It's trilogy time again. This is the first part in a new series spanning the epic twilight of Post-Roman Britain. One of the least well recorded periods in history. It was originally going to include the kingdoms of the Old North but the script was over 10,000 words so that's going to be the next video, and then there's going to be a third one too. I visited many of the places involved in this video and have been/ am going to to many more for the next two. Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed the video and why not share it with a like minded friend who loves history. Let me know any questions or concerns in the comments section & thanks for watching!

Could you make a vedio on the history of the seljuk sultanate of Rum.
Annonymous # Yes. I will tell the entire story of the Seljuks eventually. One of my favourite subjects.
"Arthur" did not appear in recorded history until circa 796 in a compilation by the monk Nennius, called the Historia Brittonum.
WTF...wife hold my beer!
@@dannyalex5866 lol
This channel is what The History Channel was supposed to be before it got taken over by truckers and pawn shop owners.
Spike Gomes cool
Dont forget aliens,they own it now!
Good point! I don't know what the hell they smoked to lower their content that way!..
@@olengagallardo8551 nazi aliens
Yes!
Amazing that a single man makes better documentaries than most of the so called professionals.
@Jeremy Kirkpatrick Bitch...
Americans are not feeling that way. Can u guess why
Nailed it
that's because the propagandists want the public as stupid and malleable as possible.
@@jasons44 I'm American and I love this series, it doesn't have any of the history Channel bullshit in it, so I don't know what you're trying to say
Also, praise to Hadrian
Your productions put shame on all these so called documentaries on mainstream TV and cable channels. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Nonsense. This dialogue drones endlessly on loop repeating itself but saying nothing. I gave up waiting for the commentary to go somewhere. Ugh
Tim Cent good content but the ridiculous, over the top hysterical music did it for me.
Tim Cent History Time isn’t for everyone. Plenty of simpler, less demanding channels out there.
Tim Cent let’s see you try? You’re just a common hater.
This channel is really GREAT. Who need TV when you have CZcams and channels like this? Watching from my hotel in Thailand and the TV is crap, thanks for this upload.
Thanks for watching really appreciate it.
Keep saying that and CZcams will be completely payperview
lol im in phuket at the moment, doing exactly the same...except im by the pool, with a coconut...watching this awesome video
When is TV this good anywhere?
@@Socially-Distance-Deez-Nutz cool, enjoy the coconut
Just want to thank you for your hard work in producing this. I’m a first language speaking Welsh/Old Briton who has an Irish father (who doesn’t have one of them though, right:)) and as such have always been aware of how pre Anglo Saxon Britain has been largely ignored by mainstream media. Your enthusiasm is paramount and your works are meticulous and are as masterful as any big budget documentary I’ve seen. Diolch yn fawr/go raith maith agat.
you would like 'britains hidden history ross' on here very much then too
I've only recently found this channel. And as an avid watcher of historical documentaries these are among the best I have ever watched. Very informative and well edited
This channel reminds me of what the History channel used to be when I was growing up. Great informative documentaries. Gives me hope for humanity. Keep up the great work.
Dude Sweet yeah, Fuck the ‘history channel’!
Everything is designed to keep the curious dumb
The ousting of the current administration, even with their rigging the elections, obstructing the vote, rigging the vote counting and even stealing the election by replacing electors with their own, and still lost the election, though he is taking pot shots of the government and doing everything he can, and more, to undermine the government and the country as he had been doing all all along, but now even more so out of spite! I hope he continues to resist the outcome of the election and refuses to leave the White House so I can see him drug out by his hair and taken to prison, where he and so many of his treasonous supporters, in and out of the government, belong!
@@nightlightabcd Thank God (whoever s/he.it is) that there is someone else out there who can see the similarities of the downfall of other civilisations as being followed or repeated today. I write before the new year 2021. What is Trump playing at?. The evidence is out there of rigged elections. Why is he not exposing it? Is it because , just like the paid indigenous informants of the Romans, he is receiving a higher sum from such as Bill Gates. Or is it the knowledge of their crimes that allows the NWO to control them????
