Very good indeed
Can you do Sargon the great?
A small mistake at the beginning of the video but England doesn't owned any land in France.
It was all the Plantagenet kings that owned these lands as duke or count while they were king in England.
Who ever played King of England was the best part of the movie after Mel Gibson
I can't find your
Patrick McGoohan made the role of Longshanks his, it was the performance of a life time. It was memorable when his son's lover told Edward that he was skilled in the art of warfare and Edward replied "ARE you?" and threw him out a high window.
Actually Edward II’s lover was a renowned winner of tournaments and performed spectacularly in actual warfare. Just sayin. Ummmm Gaveston, right?
@@annacostello5181 Tin Man is talking about a scene in a movie - known to be historically inaccurate on a number of points. The only thing both History and the movie agree on, is that the future Edward II was inept.
Och aye, but he was still a durtee dee generate cnut. Chomo.
I remember that scene. He put his arm round Gaveston’s shoulders and appeared to earnestly seek his advice, as they walked across the chamber… until they reached the window.
Patrick McGoohan's performance while very good, paled in significance to the real Longshanks. In my eyes he didn't physically impose himself in the film other than the scene of him throwing his son's favourite through the window. Edward I was a larger than life character when he was alive, he was a veritable hero to the English comparable to Richard Lion Heart because of his escapades as a vicious warrior fighting in multiple battles in England Wales France and the Holy Land.
I absolutely love this particular narrator! The quality of his voice, the cadences, the volume, and the enunciation is all perfect. Excellent documentary, as always! Give this narrator a raise! 🙂💰
I was just thinking the same thing. His enunciation is excellent! It's a pleasure to listen to someone who can be relied on to not butcher the English language.
I particularly like the way he says "however". Don't know why.
I enjoy it, but it sounds slightly faux posh for American audiences
Sorry mate, not a fan of pompous english accents - and its got nothing to do with me being Sottish!!!!!
Hear hear. God save the narrator!
Great job on your history series. As a historian, I believe these should be shown in schools around the world.
I just love his narration, and as a Welsh person his pronunciation of Welsh names and places.
It I find makes a huge difference a fine piece of art in words
I can't wrap my head around how people lived back there. There seems to have never been a day of peace and stability. War was as common as Starbucks today. Insane.
Half the comments on here: He is my great great great great great great grandfather and I couldn't be more proud to be so closely related to him 🥴🥴🥴 hurr durr 🥴🥴🥴 lol
Robert Bruce said he feared Edward I bones more than he did the living Edward II. Given the time period we are studying here, a fearsome warrior king would have been infinitely preferable. And let us not forget the major reforms he made in Parliament and the legal system, on the back of his father’s and grandfather’s terrible rule, including the 2 Barons Wars. He learned greatly from his fathers mistakes and his own at the Battle of Lewes, appointed the loyal and brilliant Robert Burnell as Chancellor which set the importance of Chancellor as we know it today, re-established the Royal Prerogative whilst pacifying the disgruntled barons, set up an efficient system of raising royal finance, including the reissue of coinage which made £25k profit (and establishing faith in coinage needed at the time of a growing cash economy which was replacing the feudal system) and his expulsion of the Jews in 1290 came as a result of the requirement put in place by Parliament in return for the taxation he needed rather than purely to do with his own anti-Semitism. And he was a loving husband to Eleanor to boot, her death in 1290 partially explains his increasing brutality and fearsomeness in the time thereafter.
I could go on and on but what I’m trying to do is balance out the negative portrayals this brilliant king receives in this day and age. Yes he was brutal. So too was the time period in which he reigned.
"Yes he was brutal but so was the time period he lived"
What a pathetic attempt to justify an evil dictator King that mass genocided, raped and enslaved innocent people.
The English were always the bad guys throughout history.
Most hated people in the world.
And that is King Robert the Bruce to you limey.
He never said that either about Longshanks.
King Robert the Bruce crushed your English armies to dust and won Scotlands freedom.
Thanks for sharing this fascinating addition to Longshank’s story.
