Where did you get the historical map of the English coastline? It is outstanding!
11:44 Whats wrong with north of Cambridge? Heavy snow? Flood? Software bug?
Excellent as always. Bloody Meadow was at the end of the battle rather than the main plain it was fought on but you're right that Towton is famous for it, as is Tewkesbury. You might want to edit the graphics a little – you have Towton as Townton and half of Norfolk has disappeared into The Wash when Edward is marching north. But that aside, superbly put together once again.
Here's too my fellow "tough men of East Anglia!"
best intro to a video you have ever done… so good
i just realised stark and lannister = york and lancaster. cant believe i never saw it before. and game of thrones sounds itself sounds a lot like wars of the roses
