I watched the individual episodes but, I swing back for the complete series.
You know a social studies teacher is using this in class while they grade essays.

"Charles I kept falling into traps that he had layed down himself". Cant remember where I heard this but I feel this sums his actions nicely 😂

Best history documentaries are on YouTube channels like this. Nothing as good as this on TV anymore

Cromwell is the embodiment of “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

[AndreyAlcoforado]

A 3 hours documentary? That’s awesome!!

Due to this being Charles I's birthday you couldn't help but see the appropriate timing.

This has always been an area of history I’ve been unfamiliar with but this documentary has really helped me grasp how Cromwell became a leader and the end of his regime.

[BrokenSymetry]

Simply amazing, you've lifted educational content on YouTube to a new level!

[willmc]

Fascinating stuff. I’m an Ulster Prod myself.

I remember reading that the Scots Covenanters attended their church services armed. And with sentry’s posted in all corners of the church.

[calebanderson]
