Hello everyone, my name's Hilbert and I make videos about (mostly) history, hence the name.Which period of history and which aspect of location can vary greatly, from the Picts of 6th Century Scotland to the Peaky Blinders of 1920's Birmingham, although you can be sure that whichever time period I am talking about, it will include some (mostly useless) language and etymological trivia as well as the national anthem of the Netherlands. Do not question this; it is essential to being a good historian.
The best "About" section you can find on me and not written by me are my videos, so if you want to learn more about me why not watch them? If you still want to learn more then consider jumping into my private life on Vlogs in Clogs, or following my various social media accounts like Facebook or Twitter, and if you want to pay me to ramble about history and languages and sitting in my room fantasising about windmills; you now can thanks to popular demand by becoming a patron on Patreon. Ta!

An absolute pleasure to speak with Graham Scheper, an up-and-coming Old English linguist, Latin scholar and interviewer extraordinaire (really check out his channel) for everything to do with Early Medieval languages! In this interview I spoke Frisian, and Graham spoke in Old English to see where the two languages are and aren't mutually intelligible before we spoke about some topics of Frisians in the Early Middle Ages and Modern Frisian today.

Due to still having some bits to add and some filming to do, tonight's video on SCOTTISH GAELIC IN NEW ZEALAND will be postponed to tomorrow evening. I think you'll really enjoy it so it will be worth the wait.
