I would have excelled at history if you had been my teacher. Brilliantly told, can’t wait for the next video as I think I’ve seen them all now.

'i guess Dukes of York have just never been popular people' (24:01) and the expression on your face :) *chef's kiss*

An excellent episode. I've never heard the complexities of the Stuart dynasty explained so clearly.

Thank you for yet another fascinating video, and just in time for Charles III's coronation too. Nice little dig at his brother: "I guess the Duke of York was never popular."

[sallyfarr]

Thank you. Really interesting. Clear and concise enough to keep a non historian like me enthralled.

You said, "Gibbiting, " I knew what you were talking about (and you know why) that was my favourite part of the video. I felt very smart. Lol
Love you y'all. 🌻

Well done Paul! Cromwell was, uh, QUITE the character. Would love to hear you talk about him (and his infamous head) ❤

This was a fantastic bit of history, and you have put all of my history teachers and professors to shame with your pacing, storytelling and drive for historical accuracy.

[m.y.o.b.]

My kind of history lessons.👍Wish I would've had a teacher like you in school.

Sir Paul looks like a gentleman from the 1800s.
My deepest respect to you Sir 💕
