Another fascinating video. This is what I deeply love about England the passage of rites and rituals through the ages. He must have been a remarkable man. Thank you for this.
Marvelous presentation! What a gift that so much contemporary material about (and by) Dunstan survives. I need to start remembering him on a regular basis.
Thank you, it's great to know it's appreciated. If it interests me, I'll happily dive down deep rabbit holes on the subject for hours on end! And it's great to share 😊
I remember quite well that part of the recent coronation where the archbishop exhorted the king to "Stand firm! etc". Prior to that, I had the impression that the king was struggling not to waver under the weight of the crown; to me the face and body of this elderly man, in the many close-ups, showed signs of strain, possibly even pain. But the archbishops's words seemed to make the king immediately straighten a little, and his face showed renewed alertness. The words conveyed the support, it seemed to me, which the king needed at that point in those arduous proceedings, and I bet he was glad to hear them. I didn't know that they were written by St Dunstan , but how fortunate it is that they have been retained all these millenia.
Allan, such a fascinating insight into the life and times of Dunstan. And a clear link to the coronation ritual we have just witnessed. It is so powerful to realise that a prayer composed a thousand years ago is still being recited today. Thank you for your scholarship and research as always.
The name Dunstan is well known to me. That was the name given to the lake created , when the small Central Otago town of Cromwell, where my mother's parents had retired, was partially drowned in order to make more hydroelectricity. I was distressed by this as a child. Living in Dunedin, New Zealand, (colonized by Strict Presbyterian Scots predominantly, my schooling secular and religious did not cover Anglo Saxon times or even Oliver Cromwell's impact on more recent English history. Your fascinating presentation is like an Open University of very high calibre, Allan.
Thank you once again Allan these wonderful videos are so highly informative. They are greatly valued by people like me who reside in the far flung Dominions that share this remarkable heritage.
Dr.Barton as usual you line up all these amazing historical facts - all in a row, not leaving any detail to chance! Thank you ever so much! We're so lucky to have you as our educator!
You continue to outdo yourself! A very interesting and well researched part of English history. It adds greatly to the coronation narrative. Thank you Allan.
Brilliant. Allan you have again chosen to highlight an aspect of the recent Coronation of King Charles lll.. which I really appreciate. And honour the scholarship of both yourself and the creators of our recent Coronation. (Probably Justin Welby but you never know how much King Charles contributed).
I believe that such people probably exist in every generation, but in some periods of history they don't emerge into the public eye, but have quiet existences. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thankyou very much for this and the trouble you take. Early English history has been neglected for many decades now. It's good to understand it in more depth. Really enjoying your content.
St Dunstan was a wonderful man and how fascinating the link to the recent Coronation. Such depth of history is spine tingling stuff. Thanks for sharing your hard work once more. 😊😊😊😊
What a fascinating man and life well lived! I was fortunate enough to visit Glastonbury Abbey in 1989, and your video helped breathe new life into those memories. Thank you, Dr. Barton.
Thank you, what a lovely presentation! I confess, watching as I was in the middle of the night here with merriment rather nearer to hand than the solemnity that was due, that I laughed at that point when the A of C cried, "Stand Firm" when the king was so clearly sitting before him.
@@allanbarton I do have a question or two about Edward V, who I believe is the most compelling example of medieval mystery about him. I was reading an article about him and there was a story about some workmen at St. George's Chapel in 1789 accidentally broke into the vault of Edward IV and found the king and his wife but also two children's coffins. The tomb was inscribed with the names of George, Duke of Bedford and Mary but later their remains were found elsewhere in the chapel. I wonder if these were in fact the missing princes in the Tower. It lists a source from the chapter records of St. George. Did you do a video about this, since I enjoyed your Royal Vault piece. Thanks!
Thank you Allen, absolutely fascinating history and detail. What strikes me is how quickly King's came and went, its hard to keep up, especially with all the Anglo saxon names sounding similar and mostly beginning with E...why was that? Sorry, if its a ridiculous question, but I've often wondered why. Regards Mick
The names begining with E [or rather the now lost letter combining A and E ] were hereditary in that branch of the house of Wessex. There was a branch of the house of Northumbria who had names beginning with Os. The two commonest pre - fixes of the names were Ed [fortunate/rich] and Ethel [noble] rendered Athel in Athelstan but the same pre - fix.

Every generation needs a Dunstan.
I think some Dunstans just never become public figures. They do make the world a better place though, for sure!

Glad you enjoyed the video, a truly remarkable man I think!

He really made history. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I truly appreciate and value the amount of research that culminates in such a supernal coverage of neglected history.

Charles is not a well man. I am surprised he was able to do all of the activities during the coronation week.

I've always found St. Dunstan to be a fascinating figure.
With so many accomplishments to his name!

Wonderful and informative. Lovely to see the ancient parchments and a look into the old rites of Christianity. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
I enjoyed this beautiful video. I'm sure St. Dunstan likes it too, he's given it a heavenly thumbs up, I reckon!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Allan, your lectures are both enlightening and interesting from a historical and religious perspective. Thanks for these info sessions.
Thank you very much, glad you're enjoying them!
Thank you Dr. Barton, this was very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the lesson about St Dunstan, Allan!! I learned a lot about him!! 💗👍❤
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Great people of their era, devoted to God and the common good, seem rather lacking these days! Thank you for another riveting video.
I believe that such people probably exist in every generation, but in some periods of history they don't emerge into the public eye, but have quiet existences. Glad you enjoyed the video!
That was so fascinating, thank you. All so long ago and yet the same today. Wonderful tapestry of life. 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed the video.
This is such a wonderful presentation. Thank you Allan!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, that was really informative and helps explain the blue plaque in Corfe about Edward's murder.

Every Friday you should do a royal rundown on what the king and the rest of the family did that week and news about them.

“Dunstan” by Conn Iggulden is a great read, highly recommended.
I appreciate the hard work you do to produce these videos.

Agreed!!
Depictions of the devil or Satan are really interesting.
