I admit, I was skeptical. I thought, there is no way you can talk about literally every monarch in less than 20 minutes. You will be skipping some. But wow! You did exactly what you said you would. Every single monarch - and more than just the names, interesting details too and in a coherent story. This is a work of art and you should be proud!

Fun fact that you forget to point out, all the kings and queens after William the conqueror aren’t just descended from him and his house, but also that of Alfred the Great through his descendants as well. So they are all descended from both the Norman and Anglo-Saxons kings, making it even more legitimate.

You left out a few. Edgar Ætheling was elected King after the Battle of Hastings in October 1066 and ruled until William I came back to England to claim the throne in December. You mentioned that Stephen was imprisoned for a while by Matilda. For those three months in 1141, Matilda ruled England, styling herself as The Lady of England and organised her coronation, which did not succeed as the burghers kicked her out of London. Stephen took his throne back when his ransom was paid. The next was Henry the Young King, the eldest son of Henry II (Matilda's son). Young Henry was crowned in 1170 as King of England while his father was alive but he died six years before his father so the throne went to his younger brother Richard I when Henry II died. Next up is Jane. She was proclaimed Queen on the death of Edward VI in 1553 but her cousin, Edward's half sister, decided otherwise and took over as Mary I. Jane was beheaded in 1554. When Mary married, she had her husband, Philip of Spain, made King and co-regnant during her life. Philip is not usually recognised as a king of England but it will be interesting to see what happens should there be another King Philip. One other point, the 1605 Gunpowder Plot was led by Robert Catesby. Guy Fawkes was one of the conspirators and is best known because it was Fawkes who was captured in the cellar with the gunpowder. Apart from those few quibbles, it is a fascinating and entertaining study of the monarchy.

I have it in my mind that a huge contribution of Egbert was to actually have a line of succession. Before that powerful aristocrats could kill the king and take power for themselves and everyone is always watching their backs. But the line of succession allowed the king and the aristocracy to be more reasonably aligned which paved the way for statehood.

@monmothma3358

25 күн бұрын

That's actually very interesting, and as a non-Brit I was wondering about that. Like why did the nobles/barons negotiate with the King (Magna Carta, parliament etc) instead of killing and replacing him? No doubt it was a good thing, creating stability. While they still had civil wars, the claimants all seemed to need some legitimate relation to the ruling dynasty, it wasn't enough anymore to be an unrelated noble. What did Egbert do though, exactly, what do you mean have a line of succession, like he created the _idea_ of having that?

A wonderful summary

My favorite Monarch is King George VI. He seemed like a good and decent man who didn't want power, but when given it, wielded it for the good of his country and her people. He loved his children and wife, didn't fool around, and even though he was so sick at the end with cancer, he kept on. His fight against fascism was the most successful of all the Kings. There's something about him, he fought every obstacle thrown at him - and won. He also raised and taught his daughter well.

Thank you for this, a wonderful well researched appraisal of all the kings and queens of England. Just a few brief points I might add if I may: Stephen was the Baron's choice for king after Henry I, as (even in Henry VIII's reign) people thought a woman was incapable of being sovereign (Elizabeth I prove them wrong). Edward I conquered Wales incorporating it as part of the English legal and political system. In June 2016, the Barons proclaimed Louis VIII king of England to replace John, who ruled until September 2017. The main reason why the English civil wars came about was simply Parliament wanted to rule the country, and not by the king., who was to be constitutional. One forgotten figure, is George Monck, who was the de facto ruler of England shortly after Richard Cromwell. He invaded London and took over the government in February 1660. However, instead of becoming another Lord Protector, he paved the way for the restoration of the monarchy. A fascinating story. Then of course, as you said, the glorious revolution was an invasion by William of Orange. He landed with over 40,000 dutch infantry, and this is actually is the last successful invasion of England, though he was invited by Parliament to do so. It is the glorious revolution as instead of battles being fought from where he landed, Brixton in Devon, as he made his way to London, people joined him and it became a carnival procession. James fled when his own generals deserted him. There were over 70 people in the succession overlooked for the British throne after Anne, as they were Catholic. The throne was offered to Sophia of Hanover, but we never had a Queen Sophia, as she died shortly before Anne. Her son got the job. Geroge II's successor was his son Frederick, but he died as said, following an injury playing cricket. His son George got the job. Princess Charlotte was the Princess Diana of the 1810s, but died following child-birth, so we never had a Queen Charlotte. Queen Victoria's first name was Alexandrina, known as Drina to her close family. However it was considered to be an inappropriate name for a monarch, so her second name was used.

In these days of short attention spans and the lust for instant gratification, it takes more than a notion to commit to a 17-minute video. I'm not disappointed. This was a grand overview and the animation made it unique. This helped me gain a grasp of how all all these reigns tied together and the procession of Houses/dynasties. Really good presentation suitable for a classroom!

Personally I think Victoria had a more interesting reign just because of all the advances happening, the story of how she came to the throne, she actually had a happy marriage and all 9 of her children survived to adulthood, which was astonishing for the 19th century. Plus one of the most notorious serial killers, Jack the Ripper, was active during her reign, which is a fascinating case on its own but with her reign surrounding it, it adds to the intrigue of it

Interesting video. I learnd quite a lot about the kings of Wessex. And I would personally like to see another video like this for France, Spain, Denmark, Sweden and Austria. However in this when you talk about William III and Mary II you didn't mention that Mary II was daughter of James II. also Elizabeth II wasn't the longest serving monarch in history that was Lois XIV of Frace who ruled for 72 years from 1643-1715.

This answers a question that I've long had. Which is why William felt he had a right to the throne. This literally changed everything in English history. It also explains why so much of English comes from French.. One thing not mentioned is that for nearly 300 years the English kings spoke primarily French.
