if he didn't live in England or speak much English how was he boyhood friends with Becket for so long, Becket was born in England and only went to France to hide out as an adult, far as I've found out
I’m actually in the middle of “The White Ship”. This is a nice addendum! I always enjoy any documentary by Bartlett that I can find!👍 And Henry II is one of my favorites. What a story!
I really enjoyed this! I could go on and on. When a person ends this sort of vlog/lecture and still wants to replay it or hear it once more, then you know it was enthralling.
Henry II made the mistake of being paranoid of Strongbows intentions in Leinster Ireland in 1171. Henry set sail to quash any alternative Norman kingdoms arising there apon the death of a Leinster King prior to that. Henry foolishly ignored the Irish rightful replacements amd imposed the Norman De Lacy family there, and made himself lord of Ireland. The ramifications of Henry II rash decisions are still felt today. Not so clever now was he?
By definition kings are not great they are kings by birth without recourse to democracy. They may be better managers of a stinking and corrupt system but they are not great .
Will certainly be researching his books and be reading more on the founding of the common law legal system. Thank you for bringing in such an interesting speaker.
As a 3rd year law student, ill tell you how common law was really founded, it was first based on tribal celtic law, then it mixed a bit with roman continental civil law, then it was influenced a bit by anglo saxon customary law, and finally but crucially, it was cemented and codified for the first time, amended and improved upon, by the normans who are the ones that introduced the jury system trial of peers as well as the 12 traveling itinerant judges that traversed the shires of the realm, thereby for the first time instituting the implementation of a codified uniform national legal system with stare decisis (precedent) which was a huge change away from the disparate localised tribal laws of anglo saxons and various celts (the Norman era is usually cited as having the most impact on common law)
English king. I’m not trying to be petty, honestly, he wasn’t the king of Scots, it was still a separate country from the other 3 in the modern day union.
@@aarondemiri486 Thank you. I really appreciate your reply. I’ve had really hostile replies for pointing this out. It’s such a common mistake ppl make it all the time. I’m Scottish so I’m probably more aware of it. Have a good one!

He was father of the English Empire. Normans adopted new English national heritage and fixed old saxon warfare. At this time totally french horror story :)

The picture that you put up looks nothing like the real Henry 11. That painting was probably painted in the 18th or 19th century. I was reading about Henry 11 from a description by some religious cleric who stated that Henry 2 had red blonde hair.
I read in a book by Dan Jones that just before he died henry ii whispered to Richard " may God grant me time enough that I may reap revenge on you, my son" is that true??

Professor Robert Bartlett has to be my favourite historian presenter. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you.
Was thinking exactly the same, what a pleasure to listen to.
I love and respect Professor Bartlett so much!!! The People Profiles + Professor Bartlett + Henry II? Could not ask for a more perfect video!!
I could have listened to Professor Bartlett all day recounting the medieval history of England. He has a soft yet authoritative style. Brilliant.
What’s his surname origin ?he never talk about his family’s blood line
Watch his Norman SERIES
Sensational coup to get Prof Bartlett on the channel, well done
Inside the medieval mind was a masterpiece of a documentary series, nothing else like it before nor since. Sadly the BBC has gone downhill ever since.
I’m actually in the middle of “The White Ship”. This is a nice addendum! I always enjoy any documentary by Bartlett that I can find!👍 And Henry II is one of my favorites. What a story!
@Ready For Anything. had to spoil it, didn’t u 🤔
I'm also reading it! Great book. The author's other books are also good.
Robert Bartlett is a fantastic historian and one of my favourites, huge knowledge and vast background information on the Plantagenets.
Bartlett is a fine window to the should of any period he looks at. Wonderful. Thank you
What a great podcast . Prof. Bartlett has a great way of delivering to us his knowledge , I could listen to him all day
I have greatly enjoyed Prof. Bartlett's series on the Plantagenets, and recommend everyone see it. Marvelously done.
I really enjoyed this! I could go on and on. When a person ends this sort of vlog/lecture and still wants to replay it or hear it once more, then you know it was enthralling.
Professor Bartlett is a wonderful addition to this channel. Looking forward to many more presentations.
Great way to make history interesting. A real treat to have this wonderful professor
Bartlett is the best Medieval Historian out there!
You have clarified many things for me! I could listen to you talk all day! Thank you!
Fantastic Lecture Professor Bartlett
Henry II is one of England’s greatest kings.
Talking bollocks

