Hey Kevin, just want to say I absolutely love your work. I can not describe the amount of respect I have for you. Keep up your amazing work 😁
Great show mate, Please tell me this isn't our future... THREADS
Thanks, will do!
You gun nut 1944 are also a great human, very Worth of laudable respect. In fact may you live in great opulence and be bestowed many honours.
Latimer's quote to Ridley before their execution always gives me chills. The men (and women) of the Reformation really were made of tougher stuff.
the natural charm of Kevin's accent and delivery makes any tale a ripping yarn
Thank you so much for bringing us our rich English Protestant history. A special thank you for reading Bishop Latimer to Bishop Ridley. That always makes me proud of our rich Christian heritage in England.
It's always a great day when we get to watch Mr. Kevin do his thing❤
What a story, such a man! Definetely a worthy man to dive deep into his biography. Thanks, Kevin!
My pleasure!
Hicks' storytelling skills make it very enjoyable, easy to follow along, and easy to immerse yourself into the time and place.
Nicely done
I agree, if only we had a history teacher like him back in the day. I can't actually remember my one. 😆
@@211inprogress It's crazy to me how history, actually one of the most interesting subjects that exists and which we all could learn a great deal from, can be managed to become so dull by most school teachers.
Much appreciated! Thanks 👍
Kev lays down the template for how it should be done.
Those last words of Hugh Lattimer while he was about to be burned at the stake did impress me ; magnificent .
Hugh Latimer, what a fine example of how a Christian ought to be. Thank you so much Kevin for your amazing content!
Correct. Our church in Hawaii would do trios to other countries and build homes. Went to Mexico and built homes. Samoa as well. And would have weekly food drives.
@@NK-wy8wp Inspired by Latimer - do you think the money it took to send a person to do manual labour would have been better spent to support the local labour force?
Great video, very informative.Many, many years ago during a school trip to Oxford,we visited the Martyrs' Memorial for the "Oxford three".
I have never been too interested in medieval history, but your videos are so awesome! Thank you
What a very tragic and horrendously barbaric end to such a great man. Even before he was set alight, he was thinking of the other man, he showed great courage and strength.
I love the way he described how he was taught from an early age archery, and how to use the long bow, if I remember correctly, I read that only the British isles would Place the bowstring on their chest (pulse as they described it) and then put their body into the bow, and other countries would draw the bowstring to them, which meant they got tired quicker. I can see how drawing the bowstring to you after awhile would get to your biceps and fingers, whereas holding the drawstring to your chest and then in effect with an almost straight arm, and stepping into the bow and bowing the bow, it is less effort. Am I understanding that correctly?
I also read that it was compulsory for all young boys from around 9yrs old, maybe younger, to practice archery at least once a week upto adulthood, and it was the clergyman that would see it through after church service, as well as father son training other times.
Yes, I'm hoping to get out on Monday to do some shooting and also film another archery video which will cover training 👍🏻
Ohhh yes! Now we're talking 😎
I am so looking forward to seeing that! 😁🤗
I love reading about the wars fought with the long bow. England's ace in the hole. A cracking piece of history and story, I understand why you respect this man. Thanks
Hi Kevin ,I watched your Tamworth castle vid the other day, cos I was born in Tamworth many years ago ,and found it most informative ,but when I saw this vid I was amazed at the Hugh Latimer story because we were visiting a little Warwickshire village called Baxterley some months ago and looking around the churchyard we were shown the grave of Hugh and his colleague ,in Baxterley churchyard! We quite enjoy watching your vids , especially when I found out that you were a bowman .sadly I had to part with my archery gear due to my shoulders being worn-out ! Anyway keep it up and we'll keep watching. T.M.
Cheers, will do.
History was my favourite subject in school. Infact probably the only subject apart from P. E that i actually had a passion for.
Thanks for the upload much appreciated 👍
Amazing story, good work Kevin! The Reformation period was a fascinating time in history
Yes it was!
