The English didnt invade Ireland in the 12th century. The Normans did. The Normans invaded England prior to Ireland and the Norman Royals refused to even speak the English language

Brian's brother's name is pronouced "Mah-gowen"

I hope y’all come back to this, I love this.

Greetings! I am a current History PhD student, former high school social studies teacher and a Disabled Veteran of 20 years. BA in History. MA Ed in Curriculum & Instruction. Research is my life, lol. Please let me know if I could be a part of your team!

Dang, great video but I feel like I got here late! Hope you do more asap, (especially about Ireland) :)

Youre missing the importance of the church as the cornerstone of his power

DAMNIT! Hadrian was my favorite emperor. I know things were different back then and we shouldn't judge by modern standards but damnit, that's a hard one to look past. Screw it, Hadrian no longer best emperor, Trajan back to best emperor.

Brian Boru is a mountain to stand up to the Norse Gaels or Vikings. They have been subjugating the entire world for 2 centuries

Does anyone really expect Hollywood to get anything remotely correct? Anytime I see 'based on a true story' or anything along those lines I figure the closest the movie is going to get is that a person by this name lived at some point and that's all that is correct.

Thank you for this lesson. My last name is Hogan and during my research I found out that I am related to Brian. Such an honor💚Fight til the end

I just found this.

Great interesting video! Would love to see medieval German content, King Ludwig (who also had a mysterious death) although honestly I’ve found all your content interesting. I enjoy longer content 30 min plus ❤

Just catching up on these videos when I have the time. I really wish this series had taken off. I learned so much.

I have a suspicion that the Irish mispronounce their own names too, they just hide it behind the excuse of their wacky accent.

Briaín Borúmhe was not the first "High King" of Ireland. There were earlier high kings. He was the first high king to be annointed "Emperor of All the Gaels of Ireland".

We need native american stuff!!

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’m living just 5 mins from the battle of Bealick where Brian became king of Munster. Very special area.

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.

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? I just got a book & I want to see if I can send it to you. ps smokey holes I just figured out by reading "ard ri" that roi like king is the same place the word royal comes from how did I not know this

1:06:29 "Algonquian tribe singular" I mean ig I'm not the historian so idk how things are classified 1:11:50 if it makes you feel any better I didn't notice

I'd like some Bronze Age history videos!

Documentation is crushal for that

Especially if there was wars between clans

I have a question if there was no documentation why no start one especially if if there will br a battle makes no since

I'm currently reading Lion of Ireland (you showed a picture of the cover around 9:30) and even though only halfway through the book, Brian is so, so fascinating.

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.

It's rumored my people to send from Brian baru my grandfather Got someone to look into our heritage.And she said that we descended from brian beru

And then it wasn't monthly.

Thanks KZfaq for making youtubers I watch make 15 channels. Definitely want their content all spread out.

As an Irish person I can't follow it, everything is pronounce so horribly, of course that's not you fault but Idk wh you refer to in most of this

think its a bit weird to say the english came in and took over...it was normans who took over what was england. henry 2nd was duke of normandy when they invaded ireland. so it was the french, or norman viking french that took it over. i think they only had like few 100 men set sail from pembroke in wales. seemed pretty ridiculous but wasnt til henry 8/liz 1/james 1 that it resembles ireland of today and u can say english took over

Ancient Irish Ruler's were never called Emperor or King,Lord ect. They were called Chieftain's.

So so you wanna talk to me...must be a tricky task a quest of epic proportions to get that arranged since our offices are so distant in London. Walking distance 3 minutes? How did I pass by there last year? A couple of dozen times? I hope the coffee is better than in May at BoE.

Steven got to go.

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.

You guys are knowledgeable beyond my wildest dreams about mediaeval history and warfare, but surprisingly lacking on knowledge of heraldry. You should do a deep dive into heraldry, it is insanely interesting. One thing in particular i would note is that your coat of arms had to be recognized in most cases,for example by the College of Arms in England or the Court of Lord Lyons in Scotland. They would grant you, literally, the right to bear arms. Doing so without permission up until the 17th century was a criminal offense. The King of Arms, Herald, Officer of Arms, or Persuviant would hold Visitations where they would walk into the houses of nobles and landed gentry and determine if arms and title were being used legally. Some parts of central Europe allowed for Burgher Arms, but generally had rules as to what they were and were not allowed to depict

Bro why in the fuck do u have 6mins of dead air leading into all your videos, I like the videos but all your podcast episodes have it and its stupid

I love irish history I hate Americans sharing it tho

I have a request. After you cover king Arthur, you should cover William Martial the perfect knight

This was a fun and interesting video. My husband and I are fans of your Lore Lodge channel. Keep up the great content!

Brian was actually the first Irish king to be called Ard Ruire ('high king-over-kings' in English, Ard Ri is a later appellation). The reason being it meant he was the king over all other Irish kings. And it's not a minor thing. All five kingdoms of Ireland were regarded as individual kingdoms. The Latin lists actually name them all and is the first time Niall Noigallach (Neill of the Nine Hostages) is mentioned as the king of Hibernia, along with his son Daithi (say it like Dah-hee). Niall was the last pagan king of Ireland, though the extent of his rule was nebulous. He probably mostly ruled Ulster. You do nice, but your pronunciation of Gaelic names is dreadful. We have a very different language. Germanic pronunciations sound so strange.

Milk Master Mattis
