I kind of hoped they would mention where she wrapped herself up in a carpet to sneak out of her palace just to see Julius Caesar. No biggie though, still love the song!
I had glandular fever really badly this January, but I found Horrible Histories and specifically this song. I swear HH helped me get better in time to study for my exams simply by entertaining me so I wasn't constantly brooding about being ill. Thank you HH
I'm am 21 now but when I was 10 it took me TWO WHOLE YEARS to remeber all the kings and queens of England, and guess what I forgot them again a year later. Kings and Queens song on horrible histories taught them to me in, like, 5 minutes! Willam, willam, Henry, Stephen, henry, Richard, John , oi!......... Haha the good old days anyway horrible histories is STILL my favourite! I think it has been for, let me see, 7 years. -A fellow youtube fan(AwesomeThing1108)
Mark Anthony ruled Ancient Rome's Eastern Provinces including Egypt! Mark Anthony was also Cleopatra's lover; they had three kids together. Both of them lost the Battle of Actium against Octavian who became the first Emperor of Rome Augustus! Both Cleopatra and Mark Anthony killed themselves after the battle at separate times.
luisdaniel acosta alzamora Don't troll about Cleopatra. I don't care what you say. She was a very pretty woman & yes she was hard & ruthless but she needed to be. It's a shame Julius Caesar didn't become king of Egypt & that her & Julius Caesar didn't get married. Just as well Mark Anthony was only with Cleopatra after Caesar's death. He would have been *so* hurt his best friend slept with his girlfriend.
We don't actually know if Cleo was beautiful or not. The coins she made suggested otherwise. However, the Romans just couldn't come to grips that a woman won the loyalty of two men in very high Roman society while holding off the Roman Empire for 20 years. It couldn't be brains or wit, right? It must be lust. There is actually no reference of Cleo being beautiful during her lifetime. That was all created centuries afterward. And she did have a son with Julius. She had four children in her lifetime. The eldest was Julius' and the other three were Anthony's. The reason why her eldest never ascended or took the place of Julius after he died was because Julius had already adopted an heir. In Roman times, adoptions happened when the man was an adult and had proven himself already. Being a son of some highborn man was thought of as just being coincidence and Julius refused to adopt their son. Cleo tried but then he was executed. There are actual temples that Cleo built for her son. The eldest son was caught and executed right after Cleo killed herself (she'd sent him away to flee but his slave convinced him to return to help his mother and Roman soldiers found them on the border.)
I tell my friends what I learnt from this show, and they go "stop, we don't need a history lesson". I show them this, and the start quoting it back to me.
@BogantownSlasher70 you can buy them in Australia in the ABC shop in the kids section that's where I got my DVD. I know they are so hard to find! Aus always gets everything last!! It's not fair!! Happy Australia day for tomorrow!

