welsh & the Scottish and the French for so many years, after the 100 years war ended and having a baby as king, Lancaster began fighting the Yorkist army ( wars of the Roses) like they didn't know how to sort things out peacefully. ⚔ the English loved to fight..
Well the lords did , the regular people had no choice..
England's warrior king...... should be mentioned he lost every war he fought.
Battle of crecy?
@@gerritpeacock3571 That's a battle, not a war. Edward won a lot of battles, but he didn't win many wars...
Geeee i wonder who were all these loans to? Wonder what tribe they belong to. 🤔
its a small thing, but when you refer to the French provinces, you always try and pronounce Aquitaine as the French would pronounce it, and yet you refer to Brittany as "Brittany" vs. "Bretagne". Be consistent.
Consistency is key. It's fun learning how places are pronounced in their language of origin... but if people recognize the English pronunciation just use the English one! Communication is more important than looking smarter than your audience.
I’ve seen brave heart. His father was William Wallace!
Haha, right!!
William Wallace: executed 1305.
Edward III: born 1312...hmm...
@@Georgieastra People need to look at dates more often! I saw one person suggest Edward Longshanks should have selected his second surviving son, Thomas of Brotherton as successor instead of Edward II...
...Without understanding that Thomas was less than 10 years old at the time and his older half-brother Edward was already in his twenties. Yeah, b/c appointing a minor ruler while an adult w/ a better claim is running around is a great idea... if you want to start a civil war lol!
Brave heart wasn’t a factual film just Hollywood rubbish just like the crown 🤴
I've seen Braveheart too. I found 2 irrefutable facts in the whole movie and that wasn't one of them.
Please stop reading the script but tell the story. Slow down and tell us in a convincing narrative. Don’t just read it.
Agree strongly. A normal speaking voice would convey the content so much better than all this gabbling.
ARE THESE NARRATIONS A PROGRAM OR AN APP OR SOMETHING? THE MISPRONUNCIATIONS ARE SUSPICIOUS AND INSULTING. AND I SEE THAT A LOT IN DOCS. THE WRITERS AND EDITORS DON'T SEE IT? MAYBE PROPER NOUNS JUST AREN'T THAT IMPORTANT TO THEM.
parabens agora entendi a historia muito o rigado
