I'm a Muggleton, descendant of Eakswyth, wife of Alfred the Great. Your video spelt her name differently. Her father was King of Saxony with whom Alfred cultivated a friendship, making him an ally. Vikings liked Alfred's leadership where he commanded that viking prisoners be treated with respect. His granddaughter Eaydth married Otto the first if Germany. Rotten Cromwell destroyed the grave if Alfred and Ealswyth, ordering the church to be destroyed, and for a prison to be built in its place. Alfred's bones were tossed out and found in a parking lot, the DBA confirmed by comparing the human bones to Eaydth who was intact in a cathedral in Germany. I welcome finding out more. History is full of intrigue, murders, evil plots to gain power, and as Tony Robinson said, finding the true bloodlines to the English throne leading to Michael Hastings in NSW, there is no Divine Right of Kings. The present royal family is illegitimate due to King Edward 4th being the result of his mother's affair while Her husband was away at war. Kings had to be of royal blood and not born out of wedlock. This is a huge scandal and a very long story.

@@ogladaczr.t.3168 There is plenty of young princes who died before their fathers. None had the potential, the ambition, or the intellect Black Prince possessed. And no heir dying prematurely had cost his country this much. With the Black King England might have gone on to win the Hundred Years’ War, Richard II would have turned out differently and the War of the Roses would have been averted entirely.

Something i always find interesting about Edward I (who is only mentioned here in background) was that bloody man as he was, extinguishing the political independence of Wales among other feats, he seemed to have a very loving and intimate relationship with his strong Spanish wife, who was a powerful force in her own right. They seemed to work very well together, and she bore Edward many children, and helped ensure stability within the kingdom while he was so often away campaigning.

They had many great warrior kings richard the lionheart. Henry V. Edward IV. and even Shakespeare's great villain king Richard III. here is the account of Richard III final battle. Richard led a cavalry charge deep into the enemy ranks in an attempt to end the battle quickly by striking at Henry Tudor himself. Accounts note that King Richard fought bravely and ably during this manoeuvre, unhorsing Sir John Cheyne, a well-known jousting champion and killing Henry's standard bearer Sir William Brandon and coming within a sword's length of Henry Tudor himself before being surrounded by Sir William Stanley's men and killed.

I don’t remember much from middle school, but I very vividly remember a day in history class when we were getting our first intro into medieval Europe. The Black Prince was brought up and a classmate asked our teacher what he did, teacher replied “No idea.” This teacher not knowing the answer to a simple question on something he was supposed to be an expert on literally changed my life and sent me down a path that led me to become a history major in uni.

It is a fact that nobody running business puts their best man in as a foreman....it's usually just someone that doesn't perform too well with machinery or on the bench so they get put out of harms way in the office.....someone with a bit of knowledge is required to do the watching, why take someone off the shop floor who is more productive there......office people are called chair warmers or armchair warriors where I was. On the other side of the coin you get the factory owner who employs cheap low class labor and employs someone with some knowledge at a high pay rate to do the hands on training of those that came into the factory on the broom.......they don't usually last long as once the work force is on stream they get made redundant and someone they trained gets made up to foreman at a much lower pay rate......it almost happened to me but I saw it coming and turned the job down.

That’s mind bogglingly interesting . I live in the black prince’s winter garrison about halfway between Limouges and Poitiers. The castle has mostly gone but there are a few houses inside the walls and towers built from the remnants. I know the French attacked , there was a massacre and the survivors were driven over a wooden bridge into French owned France at Abzac .thé bridge was burned behind them. The castle has been repaired and destroyed numerous times during the 100 years war. I believe it started life as a Roman garrison on the Salt Run . I had trouble getting my head around the black prince coming up from Aquitaine whilst the king of France had an obvious English name. I’d love to understand at which point in the story this happened and if it was his knights garrison or if he stayed. There’s another castle just up the road at St Germain de Confolens .. i wonder where that fits in as well …

Researched many figures on my varied projects and the damage by paid writers on the truth of historical events is there to be seen by all. Independent accounts on the varied battles so a vast difference in the events that unfolded perhaps due to the position they stood politically or physically in the battle. Numbers always vary again depending on which side said observers and chroniclers saw their futures best served. History is about understanding and investigating all the accounts and not judging those who lived in very different worlds with modern eyes but through their eyes it is very difficult but perhaps the fact the plague was a devastating realty during the Black Princes time period might strike a cord with people today dealing with the impact of the Pandemic. The Black Prince remained supportive of his associates and tenants during the dark years of the plague his sister among the victims of the virus...

