This is so creative and inspiring. With your great editing, I got to enjoy the quick overview of British history and the wonderful recollection of some of the good films in LESS THAN 10 minutes! Thank you.
lol I'm on my mom's account watching this video because it's so awesome and I look down and see three comments I wrote (Nicollie1062)...geeez I sound like a such a geek the way I write and say things..haha never noticed it till now.
Pt 2 -- Banned programme by Tony Robinson is called "The True King Of England". As shown on Australian TV.
No big surprise that 'Royals' are as full of blaggards and thieves today as ever they were in history to get to their control freak position. Tony Robinson makes clear there's no such thing as "the divine right of Kings"
Tony Robinson of 'Time Team' made a detailed documentary, researching 'Royal' family tree & proved beyond doubt that Elizabeth2 is an imposter & todays TRUE King of England is an ex-public school boy who moved to Australia in early 1960s to live in little town famed for Ned Kelly. He ran a successful production plant & is a grandfather now. All his family knew of their history & were shown proof by Tony Robinson. All are happy. Film was BANNED in UK. I saw a recording in Melbourne
500 chars. is not enough to tell you how awesome I think this video is. I can't believe you managed to film-clips of EVERY SINGLE monarch and piece them all together so nicely! I was amazed there were even filims made about half these people. Some big names, sure. Charles II, Henry VIII, the Six Georges, Victoria, the Edwards...but others...I'm amazed. Well done!!
@Shangas My thoughts exactly!! I'm always a bit annoyed that everyone always focuses more on the tudor part of the monarchy.. didn't know alot of these films existed!! And I agree.. this was an Excellent video! Cheers :)
i am not of native british blood, but i am damn proud to be born and raised in this country which has such amaizing history. Only Britain, Egypt and Rome have histories this impressive and colourful.
@NumberDne I am of native Brtish blood, mostly Scots/Irish and have nothing but contempt for the British monarchy. They are a bunch of thieves and murderers. The Irish refer to the Union Jack as "The Butcher's Apron" for obvious reasons. The first slaves in America were people kidnapped from the streets of Britain and shipped out in chains. The crimes of the British monarchy and those who support them are too numerous to be listed here. Fortunately their end is near.
@terrorstorm99 So in what way is their end near. Are you gonna storm every single royal residence in europe to kill off all of the royal bloodlines which are in line for the British throne? The union jack is one of the, if not the most widely recognised and used flag on earth. If it was so bad then all these nations and people wouldn't identify with it. I'v fuckin had enough of appologising and feeling guilty for the empire. i was born in Britain after all of that. i need not hate Britain
This really is a remarkable video. Seriously, someone really did their English and film history homework. Despite the conspicuous absence of Sir Charles Laughton as Henry VIII and Bette Davis as Elizabeth I, this is one of the best things I've ever seen on YouTube.
Cromwell was never a king of England, he was the Lord Protector for a few short years after Charles I execution. After Cromwell died, they brought back the Stuarts in the shape of Charles II.
@tonylast47 While Cromwell was not a king of England, most lists will look to include him as it explains that little bit of English history. And for all intents and purposes he was a king of sort. And if we're getting all technical they didn't bring Charles II in to power after Oliver Cromwell died, it was only after his son Richard Cromwell serverd for less than a year did they do away with that office and reinstate the monarchy.
Enjoyed the video,nicely put together.I'm afraid though that the picture used for Henry IV is not actually him.That was a painting of a Frenchman that someone in the late 16th century passed off as him.There are no paintings of Henry IV.
This is bloody comprehensive, well done! Been looking around trying to find videos of Mary II for a video I'm working on. I know one of the videos you used was "The First Churchills" but what was the other one? As comprehensive as this list is there are some good ones not included. Charles and Cromwell from "The Devil's Whore" are are spot on. Nigel Spivey's "Kings & Queens" and Alan Ereira's series both have lots of good depictions. Ch4's "Royal Deaths and Diseases" would have been perfect. :)
