Thank you for watching.
This is exactly the channel I need. So tired of all the bollocks today.
Starkey does what all great teachers do. He prods and pokes, he provokes, and he forces you to think. History with Starkey is exhilarating.
Forcing today's University students to think can be very triggering. Part of the reason Starkey got #cancelled is because he didn't reaffirm the ridiculous worldview of his fragile millennial pupils, and instead challenged them. Their loss... now we get lectures for free from the top Tudor historian in the world.
finally we have something to thank Millennial's hahahahaha Gen X here is very happy with my new History Teacher :)
I can’t agree more.
SO UTTERLY TRUE !
The power and beauty of thought and expression.
I think it is an absolute travesty that David Starkey doesn't have a knighthood.
omg no no no, all this crap regarding trinkets,it is about time this outdated monachy was gone for good,and this country moved in to a modern era.
Agreed, this man is a true expert and a superb teacher, his passion for history is palpable, I could listen to him for hours, he expresses logic and an appreciation of the fascinating twists and turns of history and modern life, he deserves the highest honour that can be bestowed, I suppose politics plays a part in these things .
We are modern we have preferred pronouns and Islam.

What an idioticy!!!
Especially since that shamble of a prime minister like Keir Starmer
Let's start a text campaign to King Charles to do just that 💙🇬🇧💙👑
No second takes! No lavish destinations! Just the important part…his thoughts and his voice!
And the “Post Modernists” want to destroy this wonderful history. Thank you David, I have learnt so much today.
We prefer history to reflect what really happens. We wonder why you don't...
@@jonathonjubb6626 I don’t understand your reply
@@GMN360 England's wealth resulted from, at first piracy, then slavery, intimidation, theft, genocide, the biggest drug running business ever, strategic use of world wars... I managed a history 'O' level without realising this!
@@jonathonjubb6626 I think you have a lot more to learn about history for you have a better perspective and understanding, not only of English history but her European neighbours, Arabia, Africa, West and East Indies, Your blinkered views are frightening. History is wonderful, the good and bad of it, it cannot be changed, although there are people trying to do that.. it makes us what we are. It isn’t all bad. Go and do some family history…that will give you a great understanding of how life through the centuries. By the way I hope you have led a vey puritanical life so far!!
@@jonathonjubb6626 a destructor of history out of spite is nothing less than a thief destroying what they are unable to carry away out of spite.
Hearing David Starkey speak uninterrupted is invaluable.
Dear Prof. Starkey, it’s so lovely to see you . I love the intimate way you inform us about history. The people come to life, they actually seem human and likeable. Thank you so much. I missed seeing you in our biased media .
When Dr Starkey describes Historical events he brings them to life..... I could picture George V pinning the medal on Miss Lizzie Robertson.....Brilliant
I have always found George V a strangely soothing monarch- reassuring, old fashioned standards, a little dull. Rather pleased to realise that there was so much more to him. I admire him even more now.
He was dull but brutal when needed. When the Tsar was overthrown in Russia, Prime Minister Lloyd George arranged for the Tsar and his family to be brought to the safety of England. But George V opposed their arrival fearing it would encourage his overthrow in the UK.
So he implored Lloyd George to cancel the rescue but the prime minister refused to even consider it because the Tsars wife and 3 daughters were British citizens.
So the king went to individual cabinet members and scared them, with tales of revolution, into supporting him and asking them to pressure the prime minister. In the end, Lloyd George decided to hold a vote of the cabinet and follow the majority view. They voted to side with the King. And the rescue was cancelled.
A short time later, George V's beloved cousin Tsar Nicholas II and his British wife and daughters were taken down to a dark dingy basement and executed by firing squad.
You would not be very much soothed by George V if you lived in his household. He was a personal monster, but like the whole of them, he knew how and when to "fake it".
@Fredrik Larsson Monarchy cannot save democracy after having signed away all powers.
@@DS9TREK That was a pretty shitty move by the King. He should have mustered the same energy to oppose the smashing of the constitution in 1911.
