May I ask, your accent.. british?

"Emperor Zeno" yet the thumbnail depicts Emperor Basil II.

censorship doesn't work hmmm... not necessarily fun video though

outreach is nice... it is... but man... that is one hell of a gorgeous vanity project Hey, you probably could have both.

Your content is severely underrated. Maybe try sound-biting bits such as the Whigs beating the Tories. Such awesome history but it’s never taught!

It was walpole

"Why do nice girls hate me?"

Robert Walpole went to Cambridge, not Oxford

Come back!

Video is awesome. Really breaks it down. I always found George ii interesting and what went on with the courts. Behind all this, Walpole was quite friendly with Queen Caroline, and I don't know if it was a genuine friendship or a friendship of convenience and at the same time, the Prince of Wales hated Walpole. It's so interesting. I would love a video on his personal life, his marriage, his mistress and his youngest son.

So here's the thing I don't understand about Calvinism: if God decides who is saved and who isn't, why does the religion even matter? Why does Jesus matter?

172

So...

This guy and Talleyrand building europe like a sand castle

I really wish you wouldn’t blur the Face of these historical figures. Why do that ?

Metternich was an agent of Solomon Rothschild

They were killing each other in the name of "God"

Not pronounced like that, the ch isn't a k it's more like a hy sound, so Metternich should be pronounced like "metternihy" (this is how I explsin the sound to my non-german-speaking friends)

2:15 just a little correction The "gens de coloured Libre"where children sired between white frenchmen and their african mistresses not the "native people" on saint dominique the word native referred to the tainos

I recognise the good work you're doing providing information on this period to more people, it is a wonderful thing. However I do have some notes on this video that might be of interest to your viewers. 1) The 10% of the country being Protestant is certainly correct for around 1561/2, however by the 1570s I am fairly sure a lot of converts had already de-converted. A lot of those who didn't would of course convert to Catholicism after 1572. 2) The association of the Guise family with militant Catholicism is certainly true for a great deal of this period, however in 1561 they were open to compromise and synthesis with the Lutherans. Lorraine in particular thought the confession of Augsburg could be a rallying point for the reunification of the French church. 3) Personally when introducing the Bourbon family, I would highlight that they are part of the royal family, descended agnatically from Louis IX. 4) The Montmorency seem to be absent here from this video, but they are important enough to include imo, indeed during the 1550s they were more important than the Bourbon family by far, and would continue to have a massive impact on the FWOR. 5) Small thing, but its a) Condé (con-day) and b) Louis de Bourbon not Louis Bourbon c) you place his conversion around the ascent of Henri II, but it was in 1558 6) Nitpick but François II was 15 not 14 7) Condé's involvement in the conspiracy of Amboise is a matter of considerable dispute among historians, though I do believe he was involved personally. 8) 'One guy got drunk at a local tavern'. I have never heard this theory for the revelation of the plot before. The lawyer des Avenelles got cold feet and went to the Lorraine government to reveal it, his testimony was confirmed by a client of the duc de Nevers whose brother was involved in the plot. 9) The video implies that Condé was arrested prior to the initiation of the conspiracy of Amboise, he was arrested in October, 7 months after the failure of the main plot, and with many subsidiary plots having transpired (most importantly one in Lyon) 10) He didn't get off on lack of evidence, he was convicted and (most historians say though Romier disagrees) due to be executed. It was only the political destabilisation caused by the death of the king which made appeasing his brother (who as premier prince du sang had a strong claim to the regency) a strong enough political priority that he was released. 11) The initiation of a more tolerant policy is fairly singularly ascribed to Catherine in this video, and indeed to the reign of Charles IX, however it began even before the conspiracy of Amboise. On 8 March the first edict which differentiated sedition and Protestantism was issued, this would be furthered with edicts pardoning Protestants if they returned to Catholicism, and then the Edict of Romorantin in May which de facto abolished the death penalty for heresy cases. Lorraine, Coligny, L'Hôpital all played a role as well. 12) Pretty good basic summary of the massacre of Wassy, however to my knowledge the barn was not burned down? 13) Guise didn't really 'dispatch an army to the court' he himself travelled to the court alongside his triumvir colleagues with a large body of gentleman to intimidate the court. 14) I recognise the need in this short format for limited protagonists, but the only city Guise took back was Rouen, other royalist armies (or local forces) took back the rest, also Navarre led the main royal army prior to his death during the siege of Rouen. 15) Elizabeth I's invasion was the motive for the siege of Rouen, not the end of the war. By the time the war ended, the English were reduced to a weak hold on Le Havre. Wow, we're half way through this video and only just in 1563! I suspect we are due some considerable acceleration. 16) Nitpicking here, but several of the key Protestant commanders (among them Coligny) refused to join the joint royal army that recaptured Le Havre. 17) Obviously there are a lot of things 1563-1572 I think are worth discussing (as I'm a little obsessed with this period) but for a short introduction video, I would want to bring up 2 of them 1) The assassination of the duc de Guise and the Guise family starting a vendetta with Coligny over it 2) The Protestant coup of 1567 and the betrayal that was felt in court after this. 18) The theory of Charles getting very close to Coligny has largely been discredited (it feeds into the Catherine motivated by jealousy theory). I'm not sure what is meant by 'too close to a Protestant queen'. Are you referring to Jeanne d'Albret? 19) You label the duc de Guise as Henri Bourbon here, which is a little confusing hahah. Credit to you for bringing up the theory that the shooter may have acted alone though, that's quite a new one. 20) The assassination of Coligny and the Massacre of Saint-Bartholomew proper are two interconnected but seperate things, the assassins of Coligny did not hand out arms to the people of Paris, they went on their way to the next person they were due to assassinate. 21) A fair summary of the siege of La Rochelle and Anjou's return as king of France. 22) The next in line was not Henri of Navarre until 1584, the next in line was his brother Alençon. We seem to have skipped 1574-1584, a shame those are interesting years 😔 23) Oh, suddenly we're back to Henri Bourbon's flight from court, but that was in 1576? 24) The timeline of the video gets a bit jumbled at this point and we jump back and forth around 1587, 1588 and 1589 fairly freely. Henri's reconciliation with Navarre is placed prior to the day of the barricades, when it occurred in April 1589 after the assassination of the duc de Guise. 25) Mayenne's involvement in the assassination of Henri III is certainly speculated, but I don't think there's any proof. 26) Coutras (coo-trah) was in 1587, before the death of Henri III, when Navarre bested the royal army. 27) I'd honestly be surprised if there were more than a handful of covert Protestants in Paris at this point. 28) After his conversion there were two camps in the league, a) This is sufficient for us, we will cease our rebellion b) This is insufficient you need err a Papal absolution which you'll totally never get (this was the position taken by Mayenne). The war with the league largely ended therefore in 1595 29) Henri IV's reign was wracked with various conspiracies by malcontents (be they embittered Protestants like Turenne, or radical Catholics). One of those radical Catholics assassinated him in 1610. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, please don't take the length of this the wrong way. :)

