Man when are you going to upload the early Islamic expansion and the Zanj rebellion video we have been waiting for more than a month now when are you going to upload the two videos? 🙄
One suggestion for future videos: it would make things somewhat clearer if you referred to the key figures in the narration by the same names as their tags in the animated maps. Obviously many of these figures had various noble titles as well as family names that they would have used at different times, but it starts to get quite confusing during battles when the majority of the leaders on each side are being referred to in the narration by names that don't match their tags on the map. As an example, the narration consistently refers to William Cavendish as "Newcastle" or "The Earl of Newcastle", while his nametag always says "W. Cavendish". While you do mention the title as belonging to that individual, it's difficult to remember all of which noble titles titles go with which people - staying consistent with one name/title per person throughout would be much clearer.
Once you've covered the 1st English Civil War, will you cover the connected conflicts as well? The Bishops' Wars, Irish Confederate Wars, 2nd Civil War, 3rd Civil War, Cromwell's War in Ireland, and Montrose's campaign in Scotland.
There was a funny incident before this battle took place *Even after two years, the fact that a civil war was being fought was not universally known across England. On reaching Marston moor, some soldiers discovered a farm worker going about his business. When Soldiers told the farm worker to be gone, the disgruntled labourer asked why he should move. When told he was standing on a field that was about to host a battle between the King and Parliament, he said: “Whaat, has them two fallen out, then?”*

I live at the base of the Pentland hills in Scotland, where The Royal Scottish army defeated the Covenanter insurgents at Rulion Green. It’s known as the “Covenanters grave” It’s a strange battlefield. Lots of legends come from these hills for some reason. Many of the Covenanters that were capture were tortured near the now training grounds of the 3rd rifles battalion. It’s a creepy place.
It seems that the winning side in many decisive battles ultimately lose because they decide to loot the enemy's baggage train, or camp, instead of carrying on with the battle.
Grew up learning about the American Civil War but not learning enough about the English Civil War, which I always found to be far more interesting. So much rich history and culture to be learned from our cousins across the sea 👍
The Second US Civil War had remarkably little impact on history. It was a traumatic & unnecessary conflict that simply undermined the American infatuation with slavery by any means. The English Civil War was the violent birthing time of the world’s first true modern democracy, as well as the cultural turning at which Britain as a whole rejected Puritanism (which in turn led to those ideas heading West, hence the American obsession with fucking over people who look or act different).
@@Jaxck77 What? The least religious and most atheistic part of America is where the Puritans settled, which is New England. Puritans had very little cultural impact in America.
Cromwell never stepped foot on a battlefield until he was 45 ,,,, he'd been a farmer, squire and MP for Huntingdon,,, he just had a talent for it ,,,, a remarkable man a totally ruthless one as well ....
This is a complicated battle that I have had difficulty understanding for many years, thank you for piecing together most of the loose ends by creating a relatively understandable time line with your graphics and narrative. Winston Churchill has a jolly good description of this period, by the way, in one of his history books.
Be great if you could do a couple of episodes on the Marquis of Montrose, who was sent to campaign in Scotland to try to divert Leven’s army back north.
Glad to see this war covered in detail finally!!! As I'm slightly biased towards this conflict since my family on my mother's side had lands up in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire at the time and fought on the side of the royals. The head of the family saw which way the wind was blowing after the Battle of Naseby and hightailed to Virginia with his family.
It's not " diverse " enough ? Completely ignores the contribution made by those of African descent....? ( sounds like a joke but this is what History teaching has been reduced to in Britain.)
That’s what people were also saying back then after his death “At dinner we talked much of Cromwell; all saying he was a brave fellow, and did owe his crown he got to himself as much as any man that ever got one one.” - Samuel Pepys diary, (1666).
@@jayturner3397 Yes. He was offered the Crown because the Rump Parliament was afraid of his power and hoped to limit it by trading his office of Lord Protector to an actual King.
I keep getting confused when they call Alexander Leslie "Leven", especially because they then refer to William Cavendish as simply "Cavendish". I know that Leslie is the Earl of Leven, but then why not call Cavendish "Newcastle", since he was the Duke of Newcastle?
@@dantheman4908 mah, because there's there's the War of the Three Kingdoms in China, and it's confusing especially since this war was mainly fought between the 2 English sides
As a British person choosing between Parliament and the Royal family nowadays is like choosing which STI I would rather have. The historical conflict between Parliament and the Crown is far more interesting since there's merit to both sides of the divide, whereas nowadays there's no merit to either side Parliament and the Monarchy.
It's a bit curious labelling Blackpool at ~8:12 - Blackpool didn't exist beyond a handful of shacks at the time, and most of the Fylde was basically barren barring Poulton and Kirkham! Labelling Preston may make more sense, given the later Battle of Preston in 1648 (which was an absolutely crushing parliamentarian victory).
