Request: You have absolutely nailed the narration, and your delivery of clear concise historical context and evocative easily followed descriptions of the battles themselves are among the best one can find anywhere. I hope having reached this level of quality you will begin to consider exploring the application of different visual elements. Because the illustrations are so similar, I find that if I binge-watch a lot of your videos in one sitting or over a couple of days, my ability to recall visual information associated with a particular battle or series of battles becomes quite muddled. This channel has the positive “problem” of being prolific, and covers a truly amazing range of history. One suggestion might be to experiment with something as simple as adding a two colored frame around the screen that color-codes for time period and region. Included in thumbnails, an element like that might also help viewers pick out videos they are interested in if trying to focus on a period or place. Adding the names of the principles on the thumbnail in a consistent area of each thumbnail, in a particular color for each ruler or general, could also help people find what they want when _The Algorithm_ presents them with a jumbled mash of videos. Another option you could try might be adding different fonts of varying colors associated with informational elements such as time period, region, or faction. Personally speaking, I would benefit from visual marks such as a bright colored marker indicating the units you are describing that persists for longer and brighter indicators of things like axes of advance which persist on screen while a unit is moving and briefly afterward. I think that your current format does well in the visual department ,and I enjoy watching the illustrations tremendously, so I hope you will take this as constructive and that you won’t be in a rush to change the style unless you find something that really contributes. Thanks for all the hard work you have put into the content. I hope you have some time to take a few moments and enjoy the accomplishment. Cheers!
I really love your videos. But I have as a rule anyone who has ads for masterworks I unsub from. It's a really suspect "investment". I know many feel the same way about this company. If you no longer do ads for them you will keep my sub but if you keep them then you will loose me as a sub and I know you will loose others as well.
I’ve been downloading and showing these to my 95 year old grandfather - in law. He loves history and can’t believe he doesn’t have to wait for a certain time on tv for such show and can bring up all these topics he loves in such detail and animation.
Stephen was energetic, but too nice. As Machiavelli once said, “If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.”
@@Irfan87 not sure I'd add kings and generals, they get alot of things wrong and outright paint things in ways they shouldn't, they still make good content, but take things with a large pitch of salt, for me they should stick to made up stuff.
The people of London revolted against the coronation of Matilda and she was never made queen, her half brother was eventually captured and exchanged for Stephen and he became king again.
Unless you are as demonstrably bad a king as Stephen was. His predecessor and successor had greater respect because they actually held their kingdom in good order, and not the victim of ravening petty local lords.
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl It’s obvious that the imperiousness attributed to her by contemporary writers would have otherwise been called “decisiveness” in a male. She was bold, intelligent, and insightful, but judged her moment badly after Lincoln. She seems to have accepted this and with her withdrawal from leading her forces directly in England in the succeeding years, she devoted herself fully to her son’s claim. Henry II would prove to be the greatest medieval English king, and one simply cannot totally extract his peerless political nous from what was undoubtedly his mother’s influence, whom he often consulted. What’s inarguable is that both Matilda, and especially Henry, stood head and shoulders above Stephen as a ruler.
@@alessandromazzini7026 Yeah, Britain has become a dystopian hell hole. Already seen multiple people arrested for defending their own homes from burglars, even locked up for telling jokes on the internet. It's sad how far they've fallen, once the greatest Western nation, now turning into North Korea.
These videos are so consistently great. That is s real achievement, because we can probably all think of a channel that has produced a similar number of videos but a good percentage of those are only worth watching once. I have seen videos on this channel covering periods and parts of the world in which I was less interested, and yet watched them twice because of the quality of the narration and clarity of explanation.
Despite being born in Bristol, I only learnt of Matilda when I was on a walking tour at age 30! Hope the work of popular historians like HistoryMarche means more folks will be aware of this period of English history.
This was an excellent deep dive into history! It's fascinating to see how the events of 1138 would lead to a full-blown war in England. It's also interesting to see how history continues to repeat itself with issues today, showing the relevance and importance of understanding our history. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.
I love this channel. Everything oozes of quality - the research, script and narration are just superb. The graphics are on par with what a major broadcaster could do. So impressive, please keep it coming!
Stephen is perfect example of someone who was too gentle to ever make a good king. Medieval Kings had to be brutal. His sense of mercy was admirable, but it was also his biggest failing as a King.
I've heard Matilda's friendly visit described more understandably- but great presentation nonetheless! This history is all but forgotten by many, and I'm so glad I took time to watch this and refresh my memory. Human desire for power is unchanged and entertaining.
The narrator speaks with a more relaxed voice, very nice - it seems some heavy load have been lifted from a set of shoulder. HistoryMarche shruggs, and finds a new tune - good for you dear sir.
Loving those floating texts. I always think that people back then has similar humour to us now too. Maybe not word for word, but intentions all the same.
I remember reading the novel the pillars of the earth by Ken Follett a long time ago, where described that battle and the consequent atrocities to the people of Lincoln. Makes more sense now with your video. Thanks!
Brilliant video. We always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these videos. I also learned a lot of things from your videos. Thank you for this video. I also dload and wrote some notes from your videos. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication towards these videos. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰🤝🏴.
I grew up near the ruins of Totternhoe castle, a Motte-and-bailey castle with two Baileys. I was told it was built by the Normans in the time of The Anarchy. The whole area is rich with history, it's in the doorstep of the Chiltern hills. Close to the Ridgeway - the oldest road/trail in Britain. Close to Ivinghoe beacon, an iron age hill fort which has a.xommanding view of the surrounding vale. The dunstable downs is the site of burial mounds; Saxon, Roman and neolithic apparently. The woods above Pitstone Quarry have a borde Dyke separating the Danelaw from Saxon lands. I'd say go to that area for a good walk before it's gone, because the building project from Leighton Buzzard are slowly but surely making their way accross the vale. In fact, the bottom of the downs, close to the main road is supposed to be the site of a "large" bronze age battle.
Stephen should have had a faction launch a surprise attack from the castle once the enemy was committed to the fight on the flank.. could have easily turned the tide of war
Obviously the latter part of the anarchy and Stephen's eventual victory will form another video. Would you also cover Geoffrey de Manderville and his origins, career and fate as this is a part of this story?
It’s like the battle of Poitiers when King Jean II Capet-Valois had an axe and I believe had it break too if i am remembering correctly and fought in the front ranks until he was taken prisoner by the earl of warwick
8:00 dude Stephen you had the enemy leader in your custody, you could have ended all possible rebellions in her name in the future right there, at the very least you should have locked them up. Stephen is a way to weak, trusting and merciful king
Capturing the capital fave stephan control of both the crown land and treasury and crown officials which explains one of the reasons why he was able to raise a large army despite not owning vast lands prior
Basically grew up with the books by Ellis Peters, depicting these events and time in english history. Recommended to everyone who likes medieval "who done its".

