Why are you using a portrait of Henry I in the thumbnail of a video about Henry III?

Friendship that turned sour was quite a recurring theme for the Plantagenets.

Really impressed with all the actors speaking French; especially if people who were nobility/aristocracy in those days would have actually spoken French. So many documentaries on any European topic have the actors speak English if it's an English documentary, so this is a refreshing change.

Well no, this is such a big oversimplification that it’s false. It’s a common myth that Richard the Lionheart “ruined” England by bankrupting it, but this is just not true. He actually was one of the few Plantagenet kings to campaign successfully against the French and defend the Angevin empire. It was John who threw that all away, and yet ironically enough, John was actually Henry II’s favorite son, though admittedly that is probably just because he was too young to judge while Henry II was alive. Henry III was at least ambitious during the first half of his reign, engaging in multiple campaigns against the French as best as he could. He didn’t succeed because by that point, the french had already become too strong. Regardless, Henry III still invested a lot into the culture of England as well as many building projects. Edward I and Edward III were pretty successful kings as well afterward.

Ironic how Simon stayed honest, fought for his oath. Even though he is killed " made example of" yet what he wanted to accomplish was accomplished by his enemies.

19:23 I really liked how the actor playing Henry III created that twitch on the left side of his mouth. Superb method of conveying rage without uttering a word or taking any other action.

This is always the problem with dynasties: No matter how good of a ruler you are or how much you do, eventually someone down the line will be incredibly incompetent and ruin it all. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Henry III.

You know, it occurs to me that no English/British dynasty since the Plantagenets has ruled the country nearly as long as they did. If you count the Lancasters and Yorks, both cadet branches of the Plantagenets, they ruled England for around 330 years. The Tudors only ruled for less than 120 years, the Stuarts ruled for about 110 years, give or take, the Hanovers ruled for about 187 years, and the Saxe-Coburg & Gotha/Windsors have only been in power since the beginning of the 20th Century. Just a thought, really.

Such a good documentary...plus Dan Jones is so freaking cute

This channel is my new favorite show!

Enjoying these documentaries. Very interesting and intense throughout.

You see, just when you think you have everything and could relax, another entity will try to take it away.

I live 5 minutes from Lewes, amazing learning history I never knew about! 😀

Very detailed. Loved it

Imagine being Henry as a 9 year old king. His nanny goes up on the parapets and yells: "henREEEEE! HENNNNreeee! Oh, HENNNNree! HENRY! Where hast thou been! Damn it, boy! How many times must I tell thee not to be late for supper! King of England or not, thy youthful bottom can still be made red with strikes from a cane! Get in this castle right now and wash up! Dinner is ready!" "Oh, Grünhilde! I was slaying dragons in the forest!" "Oh, don't 'oh Grünhilde' me! I'll turn thee over to the duke's Dungeon Master, cousin Günther der Schlimme (Gunther the Bad for you non-German speakers), for a spanking thou shalt not soon forget! Ah, speaking of the Dungeons, if thou eatest all thy victles especially the greens, I shall allow thee to descend into to the Dungeons later to help cousin Günther torture some prisoners before bed. Now off with thee!" "Gosh, I thank thee, Nanny Grünhilde! Thou art so kind! I promise thee I am shall eat allllll my victels and the icky greens for a trip to the Dungeons! I adore torturing people and playing with all of cousin Günther's implements to see which ones causeth the greatest pain! This will be useful when I have grown up into a man!"

the actor who played grown up john, the king's favorite son, in the previous episode is now william de valence in this episode?

I was wondering if anyone else noticed. I'm thinking they recorded William first and then went, "Uhh, use this closeup of the guy next to the throne. It's not like they can tell it's not Henry II."

This presenter: "He's gonna be a GREAT Plantagenet king!" Charles Dickens: "Henry III was never more than a shadow of a king at all times."

Dan Jones is a fascinating host!

Very good , elegant and lively documentary by a fantastic historian .. one critic thou, the most famous of them all , the one that has all the qualities of the Plantagenets : handsome , charismatic, brave like a lion , and has all the evil side of the family: ruthless, calculating , traitor .. I mean of course Richard the Lionheart , where is he ? The guy fought from England to France to Italy to the Middle East , this all not enough?

So the war between Simon and Edward is essentially the real-world Reyne-Tarbeck revolt from Game of Thrones, with Simon being the equal to Roger Reyne, and Edward being the equivalent of Tywin Lannister.

Great documentary but I was also hoping to hear little more on King Johns reign. Simone we can thank in part for democracy, if it was not for him insisting that the King does break his oath which he had already done many times and his life he sacrificed. God bless Simone, I did not know you in this life but I salute your integrity.

Im always impressed in the Stone work and building of Castles , Abbeys and Cathedrals . I need to go on a another holiday to see more of it
