      Please do some more research before you accept sponsorship. Those 1-meter plots are known as souvenir plots and you have no legal ownership of the land and the company regularly "sells" the same plot to multiple people in addition to this under the Land Registry (Scotland) Act 2012 the sale and registration of those plots are illegal in addition to this since 1538 all titles in Scotland have been regulated by what is known as the Court of Lord Lyon and they do not recognize these titles. If this wasn't bad enough there is absolutely no evidence of any conservation work being carried out by the groups involved. The Illegal use and creation of fraudulent titles in Scotland and the actions of multiple companies (all from outside Scotland) taking advantage of innocent people are of great concern and cause a lot of offence

    Another little fact: the soldiers of the New Model Army (largely the infantry) were the first true redcoats. Contrary to the myth that red was chosen so soldiers wouldn't see blood, it was chosen for a much simpler reason: it was the cheapest dye available.

    @barbiquearea 2 года назад +453

    There's a reason the British Army isn't called "The Royal Army", unlike the other branches of Britain's military such as The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force (RAF). That's because the modern British Army is descended from Parliamentarian's New Model Army which at the time of its creation did not acknowledge the authority of the king.

    • @fogwar
      @fogwar 2 года назад +65

      Moreover, the Bill of Rights in 1689, which carried over some of the principles of the civil wars, meant that only Parliament could sanction the continued existence of the army. Hence an Armed Forces Act needing to be passed every 5 years, otherwise a standing army would be illegal in Britain.

      He had nothing whatsoever to do with democracy in this country or any others.
      It eventually happened in spite of him , not because of him

      Black Friday in the US comes from the business term of “being in the black” which means being in profit. Almost all outlets see large profitable sales on that day - hence the term Black Friday. Although this current version of it has only been around since the 80’s. Black Friday was once used to describe the day after thanksgiving when a lot of workers would call in sick to make their time off longer, meaning factories were understaffed.

    The Parliamentarian troops captured many of the King's papers, describing his negotiations with " foreign"-i.e. Catholic-monarchs for support. They published them as "The King's Cabinet Opened". That convinced Parliament to fight to the finish.

    Hey! I love your videos and have been a huge fan for a really long time. Im a 17 year old from Australia with a huge passion for the type of content you make, and I am looking to make my own channel with videos about similar topics to yours. I was just wondering if you could help me out and give me a few tips on what you have noticed works and what doesn’t in this sort of content. Any help would be much appreciated. Maybe more to do with the video making side of things. And keep making your great videos, I would love to see what levels you could reach in the future!

    Regarding Redcoats:
    Far from being the cheapest, red (from a particular type of snail) and purple (from a particular type of sea shells) have consistently been the most expensive type of dye, before chemical engineering became available. As such, the Romans (and the Byzantines) used red and purple to signal nobility. A red Toga for a Roman senator would take more than 30,000 snails, and a few months’ effort to dye.
    The British Empire used red for the same reason - to show off the prestige of the empire. Poorer regimes, like the French Republic and the American Republic in their early days, used blue, for it was the cheapest since it could be extracted from the plant Indigo.

    Please do some more research before you accept sponsorship. Those 1-meter plots are known as souvenir plots and you have no legal ownership of the land and the company regularly "sells" the same plot to multiple people in addition to this under the Land Registry (Scotland) Act 2012 the sale and registration of those plots are illegal in addition to this since 1538 all titles in Scotland have been regulated by what is known as the Court of Lord Lyon and they do not recognize these titles. If this wasn't bad enough there is absolutely no evidence of any conservation work being carried out by the groups involved. The Illegal use and creation of fraudulent titles in Scotland and the actions of multiple companies (all from outside Scotland) taking advantage of innocent people are of great concern and cause a lot of offense in Scotland.

    The parliamentary army was never called
    The new model army , the term first appeared in the 18th century by historian Carlyle.
    Originates from the 're modeling of the parliamentary army ,
    Which was down to Fairfax and not Cromwell, as many believe.
    Fairfax was commander in chief,
    Cromwell was apponted commander of the newly re formed cavalry by Thomas Fairfax .
    He separated the dragoons from the cavalry and made them a separate unit, without resorting to Google i can't remember the name of the guy off the top of my head who was given command of the dragoons, pike comes to mind but im pretty sure its not that.
    Fairfax reforms included trimming down commanders, he claimed he had too many, older guys he paid off , others he persuaded to take lower ranks ,
    Fairfax led the army to victory at Naseby, even though many give credit to Cromwell,
    Just like most people wrongly believe Cromwell modernised the parliamentary army.
    It wasn't Cromwell, or Essex or Manchester,
    It was Fairfax,.
    Cromwell was a wa####
    Fairfax was ahead of his time, anyone interested in the English civil wars should read about Fairfax.
    Essex and Manchester, phut,,
    Cromwell, an extremist and a hypocrite.
    Fairfax appointed Cromwell leader of his cavalry because he was a good soldier,
    But as a man Fairfax hated his extremist views .
    He fought for a parliament, he was a moderate, Presbyterian,
    He could've taken power , but he wasn't a power mad extremist hypocrite.
    And that's why he retired sad ,disillusioned , sad for the soldiers who fought for something different, for a parliament who would consider the lower classes.
    and ended up replacing one king for another, a tyrant much worse than the one Cromwell killed.

    Why didn't the Royal cavalry push off the advanced parliamentarian cavalry from the Royalist right? I think it would be safer to push them off, return to their lines, and then continue the battle in whatever way they preferred. They would be vulnerable while breaking off the fight to avoid getting into range for a charge from parliamentarian cavalry, but couldn't they do a fighting retreat or get help from their infantry? A charge from the parliamentarian infantry will take time to reach them. A charge from the parliamentarian left-side cavalry could be stopped by more infantry from the center. Why did they do a full charge?