@@nightlightabcd Stfu and quit projecting.
The history channel was never this good!
Wow, you've put in so much work and dedication into this by personally going to many of these sites and documenting them yourself! That's amazing and I'm sure it's given you a level of understanding and depth about these places that one just can't get from books alone - it definitely shows in your documentary. You also do an amazing job of connecting Roman Britain to the early middle ages and make it so much easier to understand for those of us (like myself) who don't know much about this era. Thanks so much for sharing your love of early Britain with us...really looking forward to parts II and III!
Love your channel. You do a good job on your videos mate.
They were the watchers on the wall, the shields that guarded realms of men.
And there is even a portion of the Housteads Museum dedicated to the Nights Watch. Hadrian's Wall obviously had a massive impact on GRR Martin.
@@HistoryTime he has said he first got the idea by visiting Hadrian's wall.
Game of Thrones was written based on the history of the War of the Roses. The Lords of Lancaster vs the Lords of York. Aka Lannister vs Stark with Targaryens being the Tudors. And the North Men being Scots
@@CavemanJesus4Life How would you know about any of this? You're a caveman.
@@CavemanJesus4Life Yes, but not only. Martin himself said that Cersei was inspired by the She-Wolf of France (defending her sons and territories in both France and southern Britain), and that he also took elements from the 100 Years War.
Valyria would be a fusion of the Greeks and the Romans (and the myth of Atlantis of course).
I also find parallels with the migrations into Europe, with the giants being the Neanderthals, the First Men the first Cro-Magnon, the Roynar and Andals the later Indo-Europeans waves... but that may be too much imagination on my part.
I live a few miles from Birdoswald, Hadrian’s Wall is a beautiful part of the country! Great video once again!
You lucky
I live in the west end of newcastle the little bits of hardians wall are the only thing worth looking at in the full area 😂
Septimus servirus built the wall not hadrian
It's a pity the wall and its forts were robbed of their stone. Damned vandals.
@@bigste5771 😆
There is something about this period in both Britain and Ireland that is simply magical to put it.
I feel the same and I’m not even British
So true
Well if you consider the endless wars , violence , diseases and all that stuff magical ...
Have you ever read "How the Irish Saved Civilization"?
@@billolsen4360 Probably 20+ years ago. It's Western Civilization after the fall of Rome btw, not all civilization :)
The eastern half of the Roman Empire, which survived another ~1,000 years, also did a lot to preserve & advance civilization-as did the Arabs with their work in science & maths.
I think the impact that we Welsh have had on the history of these islands, is painfully understated. Great video 👍🏻
Welsh Julie a survey carried out about 15 years ago on y chromosome evidence carried out on a geographical line across from Aberystwyth to East England showed Welsh are Brits and English are Germanic Scandinavian
In America as well, I had numerous Welsh ancestors arrive here prior to 1700.
I think you Welsh and the Cornwallians are the true Brits, the rest of us, specially in the northeast where I am, are more scandanavian than anything else
@@hellohandsome9875 What about Cheddar man from Somerset?
@@SallySturman OK, never heard of him,,,, what I'm saying is when our island was invaded by basically what is western Europe, the true Brits were pushed westward or killed, so the "foot" of this island and the bump that is now Wales is where the real brits are
I'm on the high end of the autism spectrum and tend to focus on a few subjects very vigorously. I have been fascinated by Roman Britain and post Roman British history for years. I devour it and find it so interesting. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you.
This reminds me to re-read Bernard Cornwell's books about Arthur.
What a great series of books...poor gawain...
Probably the best historical fiction I've ever read.
Cornwell is great in general.
I LOVED those books! I will have to find those books again. My last copies were destroyed along with a majority of my book collection when the roof of the storage unit they were in collapsed!
@@jeremyweaver9598 it took me about 5 years to find the last one Excalibur in my native greek language
Equally as romanticised
This shames all the current history "documentaries" on TV right now. Excellent narration, informative and no bias.
