The Battle of Evesham & Death of Simon De Montfort 

I just wanted to see if he forgets his name!! Joking!!!

Same 😊

😂

Usually, yes, I smile 😊, but when it's a murder story, I often say, "Ew!", and especially when corpses are treated horribly. So, this video gets a thumbs up 👍, but also an "Ew!" 😮

Me too!

He is an actual history teacher. The lack of tenure is a bonus; you know he’s in it for love of the field, not for fame or fortune.

x100 better

Yes sir, and it amazes me how much i used to hate history in school, but when i watch it like this its fascinating. I think the difference is Mr Kevin actually making it real and not just drilling names and dates. It also helps that he looks like a grizzled veteran who fought in the battle of Agincourt 😆 just kidding, Kev

10× better mate. My history teacher had about as much charisma as a garden verity lettuce. Also had about 3 or 4 mini nervous breakdowns in the short time that I actually attended school, was a proper drip 🙄 I mean we were little b@$t@rds like, but I'm sure Kevin would've got us back inline 👊🏻😂

@@Richard-fv7rq I said 10×, but I think you're more close to the mark tbh pal 👍🏻

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. - Acts 3:19 If you’re in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna/Rpc, Urcna, or a canrc church (These are conservative and actual Presbyterian churches) If you can’t find one of the conservative presby churches then, maybe a Lcms Lutheran church. If you are Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC. (Different from the Church of Scotland) If you’re English I recommend the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England & Wales and the Free Church of England (Different from the Church of England) Also online you can look up church finders for each of the groups, it will show you locations

They were noble and brave - and ended up all dead. In other battles there was no murder or revenge at the end. Remember the battle the year before when Simon's trroops were too honourable to attack the sleeping enemy? The other side had no such principle, and the ruthless side with no principles won.

How lovely, I’m guessing that you’ve been to Goodrich then 👍

@@thehistorysquad Aye! And watched your vid on it, and we ended up sharing some thoughts in the comments at the time! You films take me back to a happy time as a child, who adored history lessons. Never did very well in tests, because I had no ability to remember dates with great accuracy! One of Mrs Griffiith's lessons on the Plantagenets went differently one day. Must have been an anniversary, because on the blackboard on chalk letter a foot tall she had written WARSAW, and under it in much small cursive was written "saw war." Then we had the history of the Nazis and Soviets destroying the city for six years. That quietened us down. My first history lesson on the twentieth century. Mrs Griffith [called Miss Griff] was a great history teacher. best I ever had, and she taught us to read books from the school library as much as listen to her, and even ask questions as a result. She could always answer them and would even suggest further reading. This went far beyond any official syllabus, and it was not only me she stirred fervent interest in! She formed in me at least [in my class year] a lasting interest in history - all history [except Ancient History, which remained mysterious to me until much later]. A great and inspirational teacher, and a very kind human, though she could be ferociously strict in the old school way if someone pushed her too far. Thanks for you lovely films. Like retreading and consolidating an interest of more than fifty years. Thanks and best wishes from George

Going straight from visiting the battlefield to delivering ice cream gave me delightful whiplash. 😂 I love that this history is so present in your life, that’s really cool to me.

Wow, thanks very much, I'm glad you've been enjoying them 👍🏻

I came across the channel in the same way and totally agree. There are so many videos on subjects/people that I've never even heard spoken of before.

I especially like all of the props...wether genuine artifacts, reproductions or custom made pieces. They make the videos more interesting.

Thanks. @@AWGragg007

@@thehistorysquad You're welcome.🙂👍

Ah how lovely of you. There's a deep rich history in Louisiana that I enjoy exploring. 👍🏻

Sorry about that sad chapter in our history. Regards from Canada 🇨🇦

Always a pleasure Dave 👍🏻

That's amazing! Any other info? Where is it now?

Thanks so much, I'll keep going as long as I can, it helps keep me young 😜

Cheers buddy 👍

😂

Oh me too, for sure 👍

And you still have so many years to learn.Im right with you mate Love History

Yes. History comes alive,but have to admit the bloody battlefield events stand out.Those long,wooden lances were the knight's speciality.Mounted on their chargers.They remind me of the Greek & Macedonian armies with their phalanx.

A pleasure 👍🏻

Must've been amazing serving in the Royal Navy when it still WAS the Royal Navy ❤

Glad you like them!

One of the most impressive fighters at the Battle of Lewes was Philip Basset. He refused to yield while he could still stand, and the time he was brought down he had taken twenty separate wounds. He recovered, and did the whole country a great favour by helping to negotiate a peace treaty which was fair to all. At the time of Lewes he was in his mid seventies. De Montfort, incidentally, was recovering from a broken leg.

@@user-eg5fr3xl6m Leonidas was in his 60's when he died, I think that we forget how much more physical than us, people of the past were. Unless you were forced to do some kind of back breaking labor that would really cripple you, or have a condition that could not be treated, you could always compensate what you lacked in youthful energy with your extra experience.

Who does this benefit if it's over three? I love the tale, fact recommendations m8! Thanks!! 👍

That's very kind of you Dave, I'm glad I can help your nights pass more quickly 👍🏻

Thanks, will do!

Awesome! I’ll bear it in mind. Thank you

Who's castle?

@unbearifiedbear1885 it's a state park called the castle ruin park. I don't know anything else about it.

@@ruthblakmageit’s called ha ha tonka castle and was built by a rich family in 1905.It was then used as a hotel in 1930 but destroyed by fire in 1942.The state then purchased in 1978 and it was used as a state park

Glad you like them! 👍

Braveheart is a shocker, about as historically accurate as Mickey Mouse. Last of the Mohicans is a tremendous films though, whilst The Last Duel is enjoyable and based on a true story.

Many thanks!

Thanks, I just like to share the history that interests me. 👍
