    Just one correction so far, at 1:07 I state, "That of the signing of the Magna Carta as John ruled England for 17 years".
    This is incorrect, it should be sealed not signed.
    Middle Ages Kings sealed documents to express royal approval.

    I've been binging your wonderfully well-researched and well-written histories while doing chores (I'm probably one of the few Americans who would binge your entire anarchy series 3 times in a row, including once on my birthday - what can I say, I admire women named Matilda). But I'm afraid I missed most of your graphics, including all your injections of humor, because my vision is none too great, and I was using my phone. However a snatch of "battle on the big bridge" caused me to leap to my phone with a startled "What!?" and hit rewind, i'm not sure that king John deserves Gilgamesh's theme music, but any excuse to use it is a good one, and those graphics were hilarious. This means I'm going to have to re watch everything on a larger screen and actually look at it, now that I see all the snide remarks you're throwing in. Curses. (Not really.)

    Great video, and an English king who deserves this kind of deep overview. Love the video game animations, btw. 😄

    In the words of the inimitable words of the inimitable John Gillingham, “John was a shit.” I’m very wary of ascribing more success to John than his father in certain respects, as you say. True, John was ‘more’ successful than his father at milking the English milch cow of resources, but had precisely none of his father’s wisdom or foresight, and therefore was incapable of letting. I grant he was arguably as able an administrator as his father, but his (John) ability sprung more from a predatory sense of squeezing every ounce of cash from his English holdings and blowing through almost every layer of support among the baronage. As he preyed, he kept copious records, and that’s why today we can observe just what a ravening regime was John’s. David Starkey once put that sentiment best: “We know just how bad John was because, like the Nazis, he kept a record of everything.”

      Yeah his book with Danny Danziger, 1215 the year of Magna Carta was a fantastic read.
