Why British Aristocrats Are Purposely Letting Their Estates Go Wild

The British countryside is hiding a dark truth, having lost half of its native plant and animal species since the industrial revolution. For centuries, intensive human intervention, aggressive farming, and relentless drainage systems stripped the land of its natural identity. Now, an elite group of historic estates and aristocratic landowners are launching a radical operation to surrender control back to the wild. This documentary takes you behind the closed gates of Mapperton House, Elmore Court, and Castle Howard to witness the high-stakes battle for ecological restoration. From tracking dangerous biodiversity loss to deploying massive horned cattle and weaponized historical forestry tactics, these keepers of heritage are fighting to resurrect ecosystems that vanished thousands of years ago. You will see firsthand how broken landscapes are being forced to heal, why messy environments are superior to engineered order, and what happens when humans finally stop fighting against the natural world. 💚 Join the Absolute History club to get access to exclusive member benefits! 📺 You can now become a History Hit member right here on the original video platform!

Tony Robinson unearths new evidence that strongly suggests that the 15th century English King, Edward IV, was illegitimate. If that is the case, the entire royal bloodline that traces its lineage to Edward has no legal right to the throne. Edward fought hard to protect the British monarchy, even through the famed War of Roses, but he left a clouded legacy. So, who now has the right to the throne?
