When I was a kid you could walk inside the Major Oak and it was all still plain woodland with no man-made paths and such spoiling the look of the place. Necessary precautions but a pity. Wonder what they'll do when the tree finally falls down, especially when they cut down so many oaks everywhere else. We lost dozens near my town (not far from there) in the last decade alone, some because idiots kept wrapping their cars around them, many oaks that were centuries old are just sad stumps now.

@savvageorge
@savvageorge 5 лет назад
Not sure if William saw this tree but many other royals probably did visit here. Nottingham was the capital city of England in these days and Sherwood forest was the playground for the rich and wealthy. King Henry II and his sons Richard Lion Heart and King John built a hunting palace in Clipstone only a couple of miles away from the major oak and they regularly used to spend time hunting in Sherwood Forest.

I would love to see more of History Time Live! I have seen Białowieski park narodowy(Białowieża National Park) and the biggest Polish Oak(Dąb Bartek) i don't remember how big it is of the top of my head but the Sherwood one should be bigger. I don't think that the polish one is naturally grown. It was common practice to plant an oak tree on someone's grave. Dąb Bartek have lot of history to it, kings have rested underneath it or even hid stuff in empty parts. Like I said once before I live close to Vistula so this region of Europe is close to me.

Oh you you . I was Robin Hood huge fan as a child . So now I have to comment this . Because I did a lot reading about the hooded man from in Lincoln Green in younger years . Now lets if my memory serves me right . Hallo from Denmark again . Great to see Sherwood forrest and the mention of the uk’s most famous outlaw . There are a lot theories about Who the Real Robin Hood might have been . If he ever exsisted . Now Robin Hood being active during reigns of Richard the lionheart and his brother King John are later invention of writers. The original ballards and myths place him during King Edward the first and the second ... There is a theory that Robin Hood might have archer in the armies of Roger Mortimer, Thomas of Lancaster and Humhprey de Bohun. I am of talking Despenser war rebillion against King Edward the second in 1321-1322. After the rebels were defeated in the battle and the rebillion was crushed by King Edward the second . A lot od supportes of the rebels were outlawed and fleed in the forrests. And there is theory that Robin Hood might have been one of these supporters . So he and other now outlawed soldiers woud then have fleed into either barnsdale or sherwood(some ballards place Robin Hood in Barndale forrest in yorkshire or Sherwood forrest close to Nottingham ). And if group of professional soldier and archers are hiding in a forrest . You are not gonna go in after them . If you were the local sheriff . Because the guys ate professions and know how to fight . So you and your men might get litte bit hurt . So you woud properbly just leave them . Where they were . And just make sure . That travelers did go in there . Now the first mention of Robin Hood in poem Piers Plowman from the 1370’es. But also Robin Hood might based on another older outlaw from 1200’es . Because English court document from 1261 onword suddenly start call outlaws Robinhood, Robehood or Robbehood as nicknames . So there been a guy or several outlaws that used the Robin Hood . And maybe ordinary people told tales of these outlaws . And in time the tales evolved into the classic Robin Hood ballards and the legend was born

There are stories, even in the time of Rome, of a great forest that used to run near the length of Roman Britain splitting the land, the Romans reffered to it as Magna lignum, Great Wood. The forest ran, aside from certain man made points, near uninterrupted through much of western and central England going through the area that would become Nottinghamshire and continuing north east. The landscape would have changed quite a bit from the time of Rome to Robin, but less so than it has from Robin to now, but I suspect that the Romans were referring to what we know today as being part of Sherwood Forest. The Romans upon conquering Brittania illfully noted that Britain, like Germania, had large parts of the country completely covered in dense near impassable woods. The Industrial revolution thousands of years later and the resulting explosion in population of Britain saw much of the vast British woodland felled for agriculture and urban development. In the time of Robin Hood, however, it would have been possible to traverse up and down much of mainland England without ever having to leave the Kings Wood. Large swathes of the woodland by the 14th century had been manually maintained primarily for the purpose of hunting game, a stark contrast to the mostly wild woods of Roman Britain. Thus the Forest in Robins time was a perfect sprawling navigable territory, advantageous to operate, rove and range right the way through.

I watched this video because I wanted to see what Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest looks like today. I am devastated it looks nothing like it did when it was RH’s stomping grounds. Why couldn’t people have planted some big Oaks there 200-300 years ago? When RH was there it must have been a tangled, twisted mass of wood and leaves. People, I think, lived in the forest, over and under its heavy coverage. It must have been beautiful but scary.

My family hails from Nottinghamshire and the river trent. My great ancestor Gervase De Clifton was Sheriff of Nottingham during the supposed time of Robin Hood. There is a Manor (Clifton Manor) that is almost 1000 years old that I would love to know more about.

At the time of the Norman conquest the term forest didn't mean what it does today. It just meant a large area where only the king could hunt wild beasts. Sherwood forest might have covered a huge area, but that doesn't mean it was continuous trees. My understanding is that circa 1066, England had about 15% tree cover, which was about twice as much as it is today. I should add, none of that was original wildwood. All woodland in the UK has been managed by man to some extent at some point. Neolithic agriculture was extremely inefficient and they needed as much land as they could get, they were so desperate for land they even cleared upland areas like the peak district. Current UK woodland has been shaped and essentially farmed in the past for the purposes of timber production and to provide a source of fuel for people to heat their homes. Checkout Oliver Rackhams Woodlands book for more info.

I have such amazement seeing the layers of time in the towns and cities and natural places of the world. If you live in a place where such things can be seen, treasure it. I live in Florida in the US and have to make do with a town that has little from over a hundred years ago. Our treasure is our huge oaks, some surviving from well before European colonization. Some are similar to your oaks, only, often with long sprawling limbs that touch the ground! I'd love to see the older trees, and architecture and ancient roads of England. I have very little English but our shared culture makes me feel as if I'm seeing home, seeing imagery such as that shown here. Thank you for sharing your history with us here, especially as many of us are e stuck in our own countries as I write this.

Absolutely loved this video. I love all of your videos, but like the top pinned comment, its a nice change of pace. One of, if not my topmost, favorite channel on youtube. You deserve more subscribers and a full production team on "syndicate" tv. Keep it up brother, you are amazing and an inspiration.

Cool stuff. One minor thing though, you used the same clip from the Edwinstowe village for a different village later in the video. Now I'm not sure which one was which.

Shorter vids like this introduce places (and why they matter) to people who don't know about them or who don't have time/patience to view longer ones. So yeah--add the overview type. But don't stop making the longer ones!

I like how you put history into the timeline. I am a USA descendant of William the Conqueror. Can you explain shires? The name of the town sometimes have shires after. Does it mean area or township?

Thanks for this video. A rather different topic. It's sad what we have done to this country, England has really poor biodiversity and sadly I doubt it will ever get better.

The pace of your narration is relaxing and editing and music perfect. This one is especially historical to me, I am a descendent of the separatists from scrooby that fled to holland and then to America, know here as the pilgrims of plimoth.

I really liked it and would like to see more like it. I have one small suggestion. The music comes in too loud. I have my computer hooked up to my big screen TV and there's too much variance from the narrator to the music and it can really boom out. Other than that....it was excellent.

Sadly, all of New England's woods are new growth too, but at least they now see fit to manage the supply. Maybe Europe will come to that realization as well.
