You’d also love his series “Britains Bloody Crown” … done in the same style by Dan Jones, but they are even better! Especially the episode with Henry IV overthrown by Edward ,start of the war of the roses….the actors are perfection!

This video/documentary was an absolute masterpiece - WELL DONE !❤🤝 THIS is how history is told and displayed. If every lecture in school was like this - history would be the favorite subject of every student that has a brain.

One of the most interesting European Royal families by far. And from the moment they took power their lives were all wrapped up in this Intrigue and murder and all kinds of infamy. William the conqueror is also very interesting. Some of these plantagenet queens were considered that she Wolves of England and they all descend from William the Conqueror and before that the Vikings. There's a great plantagenet documentary on the BBC Channel on KZread, it's three parts but it's well worth it.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was married to TWO Kings…. Eleanor of Aquitaine was not only a courageous woman who went on Crusade with her first husband King Louis of France , but was extremely intelligent, passionate and tough as nails. Edward II and Gaveston were likely much more than just “ friends”..

This is great. I watched it not only from a historical manner but a personal one as well. I always have been interested in the Plantagenet kings since I read a book about them over 50 years ago and was surprised when years later I traced my genealogy that I was related to them and the Vikings that invaded and settled in Normandy I have always interested in history and enjoy watching documentaries like this.
