Soissons and the End of the Western Roman Empire

- The fall of the Western Roman empire was not a single event, but a cultural and economic shift that took centuries. The empire's last stand may have been a kingdom in central France. It is history that deserves to be remembered.

History Guy! Thanks for all the *Hard Work* and content!
Hiccum Blurpaedius take your meds.
I really enjoyed this interesting look at the end of the Roman empire. Not often is such quality displayed so frequently :)
Wow! My mother, who was English, loved history, as do I, but she knew English history, backward and forward. However, there were so many players in English history, it was hard to wrap your head around... Well I see Europe was no different... Thanks HG for another enlightening lesson of human history.
History is endlessly complex. The deeper you go, the more there is to learn!
A very enlightening view of the western European foundations. Thank you, Sir.
I've always found the history of rump states to be quite interesting. Soisson is such an interesting example of people trying to hang onto their past and fight for what they believe was a perfect society.
Sadly, it's still the case today. I should know, that's where I'm from. It's a little quasi-rural town dreaming of a splendid past, with little development and innovation. Charming but hopelessly boring.
In a way, you could consider Taiwan a rump state of Nationalist China.
Indeed! The "Red" States are sort of a Brittiany or a "Saison" here in North America. Of course the elites don't have the will to keep it from crumbling and soon all the "Red" States will be firmly "Blue" after a generation. 2020 is going to be known as "The end of the Free United States" and the beginning of "The Marxist United States" or whatever takes over. I know the Marxists will either push for the North American Union or, failing in that, they will likely abolish the powers of the States and all the States will become districts governed from Washington DC or whatever they rename the Capitol. How do I know this? I used to be a socialist myself. I know how they think.
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 Lmao, Christian Freedom-Seeker, Freedom to oppress religious minorities?
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 lmfao what a clownish rant.
Love your work History Guy (and lovely assistant of course.)
Better then the PBS and the History channel, plus Discovery.
History Channel could as well rename itself "Ancient Aliens Conspiracy Channel" at this point...
@@moriskurth628 calling it the history channel at this point makes about as much sense as calling TLC, The Learning Channel again more like the lose brain cells channel.
@Brian Chandler Yeah Man, definitely at this point for sure!
The History Channel, where the facts are history.

Salute' THG. Clovis and Constantine seem to have had similar convenient conversions. "Just let me win this battle God, and I'm your guy!"
I was thinking the same thing, so familiar is that request and promise!
Same as modern baseball players: Homerun and it's Hallauhloo; pop-out and head down--the allmighty let me down
@@lorenzobeckmann3736 baseball players don't have the power of life or death over people. Anything to catch and keep followers though.
Well it is quite possible that Clovis had converted in private but needed legitimacy in the eyes of his lesser lords and making a public statement like "If I win this battle, then God is supreme" knowing full well that he was going to win that battle anyway took away the "tarnish" of converting to a religion that preached peace instead of endless warfare and it kept him in his throne!
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 You may well be right. Maybe my comment reflected my own relationship with the Good Lord! Thanks.
Thank You!!! I love studying this period.
You may have done this in a previous video but if not please consider a "short snippet" of how you conduct your research and prepare for one of your presentations...sometimes it's interesting to see what "happens under the hood"! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Wow, your closing remarks were truly poetic! Fantastic video as always sir!
Great collection and presentation of artwork in this one. Nicely done. :)
Good morning Mr HG. Well now this is a nice surprise to wake up to on my day off. A little history and a cup of coffee to start the day. Thank you Sir!
Hey, I too am having a cup of Java enjoying The History Guy!😁☕
The twilight of an age. Thanks HG. History in school usually ends with the fall of Rome and picks up again in the middle ages. There's so much more to discover
Kingdom of Soissions: Twilight of the Roman Empire
I like it👌
The History Guy always gets my thumbs up. Another interesting snippet.
Great videos History Guy, shining light onto interesting topics that tend to get overlooked!
