Heroes and Legends Documentary Channel
Heroes and Legends Documentary Channel
Heroes and Legends is a channel dedicated to exploring the lives and stories of great individuals that have made an impact on history, culture or our way of life. Some of these may be little known to the wider world, even though they impacted significantly on the destinies of their own people. Others may have been condemned unfairly by history and deserve to have their contributions reviewed. We hope that by bringing their stories to light, we can all learn from their experiences and enrich the tapestry of knowledge that exists outside the narrative of our own time and culture.

You made an error in your Portuguese dates, Vasco da Gama made his first Indian voyage in 1497 and landed in India in 1498, so it's 10-11 years after Diaz's journey around the Cape of Good Hope (depending if you count from the beginning of Diaz journey in 1487 or from when he rounded the Cape in 1488), NOT "the very next year" like you state. Also, England did not break with Rome until 1534 (by Henry VIII), so the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494 had nothing to do with Protestantism (which itself of course didn't take off geopolitically at all until after Luther and his 95 Theses in 1517), and once England became solidly Protestant in the 1540's the Treaty was no longer directly relevant (though of course its original effects continued to be present in the political structure at the time). Relatively-minor errors though, great job overall, love your vides, they're a pleasure and provide great escapist fun for anybody who loves history.
World history needed a detached Aussie perspective. Nice work. This in an era of an Aussie love of documentaries...
The Irish aren’t a problem it’s the British with the problem 😊
When Thatcher became PM, the U.K. was the 16th - 19th biggest economy depending on how you calculate it. When she left office, it was 4th. No other declining country has ever reversed its economy by this much this rapidly. She won 3 huge election victories and was the longest serving Prime Minister in modern history and since full democracy was introduced. She was brought down by her own colleagues over Europe (she’d be proven right by history, they wrong) not by the opposition or by a popular vote. Her last victory was so huge that her party remained in power on her coat tails for a further 7 years. Thatcher was always supported by the silent plurality of voters, but not by the media and especially by the all powerful state instruction the BBC, which still denigrates her, and basically, all Tories. The BBC and the arts institutions still give the impression that the miners’ strike was a populist uprising against an oppressive government. But the government always had the majority support of the public who were fed up with being held to ransom over decades. The strike was called 3 times and 3 times voted down by the miners. Their leader started the strike anyway, illegally, and 1/3 of miners never went on strike. Thatcher was blamed for closing mines but she closed fewer mines than either of her Labour predecessors. Today, the Labour Party is in favour of Net Zero and coal production in Britain is ended. Labour now intend to shut down the oil industry. Steel production will end in the U.K. next year. Thatcher would never have dine this because a country with huge resources no production of fossil fuels or steel has no energy security and is a hostage to international events.
Yes, an excellent documentary. Brilliant, enjoyable, insightful. Thank you 💖
Loved every bit of this. You include a great mix of historical context that made the main narrative more rich. From details about world politics and important side characters to notes about the ships and pirate life, I could picture the time and place and motivations throughout. Bravo! I also didn’t know much about Henry Every other than his name being attached to the “Golden Age” of piracy. Now I see why the TV series Black Sails made him a main character. I haven’t seen the whole series yet, so I hope they depict this exploit in later seasons!
Really good narrator,have heard him in a few aviation history docs,,👍
Thanks, but I haven't done any aviation docs. Must be a different Aussie
Must be that accent,soothing to listen to,I might've payed attention to my school teachers more if they have had a voice like that ,I love ancient sailing history ,the old square rigger's are amazing 😊
That movie, I think 1492,! Was great
Best video ever for falling asleep.
Wait till my next one comes out: its on Nikola Tesla and the physics of electricity. You'll sleep like a log
Don’t get it wrong it’s not an attack on Cpt Cook it’s an attack on all white people and all of our history!
Ithinkbritish attitudes toward different colors of men come closest to true rasism that is insisting adifferent color from them meant you were a different race from them ie the british.
