The Saxons used the sax as their traditional weapon. The Trombonians and Bassoonites proved to be less successful among the Germanic tribes, and have largely been forgotten by history.
It's a shame really, the trambonians had a really interesting way of electing their new leader which involved blowing trombones into people's ears. It really is an underrated part of German history.
Jotham Bate Pfft. You think thats cool? You all forget the most underrated part of history the election of the Viking Kings. They used electric guitars and had epic heavy metal/black metal battles to see who was the most worthy for the throne of Metalnavia.
Thanks, this is the kind of history which I never found in the history books. What else am I missing?
cfytcf Well have you ever heard of the Chellonians of Ancient Greece? You see they were a very advanced society, and had a advanced law system know as the Chellomonopioplisicupius were many senators would decide the direction their kingdom was going by listening to the soothing sounds of the Chello. The Romans also used this system later on, but the Greeks said they stole their idea. This erupted in the Chello Wars. It lasted from 6 AD to 10 AD and took many lives...
1 lik= on soul loust in da Chello Wars gos 2 rest 👍 😪😭

The “seax” knife
So in summary, britain is like getting three different bags of skittles, pouring them all into a bowl, and then drizzling chocolate on them.
Oh and the chocolate is a mixture of light and dark chocolate.
Pretty much, it's an interesting mess hahaha xD
wut?
No as celtic DNA is still majority, 70% - which aint mentioned in the crappy vid.
VC YT And it isn't Celtic DNA, it's Basque. The Basques emigrated into the British Isles around 4500 to 5000 years ago at the transition between the Neolithic and Copper Ages, while the Celts were Early Iron Age invaders from Central Europe who subjugated the Basques and imposed their language and culture.. Irish legends even allude to this in stories about the Tuatha te Danaan being an earlier people than the Celts.
One of the topics I know very little about. Thanks. :-)
Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could introduce you to it!
you guys should do a colab you both make awesome videos!
@@brettalizer3271 So true.
I'm from Brazil and for some reason I've been studying ancient british and scottish history for several years. I found your video phantastic! A great sum up of this ages, i loved the drawnings!
Your problem with the Heptarchy came from forgetting Sussex. It was one of the earliest kingdoms founded, and Bede lists its founder Ælle as the first Bretwalda. But as the invaders advanced and founded Wessex, Essex, and other realms that became incorporated into Mercia, Sussex lost power and influence.
William Cooke yeah, forgetting Sussex triggered me a bit there. This video has quite a few obvious flaws,
Nobody gives a fuck about Sussex
PiousMoltar Sussex is great. Only one of the most famous battles in history took place there.
I'm glad you're covering this period. I have a massive fascination for post-Roman Britain.
All societies are Semen based society
whats long and hard and full of semen??
a submarine!!!
raidermax23 my penis
Damn it, you beat me to it. I was going to say the same thing
Yes even ones with a "SPACE FORCE".🙄
These crude visuals actually work really well! :D
Thanks xD!
Crude facts also, as much lies are present.
VC YT Thank you UK ass for bringing us another fact.
Oh wow, TH-cam actually recommended a new channel that I'd actually be interested in! Subscribed! I wish this happened more often! I look forward to checking out your other stuff.
Awesome! I'm glad it sent you here, welcome to the channel!
Then unsub as his words are lies.
I only get recomended rusian videos and other countries when im from romania and live in germany now and dont get recomended a german video
@verdatum This is my very first History with Hilbert Video indeed! And YT recommended it to me as well!
Amazing video as always. Just wanted to add though that the Heptarchy included the kingdoms of Essex and Sussex as well as East Anglia, Wessex, Mercia, Kent and Northumbria.
Anglo-Saxon had a lot of sex, one for each direction except north, probably because they didn't want to name the land Norsex as that would sound like no sex.
so did the Dal Riadans. I mean, they were a seamen based society
As a long time pre-gunpowder Anglo/Celtophile. I want to thank you for concisely casting much light on what has indeed been a very dark muddled period in the history of the British Isles.