@@MetalGearTenno Cry some more with your pitiful presentism. The time period was in fact a brutal era, castle garrisons were often times executed when captured after a hard siege, towns and cities sacked, villages burned, people massacred or enslaved, farms burned and livestock taken or killed. Longshanks, The Bruce, Wallace, De Warrene, and other war leaders were men of their time and acted accordingly. Longshanks had Simon De Montford's body hacked to pieces with his genitals cut off and placed on his face, Robert Bruce stabbed The Red Comyn in his back murdering him, and William Wallace flayed that evil fat vermin Hugh Cressingham's obese carcasse after Stirling Bridge as revenge for Hugh's flaying alive of Scots prisoners. It is you who are pathetic coming here with your puerile feelings as if it is going change anything...
Do you know why he was called long shanks? Maybe it's obvious, but is this confirmed.
@@whynotcreateloveyes it was because of his rather extraordinary height for the time period of 6ft 2. Longshanks translates as Long Shins so basically Long Legs. He is quite an extraordinary character lol.
Superbly done....fantastic. I really enjoyed the quality and the narration wasn't destroyed by overbearing pointless music !!
1,000% right, Mike!!
One of England’s greatest kings. Not only was he known as Longshanks, he was also called Hammer of the Scots. Excellent documentary on Edward I.
Greatest is up to interpretation.
All you anti Scots love that don’t you
Permanent war entirely unnecessary as far as English were concerned. All about France-based conquerors of England having been detached from their core France-based lands when John was king trying to get the land in continental Europe back while expanding their land ownership into Wales and Scotland
Rapist monster too the Scots more like a beastt
@@ianmuir3640 it was a battle for dominance England or Scotland had to win in the end, it just happened at England had better land for farming and trade.
"A man does good work, when he rids himself of shyte."- Edward Longshanks
Ruthless but efficient
'A man does good business when he rids himself of a turd"
Ba ha ha!
And he was the Shyte.
@@nialllee2695 no he wasn't....study who he throw out of Scotland
Then died of dysentry 🤣🤣🤣
The most underrated King of England ever to my opinion and again to my opinion, one of the greatests ! Greetings from Eastern Europe!
What do you know, he was a murdering bully.
@@williamwallace4924 I dont pretend to know a lot but comment like this is expected from you 😁
In Scotland he is not appreciated at all
@@liamyoung5490 Well .. I would say excpeted .. I wonder how well he is appreciated in Wales :D
Edward being called Longshanks strongly reminds me of shirtless Vladimir Putin. So there were two Ukraines in the island of Britain alone in the middle ages.
As a Scot I found this video an excellent work. I had long wondered about the extreme cruelty of Longshanks Scottish 'Crusade'. Any medieval knight on crusades witnessed and probably participated in acts ignoble of their chivalrous oath since they were at war with Non Christians.
Wallace's fate was par for the course in medieval Britain. However the acts that Longshanks' Sheriffs and Bishops perpetrated against the Scottish civilians were beyond the pale for 'Christian warfare' which began during the English occupation of Scotland. Longshanks did not have an effective hold on Scotland because of this and he never sought to win over the hearts and minds of the people.
When The Bruces Queen and Daughter and brother were caught, his Brother was immediately hung and disemboweled. Bruces' wife the Queen of the Scots, was hung in a cage on the walls of an English castle for 8 yrs. His daughter was locked in a nunnery. They were not released until after Bannockburn. When Longshanks caught the Welsh rebels they were simply beheaded.
Pppppppp pop pppppppppppp
Only reason he came for the Scots was the constant raids across the English border
Thank you for telling the truth ❤
Great video, I highly appreciate the detail. Personally, I would disagree with the notion that Edward was a poor administrator, financier and logistician. He read books, oversaw law disputes, engaged in complicated diplomacy and managed the supply of his armies on a scale that was possibly never seen before in England and which led to the military successes that his predecessors and successors failed to reciprocate. I will emphasise however, that evidence is lacking and it’s possible that all this was also done by capable subordinates.
Great video, keep up the great work. 👍
'It’s possible that all this was also done by capable subordinates'. Which in its self would have been a skill - leave the small details in the hands of the capable.
Side note: Edward's avatar is a picture of Patrick McGoohan, the actor who portrayed Longshanks in the film Braveheart. I agree with a comment made by one that McGoohan was in fact perfect for the part. I consider it a bit of casting genius. For those of us old enough to remember, McGoohan also was the star of the TV show The Prisoner, which, coincidentally, can be seen on Primewire. An obscure, well produced British spy show. Dry as hell, too.
🧐
Secret agent series as well, lol also he was the most scariest character when I was very young, in Walt Disney “the scarecrow “ series, on Sunday nights, in America.
