And so you should ☺️

That's fine for the incredibly small number of people who choose to revolt. Waltheof did in this period and lost his head in the end. The vast majority don't have any choice or power in this but suffer the most appalling consequences anyway.

Glad you enjoyed it ☺️. There is much more to all this. I may cover it one day, until then I would recommend digging further in to it all. His son could be an interesting person to look up

@@stepthroughhistory thank you, I know we have a whole church somewhere too :D

The village of Hotham was part of John's domain too. Wonder if that is where the family got their name?

@@stepthroughhistory it's an ancient anglo-saxon name, the first to use it were settlers of Holtham or Hougham in Lincolnshire. Then through records ties in Yorkshire, the hotham name showed up where they had a seat in yorkshire before the norman conquest, and then as you rightly say the village of Hotham.

So glad you enjoyed ☺️

Thank you ☺️

That's amazing thank you so much. I may have something Edwin related coming up. Keep an eye out for a notification soon

It's a big of an oldie, I've changed my style a bit since then but glad you enjoyed. I may come back to this one day in a completely different manner

I wish I did ☺️ I loved it

This is great to read thank you. So glad you enjoyed ☺️ I should get back to filming and editing a bit more then ☺️

It is an incredible story. I hope you have found something new in this video 😁

I have given a title and description which means you can surely get it the second time around 😁

You are close my dude. More clues tomorrow...and there will definitely be a castle too

Cheers 😁

Thank you so much. I will certainly share more of the beautiful wolds with you in time and maybe a ghost story or two as well then 😁

Really glad you enjoyed it. Just upgraded a lot of kit so should be back with more videos soon 😁

Fair points. Onwards and upwards

I think it was an early channel/lock down attempt. I don't use the internet generally. Things have moved on since

Cheers, hope you enjoy my more recent content too

Thank you, really glad you enjoy. More to come in the new year 😊

All my thumbnails are taken from my videos, this one may be an exception as I added something in the background. However, I am willing to go back at the witching hour and see what happens 😁

@@stepthroughhistory any info would be appreciated. I know it’s Nordic and related to Vikings but I was wondering if you knew anything about its meaning in military use. Any info you have in regard to this would be appreciated. If you don’t know anything in regard to this, then no need to reply. Thanks:)

This is not Nordic, it is much more recent

@@mikamamma I think you may be refering to the thumbnail for the Channel in general, I believe the bird is one of Odins ravens (Huginn & Muninn)

@@AntonyWallis yes I was referring to the thumbnail for the channel in general. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. I’m actually looking for the military significance of it, if you or anyone else might know.

Really glad you enjoyed it, thank you, there is more to come. Monty is certainly a draw...he does make it harder for me (check out next vid) but I can't fault the lad, he is awesome and definitely the star ✨

The ship was built in 1834 and the accident happened in 1838.

That is amazing, I am hoping to compile the hand me down stories and info from people related to those associated to the incident, if you have any to share then please contact me at stepthroughhistory@gmail.com

I am always fascinated by people's reaction to Hotham 😊 the responses are always quite varied. It is so much more than what we usually here....John said no to the king in hull and then the war started...😫 Thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed it 😊 it could have been twice as long and maybe in the next few years I will look at it again.

I am so glad you enjoy my videos and even happier it has sparked your own curiosity, research and enjoyment in to areas that interest you. Thank you 😊

There always more 😂 I find at least three for every one I write

Maybe we should be thankful William didn't quite have the range Genghis had 😂 I think similar to you I believe, I liken him (and the Normans) to snakes, their capacity at being deadly and evil buggers is alarming but I can't help but be impressed at how good they are at doing the thing they do.

@@stepthroughhistory Normans were formidable. Essentially Nordic vikings that adapted to the warfare of continental cultures and were so good at it that they could go up against Arab and Byzantine armies. You can admire their skills and talents while also being disturbed by the extent of their brutality.

We'd have no class system, no North/South divide and no fucking Tories, so we'd be infinitely better off.

