I think this actions in the first crusade were actually the most impressive thing about him. I was watching a documentary the other day, and it seamed like he was decently successful in the crusades.
Well very difficult to live in the shadow of William the Conqueror, most people wouldn't survive or accomplish a Crusade and also live without being murdered while captured
Henry I was a usurper . when Robert II disnt show up, they should have just crowned the last Anglo Saxon claimant. That would have been a far more interesting timeline.
It is certainly an interesting timeline. I think that it would have resulted in a very different England long term, and possibly an entirely different "British Empire"
The English pronounce Gloucester as ‘Gloss-ter’. Similarly, the city of Leicester is pronounced ‘Less-ter’. They are quite well known examples, in the UK, of English spelling not making very much sense.
That reminded me more of latín languages. GL - OU is like french a soft "o"- CES is like the pronunciation of soft C wich sounds like an S or a Long S. Ssss- TER .
Dumped a chamber on their brother's head, escalated to mounted combat. This is the kind of historical gold one lives for. Wonderful stuff.
Right. It makes most modern day disputes seem so tame, and mediocre.

Yeah. He wasn't particularly distinguished outside his crusading career.
*laughs in direct descendant, also cries in direct descendant*
I can see how that would be a conflicting situation.
@@ParryThis this boi started my family line, so great I’m related to a great Crusade leader, but I’m also related to a forever teenage drama Queen.😂😅
The constant flashes in the back ground is really distracting/irritating. It's like a strobe light continuously pulsate. Not good.
The daddy issues was so strong he launched her Rebellion out of spite and was relatively successful

@@ParryThis not really, it would still be a French court even if an Anglo-Saxon claimant became king.
Most of what you so ignorantly claimed, was the lies of Robert's enemies.
So his name was Robert Shortpants...
Short socks
My last name is suppose to be Robert,I think this is the guy my dads family is named after.
Still my favorite son of Williams the bastard

He wasn’t weak just not a great statesman

Yeah, whenever i read that name though, i want to add the extra syllable.

Caligula means "little boots", he used to be a child soldier..
That is true. But i don't see the relevance to this topic.
As one does

Silly Norman's, conquering england and destroying hundreds of years of Anglo saxon development and progress.
Yeah, imagine how different English History would have looked if the island would have remained in Saxon hands.
I know. I can't believe how angry I am about something that happened almost a thousand years ago!
Silly Anglo-Saxons, conquering much of Britain and destroying hundreds of years of Celtic development and progress.
So Henry the 1st murdered is too eldest Brothers to claim the kingship of England.
