Just want to commend the whole team for putting together one of the hands down, most excellent military history channels on any platform. Your passion for telling great, historically accurate stories really is evident, and I'll happily recommend this channel to anyone who is looking for great historical content. You guys/gals are doing truly great work! And for that, I thank you!
I enjoyed your video, in particular the battle reconstruction with the movements of the protagonists. As I am from Germany, the video was overlayed by a very obviously AI generated voice, unfortunately showing most of the current weaknesses of this technology. Among other shortcomings (not too severe, though), it butchered the pronounciation of the name ‚Plantagenet‘. At this point of time, I rather not have any AI voiceovers. It‘s more of a nuisance than a help or pleasure, it‘s noticable artificial and that diminishes the video from minute 1 onwards.
My ex wife used to park on the car park spot where they found him when she used to go to Social Services with her son who has Cerebral Palsy. When they discovered Richard’s remains she was amazed.
If you're ever in Leicester take the time to visit the museum dedicated to the finding of his grave and the associated history. It's very much worth a visit. Very informative.
Superb video! I like how this video had both military history and mystery (just like a true crime show/documentary about how a victim died). I did not know much about King Richard and learned more from this video. Kudos to the Battle Guide team! 😊 Have a nice day!
Well, when your chief patron is a descendant of Henry Tudor and a rather vindictive, ruthless Queen at that, you make damn well sure to portray Richard Plantagenent as a retched, deceitful bastard as much as possible. Even going so far to give Richard a hunchback, which he never had. This was done to make Richard more of a black-hearted villain. Back in those times, having a Hunchback and a Gammy Arm ment that you were marked by "The Evil One." In the end, William Shakespeare obviously liked his head where it was. On his shoulders and not on the pointy end of a Pike.😊
I really enjoyed the program where they found a man who had a similar deformity and had him set up with armor and tested out if such a person would be effective in a battle. Thanks for bringing up this detail on the actual battle. Charles
Popular joke at the time he was found: The next time you find yourself getting angry because you’re stuck in traffic, just remember. It took Richard III 500 years to get out of the car park!
I've always wondered how some buildings managed to be intact how they were when it was first built and how others got leveled and rebuilt to "current" styling and architecture throughout history. Thank you patreon supporters for making these incredible stories come to life, and to the battle guide team: keep up the phenomenal presentations with incredible graphics and overlay of the maps and terrain; absolutely love seeing the event maps overlaid the current landscape
Really enjoyed your video! However, I thought it is not entirely certain that Richard III murdered his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, and that some have suggested that he may have held them captive without killing them and that it is more likely that Henry VII Tudor had them killed as they posed a threat to his new Tudor dynasty?
The Tower of London has a long article about the Princes in the Tower on their website, including a list of prime suspects. Yes, Richard III is on it, but so are Henry VII and his mother, Margaret Beaufort
1:26 I think this is the first time I have ever heard a UK English speaker say skeletal and I was not prepared for the hard 'e' pronunciation. It makes it sound so.. whimsical 😂
There's compelling entrance that his 2 nephews where not murdered in the tower but survived and tried to retake the thrown when they were old enough,there's a great doc. on channel 4
What a fantastically interesting video! Of course, all of us history nerds watched the dig and resulting findings over the years until the truth of the skeleton was revealed but to see the battle and the fall of Richard like this was thrilling. Thanks so much.
I don't think the intelligence of the Stanley's is given enough praise. That move from the Stanley's is probably one of the most clever moves in Battle I've ever seen. They see that Richard is about to win, so you'd think they'd join on his side. But instead they save Henry's life, slay Richard, making Henry King and now they can ask for whatever they want. Whereas Richard would probably resent their late opportunist based arrival and what can they gain from it very little.
Absolutely adore your content - but the use of AI art within a product as professional as the channel regularly puts out... it's a bit meh. AI art is notorious for getting details not just wrong, but often entirely misrepresenting the subject matter it's attempting to recreate. Ultimately it ends up polluting actual sources and historical reference imagery that exists (I do a lot of visual referencing for work and search engines are a cesspit of AI falsehood at present) Please reconsider the use AI imagery - or do try run a sanity pass with an artist/historian to check that things line up (i cursory issues - The flags in the image are incorrect and no one has a face, the Bow Bridge image is attempting to recreate a far later Georgian/Victorian illustration. The cavalry charge image - medieval fantasy) Regardless of this though, awesome stuff as always and thanks for the thoroughly enjoyable video.
@boots869 didn't usurp anything the crown wasn't his to promise that's norman propaganda not how English kingship works. The English king was decided by the witan not the sitting king. Do some research cheers.
One of my great grandmother's was kidnapped by Abenaki Indians. She was sold to the French in Quebec. One of her grandfather's killed that king, Sir Rhys ap Thomas.
The reason why there is a Shakespeare of the north in Prescot and my local Council has as their emblom the eagle and chlld is that the lord Derby, and that Shakespeare was a ‘friend’ of the Stanley family,look it up, why turned against his family
And destined to be forever immortalised in cockney slang as a Richard, Richard the Third: Turd. Douglas Hurd came and went, that pathetic excuse Charles the Third has come and will go too, true relief will always be the dumping of a damn' good Richard !!!
One cannot help but feel that either the most incredible instance of pure chance in history occurred the day they dug that hole, or God wanted Richard to have a more appropriate resting place. Even if that Catholic king was forced in the end to reside in a proteatant cathedral, One that had long been deaecrated to Catholicism. The church didn't even put up a fight on that matter. How could thwy o suppose. When you know the answer is going to be no, it's best not to ask.
The history we have been taught all these years is from Henry Tudor 's point of view , so he would want Richard to look as a tyrant as they say history is written by the victors
It's always interesting to me that we can go from battles in the Roman Republic times of battles being over 100k men to the medieval period where they don't even come close in most cases.
He must have been poor as a king, Henry's claim to the thrown was week and yet he had significant support, that's telling I think. Henry would probably have not made such an attempt had Edward iv lived longer.
@BattleGuideVT Well its and old and well known story, very nice history to speak and earn about. But it just struck me if you read and listen past the obvious impression of Brittish history here, a new recent history of metal boxes on rubber have takenover so much space everywhere. Even an old Church with an English king in it is not safe for the space we all need to put these 'metal boxes of freedom'. And this is quite new also, we've been doing this for only a few decades. We are so in the middle of it that we cant see the stupidity of it. I think even Henry Tudor would have been very angry at us for beiing so stupid to let this happen.
@@manassenijenhuis2609he’d been in that place for 500 years. Long before the car had been invented. In the UK, the history lies beneath us as we built on top of old structures. Richard was also believe to have been chucked into the nearby river after death. Which is another reason why people never bothered looking.

