Hey... thanks for the reaction 🙂
Why am I even surprised to see you here? xD
Cool you found this
Glad to see content creators thanking others using their videos as opposed to just copyright claiming them.
@@TheDarthranc0r I usually only see copyright claims when someone tries to make money off anothers video. Luckily at least on the historical side of things it doesn't happen all that much if at all.
UsefulCharts How Do You Make Those Family tree charts? Only Asking Because I Have No Idea How You Do It!
I’m actually from Hastings, it’s cool to hear people talk about the history of my town, since Hastings has never really had anything big happen here outside of 1066.
Oh don't be so sure. There was the second battle of Hastings in 1964, between mods and rockers. ;)
Especially since that actually happened in Battle 😉😂
lol, cool!!! :)
I don't know, Liam. You were born, and that was pretty big. I'm American. You're a huge deal over here. ;-)
At least you're from the real Hastings. When I was a kid, my mom's parents lived in the US state of Nebraska, which has a lot of small towns named after places in England. Thus, I grew up thinking that the Saxons and Normans somehow traveled across the Atlantic and half of North America to fight for the English throne at Hastings, Nebraska, and that New York was named after the town of York, Nebraska! XD
Queen Elizabeth II is immortal every time we say God save the Queen she gains an extra year to her life 🤣

@@gamerwidowyt7759 He's obviously not talking about Philip because he was never was set to become king. I believe he's referring to Prince Charles. Also, you spelled Philip incorrectly.
@@gamerwidowyt7759 I think (not sure) he is refering to prince Charles. He will become King when the Queen dies.
I have watched most of the videos that you are reacting to and I cannot thank you enough on how much more satisfying it is to have someone give more insights on them.
OMG King George V looks EXACTLY like Nicholas II. and I only know that because of your videos!
They were almost twins, same blue eyes, same beard. People would mistake them for one another in formal events. They were really close too calling each other Georgie and Nicky. It must've broke George's heart to not grant Nicholas asylum during the Russian Revolution.
Yeah, like twins. It sucks that his Prime Minister had to take the fall for King Gerorge V’s decision…
You should check out the other royal family trees. Even though it might not be your speciality it would interesting to hear your thoughts nonetheless.
Habsburg one is funny as hell. From a certain point on they are basically going parcour all over the map while still making sure to only marry themselves.
Visit Arundel castle if you come here, one of the biggest and possibly the oldest castle in the UK. Parts of the keep are well over 1000 years old and it's the most picturesque place. Like something out of lord of the rings
26:45 Some quick context on why you can have a ruling king with a queen for a wife, but a ruling queen has a prince consort, in European feudalism the female titles were always assumed to be lower in rank than their male counterparts. This was important because for the purposes of rulership, everything hinged on one person being ultimately in charge. Co-rulers, as he said, were vanishingly rare.
I love seeing this channel grow you have really been booming these past few weeks and months. Keep up the great content👍
OMGGGGG YESSSS Been following that channel for years, he is just so soothing and so satisfying
Dude this channel only exists since about one year
Ah yes the gaming channel we all love then you are right and honestly he deserves way more subs them he has
@Croatian_gamer [SGE007] personally I thought she mean Useful Charts
@@timothynoak5967 same
I love Useful Charts and it was so awesome to hear this extra context behind all the names. I hope you react to more of their videos
Useful Charts is a really good channel, it’s great 👍
For those who don’t know:
He explaines things really well and his videos are always interesting. From gods to kings and things in between, this guy does charts about more or less everything.
The consistency is uncanny, keep it up!
Useful Charts
is a brilliant channel, so glad to see you react to this!
I havent heared of this channel before but im very happy i did now! And this mutch details of the line of English Kings is Amazing! Im enjoying it so mutch thanks for making the content ❤️
When you have a passion for something and know a ton of things makes a really good video EVEN better. I really enjoyed how you filled the gaps the original "author" left out. A glorious video, loved it
Keep up the great work :D
In year 5 I visited one of king John’s favour castles on a school trip and we found out that he died due to eating peaches and cider, the peaches had only recently been discovered and John wanted to be the first person in England to ever have them but because of the long journey to get to the castle they were rotten and mouldy but he ate them anyway. Got dysentery and died.
The information you add during the reaction is very interesting. Keep up the good work!!
Ah yes, the uncle of the infant king trying to control the kingdom.
Makes me want to watch Warring States Oversimplified again.
Confucius shakes his head in disgust at this behavior…😢
I have this poster. LOVE it! Helps so much when watching British history documentaries.
