Patrick McGoohan's performance while very good, paled in significance to the real Longshanks. In my eyes he didn't physically impose himself in the film other than the scene of him throwing his son's favourite through the window. Edward I was a larger than life character when he was alive, he was a veritable hero to the English comparable to Richard Lion Heart because of his escapades as a vicious warrior fighting in multiple battles in England Wales France and the Holy Land.

Great video, I highly appreciate the detail. Personally, I would disagree with the notion that Edward was a poor administrator, financier and logistician. He read books, oversaw law disputes, engaged in complicated diplomacy and managed the supply of his armies on a scale that was possibly never seen before in England and which led to the military successes that his predecessors and successors failed to reciprocate. I will emphasise however, that evidence is lacking and it’s possible that all this was also done by capable subordinates. Great video, keep up the great work. 👍

Robert Bruce said he feared Edward I bones more than he did the living Edward II. Given the time period we are studying here, a fearsome warrior king would have been infinitely preferable. And let us not forget the major reforms he made in Parliament and the legal system, on the back of his father’s and grandfather’s terrible rule, including the 2 Barons Wars. He learned greatly from his fathers mistakes and his own at the Battle of Lewes, appointed the loyal and brilliant Robert Burnell as Chancellor which set the importance of Chancellor as we know it today, re-established the Royal Prerogative whilst pacifying the disgruntled barons, set up an efficient system of raising royal finance, including the reissue of coinage which made £25k profit (and establishing faith in coinage needed at the time of a growing cash economy which was replacing the feudal system) and his expulsion of the Jews in 1290 came as a result of the requirement put in place by Parliament in return for the taxation he needed rather than purely to do with his own anti-Semitism. And he was a loving husband to Eleanor to boot, her death in 1290 partially explains his increasing brutality and fearsomeness in the time thereafter. I could go on and on but what I’m trying to do is balance out the negative portrayals this brilliant king receives in this day and age. Yes he was brutal. So too was the time period in which he reigned.

There's the line from "The King And I": "The worst barbarian is a weak king!" Something applicable to Stephen and Henry VI, but NOT to Edward I.

Side note: Edward's avatar is a picture of Patrick McGoohan, the actor who portrayed Longshanks in the film Braveheart. I agree with a comment made by one that McGoohan was in fact perfect for the part. I consider it a bit of casting genius. For those of us old enough to remember, McGoohan also was the star of the TV show The Prisoner, which, coincidentally, can be seen on Primewire. An obscure, well produced British spy show.

An extraordinarily detailed historical account, so detailed in fact that 1 wonders how we could trust its accuracy given it's detail & the fact that the events it speaks of took place between the 1200's & 1300's A.D. (Approx.). 800 yrs - that's a long time ago. It is widely believed & I suspect can be generally trusted that the peoples of Europe were quite adept at keeping reliable records of such events. Undoubtedly the volume of material from which all of the information conveyed in this presentation was drawn far exceeds that contained in the presentation itself. So we have a condensed account - necessarily, or this presentation would have had to have been much, much longer. I must confess that this condensed account does have a ring of truth to it. It certainly has been very thoroughly, impressively & artfully presented, both verbally & visually. Thank you for your efforts. I found it very fascinating.

As a Scot I found this video an excellent work. I had long wondered about the extreme cruelty of Longshanks Scottish 'Crusade'. Any medieval knight on crusades witnessed and probably participated in acts ignoble of their chivalrous oath since they were at war with Non Christians. Wallace's fate was par for the course in medieval Britain. However the acts that Longshanks' Sheriffs and Bishops perpetrated against the Scottish civilians were beyond the pale for 'Christian warfare' which began during the English occupation of Scotland. Longshanks did not have an effective hold on Scotland because of this and he never sought to win over the hearts and minds of the people. When The Bruces Queen and Daughter and brother were caught, his Brother was immediately hung and disemboweled. Bruces' wife the Queen of the Scots, was hung in a cage on the walls of an English castle for 8 yrs. His daughter was locked in a nunnery. They were not released until after Bannockburn. When Longshanks caught the Welsh rebels they were simply beheaded.

Instead being seen as a flawed king that worked so hard only to have all his work undone towards the end of his life and under Richard II.

I was wondering if they were referring to a documentary about Braveheart....? Otherwise the title makes no sense since the movie Braveheart is not a documentary.

Excellent bio of a very interesting crusader king

"TELL LONGJEANS I'M SORRY !" 🤣 - Patrice O'neal RIP

This guy is the maradona of narrating

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?"

From the Philippines🎉❤

"I agree. Especially that whole expelling Jews thing from England thing for doing absolutely nothing but contributing to his wealth," she said sarcastically.

It's amazing how Hollywood so twisted the events making King Edward as a merciless Tyrant, and Sir. Wallace the man of free peoples when he is but another Noble, even a warlord. It is not to say that Edward I was a model king, he had ambitions of power at French expense, and that he persecuted the Jews. However, yet he is reasonably a better king than most as took his role seriously, and more admirably, a wonderful husband.

the movie was mostly based on the poem by Blind Harry, and various other legends about Wallace. The thing that bothered me most was the battle of Stirling without a bridge lol. That and Wallace fathering Edward III

He was a man of his age and by the standards of his era he was a very good king indeed. Whatever you think of his actions, I dont think he deserved the one dimensional villianous caricature in Braveheart.

The writers need to get their dates straight. They keep switching from the 1100s to the 1200s
