    Wow, those 400 yr old cedars @ 48:59 transplanted all the way from Spain to UK, and still alive after 4 centuries, beautiful! Can you imagine the quality of the wood? The reddish hue, fragrant aroma, natural rot resistance(especially on an old growth tree like itself, and it's high strength for a softwood. These are the trees the kings and emperors of old would pay a very high price for to build their ships out of, and other things as well, such as beautiful furniture(carved by highly skilled woodworkers). But with its inherent rot resistance and overall exterior durability, it was used on boats as one of the primary species of wood that went into their best ships. It is a different species/family than the "cedars" here in North America which are actually in the cypress family and although very nice wood, on average, not quite as good as the 'true cedars' of Lebanon like these you see here in this video. I'm amazed they've survived in such a different, colder climate than Spain. Sorry for long post, but as an ex-carpenter and now hobbyist woodworker + gardener/horticulturalist, I can't help but appreciate what beautiful trees these are. Everyone should plant at least one tree in their life. And make it something unique to your area; researching it first to see if it will thrive in your region, before planting it in a viable location. It could become your own personal legacy, be it 50 years or centuries later.

      Agree. Your passion for fine wood comes through as a true carpenter who appreciates it. I also agree that everyone should plant & initially nurture a fine tree. As govts seem intent on increasing energy costs in the name of the environment, it is my opinion that reforesting the world where forests once stood & living amongst the trees would put so much more oxygen into the atmosphere & filter various pollutants that humanity would reap the benefits. I don’t want to get political but must point out that govts seem to ignore simple partial solutions like planting trees in favor of regulation invites lobbying or outright corruption.
      Your comment was excellent. It’s like we’re living in a world that doesn’t appreciate nice things. When the cathedral at Notre Dame burned all I could picture was how tight the wood grain must’ve been from those old growth forests. Good luck here in 2024. From where I’m standing it looks like Rome is burning.

Of these Stuart kings, it seems that James I and Charles II truly appreciated that they lived in an age where compromise served kings better than heavy-handedness. They ruled over a more literate, more sophisticated and self-confident nation than their Tudor predecessors. James II and Charles I lacked the ability to compromise and adapt, and they paid the price for it.

    With literature this whole era is endlessly interesting. I recommend the UK historian Christopher Hill and his classic work The World turned Upside Down. And his book The Century of Revolution. It is the history of the common people I love most about England. Also read the Historical Notices of N. Wilson of London they give a great picture of the life of a avid reader of a common man who was curious about the debates of the time as well.

    What always stood for me regarding Charles I was his reclessness and stubbornness. He wasn't a bad person, even people like Cromwell didn't regard him as inherently bad person (good Christian but misguided) but he clung to oldfashioned ideals of chivalry and kingship in the era when both was strongly challenged. Some of it was doubtlessly product of his French wife and court but in many cases, he was very heavy-handed and ardent about things going his way. He challenged (by intention or not) very roots of English monarchy and he, as king John before, paid for it. Was it a triumph of English democracy or just coup d'état of sidelined Parliament? I've read both perspectives but I think it was very much the first one. And leniency of Parliament towards Chales I very much shows they weren't interested in overthrowing him until he incited civil war for the third time. And even after that, Cromwell and radicals were minority in their intention of executing Charles.

      A ‘triumph’ of English democracy? No, I think not. What it DID do for democracy, is put the people off from it for hundreds of years, even into the current day. If it was a ‘triumph’ at all, it was very fleeting.
      It was hardly a democracy either, taking on the trappings of a dictatorship often.

      Yes, under the ancient customs and Usages of Britain going back to Brutus of Troy, everyone was sovereign and kings were basically elected to be first among equals. It was everyone's duty to ensure that the king was true to his oath to rule in accordance with the laws and customs, like the barons did at Runnymede in 1215. Kings did not rule by Divine Right. That's where the Stuarts went wrong.

I think it's very likely that King James' child was snuck in 🙃 (just a wild maybe guess, I haven't heard of him cheating so that would make sense) ... My grandmother was really big into researching our family ancestry... just before she died, she, my mom, my aunts, and my family submitted our DNA for a genealogy test. When it came back one of our biggest surprises was that it said that we were "illegitimate" descendants of King James II... basically, we have his DNA in our bloodline DNA, but it couldn't determine the maternal side. This is the first documentary that I have seen that actually highlighted some of his good traits, every other one that I have seen makes him out to be an inbred monster.