@Fredrik Larsson I don't think it is reversible. The old Lords are gone, the new Lords (government cronies) are not desirable - unless you take the appointments away from the cabinet and return zurn it solely to the King. One could replace the Lords with an elected chamber that represents regions (like in federal systems) or certain professional/society groups (Bavaria once had such a chamber) - right I would not want the second variation to be implemented as it seems pretty clear which groups would be represented.
David Starkey is a spellbinding storyteller.
Thank you Dr Starkey. Great to see how easily you uncancelled yourself. I cannot wait to see how popular this channel will get.
Thank-you for starting this channel. You are a breath of fresh air during a smog of political correctness. Love from Florida.
The most surprising fact I read about George V was that he liked jazz, had Louis Armstrong give a command performance for the Royal Family ("This ones for you, Rex!" said Louis), and presented the great musician with a top-notch trumpet as a thank-you.
I've heard this story before, it's delightful. Louis must have been very refreshing. The King's sons, particularly the Prince of Wales and Duke of Kent became very friendly with Adele and Fred Astaire
when they took London by storm, filling the Empire Theatre night after night up to the gods.
He's good at this history lark int he :-)
Sanity in bucketloads here. This channel is food for the soul. 💞
... Sir: through your vivid narrative, History comes to life again! "Old-fashioned way" is really the BEST way to talk about our History!...
At this upload rate Starkey will have covered all of history by tea time tomorrow!
I first saw George V on a Canadian penny and immediately thought he looked like a _real_ king should, with the full playing card-style beard and mustache, regal appearance, everything. George VI looked nothing like a king in comparison. Their changing portraits on coins led me to wanting to learn more about all these folks. It's a fascinating history. And it's nowhere near as boring as stamp collecting 😏.
Great to see you in your own space. Thank you for the years of great insights into our glorious history and present challenges.
What an absolute gift this channel is. I’ve heard others cover this topic in twice the time and only learned half as much. Thank you sir.
Although I've always enjoyed Dr Starkey's television programmes in the past, I really love this more intimate format. It feels like he's talking to me personally and I've been given my very own incredibly knowledgeable professor of history!
This is pure gold...!
Outstanding talks as always David, you are the best historian I've ever known in my 48 years and I'm so pleased that you've got your own channel to share with us your life's passion. 🇬🇧🇬🇧✌✌
Victor Davis Hanson.
He is at the top of his game. Dr Starkey has the ability to de-mystify history; in so doing, he makes the subject far more “accessible” and enjoyable. We cannot do without Starkey. I look forward to watching many more episodes and wish him every success.
The soldier referred to as being carried up on a stretcher to receive his medal at Ibrox was Private Harry Christian, VC, of the Royal Lancashire Regiment. He died in 1974, aged 82.
Thank you, our history is so rich and with such depth, we must never be turned by the noise of the ignorant.🇬🇧
I have a lot of respect for George V. It is interesting to note when certain of the Queen's most valuable assets are detailed. George V stamp collection rates a mention. In fact, one of my favorite little comments when I am annoyed is "Bugger Bognor". Most people have no idea what I am talking about!
I too have an affection for George V and I do know what you are referring to regarding Bognor. King George V visited my father's battleship HMS Nelson before the war and he was very well regarded by all aboard.
@@salvandorum I have read that George V felt very much at home around sailors. A friend of mine, who is a great collector of books, showed me one of his publications with photographs of George V aboard ship with sailors. He looks completely different, because he is smiling. He was happy to be with shipmates!
I live in Bognor Regis. I bet most here don't know either. I do of course. Such a shame the beautiful house he stayed at was demolished.
I respect him a lot too
He is said to have remarked to someone wearing turnups on his trousers, 'I wasn't aware that the corridors of the palace are damp'. I have always found him an endearing figure precisely because he was so awkward and ordinary. A most interesting talk, thank you.
Haha I like George V for being so unusual and simple at the same time
My utmost admiration. If only you could be cloned, we could fill our schools with such magnificent teaching.
