- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Dan Snow concludes his journey in Yorkshire. The north of England suffered a series of brutal military campaigns known as the Harrying of the North, that ended up with the Normans taking control all over the country. The historian examines the architectural legacy of the invasion, visiting landmarks such as Helmsley Castle and Rievaulx Abbey, and learns how a local lord established an institution that revolutionised the community and trade of the moors.

A tremendously good video. I'm enjoying this "walk" series. And the bonus was no talk of Netflix!!
On my only trip (so far!) to Britain, Rievaulx Abbey was my favorite standalone spot (Orkney was my favorite region). I don’t know why, but it really touched something in me and I was just captivated by it! I wish we could have spent the whole day there.
I hope after this series Dan Snow does a series on the Saxons
Thet will be great
Great lessons here! I was in Yorkshire (too briefly!) many years ago, but was unaware of any of this Norman influence. Thanks for your passion for history, Dan! Fun!
CHRIST! - that countryside you British have, is JAW-DROPPING!
Some of the comments on here are unbelievable. I grew up near York and no we did not try and rebuild Revaulx etc or the Norman castle in the village i lived in.
I love this show, I learn a lot! Presenter is Great & locations help me understand.
York is way up on my bucket list of places to visit... Someday.
Looks boring CV one to Africa
More of these please??
My ancestors come from Yorkshire ,” Hawnby Hall”!! So I think this is so interesting! Love it
Most of my mom’s ancestors come from Yorkshire too! I also enjoy learning everything I can about the history of this wonderful place. The folks from Yorkshire call it “God’s own country” and I know why!
The history of the cistercians is always fascinating. Thanks for a great episode. :)
The leftover churches, cathedrals, chapels, monasteries, castles, fortresses, palaces, and temples are all worth it yeah
An excellent video. Given current events in England it is lent a certain poignancy.
King Steve sounds pretty chill
Oh, please, just call him Steve, "King" is his father
The focus of Snow’s videos touch on an era preceding the Industrial Revolution.
The railroads, the mills, and what came afterwards has brought the world to the precipice of the 21st century. When he spoke of Yorkshire I was hoping for at least a brief mention of the “Romantic Era” if Keats, Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley and of course, the Bronte Sisters. The poets and artists of the 19th century were inspired by the same castles and stone ruins that deserve a more literary and poetic look. How could anyone mention “the Moors” with not a mention of “Wuthering Heights”? Think I’ll re-read it and put aside the ruins, the conquests, the armies, and all the the wars.
Reparations for the Saxons!
I wish my country looked like this
Blessings
All these learned people of our time, forget that Minsters, Castles, Cathedrals were built by the people on almost starvation wages.
Nothing has changed eh!!
1:22 that guy in the wheelchair must've thought " nope, Don't wanna be on TV" 😀
York....pah Long live Lancaster! ;-)
I wish I could have seen the abbeys before they were ruined. It's so painful that they were destroyed or co-opted. So much history lost.
Self-sufficient monks with 450 labourers looking after them.
Hahahaha lol They did not have 450 labourers looking after them. They may have employed a large number of people at various times of the year though. Men would go to abbys looking for work and quite often would stay long term as it was steady employment. Also, abbys became centres of commerce due to their connections with other abbys all over Europe. This enabled them to sell all of the wool brought to them by dozens of farmers at a better price than they could have gotten selling their wool on their own.
what you know about celtic belgium
Did York ever withstand a siege?
As it seemed everyone sacked York.
The show needs more Viking,….

Nada relacionado ao conteúdo do documentário, tá. Mas, gente do céu, ou essa senhora é quase anã ou o apresentador é um descendente dos Avatar.
The first two videos in this series were pretty good, but this one suffers from such poor sound quality I gave up on it.

Henry VIII will be cast into the outer darkness forever for what he did to Britain's beautiful Abby's.
For the sake of his own greed he destroyed the most beautiful and numerous monasteries in all of Europe.
I find it incredible that these massive structures lie in ruins all over Britain. Were these the monasteries that were closed down by King Henry VIII, and they were just left to wrack and ruin?
Pretty much. With no one to maintain them it didn’t take long for them to fall apart. Also, since they were empty locals would help themselves to various building materials for whatever they were building. Kind of a waste not want not scenario. So over several centuries they became shells of their former grand selves. Oh and don’t forget it was a lot easier to take a large beam or two than it was to find a tree and cut it down then rough saw new beams that need to cure an dry before being used
@@prepperjonpnw6482 How sad. I understand the desire to reuse this or that material yet the idea of harvesting resources from the abbey strikes me as cold, calculating, and even anti-English.
@@npickard4218 in their minds back then they were just resuing unwanted materials i guess. like we do today with buildings however ours arent near as beautiful anymore
@@npickard4218 you must be joking
@@65stang98 Sure but it seems like an attack on all that is sacred.
Year 7 brought me here smh
So, how much salt 🧂 to salt the fields...fact check... that be alot of salt 🧂
What Dan has not noted was as a result of all that Norman brutality in what had been Anglo-Saxon England many of those same freedom loving Anglo-Saxons headed north to escape the persecutions/massacres at the hands of the Normans.
Those fleeing Anglo-Saxons took root in the Scottish Lowlands that already had its own mix of old time Anglo-Saxons and native Brythonic folks. Over the next few hundred years those Scottish Lowlands were to serve as the incubator for an ever greater enterprise, the creation of the Scots-Irish/Ulster Scots that eventually found their way to America to serve as one of the biggest anchors in the founding of the greatest country ever to exist, as well as the greatest governing documents ever to be established...the Declaration of Indeopendence and the U.S. Constitution where the individual freedom and liberty that the Normans prevented the Lowlanders from being able to experience was now to be finally experienced on the new continent.
Yes, folks, the individual freedom and liberty loving descendents of King Harold's supporters live on in the heartland of America, and the red coats finally got their come-up-ins in the 1780's, at the hands of the descendeents of those folks that were terrorized in Northern England and eventually the Scottish Lowlands and even in Ulster!!
Yes, these folks that arrived in America were devout Christians too, but they had a different vision than the descendents of the Normans did, and most of all tey wanted to be left alone to live and worship as they so desired!!
You are joking right?
Almost everything you said is WRONG.
Chuck, your comments are music to my ears. I teach history in the United States and what you say is exactly spot-on.
Dan Snow has an amazing talent. He can take any interesting subject and make it as boring as a grass growing watchers annual monthly meeting.
Lol
I hope this guy is washing his clothes that he's been wearing for the past 2 episodes
Change his clothes?You do know that he has a large production crew with him.He's not exactly sleeping rough.
That woman has a lovely figure.
Which one? The old lady?
You are most likely my cousin
horrible quality
Rebecca Snow is my great grandmother