@@Hello-ig1px Depends, but they're both equally pretty good nonetheless
Masterworks is a scam. Check their ridiculous terms & conditions.

Big thanks to your grandfather in-law for his interest in my videos. It's very kind of you do that for him. Rock on!
that's nice
That's so cute.
Yeah, channels like this are a reminder of what a complete failure most TV is.
That's Awesome bro. I'm so glad for you to be able to show him these things and shows. You are a good man.
Stephen was energetic, but too nice. As Machiavelli once said, “If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared.”
As the norse say " do not great with enemies"
Both of you don't have clue ... the more Brutal your actions .. the more brutal the response .. at least that's the northern way
@@Niki-ln5be It's hard, even for a northern man, to respond brutally if he's dead.
@@prycenewberg3976 Family ... friends .. vengeance shall be mine
Maybe, but if he did that he'd probably lose his head after Lincoln.
HistoryMarche never disappoints. Easily one of the best channels of its kind around.
So consistently on point; it is pretty incredible isn’t it?
@@ColdHawk Indeed. HistoryMarche, Kings & Generals, Historia Civilis, and History Dose are the best channels of their kinds no question.
definitely best channel on youtube imo

Yes, it does disappoint, if you have standards.
I feel so bad for stephen. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy who the locals liked.
The people of London revolted against the coronation of Matilda and she was never made queen, her half brother was eventually captured and exchanged for Stephen and he became king again.
The mini-series Pillars of the Earth gives a very different story.
@@lynx8437 Sounds like a certain Dance... I can hear someone with the initials GRRM.
@@sjtimmer7 Oh that guy? Yeah he didn't come up with his story. All plagiarized.
Usuper.
The king who fights like a lion for his people shall always have the support of the masses.
Edit:
Unless you get BTFD by your enemy.
Unless you are as demonstrably bad a king as Stephen was. His predecessor and successor had greater respect because they actually held their kingdom in good order, and not the victim of ravening petty local lords.
You can fight like a lion all day, but if your only qualification for the crown is purchasing it and being a decent knight, that support won't last.
@@CommonSwindler you think Matilda was ruler material?