@motorcitymangababe 3 года назад

@@Baileaf11 problem with that is no one knows why he did it or what the reasoning behind it is and all the evidence points to him being aware of the white walker situation so its probably more complicated than just "abandoning his wife and eloping with lyanna" which btw hasnt been canonized in the books yet and we have no idea how elia feels about at the lyanna situation. In fact we have everyone but her feelings on the matter. Considering shes from dorne where paramours and bastards are accepted chances are he had her approval or apathy- we just dont know. And without more information beyond second hand accounts of family members who were traumatized cgildren idolizing him and his bitter enemies and no great people either no one can really say anything about him other than he existed and was the flashpoint that sparked an inevitable rebellion. Thats what makes him interesting- that hes so influential but such a mystery.

England was defiantly the most powerful kingdom during the 14th and first half of the 15th, which is a massive accomplishment since its population was so small compared to others, I think you can’t blame medieval kings and princes for their savagery it was how it was back then and the people loved a war time leader like him, it was the same with roman emperors. If you don’t any many military accomplishments it largely decreases your chance of holding power.

No, the kingdom of England was just a piece of the Angevin Empire which in modern perception was more French than English. The hundred years war was a conflict between two houses, the Plantagenet and the Valois who both originated in France, so the question is when did the French Plantagenet become the English?

@cobralord4279 4 года назад

Fabianus The Angevin empire ended when king John died loosing most of his lands, it’s normally considered from there on the Plantagenet line became English with Henry iii but the English upper class mostly spoke french until Henry viii

@@antoinemozart243 Outstanding data, but I must admit I have not had the time to research his life, nevertheless what you say maybe true but as far as him not being a successful king is pure speculation, we can never know because he died. For example people believed that Bernard Law Montgomery would have been an outstanding officer when in fact he was not, as proven by "Operation Market Garden" and other notable failures. He did well in some areas but failed miserably in others. Another such individual that was supposed to rise to fame was General John Bourgogne but his arrogance was more than he could handle and he gave the American rag tag army a huge victory at the battle of Saratoga thus giving Ben Franklin the ability to bring France into the war. I'm sorry but no one will ever know whether he would have been a great king or not. I stand corrected on my belief that he would have been a great king. I cannot make that assumption as well.

Thats based off the accounts that describe his mother Phillipa. She was said to be swarthy...Philippa was the daughter of William of Hainault, a lord in part of what is now Belgium. When she was nine the King of England, Edward II, decided that he would marry his son, the future Edward III, to her, and sent one of his bishops, a Bishop Stapeldon, to look at her. He described her thus: “The lady whom we saw has not uncomely hair, betwixt blue-black and brown. Her head is cleaned shaped; her forehead high and broad, and standing somewhat forward. Her face narrows between the eyes, and the lower part of her face is still more narrow and slender than the forehead. Her eyes are blackish brown and deep. Her nose is fairly smooth and even, save that is somewhat broad at the tip and flattened, yet it is no snub nose. Her nostrils are also broad, her mouth fairly wide. Her lips somewhat full and especially the lower lip…all her limbs are well set and unmaimed, and nought is amiss so far as a man may see. Moreover, she is brown of skin all over, and much like her father, and in all things she is pleasant enough, as it seems to us.”

Fascinating as the life of the black prince was and as much as he tried to fallow the chivalric code it bares remembering that, said code literally only applied to how Noble's treated Noble's. Commoners were not considered to be of note in the world of the nobility, and therefor many Night's could be said to fallow the code to the letter and still rape rob and pillage and commit war crimes aplenty. Im not saying the black prince did necessarily. However most Noble leaders of the time were mass killers, hell most leaders of countries today are. More so then, because they led from the front. A fare share of today's US leaders have hardly seen a battlefield, and I think disassociate themselves from the acts of war they order, because even the few who served were either not front line officer or bomber pilates who don't see the atrocities of war up close. To glorify history with out understanding it correctly is what has lead us to where we are today.