You are not talking about the painting, are you? That is not Patrick McGoohan. It has to have been Edward I.
Charles Dance would be better seeing as the character Tyson Lannister was inspired by Edward I and Charles Dance played that to perfection.
HELL DRIVERS@@Apollo890
Stephen Dillane was also an excellent choice to play Edward I
There's the line from "The King And I": "The worst barbarian is a weak king!" Something applicable to Stephen and Henry VI, but NOT to Edward I.
Hollywood should make a blockbuster about him! His story is fascinating.
No hollywood please
They are going to americanize it
I love your username ahaha
They kinda did in Braveheart that movie was just as much about him as it was William Wallace
@@kelseyj.c7828 But I agree a whole movie dedicated from his childhood till death would be pretty sweet
@@chrisszuch9482 yes but he was portrayed as the bad guy. I think it would be much more interesting if he was portrayed more in depth from the standpoint of a successful leader.
This narrator's voice is really calming
my favorite English King, seeing his stone coffin in Westminster Abbey was a highlight for me. It was actually opened in the 18th century and his remains were examined... I wonder how much of him is left these days.
Go and have a look. Mind record it and stick it on youtube !
Usually it doesn't do a well preserved corpse much good, when the coffin is opened and exposed to oxigin.
Okay who is this nut called Trump I
He never got put into his tomb cos that was to happen as soon as every Scot was underfoot. It should’ve happened when we were colonised in 1707 but it didn’t
I have a hammered silver penny from Longshanks reign. A weird feeling holding it, knowing it was being used all those years ago!
The silver will be way older than that too, perhaps Roman and resmelted. Precious metals are rarely lost, people tend to look after it and look for it if misplaced, so much of today's in the form of coins and jewellery etc. was mined hundreds to thousands of years ago.
how do know it was drunk?
Thank you for a new appreciation of the higher middle ages! I tend to be more about the modern era 1750 and up. Now I have both.😀👍👍❤️
The man known to history... I love when I hear these words on my autoplay
His life should be a HBO series
Thank you, very much for this! This man has a nice, well-focused voice AND I CAN UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD HE SAYS!!! Well-presented throughout and so informative.
An extraordinarily detailed historical account, so detailed in fact that 1 wonders how we could trust its accuracy given it's detail & the fact that the events it speaks of took place between the 1200's & 1300's A.D. (Approx.). 800 yrs - that's a long time ago. It is widely believed & I suspect can be generally trusted that the peoples of Europe were quite adept at keeping reliable records of such events. Undoubtedly the volume of material from which all of the information conveyed in this presentation was drawn far exceeds that contained in the presentation itself. So we have a condensed account - necessarily, or this presentation would have had to have been much, much longer. I must confess that this condensed account does have a ring of truth to it. It certainly has been very thoroughly, impressively & artfully presented, both verbally & visually. Thank you for your efforts. I found it very fascinating.
Don't forget that Edward was a Plantagenet King, A Frenchman as were all the plantagenet's. When William won at the battle of hastings and started this reign of the French, the royal family of the English King escaped to Scotland and took refuge with their cousins in Edinburgh castle.
Outstanding presentation! Thank you.
A little plug for family trees- search out your heritage. You may be surprised like I was that as an American I’m directly related to him!
Crazy
The way Edward was portrayed in Braveheart is my favorite portrayal of an English king there is. In a way it’s my stereotypical view of what a king is in general
His grandfather signed 'Magna Carta' which put the monarch under the law. Though Edward killed reformist deMontfort in battle, his father nevertheless consented to the 'Marlborough statute' cementing constitutional reforms and Parliament. So Edward was England's first 'constitutional' monarch. Though he did not much behave as if 'constrained', the rules had changed.
King John was crossing his fingers when he signed the Magna Carta 🤪
@@loislewis5229 REMEMBER, ALL THIS STUFF WAS IN FRENCH ONLY!
The Magna Carta was in favor of the nobles, not the general populace. May have presaged very long term future changes, but not like those of much later years, pretty much after the accession of William and Mary.
Excellenr as always. I am not a historian but these documentaries make me feel like being. Thanks.
