Very interesting and I really agree with the appeal he lays out. I loved imagined worlds from the sci fi and to a lesser extend fantasy real and directed that interest into worldbuilding towards real history. It's he same appeal, just with the extra layer that these things actually happened and you can still visit many of the places, see many of the structures and even read first hand accounts occasionally.

Bill browder is a con man

some can answer me ? is Fern Riddell lesbian ?

I was in New Zealand a couple of weeks ago visiting my Mother in Law. I took her to the local library so she could change her books and I went and had a look in the library's Military/War section. There I discovered Will Iredale's The Pathfinders. I got it out on her library card and finished it before I came back to Australia. A bloody good read, especially about Arthur Harris's opposition and underhanded politics/shenanigans to the formation of the Pathfinders, the development of target indicators and the nav aids. I have found a copy of Pathfinder by Air Vice Marshal D Bennett at a local museum library so that will be the next cab off the rank to read.

One of the biggest similarities between Putin and Hitler is that they have both been funded by international bankers to carry out their plans... that doesn't preclude other politicians of the world from similar funding too, it's just that the same funders control the media and would rather turn Putin into a bogeyman in the press, and forward their evil plans, than let the people of the world see the real truth...

I had no idea this is what they looked like.

Number of nails made in a certain time is one, dependent on the size of nail being forged and two, the experience of the smith. By the 16th century French nail smiths were forging one heat common 6 penny nails at a rate of 1500 per day.

It's abhorrent to witness the feeble attempts to whitewash the blackened legacy of King Richard III of England. To suggest that his atrocities were merely products of his time, or that they were somehow justifiable, is to engage in a dangerous game of historical revisionism. Richard III was no mere product of his era; he was a monstrous embodiment of sadism, duplicity, and cunning. Even in a dynasty known for its lack of grace, distinction, and humanity, Richard stands out as a figure of unparalleled malevolence. Comparisons to other despotic monarchs, such as bad King John, Henry VIII, or Charles I, only serve to underscore the depths of Richard's depravity. Let's not mince words here: Richard III was a usurper who seized the throne from his own flesh and blood, his young nephews, Edward V and his younger brother. He callously condemned them to the depths of the Tower of London, where their fate remains shrouded in the chilling mists of history-a history tainted by Richard's bloodlust. To add insult to injury, Richard had the audacity to legitimize his own claim to the crown by fabricating allegations of illegitimacy against his nephews. This shameless power grab, carried out under the guise of legitimacy, serves as a stark reminder of the depths to which Richard would sink to satisfy his insatiable thirst for power. Regicide, the ultimate betrayal of trust and kinship, stains Richard III's legacy to this day. The mere mention of his name conjures images of the vulgar exercise of power, fueled by the ruthless wielding of weapons and the merciless pursuit of dominance. It is high time we cast aside the rose-tinted glasses of historical relativism and confront the ugly truth of Richard III's reign. To do anything less is to dishonor the memory of his innocent victims and perpetuate the cycle of tyranny and oppression that has plagued humanity throughout the ages. Richard III was not a product of his time; he was a tyrant, plain and simple-a stain on the annals of history that can never be washed away.

8 or 900 degrees centigrade? Centigrade was not invented until a couple thousand years after the Iron Age ended. ...and four heats for a nail? 😣 fun to watch though

porque ? me gustas tanto ..i love you Fern

It’s a brilliant read, highly recommended.

So even the philosopher who was persecuted by his own non-Christian government was persecuted by the Catholic Church. I am glad to have this cleared up, I thought (from reading them) that scholastic philosophers in the west were completely indebted to Ibn Rusd and Ibn Sina, even if they disagreed with them about some important doctrines. Now I realize that the scholastics completely rejected the Arabic philosophers, so science really is just a product of European thought. All of those quotes by Aquinas of Averroes and Avicenna were just a smoke screen.

Thank you for sharing, very informative. Is anyone aware of any organised pilgrimages ?

Tampon Charlie and his Camilla shag now king and queen. What a joke!

Why was Guy Burgess allowed to be buried with his family in England after his traitorous behavior? Seems to me he should have never been permitted to leave Russia alive or dead, by UK proclamation.

Nick, I just watched my first episode of History Buffs! Loved it! Since Robin Hood isn't a true story. They figure, what the hell! They'll do what, they want with it. I don't mind watching Russell Crowe for 2 hours! I'll check out your Gladiator and The Last of the Mochians episodes!

Wow great video well done

This really is a great exhibit. Because women everywhere need their voices heard.

weight control was what pulled me away from falconry and it needs to be proven wrong

I love her presentations in both her books and documentaries. Had no idea however that she was so prickly highbrow.

Extremely interesting. I didn’t know about the blood bread.

Please keep all her work going on..her soul will want it. Wherever she is would anyways keep working for people.. and spreading unconditional 💕 love.

Finally justice prevailed. Divine intervention ❤

Why would you have on a witch to talk about a saint? Conflict of interest, eh?

A good discussion but why mention Jews only tangentially?

Thanks 💜

Superb exposition from Dr Wells. And she barely broke sweat hiking all that distance on her tod no less.

I did not realise the term anglo - saxon had racial conottation. In the UK it is purely a historic term. The other term is the use of the term BCE and CE. More prevalent outside the UK

My favourite book is the one he wrote about his his travels around south India . Check it out, a book from the heat

Wow great find !! i guess like many of you, I feel he has been the teacher I always wanted at school and never got. . Countless wonderful hours listening and watching his amazing works. Thanks Viral History !

The Normans abolished slavery, but they instituted serfdom. Potayto, potahto.

Interesting sharing, Estelle. I was blessed to have an extremely knowledgeable professor of British history during my college years of the 1970’s. He spoke much about Elizabeth I, and what you are saying lines up with his insights.

😢

The Edwardian / post-Edwardian drama, the old series of Upstairs Downstairs from the 1970s was done accurately because (a) the mothers of the writers Jean Marsh and Eileen Atkins had been in domestic service, and (b) Angela Baddeley, who played Mrs. Bridges, could read through the scripts and eliminate all the expressions which came into british English during the 1940s with the arrival of the Americans.

Hallie is right about presenting period drama. That's why my husband and I stopped buying the Downton Abbey DVDs. It's a 2010 political agenda (feminist/anti-empire) put back into 1912-1926. Also, some of the lexis / vocabulary chosen is just too modern for that time. Examples include 'chill pill' (2000s youth slang) and 'learning curve' (1990s corporate speak). Just ridiculous.

Such a brilliant and truly lovely woman... like going back to 1536, oscillating back and forth through that century in such incredible detail and articulation...😊❤

Knew a chap whose uncle flew with Wally Rose DFC, in his Pathfinders crew, and earlier, in 460 sqn. Sadly brought down over Berlin. A question over the possible murder of several crew members who were known to have landed okay. I have added 3 aircrew to the list of murdered/lynched surrendered air crew in Germany, in the last 3 or 4 years. They can still be found and added to the record.

Never stop having Suzanna Lipscomb she is the absolute best!!! Absolute brilliant historian I LOVE HER!!! She knows her shit. Keep bringing her on she will teach us all!!!

FAIRYTALES!!!!

Properganda.

Fantastic. I’ve been following your blog. I’ll order your book.

Bravo to Andrew Lownie for taking this on.

Even if I listened to Michael Wood wax lyrical for days beyond number and I'd still find him riveting. Such knowledge and intelligence coupled with a wonderful voice. His Legacy series completely seduced me to the fascination of history ancient and modern. May he keep us entertained and educated for many years to come.

I have so much respect for this man. It's great to hear him talk.. on any topic!

I like richard iii!
