Request: You have absolutely nailed the narration, and your delivery of clear concise historical context and evocative easily followed descriptions of the battles themselves are among the best one can find anywhere. I hope having reached this level of quality you will begin to consider exploring the application of different visual elements. Because the illustrations are so similar, I find that if I binge-watch a lot of your videos in one sitting or over a couple of days, my ability to recall visual information associated with a particular battle or series of battles becomes quite muddled. This channel has the positive “problem” of being prolific, and covers a truly amazing range of history. One suggestion might be to experiment with something as simple as adding a two colored frame around the screen that color-codes for time period and region. Included in thumbnails, an element like that might also help viewers pick out videos they are interested in if trying to focus on a period or place. Adding the names of the principles on the thumbnail in a consistent area of each thumbnail, in a particular color for each ruler or general, could also help people find what they want when _The Algorithm_ presents them with a jumbled mash of videos. Another option you could try might be adding different fonts of varying colors associated with informational elements such as time period, region, or faction. Personally speaking, I would benefit from visual marks such as a bright colored marker indicating the units you are describing that persists for longer and brighter indicators of things like axes of advance which persist on screen while a unit is moving and briefly afterward. I think that your current format does well in the visual department ,and I enjoy watching the illustrations tremendously, so I hope you will take this as constructive and that you won’t be in a rush to change the style unless you find something that really contributes. Thanks for all the hard work you have put into the content. I hope you have some time to take a few moments and enjoy the accomplishment. Cheers!

I really love your videos. But I have as a rule anyone who has ads for masterworks I unsub from. It's a really suspect "investment". I know many feel the same way about this company. If you no longer do ads for them you will keep my sub but if you keep them then you will loose me as a sub and I know you will loose others as well.

HistoryMarche > K&G

@@Hello-ig1px Depends, but they're both equally pretty good nonetheless

Masterworks is a scam. Check their ridiculous terms & conditions.

Big thanks to your grandfather in-law for his interest in my videos. It's very kind of you do that for him. Rock on!

that's nice

That's so cute.

Yeah, channels like this are a reminder of what a complete failure most TV is.

That's Awesome bro. I'm so glad for you to be able to show him these things and shows. You are a good man.

As the norse say " do not great with enemies"

Both of you don't have clue ... the more Brutal your actions .. the more brutal the response .. at least that's the northern way

@@Niki-ln5be It's hard, even for a northern man, to respond brutally if he's dead.

Maybe, but if he did that he'd probably lose his head after Lincoln.

The people of London revolted against the coronation of Matilda and she was never made queen, her half brother was eventually captured and exchanged for Stephen and he became king again.

The mini-series Pillars of the Earth gives a very different story.

@@lynx8437 Sounds like a certain Dance... I can hear someone with the initials GRRM.

​@@sjtimmer7 Oh that guy? Yeah he didn't come up with his story. All plagiarized.

Usuper.

So consistently on point; it is pretty incredible isn’t it?

@@ColdHawk Indeed. HistoryMarche, Kings & Generals, Historia Civilis, and History Dose are the best channels of their kinds no question.

definitely best channel on youtube imo

​​@@Irfan87 not sure I'd add kings and generals, they get alot of things wrong and outright paint things in ways they shouldn't, they still make good content, but take things with a large pitch of salt, for me they should stick to made up stuff.

Yes, it does disappoint, if you have standards.

Edit: Unless you get BTFD by your enemy.

Unless you are as demonstrably bad a king as Stephen was. His predecessor and successor had greater respect because they actually held their kingdom in good order, and not the victim of ravening petty local lords.

You can fight like a lion all day, but if your only qualification for the crown is purchasing it and being a decent knight, that support won't last.

@@CommonSwindler you think Matilda was ruler material?

@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl It’s obvious that the imperiousness attributed to her by contemporary writers would have otherwise been called “decisiveness” in a male. She was bold, intelligent, and insightful, but judged her moment badly after Lincoln. She seems to have accepted this and with her withdrawal from leading her forces directly in England in the succeeding years, she devoted herself fully to her son’s claim. Henry II would prove to be the greatest medieval English king, and one simply cannot totally extract his peerless political nous from what was undoubtedly his mother’s influence, whom he often consulted. What’s inarguable is that both Matilda, and especially Henry, stood head and shoulders above Stephen as a ruler.

This happens a few times in the history I've learned.

English Historia is the modified timeline where the bad guys are constantly victorious.

Now britain evaluate more gender and etnicity over actual merit in everything, even army

@@alessandromazzini7026 theres easier and faster ways to say youre a bigot

@@alessandromazzini7026 Yeah, Britain has become a dystopian hell hole. Already seen multiple people arrested for defending their own homes from burglars, even locked up for telling jokes on the internet. It's sad how far they've fallen, once the greatest Western nation, now turning into North Korea.

​@@alessandromazzini7026 I think that applies to most of the Western world

@@alessandromazzini7026 lmao as if gender wasn't a major issue in the middle ages

Fellow Lincolner huzzah :)

Empire angevin 🇫🇷

Look up 2010’s The Pillars of the Earth. It’s about this conflict

Thank you for the support! Very kind of you.