    From the perspective of the outside looking in, I find Charles Spencer to be a true Countryman in his respect for the History of his family and country, for his birth to responsibilities of his land and home, for his clarity of who his Sister was and her expectations of her responsibilities to her Children, her Role, and her personal needs and desires as a woman.
    Charles Spencer reflects a Mature Mind, Higher Mind, balanced in his person and his Title, Ethical and with Integrity he has secured his home, property, the History, and the People that have their lineage attached to the Spencers, whether through kinship of bblood, or years of servitude. His personal Harmony stands as an example to others and will for future times.
    I've developed a great respect for this man and through him we have a potential vision of what Diana's character could have easily continued to mature to have been.
    Truly a tragic loss to her children, family, country, and countless worldwide.

      You don't know what you are talking about.
      This man is a gross cheater and abuser, married to his third wife at the moment and with no contact with his own children.
      He denied Diana's request to live at Althorp, but has been basically using her corpse and memory as a tourist attraction to mantain his fortune for the past two decades. At the time of her death, he probably knew his sister as well as their childhood nanny.
      He is the one who introduced Martin Bashir to her, leading to that pos feeding disgusting lies to Diana, a woman who famously suffered from multiple mental health issues, this connection also resulting into that disaster of an interview and heavily contributing to her death (because of Bashir's lies, Diana refused her royal security after divorce).
      And don't even mention any responsability of his towards Diana's sons. He did nothing for William and Harry. They were raised by their father and paternal grandparents, not Charles Spencer. However, both of them are close to their mother's sisters and their families, but never to this cheap man.
      There's nothing to admire about the Spencers' characters either.
      His parents and grandparents, particularly his father, were also extremely shitty people. There's no harmony in that family.
      Actually, their fuck-ups resulted in the mess that was Diana. Because she wasn't the saint that the media and people who weren't even born during her lifetime made her into. She was mentally and physically abusive to Charles; she fired multiple staff members without reason; she used her barely-teen son as a personal therapist (which is abuse too, poor William); she was the first to cheat (so much that idiots still question Harry's paternity and even Harry himself wondered when he was young), having affairs with multiple men who were either married or in relationships and harassed one of the wives until the police got involved; she pushed her stepmother down the stairs and as soon as her father died, she put her clothes in trash bags and threw them out of the house etc.

      Copy: Catholicism is so often the scapegoat, the excuse, to distract from what the true threats were, *"greed"* and that of the Money Exchangers, the Elites, the Egos.
      There are few Histories that demonstrate Ego and Greed like that if Britain.
      The quiet rule of the current Elizabeth, her father, and even grandfather have caused the reality to fade.

    My mother was English and her last name was Banbury. I'm quite sure that I am not descended from any royalty, no money, no estates, no nothing. More likely I am
    descended from horse thieves deeply mired in severe poverty and far worse. I have always, always wished to visit England, Ireland and Scotland to meet at least some of my relatives, but now I am old and it is too late, not to mention that at the most, my income for all of my adult life has been about $12,000.00 a YEAR. So all of you, be grateful for what you do have.

      I haven't paid rent in 4 months. Doesn't matter anymore. We all end up where we're meant to be.

My great-grandfather's last name was Stuart. Crazy, right? I honestly don't know that much about him, as in the past I have only really been interested in the Tudor reign of England. It's fascinating to learn so much about him.

They may do well to take a deeper look into this man that authorized the KJV. If more knew he was bisexual, they may not like him, or that he killed so very many and was not a nice man.

    At 36:37. Well, Sir Richard was clearly prejudiced against Spain. Charles, Prince of Wales, had a totally different opinion of what he saw in Spain, especially in the palaces of Madrid. Charles came back to relatively backwards England with a huge, connoisseur appreciation for fine art. It was in Madrid that Charles (and I presume not Sir Richard) was introduced to the Hapsburg art collection, the biggest in Europe at the time. That's where Charles saw Titian, Tintoretto, Raphael, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Veronese and Rubens for the first time. It was due to this Spanish adventure that Charles, when he became king, started to import to England all this marvelous art, along with great continental artists like Rubens and Van Dyck, who set up shop at the English court. Banqueting House, in Whitehall, has the largest Rubens ceiling painting in Europe. It was built in preparation for the Spanish Infanta's arrival that never happened. Whitehall Palace (no longer around since it burned down in the late 1600s) was built by Charles in imitation of the Royal Alcazar in Madrid (that's where all the Hapsburg art was collected). It's not an exaggeration to state that Charles' Spanish adventure was the beginning of the Baroque period in England.
