Fun fact: When Dan Jones mentions that Henry has been on crusade, he is not talking about the crusades in the Holy Land, which by this time were over. He is referring to the Northern Crusades in which the Teutonic knights fought the pagan Lithuanians. Henry fought alongside the Teutonic knights in these campaigns, particularly the Siege of Vilnius.

Lithuania was already a Christian country by that time - however the Teutons took their supposed "paganity" as an excuse to plunder the local population and expand their wealth & territories. Most of the Granduchy's lands were Greek-Orthodox, while only the Lithuanian "heartlands" remained pagan, but by that time, they already got baptized, with ONE exception - Samogitia - and Samogitia was strategically important for the Teutons. Samogitia would get baptized later on - by 1413 - and not BY THE SWORD which was the usual "teutonic" way of doing things (SLAUGHTERING the local population and taking over their lands, while inviting pesant farmers usually from the Germanic lands & cities, i.e. GERMANIZATION of the locals) but "BY THE BOOK" - i.e. through baptism and evangelisation of the country.

"Anyone with a drop of royal blood..." Bolingbroke had the exact same level of royal blood as Richard II. They were both sons of sons of Edward III. It wasn't a distantly related upstart who usurped the throne. The precedent Bolingbroke started was that closely-related cousins, patrilineally descended from Edward III, could vie for the throne. When the Yorkists threw out the Lancastrians, they were also direct patrilineal (and matrilineal) descendants of Edward III.

Never said that Bolingbroke was or wasn't the heir apparent. I'm merely pointing out that Bolingbroke had exactly the same degree of royal descent, birth order aside, that Richard II did. This video's dodgy script gives the impression that Bolingbroke came out of nowhere and barely had any claim. That's just not so. Bolingbroke had zero legitimate claim - but in terms of royal descent, he was at least qualified to be in the running for throneship.

I totally agree and they dont even mention Edmund Langley (John of Gaunts other younger brother but who was older then Gloucester and he was the Duke of York) and what makes it a shame is Richard II when he left the country, he left his Uncle Edmund of Langley in charge of the country while he was away, so that is who Henry Bolingbroke/Henry IV had to face when he decided to go for the crown when he invaded. I think Edmund let his nephew Henry Bolingbroke just take the throne with very little convincing but it still would be interesting to get yo know how that conversation and discussion went.

From what I read, Henry V had Richard II properly buried as a way to correct his father's act of usurping the crown and I hear he was quite close to Richard too

A lot of Game of Thrones is a based on real medieval history, except real medieval history is infinitely more complex and interesting tbh. The throne in GoT technically never even leaves the same family in the entire series, while in real life, the throne of England changed hands between at least 4 families (cadet branches) in the 14th and 15th centuries.

I thought this version explained in more detail how events transpired over the later videos done.The way it’s choreographed with a French to English translation really depicts how it must’ve been.

From the rise of Henry II to the end of the Wars of the Roses, the Plantagenet line had 17 separate coronoations, though two of those- Henry VI and Edward IV- were crowned twice. 17 (or 15) kings in 300 years means a new ruler roughly every 20 years.

I feel the line ended with Richard II. While Bolingbroke had the Plantagenet blood, he was still Gaunt's (and not the Black Prince's) son and therefore a new line has started. Even Henry ViiI has Plantagenet blood going back to three of Edward II's sons (Lionel of Antwerp, John of Gaunt and Edmund of Langley), so a line has to be drawn somewhere.

"The crown of England had passed down legitimately through eight generations, since Henry II established the Plantagenet dynasty 2 and half centuries earlier, Henry IV's coronation changed all that" to be honest I'm not sure if that is true. After Richard Lionheart/Richard I, the 2nd Plantagent king died without any legitimate children the crown went to his youngest brother who became King John I, but they had a brother named Prince Geoffrey who was younger than King Richard I and older than King John I. Now Geoffrey died before Richard I but he had a legitimate son named Arthur and if we are gonna talk about the crown passing legitimately within the Plantagent dynasty, then after Richard I died the next King should have been his nephew Arthur and Not his younger brother John. But John seized the crown, I believe with support from his mother and then captured and had his nephew Arthur killed.

