    Fun fact: 1:12 The son actually became infamous in history for one reason. Once, when he was battling some vikings, he noticed their ship had crashed and they couldn’t form proper battle lines, and so he decided to be honorable and not attack so that they could form battle lines and regain their strength, after they regained their strength, they said “Hey, thanks man!” and proceeded to slaughter the kings entire army. The end.

    I think there are probably better things to be famous for than killing people for money. Sure, different times, but in those times most people just wanted to raise a family and put food on the table too. I wonder if 1,000 years from now they'll regard ISIS as just a bunch of happy warriors.

    A cool story from the Battle of Stamford Bridge, and moment of historical badassery: Apparently, before the battle, a lone English rider approached the Norwegian host and found Harald Hardrada, who was accompanied by Tostig Godwinson. Tostig was Harold Godwinson's brother, but had been stripped of his titles and exiled, so joined Harald Hardrada to get some revenge and his land back. This lone rider spoke to them and offered Tostig his land back if he turned on Harald and sided with the English. Tostig asked what Harold Godwinson would offer Harald Hardrada for his trouble, and the rider responded "Six feet of ground, or as much more as he needs, as he is taller than most men." The rider then turned and left. Harald Hardrada, impressed by the boldness of this lone rider willing to stand before the entire Norwegian host and threaten their king, asked Tostig if he knew who he was - Tostig said yes, and that lone rider was none other than Harold Godwinson himself. The tale may be apocryphal; it's recorded in written accounts, but they were all written by people who lived long after the battle. If true though, damn; Harold Godwinson was himself every bit as badass as the great warriors he was arrayed against.

    the epithet "unready" isn't derived from the modern word but its actually a pun the name Aethelred roughly translates to "well advised" and the old english word "Unraed" roughly translates to "poorly advised" So Aethelred the Unready basically means "Well Advised the Poorly Advised"

    @@whankerflanker4853 All of france had different dialects back then, but Normandy was one of the closest forms of old french to the one in the capital. Even today it's easy to read, even if languages evolved (some old french words like castel for example even changed and became chateau in france, funnily this word remained more or less the same in english (castle)). Anyway, norman french is academically considered an integral part of old french (langue d'oil), no question (just look at the wiki page of old french). The issue is only how Britain wants to view its history. If the country is willing to accept that even now that it's became insignificant.

My teacher has his masters degree and has written and published historian articles so i’d like to think this is accurate.

    10:02 shows William burning villages in Devon & Cornwall. While he did briefly lay siege to Exeter, where Harold's grandmother resided and resisted his rule, he mostly left Cornwall to his half-brother Robert, and to his Breton allies, whose ancestors had fled the region to France during the Anglo Saxon conquest. These Bretons were the ones who fought and defeated two of Harold Godwinson's sons, Godwin and Edmund, at the Battle of Northam, when they launched an invasion of Devon in 1069. This is not only relevant from a 'what happened to Harold's family?' viewpoint, but also from a linguistic one as it was three Cornish-speaking cornishmen who were the ones to preserve the English language when it was in danger of being eradicated by the Norman dialect of French.

    This is why I believe until my dying day that William's retreat from the hill was a planned strategic move. Because the Old English fell straight down into that trap, by losing discipline, and the high ground, and abandoning their fortifications to give chase, thus exposing them to flanking maneuvers, and a reversal of advantage. The fact that William's army so quickly turned the situation around is stark indication that this was the plan from the beginning. The Conqueror saw that attacking uphill against a well-fortified army was costing him too much, and he would not win. So he changed plan mid-battle, and went with the old fashioned "Rope-a-Dope" technique. "Hey! Look at my fist coming at you from the left! Oh NO!" WHAM!! Punch across the nose from the undefended right. Boxer is down for the count. Battle over. England is.... ENGLISH now...

There's soo much information that being tossed around and glossed over without much breathing room to process and understand. If you already know about this historical event, the video is pretty good, but for those who's not, they gonna get confused a lot by the first half. The second half is far better paced and have a lot of breathing room to digest the info.
