This was posted today yet it says 5 days ago. You bending time Simon?
Of the many Simon's we know exist, which Simon will be triumphant in claiming the title 'king of TH-cam'?
EDWARD the 3rd! EDWARD the Black Prince! William the Conqueror! Henry the 5th and above even all of those CHARLES the 2nd Merry Monarch!
I jumped into this comment section faster than Frederick Barbarossa jumped into the Saleph river
That's a big oooof
@Canuck Crusader Dudes a bloody mary garnish now sorry man :(
@Canuck Crusader beat me to it.
This is possibly the only youTube comment that has made me laugh so hard i snorted. Cheers on you my guy.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!! bruh!!!
What I love is the lack of opinion. Can’t find interesting orators who can detail someone’s life and be factual without including opinions
Yeh it’s incredible because it’s not just a mono tone either making it truly interesting I love it 🥰
Interesting, I'm half way through and I think it sounds very negative to Richard
Kw3sToNe at least it’s factually negative tho there’s no opinion to it as such it’s just what happened how it happened that’s what’s he tries anyways
Are you being sarcastic?
@@tylerdurden4080 no? Lol
The younger Henry being described as giving "no evidence of political sagacity, military skill, or even ordinary intelligence." is a total read, delivered expertly by Simon.
I was quite surprised to read the glowing depictions of Richard written by *Saladin's* servant. It appeared to me that by the time he was on Crusade he was very respected by his contemporaries and even some of his enemies. A Commander who truly lead from the front.
Thank heavens we are over the attitude where we admire people who go round murdering one another all the time. Far too much unnecessary suffering.

The peasants in Disney's Robin Hood: Just you wait till Good King Richard returns.
Prince John: Trust me he doesn't care.
I cannot help but feel pity for king john. Ruling a Kingdom exausted by his brother wars and then be vilified for centuries while richard is portrayed as a "hero"
Richard might have been a dick, but John was a complete arsehole. He may have signed the magna carta, but only under duress, and then hired an army of mercenaries, because his own men refused to support him, and tried to kill every noble that also signed it. And, although there's no hard evidence to prove that John was responsible, Johns nephew, I forget his name would need to Google, who was the actual successor to the throne after Richard, died after having his balls cut off and his tongue cut out, and succumbed to his wounds.
Most of the plantagenets were shits.
i am befuddled that there was no mention of Robin Hood at all here, although he spent a night dancing with the Merry Men and eating mutton. also neglected is that Maid Marian was elected Queen of France,
@@billythepigeon7345 you could argue their dynasty help to unite and guide England as a united powerhouse of the nation. to draw a comparison; there's no doubt the world wars led to amazing technology, knowledge growth and better living for many people. does this make the means worth the outcome? that's an interesting debate to be had my sir

17:19 As Philip fell ill, he decided to return home after the fall of Acre.
17:33 Saleph River in modern-day Turkey.

I'm glad you mentioned the spat between Richard and Leopold twice, I might have forgotten otherwise 😂 wonderful video!
Wow...buddy.
Mr. Whistler, you are a master of bringing complex historical events in a clear and easily understandable manner, well done.
I really appreciate the ad symbol in the bottom corner. Was gonna skip but saw how respectful that was to your viewers and sat through the ad.
I'm always so happy when I see new videos from Biographics and Geographics. I listen to all the channels Simon hosts during work, I love all of them, but my favorites are all the newest ones with the least videos. Oh well, glad theres a new video again!
Richard was clearly a Lionheart even before the crusades with how he managed to defeat so many rebelling lords, even one with an impregnable fortress via a very dangerous stunt using himself as bait.
I’m so happy I found this channel. Amazing work.
I remember how much I loved the film The Lion in Winter; I don't know how accurate it was but it was exceedingly well written insofar as dialogue goes, and beautifully well acted.
Richard the Lionheart is the TRUE depiction of courage and GREATNESS. Long live King Richard!
Im no crazy leftie, but his treatment of women hit me wrong. I like being proud and strong, but abusing women is, even in our enlightened society, somewhat frowned upon. Never thought i would be here, i have trucked and f-ed, but don't throw a woman to the wolves. I know how unbearable they can be, but dignity should be given freely if you desire any for yourself.
Yes he was, even though he hated being in England. He considered England as a primitive backwater with nothing to do for a hot blooded warrior who craved adventure and conquest.
“We, however, place the love of God and His honour above our own and above the acquisition of many regions”