If you divide Northumbria into Deira and Bernicia, you still only have six kingdoms Hilbert. You have forgotten how to do math, again. :P
@Nelson Robert Willis I Thought It Was Called Lindesege.
I caught that. I suspect that perhaps Hilbert has a very dry sense of humour.
lol you're killing me with these puns
Cheers man, glad they weren't all too cringe :P
@The Modern Hermeticist & History With Hilbert, Not just the puns but with the memes for me lmao.
Cheeky remarks, witty puns, thoughtful references. And a good narration of interesting events.
You've got a good formula there, Hilbert. Keep it up.
Glad I got this in my recommendations!
Dark Age British Politics? Are you talking about the current state of affairs? I thought this was a History channel! ;-)
Hehehe :P Not much has changed in 1,500 years really has it :P
Yes British people are becoming literally dark
Hahahahahaha that made me laugh ^
Phrenomythic What do you mean?
That comment was soo cheeky i think i might have busted a couple nuts
Brilliant video: clear, informative, engaging and well illustrated! Thank you for all of your effort creating it!
This is some quality work my dude I just subscribed
Invaluable video. I don't see many videos on this topic.
One thing to remember, however, is despite the fact that there was a distinct Irish tradition of Christianity that developed in Ireland, it was actually always in union with Rome and was understood by all to be 'one church' rather than two. There was a bit of local practice but this often exists within eastern local churches that areceithee in union with Rome or with Constantinople
I appreciate all the hard work you put into your research, however I also GREATLY appreciate the effort of your puns.
6:51 You've still forgotten how to count. Even when splitting up Northumbria you only get six kingdoms:
1. Wessex
2. Kent
3. Mercia
4. East Anglia
5. Bernicia
6. Daria
The real heptarchy are:
East Anglia
Mercia
Northumbria
Wessex
Essex
Kent
Sussex
I love your channel and have learned a lot watching your videos. Have you considered making a video dedicated to the Dacians and the history surrounding them? I think it would interest a lot of people.
Keep up the amazing work.
Cheers!
Brilliant vid! Thanks for taking the time.
Please continue, good pacing and just the right amount of detail.
Very cool work. I really enjoyed this and would love to see a continuance of this forward
As a Kentish guy, that "Kent get enough of your land" had me in stitches. God tier puns
It's worth mentioning that Hengist and Horsa are most likely mythological figures, relating the to horse-based twins that are common in Indo-European religions. Twin founders of races/countries are common as well. The overall idea of what happened is probably accurate but it's muddied by mythological ethnic origin stories.
Clear, concise and interesting as per usual. well done mate.
Learning new knowledge from your videos! I need to watch this again and again to retain MOST of the information.
Amazing video. And this is just the first one I've found. Upvoted, favorited, subscribed, bell-clicky-iconned.
7:00 You're missing Essex and Sussex, not the Northumbrian Kingdoms
I really enjoyed this video and I just recently subscribed. I like the mustache on the Picts and Celts. I really like this channel cheers👍!
Good stuff and setup for the Viking Era that was to follow; the graphics helped things along, too.
great vid, keep up the good work. animation was great and commentary was awesome :)
Awesome, thanks for the feedback my man!
If you divide Northumbria into two kingdoms you get 6 kingdoms not 7...
He's still bad at Maths, it would seem.
my understanding is that the heptarchy is actually the 5 he mentioned + Essex + Sussex
+ Essex
No, he said at the south of the kingdom there could be two other kingdoms depending at the time. Nothumbra+The two other kingdons+4 more=7
Natorin, you're an idiot
And that's also were us Aussies get the saying "Sick Kent'.
love the vids and the art
Doing a crash course in the history of Britain in preparation for Thrones of Britain TW game coming out next year. A very informative and entertaining group of videos.
Very cool video, I enjoyed this History with Hilbert!