Edward was probably one of England’s greatest kings! The man took no shit from anyone. All through history we have seen rulers be persuaded by others and also some that have been overthrown and ruled from inside enemy’s but Edward was a solid ruler no one would of even tried to fuck with him. Wish we had a ruler like this today although he was a bit harsh with the Scot’s 🤫
We did…his name is Donald J Trump
@@user-mj6zr5gh7s please don't compare a fantastic medieval warrior-king to a modern day entrepreneur who was buddies with Epstein and other subhumans
What I've always found a little perplexing is the Scot's requesting Edward for help in their own affairs and NOT foreseeing the high potential of problems arising and/or that it could and would come to open a huge conflict with the King. They took too high a risk there, especially knowing Edward's ruthless disposition.
When I saw Braveheart I thought. “Shouldn’t we get both sides to the story?” & “why did they call him ‘longshanks’?” Got em both answered here.
I’d love for you to do one on the Marquis De Lafayette
I enjoyed this. I descend directly from Hugh Crawford and "Braveheart "was raised by him after his parents were killed....
I mean, if I were him I'd want to control the entirety of the island (Britain) too. I don't blame him.
@@julieloper291 Sir Hugh was his grandfather & sheriff of Ayr. I live on what would’ve been Clan Crawford territory. Paisley, on the west coast of Scotland. They had like a wee holdfast that sat right in the River Clyde. There’s still some ruins there from it but the place has been completely developed into flats, massive office buildings & casinos. It’s still pretty cool to see though & has a little plaque explaining all the details. Do you live in Scotland?
Braveheart wasn't even the Scottish side's story. Just a film featuring characters named after people from history and some events that vaguely referenced historical events. Like most films, not historical even when purporting to be so. And Edward's side was Norman French, not English except for enforced footsoldier-serfs owned almost as slaves by the Norman French
@@cuebj Nonsense
Whenever I'm feeling nervous - like before a big speech or before talking to a girl - I just think of King Edward Longshanks. Balls increase instantly.
Wow. You must reek of desperation.
I own an Edward 1st silver coin.
Ive got a lot of antiques but this piece is one of my favorites.
I have one also. Can I ask how much your's cost Woody?
@@TapDancerDood around 45 english pounds.
Not fair....but I do have a Roman Triumvirate coin.
Most informative historical chapter coverage about premodern English history
Excellent survey of a fascinating and very complicated era in the British Isles…and the narration is first rate-a joy to hear!🏆
Wow. Where were you when I was being taught world history? Fantastic presentation. It was engaging, interesting and should be a reminder to all Americans WHY their ancestors left England and fled to the New World. Presently, it would appear this New World is headed back to the ways of Old England. The tyrannical winds of Old England have found their way to America, bringing the ghosts of monarchial rule with it....
Really glad you remade this, great content. Tried listening to the original after hearing your excellent mammoth plantagenets part 1 vid, but found the original narration very hard to engage with. Keep up the good work
This video was very well done. I had heard some of these things before in shorter videos but this really brought it all together for me and made sense of it. Quite a man, gave a well rounded view of him as a person and a king. Thanks!
You have spoiled me with the smooth narration of Rob Jones. Although this narrator here does a good job at bringing the text to life, it's a bit overpowering. It distracts from learning. I feel a bit bad, because there's no will to diss him. He's good, he simply may be not using his voice talent in the best way for this kind of material.
There's an undertone of humanity that Rob Jones brings to his readings. He's taking us on a voyage of discovery with the hidden smile of a father teaching his kid in his voice. He's telling us a story with a smooth yet captivating voice. He'll put me to sleep while in bed with that voice of his, yet I'll rewind in the morning, wanting to know what happened to that Nazzi lover and people killer he's narrating on.
Please keep him. I was an early watcher of your channel, in and out. This narrator Rob Jones is responsible for me finally subscribing. A jewel to your channel.
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Great documentary.
If only we had a leader like Edward I today! 🏴
He was more French then English
King Edward I is forever my personal favorite of the Plantagenet line of the early Kings of England. His grandson Edward III gets all the praise, but that's partly because his blood goes back to Edward I. His rule is legendary and he truly would have bourne one imposing figure to face!
Absolutely loved listening to this. Beautifully narrated. Thanks for upload 😅
A fine documentary on one of the world’s most influential and ambitious Kings.
A great great king , we need him back now. Rip longshanks
A great, and terrible, King indeed.
And one of England’s best.
That epithet is normally applied to Edward III.
@@LordOfLight Yeah, unfortunately Edward III did not age like fine wine. Had he died just a couple of years earlier the Black Prince would have taken the throne and the history of England would be a very different story. Edward III would be known today as a great king that built a fantastic base for his equally capable heir. Instead being seen as a flawed king that worked so hard only to have all his work undone towards the end of his life and under Richard II.
