I am an impecunious farmer of the West Country. I have no television or radio. At night I desire nothing more than to sit in the dark by the fire in my 1500s farmhouse, listening to history on YouTube.
You have gifted me with many future hours of enjoyment and enlightenment.
Thank you so much.

Dear Mr Starkey, i just want to let you know, that you are appreciated even in Czech Republic. I am stay-at-home mum and love to listen to you and your historic lectures !

That's just wonderful. Starkey's (utterly disgraceful) defenestration from Cambridge has gifted us with a priceless teacher.

This man is nothing short of a national treasure. Deep, deep knowledge of his subjects combined as it is with his infectious passion for history and a rare ability to bring it to life makes him truly unmissable.

This is older style academically based history, of which there is less and less by the minute. It is a good thing that so much of it is being recorded and will be available when people come to realize that history has gotten way too specialized, not to mention often taught by people who are axe-grinders first and historians second, producing what Henry Ford might, this time correctly, call "bunk". As Dr. Starkey has said, "The core of history is narrative and biography". Keep on rockin', Doc.

The uncancellable Mr Starkey, another great video .

[johnkad]

As always, I am impressed by the discussion of methods and the evaluation of sources. We are all getting an education from David Starkey.

[brandonshaw]

If I may say, you are looking well and very smart with an enviable bookshelf too. Keep educating us Dr. Starkey 😊

[jameskenny]

Thank you David. I’m a history undergraduate at Oxford and you’ve helped me significantly in my Wars of the Roses paper.

Could listen to David Starkey all day 💫🇬🇧

Fabulous. I specialised in the period concerning Richard iii and The Princes in the Tower 15 years ago at University. I spent hours studying many sources such as Virgil, Mancini and The Crowland Chronicle. This video brought to the surface in my mind the many names and events of the late 15century that I have not thought about for some time. Thank you! It was a special time in history and my life.

It was interesting to hear Dr Starkey's discussion of Margaret Beaufort at the end of Henry VII's reign. I've always been fascinated by her - not least after seeing her Book of Hours at Westminster Abbey. She had such an active and pivotal role in bringing Henry to the throne then it seems to me that she steps back a lot. I wonder - did she feel her work was done or did her son sideline her? I'd love to hear Dr Starkey's thoughts on Margaret Beaufort's role and influence during the reign of Henry VII.

[annwilliams]

Wow! That was fascinating. Thank you Dr Starkey.

[jimfranklinstqwe]

Thank you Mr Starkey for all that you do. You have many fans in England and all around the world. 🙌🏻💪🏻

[flanamom]

Outstanding, as usual. With a great dose of history, factually and interestingly presented by the great Dr. David Starkey, I feel positively exhilarated. Wonderful!

[mickymantle]

Dear Mr Starkey, I would love to hear your interpretation of the reign of King James 1. After the 'Classical' reign of Elizabeth 1 this must have been a very precarious time & a shock to the old English aristocracy.

[KalaVeritates]

Thank you so much for these wonderful talks. Primary source information gladdens my heart.

[emmcee]

Absolutely wonderful fascinating listening. Thank you so much!
