Brawo Młody Człowieku za ciekawość i zainteresowania historyczne w tym przypadku Polski.Tak byliśmy okradani wielokrotnie. Wielki podziw dla wszystkich mieszkańców Polski którzy zbierali pieniądze na rekonstrukcję i odnowę od podstaw tego symbolu polskości jakim jest Zamek Królewski w Warszawie.pozdrawiam
If you're ever interested in readong Polish History so as to not get upset Poles correcting you about which King stands on which column, I recommend Count Adam Zamoyski's *Poland: a History*. It's one of those accessible, (relativeley) short summaries, written with the general public in mind rather than academics. Originally written in English, so there are no translation issues, easy to find online (including for free if you're feeling cheap) and the author is the direct descendant of one of renaissance Poland-Lithuania's most notable figures, so added glamour points for that, I guess.
The king was controversial to say the least. Religious zealot who weakened the parliament and dragged Poland into a war with Sweden, which eventually led to the demise of the first republic.
I really enjoy your videos and your style of narrating. Very relaxing, non-pretentious and thought inspiring.
Thank you 😊 really appreciate the feedback and glad you are enjoying the videos! 😁

It's Zygmunt III Waza, not Zygmunt August - the column I mean :-D
I think this will be the most popular comment to this video 🤦

Annoyingly I have this book already...but this faux pa tells me I need to reinvest my time in reading it 😬
Thank you for the helpful suggestion!
1:29 Sigismund the III actually. And he wasn't great king to be honest.

Apologies for the mixup 😅 I need to work on my research skills!
@@britinpoland2392 Just ask somebody before publishing. At last I could be your expert consultant 😉
