truth to that in medieval fortification

Channel I’ll tell yall this much it was
a whole lot of war going on
back in those days right like the the
stories that we hear it’s
like I know they were a lot worse than
what we be thinking that’s why I like
when you watch the shows from back in
those days and you see how
horrific a lot of things were oh man you
know like right now I’m Googling why why
were castles built uh the main reason
castles were built was not for luxury
but for defense and protection another
reason for the construction of castles
was to remind the people of the land who
was in charge in medieval times the king
of La Lord owned all the land and gave
pieces of it to people to use so in all
reality you know I love castles I think
they I think they they’re definitely
magnificent you know looking back at
history but in all reality um a lot a
lot of Kings wer weren’t the the best
people you know Kings of the Earth were
not the best people a lot of them
definitely took advantage of the people
and and uh
people you know the people who don’t
really have that much it reminds me of
today it’s like in my hometown when you
go up the hill all the way up to the
north side all the way all the way up
mansions mansions mansions I mean un
just beautiful mansions but when you go
down that
Hill you ain’t G to see no Mansions you
know that’s where you’re going to see
the regular folk right and it’s it’s
still like that today you know that that
mentality I guess you know of power on
the top of the
hill regular people y’all get to the
bottom but uh man you know when I hear
about you know certain things with
castles it takes me to Game of Thrones
it takes me to remember Ramsey Bolton
and Game of Thrones and what he did to
Theon how he named him reek and man I
mean I know I know these castles be
having Spirits in them I know they do I
know Bo that being said that was amazing

  1. Appreciate your openness to learn, something that seems somewhat lacking in certain quarters currently.
    As a proud Scotsman and a proud Brit, there's too much to list, not only about my country but about Our Isles.
    A few recommendations to start off with –
    Skara Brae
    Forth Rail Bridge
    Fingal's Cave
    British Inventions
    British Music
    British Literature
    How often people focus on negatives to support narratives whilst ignoring that which is Great.
    Be well, cheers from Scotland 🍻
    By the way, no, Princess Diana, didn't do interviews out of Balmoral, that's where Her Majesty died. Not somewhere a wee tramp got to spout her pish. That's why Harry travelled there late without his cuntish Wife. As with Wallis.

  2. The pronunciations are a bit out. Glamis should be pronounced 'glarms'; I think it should be dun – ah – tah for Dunnottar ( might be dun out ar); and someone else may help with Culzean. 'Cullane'?
    The history of Scotland was certainly Game of Thrones-ish. It has been described as 'religion tempered by murder'! There were 7 James's who were Kings of Scots. The first 4 all died violently: James I was treacherously assassinated, although he tried to hide in a privy; James II went too near an early cannon – it exploded; James III was defeated in battle by rebels, including his son, and he was killed wandering around after the battle; and James IV decided to invade England and got killed at the Battle of Flodden.
    Stirling Castle really was strategic. Just about the only way to get from southern Scotland to further north went right by it. Otherwise there was swamp, a great lake, mountain forest, or the sea.

  3. To add a second comment. The extraordinary thing about the 'Monster of Glamis' is that the story may be true. What seems to have happened is that the then Countess of Strathmore – you're talking the 1820s – may have given birth to a severely deformed son. This was awkward, because he would have been the heir to the Earldom. So they hid him away, looking after him. What gives the game away is that in the 1860s workers doing repairs seem to have seen something, and got paid substantial sums. (Hush money?)
    The Queen Mother's grandfather always seemed to have a crushing problem. Did he know he was not the rightful Earl?
    When the Queen Mother was growing up in the Castle – she would be about 5 – she mentioned the little grey men she used to play with.
    As was common in those days, during World War I, soldiers – of all ranks – were sent to Glamis Castle. Many had PTSD. The young Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon – later the mother of Elizabeth II – mixed with the soldiers, and she was notoriously good with armed forces personnel for the rest of her life.

    King Charles III has just announced that there will be tours of more parts of Balmoral Castle, but they sound pricey.

  4. Most of the castles they’ve picked for this video are modern. 18th century is very new for a castle when Britain has got so many dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries.

  5. The main inspiration for Game of Thrones was the English “Wars of the Roses” – a series of epic civil wars between the houses of Lancaster and York. Sound familiar? You should definitely react to a video about it. It was an incredibly long, bloody, and complicated fight over the English crown, which went back and forth and back and forth, with a tonne of murder and intrigue thrown in. You couldn’t make it up.

  6. Why do ridiculous Americans always seem to prefer videos narrated by Americans ?? – Is it because we do not speak English correctly or know enough about the UK to make successful videos ?? – !! .. .. !!

  7. not sure if you know
    you can go to america without a passport or visa and without leaving the UK check it out