Kevin I hope you are doing well with RUclips, and it’s not burning you out! I hope you never stop making videos, I enjoy these so much. They are always bangers.
😜 haha, nice pun. But seriously I'm looking forward to a break in October 👍🏻 Cheers for watching.
What a great story! I had never heard of Hugh Latimer....what an amazing man!
Really?!
No I hadnt. Being in the US I am not aware of all the wonderful historical people of the UK.
An excellent video! Thank you Kevin! From a ret.police Sgt. About your age. I always enjoy your work!
Haha, thanks skipper 👍
Thank you Kevin, for the latest bit of history. It is a sad story, but also an inspiring one. He does sound like a worthy man to try to live up to. Cheers from Texas. Keep up the great work.. I'll be looking forward to your next video.
Cheers David 👍
He was one of many, so many, those whom the Papacy sought to drive out of this world and in the most horrendous way, some had boiling oil placed above their heads, when at the stake, so the pain would be doubled, some were blown up at the stake. Because of these men of God we had the power of the Papacy broken, freedom from tyrany
Absolutely fascinating Kevin...You're the Man.
Enjoys these very much. Thank you
Because of his exceptional revisions of English History, Kevin will receive exclusively his RUclips's plaque button award. I can't think of a more appropriate honorarium for a true-to-life storyteller, knowledgeable and committed to the fascinating events during the Medieval/Renaissance than Kevin Hicks.
That’s so kind of you, thank you.
@@thehistorysquad 🙏🙇♀🙏
I have learnt a lot from him
I have read a few articles regarding Hugh Latimer , including a short description of his life in Foxes Book Of Martyrs . However , I enjoyed your telling much more , as you included facts I hadn;t seen in any of my previous readings , and the passion in your voice while telling his story caused me to close my eyes and picture in my mind the happenings as they unfolded . Latimer would of been proud to hear a fellow Bowman tell his story , and who really knows for sure if didn;t hear your telling . We shall all find out one day in the life to come . Thank you for sparking my imagination Sir .
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Thank you Kevin again for this insight into english history! What it really ment to be burnt by the stake can be watched here on RUclips in a video from the spanish production "La Peste" (The Plague) with english subtitles, although hardly needed. It takes place in 1597 when the city was struck hard by an outbrake of a plague epidemic. It is very graphic, so MATURE audience only. Look for "Spanish Inquisition Brutal Medieval" - Brutal and heartbreaking!
Im a practicing Catholic, but I have to agree some of the corruption that was around then did need to be cleaned up
I love your work! Such dedication to the period and to your delivery that adds so much to the authenticity! Please keep giving us these glimpses into these so very human parts of history that so often get missed in the big "set piece" battles/treaties that overshadow these individuals I would never know about if not for you.
Thank you! Will do!
Hi Kevin you make history really entertaining. Me my wife, daughter and son saw you in person twice which must be about twenty years ago now. The first time was in Sherwood Forest at the Major Oak and the second was at Warwick Castle both times you were demonstrating long bow shooting and at Warwick you were shooting arrows right across the river and hitting a man sized target. I'm glad I found this channel, keep up the good work.
Hi David & family, thanks, they were definitely some fun times. I hope you enjoy catching up on some of the videos here. Welcome to the channel 👍🏻
How nice to get a timeline of all these famous people thats understandable.
Tragic and inspiring story from the past...brilkiant as ever Mr. Kevin! Cheers from Portugal!
One must grow into bending a bow, but only practice and will makes marksmen of skill.
Thanks for your excellent content Kevin! You fine Sir are the highest calibre of bowman and historian in the land 🏴!!
I’m so thankful for the work of Latimer and co. in stripping away the corruption of the false church at the time and their work in translating the Bible. Being able to read in my own language; the simple, beautiful, and life-changing truth of salvation through Christ, has transformed my entire family’s trajectory for the better.
