Agree. I love learning what daily life was like for ordinary people.

It's so much more than that - focusing on all that is what makes it boring for so many people. If they're going to focus on generals and presidents and battles, then they need to examine what was going on in the world at all levels and get into the leader's head - *why* did they make that decision? And then tie it back to what's going on today: are there parallels and lessons that could be drawn? What ramifications, if any, did a given decision have that we still live with today? (For instance, if Henry VIII hadn't decided to get it on with Anne Boleyn, how would that have changed subsequent English and American history?) And to get into the heads of the leaders, stuff like this show is really necessary. It's not enough to read about it in a textbook, and while not everyone can or wants to get out to a working Tudor farm to understand what that's about, getting a look at how they interacted with the world around them gives context to some of the ideas we've brought forward from them - and helps us determine whether old ideas really are worth keeping in a modern context or not. History can and should be used to inform us of the backstory to the world around us: if all we're focused on is names and dates and famous people, we're truly doing ourselves and our kids a disservice.

@@DeborahRosen99 yes well said, trouble is with government public school system was setup and designed to bring up shoulders and worker bees not thinkers and doers. With out going to deep down that rabbit hole, that's why if you could afford it your send your children to private schools and or if you were smart enough and wanted to keep your children out of the evil hands of government schools you'd home schooling

Same!

You were taught to pass a test. This is what it’s like to be taught history.

I had a good history teacher. We had events every month where we would do themed things like a toga party while we were learning about Rome. Special dates in history like December 7th Pearl Harbour was attacked, we attacked the other history class. We crumpled up paper and walked across the hall and bombarded them. He was an ex football player over 6 foot tall and probably 250 lbs of muscle, he held the retaliation attack off while continuing his lesson alone by leaning against the door.

If he was a teacher when I was in high school, I'd have showed up to class!

We got lied to through our history books in school about alot of things.

My 9th grade European history teacher made class interesting like him. I did well in his class.

Totally agree! Maybe more children in schools today would be more interested in learning.

King Henry was a fatso wasnt he? Im glad he cant hear me.

😂😂real

They didn't make this documentary! I hope they are paying royalties to the original copyright holder...

@@stevemundy4511they did actually, in the description it’s stated that this channel is an official part of the history channel

@@graybird8444What is any of that supposed to mean? 'The History Channel' did not make this video...

@@stevemundy4511 I'd be surprised,the History Channel is doesn't come close to productions like this

@@willynaylor7356 Just a bunch of toffs waltzing around in puffer jackets...

This guy is Sir Tony Robinson

What about the souls of the French sailors who also died in the same battle?

Thank you for my freedom

Thank you .

+ ReneenayFabulous You cried over a dog's death, which was sad, but you have no sympathy for an innocent man who was boiled alive? Get help, ASAP.🤦🏾‍♀️

@@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934 ummm, I don't recall saying that. So, I won't respond to your attack on me over something I never said. But, do have a nice afternoon.

@@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934 If it makes you feel any better I would always feel more sorry for a dog than a human. People deserve to suffer, animals never do.

@@liesdamnliesandstatsweird1934one does not exclude the other…

Something stood out to her and she decided to write a comment about it. In no way does mentioning that one thing indicate how she feels about the dozens of other things that were touched on in the video... and I don't get why you would think otherwise.

Another around 1:17:00

You tell them...

I dunno. I’ve seen a few who were hung. And well. 😉

David Bowie was hung. Check out the pants in Labyrinth.😂

that's an American education for you, we weren't fully taught our own history, let alone any other country's, at least at my schools, I was lucky, I love to read and travel, so I was able to learn a lot on my own, and I am addicted to documentaries, and love listening to people talk about subjects they're fascinated with [ I'd watch documentaries and ted talks I'd watch one of these on flour or rubber if the filmmakers or speakers, as well were in love with the subject] so I learn a lot that way

English history that is...

​@@24get24giveto bad the videos and documentaries you have watched are all from a progressive view point that most probably had very little facts

If I was a man during any time in history, I'd have married Ruth. That woman can do anything, and what she can't do, she can learn. Ruth is competent with a capital C.

Lets not forget the irreplaceable Mary Beard and Susanna Lipscomb!

You just listed my favourite Brits !

He needed to get whacked by the mafia of that historical period.

Lol 😆

Nah he was fine till he fell off a horse and hit his head. Probably a concussion or other head injury

Have you discovered Time Team yet?

He was reincarnated as Trump, complete with syphilis.

Well the past may be writing out the future - we have to monitor our water usage - wash clothes on short cold cycles at night and grocery shelves are emptying and hospitals can no longer cope - let’s pray 🙏

@@annabellazsanctuary yes praying is needed for humanity.

Always

🙄🤡

No it’s not, dogs are the best people

You must be one of those people that feels that because a dog is less intelligent or useful than a human that it doesn't physically suffer as much.

And you know.. was only a puppy, and was sold to those people, and still probably gave every sailor on that boat a moment of happiness...

As far i know, they were well known. No one wanted to live near them and they has the most problems getting a wife. As Tony pointed out, they were the lowest of the lowest. Often the daughter of one executioner married another.

Me too!

Your story about Miss Crankshaw reminded me of my fifth grade history teacher, Mr. Peacock. He had a yardstick (Canada was still using imperial measurement at the time), with his name "Mr. Peacock" written in marker along the length of it, and he would swan around the classroom with the yardstick behind his head, across his shoulders, and with his arms looped over each end. At times, he would throw chalk at unsuspecting daydreamers, but he was well loved by the students for his antics, and for his love of history.

😂

Honestly my favorite part of this series is watching how history was made by the salt of the earth. All the glory of kings and emperors built on the grain the ordinary people grew

@@Sassycrabs Well, friend, good govts. are like good businesses - everyone has a certain job to do, from janitors & farmers, to CEO's & kings. Problems arise, though, when those involved forget that the business/govt. can't be successful, unless all rely on each other, & do their respective jobs properly.

@@cdfdesantis699 but nobody eats if the farmer doesn’t do his!

@@Sassycrabs Indeed, all must do their respective jobs properly.

That is horrid

Humans are brutal.

I'm in Manitoba Canada

In a way, they did. They left for America and fought a war for their independence from the crown. But I do understand what you’re saying.
