They learned a lot between the bubonic plague and covid19
The story where Joseph's hanged, that made me tear up. That's so very sad.
Seems relevant for the times.
We should follow suit here in the US lol
Ever wondered why history has been suppressed.
Respect the beard good people or evil will find you 😅
the most important people in the land, Winston, were peasants. evil to think otherwise.
I just found your channel and i must say its absolutely brilliant. Im a fan now and keep up the good work.
I read about this case from a true crime book I checked out of our local library, very cruel !!
a cop with no gun is no cop. you were a security guard.
Religion has caused the majority of suffering and death in the world.
I dont like how your logo looks like history channel yet your video included no conspiracy theories or talks of aliens or demons and angles.
This is awful...that entire family hated those girls...
What happened to Gont?
Such sick people.... it's so sad of what they do to other humans..
Has anyone ever told you that you could be Bill Nighey’s brother? The resemblance is striking.
Kevin..You will always be a YT delight across all facets of learning about history and the unique stories that often accompany these events...grand or small.
I'd like to see a film about the peasants revolt, never going to happen of course.
Thank you so much for such fascinating content!
I'm so glad I found your channel! This was brilliant 👏
Hello from a new fan....Please do a video on the Charter of the Forests of 1217 that followed the Magna Carta. Thanks!! This one is very moving. The way medics divert the attention of wounded soldiers with questions about their families and homes and sports teams while also ferociously tying bandages and giving morphia is amazing.
I bet that facial hair wasn't easy to keep on lol. It kinda seems like you were trying to keep your mouth still so the mustache wouldn't fall off.
All three should have gone to Tyburn. Those poor girls!
Not going to mention what the French African troops who occupied the German territory did? All those women raped. If it's the Germans and even Russians doing it it's brought up but because the abusers were black it can't be mentioned. What they did was a lot worse and wide spread than 100 killings
Tine for a rerun. Great content Sir 🙏
❤
I wonder if Henry V kept the arrowhead as a good luck charm.
Awesome work!
the explanation of why all the prices on food and homes is globally high to keep modern serfs poor and stupid.
Legend has it that St. Cuthbert was found to be incorrupt and looked just as he did the day he died.
History doesn't repeat. But it does rhyme.
Question: What Happens of took an Arrow to the Knee? Answer: You'll become an Whiterun Guard
I onda englezi drze pridike drugima i uce ih demokratiji i pricaju o ljudskim pravima fuuujjjjj
It's refreshing to see a historian use models instead of the CGI crap most others use.
Very good but it would have been better to reiterate some points or put up some visual aids. ‘It was x pounds in such and such a date, and Y pounds some years later’. Difficult to take in the details when they’re only given once.
This is why they push identitarian politics and other things to keep us divided.
Thank You ...
Oy vey! That's very anti-semitic of you to bring up coin clipping goyim, we're shutting you down.
Do not think it would not happen again. There is a fight on for our rights, rights to free speech in the sight of blasphemy laws and hate laws . There is shortly to be a new law against the hatred of Islam or to be suffering, quite rightly considering,.... from Islamophobia, a relatively new condition, in name anyway, but not the fear of people with a command from their prophets to kill you. That isn't new, and has been going on in various countries with high levels of Islamic's in their population for over a thousand years. 600 years ago the conquistadors drove them out and back to the sand.
So basically everthing that isn't "too much" is an archer's secondary weapon?
I have one my grandfather had it he used it to keep his loose change in it may he rest in peace 🙏❤️🌹
She knew when she asked that the answer would be 'no' to a divorce. She asked anyway; Shrewd Anne Askew, who was no shrew.
I thought his brother would inherent the tannery and that’s part of the reason he left?
It's an intresting subject, but it makes me wonder how many calories a samurai on campaign would need in comparison to an english soldier? Because the japanese didn't start to eat meat until January 24th 1872, so how many more calories would a just one samurai on campaign due to being a vegetarian to the point that didn't even eat eggs, cheese, butter or drink milk need in comparison?
kevin, i am having a blast going through your videos! please please do more on medieval england, all the dark stories of struggle and how things were at the time is really interesting. the stories of kings and queens lives are like im watching a multi award winning tv drama or something. so so interesting, please keep em coming and i'll keep binging :p please go into the candle wax tax and maybe cover some topics on america and its independance from the british, but i would love a biased opinion from a british perspective. thanks mate, your work is top tier
We have a similar modern age version of this topic today, The globalist new world order tyrants of Europe the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. I think we need a modern-day Peasant revolt because we too are peasants the poor especially and what is left of any middle class if that even exists today.
Sorry, Kevin. I heard Grail Quest and I thought you meant GrailQuest. I started to wonder if you were the inspiration for the phantom Grunweasel (dum da dum dum!)
I just happened to see your video by chance for I was actually looking up videos on Ivan the Terrible. Allow me the honor of giving you my Thanks to you and your video. I was not planning on watching it but I was hooked instantly as soon as I heard the tone and passion in your voice. Then I realized your manner of dress followed by the Set up around you and so on and so forth. Great job and Thank you again for doing what you do in the name of Education and History.
One of my favorite episodes of 'Dad's Army' was the one where Private Godfrey was outcast for being a conscientious objector. He later saves Captain Mainwaring from a fire drill gone wrong and everyone found out he had won the Victoria's Cross for bravery in WW1 as a stretcher bearer. The actor Arnold Ridley was an actual WW1 veteran that survived some serious combat, was wounded, and had a bad shoulder that prevented him from holding a prop rifle for the show, so they made him a medic. (His bicarbonate of soda was his cure all LOL.)
one day you must visit India see some Indian Castle they are huge and beautiful..