@animegirlUK Thanks for the heads up! I've been meaning to check that out anyway and that'll give me a good reason to do so :) Isn't Christpher Eccleston in that too? If so then I can probably get my wife to watch it too... if you like this kind of stuff check out a new channel I set up called williewillieharryste it's all british history and other anglo stuff.
@Theriot6592 They didn't differntiate themselves with numbers at that time,Henry IV would have been Henry Duke of Lancaster and William II was William Rufus.It was only later that Monarchs were numbered and this began from the Norman invasion as those prior to that were Saxon or British Kings.Those from William 1st were all of Norman descent.
Incedently,William 1 was known as William the Bastard....and I wouldn't argue with that,
@Fichtenbrenner That's so true! lol I absolutely love english history..but I looked up other nations and they have just the same interesting, if not MORE intriguing history... but nobody knows anything about it. The whole six wives of Henry the 8th has become this HUGE thing with movies/tv series etc.. when Ivan of Russia killed more wives in much more twisted/dramatic fashion..nonetheless, I know more about english monarchy than I do about any other. And so does everyone I know.
There lies a stone in London called the London stone, which legend has it was taken by Brutas a Trojian Prince who fled the fall of Troy in about 1070 AD . He fled across the seas untill he came acorsss a new land and called it New Troy. This New Troy latter became London.The stone was supposed to be the coronation stone used by the Kings of Troy. Both Dickens and Shakespeare refer to it in their writings.
Sure, we'll be prepared =D for what..? for the death of the king!! why, is he sick? no, fool, we're gonna kill him >.< and simba too.....great, who needs a king? no king, no king, la la la la la laaaa =D idiots!!! there will be a king!! but you said....I WILL BE KING....
hey fonji love the video. was just wondering where you got that clip if king william IV. which program? as im sure you know he is david cameron's 5 time grandfather so it seemed weired to me when he came up.
@84ccipollini but america and american history is also directly linked to britain by blood. a large majority of the first settlers were british, the founding fathers of america were british and even now it is said that bush, obama and queen elizabeth II are related so british history is in a way also american history.
um Great Britain didn't come till after Elizabeth's time when James took England and even then it was only an idea Britain wasn't born till the time of Ann Stuart witch was the last Stuart Queen to sit of Scotland England and Irland so to say "from Edward the Confessor to Queen Elizabeth would be wrong.
@Fonjil could you redo this and say how they are related, as some people (if they don't know anything about history) will think that Mary I is Edward VI's daughter and that Elizabeth I is Mary I's daughter
interesting is it not? Kings and Queens claim their rule is by divine proclamation. Truly, were they installed by God, there would not be need for one iota of violence. Humanity is beset by paranoic megalomaniacal parasites and this is somehow to be revered.
I don't get it about the title of this video. It's well done, but "a history of violence"? Is the author accusing the British Monarchy of being violent? Is he anti-monarchist? Is he trying to make a general anti-British statement? If not, I would suggest changing the title to something a little less negative in its implications.
Excellent job. I'm interested in the British monarchy, and it's very cool to see each royal brought to life, especially the medieval kings.
Are you planning to update this video with screenshots from the later seasons of The Tudors (Mary I and Edward VI) and whenever The King's Stutter (George VI) is out? Either way, well done, Fonjil.
@frantic1971 Queen Mary felt that Lady Jane was a threat to her throne, and even at first she didnt kill Jane, Jane's father planned a rebellion to overthrow Mary and put Jane back in the throne, and thats when Mary sentenced her to death. I also think that Phillip of Spain didnt like Jane and he was like "if you dont get rid of her, I wont marry you" or something like that.
@plutogirllovekj Wrong and right have never changed. The use of sensationalism in news/history has been a constant threat to seeing truth. Medieval times have been greatly exagerated. Barbarism has never been acceptable. Elizabeth was an excellent Queen. She deserves full credit for a Democratic direction. Her coronation portrait portrays her well. She was indeed kind, intelligent,, brave, enlightened, and non-violent, Your stories are untrue, especially her sister Mary I of Scotts beheading.