Always think of him and the others, every day I pass their spot of Martyrdom in Broad street Oxford on way to work.Brave people.
I really liked the imagery presented in your display! Good context and represented the highlights of this historical character’s story. Well done! You also present the participants of historical events that play a large part of a greater story - a back story in that event with key players that we may not have heard of. I’ve heard of Henry’s divorce but was not aware of the panel that debated and approved it. I was under the impression Henry basically did it on his own. I learned something today and have a deeper understanding of this period in history, as well as the repercussions for those that made that decision - thank you!
Wow, my pleasure
I have gathered many funny and sad stories over the years on my walks, but one of the best is the funny story about Jack Sheppard, the celebrated thief of the 17th century. I won't go into details, but it's a classic that has earned his place in history. Keep up with your docs. Cheers.
Will do, and yes, Jack is on my list 👍🏻
Bravo Zulu Kevin. I remembered the "light a candle in England" quote but had forgotten where it was from. Thanks.
I live in Norwich, Bilney was burned at the stake at Lollards Pit, where a pub now sits, the pub was remodernised, ad they changed the name from The Bridge Tavern, to Lollards Pit.
Hello from southern New Jersey USA. Love your videos. I have seen a few castles in Ireland but nothing like some of those beautiful places you visit. I appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge and passion for history.
Thanks for watching!
Another history lesson learned, thanks for the introduction into this interesting man's live and beliefs.
Thanks Marco. We hope to have an archery video for you next week, fingers crossed.
Very much liked this one. I actually want to study more on Latimor now.
Kev, you really are the best storyteller I could listen to you for hours. Keep em coming 🤪 ❤❤❤
underrated program here.
The History of England is fascinating, especially when well narrated.
I would suggest you to read about Jean Meslier, a French priest who ... did not believe in god. In my first life, I lived not too far away from the village where he was sent to preach. But he didn't do it the expected way. His writings were long kept hidden after his death. Voltaire had a copy. His ideas were later used/misused in a period rich with ideas which lead to the Lumières and the revolution.
Always exciting to get the update of a new video! Thanks for all you do.
Our pleasure!
This is the earliest I've gotten to watch a new episode yet. Very excited!
Kevin Hicks narration, is superb.
Things that I found boring at school, due to the monosyllabic
drone of the oral delivery, ignite a brand new interest and
meaning when Kevin Hicks tells us about them.
"Kevin, you are BRILLIANT, and I look forward to every story
that you tell us."
That's very kind of you, thanks!
Thanks Kevin. Once again wonderful stuff on English history. Didn't know much about Hugh Latimer. 😊
A wonderful moving narration. Minor Bow minor ability, greater Bow greater ability. But skills and achievement only earned through application of mind and body, not the tool. Bishop Latimer a true Bowman of life at heart. RIP. His message still lives on.
Hi Kevin! As a bowman for these past 50 years, I have developed a preference for the double recurve bow. I like the speed of them and the fact that you can get more power out of a shorter bow, which is a definite plus when hunting in heavy underbrush. One thing I absolutely detest is the compound bow! It's just wrong!
Agreed
I love my mathews compound bow..
I appreciate the purity of recurve bows..
"He was a bowman, a long bowman, just like me". Kevin I have a new house now, and God is blessing me, I am preparing for the weekend. When I fire up the grill on Sunday for my feast, I will say a prayer of thanks to God for the example of the Clergy, such as Hugh Latimer. Despite the politics, the clergy holds to the Bible and willingly take their blows. What a lovely story. Kevin, hope to meet you some day. I am almost ready to retire. Have one daughter still in College, when she is finished, my plan is to no longer toil 40 hours a week for my sustenance, but rather to work 40 hours a week for the Lord Jesus, for no pay (he already gave me eternal life and much more). I have always been inspired by the love and compassion of Jesus. I think Hugh Latimer was too. In closing: Matthew 25:37-40 (King James Version) 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
I had plans to retire too, but have ended up making these films which I love doing. It's good to keep busy. Good luck in your new home. 👍🏻
Thanks Kevin, you are the man!!!!@@thehistorysquad

A pleasure. Have a great weekend 👍🏻
My Friday fulfilment with a wonderful interesting story from history thanks once again Kevin and co 👍 😀 ❤
Great video & historical insights👍
"A bowman, just like me." Just you stay away from any kind of heresy, Kevin. Your pyre might make a fine candle, but we still need you down here on Earth! =^[.]^=
😂 how lovely, cheers buddy.