Hi history guy, New to the channel and loving it, I really like the HOI4 Content too. I look forward to looking over your videos to further progress my knowledge on history
Thank you so much because of you i startet studying history much more intense then before and i realy discovered a passion and after summer i get to go to a university to study Roman history
I owe you so much
Hey! First comment. Love the channel! Just a quick note though, on the Viking invasion and Harold Godwinson. You mentioned it was Danes that led the Viking army, while it was infact Norsemen, led by the Norwegian king Harald Hardraade. Just had to chime in as the Norwegian saga of Kings is near and dear to my heart, and in particular Harald, as his death in many ways signaled the end of the Viking age.
Also, you are absolutely correct in that Harold's brother joined the Vikings in the fight. In fact, he is the one that persuades Harald to invade England, to exact revenge on his brother for sending him into exile.
i think he probably said that, or got confused, because back then the english called all norsemen danes
This one was great. I love getting the added knowledge from you.
Would love you to react to falklands war oversimplified
P.S. massive fan of the channel amazed at how quickly this channel has grown keep doing what you are doing
You should have a look at the Irish history. From the Easter rising, The war of Independence, the civil war. All happened in such a short amount of time in Ireland
It was George Orwell who said that there was more royal blood descendants working in the inns and fields of England than in the House of Windsor, simply because the medieval kings had so many illegitimate children. One statistician reckoned that in a room full of 100 Englishmen, 80 would be descendants of Edward 111, because he had so many children. That means many Americans will also be descendants of medieval English kings.
It's true! When I started researching my ancestry in-depth a little over a year ago, I found a staggering 132 claimed lines of descent from King Edward III through 7 of my 8 great-grandparents (the one exception being a great-grandmother whose parents were both Danish peasants who emigrated to the US as teens in the 1890s). Even assuming that some of these claimed lines are spurious (everyone wants to be descended from someone famous), the sheer number of them and the widespread nature of the lines argues that at least some of them are valid. To put things into perspective, I'm an American from the Midwest, and all of my great-grandparents and more recent, and all but three of my great-great-grandparents, were born as US citizens. There also aren't any strong family traditions of our being of royal descent. So if it's true in my case, how much more so for those whose families never left England?
My grandmother on my dad's side kept a lot of the genealogy stuff from that side of my family for a while and I was able to find out some interesting info from her when I had to do a family tree project in 7th grade back in middle school.
Being from York, PA, right across the river from Lancaster, ive always wanted to learn more about the war of roses but never got around to it.
Just for an accessible pop-history light read, Dan Jones' book (imaginatively titled "The Wars of the Roses") is a pretty good introduction to the topic.
Great videos! Thank you so much for your work. And yes, you should definitely watch Outlander! Diana Gabaldon’s research is astounding 🥂
This was actually a good combination. The original lays out the family tree quite well, but didn't go into detail much. I found your elaborations (annotations?) about the whys/reasons some of the shifts happened very useful.
I am a bit curious about the shift back and forth between patrilineal descent of the throne and allowing children of both genders to inherit.
I would love to learn when it was one way or the other, and why the changes were made. Also curious if the shifts came about mainly/only due to political/religious reasons, like that shift were it didn't matter that the throne was inherited by a woman or a foreign prince, as long as he/she was a protestant and not a catholic.
7:49 everyone is related to each other if you go back far enough
your videos usually drop between 12 to 3 am in my time but i stay awake every night and watch them, that's for your great content 👌

>As of this recording, Queen Elizabeth is currently in her 68th year on the throne
She's waiting till next year to go out, I know it, she would totally do it on purpose.
Isn't she in her 69th year on the throne? February 2022 will be 70 years she's been Queen.
I am so pleased at how this channel has grown!
33:23 He should definitely go by Arthur the 1st :))))
Love the bits about Alfred, Edward and Aethelstan. Especially after watching Last Kingdom.
Oh will you get a kick out of Oversimplified's "Mini Wars #3 - The War that Changed the English Language". Excellently covers the events leading up to 1066 in what is now classic Oversimplified fashion. I know you'll get around to it eventually, but may as well give you a heads up.
I just started with genioligy ( dont know How its spelled)in my biology class and its really interesting and i hope you do more content like this
Genealogy
Have you heard the Horrible Histories Monarch Song?
I think you'd like that one!
Good video, but the viking invasion was a norwegian invasion led by Harald Hardrada (from Trondheim, Norway) and his vikings.