This is one of the best documentary channels covering world history on CZcams.
Thanks, Pete. My paternal grandfather, Dennis Ambrose Kelly was born in Newtown, Wales in 1884, grew up in Ireland, and emigrated to the US around 1900, joined the Sixth Cavalry in South Dakota, mined the same vein of coal in Pittsburgh that his forbears did at its other end in the UK, was a gifted singer and died in 1935, 22 years before I was born. So much change in two generations. I’ve not traveled outside the States, but I hope to reach your shores one day and so appreciate your wonderfully informative channel, along with others. I continue to learn about history of the land and its people, deeply moved by the powerful currents affecting all. Many thanks to you for your research and presentation. ✌️🙏🖖
Right Ho. Will meet you on the beach then.
Regards from England.
@@SuperMYSHKIN
And I’ll happily stand you a pint of your favorite. ✌️😊🎶😎
@@adrianekelly2966 Cheers friend, you're too kind.
Beautiful countryside around Newtown. I love that area of mid Wales, lovely wooded hillsides bisected by rivers. Hope you do make it over some day.
Not even a quarter of the way through the video, and I've already learned so much more than I'd heard before, especially the unintended consequence of broad scale Roman citizenship. I'm ready now for the rest!
Edit: I suspect I'm going to be watching this one several times.
Did you film all the B roll footage of all those hillforts? That must have been time consuming, but awesome. This documentary is grade A material. What a huge effort you've put in to produce a really amazing and informative documentary. Love it. I hope this stuff gets the recognition it deserves.
I did indeed! I am hoping to feature them and many more sites in documentaries to come over the years ! Thank you for your kind comment !
@@HistoryTime what a guy. Pure class act. You remind me of David Attenborough.
@@Scratchy314 David was always nature, not history.
Perhaps Simon Schama would be more accurate.
He does have a kind of David Attenborough vocal quality, albeit a bit more animated rather than David's rather laid back tone - albeit Simon has to engage his audience more as he's not dealing with living things that can hold your attention all by themselves.
This channel has quickly become my favorite history based channel on youtube. The length and depth the videos have, as well as really good books mentioned and shown (I've ordered quite a few already, thanks for showing me some great literature!) makes this channel fantastic!
Thank you for uploading these, and heres to many more like it! Keep up the good work man.
Your work is superb. Even without financial and technical infrastructure you outmatch many other producers by sheer scientific quality of the content, your good narrative presentation and intellectual objectiveness. Thank You and all the best mate.
Yes! There are so few documentaries regarding this period. There need to be more. Thank you
You deserve to be recognized for your incredible diligence and scholarship. In a world where far too many content creators seem to think everyone likes a shallow TikTok style, you give us the meat of a university course. Keep it up!
Your videos are great. They do much more than just scrape the surface of the subject. They give a lot of information. Thanks for making it!!!
I'm very proud to say I walked the length of hadrians wall as part of my Prince's trust award.
It was incredibly interesting, and an experience I will never forget.
Well done ,my daughter Mairead works for the prince s trust, keep well and safe...E
These are "must watch" documentaries. I don't watch local TV and this is perfect for my tastes in viewing. I love history and biblical archaeology documentaries. This has become my "go-to" research library. Thank you for making all this invaluable information available to us.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these documentaries. It absolutely shows that you are truly passionate about history and take great care in the production of these videos. Your narration is top notch! Thank you!
Oh boy, here we go! This is going to be good.
Thanks Artur! Always great to see your comments.
@@HistoryTime ☺
Artur M. Nice name
These videos are honestly amazing! I’ve just stumbled across them but they are way more informative and entertaining than the history shows on TV. I often put them on as I’m going to sleep and end up sat upright in bed enthralled in the video. Thank you to the creator of this channel. You’ve got my sub 👍
Love your documentaries. Well made, interesting, and - you’re lucky to have a great voice, and you read well. Thank you. Keep making them - I’ll put up with the ads because the stories are so good!
