5:16 Ha ha, the pic to the right is the Siege of Calais in 1346. I uploaded it in the Wikimedia Commons, your source I bet.

Great video!

Was there anything akin to the Harrying of the North in Game of Thrones ? Or does it not get that bloody?

And the south of Weston's is Spain because you got dark skin people from morroco

In my opinion, Dorne looks like Cornwall.

I saw Ruddlan

I'm Scottish and Caledonia is old Scotland soooo,am I a wight walker?

Westernos is not the uk but many country of Europe.. With France, Spain. Dorne is the Andalousia for exemple.

Great Britain and Ireland no?

so now i'm a lannister

Bloody hell, you Irish are touchy!
Get some perspective eh?

shitting their pants building a big wall to keep us out! 😂

Ireland is not a British Isle and never has it been a British Isle. The ancient Greeks called Ireland Ivernia the Romans called it Scottia Major at first and later Hibernia after the Iberian Peninsula in Northern Spain & Portugal where the Irish and the Scottish came from. The Irish Gaels and their Scots-Gaelic cousins the Scottish (Dáil Riada) are descended from Celt-Iberians from Gaelicia in Northern Portugal and Spain by Haplogroup-R1B DNA scientific evidence. There were also ancient High kings in Ireland who defeated the Vikings for example Brian Boruma "An Ard Rí nÉireann 7 Imperator Scottorum" The High King of Ireland and Emperor of the Gaels/Scots, who sat on the famous Throne of Tara in Meath Ireland and fought at the battle of Clontarf defeating the Vikings in 1014 AD long before William the conquer ever invaded Britain and over a hundred years before the Normans(English) ever invaded Ireland.The current pretender to the Throne of Tara is Desmond The O'Conor Don in Gaelic "Deasmumna Ua Concúir Donn". He is the 32nd grandchild and direct male primogeniture blood descendant of Rory O'Conor "Ruadrí Ua Concúir" last High King of Ireland. The Irish were certainly not Barbarians at all. In fact they were recognized by the papacy and the Holy Roman Emperors as noble and most High Kings. Jonus Scotus Eiregena which literally means John from Ireland who has the genetics of the Éire people was, summoned by Emperor Charles the Bald to teach in the Court of the Francish Empire. The Irish monks brought Christianity to pagan England after the fall of the Roman Empire. I have read a lot of racist comments here from ignorant people from the Island of Britain saying terrible and stereotypical remarks about my people. Saying Irish are stupid, lazy, drunks, terrorists, idiots who should leave the EU and rejoin the UK. So here is a list of things invented by the Irish down throughout human history.

Never ever let any other nation in the world make you feel ashamed to be Irish and European. That is all…

Turns out I live in the Neck, and all this time I thought it was called Cornwall. At least now I know I can get a bus to south Ireland- er I mean the Vale.

Ireland is not Britain.

So if you compress Britain, it's similar to the game of thrones map… Just like every other country i the world.

You pronounce the 'ex' in Sussex, Wessex and Essex as 'Icks'

dude, europe is not 'another continent south of britain'

"Another continent called Europe."
Sure, 'cause GB is in Africa, of course.

You left out the Jutes from the Germanic invaders but great video regardless.

Vikings didn't conquer York they settled over Northern England and founded Jarvik, which is now known as York. I get your point however. The monarchy is also a big fat lie, there's still Stuart's in the world that have a closer claim to being true heirs to William the conquerer than the Windsors/Germans.

Wow this kings solike there kingdom name sex

Think you need to go back to school and learn the proper history of Britain. Romans did not stop at the wall, they went as far north as Stonehaven (near Aberdeen)

Mercia
lets swap c and i.. and….

Merica

Can someone help with source of pics (ones with maps) used at 2:44–2:56?

Holy Shit he just casually flipped Ireland and England to make Westeros. While my head is being Blown by this revelation, he just casually moves along.

1:05 "when we flip England sideways" So you've made a really stupid mistake already and it's a minute into the video… Nice one

Yea Ireland isn't part of the British Isles or the UK. Remember Ireland has a border it's only northern Ireland the tiny corner at the top right. Definitely not a mistake you wanna make when visiting Ireland as it could give you alot of problems