Although at the same time it did eventually lead to the great Henry V being king, who himself could possibly have been seen as the greatest monarch in world history had he not died so young.
The fascinating history of a distant cousin. Clearly, when you look at the changes King Edward 1 and Edward 3 made it led to the form a Great Briton as it was later known.
Super excited about this video!! Absolutely love it!!
Quintessential medieval king.
What a king should be
Honestly the claims of Edward Plantagenet’s to the British isles went back to Æthelstan, even earlier than William I The conqueror. Both were kings of England and both recieved homage from Alba, Strathclyde (Cumbria) and Wales
It’s not like wales had a choice

I can clearly see where George RR Martin got the inspiration for Tywin Lannister.
Yeah idk if he's said where he got his inspiration from but I'm 100% sure that Tywin is based on King Edward
@@drax5872 George RR Martin did actually admit in an interview that was shown on the World of Ice and Fire Lore of season 4 of Game of Thrones DVD set that Tywin Lannister was based off of Edward the 1st of England.
@@masonstauffer5974 Oh cool! Thanks for sharing! Definitely makes a lot of sense and they absolutely aced the casting when they picked Charles Dance for the role of Tywin Lannister
Apprently He based his books on the Wars of the Roses
The narration sound like the English actor David Haig. Excellent commentary.
Wonderful as always. Thanks so much😀!! - Jessica M. Kandal, PhD
I would hardly call Braveheaart a "documentary", it is loosely based on history but a lot of artistic license was taken in the making of the movie, and some critical historic facts were omitted, I would categorize the movie as an "entertaining rendering of history" rather than a documentary, that being said, Patrick McGoohan gave a stellar performance as King Edward I
Poorly worded title. They're obviously not implying that Braveheart is a documentary. The "from Braveheart" should've been in parenthesis.
I was wondering if they were referring to a documentary about Braveheart....? Otherwise the title makes no sense since the movie Braveheart is not a documentary.
Really appreciate every biography of historical figures. Keep it up guys. So that more people know what os real and fiction. 😂
A great grandfather of mine... I love these stories!

Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"
When you have a nickname like "Malleus Scotorum", you *know* you're a true badass. Might as well add "Malleus Cambriae" as well.

@@brycehalvorson6270 with that time gap, that's a meaningless piece of information
Stephen Nicholas,. Go and study ancestry, find out your DNA ROOTS! I will not hear any negativity on this subject, especially when anyone can do it. If you are that skeptic on doing it, you just proved you have a fixed mindset. Go and study.
Yes don't let negativity get the best of anyone. People are ignorant, want to learn, unlike people who have a fixed mindset will never be open to new things. But yes Patrick Mcgoohan is a distant relative. DNA research made it so. Can be tracked and traced same with royal documents handed down generation to generation known as Charters. Which my family has them.
He did such a good job in that role and it's really neat to find out he is actually related to Longshanks thank you 😊

Thanks!
Thank you Brian!
Really enjoyed this
Richard I bankrupted the country and through ineptitude gave the French the opportunity to begin pushing the English out of France. It's amazing how he is deified and his brother reviled when King John was left with nothing but the resentment of the barons.
To be fair, John didn’t need any help upsetting everybody around him.
He was probably the second-worst ruler the land has ever had (the worst title being held by Aethelred II “The Unready”, who committed genocide on his own city of York, kept the country’s worst ever traitor Eadric Streona as his counselor, and almost bankrupted the land by paying Danegeld many times over).
Maybe it's because he achieved great victories in Cyprus and the Levant while Philip II reneged on his vows and John was an incompetent usurper. Also he was crushing the French until he took an unlucky crossbow bolt.
Great episode of the life of my 21st Great Grandfather.
Greatly information. I enjoyed this video
My family goes back to Edward I, of England, on 5 family lines.
as he was my 23rd great grandfather i can only say he was legendary - he certainly did a lot of good that remains to this day
As you can tell by my avatar, I admire him quite a bit.
he is my 18th great grandfather. his daughter Joan of Acre is the starting of my family line. good to see more family on here.
He had my 20 great grandfather and his brother William Wallace and there father hung beheaded quartered gruesome, murdered…. No like here only hatred. It’s hard because I’m also related to Tudors….