You are Perfectionist We never new in India about forming & trading of Pakistan with Arabic connection Great Fact
Very interesting story
I know it's impossible to cover everything and before I say anything I gotta hand it to ya; this was an amazing take on Irish history. Massive respect! But in my opinion there was one important factor you forgot to mention and that was the Home Rule Bill, where three times in a row, Ireland had voted for Home Rule , but was vetoed by House of Lords three times in a row. The next time it was put forward they wouldn't be able to veto it. Britian promised to grant home rule AFTER WW1 was over but many didnt believe this. This was all in the years coming up to the Easter Rising in 1916 and was a massive contributing factor that is very often, overlooked. Loyalists also threatened to ethnically cleanse certain regions of the Catholic/Nationalist population should Home Rule be passed. I can only barely scratch the surface of all this in KZread comment , so I highly recommend to anyone reading this who may be interested in Irish history to have a look into the Home Rule Bill and all the drama and madness that surrounded it.
Thanks for sharing! It was a tough job to try and roll everything into one video- especially since my interest in the project began with a trip to Fremantle gaol and the incredible story of the Catalpa rescue! As usual it snowballed from there- next minute I'm researching Roman Britain, viking incursions, st Patrick and all things Fenian! No doubt there is so much more I should have done, but I'm glad you found my tribute of some small merit. It was a tough project to handle with sensitivity. Thanks so much for watching!
Outstanding! Thank you for making this! I really think it's time to make this man's legacy come back into the spotlight! What an amazing story
Glad you enjoyed it! Thankyou for watching!
Never understand why the west gets involved in the east
Same reason the Ottoman East got involved with the West, or the Mongol Far East got involved with Everyone: profit
This guy cracks me up; recounts the most gruesome stories and then says, "anyway." 😂 Great video!
Yeah, its become a bit of trademark. Thanks for watching!
Portugal's long & glorious (not to mention very important in human kind evolution) history is so underrated .. any one know why Hollywood has ignored it ?? ..all awhile glorifying other Nations who did half as much & in many cases some other cultures stole Portugal's achievements & heroes as to make themselves more important in our history ... Great video Thanks :) .
Common sense says we shouldnt be policing the world. Building an empire. Bases all over the world. Giving all our money to foreign countries
That was pretty much the consensus of the founding fathers
This is awsome. Informative and funny pleas give us more.
Thanks mate, will do my best!
you have said so many wrong things about islam. islam does not allow temporarily mariage nor mariage. also the wife can put a condition that her man can not marry another woman. and mariage is not accepted if one of the grooms had in mind that he will divorce after some time...
I didn't say it - Battuta said it in his own book, which you can download on our website and see for yourself. Battuta was a fully qualified Qadi, so perhaps he interpreted the law differently to you? Or maybe in his time there were different interpretations? We know he was Sunni and not Shia, but maybe rules were different in the Maghreb in the 1300's?
@@heroesandlegends he said that people did it, but he didnt say that its alright to do it in islam or that islam allowed it. he also talked about many bad things that happened across the lands he visited. he was telling how people are living not how they should love. Prophet mohammed peace be uppon im said about the temporarily marriage:" Behold, it is forbidden from this very day of yours to the Day of Resurrection." I am from al maghreb arabi and sunni and I am telling u please try to keep what islam says to the muslim scholars as we only take it from quran and what prophet says.
This is so entertaining and very high quality! How is this channel not more popular?
with the help of viewers like you, hopefully it will be. Thank you for watching and sharing your generous feedback!
So good!
Thanks!
So well researched and presented. 👍
Thank you!
So well researched and presented! 👍
Glad you liked it, thank you very much for supporting my channel!
I saw him on Mighty Ships, I was under the impression he was a harbor deepening ship driller, he sure doesn't look like one does he.
Best Ibn Battuta documentary I have seen so far!
Thanks so much!
Magallanes worked for the Spanish Empire, do not forget that! The enterprise was fully Spanish and not Portuguese... same for Christopher Columbus, where the Portuguese crown had nothing to do ! Portuguese remained always the losers in history
Congratulations. There is very few information about this great Portuguese explorer. Very good short documentary. Big hug from Lisbon, Portugal
Its part of my documentary on the Kingdom of Kongo - see the full length video playlist. Thanks for watching!
6:30 And therefore can by no means except by God Himself ever restituted.
What happened to Joan was wrong she was a brave girl who was trying to help her country
She was one tough kid, that's for sure! Thanks for watching!
Es El Imperio Español, No hay personalísimos eran cinco naves que zarparon desde Sevilla, y solo volvió una!!!

His way North to Beijing was by sailing through the incredible Chinese Grand Canal.
