Thanks for very interesting analysis of Robert Cecil. I am particularly interested in the plots of 1603 where James owes a huge debt of gratitude to Cecil for prosecuting the perpetrators, (and Raleigh who clearly wasn't guilty - but it suited Cecil and James to behave as though he was.)
You asked for it, Boggs 👊
Doing a deep dive study on him in relation to one of his manuscripts. Guy was more important then ppl realize.
Robert Cecil is my 14th great grandfather ❤
It was walpole!
Hi my first time watching about robert Cecil he is my 12 th great grandfather
"Behind every great fortune, there is a crime" Balzac . Acquired a big stone huh.

Are there any descendants of Robert Cecil? My family are from the CookIslands and we have tracked our family tree connected to this man. My family still carry the Cecil name. Currently in New Zealand
The Marquess of Salisbury

thank you for this video! The history of the parliament in the 18th and 19th centuries is very interesting
Who else is here because they are related?
Me
👋🏼
As a direct descendant of the Earl/ Lord Yarborough, a member of Parliament, I have an undying interest in learning more about him. I do know that he was married at Burghley House and was the commander of the Queens Royal Navy Yacht Squadron . His home was the Brocklesby Estate .I hope that there would be enough public interest that you could post something about him if you have enough information to do so. I live in the U.S.A. but my dream in life is to visit England and Brocklesby. Thank You !

Please fact check at 1:49. Christopher Poole was second in command at the green, the countess was 3rd. Check the Irish military archives that were published over the last decade.

Sincerely, this channel deserves millions of views. What a great video. Thank you

Doesn't this all sound too familiar, even today, the Tories Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill 2021: is designed to quash our hard fought rights to freedom of expression, freedom of speech and freedom to peaceful protest.
By chance, could you cover the 1672 iteration of the Royal African Company?
Someone knows what does he say from 2:43 to 2:57? I really don't get it
Sorry I might be a little late but basically the magistrates used the Riot Act to deem it an illegal assembly. Any gathering of 12 or more could be deemed as illegal. So in hope to prevent the assembly they used the Act in help to stop it but it only delayed it. It was not so much them were calling the election illegal but rather the gathering of it.
@@linkjoestar8924 Thank you very much :)
The editing/narration/information in this video is so well pieced together, how has this channel not blown up?! lolllll
where did jias comment go
Good evening, Speaker Lenthall is an ancestor of mine. If you put a photograph of Speaker Lenthall, and my Grandfather next to each other, they are dead ringers. Another point of information that you may wish to hear, is that every first born Son has to have the middle name of William. Thank you for a great video!
@@frankowen6883 I've only come back to this video as my younger sister was asking me about our family history for a school project that she's currently working on. So, I apologise for not replying to your comment sooner. You're right to mention the art collection, which was known as the Lenthall Pictures. I believe that the vast majority of it was sold off to an American collector- typical! I found what you said about your Mother absolutely fascinating! Did she ever take any photographs of it? I presume not, however, there's no harm in asking.
Thanks