Well, I know this was 3 years ago but I have watched this again as had forgotten some of it! Best wishes from Sussex!
Unless Jane Seymour did something horrible like cheat on him, I imagine Henry VIII would have remained with her. He would not want to jeopardize his son's legitimacy.
Really enjoy your channel
You have taught me so much and I love it
The wives are so much more than 'divorced, beheaded, died, divorced beheaded survived'
Another excellent watch thanks..
Its great that you're reacting to 1 of my favorite RUclips channels
Love your vids!
Always amazing to see the circle that is the royal family tree
My 15th great grandmother was named Mary Beaton. She was a friend on Mary Queen of Scotland. She also was there when James l and Vl be born.
19:38 Henry VII was a legitimate decent of Edward I through his son Edmund
I've seen/read claims that the wife of William the Conqueror, another Matilda, was a descendent of a daughter of Alfred the Great. That daughter married a Count Baldwin, and from that union, another Count Baldwin, several generations later, had the daughter who married William I and was the mother of Henry I.
Your knowledge is impressive sir.
R.I.P Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark
I just bought the poster because of this video. My mom is going to love it!
Anne Boleyn is my 24th great-grandaunt and Queen Elizabeth I is my 1st cousin 25x removed
My ears perked up when you mentioned the Greenhill family, from Birmingham.
My sister married a Peter Greenhill, from Birmingham, back in the '60s.
@32:17 George V was also the Duke of York as well. After his older brother Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale died, he became engaged to his brother's former fiancee, Mary of Teck.
I didn't know that trivia about Edward the Confessor pointing on his deathbed, but I wonder if that's a hidden joke in The Death of Stalin that you mentioned recently. Great movie, but you see the actor point... At the maid. Everyone dismisses it and the race is on.
I heard from somewhere that the greenhills were once kings and emperors…
It's all literary fiction but I think you would probably like the "Pillars of the earth" book by Ken Follet.
It's framed in the events after the white ship sunk and the years after with Stephen and Matilda. There was a mini series adaptation of 10 episodes a few years ago.
5:02 it was not a coincidence that it stayed within the family because even though they were elected they did have to be from a certain family
Absolutely loved it!
7:46 i know this is true but it gave me a good laugh
With the passing of prince Philip last week, and your extensive knowledge of the Royals, I was curious whether or not you were going to post a video surrounding the royal family tree.
RIP Prince Phillip.
Question to go with my comment. Have you ever met a Maltais before?
Thank you and keep up the great work👍🏻
Great vid !
I’m loving this channel and am very interested in history. If you want a good read there is a book on Amazon called “Why” a true ww2 saga of Dutch resistance” by my great grandmother.
Me and my family done some research our self and we found out that our name surname stems from the Irish family of the o’dougans or something like that. They were a family in the Middle Ages that were basically above the law as they claimed to be descendants of a drewid who supposedly put a plague on Ireland, killed John the Baptist, turned people into stone and flew in a flying machine. Sorry for it being so long of a comment but I thought it was a interesting fact about my family history
Wondrium has a good Great Courses series covering Britain from the leaving of the Romans to 1066 William the Conquerer.
30:04 William IV had (I believe) 10 children with his mistress of 20 years. Now he did have a daughter, Elizabeth with his wife, but she died after a few months.
Now one of their younger brothers, Prince Adolphus married and had a daughter, Adelaide. Her daughter was Queen Mary of Teck, Elizabeth II's grandmother.
How about you react to John D Ruddy videos! Their so well done and really fun to watch. Especially his Civil War video!
Quick question regarding the "Duke of York" title: which one was it who had 10,000 men who he marched up to the top of the hill and then marched down again?
26:11 1 time in English history perhaps (Jadwiga & Jagiełło in Poland)
Aye bruh love your content no cap
'I will not yield one step, today I either die as a king or I win.'- Allegedly Richard III's last words to an advisor before leading his retainers into combat at Bosworth.
As a both an Englishman and a fan of history, I've always had a soft spot for Richard III as IMO he was our last 'real' Warrior Monarch/Baddass.
I read that during the battle of Bosworth, he managed to get so close to engaging in combat with Henry Tudor, that he managed to cut down Henry's personal standard bearer.
When you come to the UK, you should come visit Leicester (my home city) and visit Richard's resting place.
Keep up the great content!
That standard bearer was the father of Charles Brandon and therefore a great grandfather to Lady Jane Grey who briefly became Queen. I've always had a soft spot for Richard as well...and Leicester is definitely on our itinerary!