No music, no AI thats a sub from me 😂
My earlier ones had music, but i also uploaded music free versions (check their respective description sections). Thanks for the sub!
Jist waiting to be exploited ...,? Wtf! Ya people in n an s America we waiting to be exploited. Do you not see how stupid this is?
It was an expression of sarcasm
"Exotic" Italy? More old fashioned
Thomas Pain, like the vast majority of the Founders, were Freemasonic Luciferians who’s goal was to bring to fruition Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis. The American Experiment was to see if the average man would actual take control of his own life or if he would simply exchange the Old World Order for the New World Order. All you have to do is look around, including in these comments, to see what the outcome was: The New Age of voluntary servitude to the satanic law of man.
If one desires to better comprehend a subject, teach it.
Excellent thanks
Glad you liked it!
Who did the king of Spain not allow on Magellan's voyage due to psychosis schizophrenic??. Felad?..
Probably the best documentary out there about the dude
Thanks for watching!
Wow. ! Best hour or so spent lately.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thankyou!
52:55 Aha! So that's where Tolkien got the name for Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck, the friend of Peregrin "Pippin" Took, in Lord of the Rings.
30:05 Oh, no, the illustrations had been so flawless, and then adding some sunglasses-memes into it, really don't fit in with the overall quality, but is more at home in some of the SO MANY other, poorly researched, mass-produced AI-narrated channels on KZread, that have to entertain tweens at every second in order to keep their attention for a 3 minute long production with some general junior-facts. 42:50 And again... 😞
Thank you for sharing your point of view. I try to produce quality content, and part of it is to occasionally add a bit of dry humour and a little cheekiness too. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but i can't help myself. I hope you stay with me!
@@heroesandlegendsIt was the only thing I had to criticize. Dry humor is good, i just thought it didn't fit with the rest of the flawless look, but just an opinion. I hope you also noticed my comment where I praised the channel in a comment below, 3-4 hours ago: "I haven't come across this channel before, nor do I know if you have any other videos, but this alone made me subscribe, and the only thing I have to complain about, is that this is obviously a way too short video. For example to the point I'm at now, you only spend a few seconds on the first voyages by the different European powers of the time, in the Age of Discovery. This is all very well made, highly polished graphically, brilliantly narrated, with good maps and artwork relevant for the story being told. I hope you soon get some income from this, as you clearly got skills worth a livable salary." I'll be following the channel, yes. Thanks for your reply. Hope you'll have a great day. From Alv and my cat Lucis, Norway. 👍
Thanks and welcome aboard! Check out my video on Amundsen for some Norway love!
@@heroesandlegends Thanks for the recommendation, Amundsen and Nansen is two of the most loved of my countrymen and great adventurers. Will certainly watch it. Thor Heyerdahl is worth mentioning too, with his voyages with various craft to try to prove ocean voyages before the Age of Discovery. With wishes for a great weekend for you and yours. 🙂

This is great, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare this story to that of modern Ukraine. Before the Russian invasion, the Donbas region mostly populated by Russian-Ukrainians, had been under attack by the Ukrainian government for years. This was after the US helped to overthrow the democratically elected Ukrainian president who was friendly with Russia. Also, a HUGE motivating factor for the invasion was Ukraine’s insistence on joining NATO despite multiple promises to never do so. Let’s not forget that there was a peace treaty from the get-go that the US and Britain pushed Ukraine to reject. So Ukrainian soldiers aren’t really fighting for their own independence, they are fighting for the ambitions of western countries who want to weaken Russia.
Something we should emphasize more is the separation between the armed forces of the colonizers and the settlers. Imperialism requires subjugation, and they were the ones who pushed for massacres and resource exploitation to feed the industrial demands abroad, but most of the migrants were only looking for a brighter future.
The record in Early Sydney tends to actually show the opposite. Policy was to not disturb the native population as much as possible and to include them in the settlement, but it was often the greed of free settlers for more land that caused caused friction. They often expelled indigenous people from parcelled land and then took the law into their own hands
The ending is really what we all need to live by !
Thank you! I appreciate your comment!
So wild ! I could only imagine the amount of bravery and wild things they have seen. So dam crazy to me but how exciting!
That would need to make a movie of the league warrior true Hero legacy 🖤💛❤️💯
