  • i LOVE antastasia! my favorite movie as a kid! and the songs are just poetic musical gold. (second to brandi carlile but whatever)

  • 4:05 AM and I can't get to sleep and now.... I'm scared. Yes talking about killings in the middle of the night scares some 11 year old girls... Including me. But great video!

  • Hello im a 15 year old girl who thinks history is so boring i hate it but i love your videos and this video made me intrested in history :) go you!

  • Technically, he wouldn't be Louis XVII, would he, JP my friend? That would be a regnal name, and as he was never crowned, he would have remained only the Dauphin (French crown prince) and have no claim to a regnal name.

  • Why would a heart be passed around *shivers*

  • I did a project of Anastasia and u nailed it with Anastasia's history!

  • Wait, wait, wait, wait....the movie Anastasia is historically inaccurate? You mean she doesn't run off with a cute guy named Dimitri? My childhood allusions are shattered!

  • Maybe the skeleton was not really misplaced :P

  • I love that you talked about Anastasia! Being a Russian and all thats one of the stories I grew up with! When the Romanov family was finally all together they had a big ceremony for them as a proper burial. I remember watching it and crying my eyes out. Its a bittersweet memory from my childhood. :)

  • It funny that writers know some form of history and do well in school. My history teacher loves writeing and she teaches two class about writing and how writing is changing over time like i alwas tell her and my english teacher "from old engish to new english and to text.(lol brt jk wtf....)"

    do you agree? I think you should talk about this.

  • I really hate History, but I do like little tidbits like this! :D Makes it FAR more interesting than just trying to remember the dates when wars started/ended. :/

  • Amazing vlog! I love history. <3

  • I love your vlogs and your books!! I've been recommending Sisters Red to pretty much everyone I know.

  • This video made me so happy, Jackson! The stories of the Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette's family, Amelia Earhart, and the Romanov family are 3 of my absolute favorites!

  • whoa, the journeys of a royal heart, a skeleton, and Russian duchesses. I agree, who loses a freaking skeleton! don't you think someone would be watching it 24/7?

  • Your videos are getting better every day.

  • I love the story of the Romanov family. Thanks for the history lesson!

  • Oh I love the Anastasia film :') The songs are amazing. Really interesting video :D 

  • I like the idea of Amelia Earhart landing on an island and surviving for a while.  Maybe because I just started watching Lost? Whatever, it's still cool. (Also, screw facts, that Anastasia movie is still my favorite. ^_^)

  • Very interesting.

  • the perfect book to accompany this video is Jennifer Donnelly's "Revolution."

  • I love history too, especially in WWI and WWII and I have several novel on what Anastasia's live may have been like. Historical Novels Rules!

  • If youve never been to Fiji, they kind of dont care about much other than sitting around and drinking kava, kickin it like a boss. Nice people, no work ethic or ability to care about historical materials.

  • I love this video! I love real-life mysteries like this. You should definitely do more videos like this in the future. They're always so interesting, and I love learning something new without having to go to school...

  • This just made my night. I've been sort of obsessed with Anastasia and Disney animation. (Even though Anastasia isn't a Disney production, but Don Bluth did work on some Disney films.) Anyway, this is an awesome video. :)

  • Tuberculosis: the easiest way to get rid of clingy people, e.g. Fantine from Les Mis, Louis XVII, George Orwell...

  • I loved it! It was very interesting! I love history! I wouldn't mind you doing more vidoes on history sometime :)

  • yeah, most animation (family) films based on historical events are inaccurate. case and point Pocahontas.

  • Know any history about anyone who managed to escape death? Oh, people in the past where very thorough when it came to eradicating the enemy.

    The daily lives and culture of people in different time periods have always been more exciting to me then dates and records. Anthropology = fun! Well, when some of the time, at least.

  • This was a terribly fascinating video. Why don't you have more subscribers?? You remind me of John Green from like 2008 or 2009.

  • @steelvenom2003 I am always questing for more subscribers! Tell your friends. And your mom. And strangers. ANYONE. PLEASE. :)

  • I really enjoyed the history in this video. Quite interesting! :D

  • I loved learning bits of history in this video! THX! more maybe..:D

  • Half the things i know i think i've learnt from you :o

  • That was a pretty cool video. I liked hearing about that. I too am interested in their personal lives or gossip. Lol. I know what History is important but...Idk. Nice video, Jackson!

  • im impressed by your knowledge! :)

  • I really liked this video... I am the same way XD

  • The first story is the plot of the book Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly.

  • @bookworm3583 I love that book (and yeah, Revolution revolves around the true story of Prince Louis's heart). :)

  • I adore the scandal in Henry VIII's court! Rather fun to learn about.

  • I love the history of Anastasia Romanov. I know that her mother was English and the granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Crazy no? There's some random history facts.

  • @jksarah Wasnt I thought the tsarina was German...?

  • @TwilightGeisha The tsarnia was born in Germany to a German father and an English mother (her mother was Princess Alice, daughter of Queen Victoria). So she was German by birth, English by heritage, and Russian by marriage.

  • @TwilightGeisha I went to go check and she was born in Germany so she whose. Thanks I learned something new. :)

  • From what I read in an article about the dead son of the last Austrian emperor, they still cut out the heart of some European royalty and bury it separately. Fun stuff.

    Also, I find the lives of the Romanov family so tragic.

    But I love videos about history. I hope you make some more!

  • Have you read Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly? It's all about Louis the XVII ^^

  • I absolutely adore history and I adore you so I absolutely adored this video... literally!

  • I swear I learn more on your history videos than I ever did in high school.

  • Wasn't there an old woman who washed up on shore somewhere at some time(vague memory is vague) and claimed she was Anastasia? Even when no-one believed her she still claimed it until she died several years later. That what my brother told me when I was a kid anyway.

  • @xXXHariboXX No that was Rose from Titanic. :D

  • @MammaMia Rose from the titanic doesn't exist :S

  • @danwarprox I was kidding!

  • @xXXHariboXX She didn't exactly wash up, but I think you mean Anna Anderson, a famous Anastasia Romanov imposter. She was put in a mental institution after a suicide attempt, but refused to give them her name. After about two years, she began claiming she was Anastasia. People who actually KNEW Anastasia said Anna was an imposter, but she still managed to convinced a lot of people (probably out of genuine mental illness). DNA testing since then proven that she was, in fact, an imposter.

  • I'm glad someone shares my interest for historical figures personal lives! Especially the general sex lives/how many affairs they had/if they had a secret male lover etc.

  • I greatly enjoyed that! And dang it, Fiji.  Get your act together.

  • Not sure if it's just the time of day but...

    DAAAAAAAMMMMNNNN GGIIIRRRRLLLLLL! You're lighting is so much nicer!

  • @JustSayingVloggity Yesterday I was in a rush and didn't set up lights-- today I had more time!
