Olly is a dumbass

Specifically he said he took the basis of his books from The Accursed Kings (French: Les Rois maudits) a historical novels by French author Maurice Druon

[Haildawn]

This is exactly the kind of content I was looking for. I just finished game of thrones and all I could think of was our own medieval times! Wish there was a reenactment of the whole thing we could watch like a tv show

[haleffect]

It's well done but a bit confusing, it would be better if you had written down the name of the king you're talking about, and the years he reigned

Joanne of Arc was burned at Rouen, not England [19.05]

I've been looking a long time for a good video on the French monarchy. This is the best video on YouTube of the French kings.

[fiasco]

Glad you're back, man. Always enjoy your videos

[RiceyReviews]

Absolutely brilliant! Loved every bit of it the editing was fantastic and I can't wait for the next episode :)

[VeracityLH]

Lovely video, Martin. I look forward to your others.

"Les rois maudits" inspired the Author of Games of Throne.

French history is an infinite source of epic stories

[talchalak]

French monarchy and the Holy Roman Empire is a great reference. However, I think England's War Of The Roses was a big influence on Game Of Thrones

You start at 1054? Shoulda began at 500ad
3:50 Raymond of Antioch, I’m guessing is the same of Toulouse?

[thornzy]

Are you going to make a vid about Last Kingdom season 2? I loved your last one and I also love GOT too!

[kadenelijah]

I’m descended from Henry, I was able to track my exact lineage. Millions of people are also descended from him but it was cool to track the lineage

[njb]

Thank you for making this, I find no shortage of American or British history in the book stores but by no way does that mean that other histories are irrelevant

[nickmcginley]

Strange, you pronounce louis as "lewis", but St Denis is " Saint Denny"

[lilliedoubleyou]

Well done, but the background music overpowers the narration.

[Kuudere-Kun]

Did you pronounced Plantagenet as Protagenet?