We didn't realise how privileged we were to be growing up with this troupe at the time
Cleopatra to caesar:
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
I'm queen of egypt
and here's your baby
Yes. Just… yes
Cleopatra was closer to the first world war than to the building of the sphinxes
That's crazy
It’s incredible how those structures could be made so many years ago
Cleopatra, woman that climbed the corporate ladder, since 51 BC
shes still one my idols
"My poker face smiles only when I see a man who takes my fancy like ohh..."
Mat Baynton!!! XD
True 😭😭
"My bro said "no" and I said "oh..?" and I murdered him!" Lol
A bit of an overreaction from Cleopatra I would say
1:32 to 1:35 for timestamp
Still a better cleopatra than whatever netflix is making
Fr
Facts
I love how almost everyone loves Mat and Ben, but I love Martha the most
I love Martha..I love them all. Martha is a fantastic singer and actor
Ben looks so smug in this song, like “Yeah! I get Cleopatra!”
I like them all , also great in Ghost too
Laurence Rickard is underrated !!
Bob hail, robin in ghosts, etc.
Mat and Ben may have been my gay awakenings, but Jim is the best member
Lol I love the way she sings "and we ruled the universe"
It makes her sound like a real celeb singer
i love how at the end she says no pictures and she starts posing for one
I love Horrible History they really know how to make history fun
everything about cleo's life just screams awesome lady, murderer/psychopath and a woman who has hardly any standards for men (only that they're rich)
And had a huge army to crush her siblings.
1:49 *swoons* Marc Antony
That man looks but FINE in a toga!!
I kind of hoped they would mention where she wrapped herself up in a carpet to sneak out of her palace just to see Julius Caesar. No biggie though, still love the song!
Well that story is contested. It is possible, but it would have been a very hot and cramped journey
She was wrapped in a carpet to sneak into her palace not out.
Hey I remember that in Assassin's Creed Origins
@@linkthepig4219 i am insanely in love with origins
1:52 "another roman leader" i like their dancing there.
idek why i love this song but its so catchy
My plan is to pull an all-nighter just to learn all the lines to this song
1:32 The singular frame of her brother dramatically dead sends me
I said "oh" and I murdered him - the funniest part!
A man who takes my fancy like, oh Mat Baynton! Hawt!
I love Ben's smug smile :)
"ok no time to grieve" XD
Martha looks amazing in gold! I'm so jealous of her, she gets to be around BEN!!!
She is golden all over
Some great rhymes there: pharaoh...care-o...wear-o...dare-o and Cleo...me-o. Genius!
Matt is perfect for it
That is one smug looking Caesar.
No, she sang about Caesar when the camera panned to him. And he doesn't look nearly as smug.
Mark Anthony
I can imagine Cleopatra's kids being really embarrassed of their kickass mum! XD
Matt is just.... Wow
LOL I know the WHOLE song :D I am in love with this and omg Matt is AWESOME as Marc Antony.
Cleo was the REAL gaga lady - and her own PR team. Thousands years on and time has not withered her, nor custom rendered stale her infinite variety.
The backup dancers are having the time of their lives and I love it
i love the action for mat for Marc Anthony! i would so do it if i was her
This much more historically accurate than the netflix "documentary".
I had glandular fever really badly this January, but I found Horrible Histories and specifically this song. I swear HH helped me get better in time to study for my exams simply by entertaining me so I wasn't constantly brooding about being ill. Thank you HH
Love Mat's pose!!

Mat makes all the Bayntonettes proud ;D xx
I love this song. When I was little, I was Cleopatra for Halloween for a couple of years.
"my life was a drama, I was one cookie mama" lol so funny...
Mat as marc anthony = genius
Whoever writes these songs are really amazing
when Cleopatra killed herself, she used an asp, an Egyptian symbol of divine royalty. what an icon.
Mark Anthony ruled Ancient Rome's Eastern Provinces including Egypt!
Mark Anthony was also Cleopatra's lover; they had three kids together.
Both of them lost the Battle of Actium against Octavian who became the first Emperor of Rome Augustus!
Both Cleopatra and Mark Anthony killed themselves after the battle at separate times.
I love this song, I just keep on replaying it...
I suspect that was an early morning shoot and really cold..
Especially filmed in some English Field which they're presenting is the hot Egyptian desert. Lol
@@emilyhadley9089 It looks like a chalk mine....
@@emmyjo720 it does
does anyone else see her go rawr when they say mark anthony? love that...:D keep going HH, love the series!
wawawawawa
cleopatra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Julius Ceasor looks so smug when cleo is holding him lol and mat looks so funny when cleo's with him LOL
Cleopatra was a Kick-A Queen. 1 of most beautiful women in history & I didn't know she had a child with Julius Caesar.
actually she was ugly bit romans said that she was beautifull a bitch and a cold woman
luisdaniel acosta alzamora Don't troll about Cleopatra. I don't care what you say. She was a very pretty woman & yes she was hard & ruthless but she needed to be.

i am bot trolling is the truth research about her

i thing that she was good at bed is not neccesary to e beautifull to be good at bed
My favourite part was when she said "No pictures, no pictures..." at the end.
"and we rule the universe" xD EXCELLENT! I LOVE horrible histories! thanks for posting all of this