This is a format that I very much love. Respect to the writers, editors, narrators, and researchers
And so a brave and respected King, one that ruled over his people fairly and lead from the front, fighting "like a lion", fell.
A real tragedy.
Loving your narration of the war that gave rise to England's greatest Dynasty!
Now britain evaluate more gender and etnicity over actual merit in everything, even army

A ship sank, a kingdom fell into anarchy.
This happens a few times in the history I've learned.
Historymarche your work is always greatly appreciated by your loyal followers.
Stephen really impressed me! A True warrior King!
Nice to get a battle from my home town, nice to see the depth and research this great channel does
Fellow Lincolner huzzah :)
Interesting how Horses have been with us in all battlefields across the world.

Another magnificent historical coverage video was shared by an excellent(History Marche) channel
I want an HBO series on this period of history.
Look up 2010’s The Pillars of the Earth. It’s about this conflict
The narrator speaks with a more relaxed voice, very nice - it seems some heavy load have been lifted from a set of shoulder. HistoryMarche shruggs, and finds a new tune - good for you dear sir.
Thank you for great detail of this rather obscure part of the English history
Empire angevin 🇫🇷
At the move lads, for a good and glorious fight!
Take this sacrifice oh dear algorithm!
Supreme quality and detail. Hallmarks of HistoryMarche
Did this video really say Stephen “cut across the kings rear?” They must have cared deeply for each other.
Loving those floating texts. I always think that people back then has similar humour to us now too.
Maybe not word for word, but intentions all the same.
Excellent video and I love this series.
First class presentation as always, a real pleasure to watch...Congrats and thanks!😍😍👍👍
As his sword breaks I can Imagine him chucking it and catching the axe like Dio on the Holy diver music video.
I remember reading the novel the pillars of the earth by Ken Follett a long time ago, where described that battle and the consequent atrocities to the people of Lincoln. Makes more sense now with your video. Thanks!
YAY you started the anarchy!
Never disappoints
Please also Cover the battle of Sindh 711 C.E. we're waiting for it since a long period of time.
Pillars of the Earth book follows this battle really well
Never heard of this battle. Excellent!
No way, my home city! Did not expect to see it here, but this battle is great!

Wonderful video!⚔🔥😎
Excellent!
Once Stephen was separated from his knights on the wing, defeat became immediately inevitable!
those who forget history are doomed to repeat it's self
Can't wait for Part 3
Another great video, thanks.
This channel is f**king awesome. Holy S**t!
William Marshal was the only knight to have ever unhorsed Richard.
Hopefully we will get a episode on the life of William Marshall soon.
I don’t get how other history channels has 1 milion subscribers while the best channel has only 748k????
There are More interesting and unexplored history content to exploit rather than the usual 🇬🇧
Awesome video like always ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sometimes personal valor is not enough.
Well, It looks like the Dance of the Dragon is indeed inspired by Anarchy
Yeah it was
I really like the work done in this videos
Thanks for the video 👍
Loved the map overview animation
Funny but the war in England in the 12th century can be resumed by Angevin versus Normands.
Sharon K Penman covered this era in her book When Christ and his Saints Slept; an outstand book.

Please more videos! I neeeeeeed it
Great vidéo, good work
Just as a heads up, there's a typo at 08:49. It's supposed to read 1139-1140, but the second year is written as 1340.
As always, great stuff!
love your content
The title kind of made me think of Richard the Lionheart. I mean, I'm sure he wasn't called that for nothing.
The French nicknamed him Richard the Lionheart...the English just Richard
Incredible!
Its a crime against history this channel is still under 1 Mil subs.
What was the reason King stephen decided to meet Robert of Gloucester on the field and not barricade himsself in Lincoln?
all history is fascinating
The real dance of the dragons
