The Five Strangest Medieval Duels
When we think of medieval duels, we think of champion swordsmen meeting each other at dawn to settle affairs of honor. Yet the truth is both more complicated and often much funnier. In medieval duels, men fought dogs, knights wrestled each other in sacks, and men tried biting each other to death,

Five Gruesome Ways to Die in Medieval Europe
มุมมอง 12610 หลายเดือนก่อน
What could possibly be the worst way to die during the Middle Ages? Might it be getting killed by a man whom you just killed in battle? Could it be getting stabbed in the bottom by a man hiding in the pit of a toilet? Perhaps it would be burning to death in your own bed?

Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon: Part 2, Around the Moon!
มุมมอง 10410 หลายเดือนก่อน
In the second book of Jules Verne's epic duology, the three 19th century aeronauts fly through space at 24,000 miles an hour. Though they see the Moon closer than any men have before them, they cannot land. Instead, they take a terrible chance on arriving home. Their voyage also gives us a glimpse of how men in 1870 saw days to come.
Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon: Part 1, To the Moon!
มุมมอง 18110 หลายเดือนก่อน
Jules Verne wrote one of the most memorable novels of the 19th century. Many authors wrote about a possible voyage to the Moon, but they involved as much fantasy as fact. Verne used the best scientific knowledge of his day to write of 19th century aeronauts blasting a manned shell to the Moon. As much holds up today as does not, a remarkable feat!

Ebenezer Scrooge is one of the most infamous characters in world literature. Yet, he had several real-life inspirations, including Jemmy Wood, the miserly banker who lived and worked in Gloucester.

    3:32 thank you for covering this story. 😊 Ofcourse it is impossible to cover every detail in a 6 min video, but i have one small remark 😉. It is a widespread misconception that our militia was poorly trained or equiped. Ofcourse it were still ordinary people with a dayjob facing a professional army heavily armed, with an abundance of cavalry like the French. BUT you have to realise this area rivaled northern Italy and Venice for top spot of richest areas in Europe. Flemish count had become as important and influencial as his French boss trough smart politics and a very strong economy. As far as militia went, they were very well trained, disciplined and armed, and that would have been no secret either to anyone with less of an Ego than the french aristocracy. Mercenaries from this area were known, used and respected for hundreds of years. . Our guilds , those are unions of craftsmen, tradesmen and merchants, were on paper not as powerfull as the Nobles, but they in fact ran things. In Ghent the city nobles sided with the French , but the people didnt agree and the guilds militia sent 1000men anyway to fight them at Kortrijk. You would train and fight as a guild. So a militia of all butchers, and one of weavers , etc. They did not only have the numbers and influence but also a substantial budget to pay for weapons, chainmail and metal helmets for EVERY man, some men even got plate armour which they paid for themselves. This was not a unwieldy quickly assembled force, but a well trained and armed militia led by men who knew very well what they were doing as far as the use of weapons and battle tactics goes. This was not their first rodeo so to speak.

    The unicorn bit is misleading. He proved that unicorn's did not exist and said that they were narwhal tusks used to deceive people. He wasn't a trickster he was a very respected scientist and physician that provided us with many knowledge and truths in many areas.

    medieval educated people took magic seriously because it is real and it works. it wasn't until post 1700's that atheism and scientific materialism overtook all other epistemologies and ontologies (and that isn't because it's the only true reality). i know this is a quick overview, but the video leaves out the entire worldview and context. also, you didn't credit the artist Nigel Jackson at the 30 second mark.

    I hope you’re doing good. I wanted to say two things. 1. I think it’s hilarious in hearing a story where King Henry the sixth is angry, I mean , even though he’s king he’s not the least bit intimidating. I would’ve told him to worry about trying to keep France, then some little married. 2. In my humble opinion I don’t think it would have been wise to get another French princess after England had just lost 100 year war(…) It will only remind them of their defeat.
