The quality of your maps is insane. Makes a huge difference in gaining a detailed understanding!

Liam Neeson and his "very particular set of skills" caught me offguard lmao

[kaspernielsen]

I love geography and I admire your sense of detail in these maps. e.g the Netherlands have their actual correct size for the time, and not the reclaimed area they have now. maybe people miss these small details, but when u see them done right it is oh so satisfying to look at. :)

One of my favorite medieval characters. Not only by his influence and important role in medieval history, but for all he achieved during his lifetime. I can't wait for the next episode of the series, and congratulations to HistoryMarche for another great production.

The partition in chapters and the quotes of historians really give an edge to your videos

Me: This day can't be better
HistoryMarche: Hey there

[fergusmallon]

Clean, concise, Informative. This is the best video on Charlemagne. He laid the groundwork for modern Europe.

I am still PATIENTLY awaiting the Hannibal series so please HistoryMarche make my wish come true

[jeffagain]

Thanks very much once again HistoryMarche for an outstanding vid!
Just wanted to take a moment to mention that I am extremely happy to see your use of some of the most noteworthy paintings history has provided us, no more so than that of The Coronation of Charlemagne, at the T.S. 8:50 mark.

I once saw a film that explained in great detail (forgive me, I forget the name of it) why the great artists drew what they drew. In essence, every person in these frescoes are there for a reason and in fact their individual gestures, expressions, actions, dress, etc has strong reason for being the way they are in the painting.
An absolutely fascinating revelation to me back then and I've since tried to discover the hidden meanings portrayed in all the great artworks, since.
Folks may wish to do the same, as it reveals FAR MORE to a painting than we ever actually imagined!

One of the best channels. So detailed and vivid. The quality is bombastic. Thanks for making these amazing videos!

[vladtarniceru]

Great video and great editing! Just something I would love to have: the current year should always be displayed in the top-left side of the screen (it would be very nice to see how the years pass by as I observe the teritorial changes) and also to have the current age of each character displayed near/inside their flag. Anyways, thanks again for the great work & content, I learn a lot from it!

The maps just keep getting mappier. Love it!

At 13:58 it states that the Pope believes he has implicit superiority over the emperor. But this is not the case.
The understanding was that the Pope had supremacy over spiritual matters and the Emperor had supremacy over earthly matters.
That is why, if I am not mistaken, the Emperor kneels before the Pope to be crowned but after he is crowned the Pope bows to him.

One of the best presentation I’ve ever seen, amazing narration guys. Show

[arabian]

Oh how long have i wated! This is the kind of channels that deserve the most support in YouTube, not the silly ones, thank you 🌹

[dawarrior]

Thank you History Marche for doing what you do. My favorite History Channel on the tube. You may not release videos at the rate that the other channels do, but the ones you do release are of the upmost quality. It only gets better and better, to the point of being cinematic.

You are doing heavenly work for us history nerds. Thank you.

[younes]

He was truly great, to put into perspective, all of West Europe was broken in pieces, no unity but all of that changed with his hard work!!

[jeffreese]

I read a book on Charlemagne, once, I think by Lamb, his accomplishments were absolutely phenomenal . Great vid, thanks !

[ThisisBarris]

Brilliant video Mago! Can't wait for part 2.

[talleyhoe]

I wish superb content like this was available when I was studying history. Brings it to life thereby greatly facilitating comprehension and retention.