I told it to my professor in 2011, that he is under the car park 😄
He was a hunchback! That's how people saw him then. Scoliosis wasn't a term widely known. His hands were indeed 'dainty.' too.
Excellent work. Thank you.
My ex wife used to park on the car park spot where they found him when she used to go to Social Services with her son who has Cerebral Palsy.

Crazy how bones can be preserved for almost 600 years under a car park!
Well it wasnt a car park for most of this time tho :D
That was fantastic, I'm so impressed at the depth of information. I've learnt a lot. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Relying on Shakespeare as a source is like relying on GRRM for a history of Europe during the Middle Ages.

Many thanks
Awesome video guys, well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Out of all the history channels I watch, you guys are by far my most sincerely favorite.
No music is a plus

Great video very interesting thanks
Thanks Dan!
Yet again another exceptional video..
I wish you’d have been my history teacher I’d have learnt way more than I actually did😳🤣
Wow, thank you!
I've always wondered how some buildings managed to be intact how they were when it was first built and how others got leveled and rebuilt to "current" styling and architecture throughout history.

What are you talking about?
Your comment makes absolutely no sense at all.
Thanks
Great video! I would have liked to see Richard buried in York Minster as he wished, with his wife, and indeed paid for.
Wow, I grew up really close to mill bay and was unaware of its historical significance. Amazing video.
IMO - the actual battle site needs a couple monuments.
Very interesting & quite informative; cheers to everyone involved in this fantastic video!🥂😃🇺🇸
Can’t believe how many subs compared to quality of video, fair play !
Great video. I have subbed.
Awesome story!!
Hello from Las Vegas Nevada 🇺🇸🫡
Me encanta q hayan empezado a doblar sus videos al español.
Thank you
Was Richard actually as bad as we have been told to believe? Did Richard have any kind of vision for the future of England other than his dynasty?
I think having your nephews killed that was your duty to protect, and taking the throne, counts as being a bad guy.
No because they ended up with the psychotic tuders
@@jamesmacpherson1182 That only means he is in “good”:company.
Don't think so, York vs Lancaster was pretty full on🤔
All this is because someone didn't sort out the drainage in the lower field...
Really enjoyed your video! However, I thought it is not entirely certain that Richard III murdered his nephews, the Princes in the Tower, and that some have suggested that he may have held them captive without killing them and that it is more likely that Henry VII Tudor had them killed as they posed a threat to his new Tudor dynasty?
😂😂😂 stop embarrassing yourself he killed his nephews and took the throne... he done it for the exact same reason you're trying to say henry did
The Tower of London has a long article about the Princes in the Tower on their website, including a list of prime suspects. Yes, Richard III is on it, but so are Henry VII and his mother, Margaret Beaufort
@@S.D._Amersfoort that's history for ya
May I have some more please?
Oh so good👍👍
Thank you 😋
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!

I think this is the first time I have ever heard a UK English speaker say skeletal and I was not prepared for the hard 'e' pronunciation.
It makes it sound so.. whimsical 😂
Can you do a video on the Isle of Man as it has a rich history and you mentioned lord stanley whose family has a history there
Great!
Very good!
Wahnsinn, eine Indiana Jones Story in real life
There's compelling entrance that his 2 nephews where not murdered in the tower but survived and tried to retake the thrown when they were old enough,there's a great doc. on channel 4
No surprise he was buried in a parking lot. The Greyfriers need somewhere to park.
Still amazed they actually found him.
God Bless Harold Godwinson the other English king that died in battle.
The narrator must be biased towards Norman blooded Kings.
Well, he tried to usurp the crown Edward had promised to William
. Big mistake!
What a fantastically interesting video! Of course, all of us history nerds watched the dig and resulting findings over the years until the truth of the skeleton was revealed but to see the battle and the fall of Richard like this was thrilling. Thanks so much.
"Moderate scolicios" are you joking here?
His spine was like a U bend!
I was about to say if that’s moderate then severe must be insane

I do not believe that 5'6" was below average height for the time. I would say it was above average, given the peasant diet and lifestyle.

Geezer got stabbed in the face.
hmm, MAYBE if more English kings died in battle- there would not be SO MANY BATTLES??? where have all the flowers gone?
He must have been poor as a king, Henry's claim to the thrown was week and yet he had significant support, that's telling I think. Henry would probably have not made such an attempt had Edward iv lived longer.
This whole thing sadly says more about car culture and its dominance than it does about Richard the Third
Hopefully that's not all you took from our video

Richard was abused by Tudor propaganda.
The entire working class of this planet has been abused by the British monarchy.
Really? One of the most important historical discoveries of last 500 years? Bruh I hope you are British atleast
I’ll take it you’re not.
