Hearted Youtube comments on Empire-Builders (@Empire-Builders) channel.

  1. Hell yeah, I was thinking these past few days when is Empire Builders going to drop a video. Been thinking about the HRE for the last couple of weeks.

  2. I mean?

  3. At the fourth minute when he so ..diligently.. listed all the nations that were part of the HRE he named all but my own, Slovenia whos been part of the damn Empire since its inception. And the lands of the nation were part of the empire before the Chech, Polish, Danish or damn, even before the SAXONs the quintessential Germans were part of it. Having our lands conquered by the Franks and having our first nation of Karantania destroyed and then forced to be under the German yolk for 1300 YEARS.

  5. As Iraqi I say I am very exited for your great work in one of the most important civilisation in human history

  6. I know you had to be stoked when you found the Bush clip basiclly name dropping your channel while being in context. Great vid, hope your channel blows up soon.

  7. I'm not even sure what to say 😂 It's so messed up, I doubt even an AI would be able to come up with this

  8. Another absolute banger as to be expected, and it's incredibly nice to get 'sidetracked' from the dynastical narrative in order to get character pieces like this. History is full of incredible lives that are not only interesting in and of themselves, but serve as windows into their timeperiods. Keep up the good work.

  9. Just came from the merovingian and charlemagne's videos, incredible work of an incredible channel, I had to check twice after seeing the number of subscribers when the quality of production is this high, good job mate (or mates if there is several of you). Also I'm really happy the merovingians get some love as they are often a bit left out of the spotlight, it's not their fault the rest of French history is so stacked.

  10. Great video and learned significantly more about the Merovingians than I did before Martel and Pepin appear on the history books.

  11. too many people idolize the -zollern one. But the one here, the -staufen one, is the real deal

  12. You are by far the best youtuber on the medieval era of history; keep up the great work!

  13. I never once realised or made any connection between Clovis and Louis but thinking about it Louis in the Latin alphabet which would have originally been used would be Lovis as there was no letter "u" and so a "v" was used, and that now makes me wonder if the modern pronunciation of the name Clovis is just that, "modern", did it used to be pronounced as "Cloowie" back in the day? Of course nobody will ever know and we can only assume for one or the other.

  14. You're becoming one of the top history channels on YouTube with your writing and narration on the videos. Thanks for all your work, this is some good stuff

  15. I was getting ready to roll my eyes at the same old "Sumer is the first state therefore Sumer is the first civilization" narrative but was glad to see the inclusion of Wengrow who is one of the few white European scholars rejecting this. Also, I'm sure you meant nothing by it but the wheel is not necessary a mark of civilization but instead a mark of people evolving to suit environmental factors! Civilizations in Africa with large scale agriculture and building projects did not have the wheel because Oxen drew their ploughs. We need to interrogate the meaning of the word "civilization" and where/who we apply it to because it is often used to say that one group is MORE civilised than another, therefore one group has the right to civilise or to dominate the uncivilised group. It can get ugly very quickly.

  16. Haha, what a surprise! Certainly wasn't expecting you to do us next. From Russia with love <3.

  17. These videos are great. I'm so excited to say that I've been watching since the beginning lol. Edit: By the way, I got a friend into your videos and I messaged her when this one dropped. She watched it this morning and told me it was "fire".

  25. I was told in AP Ancient Civilization, Caracalla had the “softness” beat out of him (by orders of his father). I sort of believe it because he hated his father. Edit: my professor had no evidence to back this. But as we pontificated about his behavior, this was a theory we tried to conclude.

  26. Keep it up! No one covers this part of history like you!

  27. Justinian the II would make an amazing video. Mediocre emperor but exciting life that could be a movie, and hardly any Youtube videos on him

  33. Kubrick would have done a great Napoleon, because he was Napoleon! Would have been an autobiography!

  37. Amazing work on that one. I can never get enough of that fascinating era.

  38. I want to watch this right right now, but I am busy. So I am commenting and liking early to possibly help with the algo and coming back that is all this comment is for and I had nothing meaningful to say or add, so I typed out exactly what I was doing... oh and I am going to like this too.

  39. Fantastic, captivating and informative. It's hard to keep my attention, especially with your awesome music choices. Yet you did it. Many thanks 💙💯

  40. Still a banger as always, and it's easy to tell you put a lot of effort into making this look great. That in combination with the fact that we're dealing with what would be called 'niche' history, this channel remains one of my favorites and just a constant treat!

  41. Love this new video of yours Brother👍One of the many Unsung Tribes and People's of the West. Don't get me wrong, I love that there is alot of attention given to prominent groups like the Romans and Greeks, but the development of Western civilization owes a significant debt to a diverse array of our lesser known tribes and people of Germanic roots. Germanic peoples such as the Vandals, Burgundians, Franks, and Suebi played such crucial roles in shaping the political and cultural landscape of Europe. I mean, look at the Vandals, known for their seafaring prowess, established a kingdom in North Africa, where they not only controlled key Mediterranean sea routes but also left a lasting impact on North African culture. The Burgundians, after establishing a kingdom in southeastern Gaul, made alot of significant contributions to the legal and social structures of early France. The Franks, under Clovis, laid the foundation for the Merovingian dynasty and the future kingdom of France. Meanwhile, the Suebi, who migrated across the Rhine, established a kingdom in Galicia (modern-day Spain and Portugal), contributing to the region's unique cultural identity. Beyond these, the Lombards established a kingdom in Italy that influenced the development of Italian law and administration. The Ostrogoths(my favourite type of Goth😂) played a key role in preserving Roman institutions during their reign in Italy. Remarkably, the Visigoths, despite the turbulent times, founded new cities in a largely de-urbanized world and shaped Spanish law and culture through the Visigothic Code, which championed the concept of a universal legal code. It really is sad that we often overlook this tribes, through their migrations, conquests, and cultural exchanges which in turn indelibly shaped the legal, political, and social foundations of Western civilization.

  42. This whole series on the franks and early medieval Europe is absolutely amazing. Would love to see you cover stuff like the Mongol invasion of Europe in the future. Keep up the great work!

  43. Small error: the New Town of Prague is on the east bank, encircling and enlarging the Old Town. The town under Prague Castle is the Small Town of Prague, todays Malá Strana, older than the New Town. Threre's also a fourth town, the castle town, Hradčany, directly adjacent to the Prague Castle. Awesome work! Very comprehensive and very well done. As a Czech historian I approve of this video. You may now approach windows with confidence again.

  49. This was great! I learned so much of an emperor i didn't know anything about before hand. I can't believe how ahead of his time he was. If only The Holy See didn't get in his way.

  50. I didn't know anything about Frederick 2 before I found this channel.
