And now you should make some cooperation with ThrashingMadPL and make analog video on Eastern European early feudalism (the one between year 906 when Moravia has fallen and 1502 when paesants were turned into moder slaves by Statute of Piotrkow and analog laws in Russia). ThrashingMadPL makes good videos on the topic, while you can reach english speaking audience.

In Aragon (Spain) there was a curious tradition: whenever a new king (or queen) was crowned, the nobles would give the crown after reciting this: “Nos, que somos y valemos tanto como vos, pero juntos más que vos, os hacemos Principal, Rey y Señor entre los iguales, con tal que guardéis nuestros fueros y libertades; y si no, no” "We, which are and worth as much as thee, but together more than thee, make thee our Leader, King and Sire amongst equals, as long as you guard our feudal laws and liberties; and otherwise not."

@@davyroger3773 His sons were rather like the children of a CEO or titan of industry who builds a company , or in Henry's case an empire, from the ground up. They are very aware of what they are "entitled" to but less aware of what ruling actually is. Richard was more worthy of his father than his brothers, but all in all none of the Angevin brothers were anything like as remarkably able as Henry II. Also, to clarify... his "legitimate" sons rebelled at one time or another. That rather proves my point. His eldest child Geoffrey, who had no hope of inheriting anything other than his father's trust, was loyal to the end.

This is a unique video, however England is missing a crucially significant section: the revolutionary legal reforms of Henry II and the expansion on the royal power at the expense of the nobility, making England one of the most centralized kingdoms in Christendom. The rebellion of the barons against King John had much less to do with the efforts of William the Conqueror and almost everything to do with John’s unpopularity, failure abroad, and exponential expansion of the incredibly well-oiled administration forged by Henry II. “… the later resentment of the Angevin system implicit in Magna Carta might have been fostered by Henry II’s mastery of men and government. Certainly many of the barons at Runnymede in 1215 saw John’s excesses as expansions of those of his father.” Thomas K. Keefe, Henry II, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, volume 26

China's conflicts with neighbors primarily stem from US influence, not because it is Communist (see Laos and Vietnam). China doesn't do preservation, that's really an obsession from Ming-era Han-centric conservatism as a response to foreigner rule. On the contrary, Chinese culture has always morphed and changed over the dynasties. Materials get better. It would be stupid to stick to wooden buildings with paper windows when concrete is just that much better.

You have no business making videos of such insane quality. Wishing this channel the best of success

That was a fantastic video! I knew most of the things in broadscale theory, but it was interesting to see the details and how the courts differed from one another.

I would happily watch a whole series on this. Best video I’ve watched in a long time!

Found this channel day before yesterday & been binging on docs since 😂 🔥 stuck in the house today (bad ice storm overnight) and have the notifications on, this should be an interesting one 😎 I’m in the middle of watching the other Rome/Caesar docs anyways. I just wanted to show love & give y’all your 💐

You know.. this channel has evolved exponentially from the past few years. Their production value is such high quality and always providing such entertaining and informative content. I feel like Kings and Generals can even go up a notch by even producing short stories (not KZread Shorts) of historical events. The level of effort and detail they put up with exceeds our expectations along with clips of action in animation.

I love this channel!! Growing up playing dnd and seeing the wotc drawings of medieval weapons and armor in the core rulebooks of 3rd edition; it drew me to want to learn more about medieval society.

This is my favourite video in a long time, they're always good but this one was exceptional!

This is great content. Seeing a well-produced documentary essentially using one of my favorite games for the map and art is like a dream come true lol. Reminds me of the old days of the History channel where they would use Rome: Total War to simulate battles

This was an awesome condensing of so much information. Well done. It must be a nightmare cutting your drafts down to size.

Wonderful video!! The detailed information, graphics, narration. All spot on!

First venetians be like: "Sir I've added another election in the code of law, as you asked" "more" "Alright sir" "More!" "ok sir" "MORE" "Sir, I think we have enough" "MOOOREE"

This is really interesting! I'd love to see more videos on this topic. It would be cool to see how courts in the Middle East or India functioned as well.