I watched Professor Bartlett's documentary "The Plantagenets" several years ago, and that was my first lesson on this historical period. Many thanks!
His series “THE MEDIEVAL MIND’ is excellent as well.
This is absolutely brillant, love lectures from Bartlett
Well done sir! What a truly epic king! Henry lls reign echos down thru the centuries.
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
I love Robert Bartlett . Good to see him .
Wonderful lecture by Professor Bartlett! Thank you!
I could listen to Robert Bartlett all day
People say lectures are boring 😴 lectures are only boring when the lecturer doesn't have a clue. I listened to this twice really enjoyed this 👌
Robert Bartlett is a GOAT of a Historian!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos and watching your tv documentary on medieval history.
Fascinating with a top presenter.
I've been asking for this one for years!
Amazing presentation thank you guys and gals.
I thoroughly enjoy this channel! Thank you for the great content.
He made it so interesting and easy to follow!
Respect for Professor Bartlett❤
Fantastic, really enjoyed that!
Professor Bartlett should have his own channel … simple as that
Thank you, especially for the concise info on the development of English Common Law.
Henry II was my 25th great grandfather and his illegitimate son The Earl Of Salisbury my 24th.
He has a 3 part bbc documentary on the Plantagenets
He did The Normans and Inside the Medieval Mind too. Both great series’. Both well watching, if you can find them online.
This is so educational and amazing. Thank you 😊
Thank you sir, very informative.
Time well spent.
Henry and Eleanor are my 22nd great grandparents!
💜 i liked historian about king of centuries. Hope professor continue about king arthur.
Fabulous lecture
I like you work man😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent!
one of my absolute favourite British kings very much appreciated
probably my favourite dynasty
English king. I’m not trying to be petty, honestly, he wasn’t the king of Scots, it was still a separate country from the other 3 in the modern day union.
@@lyndsaycrawford no offence taken miss I'll refer to him as an English monarch going forward

These would be great as a podcast , nudge nudge
One of my great grandfathers
That was AWESOME
Henry II is not Cesare Borgias 😜
Still a great doc. I love medieval history!
My 27th great grandfather was Thomas Howard the 3rd Duke of Norfolk!
My granny princess Marianna Cottone she was born on February 13 , 1912 in the County of Naso city ( Sicily )

Very important “Common Law”. Americans are regretfully not educated in these important points of citizenship.

Can you Guys di Henry I
This man is quite amazing. i would certainly let him felch me, although frotting would not be on the menu
We are still living with the legacy of Henry II’s intervention in Ireland. He was a sort of medieval globalist.
👍❤️🙂

Plantagenet is a French origin family crest and is pronounced French otherwise it's a mistake and incorrect. It's PLAN-TA-GE-NEG

It's not certain. Seems a tad dramatic....
King Henry 2nd is my ancestor and so is King Athaelstan The first king of England.
Unfortunately this just cannot be enjoyed..there is just too many adds.. ridiculous...
Holy f****n s**t you telling me that George I claim to the throne was thru Henry II??? They had to go that far back just to find a Protestant damn!!!
George 1 was descended from james 1. George 1's grandmother was James 1s daughter
I thought he was descended from Henry Tudor VII.

Damn he got old
Just wait, sweet. It happens to us all, amazingly. Even you. If you do 1/4 of what he does, be proud.
Na, I have melinan, I only said something because I watch his Doc all the time