7:29 That slow roll of the history guy logo made me laugh. Nice work.
Just learned something new from this episode. Thank you.
Great work, well done
Great episode!
A very interesting point of view on Soissons ' history. I was born and raised in Soissons, and we learn the town' s history beginning with Clovis, rarely from the preceding Romans perspective. This is very refreshing. I'm surprised you didn't mention the Vase of Soissons which is perhaps the most well known historical myth/anecdote of the period. Thanks again for this episode about my hometown.
I am JT Sessions, I am from the USA but am a direct descendant of Soissons...I have been taught about the vase of soissons as part of my heritage as well...
Souviens-toi du vase de Soissons!
Off to Google!
Thanks for a good presentation. I always learn something from your videos.
Been waiting for this thank you for this
Thank you! No one ever talks about soissons
The fall of the Roman empire in 12 minutes and 20 seconds. Pretty impressive. Good work History Guy, have a good day.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks the end of the Roman Empire was in 1453 when Constantinople and the Eastern Rome Empire fell to the Ottoman Turks.
@@Dave_Sisson I don't know much about the History of the Roman Empire. Just the basics.
@@Dave_Sisson calling it Eastern Roman is also incorrect. The Empire is simply Roman.
It was a great info. Thank you Mr. History Guy.
Very good. An excellent history that has filled in some gaps for me. Well done, and thank you. Cheers, Russ
Much of history comes down to storytelling and your narration is second to none. Especially these epics of Rome, aptly romantisiced but with hints of the possible reality and obscurity that comes with history. Thank you for these videos and please continue the hard work!
Always love your videos. Very well done as is your usual. Thanks.
As always another excellent historical moment in history I never knew how the Roman Empire actually fell now I do thank you for your input and research into this. From the land down under Australia.
"Series of reforms that would eventually lead to his death."
To put it lightly.
Always great.
THANK YOU!!!!! I love this period in history
Excellent...as usual, thg delivers good stuff...
History guy thank you so much for all you do! I absolutely love this channel and enjoy sharing these videos with my family. I was wondering if you have considered doing an episode on the United States Exploring Expedition ? It's a wonderful piece of forgotten history , thanks!
This channel needs more recognition.
I learn stuff from your Channel. That's actually quite rare.
Thanks for tackling a subject of murky complexity and for appreciating the ability of your subscribers to follow along. As you know, History is much more a palette of greys than black and white and you handled the challenge wonderfully.
Tiger 131 appeared on shelving. Cool and classy. Love Mr History Guy. Best UTube channel ever. Thank you Lance.
I absolutely love this guys videos. Some of the best on You Tube.
well said...well written history guy, poignant stuff....depth of insight brought to life through your unique presentations and your sometimes silent look to denouement......thumbs up dude...!
Another good episode Mr. The History Guy. The fall of the Roman Empire always interests me. To have been so strong and mighty, then over time to fall into nothing. History worth studying, so we do not fall in similar way. Thanks again.
I love the way you talk about history. Please talk more about the period of the greek/roman time.
Love from Portugal
Love your videos History Guy! Thanks for all the great, informative content!
I’d love to see a video about the grave registration soldiers (GRS men) of WWII. The lengths they went through to ensure proper burials of Allied, Axis, and civilian casualties was amazing. Definitely history that deserves to be remembered.
Thanks for the enjoyable way you help me remember history I didn't know. Oh the details of life that are often overlooked and become forgotten history. Keep it coming. Like 472. /:-)
Man I love this channel. Never heard of this story before.
Thank you!!!
Have you done a talk on Gallipoli, WW1? Love your stuff.
th-cam.com/video/zL0JHPD0uOk/w-d-xo.html
I love listen to you, I've always been fascinated by history
The fall of the Roman Empire is a very tough subject for a twelve minute video. Admirably done but i would rather see an extended and more fleshed out version.
Welcome back. :)
Another great episode! Hey was just on vacation to the Midwest and was on a short history tour of some of the Pabst brewing buildings. Fredrick Pabst sounds like an interesting subject for an episode.
