Another brilliant episode. I remember studying this at school. You not only refreshed my memory but I learned something new and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks guys.
I’m fascinated to know if you’ll cover King Christian IX of Denmark, “the Father-in-Law of Europe”, where the monarchs of Denmark, Norway, Spain, Russia, England, Greece, Romania, Belgium, and Luxembourg were all related to him. That and he was very close to marrying Queen Victoria.
Another brilliant entry in your unmatched series of video biographies. I eagerly await each new episode in the British Monarch’s series. George II is next.
I really like the manner in which the story is narrated, perfect intonations and voice tone. About the good old George I , I should say the more I get to know more fascinating I find it. I'm beginning to think that I might actually be a dull fella myself since I like it ))
As always a great video however I really wish you’d include more simulated maps so that we can picture all of the locations, areas, lands, etc. apart from this thanks for the video.
This Is A Fascinating Video. It Gives Details Of George I's Relationships With The Various Royal Families Including The Stuarts,His Involvement In European Politics And Wars And His Policies As King Of Great Britain. And The First Jacobite Rebellion,Led By Queen Anne's Half Brother James Francis Edward Stuart Was Put Down, And George's Reign Was Relatively Peaceful!!! And Musicians Such As Georg Friedrich Handel Composed Eloquent Church Music.
I'm so happy to see this! I looked through ur whole playlist and others but couldn't find anything on him! What perked my intrest was the 5th pirate's of the Caribbean n i realized i knew nothing of the man...
You know, i still wish that his grandson Frederick actually ended up ruling Britain. That name would have been a great name to show that they were Germans. RIP to best Prince of Wales.
@@mertcanozkan7891 Prince Frederick didn’t get along with his father George II. I think Frederick even joined the political opposition to his father in Parliament. Frederick’s son became the future George III who apparently got along with his father Frederick. That was rare. Most Hanoverian Prince of Wales usually joined the political opposition. George III had tremendous problems with his son the future George IV. Interesting how that seemed to happen. I feel sorry for George III a truly English king who was hard working and had to put up with a rebellion in his American colonies.
@@MichaelTreadwell-jo9bi Yes, his name was Albert Frederick Arthur George, he was known amongst friends and family as Albert, but took the name George as King.
Our organizational skills far exceeded our natural inclinations. Any hard contradiction was simply transferred to the lower classes. The lust for power was indeed a very handsome reward. Always worth the risk and the actual force behind progress.
Do a video on Janusz Korczak. He wrote King Matt the First and Kayet the Wizard. Korczak ran the largest orphanage in Warsaw. He was a pediatrician, and give children rights. Only man to have a free pass out of the Warsaw Ghetto.
I really think the Stuart royal family was the legitimate monarchy in Great Britain. James II was illegally overthrown in 1689. His son who would have been James III had a far better claim to the throne than the Hanoverian George I.
@@latin504James II never abdicated the throne. He fled to France probably because he feared for his life. The fact that his father Charles I had been executed was probably why he fled.
@VersteheNZJames II never abdicated the throne. He fled to France when William of Orange invaded England with his army. The people that invited William were in rebellion against the legitimate monarch James II. His daughter Mary could have refused to participate in the invasion against her father but she sided with her husband William instead. James was probably shocked that his daughter would do such a thing.
@@dennisboyd4262I see your point. James II had his faults but he was the legitimate monarch who inherited the throne from his brother Charles II. He had an army that he could have used to fight a battle against William of Orange but he fled to France instead. He tried to regain the throne at the Battle of the Boyne but panicked and returned to France. His son made an attempt unsuccessfully and his grandson Charles Stuart came close in 1745 with support from the Scottish Highlanders. I think the Stuarts did have support of the people however James was publicly a Catholic who had a son as his heir who would be Catholic and this did not sit well with some of the people. I see your point though. If James had not fled and fought a battle with his army against William of Orange British history might have been quite different.
Great video but should the title not read “first German monarch” as all his successors up to George VI had mostly if not exclusively German blood as they continued to marry Germans. George VI broke that tradition by marrying a Scot and Charles III married two English women.

George III was the great grandson of George I. The line of descent goes George I > George II > Frederick, Prince of Wales > George III. Prince Frederick died before his father George II did so George III came to the throne instead
Wait, sarcasm? They changed their name at the beginning of WWII to Windsor in honor of queen Victoria as she had built Windsor castle... German names had a bad connotation in the UK at the time
@@dawnpalmby5100the name change to Windsor took place during the First World War (1917 I think) to sound more English rather than the German house name 😊
I admire the Georgian dynasty for having refused to learn english, the most primitive language , stupidly complicated through its absurd pronunciation and marked by its lexical poverty .
The fact he didn't speak English was a blessing in disguise. And so was the fact he spent most of the time in Hannover. This allowed Lord Palmerston and the Parliament to develop the current constitutional form of the British monarchy already by the end of the 18th century, with the monarch being a mere figurehead with limited powers. The same didn't happen in France and Continental Europe, and we've seen happened in 1779 and 1848.
@@Yorkiecarlos you are probably refering to Henry Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston, a British PM in the 19th century. I was refering to their forefathers, the 1st and 2nd Viscounts Palmerston, who were from the Anglo-Irish aristocracy and had fundamental role, alongside Robert Walpole and the first British PMs in the early developments of the constitutional monarchy.

The beggining of a dynasty and the popularity of the name george! Will not be surprised that the UK got a George IX before Edward IX or Henry IX
After the last Henry's behaviour and the behaviour of a current prince named Henri.... don't think you'll see any more Henries anytime soon.

The Windsors are German. They were the Hapsburgs and changed the name due to Germany's politics.
hapsburgs? Eh no, they were Saxe-Coburg and Gothas.
Very watchable and informative documentary, thank you.
