There is Unruly - a book on English history he's written which covers up until the era of this video basically - super interesting - and he narrates it on Audible
Cept, he's just so ignorant about a lot of things and has a weird fixation on erasing Scottish history. Check out his video on how Gaelic isn't a necessary language, despite it still being spoken, if you think I'm wrong.
This and Mitchell's "Unruly" book are the best 101-level starter guides for the history of Britain for anyone from the US, where our knowledge of the monarchy starts with George III. David and Victoria Coren Mitchell top the list for the people I'd most like to have over for dinner and drinks on weekends.

Not only was William III King James II's son-in-law, he was also his nephew. William and Mary were not just husband and wife, they were first cousins too.
One of the most complicated periods of British history - and that’s saying something - nicely summarised into a foundation for further exploration. Nice work.
THE STUARTS IN 7 MINUTES PRESENTED BY COMEDIAN DAVID MITCHELL HD 1658pm 15.7.24 i doubt you can be too tolerant. i think it's a case of how you bow out. you could become more ruthless and tyrranical but that would mean they, the mob, have more fodder and ammo to throw at you as to why you should eff off. or you could be liberal and usher yourself out without too much hassle and/or fuss.... still, it's down to how they grab your attention or how malleable your purview is - as a spectator/pleb/maker of history - in reference to the royal houses in flux or the print makers dishing out their literal facts and wood cuts.
A really bizarre period. - A Scottish king became king of England and Ireland, after years of uncertainty about Elizabeth's heir. - James I's son, Charles I, was beheaded. - The monarchy was restored with Charles I's son, Charles II, who had a million illegitimate children, but no heir. - Charles II's Catholic brother, James II, became king. - He was overthrown by his own daughter and her husband, who both died within six years. - James II's other daughter became queen, and died without an heir!
And Princess Diana was descended from Nell Gwynn. Charles' ll best knowm mistress. For some reason I cannot fathom Nell was always a heoine in my memory of school.
David Mitchell has written the sort of book that Mark Corrigan could really sink his teeth into, while secretly not reading most it, only watching this version.
I thought so but looked it up to check. Mitchell studied history at Cambridge. Ive seen one of two other things that made me assume he had. One of my favourite comic actors.
I love that when Mary Queen of Scots went to France to marry the Dauphin, her Valois relatives were so disgusted by her ‘vulgar’ Scottish accent and mannerisms they gave her a French makeover, which included changing “Stewart” to “Stuart”, as they considered it a much more elegant spelling…❤️🏴❤️ PS @DSQueenie…quite!
Very good, but a Scottish prequel wouldn't go amiss. The early Stewarts and their quasi-divine pretensions explain a lot about Charles I and his spawn.
In the US, we have William and Mary to thank for the second oldest college in the States, College of William and Mary, established by them by letters in 1693.
This history provides context to the America's founding fathers support of separation of church and state. This history along with Jefferson's own experiences in Virginia.
Oh thank God that theres an American to remind us that there is an America. We cannot have any historical videos on here without any relevance to the USA.
I LOVE unruly, i bought it as a gift for somebody, yet as it was so interesting i ended up reading it, and keeping it and bought the gift recipient a lynx set and a box of after eights instead😂 if you cant see the sheer comedy in that, i dunno what to tell ya. Buy or borrow this book its absolutely fascinating and one of the best reads in modern times that relays historically accurate facts with the appeal that this foccused snippet with animation does. :)
It's actually the Stewarts, Stuart is a frenchified version of the name, beside all Stewarts are related regardless of the mineut differences in the spelling of the name
It's Stuarts after Mary I because she married a guy from the branch that "frenchified" their name due to the fact they had titles and land in France. So it's basically two different dynasties. Plus she grew up in France herself. The Stewarts that ruled until Mary I were main line Stewarts, after Mary I you have Stuarts, a junior branch of main Stewarts via Stewarts of Bonkyll who separated even before Stewarts became monarchs of Scotland.
@@joekerr9197 Stuart STARTED to become adopted in the late 16th century due to the absence of the letter w in the french alphabet, however BOTH variants were used for long after
Oi, fucknucle, Mitchell has a Scottish father, a Welsh mother, and Irish grandparents...he also has a Cambridge education... ye cannae get out ye mum's basement...get tae feck twatwaffle...
Oi, roomba boi, Mitchell's father is Scottish, his mother is Welsh and his grandparents are Irish... he's not english...grow up and redistribute your ire somewhere else where it can do some good...cor...
@@davidlittle7182 Mitchell’s father (Ian Douglas Mitchell) was from a Scottish family. His mother was Welsh. He says he considers himself British, not English. So unless he went out of his way to dis his own family history, I think you might be looking for something that really isn’t there.
The base of a constitutional monarchy after the Glorious Revolution was not from an act of Parliament, it was the Declaration of rights which was written into statute later on and as the authority of those representing us, along with Act 1 and 2. Also there was no transfer of power from the monarchy to Parliament, ie the Devine rights of kings.
Into the Georgian rule, Officers in the Scots regiments of the British army when making a toast to the King, would first place a cup or glass of water on the table, and swing their glass over the water when making their toast, “To the King”, as their Stuart King (Bonnie Prince Charlie) was “O’er the water” in France.
Anne plunged England into a punishing war with France? The War of Spanish Succession was undisputably an English victory. The French and Dutch fleets were vanquished as were the French and Dutch treasuries. England got preferential treatment because they signed a seperate peace with France. Louis XIV's France was set to take over Europe before the war and after the war their armies were broken and they were feared by no one. England united with Scotland to form the country of Great Britain. This would have been impossible without the victories of the Duke of Marlborough during the war. Therefore the war was hardly 'punishing'. It is extremely rare for a country to do as well as England did during the war of Spanish Succession. The protestant succession was recognized by France, they got territorial concessions in the Americas as well as receiving Gibraltar from Spain. England went from a minor power to a great one and in the 50 years following the war English exports doubled.
I believe you can say a war is a victory and a success and at the same time punishing as it is being fought. I would say both world wars are examples of complete victories by the victors, but both are certainly punishing.
Whato all Great Britain is not a country, it actually is an island but in this context it could be thought as a kingdom. England, Wales and Scotland, which make up the island of Great Britain, are still countries in their own right.
I really recommend Mitchell's book on the history of British monarchs, Unruly. While Mitchell doesn't come out as a clear republican, he certainly doesn't hold back in examining just how bonkers our monarchs have been.
The "English Civil War" was the actually The War of the Three Kingdoms as it started in Scotland with a rebellion against James 1st and spread to England and Ireland.

