A fisherman "aquires" a part of the haul, then the hue and cry goes up. Thinks, "Can't be found with this..." The next day, "Ooo! Look what's caught up in my nets!"
Edward ruled an empire from the Ireland to the Pyrenees. a formidable warrior and king .... sadly, his son was somewhat less so. the real story was a LOT more interesting and crazy than whatever the hell Braveheart movie was about. :D
The entire revenue for the kingdom 30 years prior was 40,000 lbs and he stole 100,000 lbs!! England's tax revenue for 2023 was over 788 billion. I'm guessing that two and a half times more than that has to be slightly more than really good health insurance here in America.
Once the treasure started turning up in odd places you'd think discovering the hole in the treasury wall would have been the very next thing to happen if there had been one..even if it had been filled in after.
Excellent lesson on the crown jewels. Something I did not know until watching and learning. Thank you. As it is, I am back to London shortly and will into all you mentioned. History does repeat sometimes....
East Minster, I learn something new everytime I watch. Thanks History Guy! Id like a vid on the History of London. Esp. historic place names that are still in use
100,000 pounds in 1303! To give one an idea of how much that was in the medieval period, let's look at Dover Castle. When it was built circa 1180, it cost just over 7,000 pounds. So there you have it. 🧐🧐
I love it, London was ever thus, suspicious amounts of jewels and precious metals find there way to market. Everybody looks the other way. Did they get an inflationary bubble afterwards?
The crookedness and corruption is still rampant today. The Megabucks loss-making Royal Mail is being sold to a Czech billionaire for £ 3.5 billion. Who benefits? It certainly won't be the British taxpayers.
Happy Friday! I am wondering if this is not the origin of the special status of the City of London in the evolution of finance and securities as capital investment and the "adventuring" (read piracy, because what's a good story without pirates?) aspect of the British Empire as opposed to the plodding and resourceful mercantile infrastructure of the Dutch Confederacy. Medieval commerce is marvelous to behold.
Well I have to hand it to Richard public Hot that he was able to stand up to all the torture he must have gone through without revealing any of his compadres
Jewels are pretty rocks. Thats it. Maybe of some science value but mostly shinny things for rich people. Can someone explain to me why they have more value than clean air or clean water or good food or good health?
There are alot of really really old coins you can buy for $100 or less. Even Roman coins 1000s of years old, i thought they would be more (of course some are) this video make me look ha

He was caught with 2000 pounds of booty on him? No matter whether "pounds" means a measure of weight or a form of currency, and no matter the intended meaning of "booty," this is an improbable and amusing image.
Even if I could, why would I pass up advertising dollars? But I always suggest RUclips premium. It is a fair cost that avoids the ads. It is better for creators as well.
I don’t mind throwing a some here and there I’m a patron of Isaac Arthur and a few more of the like. But every time I look at your channel it’s . Political in one way or the other it’s annoying. Can you contact youtube about the types of ads?
@@Jameson1776 the ads are not tied to my channel. Not everyone gets the same ads. Adsense actually customizes them to you, and for some reason, thinks that you are a good target. If you are a viewer, you know that I am not a political creator. But, again, this is my job. I cannot afford to shut off ad revenue. It would be frankly stupid for me to shut off political ads in an election year. I do have to pay my mortgage.
They're not "required" to make shorts, but the reason they do, is that it helps give exposure to the video and the channel, plus it will help push your content up overall with the "Almighty Algorithm."
The shorts are intended as teasers to bring people to the video. The short will catch some who missed the original video. I did not prefer that RUclips chose to go with shorts. But they did, and it would be foolish of me to ignore them.
@@TheHistoryGuyChannelIt's quite the needle to thread. The algorithm is very fickle about how it effects new exposures. Most people who watch the long form will skip the shorts and most people who watch shorts will skip the long form. It ends up reading this as disinterest from both groups and tends to squash new engagement. Several creators have seen a drastic drop off after starting to use shorts and then a gradual recovery after the stop making them.
@TheHistoryGuyChannel When you say "I didn't prefer that RUclips chose to go with shorts . . ." Did you mean that they make the shorts and you sing off on it? Or do you still have to "make the shorts yourself, but feel or felt that you were somewhat forced to" at the cost of extra time and effort in the production process of each video, I suppose, but do you feel that the whole decision was "forced upon you by the platform itself, and the way that the "Almighty Algorithm" is configured, would otherwise have left you at a major disadvantage with your competition, over time?"
@TheHistoryGuyChannel I apologize for my overly verbose communication style. It's just the way I am I suppose, mate. I do TRY to keep a lid on it, but the more I want to "keep it in" the more it just keeps gushing forth . . See what I mean? Hopeless, bloody hopeless!! . 🤣
Seriously irritating babbling commentator speaking far too fast - whats the hurry? there's a lot of information to digest. To find out what the squeaking babble of the commentator is saying by reading the subtitles is just as annoying because you have to read and listen at high speed so I had to switch it off - would like to have seen it all.
THG doesn't cover current events, and I think most of the viewers appreciate that. Hopefully he's still making videos decades from now and he might cover it then.