Absolutely the most interesting guy on RUclips. Thanks for what you do.
Superb story telling yet 👏
Excellent story telling
Kevin, your research and presentation is second to none.
Really interesting. Thank you 👍
I appreciate that!
Great history lesson. Thanks!
I love your videos Kevin!
He did for others what we all should be doing everyday for others.
Its not the monies collected l or the show put on..... but how we live our lives
Wow I learn so much from you! Mr. Lattimer sounds like a stand up guy. So sad his end, and yet inspiring at the same time.
Fantastic!
I finally picked up archery last summer. Childhood dream of mine, but yes, you and your videos are what made me take the commitment. I guess I'm a bowmen now too, making me an honest man more and more. Thank you for your stories, they're not only interesting but also elevating.
That’s lovely to hear, thanks and good luck with your bow. Enjoy it 👍
Always love the videos🎉
Yay! Thank you!
I need to say! I love every video you make Kev, thanks so much for making history 1000% more interesting than my history classes ever did :)
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I love your stories.
Thank you
Hey partner I love watching your videos, they're always incredibly interesting
Hey, thanks!
what a story, thank you!
Excellent
Hi, I am a new subscriber to you channel and find your videos so interesting this one in particular as I had never heard of Bishop Latimer, very interesting thanks, cannot wait for the next video.
Awesome! Thanks Peter & welcome 👍🏻
I love your channel
Kevin: I thoroughly enjoyed the vid, as always. Today, I listened while walking around Boone, NC.
Cool. Thanks for listening
@@thehistorysquad Brother Kevin, the vids always make Friday better.
Kevin Hicks, making History enjoyable and easy to understand , quick question, are there any archery videos due any time soon? 🤘🏹
Ah, now you come to mention it yes they're just on the horizon. Julie's editing one about how I repair arrows, and we're heading out on Monday to shoot a few. If we can get one edited in time, we'll publish one next Friday (when we leave on our epic roadtrip), the others will then follow through November & on 👍🏻
Thank you Kevin for making Hugh Latimer come alive to me. Weirdly enough, I knew more about Little Bilney than I did about Latimer! Was he any relation to Katherine Parr’s second husband Lord Latimer?
Why was burning at the stake the preferred method for executing “heretics”? Was there something symbolic about fire vs other forms of execution that made it the method of choice for sending the enemies of whichever religion was currently in power permanently out of the realm? Didn’t the powers that were realize that such horrific ends would almost assuredly make the people executed into “martyrs” for the faith? This is the time that Fox’s Book of Martyrs was being written and passed around. You’ve given me much to ponder.
Really enjoy your channel. I've seen you on other channels but didn't realize you had your own. discovered you because of Jan from the Saskdutchkid.
Oh that's so cool! I was out with Jan just the other day and will be putting our archery video out tomorrow. Cheers & welcome to the channel!
Really enjoyed this like all your videos. He was some man, standing up for the less fortunate and the poor. His eyes were open, his ideas radical, upsetting the church and the Queen. I can only imagine the pain and suffering these people went through being burned, it is so horrific, barbaric, and traumatizing Thank you for educating us. I don't know if you have already done this, but what about the anchorites?, yet another cruel and barbaric practice, loved one on Battle of the Little Big Horn by the way.
Yes, an interesting topic for sure. Thanks for watching and your kind comment 👍🏻
