Loving all your videos and I totally binged on several of them today. Your historical figures and content are always something different from other channels I listen to. Please, continue with your excellent work. To steal the crown jewels? That man had some guts!
Forgotten lives keep it up. I really enjoy the educational video of the people you pick. I learned a lot. Your brother mortis sent me he said you got a great channel and I agree.
Plot twist..... I am a direct descendent of Colonel Thomas Blood. They made copies later to avoid public embarrassment. The trouble is how to 'sell' priceless objects. However there is one advantage, you can make claims to people, but no one believes you.
Well. After all that he just fell in a coma and died? Jeez what an obscure way to go for someone like him. No wonder they didn't believe it! Guess they didn't know why he went into a coma...very peculiar. Thanks FL. Well done as always.🤘🤔
i am to. my great great great grandfather fought with the 53 rd mass in the civil war. fought here in louisiana where i live. came back here after the war. he lived around boston. take care. jw blood
1st statement - *and I'm already smiling - due to the title.* *Am Howling - they dug him up to ensure he was dead!* You know that had to be some view from his place in the afterlife - I'm telling ya the Man had a wee bit of Irish in him - lolololol 🍀🍀🍀 BTW - the early English were the same DNA as the Irish. That's pre Roman, Viking, Anglo Saxon, and Norman conflicts. The Western Ireland Irish and their migrant lineage (Me - County Kerry, G Grandparents and the other side "Lynch" goes way back in USA and are from Cork) largely retained the early DNA - This is the R1b - Basque - Rh(-) Being born on foreign soil doesn't interfere with the DNA. 🍀❤🍀 Ya gotta root for the underdog.
Well put together FL! I Enjoyed it immensely! 🤗 Would you think about doing a Bio on an Ancestor of mine? John Wesley Hardin, a Wild Western Outlaw. He was a Decent guy for a Train Robber! 😍 I Hope you'll consider it! Thanks FL! 😁🙋✌💜🌻🐺🐶🐢🐾🐳❤💋
Oh, FL, I once missed a train because I couldn't stop watching the documentary about this robbery. Considering the robbery itself, he acted that stupid, he would easily make it in "10 dumbest robbers of all times" 😂! Although the story has a tragic aspect (people got hurt, killed, artefacts damaged), I simply couldn't stop laughing when I heard that he practically destroyed every single frame of the crown, broke the sceptre, because it was too long, and so on. As an admirer of (old and expensive) artefacts, that was terrible to hear, but yet, I couldn't stand this stupidity 😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️!
What a great story. It proves that with tenacity and humor much is possible.
I love the fact that they had to dig up his body to make completely sure it was him in the ground.
Great video! Thomas is my 11th great uncle. Thanks for this.
My pleasure! That's very cool :D
This man without a word of a lie is my great great grandfather.
Same here
My last name is Blood. love this story.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for listening!!

I guess Thomas Blood's audacity worked in his favor!
Indeed!!!
Well done
Great insight he is a distant relative of mine.
Awesome!
I wonder how Blood felt when Cromwell started pushing his Irish kin and friends into slavery.
I love your accent.
1st statement - *and I'm already smiling - due to the title.*

You know that had to be some view from his place in the afterlife - I'm telling ya the Man had a wee bit of Irish in him - lolololol 🍀🍀🍀

This is the R1b - Basque - Rh(-)
Being born on foreign soil doesn't interfere with the DNA. 🍀❤🍀
Ya gotta root for the underdog.
That guy is cool if we were all more like him then this world would a much better place
I'm descended from this infamous scoundrel!
Why so many descendants? I am too.
Just heard your last stories great🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔👻👻👻😎
Well put together FL! I Enjoyed it immensely! 🤗 Would you think about doing a Bio on an Ancestor of mine? John Wesley Hardin, a Wild Western Outlaw. He was a Decent guy for a Train Robber! 😍 I Hope you'll consider it! Thanks FL! 😁🙋✌💜🌻🐺🐶🐢🐾🐳❤💋
Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll investigate too see if I can cover his life!

Fun one
Thakns very much for watching!!
OTD in 1671, Captain Thomas Blood attempts to Steal the Crown Jewels 05-09-2022👑 💎 💍
As a Blood I resemble this story.
I am the great, great, great etc grandson of Blood
1618 what went wrong?
All these jewels belong to Mughal India. The British crown itself is a thief. Hypocrisy at its first.
This theft happened before there was a British presence in India.
Ancestry said I was related to him
A great person😉
Wonder if im related to him?
Maybe...it seems half of the comments are people that are related to him.
Love the stories, but wow everyone risks beheading or being hanged. Ridiculous as people need to mind their own business.
I only thought I had an useful last name.
Talk about life's ups and downs. 🥴
Background music is too much, imo. Otherwise I have nothing bad to say about your channel and even sit through adds in support. Thanks for your work.
I’m related to that guy
Hello!
Hello Ale!
Am I related👆👆
Squeezing in the ads I see. Shame, as spoils an interesting story.