Thanks Simon and team! Another great video. Keep up the great work!
Richard, an "English" king who could only speak French
@Belagerungsmörser the Sheep he spoke French with the King of France and all French nobles could speak French. And the capital of the Angevin Empire was in Anjou where people spoke French and Poitevin. Poitevin was by the way the language of his mother Eleanor. He never spoke English for sure.
French was the language of the nobility, early English was only spoken by the peasants
I'm pretty sure Henry V was the first to speak it as his native language.
Yes but whats your point?
@@georgeprchal3924 it was his father, Henry IV. Henry IV was born Henry Bolingbroke in England spent most of his time in Lincolnshire. While he was a member of the Plantagenet line, he was not in line to inherit. Instead, he usurped the throne and forced Richard II to abdicate. While he most certainly spoke French, historians generally acknowledge he was the first English king to have English as his first language.
A great movie about the dysfunctional family dynamics Henry 2, his wife and sons is "The Lion In Winter".
"Pustule!?!"
Phenomenal movie. Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Hopkins,Timothy Dalton. Cant get better than that
"It's Christmas! What shall we hang? The holly, or each other?"
Good Christmas movie.
Probably most of the commenters are too young to know of it, but it is an old movie that is well worth seeing. I was surprised to see that Eleanor of Aquitaine didn't look much like Katherine Hepburn.
You really should do a video on Eleanor of Aquitaine. The Devil's Brood and most of the royals of Europe would not have existed without her.
"Come, Loxley. Let us go and see if we can find an honest man."
All your Biographics are amazing, my wife and I look forward to them nightly and would rather watch your channel than any “Netflix and chill” show. Themistocles and the battle of Salamis has always been a fascination of mine. I’d love to see a episode on him.
All my knowledge of Richard the Lionheart prior to this video came from Disney's 'Robin Hood' so fascinating to learn the real story.
Me too.. lol
Watch the 1938 Warner Bros version of Robin Hood, it shows more of Richard and more of the context of the story. My parents introduced it to me several years after I saw the Disney version, and I now think it's far superior (Errol Flynn's performance as the famous vigilante is one of the best I've ever seen)

@Jeremy Brookes I know! Is he awesome!?
@@WilliamGagastathis I just read the book "The greatest knight" great read about William the Marshall.
Yay, requested this a few months back
Regardless of the reasons he betrayed his father twice and he shouldn't have even been King but was. Had Henry the second favorite son John been King, I don't know if he would have been a decent ruler because he was so young and never raised to rule. At least John would have had a better heart.
Wow... I never knew King Richard the Lionheart was such a jerk. All I've ever heard of him was his success in the Third Crusade, against the "unbeatable" Saladin, and his role in the mythos of "Robin Hood." In both accounts, King Richard is almost universally hailed as a heroic figure, while his brother, John, is just a two-bit schmuck in most versions of Robin Hood's story.
Because of this one-sided interpretation of Richard through mass media, I grew up, and really came of age, thinking King Richard was truly one of the great kings of England. But after today, I feel I have to come down off of that ledge a little bit. Richard may not have been an evil sort of person, but he was definitely a "dick" to most of his peers whenever they pissed him off (which seemed to happen quite frequently).
Seems like the typical "Alpha Male" of human history: A fantastic warrior. A brutally strong ruler. Almost super-humanly brilliant... But insanely hard to get along with, even if you were family of his. Not saying he "deserved" to die, but... he may have earned his untimely end through his lifetime of bullying others.

One of Richard's friends said he was "a bad man, a worse husband and a terrible king."

How's about the Marquis de Sade.
Mr.whistler Id like to state I know your not on the academic board of members but, you have been able to teach me far more then anyone else.
Aquitaine wasn't an "english possession", it was one of the titles of Richard but it was a personal union. Otherwise, by your logic it would be england that would be a "french" possession, while in fact England and France remained the same during all that period and were administrated separately.
Aquitaine was simply a Plantagenet/Angevin possession, as were England, Anjoux (origin of the dynasty), Normandy etc... at best you could say it was "the king of England's possession", but it'd still really give the wrong idea.

