  1. Love these videos. From Honorius, to Attila, to the fall. Been looking for exactly this for a long time. Really explains the lead up to the fall. And it's a great way also to understand the context of the TW: Attila game! Thank you!

  2. Personally I firmly reject using the name 'Clovis' as it doesn't even come close to what his name would've sounded like. Gregory of Tours speaks of 'Chlodovechus'. His reconstructed name being Hlodowig. 'Famous battle/warrior'. If people do use the name Clovis, they should pronounce it like 'Hlowis'. Here you see where the name Louis/Lewis came from. By the way, all Germanic names have stress on the first syllable. HLOwis, HLOdowig, RIKimer, Ódowaker, THEUderik, HILderik, HLOdio, FAramund.

  3. Great to hear you fixed your pronunciation of Suebi for this video. Otherwise, I was already a big fan of your videos. There's otherwise not much good coverage of late antiquity on YouTube!

  6. Of course the only point of critique I have is how you pronounce Suebians. But from your latest video, I know that you now know how to pronounce it in a better way! Another thing pretty much everyone gets wrong are the Cs. They represent a K sound. So Odoaker, Rikimer.
