Great vid, being from Wales myself and having documented family roots dating back to king aethelwulf its great to see you cover these topics.
I've always been fascinated with the 7 wonders of the ancient world, would love to see an updated docu on that topic since all on here are years old. you could do it as a series and cover one wonder each episode.
A series on Dinosaurs would be great through the different ages such a Jurassic, Triassic, etc.
Could do a series on Egypt throughout the dynasties, plenty of stuff there.
A castles of the UK series. covering the history, who built, etc. (would love to see a part of this cover the ruined castle in Newport, South Wales)

The Angles are the subject of a legend about Pope Gregory I, who happened to see a group of Angle children from Deira for sale as slaves in the Roman market. As the story was told by Bede, Gregory was struck by the unusual appearance of the slaves and asked about their background. When told they were called Anglii (Angles, he replied with a Latin pun that translates well into English: Bene, nam et angelicam habent faciem, et tales angelorum in caelis decet esse coheredes [It is well, for they have an angelic face, and such people ought to be co-heirs of the angels in heaven]. Supposedly, this encounter inspired the pope to launch a mission to bring Christianity to their countrymen.

actually there is proof that sutton hoo isnt an invasion kings burial place, they came here and settled in WITH the celts, war came after with generational change. the anglo saxons and celts lived in the same settlement. the mask is most likely an odin mask due to only one eye having jewels. odin missing one eye of course. alot of these people converted for trade not for faith so added christian stuff for appearance sake: ) before rome, before they were germanic, before they were goths etc. they could only trade with celtic people, the jutes saxons and angles were already known to the celts.

Don't know who to cheer for? The Kings of Wales I descend from? Or All the Vikings & Saxson (literally the Sachsen's - Kings of Bavaria, Germany in which the name Saxson is derived from) I am also descended from? Or should I wait for the Normans to invade - seems like every other one of them I am descended of too? I'm so confused! One things for certain, sure learning alot more about British History than I ever imagined I would have too by doing geneology & watching things like this. Way more British than any of my grandparents ever thought!

I've always wondered, what is it like to be from a country with SO much history? I am American, and we do have a few hundred years of really interesting history, but to be from Britian, where nearly every acre of land has seen battle, and so many different people have tread- from Britons to Romans to Saxons, Danes, and Normans. what is that like? I must say, I am envious. Fantastic videos btw. I'm hooked.

Welsh records of this supposedly obscure 7th century history seem to be excellent. English historians often ignore Northumbria and Wales and rely on Bede and Catholic records. Which are hostile to all of Celtic Christianity, Celtic pagan kings, Anglo Saxon pagan kings, Cornwall, Wales and Ireland.
Does Bede even mention Pelagius the Scot who debates Augustine about original sin in around 400CE?

Theres a town in Pennsylvania named after this Welsh kingdom. Drove through there last week. But I didnt get a chance to hear how the locals there pronounce it. Im guessing that because Americans tend to pronounce non-English names with American English pronunciation rules, they likely do so with dd as the consonant d, not the f sound as pronounced by the British narrator.

12: 30 -- I had no idea how or why Armorica was renamed Bretagne (Brittany. Thanks so much for this history lesson and explaining that the expats from Breton were fleeing from the Anglo Saxons. I've ancestry from Cornwall and Bretagne. Of my maternal Great Grandmother from Bretagne, my mother told me that she smoked a pipe and spoke French with an Irish accent! LOL!

This is a terribly shitty day and age to live in. No honor. No glory. No great undertaking or crusade to commit to. Yet war is being waged against us still. In a way that can't be effectively resisted. They don't invade anymore. The emigrate and seek asylum. They cry unjust practices and intolerance. No sword raised, just papers signed.

Re the killing of 'priests' at the early battle. Was it not the case that priests fought to kill in battle at this time and sometimes performed the role of cheerleaders to undermine the enemy and spur on their side? Were they not 'fair game? ' Was Bede using their deaths as PR for his own objectives? He could be very biased at times.

Recent historians have switched the site of the battle from Hatfield Chase near Doncaster, to Edwinstowe in North Notts, and for good reason. Not least the amount of skeletal remains found there. BTW, this leads to the origin of the Staffordshire Hoard as the Northumbrian booty gathered after the battle IMHO.

Your geographical knowledge is not as good as your knowledge of history. The Fens are the flat lands that border the Wash, primarily to the south and west. Raewald was aledgedly buried at Sutton Hoo near Ipswich, on a penisular between 2 bays; which whilst close to the Fens isn't close enough.

It seems strange that a pagan angle would have professed Christianity while living among the Picts in the 600s (depending on where in Pictland he lived, as pagan Picts were known to have held out against Christianity in the remote east till the early 900s.

Great work and research here. I like the artwork included, yet i am curious as to exactly who and what historical scenes are being portrayed. Would it be possible to caption the pieces, as if you don't have enough to do already?
