A new style of video. Let me know what you think, and if you'd like to see more.
I rather enjoyed making this video. It was a real change of pace from the usual long form documentaries I produce. Would you like to see more videos like this one where I visit historical sites?
For those hardcore history buffs out there- don't worry. These ‘History Time Live’ videos won't detract from the usual long form documentaries I produce.
Those guys take months of research, writing, and editing and rest assured I won't ever stop doing them as long as I can work.
I'm off to Denmark tomorrow to go Viking, and finish off a bunch of scripts.
The next ten documentaries are going to be the biggest and best I've ever produced. I can't wait to share them with you guys.

When I was a kid you could walk inside the Major Oak and it was all still plain woodland with no man-made paths and such spoiling the look of the place. Necessary precautions but a pity. Wonder what they'll do when the tree finally falls down, especially when they cut down so many oaks everywhere else. We lost dozens near my town (not far from there) in the last decade alone, some because idiots kept wrapping their cars around them, many oaks that were centuries old are just sad stumps now.

@savvageorge 5 жыл бұрын

Not sure if William saw this tree but many other royals probably did visit here. Nottingham was the capital city of England in these days and Sherwood forest was the playground for the rich and wealthy. King Henry II and his sons Richard Lion Heart and King John built a hunting palace in Clipstone only a couple of miles away from the major oak and they regularly used to spend time hunting in Sherwood Forest.

Yes, I would love to know more about the ‘Bodger’ more specifically. The man or rather vocation that did preserve or rather help along these old forests of the old. Their disappearance has been a fascination of mine now for some time. The woods fell and the bodger went into oblivion. The makes of a truly great bit of history. It is past due time for the return of this man of the woods. Without him, these woods may NEVER return to their once glory. A feat yet not impossible in this day, and one worth the undertaking.

What can I say my friend? The trees, the charming roads and villages? All were memorable views of a place and time long give, but still hanging on to small remnants of itself. It gives you a glimpse of something much greater. Those forests and woods must have been awesome. Watching from the State of Georgia in the US, I get you captured so many things. Being a fan of English literature it reeks of many stories and tales. It also captured the feeling of Tolkien. The adventures written of the great ring quest captured my imagination in 1972. I grew up here in the South playing every sport and game, but my imagination lived in English forest and field. Pathetic isn't it? Thank you for the presentation. May God bless you and yours.

I have seen Białowieski park narodowy(Białowieża National Park) and the biggest Polish Oak(Dąb Bartek) i don't remember how big it is of the top of my head but the Sherwood one should be bigger. I don't think that the polish one is naturally grown. It was common practice to plant an oak tree on someone's grave. Dąb Bartek have lot of history to it, kings have rested underneath it or even hid stuff in empty parts. Like I said once before I live close to Vistula so this region of Europe is close to me.