Glad I'm not the only one.
@@christiangibbs8534 not even close! Great line Lance!
Don't feel bad. I didn't even get it.
I really like these true crime stories.
Found in a fisherman's net and found in a ditch has the same feel as "it fell off a truck"
I love stories about these Middle Ages, with their kings and rogues and terrible art. Thanks teacher. Good job as always.
Have a great weekend history guy n see ya Monday!
Can't wait!
A fisherman "aquires" a part of the haul, then the hue and cry goes up. Thinks, "Can't be found with this..."

How did a fisherman afford to buy a cup of gold?
My guns were lost in a boating accident
Thank you.
Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to class.
🙃
Ever since the ERB video years ago anytime Longshanks comes up the line "How'd ya get beat by a dude named Longshanks?!" pops into my head.
Good morning from rainy Ft Worth TX History Guy and everyone watching
Morning, from rural Brazos County!
Good morning, I wish it were raining here; we're in the middle of a mega drought!
Good morning from Southside Ft Worth
Afternoon from Cincinnati, 70° and mild. I hope your wet weather doesn't flood your home Ft.Worth
@@MBMCincy63 Thank you. Luckily no flooding in my neighborhood...

The movie taught me that you DO NOT want to be “drawn and quartered”!
History - Truly a Journey Down The"Highway of Wildflowers" so apropos!!
What a deal....Thank THG🎀
This would make a wonderful "whodunnit" complimentary film to Braveheart - almost with an ironic comedic twist.
Using the Bank of England inflation calculator, £100k in 1303 is £109 million today or $138,900,000.
back in thev12th century money was measured by weight, so doesn't directly translate
The entire revenue for the kingdom 30 years prior was 40,000 lbs and he stole 100,000 lbs!! England's tax revenue for 2023 was over 788 billion. I'm guessing that two and a half times more than that has to be slightly more than really good health insurance here in America.
Thank you History Guy
Pissed up, licencitious monks, quite a lot of medieval history can be summed up that way. I'm a great believer in my "pisshead" theory of history.

Yes, it was a massive amount. Roughly an entire year’s tax revenue.
Always a good history yarn. TY
Excellent video on a fascinating historical occurrence. Thank you!
That would buy a lot of mead!

That's.. Oceans II .🎉
Taking something back that longshanks stole to begin with is not a crime. 😂
Love your videos
Would the treasury under Westminster Abbey be the world's first CRYPTocurrency?
(Sorry!)
Lol
Yep, that was too easy
No matter how you look at it 2000 pounds of booty . That's a whole lot of booty to be shaking !
When one gets booty illegally, one gets the hell out of Dodge.
Some men never learn.
Police responded to a reported burglary at Tesla’s robotics lab.
It was an Optimus crime.
He transformed into a CyberTruck, went full self driving and landed in a ditch.
AI deployed the airbags & called AAA

Was it a robbery or a burglary? Seems to have been burglary.
