    Thank you so much for making this video. I'm basically blind. And can barely read a few paragraphs, much less an entire article.
    I've been researching my ancestry for about 2 years.
    I can prove that I'm descended from King Edward I.
    Via a 10th great grandfather on my mother's German /Scandinavian/French side, Robert Abell of Hemington, Cty Leicester, Cty Stapenhill, Cty Derby.
    Born, 05 May 1605, Hemington, East Northamptonshire Borough, Northamptonshire, England.
    Via his mother
    Frances Elizabeth Cotten, born 1573, Hemington. (Leicester), Leicestershire, England, United Kingdom
    This line would marry into my dad's line, Egertons from Bridgewater, (Sir Richard of Ridley, born 1593, Ridley Chester Rydley, Cheshire, England, is my 10th great grandfather.
    I'm: Scottish 20%, Norwegian 16%, German 15%, Irish 15%, English 14%, Sweedish/Danish 12%, Welsh 5%, French 3%, Finnish ~>1%
    I've found SO MUCH history in my journey to finding out this much, and I've got decades more to go.
    Just before I found this video, I listened to another one by a popular British RUclipsr. The vocabulary was so pretentious and the narration was so over dramatized, I spent more time zoning out than grasping anything said. And I was literally wondering a few times, "I wonder what that place is now." You, coincidentally, answered a few of those questions in this video.
    Now I'm off to see what else you have. ❤

      @@josephcarmody3248 ​ Richard was a Chad but Longshanks is *THE* GigaChad and one of the first truly English kings of the Plantagenet dynasty. One of the greatest warrior kings ever imo.
      A classical warrior-poet who had a romantic side but was absolutely brutal to his enemies. A giant of his time figuratively and literally with his 6’2 frame that he actually scared a bishop to death.
      He saved a disastrous crusade from ending before it even began due to incompetence and bad luck with the other armies and still managed to win some remarkable victories. This is also despite surviving an assassination attempt in his sleep, receiving multiple stab wounds and then killing his assailant.
      Dominated the French, Welsh and Scottish, built some of the greatest medieval castles and built them everywhere and reformed the armies.
      He was also the utmost gentleman when it came to the fairer sex too. Read up what he did to Simon de Monfort for talking bad about his mother and he had two of the greatest and well known romances in history with his two wives with love letters that survive to this day. The second of which refused to remarry after his death despite only being in her 20s “because no other man could replace him”.
      He’s very much like a fictional hero in my eyes and epitomises everything that makes a great man.

      When the Normans took over the country in 1066, the entire Saxon ruling was kicked out. Everything was changed, William took lands and divided it up between his barons to rule over. They built castles to lord over the people, who's decendents still occupy today as the modern British aristocracy. They recorded the assests of the entire kingdom in a book called the doomsday book to understand the value of the country. England also was taken out of the Scandinavian culture and moved into the circle of French culture. Basically what I am saying is they reinvented the country, everything before that was wiped out. The monarchy was the same, so with the linage of the monarchs of England, it will always begin with William 1st. Though many English nationalists will argue that it was Alfred.

      Neither of those two people were Celtic they were both of Norman descent, Robert De Bruce name kind of gives his lineage away and Wallace was most likely Norman if not Norman Welsh.
      In fact both their families came across with William the conqueror in 1066 and helped William to conquer England and the de Bruce Family are given land in England stolen from the people.
      Ultimately all this is the start of over 300 years of Norman/Plantagenet rule in England that spills over the rest of the British isles.
      So ironically those two famous Scottish heroes own ancestors sowed the seeds of the coming wars between Scotland and England.

Most believe that he was a minor Lord with some land and others believe that he could of been a mercenary in Longshanks army against Wales. On top of that the people would not had much of an opinion, Bruce and Longshanks had their people tied to lands in a feudal system that existed all over Europe of the time, they would not of been any difference to the subjects, nor would they of had been enough education to create a political opinion in such matters as leadership, like you would have with people today in modern democracies. So to conclude, I don't know how you believe that because you have a relation to people who lived 800 years ago (Which many millions of people would have today) you knew how these people lived and how they viewed the overlords?

    Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc …. Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere… where is God and His faithfulness…
    God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
    God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
    He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕

      Well, this *was* the 1300s; the modern French pronunciations largely hadn't been invented yet (neither English nor French bore much resemblance to its modern-day counterpart. The Canterbury Tales was written 3 generations after this and it is only barely comprehensible to English-speakers who aren't familiar w/ Middle English).
      People also didn't understand their names the way we do today; spelling was not set in stone for them. William Shakespeare (who lived fairly close to the 'modern era) spelled his name differently in each of the surviving signatures we have of his. Evidently, he did not prefer a set spelling. So long as the pronunciation was more-or-less correct, then it was a valid spelling.
      There were two 'lingua francas' of his time among the rich and powerful; Latin for written communication & French for spoken communication. French would also have been used for letters and poetry. You can bet that Edward Longshanks & his wives were speaking French at court (tho. unlike prior Norman kings, Longshanks probably did know *some* English).
      So, basically, everyone speaks French and nobody cares how their name is spelled. Later, a historical tradition develops, and these people happen to be of interest to primarily British historians (since English Royal history is part of English history no matter what language they spoke).
      Since these histories are done in the vernacular & Latin's lost a lot of its popularity, modernized English forms (or close approximations of them) would have taken precedence at this time if not earlier, b/c nobody wants to learn 1000 variants of the same name just to figure out who half of these people are. I, personally, don't have a problem w/ it, b/c it makes my life easier & nobody at the time cared how their name was spelled anyway.