@Hornyshark I never doubted that by John taking the crown instead of Arthur that it wasnt passed down within the Plantagenet Dynasty. All I'm saying is the narrator made it seem like that Henry IV/Bolingbroke was the first one within the Plantagenet Dynasty to usurp the crown from another member in the Plantagenet Dynasty, but I think I disagree bc John usurped it from his nephew Arthur, but as u said it still was a Plantagent family member taking the crown bc the Plantagent dynasty didnt end until Richard III died in the battle of Bosworth against Henry Tudor/Henry VII. The 14 Plantagenet rulers were: 1) Henry II - 1st Platagent King 2) Richard I/Richard Lionheart - son of Henry II 3) John I - younger brother of Richard I and youngest son of Henry II 4) Henry III - son of John I 5) Edward I/Edward Longshanks - son of Henry III 6) Edward II - son of Edward I/Edward Longshanks 7) Edward III - son of Edward II 8) Richard II - grandson of Edward III and son of Edward the Black Prince(who died before his father Edward III. And was the oldest son of Edward III to live to adulthood) 9) Henry IV/Henry Bolingbroke - usurped the crown from Richard II. Was the grandson of Edward III and was the son of John of Gaunt who was the 3rd oldest son of Edward III to live to adulthood. 10) Henry V - son of Henry IV/Henry Bolingbroke 11) Henry VI - son of Henry V 12) Edward IV - usurped the crown from Henry VI. Was a descendant from both Edward III's 2nd oldest son to live to adulthood Lionel Antwerp(descendant from the female line) and 4th oldest son to live to adulthood Edmund York (descendant from the male line) 11 again) Henry VI - supporters won him back his crown 12 again) Edward IV - won his crown back. 13) Edward V - was declared King but was never crowned King and he was the son of Edward IV 14) Richard III - younger Brother of Edward IV, usurped crown from his nephew Edward V and died in the Battle of Bosworth and was the last King of the Plantagenet dynasty.

I love how they used some of the same actors and tried to disguise them as different characters. For examples: in this episode the priest praying behind Richard is Henry I from the first part. Isabella`s brother in the 3rd part is also a french noble in an earlier part. And King John in the first part is shown as Henry III`s Lusignan whisperer. An amazing documentary overall and very very well narated. Bravo!

I think you mean Henry II, but yea its the same guy. He is also in the Wars of the Roses series as Earl Rivers

I've really enjoyed watching this 4 part series. Very ell done, settings, the gorgeous castles, even the narrator is engaging. Thank you Timeline WHD!

The actor playing Richard is what Ramsay Bolton is probably supposed to look like.

Amazing how two people can read the same history and come up with such different perspectives. Richard II was a tragedy, not a monstrosity. At least by the standards of the time.

Shakespeare's Richard II is a tragedy, the real Richard of Bordeaux was actually a spoiled brat with no brakes. Nobody told him at a critical age how to take counsel and compromise. And that went of the rails at later age.

​@@thomaszaccone3960Richard was a tyrant, not even remotely debatable.

An enjoyable documentary, but it left many details uncovered. For example, John of Gaunt's (who was Henry Bolingbroke's father) role as senior nobleman in the land was barely mentioned. I would say that Richard was the king as long as he had his uncle's support. The whole Appellant crisis started when John was out of the country, and only his return saved Dickon from deposition. Nevertheless Richard detested and feared the House of Lancaster, and this fear eventually became the reason of his fall. Stealing Henry Bolingbroke's inheritance was a very stupid thing to do.

I love history!!! I read a lot about the Plantagenets but it feel better seeying it,than imagining it....

I thought that I really knew this history. HOLY MOLY! The details from minute mark 42:00 until the end are chilling. I now fully understand how the "Split" of the Plantagenet Dynasty occurred. I'm pretty sure that I am a descendant of these people through the Lancastrian side. I will always be fascinated these people and their lives.

john lewis -- Like it or not, Richard II is usually considered as the last of the Plantagenet kings. Considering that the Lancastrians and Yorks were such a sharp break from the previous monarchs, especially from the genealogical standpoint, it makes sense.

Castleford here (next town along from Pontefract). Our town's "thing" is that it was a roman fort in the first century.

This is a really good series. I've enjoyed every bit of it.

Everyone needs to remember, as he says from the beginning, that this is history of these kings as HE sees them. There are indeed a lot of facts, but when it comes to the details and drama and reasoning, it is his opinion (And producers opinions) as to what was going on in their minds and all

Excellent excellent excellent content! Loved every minute of it. Bravo!

Very well done. Thank you!

Great series, Dan Jones is also a great story teller

Fabulous series, I enjoyed this so much I am going to watch it all again.

The histories and commonality between the English and French are inexpexpirably linked. In many eras there were few distinctions. Plantagenet is agnlisized Occitian French for yellow flower. And in modern times they were allies in some of the greatest conflicts in human history. This definitely should not be a hatred.
