I clicked on this video because of my abiding interest in history. I expected something along the lines of the French historical school of the histoire de mentalities. I was quite wrong! It does deal with culture, but in a way that is quite surprising. I highly recommend his website and his channel.

A Point About Historical Perspective
A video made four years ago, before Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans were murdered, but it addresses the same point. It is from 'Lindybeige', one of my favourite YouTube channels. Unlike most channels, his is all over the place, dealing with a wide variety of topics. I began watching him because he is a former (?) historical re-enactor and often discusses mediæval weaponry. He also has a fascinating website at Lloydian Aspects which, like his YouTube channel, is all over the place. The menu on his website is headed 'The menu: Click the subject by which you are least repelled'!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
