do you think it detracts from your admiration of the narrator's annunciation by describing it so unimaginatively as "ridiculous"? could you not pause to think of a more traditional and appropriate adjective ??
@@llwydanwyl I choose my words carefully, thank you. It is ridiculous. Have you ever, in your life, heard someone who talks like this? I think it's marvellous and utterly perfect for these docs. But it is so perfect, it's silly. Ridiculous, in fact. What an odd comment. Traditional?! Away ye go!
Wonderful docco. William suffered from the hunger for power, like other characters before, since and to this day. I don’t really understand it but it’s definitely a part of our makeup.
I think that the fact that he was an "illegitimate" son of the Norman ruler contributed to William's striving for achievement (overachievement) in order to 'more than prove' his 'legitimacy' imo. G Ire
A great deal of European Monarchs are his direct descendants through multiple lines. These include Louis IV, Frederich the Great, Kaiser Wilhelm 1 & 2, Tsar Nicholas II, Franz Ferdinand and all of the British monarchs till date. That's quite a lot for someone who was called a Bastard.
I love to listen to this narrator. As I am not a native speaker could someone tell me what dialect this is? It gives me 5 o'clock tea time with the Queen (or now King of course) and a spritz of scottish vibes.

I'm directly related too this man 😂 from my mom Lynn williamson !and my grandfather Kenny williamson! My mom and grandfather were tall blue eyes and blonde 👱♀️ were I got my blue eyes from this man !!! And I'm related too armada de laVoie of the knights Templar! But I'm American 😅 I'm a living artifact😂 it seems all the royal families fled too the united states becuse of king Gorge 😂
Interesting how his portrait has him with dark hair and eyes, I did some research on William years ago and later was suprised to find out Norman kings had mostly red hair and blue eyes,

Memory UNLOCKED. Speaking of bastard son... I remember my one friend, i had a long time ago, it was in the 2000. He was born outside of marriage, we got in a fight and i called him a bastard, we were both the same age, young adults. I did know of the term but not sure if i knew the details, i dont think i knew it was meant for a son born out of wedlock, i just knew back then for some reason they called some 'astard sons' , i assumed it meant lazy, or good for nothing.. Anyways he ended the friendship over this. I thought it was the most stupidest reason to end it, over an old outdated term of it no one has used in a million yrs.
@@AnnetteMurphyger surely not? It's never used these days with it's original definition in mind. I'm sure most young folk don't even know what it means/meant. Nobody cares any more about a person's parents relationship status. You can only be hurt by words like this if you let it hurt. Don't give other people that power, not for a word they probably don't even know the meaning of!
I bloody love this narrator. His pronunciation is so utterly perfect, it's actually quite ridiculous! Like, nobody talks like this, not irl!
You should check out The People Profiles, this is one of their videos, he is my favourite narrator from their videos
@@abasudoh7459 I've been watching them for years, this dude does nearly all the royal profiles. I'm rewatching this here, because why not? 🙃.

Thanks to DNA testing our family found out we're descendants of William the Conqueror. Maybe we're cousins

Not Scottish. It's a standard English accent called Received Pronunciation or Queen's English (King's now I suppose). In other words, posh.
@@hedgemist691 Thank you!🌻
@@hedgemist691 it's utterly accentless isn't it? Like the dude was reading the BBCs received pronunciation guidelines from the 1950s since birth!
It is "Gibberish"
Many thx for great video 👍
Very well presented

We have those Norman castles in Ireland too.

Had a dream once, that I was one of the sewers of the Bayeux tapestry. I'm not saying it means much. It's just interesting.

We had the Normans in Ireland circa 1169 thanks to Diarmuid McMorrow., a Greedy King.

Another great video today Good information and content smash the like button you filthy animals

In Old English or?
Is the narrator using an archaic pronunciation for "Caen?" My research found it ending in a hard "n," almost rhyming with "flyin'."
When I was there it was 'Cohnh. I think the narrator is spot on.

A different language?
Did they also speak Latin?
Well to be fair, it wasn't William's fault he was born out of wedlock. The word 'Bastard' is totally unacceptable.

I knew Normandy was Northmen, where the red hair orginally came from.
Where did Anglish (later English) go to.

Considering he was illegitimate wouldn't it be
Illegitimate William of Normandy?
People of the north know/knew him as William the Bastard because of what he did rather than his birth.
No, it was Bastard. That's the correct word for the time.

It is still very hurtful to those of us born outside of marriage or wedlock throught no fault of our own
Good for him, shouldn’t have called him a goddamn bastard
