The Entire History Of The English Middle Ages
My biggest video so far!
The largest project I have ever worked on - in full-length documentary, we discover the entire history of the medieval period spanning over 400 years.
Of course, I couldn't possibly include every event that occurred during the Middle Ages so I have chosen what I believe to be the most important events which helped shape the future of the English Kingdom.
Enjoy!

Alex ur videos are awesome and u are awesome
Brilliant video Alex! Great photography and voice-over with detailed research into the various battles. Good to see that people don't change over the years. Some folk of the Middle Ages flouting the laws of the Black Death, compares well with our recent pandemic. At least they had the excuse of ignorance with no modern medicine! Over 60 minutes of real interest and research. Thank you.🙂
is possible to Blackened chain Armor?
Yes indeed you can. There aren't any 100% confirmed surviving pieces of evidence from history though. There is a lot of artwork which clearly shows the same type of maille armour being worn by multiple soldiers however some maille has been painted lighter than others, which may suggest the presence of blackened maille, but this isn't really very strong evidence to go by. You can blacken maille in two ways, either literally paint it black, or burn linseed oil onto it. In both cases, the maille garment will be quite stiff after application, but simply wearing it and moving around in it will make it perfectly flexible again.
Alex, your accent and tone lends itself perfectly to an interesting exploration of historically correct things and, of course, what is left. I was aware of some of it but great to learn some new stuff
One more historic replica ship is the Batavia (moored in the Netherlands).
Very interesting thank you. However, Franciscans are not monks and have never been monks. They are friars. Franciscans were essentially founded by St Francis as he did not want to be a monk. Monks live in a monastery and are vowed to that monastery for their whole lives. They spend their lives in prayer and study. They spend a lot of time in silence. Franciscans are vowed to their Order, not to a particular community. They are more mobile and would be more likely to look after the poor, which is the charism of Franciscanism. The ‘robes’ that monks and friars wear are known as habits.
Thank you !❤

Harold broke an oath and all of England paid the price for it.
Wow, this video is amazing. THank you so much!
The speaker's refusal to pronounce the letter T is very irritating: BeTTer / iT is / forTy. New is not pronounced Noo. TH is different from F: THousand / birTH. The mispronunciations are distracting.
I'm from Norfolk, it's how our accent works :)
Very much enjoy the longer format upload. Great content
They are certainly a lot of hard work to make! If this video turns out to be financially viable for how long I spent on it then I will consider more longer video uploads. If not, I'll stick to shorter videos!
@ Well, I certainly hope it does well but I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ll be tuning in either way!
“Hit in the eye and then carried to safety” may have been too little too late lol
Well Henry V survived an arrow to the face so who knows, you might not die from it!
@ Absolutely! I mean, they probably wouldn’t have had any idea just how bad the wound was until they pulled him off the battlefield.
These are one of the bloodiest battles im a medieval fan im upsest with medieval i love it i know all about it
What is this England you speak of
👀
~3:10-3:16 William the Conqueror didn't officially abolish slavery, let alone give a reason for doing so. Slavery gradually declined in England over the course of several centuries, not because of any single event of abolition, but because of multiple socioeconomic changes (individual acts of manumission promoted by the idea of slavery as un-Christian, the transition to a more manorial system making slavery less significant to the economy (a transition that started before the Normans, but was accelerated under them), and the reduction of conflict within the newly unified England resulting in fewer people being enslaved as war captives, among other factors).
I suppose I had to abridge that information by keeping it simple, as slavery was removed from society a lot faster when the Normans came to rule the kingdom. As you clearly show, a whole documentary could be made just on that one fact!

What are you doing in the green nights section screaming go blue knight?
Haha that wasn't me screaming!
@AlexTheHistoryGuy the guy with a mace screaming us not you?
Excellent video, by the way !
Ta!
The battle was much closer than it sounds. If Harold could have held out just a little longer for nightfall, he would have won the day. I think a scorched earth policy would have been better.
Honestly, the battle was won mostly due to the stupid mistakes made by the Saxons, and William taking the initiative of the opening. The Saxons were doing everything right the whole battle until that retreat
Very true. If they held their ground, the Normans would have likely lost.
I truly believe the battle was fought at Crowhurst not Battle.
There is evidence to support it, considering the Abbey ruins at Crowhurst, but again, a whole documentary could be made just focusing on that one question
@AlexTheHistoryGuy yes the inland waterways stretched a lot further in land at that point.

How is Southwark pronounced the same as Suffolk?
Oh God please don't haha! Yes it is pronounced the same. Don't ask me why, I think it's very strange! In my first London video, I pronounced it like how it's written and I got a lot of comments telling me how it should be pronounced. So now I've fixed that mistake and I get a comment going the opposite way! Haha
@ I had to ask 😆
Wonderful tour Alex. You do great work. Thank you friend.
Can't wait.
Why you used 18th century music?
Because 15th century music isn't readily available
what a great video
Hello. It is a big mistake to allow the steel to get red hot when you weld. This causes the steel to lose its mechanical properties. The correct way to do it is with tack welding, until the seam is completely finished. Greetings from Chile.

OK this looks like another epic video, cannot wait, roll on 2025!!!
It certainly will be! Over an hour long, highlighting 400 years of history!
It's bloody ambitious!..👍
Certainly is. I've had to cut out a few things unfortunately as it would either make the video too long or I simply can't get decent enough footage to cover it, but almost all of the main events have been included.
Soneone should edit this to the tune of A Cruel Angel's Thesis.
On a side note, I would love to make history themed music videos haha
@AlexTheHistoryGuy Well, nothing's stopping you! I'd love to see them, and I'm sure thousands of other people would be too.
Looking forward to it
From the trailer i can already tell there's been a lot of passion put into this, i'll definitely be looking forward to it's release!
Oh, so much! I've lost count of how many places I've been to and how many reenactors I've filmed to get all the footage!
Everything was absolutely perfect but everything changed when the French nation attacked
They attacked us, we attacked them. Fair play I suppose
Can't wait!
Alex! This is absolutely smashing! I can't wait for it to come out! I bet you put loads of work into it...
I certainly didn! Over a month straight of just script writing.
Trailer looks fantastic, congratulations to the person in charge of the shots and editing
Everything is all done by myself :) I go to locations to film, I befriend fellow historical reenactors, I research all the information, I write all the scripts, I record all the narration, and I edit everything together :)
Excellent video, well presented - new subscriber.
Lots of churches in London but nobody goes to church however next trip l will look Forward to see more museum and castles ❤
Well I'm an atheist but I go to hundreds of churches every year haha
Wow! Do you know how far it went?
It went about 100ft, but that's about 1/5th of how far they could go.
@AlexTheHistoryGuy Cool, thanks!
