A big thank you to the hard working and intelligent members of K&G for these long uploads, especially when this form of early industrial warfare is intriguing me so much lately!!
19:33 that was my ancestor Jenne Geddes who threw the stool at the vicker when she cried "De'il gie you colic, the wame o' ye, fause thief; daur ye say Mass in my lug?" meaning "The Devil give you colic! The hide of you! (lit. "the belly of you") False thief! You dare say the Mass in my ear?"
how the monarchy fell over the years facilitating for the democratic ideas to take hold of england: 3 hours 22 minutes. how the entire revolution ended with the monarchy restored: 1 minute. just magnificent.

@andrewbeard7625 Unemplpyed? 😂 Kidding. My family is third generation Scottish but was Irish back in the time of Cromwell. Our ancestors back then were wealthy landowners who were ruined by Cromwell because.they were catholic. Always interests me that only great histories like this one shows the kind of blood thirsty lunatic he was of you were a scot or Irish. If there's a hell I'm sure Cromwell is there now. At worst it's his summer home.
@@lollius88 as per the first battle, English Heavy Cavalry were infamous for winning the cavalry fight and then leaving the battlefield in pursuit of the enemy cavalry instead of turning round and winning the remainder of the battle. Fortunately the British had (and many would say still have, man for man) the best infantry in the world so this “strategy” often worked wonders.
You're talking about the Napoleonic wars, only, not the Civil war and not British cavalry generally. The Iron sides, Marlborough's cavalry and the British cavalry in the Crimean war were all superbly disciplined.
This has always been an area of history I’ve been unfamiliar with but this documentary has really helped me grasp how Cromwell became a leader and the end of his regime.
This was my favorite era in Colonial American history. Massachusetts Bay colony had a surge in population at this time in English history. Like a mass exodus.
Atun-Shei has a fun video about the English Civil War that focuses more on the religious, ideological, and revolutionary aspects of the conflict that influenced the early days of the American colonies. Highly recommend!
Royalists fled to Virginia. Which was considered the fourth realm after England, Scotland and Ireland. American leadership was largely drawn from this class going forward. Puritans went to Delaware. Quaker’s went to Pennsylvania. Whilst the American back country and southern states were mainly settled by the Ulster Scots, who came from the Anglo-Scottish border, which made them natural frontiersmen and guerrilla fighters.
King Charles 2nd couldn’t defeat his enemies in battle so he decided to use his royal immortality potion and simply out live his rivals what an absolute legend 😂
I’m from Worcester (there is a fantastic little civil war museum called the commandery) it’s great to see it mentioned! Also lived in a small village between Bristol and Bath for a few years so seeing Marshfield (fantastic ice cream there btw) etc was also mad. Love the videos as always!!
Fascinating stuff. I’m an Ulster Prod myself. I remember reading that the Scots Covenanters attended their church services armed. And with sentry’s posted in all corners of the church.
It's weird, but it's always nice to see my local area and local history on such a massive channel. I love these long-form videos, good work yet again guys.
I first want to say I really appreciate all the work that goes into these videos. As a slight criticism, I found the sound editing with the fireworks in the background extremely distracting - the pops kept pulling me from what was being said.
Tbf the English civil war wasn’t futile in the long term really. It was the start of the long decline in the monarchy’s power over England and the lead to the rise of parliament as the main instrument of power in the uk. Although it ended badly for Cromwell and the parliamentarians eventually the uk has become how they would’ve wished it to be.
Nice! Thank you for showing us this 3 hr documentary. I have 3 suggestions that I’ll like to see for the Kings and Generals channel: 1) a long documentary about the thirty years war, 2) a series focusing on the second crusade 1145-1149, and 3) French wars of religion 1562-1598 because it creates the house of Bourbon, the monarchy that’ll play a role in the French Revolution. What do you think?
@@tannerhagen774 Now, I don’t have any books to share because I learned that because History Matters, a History RUclips channel, created a ten minute video called French Wars of Religion. If you really want to see it, you can search that in RUclips and the video will be there. And yes, he does have books that he puts in the description of a video if you want to learn more.
Amazing combination of depth and accessibility. Fantastic work! World's smallest nit: you're using modern maps so they frequently have water features that did not exist in the 17th century e.g. 52:56 South and West of Bristol shows Barrow Gurney reservoir (constructed 1852), Blagdon Lake (1905), Cheddar reservoir (1937), and Chew Valley Lake (1956)
Really respect that you added small enagements like the battle of worcester and landsdown when you could have just reuploaded the past videos of major battles and called it a collection of videos.
I’ve watched several documentaries on this subject, and I must say this one is the clearest, most comprehensive, and most concise. Thank you for what you do!
Here’s the revised version: I know these long videos are tough to make, but on behalf of everyone, I want to say thank you for putting them together. It’s awesome to see a series like this all in one place!
As an American I appreciate you covering this I feel the sentiment our founding fathers had when creating a new country had the English Civil war in mind and wanted to prevent such wars from occurring great vid !!
You're almost quoting Adams John Adams he mentioned the fact that he wanted separation of church and state because of all the wars that Europeans and he particularly thinking of the English who routinely fought over religious issues.
These long form videos are what the History Channel used to do but quit doing on historical events. Kings and Generals takes that format and perfects it.