Great bit of knowledge you dropped there along with another well produced video. You never disappoint.
If I weren't so god-awful broke I drop a few coin in your account.
I'd appreciate a credit to the painting of Ceaser at 1:15. It is stunning and compelling both at once.
I'd like see it in its whole and know the details... the when painted by who and what it depicts -
Who is the prisoner bound at Ceasars feet, and the man on the horse negotiating his release and the badasses standing behind glaring down and arms crossed on their chests.
Did I see the name "the History Guy" on one of the lists of Roman Emperors? :)
His claim is currently uncontested, makes him the emperor by default. The Italians, French, Germans, British, Spanish, Greeks, Turks, various North Africans and Egyptians that are currently occupying the sovereign territory of Rome might have something to say about it however
The rulers in the states and countries of Europe, that followed the Roman Empire, all tended to continue to hold up Rome as the benchmark of civilisation. Even into the 18th century statues of politicians and statesmen were produced showing them attired in toga’s and sandals. Latin is still taught in many fee paying private schools in the UK. Many of the major roads linking towns and cities in the Uk are built over Roman roads. The influence of Rome is still in evidence today. Keep up the good work History Guy.
Your time line has you serving well!
Hi, History Guy. New subscriber here. Just wanted to say that I'm enjoying your videos very much and am learning many new things. My only criticism from watching your older videos was going to be that your intro was a bit loud, but it appears that you've done away with it now, so there's nothing for me to complain about. Cheers!
Hello. Would you consider doing a story about the Soviet Merchant Marine? Or about the freighters used during the Cuban Missile Crisis? Thanks.
great idea
Thank You 🌏
THANK YOU
Your channel rocks.
A fascinating account of a little remembered, or perhaps I should say documented period. Thank you.
May I ask you to do an account of the Berlin to Bagdad Railway. Its contribution to bringing Turkey into WW1 and its subsequent role in that war, the Greco Turkish war that followed and its final completion.
Much better timing and pacing of words I'm sure your southern listeners will appreciate this bit of history as I did. Aussie Jeff
Thank you for all the amazing work you have done and continue to be doing History Guy. Especially like the fact that you tackle history mostly forgotten but definitely deserving of remembrance.
Currently reading Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Massive and fascinating work. I was wondering if you could recommend some other books dealing with the Roman Republic and Empire? Recently read Rise of Rome by Anthony Everitt. Found it pretty good too. Thank you again.
That was delightful. I look forward to parts II through X, on the Eastern Roman Empire at this period and evolution to Byzantium, and the eventual development of the concept of a city-state away from the church. Great work regardless THG!
Just found the channel about a month ago and i absolutely love it. Just wondering if have ever done a video on War Plan Red
Awesome vid! So much to breakdown and study. Thanks so much for the direction. I love France and its history. There seems to be a stagging about of history to its lands.
You always do very informing, entertaining videos. I've recommend your channel to my old high school history teacher. I also like your cool hat collection and the various bowties you wear. I would love to have the necktie version of the bowtie in this video.
Love it ! Excellent work. This is the most under studied part of western history. And you brought it to life. Thank you.
Would you care to do a video on Laotsu and his contempoary Kungfutzu. ( Confucius ) Or the begining and ending of the Cherokee Nation ?
Thanks History Guy.
Peace
And I thought today was gonna be boring! I always love to see that you've uploaded!
You should take a look into the river dredge Meriwether Lewis, currently in Brownville Nebraska. It's an interesting story that deserves to be remembered!
Yes a boring!!!!!
@@stacieodstacieod9555 I actually quite enjoy his body of work and found it very interesting.
Not this time quite enjoy his body not !!!!!
another piece of roman history i knew nothing about. many thanks for your lesson.
