Youtube hearted comments of Elizabeth Loveland (@Shineon83).

  1. What is often overlooked : Isabella was The FIRST woman to rule a major, Christian, European country….And she paved the way for Mary & Elizabeth I of England (who came almost a CENTURY later)…. Indeed, it has been said that had it not been for the excellent example of Isabella (proving that a “mere woman” could competently rule a major kingdom) there might never have been the Virgin Queen….

  2. I thought that the Vietnamese refused to endorse China’s language of “common DESTINY,” changing the wording to : “a common FUTURE” (in order to remain more independent & not anger the West)? Great video, Tony! Gayle Elizabeth

  3. Yes, dear Tony—please take time off this week ( and I hope it will be more than “two days”)….You have not only been working non-stop (at two jobs), but have been doing so while living in a stressful & increasingly deteriorating environment …. Take as much time as you need to recharge mind & body; we will be going nowhere. Gayle Elizabeth ❤

  4. I’ve always felt that one of the greatest acts of loyalty & courage shown by William was in his agreeing to take the holy pilgrimage on behalf of his deceased master. In those days, the odds of dying (from disease, at the hands of bandits, or during a regular outbreak of war with the Muslims) were greater than surviving—and returning—from pilgrimage….

  5. Dearest Tony, plz take the day off tomorrow. These are your last few days with family, before you must return.….Let your Mum have your time❤ (Gayle Elizabeth)

  6. Dearest Tony, what a great segment! (I think you might consider adding Professor Magnus’ future musings as a regular feature, in the future). Very interesting addition….

  7. I loved the Italian architects who had studied the unusual apertures & design of a certain Italian castle—discovering it to have been Romanesque in its use of engineering (utilizing gravity & unbelievable skill to construct pipes throughout the castle which transported water to every room )…. My IDEAL medieval castle : combining form, function AND comfort ❤

  8. ….Clever linking of “Aegean Stables” with “Hercules” ( “Herculean effort” :)

  10. ….I love the picture of Peggy Harmon comforting her elderly Aunt as she was dying….beautiful picture.

  11. Never understood how most ppl could have died of famine in England—an island surrounded by every type of fish one could ever wish for….

  12. ….Being buried on top of a mountain….So beautiful ❤

  13. ….MacDonald’s position strikes me as having been a very lonely & isolated one ( gaping class distinctions aside, every time he spoke, his peers must have been jolted by his pronounced dialect )…”Respect” for his fighting abilities would not have prevented the social sleights & teasing he must have constantly endured. And then, the whispers…? To carry such a secret ( in an age when a “stiff upper lip” was synonymous with being a soldier ), he would have had not a soul to confide in….( Makes me wonder if it was really his own demons he was fighting with such brutality during his many battlefield engagements )?….

  17. “De Wiart would take the newly-tailored, Italian suit, ‘So long as I don’t look like a gigolo’ “ 😂 ….( I don’t know if anyone understood the import of that remark, but, British of good taste during that era regarded what passed for male fashion in Italy at the time as being “flashy & low-life”) — or, as the great Somerset Maugham put it, “These Italians all wore the conspicuous feathers of a Kept Man—lacking only a visible leash connecting them to their wealthy ‘Mamas’ “

  18. Thanks!….This was VERY interesting. Outside of the great Justinian ( that most of us studied at university ) I really know almost nothing about Byzantine leaders & rulers. New sub.

  19. One has to wonder how much truth is contained in these stories about the Rani….Who was it who “overheard” her supposedly giving military advice to her male co-conspirators ( which they “ignored,” thereby suffering defeats )?….Surely, no underling ( let alone, any Hindu male ) would so embarrass his male superior by spreading such tales (,and there were no female soldiers )…. The same can be said about her “advice” regarding preparing for the British, rather than feasting ( surely she wouldn’t have emasculated the leader by hectoring him in front of others )?….Such “legends” rarely bear such close scrutiny, I find….

  20. THIS is a man whose exploits one can rightfully chuckle at ( at a safe distance ), while shaking one’s head in disbelief…. Unlike the famous Gillespie of the 18th C — whose death-defying exploits were both subject to the exaggerations of the era + lacked the more modern, critical & methodical method of verifying information used by the military in the late 19th/early 20th C — this chap’s exploits were all documented.…Each “event” had multiple, reliable witnesses—with unimpeachable reputations….The chap was, indeed, “born to fight”

  21. GREAT series….Very well done! ❤

  24. Dr. King would not respect this man. Dr. King never hated—and would never approve of Farrakhan’s hate

  30. I would say the orb is a flashlight, only weird thing about it is its “fade-to-dark” extinguish (not the “automatic off” one expects)….

  31. We are one of the ONLY countries in the world whose ppl are almost ALL “mutts.’…..Recent Venezuelan immigrants are far more “pure” race (as are almost all Europeans)…… NO American who has been in this country for more than 2 generations is “pure” anything—but a hodgepodge of nationalities.…

  32. Since WHEN did military professionals use “Right” or “Left” for directional orders to subordinates ( I thought that, “N,” “S,” “E” & “W” were standard protocol )?

  33. The fact that you were willing to take an EIGHT-HR BUS RIDE (and eat only 1/2 potato (!) impresses me greatly!!

  38. ….I’m a very educated person, however, I’ve seen some things that simply could not be explained (by anyone)….There are few things that I out-and-out disbelieve, as a result….

  39. Truth is, ALL new immigrant groups face exclusion. The Irish were treated horribly & packed into tenements My great-grandparents were stoned & their house was burned down—because they were German (during and after WWI)

  40. Dear Tony, you sound so ill.….I do hope you are taking care of yourself? I’m currently visiting Southern Italy (and wish I could send you some of this sunshine—and concentrated doses of vitamins D & C)…. DO take good care of yourself. Gayle Elizabeth.