@StarQualityWins Barbarism has never been acceptable? Have you ever heard of ancient Rome? Have you ever heard of Nazi Germany? Do you know what the Spanish Inquisition was? What about drawing and quartering? What about chattel slavery? Barbarism was the norm, until perhaps the middle of the 20th century in Europe, and in many places on earth it is still acceptable to do incredibly barbarous things. Women are stoned to death, girls are genitally mutilated, wake up!! Humans are beasts!!
@StarQualityWins Wrong and right have changed and will continue to change. Human morality has gone through a thousand revolutions!! You have no idea what you're talking about!! Do you think that the morality of the ancients has very much to do with what we consider moral today? Do you think that in a thousand years they won't look back in complete disgust at what we considered acceptable in 2010?? Are you a child??
@StarQualityWins I just visited you page and I can forgive a lot, but the butchering of a Shakespearian sonnet is just unforgivable!! May you burn in the deepest darkest depths of hell!!
Amazing!! Soul stirring.. Just downloaded it at DownloadMusic[DOTTT]im , .. download it, plug ur ear phone, close ur eyes, listen to the beat and forget the world.
You are a genius... I guess it took a while to make this vid... But it is soooo awsome... And you used a really lot of movies.... It is just beautiful.. 5* and fav of course =)
Yes Zooeyhall, he was murdered on orders from his wife, he had a red hot poker inserted into his anus, which in those days, was deemed to be the 'fitting' treatment for homosexuals. Poor, poor man.
It seems he was either gay or bisexual. His lover was a man called Piers Gaveston, a French knight. When he had to go to France to marry Isabella at the age of 24 he left Piers Gaveston as regent to rule while he was away.
When Gaveston was killed, Edward became close to a young English lord named Hugh Despenser.
Edward's interests were in entertainment, craftwork and boating which were not deemed suitable for a King.
He had four children with Isabella and an illegitimate son.
compared to what some countries elect to rule. I rater inherited monarchies. Example Queen Elizabeth II of Canada, to George W. Bush Jr. of the USA. Hands down I rather Elizabeth as my Head of State.
also consider Hitler, he was elected as well. There is no perfect way to find a Head of State but each Nation to their own way.
Excellent vid, Fonjil! I hope that some of the kids (and a few 'adults'!), who dismiss this little septred isle, as an empirical monster, intent on raping, pillaging, and colonising every country and region on this earth, manage to see this, and look deeper into our history?! They'll find, as I'm sure you did, a history that far exceeds greed, pomposity &arrogance, but a tiny island group under constant threat, and attack,invasion, and, since 1066, pride in it's unfatiguable defiance! Thanks!
I didn't show most of the wives or husbands. This video is really about the reigning monarchs not their spouses. The only real exception was Henry VIII, but then his six wife deal was a pretty significant part of his identity.
The idea that I didn't show Charlotte because she was ethnic is both ignorant and insulting.
Well then maybe you should change the title of your video because it clearly says Kings & Queens and in the more information tab, you clearly wrote "all the kings and queens of England and Britain."
Fair point, but I think it's pretty obvious what the video is about, and to take a cheap shot to imply some kind of ugly intentions in the making of the video is pretty low. You did not question all the other queens that were missing so you clearly got what the video was about.
Fonjil didn't include the spouses because seriously, half of them are not worth mentioning, how many people are going to know that Richard II's first wife was Anne of Bohemia? Sure they have there special place in history, some are more important than others, such as Isabella, (She-wolf of France), Eleanor of Aquitaine, Anne Boleyn, just to name a few. but this video was obviously not made for the purpose to showcase every single person that stood by their ruling spouse. Just the main rulers.
One of my fav. videos about the Monarchy on YouTube. Our Monarchy is sooooooooo interesting and after these lonf 1500 years, it's still a sort of enigma!