Always super excited to see new uploads. You do phenomenal work, and this is a time period I am very interested in.
This video was so freaking amazing! Great job! I love all your videos and ancient britian is my favourite time period. You do it such justice and with an amazing narration as well really top notch videos! If i could give you a million thumbs up i would!
I love the mystery of period in British history. Thanks for putting together a great episode on this.
- I'm getting addicted to your voice and this channel! - great work! /M
I did not like history at school. Now i love listening to history.Thank you so much God bless
There are some issues I think ought to be addressed, perhaps in upcoming videos:
-The Edict of Carcalla is presented in a somewhat one-dimensional way here. True, it did weaken the military to a significant extent, as it removed a major motivation for joining the army. But crucially it also removed a major motivation to fight the Empire. If once peace is restored you become a full Roman citizen, plus you get the benefits of Roman infrastructure, plus squabbles between your chieftain and the one of the tribe on the other side of the hill become irrelevant... Well, you might just decide that it's not all bad now the Romans are here if you're legally one of them.That edict took the air out of lots of resistance movements, leading to a situation where troops were hardly needed to keep the Pax Romana.
-Borders such as Hadrian's Wall and the Limes in Germany were rather peaceful most of the time. One reason is that they said in very loud words, "OK, we Romans have what we wanted. You leave us be, we leave you be." It wasn't always true, of course, but normally for long enough to have decades of, if that, minor skirmishes. The other reason is, the borders were never closed to merchants and rarely to small, only lightly armed groups of migrants, such as families peacefully moving into the Empire. Getting wine to Scotland wasn't easy, but at the Roman garrisons you could buy it -and you could sell your own stuff there.
"We can crush you any time we want" was an important factor in maintaining the Pax Romana, definitely. But peace and comparative wealth by citizenship for all free people inside and huge volumes of trade were at least as important.
Btw: I'm writing this before I finish watching. Forgive me if I harped on things that are yet to come up.
Another possible candidate for "King Arthur" is a British "warlord" named Riotamus, a real historical figure of the late 5 century mentioned by a Gaul bishop Sidonius Apollinaris. Active c. 467 he came possibly from Britain ("from the Ocean") to aid Emperor Anthemius (467 - 473) against the Visigoths of Eurich and participated in a battle in which he was defeated but managed to escape the battlefield and find custody in the modern Burgundy.
Any traces of his fate disappear from historical records afterward. Although, Sidonius is quoted to title him "a king", the word itself was non-existent and clearly stems from the German "könig" or Scandinavian "konung" (both are the same word). The Roman equivalent was "rex" and meant some rank or administrative title (just like "dux" from which "duke" came) so whether Sidonius referred to him by his actual rank or the one he thought would suit Riotamus best is unclear but "king" and "kingdoms" in relation to the era are more confusing than otherwise. But this account undoubtedly points to the Roman heritage of both Riotamus and any other prominent British figure who continued to consider themselves servants and subjects of Rome long after 410 and possibly as long as Romanized segments existed in Britain. Also, the translation matters: "king of Britons" or "king of the Britons"? The former implies only a faction, and the latter represents all the people of Roman Britain which may have or not have been the case.
Great video!!!
Love the in depth look into the time period. You can tell some serious effort was put into the making of this video vs a lot of the other “ made for the radio” channels content.
i could listen to your documentaries all day, every day, you are so calm yet you convey your enthusiasm for your subject so well, reminiscent of the great documentary makers pre- this world of instant gratification and soundbites with no substance
Arthur has always fascinated me. 1 man holding an entire world together, then he dies and it all goes with him.
I wouldn't say entire world.
But the whole land..!
Yes.
One land,
One king..!
The guy who makes these videos is the hero we need but don't deserve. Great work these documentaries are awesome. You got my sub.
Brand new viewer here, History Time, and a lifelong history buff. I’m blown away by the quality of this first video I’ve seen in your channel. Content, delivery, historicism, visuals - all put many professional productions to shame. Instant subscribe. Thankyou. I’m looking forward to more and have also subscribed to your Voices of the Past sister site. What a great idea that is - the site I’ve longed for all my life. Applause all round, including to your sponsors.
