I'll tell you this, the people in power are not the original rulers.
No. They're the Bourgeois who overthrew/usurped the power of the nobility who in turn swung swords better than others in the distant past.
This isn't some "secret" history to anybody capable of opening a book.
always aware that something with this civilization and especially those who control and influence it is absolutely wrong and not the way it once was.
No. The way "it once was" involved the lower classes being at worst the literal property of the upper classes, at best their paid lackeys.

.... Yeap. Not even touching that one.
I'm especially concerned for my ancestral lands. I've even heard of shamans as far as Siberia saying they sense something horrible is coming to the western world.
The imminent doom facing the Western World - Coming to theaters near you since Year 1 CE.
But yeah, I am also so deeply interested in our true origins. It's hidden for reasons.

Capable of reading a history book.
Not an idiot who looks at the early history of Europe and shouts "Elaborate lies! Where are the magical space aliens?!"
All things considered, Good Luck to you, Prince Seamus Ragnarrsson McCormic, true heir of the Germanic and Celtic nobility! Verily you shall retake your ancestral lands from the bourgeois usurpers through elaborate occult rituals.
This modern "peasant" descended form historic peasants sews secret dragon banners and toasts your name when Robert Baratheon's spies are not watching! >.>
