The Dark Truth About Julius Caesar | Tony Robinson's Romans

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 has a go at knitting chain mail; marvelling at the intricacies and tedium of fashioning one link, let alone a suit which used 200,000. Then there was the lance-makers' task of carving hundreds of lances for jousting tournaments or the shining of shoes for Edwardian hunting parties. Armourers, fire-workers, grooms of the chamber, hall boys and royal messengers all had their moments of misery. But the most unpleasant job of all fell to the unfortunate lackeys who were responsible for the rich purple dye for the monarch's coronation robes. The purple maker created the royal colour by stomping up and down on rotting shellfish which had been soaking in human urine.
