Mary and Elizabeth were first cousins once removed.

[bethanywicker]

Elizabeth l wasn't Mary's sister. They were cousins.

[mktf]

Please Biographics just make Karl the permanent host, since Simon ain't coming back.

[bunyipdragon]

James' mother mary was Elizabeth's cousin. Elizabeth had a sister Mary but the two Marys are different women.

I'm liking the cultural anecdotes of Britain that you sprinkle throughout the video. In the States our knowledge of Britain is mostly summed up as; Britain bad guys, then good guys, then James Bond occasionally saves the world; Doctor Who timey whimy's around while Monty Python lampoons it all.

[DarkKnight]

Guy Fawkes has already been covered on this channel

[diversejoe]

Y'all should do a biography of Kevin Conroy, my favorite Batman.

[arrowversetv]

Yea Mary Queen of Scotts weren’t sisters, they were cousins

[td]

Him explaining his name at the beginning was hilarious though.

[adamkokocinski]

I beg you please do a video on Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first Czechslovak president who helped mold post WW1 Europe 🙏

Loving the content 👌

13:53 should've mentioned Lewes Bonfire Night celebrations (where I'm from in the UK) I now live in New Zealand but super amazing memories of how hard they go on the parade through town and celebrations - look it up

[valmid]

Thanks for the historical analysis of the celebrated author of the King James Bible!

Karl, I understand the rivalry between cities. I’m from the “Twin Cities” of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota, USA. 2 cities right across the river from each other. We are constantly arguing about which city is better (It’s obviously Minneapolis!)

[rosenelzor]

The part where you said beat the king, your delivery ( priceless) I just burst laughing! Thanks, I needed that!

[travisinthetrunk]

4:23 I never understood that phrase. “Spare the rod.” Okay, so you won’t use the rod. “Spoil the child.” Give them whatever they want. How does this mean “beat the child.”

[theloverlyladylo]

Love the timing on this! Did y’all mean to release this on the same date as Mary & George (about James’ favorite George Villiers) dropped in the US, or was that a happy accident?

[danielsantiagourtado]

Happy Birthday to the late Akira Toriyama. Can You guys please do his biography?

[yankeecrazy]

Hey everyone! Scriptwriter Ben here, I hope you enjoyed this video! If you'd like to learn more about James VI/I, I highly recommend "James I: Scotland’s King of England" by John Matusiak. Thanks for watching!

Mary, Queen of Scots was NOT Elizabeth's sister. They were first cousins, once removed. Elizabeth's half-sister, Mary Tudor (Mary I) was queen before Elizabeth.