Northworthy Sagas & Stories is
A channel dedicated to telling the stories of the Viking Sagas and Anglo-Saxons tales as well as folklore.
awesome video, I always wondered about early British politics
yes! Saxons! excellent video , this must have taken ages!!
would have liked to hear you go over the crucial battle of Deorham (Dyrham -nr Bath) where Glevum, Corinium and Aquae Sulis were taken by the Gerwisse and the 3 Brythonic kings were killed. It must have been an epic battle and was decisive, after losing this strategically Important area the Romano-British were doomed, and also this is when the ethnic separation of Wales and Dumnonia occurred, and apparently also when the Cornish and Welsh languages began to diverge and become distinctly different.
regardless of all that I very much enjoyed this wide-ranging and incredibly detailed video. thanks very much
+Ceawlin of Wessex Ah yes there was so much I wanted to go into detail about but didn't have time for, like the Northumbrian-Mercian Wars and a more in depth look at the conquest of the British kingdoms within England. The video did actually take me a very long time but it's worth it when I get comments like yours, thank you for all the support!
History With Hilbert no problem, I love the scope of this channel but Dark Ages/ migration period is my favourite, and you cover it so well. Pronunciation definitely warrants a mention, it's excellent.
Hopefully you'll revisit this again, a video about specific battles during the conquest would be great; sources allowing of course. And as ever, more Gerwisse please as we all know they are the best ;)
this is a great lesson on such an interesting topic. I really enjoyed that one.
thanks for the effort!
p.s.: youtube suggested that to me from a 'baz battles' video.
This was good, but I wish you structured it better so we’d know when one arc ends and another begins. Otherwise, I’d know which were minor details that led to major details, and which were major details.
Please keep up the good work.
Kudos to Wales man. Proud of my country staving of countless invasions, and to this day, maintain genetically the most native to the UK. True Britons.
Excellent video ..putting out some really good content
History makes me feel all warm and,oh wow!! This is exciting!!
The wall bit in the beginning is effen brilliant
Wonderful commendable work. Was going to ask for a Danelaw follow up and found it in your 1066 video. Bless.
I really like the changes in art and the focus on an single indepth topic.
mikeli0023 Awesome, thanks for the feedback!!
Though he's got much WRONG here.
Enlighten me then
Neat little video I really enjoyed this! Great work!
Also subscribed!
Really interesting. Great explanation!
This was delightful! It's so hard to learn anything about this period of and place in history.
Thanks. I enjoy your talks.
So much history going on in a relatively small part of the world. Amazing.
Love your vids, very informative! They should show these in schools here in the UK. One tiny tiny gripe, and I appologise for being so pedantic, but Dyfed is pronounced 'Duh ved'. Your Welsh is pretty damn good otherwise fair play to you!
This is my first History with Hilbert video!!
Hilbert: 'Today's Britain is three countries, England Wales and Scotland '
Northern Ireland: *Sad Loyalist Noises*
Poor wales as well
Britain or 'Great Britain' is a geographical term that usually refers to the mainland/largest island in the British Isles.
Northern Ireland is is the UK, but not Britain
first time watching one of your vids....very well done
I love your videos dude keep it up! Also what mic do you use? Thanks!
Great vid, just a tip on the welsh, as it is a single d at the end of dyfed, it is pronounced like an english 'd', as apposed to the name Dafydd, which is pronounced like a 'th', also in north wales the -dd is pronounced more like a -v than a -th, once again great vid, keep up the good work!
Love this😂 so perfect and funny are the explanations
I just discovered your channel and your videos are quite informative! Could you maybe do a video about about the area of Switzerland before Switzerland existed?
See "Switzerland - From Earliest Times To The Roman Conquest" Marc Sauter; Thames & Hudson, 1976.
That was so feckin informative, bedankt gozer. Can you make a video on the unifications of the various polities of the British later on in the early Middle Ages? Maybe up to like the Norman conquests? Also some historiography would be cool too!
