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.

Hello Chris, Jeff in Rhode Island…
Hello, Chris. Hope you're having a fine day. It's cloudy and wet here in Tennessee, perfect day for falling asleep on the couch during a repeat of Super Bowl XXXIII.
Donald Pleasance was positively frightening when he portrayed Himmler. Great video. Thank you!
Roald Dahl has an interesting wartime story .. hello from Helsinki
Love history
Excellent information on Simon Demontfort
Do a video about the history of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch hahaha (just a joke)!
Lewes is in East Sussex
Have you done the battle of Sedgemoor yet?
One of the things that watching your videos has made me more aware of… the extent of English “civil wars” throughout history. Maybe it was the same on the continent, but it just seems that the British Isles were frequently in armed political turmoil.
Very interesting history lessons as always. However, as The British Union did not exist until 1707, anything prior to this is English history (or Scottish) and not British.
Great job on the Pleasance story.
Hello from Thailand
I have heard that some England footballers did the Nazi salute but then raised 2 fingers in a very English gesture.
