Ten Minute English and British History #11 - King John and the Magna Carta 

Ten Minute History more episodes the better! O really look forward to these!

please can you do a video or two about elizabethan england (drakes circumnavigation, john hawkins, their parliament, the golden age etc)

yay

What about history of other countries (Italy, Germany, Greece)?

Ten Minute History you forgot the book recommendations in the description !

that's what I thought as well!

Mike Spearwood it's what they thought me at uni, so im pretty certain of it.

Yup, though I presume that once he lost all his french possessions, they resumed calling him John Lackland.

His loss of Normandy gained him the nickname 'softsword', so they were probably calling him that. (he never lost all his french possessions)

>His loss of Normandy gained him the nickname 'softsword', so they were probably calling him that. Eh, probably a mixture of both. >(he never lost all his french possessions) I could've phrased that better, I meant all the territory he lost to France, but not necessarily ALL his territory in France. (He still maintained the duchies of Aquitaine and Gascony)

mankytoes Instead of being King John the First he'll be known as John the Worst. A rhyme I heard in Disneys adaptation of Robin Hood featuring animals.

There’s still no Henry IX or Stephen II...

Oh wow. He’s my direct ancestor

Mrs. Enys I doubt it

@@mecha7419 Stephen was nearly as shit as John was, honestly. His entire reign was defined by a poorly managed civil war

I'd like your comment but it's on 66

I am the senate!

Zachary Durocher it's treason, then *does a literal 360 corkscrew spin towards Master Dacacar, Master Hutch, Master Durocher, and Master Grymbald*

Are u sure? You sound crazy

Pure gold comment

You’re slippin Jimmy!

What..

lol!

Classic John

He abrogated his jus prima noctae for KFC ( King's Fried Chicken ) 😛🍗

john reeally was a pimp

He didn’t demand - the wife of the noble offered.

There's bigger profit in war than peace.

and the King of France is called Louis

@@nuggetella sadly true.

I’ve noticed that in history a high number of people do die

@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 Depending on the period of history, it is usually 100% that die.

Elementary Bass Or just because of his... soft... sword... ... if you know what I mean. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As crazy as this sounds, we kind of owe a debt to John. If he and then his son Henry had not lost Normandy and Anjou, then their would probably never of been focus on the growth of Middle English in the 13th and 14th Centuries (i.e. The Hundred Years War) and the English Speaking world today might instead be a French or Latin one, with English relegated to a minor language on the verge of extinction like Cornish or Manx (spoken on the Isle of Man) or at the very least, English would of taken longer to gain prominence or of been relegated to a regional language like Welsh or Scots Gaelic.

I was dying at that LOL

LMFAO

So funny

That’s what happens when you act like a unchristian tyrant. ;)

The King of England was not addressed as HM until King Henry VIII and that was after 1534. Formally it was his grace.

HE DEFECATED THROUGH A SUNROOF

NEVER

history all ways surprises me

Thats just too good

Damn portals!

pretty sure that he thought that Magna Carta was a rare Gwent card.

and Rick sanchez

If only King John called Saul.

This is the moment John became Heisenberg

WHAT is this about??? Totally confused.

it's about the hit show "better call saul". on season 3, episode 5, a significant season antagonist gets proven that his "illness" is a mental condition and not a physical one, thus proving to be "crazy" of some sort. enraged, the antagonist goes on a rant and the comment you replied to is the exact wording of the rant.

@@veramae4098 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understood that reference

The Suicidal Muffin you cant kill "lesser races" on mass for your ultimate plan Germany! Germany: hold my wienersnitchel

Beautiful

Last time I checked this video it was a 3-0 for France

you cant make an empire with the ENTIRE Mediterranean! Italy: hold my wine

"you cant expand too big" turkey: hold my ayran, both of them

I guess there aren't many mutual fans of History Matters and BCS

As if I could ever make such a mistake!

lol

Not the only one man, I based my English speaking off his older British Empire videos and ended up with a distinction. TMH is a ledge 10/10

ikr

Which had an immediate effect on the rope industry that was owned by Baron Stringfellow and led the third Baron war.

Fast forward to present times it's called "Double Jeopardy" our society is STILL tied to this document!!

He was later given Ireland but in name only as English at the time only ruled Dublin

One after Magna Carta

As if I could ever make such a mistake

never, never!

DapperMoose !!! Yep!

I just noticed that, glad I wasn't the only one

He was later given Ireland

Amalot Much more than today though as a percentage of income.

Richard the 1st bankrupted the kingdom for his ransom.

My general opinion is that John was dealt a bad hand with much of the failures of his reign being a result of Richard's failings. The expensive wars and the ransom meant that there wasn’t much money left for John to go to war himself, plus I wonder if the reason the Barons were so unruly under John was in part down to the fact Richard rarely set foot in England, leaving the barons in charge. So essentially they had grown used to having the power and didn’t like the fact they suddenly had a king actually taking interest in his realm.

Yeah but people actually liked Richard

@@Man_United_USA Depends what you mean by 'people'. To the English, Richard's first language was French, he was an absentee king spending most of his time in France or the holy land, visiting England only when he needed more money to fund his wars. The narrative the he was a popular king was formulated long after the medieval period.

I am NOT crazy! I am not crazy... I know he swapped those numbers. I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. NEVER! I just - I just couldn’t prove it. He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn’t have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He’ll never change. He’ll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn’t be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a lawyer? What a SICK joke! I should’ve stopped him when I had the chance! …And you, you have to stop him! You…

Grunf No please!

Ok boomer
