Emperor of Ireland | The Life of Brian Boru

Рет қаралды 26,053

Жыл бұрын

Ireland had "High Kings", known as Ard Ri to the Irish, from the 9th Century AD. However, these were typically ceremonial titles, acknowledging the most powerful king on the island. Brian Boru changed that. The twelfth son of a petty king, Brian Mac Cennetig suffered greatly at the hands of Vikings and Hibernian alike. It was this suffering that fueled an unprecedented rise to power. Brian Boru went on to bring all of Ireland under his command, cementing himself in history as the first true King of Ireland.

@@LoreLodgeHistoryHutThat's all true. But I think most would like to see the author introduce the video, and then show film or animations of the areas and people named. Handy History uses animations and portraits which makes it much more visually appealing and knowing what the people named looked like makes it all more personal and real. I really think these changes would sustain viewership better than anything else.

Brian Boru was from County Clare... I like that the voice over is a clip of Pine Island in Connemara (County Galway) 😂 And why Irish uses weird combinations of letters? Irish orthography is derived from the Latin alphabet which was used in Irish and while writing Gaelic script. For an English speaker, the Irish alphabet can look the same as the Latin alphabet but is pronounced differently. There are 18 letters in the traditional Irish alphabet: “a b c d e f g h i l m n o p r s t u”. A great video! I really enjoy your channel!

I love the history segments in the Lore Lodge videos so I finally came over to this side. I hope you keep adding stuff to this channel. I’d love to see more pre-Colombian to modern history on the peoples of the Americas going region by region. It’s a lot and you’d have enough content for years and I would be more than happy to gobble all that info up. That’s my two cents.

I finally decided to check this out. I know I'm late to the game, but I really find your history segments on TLL exceedingly interesting. I had never heard of Brian Boru prior to this video. I really love your segments on Native American history, so more of that is always welcome to me. But, really, there's so much history I'm unaware of. I wish my professors/teachers had presented history in the same way you do, made it more about what happened and why that was significant than about memorizing that an event occurred in 763 (or whatever date), then something else happened in 842, with no indication of why I should care. Thank you for igniting an interest in history in me.

I am a direct descendent of Brian Boru's older brother Mathghamain (I think that's how it's spelled, I'm probably wrong lol), descended from the Del Cais from the North, later settling in County Cork. Myself, I'm of Australian descent, after having an ancestor sent here in the 1840's for "machine breaking". My family name is Toomer.

You should do one on Sigurd Eysteinsson who treacherously brought 80 men riding on 40 horses to a 40 on 40 agreed upon battle with Máel Brigte the Bucktoothed. In victory he attached Máel Brigte's severed head to his saddle bag and while traveling home the bucktooth got it's revenge and cut Sigurd on the leg causing an infection which killed him.

1:24 it's because it is a non-latin language written with a roman script but it is only roman shapes not necessarily roman sounds. Give them their own script babes, make a conlangscript (bc conscript is already a word), even if it is based on roman characters. Change em up a bit, make it look as different to roman as greek & cyrillic Can't wait for more of this. I like history but it isn't one of my things & I don't know a lot of it. Excited for more. btw do you have a PO box?
