Henry Curtmantle didn't stay in one place long, he was always on the move. His reign was long and eventful. Good to see you bringing more knowledge of what happened on the Northern Borders during Henry's time.
Thank you! I am working through topics and people! Just writing a script while checking the comments. I will be filming on Thursday and have pleanty more coming up!
Cheers from the states! I really enjoy this Northumberland history. My paternal grandad's side is from alnwick and durham. As far back as I can trace. Keep up the good work!
Great video. I would like for you to do a video on the Good Sir James Douglas. Since the English called him The Black Douglas, I would like to hear about his raids into northern England and how he affected the outcome of the war.
Will we be hitting Richard 3rd at some point and his impact on the North? (Proper north) Great to see you focusing just on our area, we’ve got so much history that is just ignored.
I would love to but he's a bit further down the list! I am just working on a script on the Border reivers as I reply to comments, but I am sure I will get there eventually! I often say I would have been on Richards side!
@@AlexIlesUK Yeah totally agree with you on that, clearly a northern thing supporting Richard I think 😂 Look forward to the Reiver content, wasn’t long ago I visited the Armstrong museum/tower
@@sorrysirmygunisoneba you are knowledgeable enough to have seminars on northern English history I’d love to sit and learn from you about northern history
Interesting. I only read about the Plantagenet rule in France. This also helps explain why Edward I took against Scotland the way he did. The royal families had issues between them.
Really enjoyed watching your videos especially this one, as I am descended from the Lords of Tynedale. My ancestor William Featherstone married Mariotta, daughter of the Lord of Tynedale. William's older brother Helias, built Featherstonehaugh Castle near Haltwhistle. I think you would call him a Border baron, maybe even a robber baron? I would be really interested to hear about Edward I and the Scottish wars. I believe my surname came from one of the Welsh longbow men who were taken by Edward I to fight the Scots and also another ancestor of mine, Sir John Skelton, was close to Edward, an equerry or something like that? He was a relative of the Bruces, who changed his name because he wanted to remain loyal to Edward and England. He was Lord of the Manor of Skelton on the East Coast of Yorkshire, near Saltburn. You are helping me with my ancestry research.
Well, I'm a human being, but my surname is apparently french. I've done my family tree on all sides and have family from all parts of the British isles.
Are you Tyneside based? I'm speaking this Friday: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/north-east-research-showcase-society-of-antiquaries-of-newcastle-upon-tyne-tickets-988766024797?aff=oddtdtcreator