@StarQualityWins Barbarism has never been acceptable? Have you ever heard of ancient Rome? Have you ever heard of Nazi Germany? Do you know what the Spanish Inquisition was? What about drawing and quartering? What about chattel slavery? Barbarism was the norm, until perhaps the middle of the 20th century in Europe, and in many places on earth it is still acceptable to do incredibly barbarous things. Women are stoned to death, girls are genitally mutilated, wake up!! Humans are beasts!!

@StarQualityWins Wrong and right have changed and will continue to change. Human morality has gone through a thousand revolutions!! You have no idea what you're talking about!! Do you think that the morality of the ancients has very much to do with what we consider moral today? Do you think that in a thousand years they won't look back in complete disgust at what we considered acceptable in 2010?? Are you a child??

Yes Zooeyhall, he was murdered on orders from his wife, he had a red hot poker inserted into his anus, which in those days, was deemed to be the 'fitting' treatment for homosexuals. Poor, poor man.

sir9integra9jr 2 years ago 2
Is it really true that Edward II was gay? And that he died in a particularly gruesome way?
zooeyhall 2 years ago 2
It seems he was either gay or bisexual. His lover was a man called Piers Gaveston, a French knight. When he had to go to France to marry Isabella at the age of 24 he left Piers Gaveston as regent to rule while he was away.
When Gaveston was killed, Edward became close to a young English lord named Hugh Despenser.
Edward's interests were in entertainment, craftwork and boating which were not deemed suitable for a King.
He had four children with Isabella and an illegitimate son.

it is ludicrous that people should inherit power
astridbelge 2 years ago
compared to what some countries elect to rule. I rater inherited monarchies. Example Queen Elizabeth II of Canada, to George W. Bush Jr. of the USA. Hands down I rather Elizabeth as my Head of State.
also consider Hitler, he was elected as well. There is no perfect way to find a Head of State but each Nation to their own way.

Excellent vid, Fonjil! I hope that some of the kids (and a few 'adults'!), who dismiss this little septred isle, as an empirical monster, intent on raping, pillaging, and colonising every country and region on this earth, manage to see this, and look deeper into our history?! They'll find, as I'm sure you did, a history that far exceeds greed, pomposity &arrogance, but a tiny island group under constant threat, and attack,invasion, and, since 1066, pride in it's unfatiguable defiance! Thanks!

The beginning and end music is taken from the TV show "David Starkey's Monarchy" and the music through the bulk of the vid is Kingmaker by X-Ray Dog.

You didn't show Queen Charlotte. Hope it wasn't because she was ethnic.....
America2France 2 years ago
I didn't show most of the wives or husbands. This video is really about the reigning monarchs not their spouses. The only real exception was Henry VIII, but then his six wife deal was a pretty significant part of his identity.
The idea that I didn't show Charlotte because she was ethnic is both ignorant and insulting.
Fonjil 2 years ago 5
Well then maybe you should change the title of your video because it clearly says Kings & Queens and in the more information tab, you clearly wrote "all the kings and queens of England and Britain."
America2France 2 years ago
Fair point, but I think it's pretty obvious what the video is about, and to take a cheap shot to imply some kind of ugly intentions in the making of the video is pretty low. You did not question all the other queens that were missing so you clearly got what the video was about.
Fonjil 2 years ago 4
Fonjil didn't include the spouses because seriously, half of them are not worth mentioning, how many people are going to know that Richard II's first wife was Anne of Bohemia? Sure they have there special place in history, some are more important than others, such as Isabella, (She-wolf of France), Eleanor of Aquitaine, Anne Boleyn, just to name a few. but this video was obviously not made for the purpose to showcase every single person that stood by their ruling spouse. Just the main rulers.
gothiclolita15 2 years ago 17
In youtube you only have 10 minutes to do a video..how do you think is posible show all the reigning monarchs and his o her spouses!?
Before criticize, do a video about African, Asian or American monarchs