Let's also remember that William the Bastard's victory at Hastings was purely dumb luck. Had Harold not had to fight at Stamford Bridge less than three weeks earlier and had William not fallen from his horse and wrongly thought to have been killed, he would have lost for certain. How odten has an army won a battle fighting uphill?

No idea. I love the thought of someone knowing, no matter how infrequent or for what purpose, that if people do occasionally do need to go down there then give them something beautiful. A bit like those early computer circuit boards with a micro sized picture placed on it or that weirdo surgeon who Lasered his initials on patients internal organs during operations (maybe less so). Although it reminds me of that quite, 'nothing useless can be truly beautiful', that was William Morris I think.

Just found the podcast! But I had to follow the link in the description. Didn't come up when I searched on Google Podcasts. Anyway, I subscribed! I'm going to binge listen to the podcast today. Best wishes from Mexico!

Really glad you have enjoyed the story and enjoying the podcast. The good news for you is they are always a podcast first so you can enjoy it before anyone else on TH-cam knows of it 😁

He's a good chap isn't he. Really glad you.ebkoyed it and thanks for the message. I will be digging in to Scotland and Ireland (from a Northumbrian perspective) in time and want to look at the Parisi and Elmet as well. Glad to have you onboard 😁

Which bit of the video are you referring to? The video was one of my first attempts using a video camera and so by my recent standards it isn't great. I have learned a lot since then and my more recent stuff is considerably better. I have re written this story too, available as a podcast (just search for step through history on Spotify or apple etc) and I am hoping to make a complete new video for this one over the summer.

@@stepthroughhistory I didn't know it was one of your first attempts, that must be it. The inserted photos etc are fine. A very slim Minster at 5.17 ! Yes, your recent videos are much better.😊

thank you 😊 it has been so long I might have to have a look myself. My early efforts are poor, lack of technical knowledge, lack of equipment and an old laptop 😂 and this is one I have left up (for now) you should see the tat I have deleted 😂 The podcast version is really worth a listen though, it doesn't repeat much as it has been totally overhauled.

Just had a look, it's a bit weird the top of the minster is missing but on the plus side I do have a trimmer figure in that aspect ratio 😂

Hehe does that mean we get to boo you? 😂 Sounds like you have a fascinating lineage. No titles I'm afraid, Thirstiness is the only name that appears, that and Williams of course. I guess there would have been many of these groups, I have no idea of their number. Really glad you enjoyed it. I am working on a story about a family who were for some times sheriff's of Chester and often did their kings bidding (and dying) on the Welsh borders. I will look out for that name in my research.

@@stepthroughhistory many thanks.... I suppose a boo's in order......maybe a cheer too, yep.... Defenders on my Mother's side 😁👍 like lots of Brits I expect. Montealto's changing their name to Mold and Mowatt.......fit in with the locals 😏 good luck 👍

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 As for Deira it's a tricky one, firstly I intent to do a pre and post Roman video of the area. I did do one as my first ever video but it was horrific in so many ways and now long gone thankfully 😂 as for it as an Anglo Saxon kingdom it's history is short and not well documented. It wasn't long before it merged with bernicia to form Northumbria. It often could be annexed to another kingdom like Mercia or sometimes given by a Northumbrian king to a son as a sub king type situation. I'm not sure if you have seen it but It does come up a fair bit in my recent Edwin video, it might also feature in my Aldfrith video too. So I guess the answer is yes it will be covered even more in time but indirectly.....and I have no idea how to pronounce it. I've picked a version but I've heard many variations. I think it's one of the few Anglo Saxon realms that took its name from the previous occupants, along with bernicia and Kent.

@@stepthroughhistory Yeh, I have heard it come up in your videos. I think I've watched and enjoyed most of them. It's actually pretty cool to hear from local historians/history enthusiast (delete as appropriate) especially when talking about periods I have a particular interest in. Once again my thanks for your efforts.
