Two heroes, two different periods: Prince William Augustus Duke of Cumberland, responsible for his role during the Batle of Culloden, and Judas Maccabaeus, leader of the Maccabean revolt.
The Conquering hero refers to Cumberland, not to his soldiers. Due to Cumberland actions this song is impopular in Scotland. And it shouldn't be a surprise since the goverment in the aftermant not only took actions againts those who were Jacobite, but also those who supported the Goverment. Like President of the Court Session, Duncan Forbes, who supported the goverment, dissuaded some Clan chiefs from taking the Jacobite side trough bribes or using his influnce, tried to organize armed resistance in favour of the goverment, said to his cousin in the aftermath of the govermnet reaction: if i were to live longer willie i could only cry with you over the fate of my country.
@@jon9021 There were many in Scotland in 1746 who celebrated the defeat of the Jacobite cause at Culloden. Duncan Forbes was rather more ambiguous in his comments than suggested above, writing that severity was necessary.
Today was my 34th Birthday. My parents and I went to The Guards Museum at Wellington Barracks in London. Before that, we had lunch at The Horse & Guardsman Inn. A few yards from Trafalgar Square.
A majority are from the film ‘Revolution’ from 1985. And the rest are various clips from films and documentaries about the 7 years war, I don’t remember exact names for all of them, but there is a bit from ‘Barry Lyndon’ and ‘The last of the mohicans’
im a cuban spanish nationalist but to deny the this song being a reality more then truth is plain fantasy and britains "worse" atrocity being the bengal famines was caused by japanese naval blockaded it was just wartime measures commited by an outside imperial force being japan.
England is Christ favorite Daughter! May god be pleased with you Sarah! Your Marovingian tribes made God proud noble and clean like Blue and pleasant England!
I think Sir Arthur Wellesley His Grace The 1st Duke of Wellington would be very proud of this song.
He probably heard it since the song was made before he was born.
Thank you.
I totally agree 💯
Thank you very much. x

A great heavenly song by one of the greatest composer on this earth,George Frederic Händel..🇬🇧🇩🇪💫
Rest in Peace to the Melody of Britannia (1685-1759)
And you correctly spelled Händel, not Handel.
@@Mdebacle obv I wouldn't commit that horrendous mistake when he's my favourite composer ever
@@HistoryWorld1826 Beethoven once remarked that "Handel is the greatest composer who ever lived. I would uncover my head and kneel before his tomb."
God Bless The British Army.
The Guards Museum at Wellington Barracks in London.
Another absolute banger from you!🎉
I know eh?! Is amazing the fantastic songs he finds!!
@@AvaT42 couldn’t agree more!

A brass band would play this banger whenever a town got a railway station and the first train rolled in.

Yes, approximately 45% of the Duke of Cumberland’s men were actually Scottish, either regulars or clan “militia”.

@@jonathanoates1298 I see. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Great song
Splendid!

God save our British navy 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I totally agree with you.
YES.
@@robnewman6101 yes
I've been kind of fan of this song ever since i found rule britannia version with this song at the beginning. Rule Britannia from Poland!
Good march song, good king.
Can I ask a question? Thanks
I heard this before Rule Britannia.
I think this is also a church hymn?
"Thine be the glory, Risen Conquering Son"
Wonderful, truthful, poignant hymn.
From Haendel's Judas Maccabaeus.
what movie are the scenes from?
A majority are from the film ‘Revolution’ from 1985. And the rest are various clips from films and documentaries about the 7 years war, I don’t remember exact names for all of them, but there is a bit from ‘Barry Lyndon’ and ‘The last of the mohicans’
Wofle at 2:15?
The once and future king approves this unpaid political advertisment
Tochter Zion Melody 🎄
This one got a downvote becase it celebrates the defeat of the Jacobites.
im a cuban spanish nationalist but to deny the this song being a reality more then truth is plain fantasy and britains "worse" atrocity being the bengal famines was caused by japanese naval blockaded it was just wartime measures commited by an outside imperial force being japan.
Excuse my poor grammar im on phone.

I used a lot of different sources, but the majority of clips are from ‘Barry Lyndon’ ‘Revolution’ and ‘Canada: A people’s history’