A Mr Starkey channel !!!
That is something I was missing in the internet.
Over the years I have learned so much from this man via videos here, there or somewhere.
I will enjoy all the videos here, no doubt.
Thank you and congratulations on your achievements Mr Starkey
:)
Likes of Dr David will retake the means of communication between that have something to say and those of us with a mind to listen... Horray ... !!
Dr. Starkey, please🙂
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 Professor Emeritus (ex), maybe?? Cambridge has a lot to answer for.....
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 HE IS REALLY DOCTOR WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE AND HOW!!!.
It's nice to see a Professor talking about a subject without any need to refer to notes etc. If there was autocue I didn't see it in his glasses or where he looked, a man with such indepth knowledge & expertise that he puts the ones I used to see in University to shame.
That has given me insights and interpretations that I had never considered. Thank you.
You must admit it is far more interesting than BBC 2’s cookery programmes.
Absolutely agree with you .
George V is one of our most underrated monarchs, and certainly the last truly great King we’ve had as he was able to personally negotiate and deal with political figures whenever crises arose while still being above party politics, whereas it would be unthinkable for Elizabeth to do the same.
He should stand in the popular consciousness as important as Henry VIII, but he’s largely just known as the Queen’s grandfather and just another on a list of names but oddly enough, I think that’s exactly how George would have wanted it, not to cover himself in glory or unnecessary honour but to have protected the Monarchy and ensured its smooth sailing for more than a century after his death… not that it would have been possible for him to guess how his great-grandchildren might damage that institution but that’s a separate topic.
George V will always stand as a committed pillar of family, faith, virtue and loyalty, and long may he be remembered as such.
Hear hear
Yes, George V, who as a boy and young man, was the Spare, was a very good King, loyally supported by his dutiful and regal wife Queen Mary.
Well said! George V was a great king, dutiful, faithful, loyal and so handsome
We are transported back in history to another time.. fantastic.
We came to this channel in these early days because we know a bit of history and want a deeper understanding. It is everything I had hoped for. My walk to the shops in the rain this morning could not have been more inspirational. Thank you, Dr Starkey! But I fear that your wisdom will never fall upon the ears of those who most need to hear it.
I train young professionals with at least one university degree and none in the last 5 years has accurately told me the years of WW1 and WW2. There understanding of the events which shaped our nation is pitifully poor. Understanding the nature of Britain - and why we are different to other European nations- through an understanding of the events of our ancestors is everything that I could hope for from our history scholars. But I fear that this channel will simply preach to the choir and improve our singing. Our new, Iraqi born but privately educated in England, education minister needs to speak to Dr Starkey. He has made statements about modernising the curriculum being taught so that inclusivity is no longer tokenistic... deceptively vague as any politician tends to be... Dr Starkey, please get on the blower to Nadhim Zawahi!
Keep them coming pls
Absolutely loved this, so glad to see you back!
Hi starkey I'm 25 from cardiff, always been a really big fan of your history documentaries and your sit down interviews and let's not forget the time you deservingly put down that awful Laurie pennie 😂 there are many really interesting and fun historians on TH-cam that already have a large share of the market, it might be worth doing some collaborations! Keep up the good work, hope to see more of your contentl
Hillsdale College, look them up. I am sure you can find some things most helpful in your quest young one. More with your attitude of searching out wisdom needs to be nutured.
I'm loving these deep-dive talks on specific topics in history.
Such a pleasure to see you back with your own channel sharing your exceptional knowledge in a highly interesting talk. Your common sense, backed up by solid scholarship has been sorely missed.
The part on the King's overhaul of the honours system was deeply reminiscent of the NCF Lecture you gave in 2019. My favourite part of that lecture is how you portrayed the image of the first Labour cabinet under Ramsey MacDonald in 1924 stood outside Buckingham Palace to then being received by His Majesty.
