I've compiled a reading list of my favourite history books via the Amazon influencer program. If you do choose to purchase any of these incredible sources of information then Amazon will send me a tiny fraction of the earnings (as long as you do it through the link) (this means more and better content in the future) I'll keep adding to and updating the list as time goes on:-

It's trilogy time again. This is the first part in a new series spanning the epic twilight of Post-Roman Britain. One of the least well recorded periods in history. It was originally going to include the kingdoms of the Old North but the script was over 10, 000 words so that's going to be the next video, and then there's going to be a third one too. I visited many of the places involved in this video and have been/ am going to to many more for the next two. Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video and why not share it with a like minded friend who loves history. Let me know any questions or concerns in the comments section & thanks for watching!

This channel is what The History Channel was supposed to be before it got taken over by truckers and pawn shop owners.

Amazing that a single man makes better documentaries than most of the so called professionals.

[amanitamuscaria]

Your productions put shame on all these so called documentaries on mainstream TV and cable channels. Thank you so much.

[sandvenexplorer]

This channel is really GREAT. Who need TV when you have YouTube and channels like this? Watching from my hotel in Thailand and the TV is crap, thanks for this upload.

[TreforTreforgan]

Just want to thank you for your hard work in producing this. I’m a first language speaking Welsh/Old Briton who has an Irish father (who doesn’t have one of them though, right:)) and as such have always been aware of how pre Anglo Saxon Britain has been largely ignored by mainstream media. Your enthusiasm is paramount and your works are meticulous and are as masterful as any big budget documentary I’ve seen. Diolch yn fawr/go raith maith agat.

I've only recently found this channel. And as an avid watcher of historical documentaries these are among the best I have ever watched. Very informative and well edited

[dudesweet]

This channel reminds me of what the History channel used to be when I was growing up. Great informative documentaries. Gives me hope for humanity. Keep up the great work.

[HistorywithCy]

Wow, you've put in so much work and dedication into this by personally going to many of these sites and documenting them yourself! That's amazing and I'm sure it's given you a level of understanding and depth about these places that one just can't get from books alone - it definitely shows in your documentary. You also do an amazing job of connecting Roman Britain to the early middle ages and make it so much easier to understand for those of us (like myself) who don't know much about this era. Thanks so much for sharing your love of early Britain with us...really looking forward to parts II and III!

They were the watchers on the wall, the shields that guarded realms of men.

[welshed]

I think the impact that we Welsh have had on the history of these islands, is painfully understated. Great video 👍🏻

[gokukevind]

There is something about this period in both Britain and Ireland that is simply magical to put it.

[massaweedam]

This channel has quickly become my favorite history based channel on youtube. The length and depth the videos have, as well as really good books mentioned and shown (I've ordered quite a few already, thanks for showing me some great literature!) makes this channel fantastic!

Thank you for uploading these, and heres to many more like it! Keep up the good work man.

[barbarahinch]

You deserve to be recognized for your incredible diligence and scholarship. In a world where far too many content creators seem to think everyone likes a shallow TikTok style, you give us the meat of a university course. Keep it up!

[Valantis]

I'm on the high end of the autism spectrum and tend to focus on a few subjects very vigorously. I have been fascinated by Roman Britain and post Roman British history for years. I devour it and find it so interesting. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you.

[shurik]

This reminds me to re-read Bernard Cornwell's books about Arthur.

[regular-joe]

Not even a quarter of the way through the video, and I've already learned so much more than I'd heard before, especially the unintended consequence of broad scale Roman citizenship. I'm ready now for the rest!
Edit: I suspect I'm going to be watching this one several times.

[karl]

Your work is superb. Even without financial and technical infrastructure you outmatch many other producers by sheer scientific quality of the content, your good narrative presentation and intellectual objectiveness. Thank You and all the best mate.

[jordanwaugh]

I live a few miles from Birdoswald, Hadrian’s Wall is a beautiful part of the country! Great video once again!

[ArchYeomans]

This is one of the best documentary channels covering world history on YouTube.