Catholic vs Protestant (vs hyper-Protestant) is one way of telling it; but there is also a debate between political government, in England the power of Parliament, and royal absolutism. The two tend to overlap. The (male) Stuarts were always prone to absolutism.
Annie Trinity Yeah, it is kind of misleading. Maybe they thought people would confuse him with the author, in which case they needed some kind of qualifier. Comedian is really the only one appropriate.
Rick in Texas Why? Your constitution is the product of the Parliament's struggle with the Stuarts. Your war of Independence was essentially a sequal to our Civil War.
@@philipritson8821 We're so brought up on freedom of religion. (Even though we're currently in a cultural war of freedom OF religion vs freedom FROM religion) We're largely taught that our rebellion was about taxes and representation. Monarch changes and beheadings due to religious differences are just not part of our history. Except the bit where most of the Founding Fathers were of British ancestry as well as citizenship.
The 17th century was a dark time in English history. We had the civil war, black death, great fire, revolution, religious intolerances and to top it off we invented Americans!
What has my country become... First we have a Scottish king who allowed a man who he is not related to invade his most intimate life. Then we had a king who did some stupid things and lost his head Then we have Cromwell... Then we had a monarch who was so busy with his mistresses that he didn't produce an heir Then we had a Catholic king who didn't abide by the rules of the Church of England Then we had two monarchs at the same time Then we had Anne, I don't know what she did wrong I'm Catholic so don't mistake me for my grand nephew, Edward VI
A very good man who was concerned about the environment long before any other royal. The others mostly partied. He took initiatives to restore good architecture, created programs to benefit inner city youth, and took environmental initiatives. Anything but spoiled. Learn about his desolate childhood. Too bad about the homeopathy advocacy but its harmless. No more expensive than anyone else.
quite a silly title , history of the stuarts, for over a century the stuarts were monarchs of scotland, and allies of the kingdom of france.., the major enemies of the stuarts and scotland were the dreadfully english and the kingdom of england.. the tudors too originated in wales,were welsh* when england,ireland and wales had the war of the roses-cousins, the stuart dynasty was firmly in power**.. King James vi of scotland had already reigned for 15 or more years by 1603 in scotland...once again, its not UK history but a anglo-UK phobic view of history from only a english perspective, history is sometimes only intepretations not actual de-facto reality...
@@Nick.Martin. there is little point, replying to that comment, david mitchhell , should concentrate on comedy... and leave alison weir and other great historians, write factual history books..., Unruly is at best overtated and exagarated..., its role in the universe, totally ignorges scotland, wales, ireland or anywhere else in the UK, and gives clueless americans and amateur historians, a totally bland and stale, even boring version of a well known historical narratives almost a copy and paste ... that probably dan snow, philppa gregory could do a lot better... it has historical bias and is opinionated from the first sentence, the section about poor *so called bloody mary tudor, executing thousands...and praising henry 8th as a great king, without mentioning he executed his close & distant family members must be madness....

King James vi of scotland had already reigned for 15 or more years by 1603 in scotland...once again, its not UK history but a anglo-UK phobic view of history from only a english perspective, history is sometimes only intepretations not actual de-facto reality...
Exactly
This was produced for the “Stuart’s on line”. If you go to their site (linked in the description) you might think differently about your comment.
@@Nick.Martin. there is little point,
replying to that comment,
david mitchhell , should concentrate on comedy...
and leave alison weir and other great historians, write factual history books...,
Unruly is at best
overtated and exagarated..., its role in the universe, totally ignorges scotland, wales, ireland or anywhere else in the UK, and gives clueless americans and amateur historians,
a totally bland and stale, even boring version of a well known historical narratives
almost a copy and paste ... that probably dan snow, philppa gregory could do a lot better...
it has historical bias and is opinionated from the first sentence,
the section about poor *so called bloody mary tudor, executing thousands...and praising henry 8th as a great king, without mentioning he executed his close & distant family members must be madness....
@@jardon8636 There is no point responding to your silly comment.
He wasn't the FIRST Stuart, he was the SIXTH - only an English comedian could be so myopic.
Only a scotsman could be so terminally miserable.
@@janpearce1457 only an Englishman would say objection to rewriting of our history is (yet again) not being able to take a joke
David Mitchell just read the script. Don't shoot the messenger!
@@daniellamcgee4251 David knew what he was reading
@@davidlittle7182 he hasn't rewritten history you halfwit. He's just presented an edited version for a specific audience on a specific subject. None of the facts presented are incorrect. Methinks Jimmy has a wee deep fried Mars bar on his shoulder!
THE STUARTS IN 7 MINUTES PRESENTED BY COMEDIAN DAVID MITCHELL HD 1653pm 15.7.24 he's a wit and truly delivers well the academic polemic to a tee. i think the stuarts are a bunch of tossers!!
