I know that these long videos are hard to make, but on behalf of everyone, i want to say thank you for making them. It's great to see a series gathered together like this!
-
"Charles I kept falling into traps that he had layed down himself". Cant remember where I heard this but I feel this sums his actions nicely 😂
-
Cromwell is the embodiment of “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
-
Thank you to all the staff, the editors, scriptwriters, etc. You guys are preserving the love of history and knowledge at large
-
I watched the individual episodes but, I swing back for the complete series. You know a social studies teacher is using this in class while they grade essays.
-
A 3 hours documentary? That’s awesome!!
-
As I believe it was a Prussian once said, “The English have the finest heavy cavalry in the world, so long as you only need them for one charge.”
-
I was impatiently waiting for this compilation. Thanks you so much ❤️😊
-
Fascinating stuff. I’m an Ulster Prod myself. I remember reading that the Scots Covenanters attended their church services armed. And with sentry’s posted in all corners of the church.

2:30:22 "The artillery is stuck in a bog somewhere" - Mike Duncan of Revolutions Podcast, on the role cannons played in the English Civil Wars.
-
My family comes from the Scottish border reivers that raided both sides of the border during this time and before. This documentary hits home!
-
King Charles 2nd couldn’t defeat his enemies in battle so he decided to use his royal immortality potion and simply out live his rivals what an absolute legend 😂
-
This has always been an area of history I’ve been unfamiliar with but this documentary has really helped me grasp how Cromwell became a leader and the end of his regime.
-
I'm so happy you included the Battle of Worcester in this film! Thank you for listening :)
-
I cannot but feel a little Deja vu seeing Oliver Cromwell rise to power like Napoleon during the French revolution though minus conquering Europe and only calling himself "Lord Protector" rather then Emperor or even King.
-
I’m from Worcester (there is a fantastic little civil war museum called the commandery) it’s great to see it mentioned! Also lived in a small village between Bristol and Bath for a few years so seeing Marshfield (fantastic ice cream there btw) etc was also mad. Love the videos as always!!
-
how the monarchy fell over the years facilitating for the democratic ideas to take hold of england: 3 hours 22 minutes. how the entire revolution ended with the monarchy restored: 1 minute. just magnificent.
-
An underated period of history! Always wanted to know more about this time 👍
-
Nice! Thank you for showing us this 3 hr documentary. I have 3 suggestions that I’ll like to see for the Kings and Generals channel: 1) a long documentary about the thirty years war, 2) a series focusing on the second crusade 1145-1149, and 3) French wars of religion 1562-1598 because it creates the house of Bourbon, the monarchy that’ll play a role in the French Revolution. What do you think?