I'm not English nor British, but this subject -the "English Civil War" - is quite fascinating... probably because the more I tried to study it, the less I understood it. On the surface (and from the point of view of a foreigner) this war seemed almost like a case of an extremely TRAGIC "collective lunacy". A series of misunderstandings, inability to communicate between the parties, the King's own "pig-headed" stubbornness on one side and on the other a spreading RELIGIOUS FANATICISM within the massses and there you have it - all of a sdden you have a King waging a war against his own subjects and his subjects doing the same, but the ultimate reasons for their involvment and at times fanatical resilience (often bravery but also cruelty) more often than not escape my understanding. There was hatred on both sides and both armmies perpetrated many deeds that even then were considered something alike (with a 20th century word) "WAR CRIMES". The war spilled over into Ireland and involved even Scotland. I always thought the Scots quite liked the Stuarts - afterall they were Scottish (as far as I recall they even descended from Robert Bruce ...or so I've read somewhere!...) - so Scotts fighting against a Scottish King on the English Throne seemed beyond me. I do not understand the cruelty Parlament's Armies shown in Ireland, but - most of all - I have big troubles in understanding the fanatical cruelty against each other even on English soil. This was not some "foreign invasion" like the attempted invasion during the times of Philip of Spain's "Armada". This were Englishmen against other Englishmen and they were BOTH Protestants - with the "lines" being drawn even right through families - son against father, brother against brother & vice-versa. PS. Another thing that quite often escapes me, is all the times the King & his Royalists could finish this war, if they pressed harder (OR SO IT EEMED TO ME AT LEAST!) ...but DIDN'T or for some reasons decided not to (or maybe they could not afterall and I'm mistaken??). A King openly fighting & killing his own subjects is never in a good position. For all the proficiency and professionalism of his Army ...it seemed to me he always had tremendous problems in replacing his losses with new men - UNLIKE the Parlament's forces, that quickly "caught on" in battlefield professionalism and efficiency... and in the end they WON. THEN it turned out that without a King, there was a frightening power-vacuum in the heart of the system of power - so frightening that out of fear of new, bloody conflicts, Parlament had to resort to yet another "King without the kingly title" - Cromwell, who had probably even more power than any English King since Henry the IInd or Henry the VIIIth, and surely more power than any King after him (and correct me if i'm wrong!).
Awesome work as usual guys, you continue to surprise us..If you do a similar approach for other categorical vids, like Ottomans, Rome etc... it will be more then appreciated... Cheers and long live the Kings and Generals :)
One of my ancestors, William Walker, fought on the royalist side in the English civil war and later migrated to American colonies after the war ended in 1652. Always interesting stuff.
A most fantastic history lesson I knew nothing about in spite of having been a student of English history at some time or other.......I was born n England too..
I cannot but feel a little Deja vu seeing Oliver Cromwell rise to power like Napoleon during the French revolution though minus conquering Europe and only calling himself "Lord Protector" rather then Emperor or even King.
I can’t wait to see you guys cover the Anglo Dutch Wars and I can’t wait to see them because the wars included great admirals on both sides and great examples on the Dutch side are Cornelis Tromp, Maarten Tromp and Michiel de Ruyter and on the English side Robert Blake, Sir William Penn father of William Penn founder of the colonial province of Pennsylvania, James Duke of York future king James the second of England and VII of Scotland and George Monck 1st Duke of albermarle while the overlooked 4th war saw British admirals who fought in the American Revolutionary War rule the waves but also during the Anglo Dutch wars there were those who were already famous and infamous like prince Rupert of the Rhine and King Charles the second but there was also French admiral Abraham Duquesne marquis du Bouchet And If you don’t mind me asking but can you do a video on the regicide’s of King Charles the 1st and these regicides were the members of parliamentarian side who killed and also took part in signing the death warrant for King Charles the first and it’s an interesting, sad and horror story of what happened to the regicides and the story of the regicides begins when King Charles the second returns and he passes the indemnity and oblivion act which granted amnesty to those guilty of most crimes committed during the English Civil War and the interregnum but of those who had been involved in the trial and execution of King Charles the first 104 were specifically excluded from being granted amnesty and these 104 were tortured in many ways for example the ones that had already died like Cromwell, John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton were given a posthumous execution with the remains being exhumed and hanged and beheaded with the bodies being cast into a pit below the gallows and the heads being placed on pikes at the ends of Westminster hall several others were hanged drawn and quartered 19 were imprisoned for life while others fled from England to such places as the New Haven colony which is where New Haven Connecticut is some fled to the areas that would become the modern day nations Netherlands, Germany, France Switzerland, Morocco and Belgium however besides the regicides in England there were also ones in Scotland.

Cromwell is the embodiment of “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

Not really. He lived long enough to die as Cromwell
He wasn't never a hero so

And If you don’t mind me asking but can you do a video on the regicide’s of King Charles the 1st and these regicides were the members of parliamentarian side who killed and also took part in signing the death warrant for King Charles the first and it’s an interesting, sad and horror story of what happened to the regicides and the story of the regicides begins when King Charles the second returns and he passes the indemnity and oblivion act which granted amnesty to those guilty of most crimes committed during the English Civil War and the interregnum but of those who had been involved in the trial and execution of King Charles the first 104 were specifically excluded from being granted amnesty and these 104 were tortured in many ways for example the ones that had already died like Cromwell, John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton were given a posthumous execution with the remains being exhumed and hanged and beheaded with the bodies being cast into a pit below the gallows and the heads being placed on pikes at the ends of Westminster hall several others were hanged drawn and quartered 19 were imprisoned for life while others fled from England to such places as the New Haven colony which is where New Haven Connecticut is some fled to the areas that would become the modern day nations Netherlands, Germany, France Switzerland, Morocco and Belgium however besides the regicides in England there were also ones in Scotland.