I really appreciate the quality of these videos, and the quiet enthusiasm of Pete's voice!
A fantastic documentary! The wealth of information in it is astounding, especially compared to many "mainstream" productions that increasingly seem to cater to viewers whose erudition roughly equals that of nomadic herdsmen.
I can only imagine the amount of work and time it took to compile all relevant information, and am grateful for that effort.
Many thanks!

OMG laugh out loud.
And now you sound just like the colonizers who based assumptions of nomadic peoples on their own lifestyles!
@@catofthecastle1681 So?

Superb! This is one of my all time favorite channels. Much better than many of the "main stream" documentary channels out there. Thanks again!
Excellent documentary on an often overlooked period in Europe's history.
Hadrian's wall was surplanted for a time by Antionne's Wall
Superb, many thanks. Extremely well produced, researched and narrated.
This has been my favourite piece of yours to watch and comprehend Pete. Such meticulous research is timeless and I'm sure will be counted on in future by swathes of educators. Thank you for bringing this knowledge to life in such a fascinating way.
I believe that Ambrosius Aulelianus probably was “Arthur.” He was probably descended from an ancestor who was a Roman citizen and official of some sort. His parents and grandparents may have given their children Roman names, based on names that had been in their family for several generations. On the other hand, he probably had a British name, or nickname, that was used by his British subjects--probably derived from some form of modern Welsh “arth” or Bear. The bear is a ferocious and strong animal, very determined in a fight, and would therefore make a good nickname for a courageous warlord. That would explain why in Welsh and Cornish tradition he was known as “Arthur,” not Ambrosius Aurelianus.
One piece of evidence for this is that Nennius, writing in the 9th century A.D., gives the same list of victorious battles as victories of “Arthur” as the list of victories that the 5th century chroniclers attributed to Ambrosius Arelianus.
Britons, many of whom in the period could read or write or speak Latin, could hardly be expected to use a stuffy, long Roman name for their hero. Instead they called him by his British name. And that is the name that stuck to him in subsequent legend and story.
An investigator, forget his name, Made a very convincing case that Ambrosius was actually Merlin and Arthur was not a name but a title, that I think meant eagle, and was given to people of certain status. He goes into historic documents, about ambrosius as a child, that Parallels that old story of Merlin having a psychic vision of 2 dragons underneath the castle.
Another masterpiece Pete. Thank You for all this wonderful and so valuable work.
Great documentary. I've been reading about Arthur for some decades now. However, you shed a new light on matters for me. Keep up the good work!

WOW! Incredibly well done and incredibly informative! You've given me an enormous amount of information most of which I had no idea of!
Wow! This video was extremely well produced. You certainly did your homework to present this video. Congrats!! 👍
One of my favorite history channels this is. I'm a self proclaimed youtube history channel expert ... so take that for what it is. You are one of the best. When I watch your channel it's like listening to a story as opposed to some dude droning on about stuff.
You have the most perfect voice for documentaries :D
Finally, I've discovered a video worth watching, with a narrator who speaks at normal and relaxed pace and does not sound like Minnie or Micky Mouse on speed in haste. Thankyou so much for this professional presentation. Priceless, remarkable.
I just found your channel and watched this documentary. Outstanding work ! I subscribed and look forward to more spectacular documentaries ! Thank you
You've made some of the best informative videos I've ever seen. Thankyou 👍🤩
You do such an amazing job!!I love all your work! And learn so many things I never knew. Keep it up these videos are wonderful.
Quite agree...
Brilliant documentary…..content, narration, music….best ive ever found….will be rewatching
many times……
wow this was so good i clicked on it not expecting to watch the whole thing but was hooked after the first 2 minutes some of the best content i have seen yet.
For a one man team your work is really amazing! Appreciate you mate
Fantastic, love the longer more in depth film.
AGREED.