The cabinet, an eclectic mix that included miners and other working-class folk whose origins and politics were light years from that of a King's, still were eager to show their respect, arriving court dress with all the fittings and fixtures which must have been alien to them. Meanwhile, the only person who didn't rock up - in a show of (in my opinion) disrespect - was of course the deeply middle-class Sidney Webb.
For me, this illustrated the deeply patriotic roots of the working-class in Britain.
So for King George to reach across the social ladder as he did, introducing a new order of chivalry to recognise the contributions of those in regular life, he helped to give a sense of touch with the monarchy and the honour it can bestow. And the best part is, is that it continues to this day to reward the service of people who serve their communities and the country at large, giving them a sense of pride and accomplishment which in centuries past would have perhaps never been recognised.
King George's actions, although likely born out of a degree of self-preservation, I'd argue were 2 fold in their effect. The first is that it obviously helped preserved the institution of monarchy, but secondly and most importantly, is that it opened the institution to the country, allowing that participation that had lacked for so long.
An excellent video, Dr. Starkey.
Thank you for creating this channel, I have no doubt that it will evolve into an indubitably useful resource for all.
Having devoured several of his excellent books, recently discovering this channel, I am now officially and unabashedly a David Starkey fan girl
What a service you do for us all! Even this American who loves history. Between you and Larry Arn of Hillsdale College, we have access to serious scholars.
One word... EXCELLENT!
Great channel! It is so important that David is making videos, it really matters!! Thanks David for being brilliant! As far as I’m concerned there is no historian alive that comes even close to Dr. Starkey!
This channel made my day!
I have read David Starkey's books and have been astounded by his intellectual erudition; but listening to him lecture instils in the imagination the heroic transcendence of the ancient Greek orators. His lectures are simply a wonderful gift to humanity.
Dr. Starkey, thank you for providing real historical background to the fascinating idea of monarchy.
Unfortunately, this ancient institution rapidly is becoming a Hollywood-Style PR machine largely thanks to the two horrid characters in MonteShitShow....
The Windsors should hire you as a top adviser or at least top archivist in Windsor.
You are a GEM!
I nearly didn't watch this video because I thought I knew the story of the change of the name. But I'm very glad I did. There was so much I learned.
So glad you started this channel. Followed you on TV for years. So happy to be able to do so again.
Glad to see an astronomical increase in subscribers in just two days!
What a happy day Ive had!Back to back Dr Starkey.Encore!Bravo!
Excellent Thank you!:)
I have a great respect for the direction you have taken, thank you and well done.
Fascinating details on the new orders - such a colourful narrative - can see the pictures in my mind as I listen - fabulous. Thank you Dr Starkey!
Im in danger of over dosing on Starkey but i dont care this old blue collar left school at 15 to join a Guards regiment and still working in a factory at 65 loves this old queen to bits (in a very hetro way ) if you blew your whistle id follow you over the top Sir .respect
Quite delightful. Thank you.
I love this channel already. I enjoy Dr Starkey's use of seemingly minor details to provide a window into the personality of individuals and events. Can't wait to hear more about Reginald Brett.
I have just finished reading a biography of George V by Kenneth Rose. An excellent book that brings out the true qualities of the man. As the Queen used to call him as a child, he truly was Grandpa England.
I think it was the Coronation of King George V when the Coronation Oath was changed to remove all references to "popish superstitions and idolatory" since the King refused to swear the oath in its previous form. He also put his foot down on the Honours system which was totally corrupt and insisted on the enactment of the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act.
What an amazing story. We all know people who lived through his reign.
Some monarchs are great because they are warriors; some because they collect stamps. Ask why the mind becomes so intrigued by stamps? What does a stamp represent? What's on it -- a picture, colours, names, words. My imagination was always sparked by stamps, especially those from far away countries and people.
Mind blowing stuff ! This tale has been kept from me during my education and also by the media during my life. I am so grateful to you , sir, for filling in the gaps in my knowledge. Things I have always wondered about.Explains so much. Keep on in this fashion please. Fascinating insights.
Thank you for this channel David - you are a national treasure!