I wish The Wars of the Three Kingdoms were better known in the english-speaking world. I don't believe representative democracy would have been possible without the Roundheads' victory.
Wetherby is nowhere near where it's shown on the map, and in reality lies between Leeds and York, along the river Wharfe. Love the video, simply pointing it out as a resident of that area.
Only 300 versus 4,000 deaths / casualties? With all the back and forth, plus instances in which the Parliamentarian Army seemed close to defeat, I would have thought the losses on their side would have been much greater.
I swear war tactics in England during this time was terrible there is no thought of outflanking or any deception in the army with their tactics it's just basically I'm an honorable soldier and I shall fight you head-on
Watching this was a bit freaky. Looked it up on google maps to orientate myself and spotted a karting track less than a mile down the road. As soon as I saw it I remembered the layout. Must be at least 25 years since I hurtled around that track on a stag weekend. I couldn't have even told you what county I was in at the time - I never go north of London. Wish I'd known. I'd have been just as interested to see the battlefield - but doubt the stag would.
Could make a pretty good case for this being the turning point of the war. Sure Charles kept going after this defeat, but it was all a slow down hill slide from here basically.
Loved the video! Videos like these, with interesting, full-scale battles being explained chronologically, are why I'm a paid subscriber and supporter. One question though. How many cavalry were on the parliamentarians' flanks? 3000 on each flank, or 3000 spread out over both flanks, meaning 1500 on each flank? Because if it's the former, with Thomas Fairfax's vanguard of 400 horses leaving the field, that would've still left a sizeable force of 2600 horses, so... What happened to them? 🙂
A man of note is the Earl of Derby, who tried to secure Lancashire for the Royalist cause in the early days of the war however Charles refused to help him. In 1642, Derby proceeded to attempt and assault on Manchester but was emboldened when he captured Preston. He then turned his sights on Bolton and Lancaster, failing to take both. In 1644, he would play a key role in the Bolton Massacre. This may have been emboldened, on his part due to his previous failure to capture the town though that is speculation. In late September 1651, he was captured and sentenced to death in Chester. He managed to escape but was recaptured and taken to Bolton where his sentence would be carried out. In the Man and Scythe pub, he was allowed a last meal and a drink before his execution. Why there? Well, it was owned by his own family. He was subsequently beheaded. The pub is still open to this day and the chair in which he had his last meal is still on site.
I'm right now reading "Act of Oblivion" a quite good novel about these events, set in the aftermath of the war and of the restauration of a king on the the throne of England. The book narrates the hunt for the parliamentarians that issued and executed the death sentence of king Charles. But there is one thing I do not understand. In a part of the book set in the colonies in America, Scotsmen living there are presented as on the king's side while for what I understand during the war they were on the parliament's. How can this be?
Can you revisit series like this one and the Viking invasions? Both came to have more coming but it's been years for some of the older content. The Pacific can wait
It's not the Kherson counteroffensive video, which I have been waiting for, but it will do :D hope you guys are working on that, though the situation is really dynamic. Cheers.
Loving this series but there are some basic errors creeping in. From York, Selby is to the south, Wetherby is the to the west (you've got it in Lincolnshire) and Marston Moor is between York & Wetherby, not to the south west.
I remember hearing that prior to the American Civil War people were leaving the states for the West all because they feared Civil War was coming and didn't want to fight in it. Which is understandable. I wonder if a similar situation developed with the English Civil War.
The "battle outside Sunderland" that you refer to between the Earl of Newcastle and the Covenanter Scots could be one of several. After leaving Newcastle the Royalists fought delaying actions at a place called 'Boldon Hill' which is close to South Shields and on the road to Sunderland. Later still another skirmish occurred at Hylton which at the time was the highest crossing of the river Wear and site of a Norman castle. It has been suggested that because Newcastle remained staunchly Royalist whilst Sunderland allowed the Scottish army into the city is one possible reason for the bitter rivalry between the two cities, these days reflected on the football pitch most often. However while Newcastle was an old fortified city with walls and a castle Sunderland had no such defenses so putting up a fight against the Scots would have been fruitless I imagine.
And this turned out to be quite the dark day in English and Irish history. That being said, many of the leading Roundheads were likely not much better than Cromwell.
Ah yes, I was looking forward to this, because I couldn't find anything really consistent about this war on the internet. Could you talk about Louis XIV's wars after that serie please ?
Can I recommend the novel Micah Clark by Arthur Conan Doyle ( yes ...THAT one ! ) . It is set during this period and is exciting and gives brilliant account of the atmosphere and characters involved. !!

The interesting thing about Cromwell was that he had no formal military training, he made up for it with exceptional leadership and discipline.
There was no formal training at the time , he was one of those who created the New Model Army to create such training
And created a new model of killing Irish people God bless Cromwell not.
