- Petworth House was home to a patron of the arts and close friend of landscape Artist JM Turner. His two passions were art and women. Set in beautifully designed grounds and owned by the art-loving third Earl of Egremont, Petworth was the inspiration for many famous painters.

This show makes me want to see this great mansion. The announcer looks like he had a wonderful time in this place.
The presenter was a little bit too giddy... It was distracting. But the information was all really good!
11:14 I love this man's enthusiasm when he asks to take a look. "Secret places!" It's exactly how I'd react. 😆
I detect a bit of overacting on his part LOL
This guy was Georgian/Regency...not Victorian. He died about 5 months after Victoria became Queen.
And he was deep in his 80s at the time.
Yes, noticed that as well.
Thank you for pointing that out. I was looking at the dress and it suddenly noticed they they were in no way “ Victorian” .
How does a history group make such a obvious mistake? It makes me question their knowledge and care.
I love this. The guy narrating the story is absolutely awesome.
Lol how has this story not become a movie? It sounds like it'd be fun to watch

They are too busy making the 18th adaptation of Dickens, Austen, Shakespeare, or Batman.
There is a brief sequence set at Petworth in Mike Leigh's 2014 J. M. W. Turner biopic 'Mr. Turner'.
It is really amazing to see so many people this excited about art and this history behind it. Thank you so much for showing it to us, definitely one of my favorite episodes ❤️
William Morris, 1st Viscount Nuffield was an extraordinary person, clearly. He knew what was important.
Wm Morris did have a dark side. he financially supported the British Fascists (Oswald Moseley's Party) and was an anti-semite.
The third Earl was NOT a Victorian, dying in the year that Victoria became queen, 1837. He was a Georgian, born (probably) in the early reign of George the Third.
He was born in 1751, in the reign of George II. It could be correctly stated that the Earl died a Victorian (as a subject of Queen Victoria), but it is true that 'Victorian' would not describe his status for the bulk of his life.
I always love how excited he gets, like a little boy. I can't help but get excited right along with him
Excellent documentary. On the whole, I'd rather have learned more about Morris and about the residents of A La Ronde, and less about the Third Earl of Petworth, but this was a well-structured and thematically very appropriate documentary. Thank you for posting it.
Absolute History is working that algorithm with the title
When you want to emulate Gengis Khan but you're a British...
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏💯

Underrated comment! Bravo! 👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love and so look forward to these episodes. Now add Sir Tony Robinson and it would be perfect
Nick Cannon's ancestor I bet.
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this video. Was disgusting and irresponsible behaviour then and continues to be disgusting and irresponsible. I don’t understand what women would consider breeding with these nasty men. Probably women with no sense of self worth.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember my mom had a Morris Minor when I was a kid.
What a glorious home & fabulous art collection! Absolutely beautiful! He may have been a libertine, but My God, he had EXCELLENT taste! 🥰
Why were a lot of the country houses just “stuck out” in the middle is a flat piece of the land, no gardens or trees, or landscaping surrounding the house? The gardens were set off away from the house.
That's traditional English landscape gardening as pioneered by the likes of Capability Brown in the mid-1700s. A big slab of flat land covered in verdant grasses surrounding the main house, and then long, wide, uninterrupted vistas of more grassy knolls and carefully planted and pruned trees to make it look like "nature." Once in a while you get a large water feature, like a pond or small lake, and a "folly" or two. (Follies were artificial ruins to add character to the landscape). This was all a rebellion from formal French and Italian gardens, which were very rectangular, with highly clipped ornamental plants and extremely controlled features, like square ponds and ruler-straight trees.
Morris sounds like an amazing person. I wonder what he was like in person.
I love history 😃👍🏽
Happy New Year! This was brilliant. Thanks AH. ❤😂🍾🥂🌟
Absolutely precious 🥰
History shows who we are and that we've always been that way.
The title is wrong. The man lived mainly in the Georgian and Regency era. Please change the title?
It could be accurately stated that the Earl was a Victorian for the last few months of his life, dying within the first year of Queen Victoria's reign. But I agree, it would be preferable to refer to him, certainly within the context of this presentation, as a Georgian aristocrat.
Great video!
I'm sorry but these men r all monsters if u show them without show blinders
Well..... Saucy does make justice to this guy
Nick Cannon's been REAL quiet since this came out...
LOL!
Genghis Khan: Hold my falcon
I love these stories and I find them so fascinating. Did the artist known as Prince stayed there? I kidding!
Ha ha that looks nothing like the shell grotto on Isola Bella! I can see the island from my home and have been there innumerable times.
Jane and mary were definitely not just cousins, they were "very close friends and roomates"
It has happened in Africa severally and without a great house. People even have a church, a school to hold their children.
Interesting
Isn't this the place that was fixed up maybe 10-15 yrs ago .
The code isn’t valid for HH 😢
Turner would have sat on the shore to sketch
Yeah this guy is a stud and all, but have you heard of Augustus II of Poland?
This guy would’ve made a great GOP candidate.
Or a Democrat
@@kennethbrooks1134 a democrat if he had a household of children as his mistresses.
@@yankeetherebel you obviously haven’t studied history much have you? Not trying to argue, just making an observation from your emotional knee jerk reaction. If you are well studied in history, I would suggest that you go back and look at which Party was more likely to put their wicks in more than one oil reservoir. I will concede that it occurs in both Parties. I would also suggest that you go back and look at Regional and local incidents as well as the accepted cultural norms of the time
For sure he's a little bit overexcited..
@@kennethbrooks1134 "if you were well studied in history" is something that only someone who has no clue what they're talking about would say. Unlike you, I would never make such an outlandish claim. No, I'm not a "history expert", no one is, because it's far too broad a topic and the records for most of it is far too limited. However I am very well educated in US history, particularly of the 18th and 19th centuries. Considering the current system of our two main political parties has only existed since the 1850s, how far back are you referring to? Oh you don't know do you, because you're just tossing out a word salad in hopes that you won't get called on it.
no body asks the question as to how these lords and ladies amazed such insane amount of wealth.What was behind their POMP....I think that should be the most relevant question now!!!
Sure. You go time traveling and determine the guilt of people so you can feel superior to anyone that fails to meet your criteria. But remember, another generation is just waiting in the wings to criticize you!
HuuuuuuuGeLy Famous In His Life Time ! For Now He Is DangerouslyLy FOuR GoTteN ! I Like These Line Voilà !
Can his decendants be found today?
@6:44 🐕
Sauce! 😁
Ok, this could not be a Victorian aristocrat. Queen Victoria wasn’t even born yet. This was an 18th century man!
One of us in the comments might even be one of his descendants... Dun, dun dun.
Can we not put these men in pedestals anymore!?!?
Poor thing. It seems you got triggered seeing someone else being prosperous and generous while living their life. Go back to your hovel.
@@emmabovary1228he was a rapist, but maybe youre one of those females who loves criminals and being treated badly
Dude had a problem. How many of the kids he fathered did he support? Not like he didn't have the money.
How many he fathered were rxpe babies also
Aristocrats should go to make soylent green.
You think they would make great soap?
Beautiful art!!! I hope when they loan them out the psycho environmentalists whacko don't ruin them with their stupidity.
so boring!
Don’t watch then.
