Getting angry about Yorkshire history being incorrect is absolutely brilliant, educational and you make it really entertaining, another great video………..shame that the Moon isn’t made of cheese though
I've only just come across you and I have immediately subscribed! What superb research you've done, on a variety of aspects of Yorkshire and wars on British soil. Congratulations and thank you. LML
Excellent, super interesting video! Just subbed😊. Always been into British history, even before I ever was able to visit. Have family connections (thru my wife) in E Anglia and Scotland (Sculthorpe, Macpherson) and very dear friends in Kent and Surrey. My favorite place to be, however, is Yorkshire. Can’t wait until this Yank is allowed to visit again! (BTW, many years ago, we lived in Canterbury while I was on a teaching exchange. My little sons loved marching around the house to Jon Pertwee singing Grand Old Duke of York!)
It must all be true no matter what you say - it’s Yorkshire history, so it must be true! We Yorkshire folk aren’t known for telling tall tales - are we? 😉
Great point on the Wars of the Roses. It's interesting too that although the war was effectively a rivalry between the dukedoms of York and Lancaster, most of the land held by the respective dukes were actually around the Welsh Marches. So it's pretty weird (though understandable) that today there's such a strong rivalry between Yorkshire and Lancashire.
I was brought up in Whinmoor, and remember my dad telling me about the battle and the 'local' hsitory (he was a regular at the Penda's Arms pub). Thanks for shattering all my illusions and ruining my childhood :)
PROPER FANTASTIC ! .... I live in Croggy (Knightsway and Queensway - which have nowt to do with kings or queens armies marching down them ) and have been dismissive of the PENDAS and WHINMOOR place names for years - every time I have tried to inquire their origins i have found very spurious and non evidential 'stories' . Im glad someone has helped me clarify the FACTS . THANKYOU - YOU ARE AMAZING ! please keep up your fabulous informative work . Zac
Scotland started and finished the Civil Wars. Charles I overstepped the mark with the prevailing Scottish Church and it all went Pete Tong from there. We call them the Wars of the 3 Kingdoms.
She mentioned Bradford where I was raised, she didn't though mention the most damming thing about Bradford, no not it falling from the richest city in Britain to one of the poorest, this is even worse........In the Wars of the Roses, Bradford fought on the side of the House of Lancaster😵💫. Edit: No wonder Yorkshire Cricket club stopped playing at Park Avenue.
awesome i really wanna know more about huddersfield, for loads of reasons, one it was in doomsday book, not considered wasteland, 2, castle hill is a leyline, 3 they found a druid stone head down harpe inge shops when they the dug them up and non one knows where that went! i know cos i grew up there1 anyways i think yr so awesome =) and 4, the teachers never told us anything about it, even tho this history was right on our doorstep!
Castle Hill is a key line? How do you mean? What is it in a line with? How many ley lines are there that it’s not on? Do ley lines really exist? Or is it nonsense based on unverifiable cobblers. Perhaps a historian could give a perspective on your controversial statement?
I live on knotts lane in colne an old fort at the top of the hill is meant to be of same age as the one in huddersfield. Not that much info on Huddersfield around
The red rose was a minor symbol for the House of Lancaster until the time of the Tudors. The Battle of Hatfield took place near the Notts village of Edwin(as in the name of the vanquished king)stowe. The clue's in the meaning of the name. They even found the remains of those killed during church restoration. Now get mad about how Notts have appropriated Robin Hood from his original setting of Barnsdale, on the Great North Road between Pontefract and Doncaster :)
@@CatherineWarr My point is that I think there are possible clues to the location of the battle: "there was also a chapel at nearby Cuckney, now incorporated into (the later) Cuckney church...Nearby Farms called Hatfield Grange and High Hatfield provide another link...Furthermore there is a defensible position for Edwin's army at Cuckney Hill..which is crossed by the old Mansfield-Doncaster road. Finally, the chance discovery of some 200.. skeletons (of young men) at Cuckney Church in 1950 suggests some catastrophic event ...such as a battle". Battles of the Dark Ages by Marren. "Edwinstowe..where there were traces of a cult of (St.) Edwin in the later Middle Ages. A Norman castle once existed on the site of the present cemetery at Cuckney, but as bodies would hardly be buried inside an inhabited castle, it is probable that the remains (of said young men) are earlier. It may also be significant that an area known locally as Hatfield Chase still exists in the vicinity". Offa by Peers. "Edwinstowe - Holy place of St. Edwin" Dictionary of English Place Names by Mills. I hardly need to point out that this holy place dedicated to the martyrdom of a Northumbrian king lies well within the rival kingdom of Mercia. My final observation is that everyone thought that the climactic Battle of Teutoberg Forrest in Germany, where three legions were wiped out roughly 2,000 years ago had been lost, until one person took it upon themselves to find it. That should serve as inspiration, if nothing else will.
Would love to hear you talk at length about ECW. Or WoR. Or anything but rugby (because it's not quite cricket, wot). But I want to buy your book(s), so I will be as patient as possible.
Its a bit late for a comment, but, good on ya las, a spade is a spade no matter who tells you different. Good research uncluttered with local colour.. JC East Yorks
Hey! Was it not De Percy, before the name was Anglicised, and weren't they Norman? They just conquered Northumberland. They're still there now though. Ralph.
Intersting mayb. But you dont explain why Yorkshire was the "center". Was it because it's in the "middle" of the country or because of some other intriguing fact?? 😱
This video is the pinnacle of the internet. The fact you haven't been globally recognised for the work you do is mankind's greatest shame. Godspeed.
Many a true word spoken in jest.
Hatfield Chace.A classy pub on the Doncaster Road. 🍺🍺🍺