Thank you for this channel. Learnt a lot and liked Starkeys measured speech. I'm hooked, I've subscribed.
Put simply, thank you David. I’m looking forward to your next 🏴🇬🇧
Gosh, how I wish I had a history teacher like Dr David Starkey when I was young.
I only knew George V for his torturous treatment of his children, which I'm sure contributed to the early death of George VI. Its interesting to discover the pivotal role he played in maintaining the RF in this country, and the wisdom and understanding he had.
He was s typical dad of his era, strict and disciplinary, but he wasnt as terrible as they make him out to be
Unbelievable, so now George V is responisble for the death of George VI too?? The ww2 took a toll on George VI, his father wasnt responsible for it
And its so sad that you know so little about George V
Wonderful David!
You will soon have over 100k subscribers, enough to fill any UK football stadium with your historical knowledge.
Saved for when I get home from work, very much looking forward to this
I love the way you describe what happened. I was completed transported back in time to 2017.
U mean 1917
David, you are spoiling us! Please continue, you are marvellous sir.
Your final sentences are very clever...... designed to make one think. Thank you.
What a wonderful series, thank you for producing it. I love British History have for years and more so since I'm working on the Family Tree, all my English ancestors all lived in Bury Lancaster and only one emigrated to The US in 1881 and settled in Providence Rhode Island.
Love it! Thankyou David
David...wonderful...do not forget your promise to us...history is about truth ..about ourselves and projection of this truth into the future.
Beautifully expounded as always Dr. Starkey, and when it came to Ibrox Park I could almost hear the noise of the approval of the crowd.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks
Dr. Starkey, love your talks! Kisses to you all over your face!!!!!!!!
A cup of hot tea goes with this nicely.
Fascinating Dr Starkey. Thank you a most informative and interesting talk.
I am in my late 60s and at skool the latest period studied was 1789 - 1870. Any study more modern has either been motivated by my father's exploits in WW2 or my own desire to understand the building blocks of my own life. This period has been sadly neglected. Thanks, Prof. That was so enlightning. I'm hungry for more.
Well done sir !
If you build it the history lovers will come, 3.2k in 4 hours 😏
I like this turn of phrase. Nice to read a variation on a sentiment most of us are happy to express.
Fun to cite other possible variations ; Have mind will travel - It's Starkey's world, we just live in it ...
and so on.
Absolutely brilliant!
Fantastic and well done!
Starkey coming in hot throwing shade at stamp collectors.
What a brilliant video. I hung on every word.
An absolutely fantastic production.. 😃 thank you so much...
Slow down David! I can't keep up if you're going to upload this often.
Only joking. Keep em coming.
I've had a fun time watching these new videos on their first day of release. Long may they continue to be released! In fact, if Dr S produces one recording focusing on each of the British monarchs then I would be an avid follower, but I suspect he'll have a lot more to say on other (non-royal) topics. THANK YOU!
I’m so enjoying this. Thank you Dr Starkey..
I enjoyed history at school but Mr Starkey, you are on a much higher level. You bring the past to life and I now have my very own teacher. Thank you, sir.
I was overjoyed when I discovered Dr. David Starkey's TH-cam channel. What David has to say about the history of England has piqued my interest completely. Long may this channel continue.
A consumate professional, an excellent historian with fantastic eye to detail, who performs his lectures in equally precise, entertaining, and enthusiastically thought provoking way. Exactly what the internet and TH-cam needs more of: informing people of historical truths and facts instead of woke identity political idealogues. Thanks Professor David Starkey! Keep up the fantastic work!
History brought alive with honesty and candour, well done David Starkey.
Loved the description of stamp collecting as 'The most boring of hobbies'. Spot on!!
Perhaps it was a reinforcement of the continuation of the Monarchy. I love your history lessons Professor Starkey. Greetings from Australia.🇦🇺🇬🇧
A riveting delivery of a largely forgotten aspect of British monarchical history. I was totally transfixed. Thank you.
