My name is Chris Green and I love to share stories from British history. Not just because they are interesting but because, good or bad, they have shaped the world we live in today.
History should not be stuffy or a long list of dates or kings & queens.
So rather than lectures or Youtube animations, I tell stories that bring the past to life.
My aim is to be chat as if I were having a coffee or meal with you. Jean in Maryland, USA recently wrote: “Chris, is the history teacher I wish I had at school!”
Just for the record, I do have a history degree in Medieval & Modern history from the University of Birmingham.

Hi Chris.its Mike I've got the booklet about HMS Amethyst, my birth stone, it was released after the film was released. I would ask if you want to borrow it I would lend it to you but I would require it back after you used it. M
Sorry, missed the Zoom. Light Covid that makes me sleep. Don't worry, I fell asleep BEFORE the Zoom not during.
Drachinifel did a GREAT episode on the Russian fleet travel to its demise in Japan. Very British. Very dry humor. Drach is the U.K. naval expert from ancient history to just after WW II. I was a Drach Patreon for 2 years but I wanted to spread to other providers so you that lead to my sponsoring you. 🙂 So many good providers.
Chris, will you touch on Richard Burton's rather Victorian sensibilities that influenced his translation of a certain Indian book or guidebook?
The Live is just a little too early for America, but I'm catching you at dawn in Texas.
❤
what happened to Napoleon's armies after they were disbanded
Thank God for that. I thought I'd gone deaf. Lol.
Great show.👍👍👍
On the subject of Henry III, what about a video on William Marshall.
You never mentioned hereward the wake
The ultimate resistance movement
Chris an idea, ' His Majesty's Airship'…Yes?…
Somehow watching you talk about the Russo-Japanese war made me think about my great-great-great grandfather – Samuel Lafayette Jones. He died at Christmas 1864 of pneumonia after surviving Sherman’s March to the Sea. Sigh. Named after a Frencher.
Wish you would touch on the very remarkable Colonial 'Loyalists' active during the 'revolting' American War – their 1st Civil War that few talk about. The fascinating 'Haldiman Papers' (on-line for free) are absouletly rich in coverage & details of British-Loyal groups & remarkable individuals (read their personal accouts). . . My own direct maternal ancestors were deeply involved, just a table seat away from the more famous. The Dutch half had been there since 1627 (first miller of new Amsterdam), the English side since 1637 and the Scots side since 1651 after deported by Cromwell for fighting for Price Charles. Few of the revolting 'Yankees' had that pedgree but 'Hollywood' insists we were merely 'British' and not 'revolting' American.
Thankfully I agree . . .
It would perhaps be interesting to compare sometime, the demands & issues of the ‘Levellers in 1647 at the end of the first English Civil War then (1641-47), with also the demands & issues raised in an earlier civil conflict in England, during the ‘Peasants Revolt’ by the likes of John Ball & Wat Tyler in 1381, then almost some 300 years before those times too!
Maybe potential grist or kernels here for the mill, for a/some future episode(s) then, Chris, interlinking on how democratic & representative government gradually developed in Britain through the ages??!!
You really are spoiling us with three videos this week.
The St Crispins video was absolutely brilliant.
Love these videos. Listen while I’m painting little toy soldiers for tabletop games. 🙂 Any chance that King Charles will declare war on Parliament, do you think? Polishing up my pot helm and halberd, just in case! Just kidding, had to sell the halberd to pay my taxes.
Fan of your channel, well done. One my favorite classic movies is The Man Who Would Be King. The original Kippling story was inspiried by some Victorian British adventures; could you do a video on the stories of some of the men that might have been that inspiration.