OMG. Where have you been my whole life. This is so enjoyable, as are all your videos. Thank you for all you're doing for history on the internet!

You should blow your stack more often, the effect is entirely awesome
You should get channel 4. To replace tony Robinson. On time team ........ I could watch all day. Great job kinky cheeks 👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺
Great video. And once these myths take hold, it is very difficult to counter or correct them.

A'right Love. You've got another subscriber. Good on ya Las!
So... he was "Captain Cooked", really.

Eeee bah gum, Catherine, you're just adoooorable when you're so passionate about a subject!
An angry Yorkshire lass? Never happens! 😁
I enjoyed that . Really good to listen to. Put across very well. Take care and all the best 😁👍
Cool one, I enjoyed this.
PS. Realy like your mums (?) painting of the "Bluebell Woods". 👍😎

Oh great vid by the way!
Excellent as ever, especially when you go off on one around the seven minute mark. Get that first book out!
Even the name "Wars of the Roses" did not actually come into common usage until about 1820.
Another great video Catherine. Next you'll telling us that the black prince wasn't really black
@@CatherineWarr The Environmentally Friendly Prince Formerly Known as the Black Prince. :-)
Informative as always.

Super interesting! Thank you! Regards from Canada
Everyone knows that the moon is made of Wensleydale. 🤣
No! The moon is made of Yorkshire Pudding!

I'm so fed up with ignorant people, still doubting the moon is made of cheese - Wallace and Gromit proved it !!!!
Brilliant video
Brilliant!
What part of Lancashire are you from?
Its a bit late for a comment, but, good on ya las, a spade is a spade no matter who tells you different. Good research uncluttered with local colour.. JC East Yorks
need to calm down abit lol rub the lug moooooosaaaaarrrrrr
I thought the Percy’s were from Northumberland and the Neville’s were from Co. Durham?
Hey!
Was it not De Percy, before the name was Anglicised, and weren't they Norman? They just conquered Northumberland. They're still there now though. Ralph.
Great information :)
Great mythbusting :)
thanl you
Fantastic Video!! ;)
thought you were going to mention Mrs Simpson
Intersting mayb. But you dont explain why Yorkshire was the "center". Was it because it's in the "middle" of the country or because of some other intriguing fact?? 😱
"You don't mention England lost every major battle in the last 25 years, do ya?" Now why would we ever do that?
Next you be saying Yorkshire tea isnt grown in Yorkshire.😅
No argument from me lass.
Have you and Yorkshire had an argument Catherine lol
:)