Love your vids @historytime keep up the awesome work. Best history channel on CZcams!!!
You make me remember the cool documentaries from when I was young. Great work and great nostalgia trip!
Another great video.
I really enjoyed the Skystone books by Jack Whyte about this period. His spin on the Arthur Legend is the most sound to my thinking. I highly recommend the series.
Thank you for your service, History Time !
Liked and subscribed. Good job in making the video. I'm a crazy Mexican living in England, and I get excited to think I have visited half of the places mentioned here, and I look forward to visit the other half. cheers!
thank you for this documantaire . i like the pass you youre keeping , the footage , image's and localy shot video's are very sharp and the pictures off the city's or outpost's ... well , take's me little to nothing to imagine how it would have been like in those days. As i do like history but also fantasy , this documantary connects very well with one off my personal favorite "Camelot/king Arthur "story"s. The singing sword by Jack Whyte. looking forward to see the next episode"s and well thanks again ,for your efforts to make and share this beautifull kind off mystical piece off history.
This was fantastic! Finally I see the hard work of somebody willing to stitch so much together, yet also refrain from making assumption... this is the best way for me to learn or find material to ponder. Thank you!!
Everyone of his productions are superior to most (probably all) that I’ve seen in my 60 years!
Love your commentary of your sponsoring for a sponsor, real class,Thank You ,! Two Thumbs UP, !!-!!
Fascinating times. Reoccupation of hill forts abandoned for centuries. Would be like us reoccupying ruins from the 1600s
mainly just the earth work was left in most cases. No need to resculpt the land if it was already convenient...
This is a really good video. Very comprehensive, historically, and with good production values. Nice work!
This is an amazing piece of work. Thank you for your excellent work.
I saw in a 1936 Encyclopedia Brittanica, I still have it, that the coast of England wasn't the same in for instance the time of ancient Rome, as now. That's because of sections of land having been eroded away, into the sea. It also showed a map of those sections of land.
Trust me, most of us don't mind the fact that the commercials are necessary. Your documentaries are amazing and incredibly well done. No apology needed, though it's incredibly courteous of you!
fascinating stuff,excellent documentary.well done for doing this all by yourself and thank you for posting.
I've just discovered this channel and am very impressed. Thank you for producing such interesting documentaries.
You did a pretty good job of making this video in you're own. I have seen a lot of this kind of vid's but this one stands pretty much above them. Hello from the netherlands near the river what the romans called Isala
The only problem at Birdoswald is that a bend of the River Irthing is gradually eating away the southern ridge that the Roman fort of Camboglanna stands on, and unless some serious shoring up isn't done in the next few years, the whole site will one day topple down into the river. We have far too few Roman buildings in Britain to allow the loss of such an important site. 😢
Indeed. I contemplated this a few weeks ago as I looked out over the (incredibly windy) ridge
This is the same Camboglanna that's some conjecture was the site of the battle of Camlann where Arthur and Medraut we're killed
The Roman Legions could never defeat the Celts at Hadrian's Wall.
@@kj-my7se what mushrooms did you eat?
I usually never click on anything labeled "documentary". Since documentaries produced for television always are devoid of information. They are just made to create a sense of wonder, with a commentator that just asks questions again and again insinuating there will be an answer later on if one just watches a bit more, including all the ads.
Gave this one a chance though since it was a way more interesting topic than documentaries usually have, and quickly forgot about the issue as I enjoyed it and was submerged in the documentary. It was packed with information and one get a quick but overarching picture of the transition from roman Britain to saxon Britan. I've got the explanation to why it was different when the commentator suddenly apologized for breaking the fourth wall, and I realized this was actually produced by a youtuber.
TL;DR - Great work!
Your voice is super relaxing.
I listen at work and try learn something while I'm working and the voice narrating has me super relaxed and at peace
Appreciate the content!!
As an American, the accent is unknown to me.

These documentary are excellent. The voice, the speed, the vocabulary, the tone, and of course, the subject, are all very, very good. I always give preference for History Time.
Very well done video!
