I know that these long videos are hard to make, but on behalf of everyone, i want to say thank you for making them. It's great to see a series gathered together like this!
-
"Charles I kept falling into traps that he had layed down himself". Cant remember where I heard this but I feel this sums his actions nicely 😂
-
I watched the individual episodes but, I swing back for the complete series. You know a social studies teacher is using this in class while they grade essays.
-
Cromwell is the embodiment of “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
-
19:33 that was my ancestor Jenne Geddes who threw the stool at the vicker when she cried "De'il gie you colic, the wame o' ye, fause thief; daur ye say Mass in my lug?" meaning "The Devil give you colic! The hide of you! (lit. "the belly of you") False thief! You dare say the Mass in my ear?"

Thank you to all the staff, the editors, scriptwriters, etc. You guys are preserving the love of history and knowledge at large

I was impatiently waiting for this compilation. Thanks you so much ❤️😊
-
how the monarchy fell over the years facilitating for the democratic ideas to take hold of england: 3 hours 22 minutes. how the entire revolution ended with the monarchy restored: 1 minute. just magnificent.
-
This was my favorite era in Colonial American history. Massachusetts Bay colony had a surge in population at this time in English history. Like a mass exodus.

2:30:22 "The artillery is stuck in a bog somewhere" - Mike Duncan of Revolutions Podcast, on the role cannons played in the English Civil Wars.

This has always been an area of history I’ve been unfamiliar with but this documentary has really helped me grasp how Cromwell became a leader and the end of his regime.
-
I’m from Worcester (there is a fantastic little civil war museum called the commandery) it’s great to see it mentioned! Also lived in a small village between Bristol and Bath for a few years so seeing Marshfield (fantastic ice cream there btw) etc was also mad. Love the videos as always!!
-
A big thank you to the hard working and intelligent members of K&G for these long uploads, especially when this form of early industrial warfare is intriguing me so much lately!!
-
Best history documentaries are on YouTube channels like this. Nothing as good as this on TV anymore
-
Due to this being Charles I's birthday you couldn't help but see the appropriate timing.
-
My family comes from the Scottish border reivers that raided both sides of the border during this time and before. This documentary hits home!
-
An underated period of history! Always wanted to know more about this time 👍
-
I'm so happy you included the Battle of Worcester in this film! Thank you for listening :)
