If this goes to plan, and I’m confident it will, you will have the only legit Henry IV KZitem video with any real substance. Well done in advance 😀 and thank you again !!

Yes, the entire nation wanted a real king with king like qualities, education, friendliness, martial qualities👉🏻lets be serious here; Bolingbroke was a real badass, worldwide....he was worldly, had seen and done it all, and was most reliable! Then the turned on him, limited his purse to 6,000 pounds per year! Wtf was he to do with that? He had heirs! He did what his nation required and they treated him like shid...but they burned women men at the stake so they were a society that got what they gave--fear uncertainty and war....

It seems so weird that John of Gaunt had to push the Salic law, when in England male-preference primogeniture was established already. In other case why then Edward III's daughter, Isabella of Woodstock, only two years younger than prince Edward, was never considered as heiress? I believe that no one took Mortimers' claim seriously until Richard II preffered them before his uncles. By the way, thank you for the content! It's well detailed and well researched. It also pleases me to see documentaries on the less popular monarchs. Henry IV is certainly greatly overlooked. I admire him for his personal courage and tenacity (though Ian Mortimer's representation of him feels like a bit too adoring). If he wasn't an usurper, he would be far more successful as a king. I wager that for such a pious man, who was raised in great respect for the kingship, it was painfull to bear the burden of Richard's murder. I wouldn't be surprised if conscience tormented him at times.

What the narrator fails to say is that Richard’s mother Joan of Kent, was the granddaughter of Edward I. Her father, a brother of Edward II that was deposed, was considered a traitor after his brother was murdered. So while he died in disgrace, she wasn’t looked down upon, rather cherished in the court of Edward III and Queen Philippa. Also the favoritism is very evident in this narration.

@@undertakerlargestfan It's hard to say. Certainly the *royal* court was predominantly French-speaking, & leading nobles would be encourage to tutor their children in French if they wouldn't already. But IIRC there is some evidence of royal effort to 'preserve' the French language & 'encourage' its use among the noble classes, which would lead me to believe that some quarters were adopting it out of convenience fairly early on. Henry V was certainly the first to use English in a universal capacity (his personal correspondence, etc.). But although he was uniquely successful, he hardly disagreed w/ his father on everything (they bickered about politics mostly, not culture), so that leads me to believe they were more similar in bearing than different, but that's just me.

Very interesting video! I would like to add a few words about Henry's Lithuanian adventures. First of all, I don't know how to Interpret the sentence about battling the "Russian-Lithuanian" Army. My guess is that the Lithuanian forces were described that way because the majority of the population of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania at this point were the Orthodox East Slavs or "Ruthenians", Belarusians and Ukrainians as we would call them in the modern times. More important though, the whole "crusade" had hardly any right to be called that. In 1386 the last pagan Grand Duke of Lithuania, Jogaila took baptism and married the young Queen of Poland (technically crowned as "King") Jadwiga of the House of Anjou, becoming the King of Poland as Władysław Jagiełło and uniting both realms in a personal union. A bishopric was established in Vilnius in 1387 and shortly after Pope Urban VI officially recognized the christianization of Lithuania. However, the Teutonic Order didn't acknowledge that and launched yet another invasion of Lithuania (exploiting the conflict between Jogaila and his cousin Vytautas), advertising it to the western knights as "crusade", as if nothing changed. Among the defenders of Vilnius in 1390 there was a contingent of definitely Catholic Polish knights.

OMG! Why have I never heard that Edward III agreed the throne should pass through the male line only, thus excluding Philippa's Mortimer descendants?!?! People seem to take it as a given that the Mortimers (& thus the Yorks) had a better claim to the throne than the Lancasters, since they were descended from Lionel who was older than John, but I've always wondered why female-line descent was acceptable there, when it didn't seem to count the rest of the time. (Unless the male line died out completely, that is). If it _did_ count, what about the descendants of Edward III's eldest daughter Isabel, who was older than Lionel? Really interesting, & great to hear about the first Lancastrian king- the next two get far more attention.

Very simple really, the reason why female-line all the sudden counted was because the person who had the bigger army said so. The Yorks won. Therefore, their female decent gave th a better claim. The truth is rules of succession are completely made up and subject to interpretation and change depending on whose in charge. It's why conquest was a legitimate claim, but to make your ascension smoother removing anyone who *looks* like they have a better claim than you is probably for the best, as they too can one day amass an army.

Netflix’s ‘The King’ made him look like this awful tyrant because of the way he put down rebellion but there’s no doubt that he was important to English history, he was the first to speak English instead of French as his first language and he did what he had to do to get rid of his cousin who was an awful King

@@jamespercy6753 and Edward I was also able to speak English but the point is that since the Norman conquest all Kings until Henry IV spoke French as their first language including Richard II , he only spoke in English to be able to communicate to the peasants

Edward knowing how to speak English is disputed, as a lot of aspects of his life were made up to make him more popular. Richard was the first to definitely speak English, (you were right about the first language thing though)

I saw it as how almost all old kings are. It is very rare you can look at an old kind in his last times and not see the weight of failings when the shine of past glory is too far to obfuscate the reality of rule.

Very well thought out. Thanks! My only wish: less zooming of the pictures. Everyone seems to be doing it nowadays, but I find it annoying and distracting. And overdone - should be used sparingly, as a condiment, not an entree.

Compliments. You have filled in the blank spaces - with details seldom mentioned in historical accounts and the constant wrangling for the throne. Nicely done.
