"A very bad man, more cruel than all others. He lusted after beautiful women, And because of this he shamed the high men of the Land".

I hope you enjoyed the new artwork made by Ettore of King John. A link to Ettore works is in the description down below.
Obviously, this isn't the final King John video, as I had written the second half of the script, but upon reviewing it, I felt it wasn't up to standard and have rewritten the script.
The next episode will be the final.

[@SKTheCrusader]

I really appreciated the explanation of what being a Medieval King was about. Especially the golden nipple tassels, most don't remember that key detail.

[@Embracehistoria]

I can't wait for the CK3 DLC, nipple tassels, and mediaeval workouts 💪

[@augustbliss]

OOOH, excellent! Thank you for your well researched content and uploads. Your one of my favorite channels, sir. I just saw this notification, and didn't get one for your last. So.. I'll watch both in a little while

[@Embracehistoria]

That's alright, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos.

[@Andy_Babb]

The barons wars are so interesting. My 25th great grandfather was one of the Barons who signed the Magna Carta!

[@Dimera09]

Your videos are profoundly top quality dude. I love playing them both while listening intently and also while sleeping and learning passively. The best I can do is subscribe and give all your videos a like, happy to sponsor if possible (to the best I can lol). Many thanks and much respect- please continue the awesome work 🤘🏿

[@Embracehistoria]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. This one was certainly a long one.

[@Dimera09]

@@Embracehistoria I forgot to mention how awesome the visuals are too, including the little speech bubbles etc with extra info which are simply majestic.

[@poto33]

Wow what an incredible military victory! I'm sure John will follow this up with many more and keep control of the angevin empire

[@Embracehistoria]

Like Liz Tuss, I'm a fighter, not a quitter.

[@facoulac]

this was an awesome video!

[@AJMerrick]

Great Video Man

[@Embracehistoria]

Thanks, dude. 😊

[@MarcusAgrippa390]

Wasn't that @The Histocrat as the voice of Richard The Lionheart?

[@Embracehistoria]

Yep, everyone knows King Richard’s accent was a Yorkshire one.
