History of England - Documentary

Analyzing a complete history of England

[Fireoflearning]

Note: Part 2 has been removed and will be remade! The date for this remake is currently undecided.

Correction:

Strathclyde was listed as a "Scottish kingdom." To clarify on this - Strathclyde was NOT a Scottish (in the sense of Pictish) kingdom, but was, rather, a remnant kingdom of the related Britons, much like the Welsh, which, later on in its history, was a puppet kingdom of Scotland (the kingdom of Alba) and absorbed into Scotland. When exactly this took place is not known, but it appears to have been under Scottish influence by the reign of Constantine II of Scotland. (c. 940-943).

Although I am an American, I have been studying English history for fifty years. I have read hundreds of books and enjoyed them all as I prefer to go deep into each area but this is perhaps the most concise and unbiased documentary that I have viewed about English history. Next year I will be realizing one of my dreams- to visit England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland and see all the places I’ve been reading about. Congratulations on your video. I hope people see it as the tip of the iceberg and that the real enjoyment is in learning about these people and places in depth.

I was disappointed to the lack of discussion of the medieval British knights and king, who traversed the lands, banging coconuts together.

I'm neither English or American, but a Greek, from a nation with an incredibly immense history too... THIS is how history videos should be made. Excellent job, and keep going strong!

I just can't get my head around how England, Wales and Scotland all being British is so confusing to people who come from a country that's made up of 50 different states.

Imagine rolling up to England on an elephant unseen to the people before, fucking legendary

[stephaniehale]

Being an American Anglophile, this doc is great....nice and concise

[littoww]

I just gotta say, this video managed to teach me the entire history of my country in a couple of hours when an entirety of my primary school didn't manage the same in 3/4 years

It is possible to expand on the importance of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. To this day, even in American law schools they teach that 1066 is considered the "oldest legal memory, " as all property in England vested in the king. That was the beginning of the English common law system that currently exists in the UK and the USA.

this is my favorite video to fall asleep to. i’ve watched it so many times and it’s so comforting. when i was in high school i got sick very frequently bc of health issues. needless to say i was home quite a bit. i spent so much of that time watching this channel. i love history, and after i found this account it quickly became my favorite. this vid has soothed me to sleep in sickness and in health i’m not joking. this video is magic LOL

History is so much more complicated than people today are willing to understand.
