Top Comments of this video!! :3
I really appreciate the cinematography for the scene shot 30ish mins in is. The narrator is standing in a black and white room, wearing black and white. The choice to lighten up half of and keep the other half in a shadow is great. This was done in a very subtle manner, as well.
Idk. I just really appreciate the artistic touch with that shot

Having just recently learned that King James II and VII is my 10th great grandfather has left me nearly speechless. I wonder how my family could have ever lost track of this information. Then I think of my family coming from, on my fathers side Kentucky and on my mothers side Oklahoma, I begin to realize that life was hard for the people from those areas in past years. Living alone must have taken up most of their time, survival being particularly challenging for them.
Life for these people (from the 1600's) must have been terribly difficult, even as royalty. I imagine there must be a lot of descendants around today from this family and I wonder where they are. I guess that is something to pursue at some point. I do know that King Charles sons William and Harry are related to me as Lady Diana also had the same 10th great grandfather as I do. What a strange world we live in.

Great series about the Stewart Monarchs .
To add , when William of Orange and Mary II ascended the throne , in their Coronation Oath , they swore to recognize the sovereignty of Parliament . As Parliamentarians were elected , this was the beginning of Democracy in the modern world .
Later in 1689 the English Bill of Rights was passed , which was based on Enlightenment ideas .
1689 English Bill of Rights is part of Britain's Constitution .
However , in 1689 only land owners could vote and to be a Parliamentarian a person had to have considerable wealth .
The struggle for universal male suffrage continued during the horrific working conditions of the industrial revolution by Britain's 19th Century Labour Class .
