YES! Been waiting for this one for a long time! Another english monarch off the list! Please matilda next! The matriach of the Plantagenets!

I love this voice. So well to understand as a non native speaker

[biendereviere]

Honestly why do I even give myself a bedtime? I never go to bed at that time, I always watch the newest upload from The People Profiles first 😍❤️🙈

[lfgifu]

Great! I’ve been wondering when the next entry on the Normans would come :)
I hope Matilda comes next- Ik she wasn’t Queen, but she was the rightful heir, and came so close! Besides, she definitely shaped History!

Oh my god, I've been waiting for the Stephen episode for ages. Think he was the only king or queen from William I to Mary II you hadn't made an episode on (can't remember if there's a Richard III one, but every other one has been covered) and it's been an absolute joy. The run of Stuart monarchs (and Cromwell) added recently was so good.

Was hoping for it the week after the Henry I one but well worth the wait. They have been absolutely fantastic to listen to. Will give them all a second listen soon.

Love how this channel legit took over from Biographics.

Really a great channel, it deserves millions of subs

Still waiting and hoping to see a video on French king Philip Augustus. Still good video and enjoyable to watch

[elvenkind]

0:56 "Blois in the Loire", try repeating that 10 times as fast as you can. For me it just ends with a "blargh!" sound.

[johndavidson]

Fascinating look at post conquest English. Notice the controlled pacing of the storytelling; not an over caffeinated presentation which mar many such efforts

[lovely]

Never heard of him but, Im here for it.

[giacomogatti]

The true historically backdrop of The Pillars of the Earth...An absolutely fascinating period of English and French history brilliantly brought to life by this amazining video.

If you want to know more about Stephen and Henry; watch the devils crown.

[ergoslum]

I've got a playlist of all of your channel's English/British monarchs from Edward the Confessor onward: I was so excited to see Stephen pop up! Thank you! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Harold Godwinson at some point.

As always, such a great presentation....thank you!

[danielsantiagourtado]

YOU guys are the Best! Please make a video on Philip II Augustus soon. Hearth please! HUGE fan ❤❤❤❤

[DorotheaAntonio]

Yay! Was wondering when they'd do King Stephen!!! 🥳 🥳 🥳 🎉 🎉🎉

[Vimby]

Fascinating, and easy to follow although I had to take notes (so many Henrys, Matildas and Williams). New subscriber.

Steven violated his oath to support his cousin, Matilda. That violation was the foundation upon the Anarchy was based. His culpability is absolute.