I know I gave you a lot was because I enjoy your videos and I trust that you will be unbiased and impartial
Love this channel 😉
Two topic suggestions... 1) The battle of Beaumont-Hamel (WW1), 2) The great Chicago Fire
Thanks for considering. 👍
this must've felt like the end of civilization itself, and a return of the life-and-death uncertainty of the wild, and it must've been terrifying for anyone within living memory of the glory of rome. good god this would make an epic movie with a bittersweet ending.
Nobody cared when the last emperor was deposed
Your ending statements were well written.
Love your short snippets of history, and I have a suggestion for a future topic. Very soon here in Australia, and in New Zealand, and possibly Viet Nam, we will be marking the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. Given that the movie "Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan" is due to be released 8 August here in Australia, I thought it might be timely to do a study on this extraordinary battle.
I’ve certainly learned something from this! This reminds me of the stories of the Empire of Trebizond or the Despotate of the Morea!
I do like the History Guy!
Another great video. Would be nice if TH-cam didn’t start a commercial in the middle of a sentence and then come back in the middle of another one.
Merci, I almost forget about Soisson.... Magnifique
Hey History Guy! Could you do an episode about the history of popcorn? Thanks man you rock! I’m trying to watch every episode.
Fascinating, as always! Soissons was kind of the Avalon of its day.
Well done! Again. Bitchin tie this time. Love the gold tone.
For a while, a lot of the old Gallo-Roman aristocracy continued to play a prominent role in the Church as bishops, and also as civil servants and diplomacy and courtiers in France. A Count Syagrius was sent as a diplomat to Constantinople, probably a descendent.
The History Guy should do a video about the mad trapper of the rat river. Its one of the most interesting stories ive ever heard. It would be really cool to see your take on it. As always your videos are great thanks
love this documentary video hope you dont mind i have used a snip of this for the simulation of the battle ive put your page into the video il upload soon :D
Great job. There were a lot of moving parts in this one. Some better graphics vs. panning over a map or two would have been a good aid on the shifting in power and land control. Just a thought...
Another amazing video. As a suggestion ever heat of the story of the 'mayhem tower' & the battle of Augusta (Georgia) during the revolutionary war? I personally think it's a cool story about revenge (if you want to call it that regarding Thomas 'Burnfoot' Brown's roll) & ingenuity of the Patriots regarding the construction of the mayhem tower.
Who would ever “dislike” any of these videos?
Robison Barnes
Only ignorant people 😂
The haters are likely the same ones who want to tear down monuments, to revise and rewrite history to suit their political agendas

Love your videos History Guy! Have you done one yet about the USMC pilot Col William Rankin, the "Man Who Rode The Thunder"? He ejected from his early designed jet aircraft above a 47,000 ft towering lightning storm cloud, descended through it, and lived to tell the tale!!
Great videos, Thanks! Would love to see an episode on 'The Thing' (as it later became known). Specifically the crafty cloak/dagger 40's-50's Russian bugging device that operated so successfully for years on end. Wikipedia has an entry on it. Apologies if you've already covered it... I used the search feature, but came up empty.
Wonderful video! I never heard of this period at all.
I don’t know why but the YT iPhone version has titles overlapping why one of your videos is playing, i.e.: “History Deserves Subscribed” ???
Brilliant
thanks
Wow! I have a degree to teach French, and this is far and away the best synopsis of both Soissons AND post-Roman Europe that I have ever found.
Always a great job, sir. I hope American are watching your lectures.
Historian and poet. Well done Sir.
If the Roman Empire hadn't fallen, then maybe the first star ships would be returning from Alpha Centuri right now.
Excellent videos. Suggestion: the explosion in Halifax Harbor in 1917... which might explain why documents related to the Oak Island treasure are so rare
New subscriber! My best pal in high school's grandfather started the Indiana Oxygen company. They pretty much adopted me. I remember a tale of when the Teamsters went on strike and planted a bomb on the largest tanks of compressed gas as leverage in negotiations. That would be a great vid...hint hint. Bob in his top hat and tails! Awesome. I've googled it...no data in the first 10 pages. They would have blown up a square mile of Indy.
