      These are all professional BBC or other production company documentaries uploaded to other channels. It's almost always Dan Jones, Suzannah Lipscomb, Tony Robinson, Mary Beard, Lucy Worsley, Dan Snow, etc. and the couple of groups that do live-in reenactments of the food, clothing, etc.
      They change the title and that's it. I've seen this documentary on maybe 3 or 4 different channels.
      What I mean to say is, the people who put in a lot of money to make this got their money's worth I'm sure and these channels are also reaping the benefits but without investing a penny lol

    It's incredibly fascinating how these old monarchs never could understand that by giving the working class/ peasants better lives, would ultimately lead to a great economy with people that are loyal and ultimately lead to more advances in many things like culture, art, medicine and technology that would have made their countries way stronger than the opresssed countries around them. They would have dominated! Instead they fell and were constantly fighting lol!

      True but it is not always the case, I mean Edward III was pretty young when he inherited the crown and ruled for over 50 years with no rebellions from any of his 5 adult sons and had the country always supporting him, but his success in ruling and being a father inevitably laid the foundation for what would become the War of Roses after he died.

    • @cantbanme792

      there's problems with it, firstly, you usually have a guardian for the child monarch, which in turn can lead to the guardian using their position to rule with the child as the representative of authority. or you can have a child live like a king on theor own amd watch them grow up deciding what's right and wrong for themselves.
      but generally, the bloodline in a monarchy and the existence of a monarch is very important to the structure of feudal society.

    The last line, "anyone with a drop of royal blood can theoretically claim the throne" is just not true. That's not what the Wars of the Roses were about. Henry IV was the son of the third son of Edward III, John of Gaunt. Edward's second son Lionel of Antwerp had no sons, but had a daughter, Philippa. Henry IV and his descendants claimed the throne by Agnatic Descent from Edward III while Philippa's descendants claimed the throne by Primogeniture. These were two specific claims that each had a succession claim to the throne, not just random people with a 'drop of royal blood'. The Wars of the Roses was fought between these two rival succession claims.

    • @michaeldefeo1439
      @michaeldefeo1439 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct but they each had Royal blood and I think the narrator said it that way though bc further in history when Henry Tudor won the throne and ended the Plantagenet Dynasty, it was a huge change in the game, NO ONE expected him to win it bc it was a Huge Longshot and his only claim to the throne was through his mother, who was descended through a bastard line of succession from John of Gaunt, so I think he was more referring to Henry Tudor when he made the comment of a drop of Royal blood.
      However he was wrong when he said that the crown of England passed down legitimately through 8 generations in the Plantagent Dynasty and that Henry Bolingbroke's coronation changed all that. Bc although the crown stayed in the Plantagent Dynasty, IF it passed Legitimately then the 3rd Plantagent King of England would have been King Arthur, the legitimate son of Richard I's younger brother Prince Geoffrey, who was older then their youngest brother, Prince John who became, King John I after Richard I. However after Richard I died Prince John seized the crown and had himself declared King immediately and then captured his nephew, prince Arthur, and most likely had him killed, to get rid of any competition for the crown. And the main difference with this usurpation was King John I managed to steal the crown and get himself crowned King before Prince Arthur could be declared and crowned King, where as when it happened to Richard II, it happened after he was declared and anointed the King and ruled the country for a few years.
      So overall the same thing basically happened before but just under different circumstances.

    Gerardi Italian nobility coat of arms must be changed. It must show all 3 roses: Tudor, Lancaster and York. According to MytrueancestryDNA data, my YDNA line is connected to all 3. Currently, it just has the lancaster rose in the center. Yes, it is a Baronage but our line is from a past carthage Nobility family group to King Hasdrubal the first (500 B.C.). So, it means that only the eldest of the Gerardis will be Baron but my mother's paternal line is Greek nobility from the families of Petrocochino and Mavrocordatos. It opens the possibility of me having "Duke" title because of my mother's lineage. Creating one head of the Gerardi (eldest) with my minor cadet branch from a Baronage. There are no Kingdoms of Naples and Venice. So, I may just restart as genetic Hereditary (Aristocrat) "Duke" with supporting monarchial authority or papal approval.

    Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and through faith in him, we will be saved. I used to think that this was not true but then I went into the history with an open mind, looking for evidence, prohephecy, etc from plenty of sources. (even non Christian ones) Then I figured out that it was true. You are free to research, it's good to be discerning of things. I'll pray that that you will find the truth too. God bless you all.

      I’m just here to remind everyone that the Democrats raised bail funds for the rioters that burned down cities, looted middle class businesses (as well as corporations like target), killed innocent people, physically attacked anyone who disagreed with them, caused BILLIONS in damage and forever altered the lives of millions of people. For. A. Whole. Fuckin. Year. Was what happened Jan 6 wrong? For sure. But I’m here to remind people that when the mob attacks the little guy, the state couldn’t give two shits and will find raise bail money for the mob. But god forbid you or anyone SCARE (let’s be real. Very little of value was lost during that riot) anyone in power and well connected because the state will dedicate unlimited funds/fbi resources to tracking down every single person who entered common areas (and s few offices) of those in power. While leaving the common folk who had their lively hood destroyed by the previous years rioters hanging out to dry to fight their insurance companies who deny their claims because they classify the riots as an act of god.