Ah, interesting! I didn't know of that link to Lady Grey.
You touched on this in the video, but it's very interesting peeling back the layers of essentially the Tudor smears of Richard III from 'adjusted' portraits to Shakespeare's plays.
I did a module on the Wars of The Roses when I was at university, and I didn't really appreciate until I did some in depth reading into the conflict how influential the emergence of the printing press in Western Europe was around the same time period.
In school I was always pointed to the importance of the early printing press being for mass producing the Bible, though an area of real impact was the production of the first types of propaganda pamphlets- which is as interesting as it is depressing come to think of it...
If you do end up coming to Leicester you should also visit the Battlefield Centre at Bosworth. It's a good place BUT, it is a bit awkward how they built it on the supposed site of the battlefield, only to discover later they got the site wrong! XD
UsefulCharts is excellent.. you should react to more of their videos. Awesome stuff.
React to the Habsburg tree next lol
Ah yes the great circle of incest
That alternate Jacobite line video was interesting too.
Loved the vid
you should react to Rome in 20 minutes, they do a pretty good job for a 20 minute video and the narrator is just awesome
I really like your videos ❤
The invasion of England in 1066 was a Norwegian invasion, not Danish. Harald Hardraade was from Norway, and was the king of Norway (1046-1066).
Tostig was Harold II's brother that died at Stamford Bridge.
Where can some of your work on genealogy be found?
Why would her being twice divorced matter? Wasn't their switch to Protestantism and the creation of the Church of England largely done so that the monarch could divorce without consequence? Why would it be a problem now?
I've wondered why the Church of England didn't honor divorce. It's a major reason the Church exists. I think the Church considers Henry's "divorces" to be "annulments." Technical difference, I suppose.
"Pierre Basile" who killed Richard the Lionheart was an archer/knight not a cook... :D
And the information you add during the reaction is very interesting, thanks for that! ;)
Great video of yours in your own right!! Stumbled across your video quite by accident.
Great companion-piece video for those who find "Useful Charts", 'too weighty' or too much like going through the Indianapolis Motor Speedway!! While I like the "Useful Charts" videos and find them extremely fascinating part, of me feels wishes that "Useful Charts" would spend just a little more time doing a little more explaining of some of the finer points.
In either case I enjoy BOTH of your videos as part and parcel of the same. Please keepdoing what you're doing.
I love both of these things too. My dad was a genealogist. 😊 He claimed our family line went back to Queen Victoria. I’m not sure how true that is because the story seems a little crazy (Princess Louise having an illegitimate daughter Queen Victoria sent to America to be raised in order to hide the illegitimacy. My dad said we descend from that daughter.)
But I still love learning about the British Monarchy even if that story isn’t true. Thanks for the video!
Well, that only means one thing. Press your very weak claim to English throne and incite a full-scale war 👍
the farthest back I can go through direct father's line is Theobald Comte du Chartres died around 886AD
My aunt is a big genealogy researcher, and traced the family name back to 1066 but there's hardly any details of the period from the family arrival in the colonies to 1066.
One of the things that the chart neglected was that Queen Elizabeth II’s matrilineal line are directly descended from Robert the 2nd of Scotland.
Oversimplified did a vid on the battle of Hastings, I would recommend it
Okay…that family tree thing would be amazing. I’ve always wanted to look into my ancestry a bit, at the very least going back a couple generations to at least know something about people I never met (grandparents, great grandparents specifically) but also beyond. However…I highly doubt there’d be anything interesting to be found to make such a service worth the effort D:
Actually the Viking invasion of 1066 wasn’t Danes, but Norwegians under King Harald Hardrada (look him up, he was awesome! Sometimes called the Last Viking). There were probably some Danes there too, though.
For a lot of info, you can also read my book 'If I Remember Correctly!' a history book written entirely from my memory, it's funny too!
I wonder if Harold’s story has some inspiration for game of thrones house of dragons. Misinterpreted deathbed actions
Genealogy of the royal family is messed up. One day I'll go through and work out my family. We have a lot of old family Legends that I'd like to prove if possible. Unfortunately my parents and I are not currently speaking. Bummer.
Hey history guy, You should react to simple history's Attack of the Deadmen. The video is great and I thought it's a super interesting topic. There's not much info about the event and I think you may have some interesting things to add to it.
He has reacted to Sabaton's song Attack of the Deadmen and I believe the sabaton history video on it as well.