Simon, I am really surprised that you didn't mention that this was the period of the "Robin Hood" mythology. While Richard was away in the first Crusade and John took over the kingdom, it's when the story of "Robin Hood" allegedly took place.
While Historians have not found any proof of an "Robin Hood", it is worth at least mentioning, when speaking about this time period.
Simon’s delivery is always just.... 😗👌
you forgot just one last piece of info, the boy who shot Richard was later rearrested by a mercenary captain of king Richard, his name was Mercadier, He and his group of mercenaries flayed the boy's skin alive and then hanged him.
These biographies are really great if you ever consider doing one of the history of Doctor Who I would like to see please more authors please
How about leper king Baldwin IV?
This guy has quite the story behind him. I'm glad I was dressed up as him for Halloween a few years ago
you may have look scary for the Heathens bro
Such an interesting period of English history... With such great monarchs. Empress Matilda, Henry ii, Queen Eleanor, the Lionheart, and oh, John...🙄😒
Where's my boy king Stephen?
Aside from Henry II they were all terrible Kings. And I say Henry because he managed to create several improtant office and brought peace to England
Facundo Gonza Speak for yourself. Lionheart was a good king who fought back valiantly against the muslims
@@larochejaquelein3680, just because a king is a good soldier, that doesn't mean he is a good king.
Alexander the great spent too much time conquering and too little time consolidating said land.
@@larochejaquelein3680 Will taxing England to the bone, stripping it of its men. And being generally uncaring for it. The video said it itself. He was so hungry for war that he drove his country to the ground
Perfect follow up to overly sarcastic productions: Robin Hood
Can just say, it was not unusual for Kings to crown their sons as kings of wherever before their fathers died at this time. It essentially tied their heirs to their fathers so that there was less chaos when the father died. Charlemagne had set this precedent when with Louis the pious and it wasn’t unheard of for a few centuries after for kings to anoint their sons before their own deaths
For example, Cnut and Harthacnut: it’s just what you did
"he gave the boy 100 shillings for shooting him in the shoulder with a crossbow"
So Richard the Lionheart was literally a Crusades-era George S. Patton(spent most of his time at war, speaking his mind got him in trouble, and got struck down by the cheapest of blows). Interesting....
I can impress all of my friends and family with fun facts about Richard the lionheart now. Thanks Simon & friends.
I cant believe he lost to a salid in a fight.
Salad* lol
You could say... that the salad tossed him.
"More on them in a bit." Translation: "Expect multiple interruptions."
Would love a Biographics on Chief Osceola and the 2nd Seminole War
how many commercials is youtube throwing on these videos now....
The criticism directed at Richard I for spending extended periods of time in France is unwarranted. The Angevin kings were not exclusively the kings of England, they regarded England as a possession of a larger continental empire, they ruled from Anjou not London, they spoke French, they were French, it was natural they they would reside in France. Richard is even buried there
AlsoEngland was in financial debt which was why he was invading France so yup its a bit bias to say that he spent most of time in France just because.
Eleanor of Aquitaine's biography is fascinating. Hope you do it some day.
Thanks for the blue coffee mug icon during the ad so its easy to see how much I need to skip :D
A formidable opponent.
I like the Fate series version of Richard, they play up how he is a glorious lunatic that tries to be King Arthur.
It has been said that Richard didn’t love England enough and John loved it too much. Richard, I think, almost bankrupted to pay for his crusades.
John didn't love England, he loved the power and wealth it could have given him, like most of our monarchs of the period. Anything they did that benefitted the English people was only done to avoid rebellion, and even then, they only needed to please the nobility. Not much has changed tbh.
But what did he bankrupt, England or his other lands? both ? If I'm not wrong, his more populated french lands earned him more cash, so he was probably bleeding those lands too, despite prefering the french part of his holdings.
Because he was captured not because of the Crusades the ransom of King Richard was so high that Englands GDP can't handle it which was why he was invading France before his death.
The Crusades made him money if anything as he was the one that made the King of Jerusalem and Cyprus the King.
Simon is the best part of TH-cam!
We're lucky to have people like Richard the Lionheart.
Can we have Biographics: Cthulhu?
Vincent Malab they made one last year I believe? Should be in the royalty or women section :)
18:06 this dejavu reminds me of Tommy Two Time from Goodfellas.... "I'm going to go get the papers.... get the papers."
This is so weird. I was watching documentaries about Richard the Lionheart Monday and yesterday, then you drop this video. Crazy.
So was I.
Richard I is proof that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Welcome back to biography with babish
Hey Biographics! Michael here
this is my area of interest.
So....that Kingdom of Heaven movie with Orlando Bloom's sorry ass wasn't totally accurate? Friggin Hollywood.
What did Orlando Bloom ever do to you?
Silmarrillion123, both saladin and richard occasionally did some things that, by modern standards, are barbaric
@Silmarrillion123 dude religion has always destroyed things of opposing beliefs, Christians have done the same.
@Silmarrillion123 are you saying they haven't?
@Sham Mafia many people say its a bad movie, but i really loved it
This channel is excellent thank you TH-cam
We need a Frederick Barbarossa Biographic now
You claimed you would be including a link to the Saladin video but I don’t see it.
lol. promises are cheap! Take that as a lesson.
He often “forgets” to provide links
Great channel
Nice job on this one! How about one on Doc Holliday or Jesse James?
Do one on Thaddeus Stevens. He is a largely forgotten American Politician who was instrumental in ending slavery in th US and ensuring rights for former slaves.
Can we get one on a relatively obscure character of WW2, Gus March Phillips DSO MBE? He's a pretty interesting character that performed one of the most interesting and mildly amusing raids in early ww2
Nice video, been waiting for one on Augustus/Octavian.
we traced one of my relatives back to 1066 as a baron of richards
From 1062 to 1068 being one the barron of Richard mean ones of the men's who please the king sexually fact
I think Richard lived 100 years later.🤔
That's nothing. My family tree goes all the way back to Adam and Eve.

i heard your not even human you were hatched like a dinosaur
@chronoss chiron 1066? Richard the first was king from 1189 to 1199.