YOU PUT THE WALL MEME IN THE VIDEO!! lol
Aye xD #NoHadrianNoSPQRNoExpansionistEmpire
Wow, how have I not found this channel sooner? Sub! =)
Also: suddenly the inspiration behind westeros became quite clear =P
Good video. Very interesting stuff, Thanks.
I, being a world history knowledge enthusiast, appreciate your very detailed narration of the facts. Thanks! 😊🌎🎓
thanks youtube algorythm! subscribed :P.
Question: will you do one about the danes invading britain?
playing ck2 gives you some sort of understanding of the dark ages
Would you consider making an in-depth video on the life of Penda?
Seems like it would be a fascinating topic
Good unbiased research! I like it!
Awesome video, thanks!
Interesting vid - can you give some references and citations for how you formed your version of history? A lot of these points are contentious and need backing up with some sources.
BTW - you missed out Glamorgan/Morganwg from the British Kingdoms - a bit of an oversight as this was the prime kingdom and is where the capital was! LOL
Do, A Guide to Dark Age Scandinavian Politics next please! Love you videos
Really interesting and well presented. Post Roman to the Norman Conquest is a rich history period
Thanks, That incredibly informative ..
My favourite to date. Sterling work.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
If your other videos are this good, then you have a new subscriber.
As far as I know the Heptarchy was the 5 you mentioned: Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Kent and Wessex; along with Essex and Sussex
Guffa95 This issue bugs me about this video...
New subscribe. Great stuff
I knew a little less than half of the story, I've heard of Bede and Gildas, but haven't seen much of their work. Thanks!!!
I mean, I knew a lot of the terms you were using, just not as much subject matter, but I'm an aspiring historian...
(Still have to pass general subjects in college, etc.)
Thank you so much. As an American with very deep British lines of descent, I really appreciate your work.
Hey Hilbert.
You often say in your videos that the name of the Saxons derives from the name of one of theire common weapons named sax.
A feeling tells me that it might be the other way around like it is for example with the gladiator class of the Thrax using the typical equipment of thracians in the mind of the romans, so the sax is called like this because of the Saxons often using them.
So where do we know these things from and if we can just hypothesize how do we conclude which theory is more probable?
Greetings from one of your new subscribers sent by Shad.
Love your content,
Quite enjoyable, and filled in lots of gaps. Ta
Having played more games of CK2 in Britan than I care to count, I could actualy follow this pretty well
20:00 that looks like an amazingly cool helmet.
Hi Hilbert! I dont know if you remember me... but anyway I have some ideas about dark age northumbrian danish/frisian settlements in regards to place names, and old english. Would old english at the 7th century be calling certain places "danish" ? (IE a place perhaps Bede had no other name for? )
omg, those auto generated subtitles are so much better than they used to be, amazing
Using that Historia Civilis music. I love you Hilbert
Love ur art gore 👌👌👌👌
great vid!!!
Game of Thrones politics, more like.
Great video, thank you.
Really great video.
Realizing that the vehicle was complete fiction may I ask for historical clarification?
During the movie "The Lion In Winter" in a reflective soliloquy Peter O'Toole bemoaning his unhappy situation says...
"Henry FitzEmpress, first Plantagenet. A king at 21"etc... Would you please explain the FitzEmpress reference? And how or why Plantagenet?
Thank you.
Really curious about the white horse (Invicta?) on green background. White and green colours seem pretty common in Kent, is there a reason or meaning behind them? My Kent based reenactment group also uses these colours: Øst Centingas
WE WILL BUILD A GRAND WALL AND THE PICTS ARE GONNA PAY FOR IT NO ONE BUILDS WALLS GREATER THEN ME. GRAB EM BY THE STRONG HOLD. THE PICTS HAVE BECOME AN EPIDEMIC.
Nutium Falsum
lol
quite true though.
lol
You forgot one thing in your mockery, Hadrian's Wall worked. From 122 AD to about 400 AD the Romans controlled migration and trade in Roman Britain for 278 years, longer than the US has been in existence .
