Watch Serbia & Croatia Compared by Mr. Beat:

One of these days I imagine there being a giant mural somewhere like an art museum or something that connects ALL of your monarch charts.

I spend most of Jack's videos now just waiting to hear him pronounce names and nail it. Being an Englishman, and Cumbrian at that, I would butcher these names!

Peter I was a badass who fought with the French Foreign Legion, fought in the Franco Prussian war, escaped from the Prussians and in the Herzegovina uprising, and was involved in the Paris commune. He translated "On liberty" to Serbian.

You skipped the Vlastimirović dynasty from Serbia which reigned from 7th century.

[igoriljic]

Stefan as a name was more of a dynastic tradition or title than an every day personal name

I know the chart is only Kings, but a look at early medieval (ie. pre-Nemanjić) Serbian dynastic gymnastics would be interesting (and also require a chart to understand).

A deeper look at Montenegro, Bosnia (with the evolution from a Banate to a Kingdom) and (even though it was covered quickly here) a bit of a deeper look at Croatia would also be interesting.

Really Awesome that you covered this topic, it is actually a pretty interesting history! Greetings from a Croat :D

I'm sorry to point out to an error. Croatia was never orthodox. Ever since the days of Duke Branimir - which predates, obviously, king Tomislav Croats were loyal to pope. Quote: During the solemn divine service in St. Peter's church in Rome in 879, Pope John VIII gave his blessing to the duke and the whole Croatian people, about which he informed Branimir in his letters. The Pope brought the very decision on 21 May 879, and confirmed it in his letter from 7 June 879.This was the first time that the Croatian state was officially recognized.

Is it just me, or is Jack's voice deeper than usual?

Have you ever considered doing a video on the Spanish monarchy if they had followed the Carlist line? Similar to your Jacobite pretenders chart.

Mihajlo Vojislavljevic was the first Serbian king. He was crowned by Pope Gregory VII in 1077. There is well known material evidence that his son was a king as well, having inherited his father's crown. Therefore, this was not a single generation historical fluke. It would have been an amazing side topic for this video to get into how Balkan nations and cultures keep reemerging as distinct cultural, social, political and most importantly territorial units that no empire has ever managed to extinguish. While the Balkans are far from a graveyard of empires the likes of Afghanistan, their defiance is interesting in their own right as their diplomatic tactics are those of "mercenary" states.

I see Montenegro as Serbian state on a chart. Milo Đukanović disliked this video.

Several (about 11) European monarchies ended following the two world wars (as did Croatia and Yugoslavia). Others (France, Portugal and Greece) ended between 1870 and 1973. I think it would be interesting to see who would rule these kingdoms today. I often wonder if the monarchies that survive have been helped or hurt by the practice of marrying commoners, and would find it interesting to know what the pool of spousal candidates would be if other monarchies had survived.

[filiplovric]

You left out a lot about Croatia. Like how the wife of Stephen I was Hicela Orseolo the daughter of the venetian doge, which would explain why their son Peter Krešimir IV (Peter being the name he took when he was crowned) leaned more towards Rome, or how Svetoslav, also known as Suronja (meaning: cold/dark) was dethroned by his brothers Krešimir III and Gojslav and was expelled to Venice only for his grandson Zvonimir to retake the throne after the death of Krešimir IV who had no male heir. There was also queen Jelena, the wife of Michael Krešimir II who ruled shortly as a regent after her husbands death, since their son Držislav was too young. There's a lot more than that to Croatia but I guess you did say you were gonna take just a quick look. Other than that you did a good job on Serbia and I like the chart.

A mistake at Kresimir part. Croatia was already Catholic before him. He just made it offical.

[jojotoneva]

Could you do a Bulgarian monarchs family tree? That would be great to see it in such details, especially since a few Serbian princesses married into it.

[arajic]

I like how he can pronounce the names correctly

[Sandra.Molchanova]

"He said the only way to bring change was to shoot him, and, well, that's what happened" 🤣🤣🤣

1:46 Croatia was literally never largely an orthodox nation by religion, not even at a single point in it's history.
I even tried to look it up, so that I wouldn't make a fool out of myself, and I literally found absolutely nothing regarding the eastern orthodox religion in Croatia during the Great Schism. The predecessor of Petar Kresimir, Stephen I of Croatia, is also considered to be a Catholic monarch. I belive that your sources were wrong about that.
