    During school, we were only taught what I've come to call "selective history," now 30 years later learning history of all types has become my daily pastime from excellent teachers like Kevin.
    😊 You have made learning fun and also very relaxing to just hear you tell a tale of days past.

    I was born in St Edmunds hospital. In the town of Bury St Edmunds which grew up around the great Abbey of St Edmundsbury (at one time the largest in Europe) dedicated to Edmund the local East Anglian hero. The Abbey, like many, fell victim to the dissolution by Henry VIII but the runins and grounds now form a rather nice park.

      Bury St Edmunds is a nice town with a lot of history. When I was there visiting, I went to Abbey, to the ruins that is. It was for the 1,000 year anniversary of the Abbey. There is stone book close to the entrance that tells the story of St Edmund. Mary Tudor, the youngest sister of Henry VIII (the other Mary) was born in the town in St Mary’s Church. Charles Dickens was a usual guest at the hotel in front of the Abbey. There is a cheque signed by him in the tea room. And there is the smallest pub in England! Or the smallest also in the world, I think. Rather nice and interesting town. ❤

      My aunt and uncle lived first in Westgate Street as my uncle worked for Green King. When he passed my aunt was moved to a lovely town house in Crown Street. I loved visiting them and running round in Abby Gardens. It’s a wonderful town and as I got older I found the history fascinating

    I so love your telling of history. One story that always hit me hard was about Prince Llewellyn's faithful hound Gelert.... and in Wales, Beddgelert (the grave of Gelert) , is such a beautiful villiage, and the grave of this hound is still there, with a stone commerorating this good dog. Prince went hunting, his faithful hound was nowhere near.... upon returning from the hunt, The prince's sons cradle was upended, and blood everywhere, Llewellyn thought the dog had killed his baby boy and in grief ran the dog through with his sword, then as the hound expired, a baby's cry was heard.... and the body of a wolf was there which Gelert and fought and killed. Llewellyn then realized the bravery of this dog, and the crime he commited. Had a funeral for the dog, with gravestones under the tree which is still there today. Legend says he never smiled again for the rest of his life. There is a lovely walking tour of the place and town. I will put the link here..... beautiful place. I first read about this story in the World Book Encyclopedia series for children, all about dogs. Full of stories and about breeds, Let me find this link to the walking tour, I want to go there once before death. Cannot find the one wlking tour, but this one ws a great telling of the story. th-cam.com/video/xfOQUsryynk/w-d-xo.html

Living in Sudbury (known in saxon times as South fort) its been close to King Edmund, the white dragon of Bures and St Mary's Chappel in Bures. To me he will always be the true patron Saint of England. Really enjoyed this one. Thank you.

    Great video, and my period of history that I enjoy, there was also an earlier Eadmund around the 7th Century who was Christian coming from Beornica, NE England, he was so the writings say killed in an ambush by Penda the King of Mercia and Cadwaladr the King of Gwynedd, Eadmund was followed by Oswald who declared himself King of Beornica and declared war on Penda and Gwynedd, the later he killed, but Penda killed Oswald, quartered him and hung parts of his body at the four corners of his Kingdom as a warning to others, Oswald became St Oswald, and his remains were said to have healing powers.
    And there is actually a town on the Welsh English border names after where one of his remains were left and that is Oswestry, (Oswald's Tree).. History is Fascinating... I love it.
    And you Sir do a fantastic job of telling it and educating people, I thank you..

Love the way you tell the stories.

Your videos and knowledge are absolutely vital to a revitalization into history and education. We have massive amounts of young people who are seeking out knowledge on their own! The education system as it stands is doing such a disservice to us all. People are desperate to learn and the schools just don’t seem to care or have any desire to fill that. Quite sad but I am grateful we have Kevin and others who are willing to pick up the slack. It’s truly a service to the world.

    Another brilliant presentation Kevin. Love the goatee beard - it makes you look very extinguished, err sorry, distinguished. Hope you didn't use superglue! 😬 For many years I have considered St Edmund to be the rightful Patron Saint of England. He may have been German by birth, but he was ours by naturalisation, unlike St George, who probably never trod on our soil. What did dragons ever do to him anyway? I wear a badge with a golden crown and crossed arrows regularly and drink to St Edmund on the 20th of November. Good to hear about your membership of The Guild of St Edmund - great reinactors who bring history to life. Your badge is rather impressive. I believe that St Edmund is also the Patron Saint of protection from the plague, a great comfort to us in the backwoods of Dorsetshire! 🤣

    I've just discovered your channel recently, Very enjoyable. I've been a history nut all of my life. A major part of my ancestry is English, and/or Saxon. I enjoy learning about it.

    Very good video Kevin I love the Viking age history the most and there’s more intrigue with missing history.

    Great looking hat, good job on the boat too, those bloody scoundrels! St Edmond still revered ( Dragon politics never change).

    Your description of east gives relevant meaning why the late Queen gave them the titles of duke and duchess of Sussex. Invaders. Lol. She was spot on! RIP QE2!

    It is so interesting to try to research, people from the "Dark Ages" you can read translations of Chronicles but other sources are so rare if they exist at all