Please make more videos

I mean, he's no Lord Palmerston ...

Great vid. This goes to show once people got a taste of freedom it is almost impossible to revert to monarchy/oppression. It does not matter how good of a diplomat Metternich was. Freedom is a wildfire.

The Pitts were better than the Bushes here in the States. If the older Pitt was in charge there may never have been a revolution. Thanks for the video.

I know him he was in blackadder

in 1881 alexander II was murdered by jewish anarkists.

And then the assassin and Alexander III ruined it

Couldnt Louise the XV1 have rather pretended a royal state visit to a nearby friendly country and then abdicated? For a number of reasons im sure a king could legally visit another country. I'm trying to say he didnt have to sneak away in a stately carriage the way he did.

Where did you get the sound clip @21:20 from? It sounds like the voice of John Hurt.

Why the Finland is connected with Sweden because at that pointti, we were parta of Russia.

nice video man and glad to see you back!

This was great! Keep them coming!

wow

Wow, I'm sure that after making that decision John Paul I had a very long and prosperous reign.

You’re back, nice

Ah yes the best way to restrict people from reading things - ban them.

so you mean to tell me the catholic church was the original woke left?

1st!

A person who pays no taxes should keep his or her mouth shut.

Damn reactionary down with the noble scum!

Always really felt bad for Louis XV1…..he seemed to try hard initially in a job he was absolutely not suited to (though he inherited such a mess, few would find it easy), seemed to know things were going downhill, but still tried, then mainly just despaired and gave up (then got executed).

A truly scary time in history, and an awful time to live through. But boy,…was the prior French system a rickety, unfair mess that had gone on too long.

Ah, Pitt, my favourite Prime Minister! I even wrote a poem about him when I was in high school. Thanks for the video; I especially liked the bottles of port marching across the screen to herald poor Pitt's demise.

❤❤❤

Cool video, bro. Pitt the Younger was a brilliant politician.🍇

What I've learned from studying historical revolutions, is that if you're an autocrat, you have no incentive to liberalize, because the people are bloodthirsty and ignorant, and they're just going to kill you for it.
