Yeah tons. Had to pick and choose, actually, since there was so much. Most of it, though, is later artistic representations of them.

ryans videos are great!! if your a history buff I would suggest dan carlins hardcore history's Dan has a way of describing history that is honestly hard to put in words. I think you would enjoy it.

Appreciate it, Manu!

+William L. It is so redundant to call Charles, "the Hammer Martel". Martel means just that so his name in English is Charles the Hammer.

we should call him charlie the mallet instead

pandirasbox You're right, martel means hammer. But he shouldn't be named "Charles the Hammer" in english, as George Bush (for example) shouldn't be named "George le buisson" in french

Thanks Andrea! Glad you enjoyed it!

Bring out your dead....bring out your dead! :)

I'll bet Charles Martel is spinning on his Charger over what's going on in Europe right now. I'm American by birth, but love the humor of the country of my ancestors. The Holy Hand-grenade schtick , the Black Beast of Aaaaaa ! ! ! This is the second reason why I love history. Teachers I have had and comedians with a sense of humor they aren't afraid to shamelessly utilize sparking interest and keeping people interested. Keep up the good works, Professor !

I'm feeling much better!

Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.

"what's going on in Europe right now" What exactly is, in your opinion, going on in Europe right now?

Thanks Abby.

Thanks!

Thanks, TC. Absolutely. Essentially I try to make videos that won't bore me and hope that people agree! :)

Ryan Reeves Hi Ryan, Lovely to see your work here as I researching the Merovingians for reenacting. Can you please tell me if the art work at 10:30 is Merovingian period as I want to replica one of the dresses and need to prove my creations are accurate. Can you tell me where to find this artwork or how to verify it please. Thanks in advance :-)

Belinda David i am wondering ... If a decent of the merovingians have the ability to penitrate lacerta home ( reptilian lizard) if so what would happen to that descendant?

+Andrew Marriott mmm They marry them.

i have to watch out. because lacerta / tan cloak reptilian has turned me off multidimensionaly , yet she knows that i am going to turn myself back on. so her minions follow me sometimes along with different agencies. some agencies or should i say different beings like to control others using such technology's as project :bluebird and artichoke,lol they are trying to create super solders that can be easily controlled. But how to remove the control factor. The embeded command such as "The pizza is ready" they do use blank slate technology and different aspects of beta/alpha/theta/delta brainwave programming. sealing in certain types of energy into the body so they can control you alot better. the question is... how to release that trapped energy? it's killing and creating darkness. like a empty shell ... when i was starting to develop my light-body, traveling to different planets , parallel words , dimensions /planes of existence , accessing my own soul matrix.access time/space streamline. accessing multidimensional streamline of all. and other abilities however. it is a must to master my own self before i encounter lacerta again. her group and minions are one of the responders when people have contact/communications of beings that are existing outside or by earth.

+BlunderCity // Yes I think the name of the battle was later changed, but you're right that it's simultaneously known as Poitiers and Tours in the literature. I thought about it when crafting the audio lecture, but went with Tours, as it's the one that's most common. But you're right that Poitiers is the REAL location.

+BlunderCity Yes, you are right - it was the Battle of Poitiers. I live in SW France and I know a lot of the history, which I like to study. Best Regards.

+Adam Mangler _PS_ ... Don't mention the Cathars..!

+Ryan Reeves ca you make a lecture about the sect of the assassins that was formed in persia

It may have changed after there was another Battle of Poitiers during the hundred years war.

Thanks! Appreciate it!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Ryan Reeves just makes them look larger average mammal defence mechanism

Josh Byrnes That explains why hair metal bands are always so boss.

Ryan Reeves lol

***** Well hello cousin, we really should get acquainted on facebook, I also have a page there for Descendants of Charlemagne, I descended from his son Louis the Pious aka Louis The Fair. find me there!!

Glad you enjoyed it.

yes thank u

See this is why I love and cringe when English wonks offer comment. All these are true, but I'll spend my night cursing my southern American tongue. :) I did the lectures live on the mic, so these things are always going to be present. There would have been a greater chance to catch these if I had scripted it, but then it would have sounded more wooden. But thanks for the edits! Always love seeing places where my tongue gets tied. :))

I could not have done nearly so well speaking "... live on the mic." Thanks for the gracious reply.

Neither Gandalf nor Merlin. It's Odin.

Gabriel B Odin actually.

Wotan. Missing one eye.

Thanks, Chris. Glad it helped. My only goal with these videos is to help people with their classes and to learn a few things.

Appreciate the kind words, Sander!

goognam goognws sure there is, brief. :P

tisFrancesfault not at all. The english language is stuffed with 'false friends' words that are taken from the french but whose meaning in english has lost the original meaning.

In Serbian history textbooks, it is even worse. He is called Pipin the Small (truth be told, not many 13 year olds in Serbia care or should care about them, so it is not a big deal anyway). Although I was probably only 13 when we were first thought about this crew, I was kinda perplexed so as to why was he called the Small when obviously he was a sort of a badass. I though this was because he was really short, but now it makes sense. By the way, could Le Bref be translated as The Laconic One?

curt

No offense at all. Have to have a thick skin on the internet. :) I think I was recording that audio at like 3am...that was back when I was rushing to finish deadlines for the videos. Not a few spelling typos or other little things that come through....not that people haven't been able to find them all and point them out! ;)
