Hello everyone. Just to let you know that next week is the first week in which there's no more preset video length anymore and the new formats come into effect. As of next week there'll be 2 videos per week but they'll be shorter than ten minutes (expect 3-6) for 90%, some will be longer than 10 though. Tuesday's episode will be 'The Opium Wars' and Friday's will be 'The Great Terror: Stalin's Purges'. Hope you enjoy the new content format as I'm very excited for it.
Fun fact the greatest surgeons like Ambroise Paré tried to assist him but he suffered like 2 or 3 days of agony, I have my part in cars accident and other nasty stuff but I cannot imagine the pain. Jousting is great on paper but if you're truly unlucky or not protected enough, it can get messy!
They usually used lances with round tips, so as to not stab their opponents. After their first bout, the king's opponents lance broke, but the king insisted for another one and did not care to wait. Also, the horse he was riding was called "Bad Luck", or something to that effect
Lol, imagine in the future instead of talking about the prosecution of protestants in the 16th century they be talking about the prosecution of the jews in the 19th century and saying "for the jews it meant gasy gasy time" and everybody thinking it's hilarious.
I am from Aquitaine (South West of France). I love wandering in the country side, and discover/visit some Medieval ruins. 90% of Medieval castle became ruins and were abandoned for only 3 reasons : - French revolution - Fronde (French Civil War between the parliaments and the King Louis XIV) But by far, the war that brought most of the destruction that can still be see today, are the religions wars. I have at least 10 to 20 of old castle/church/monastery ruined the religion wars in a 50km radius around my town. This war was insane.
I mean if 2 Castles in the 50km radius of your town gets destroyed per Religious War, it means 16 CASTLES. I dont know much about the Fronde or the French Revolution, but The Religious Wars were both many and span a massive time frame (several decades) and also were much earlier than the other two, and closer to the era of Castles.

@@crocodileguy4319 not really in fact, if you consider that one of the main motivations for these wars was to keep the influencial france as a monarchy to not spread ideology relative to democracy in the rest of europe. In the end, republic did win. Even in constitutional monarchies like england it really did. If you take it from a "france was too powerful at the time" statement, that might not really be true, france had already lost its huge adavantage in population in europe by the time napoleon was arround and had pretty lost the seven years war.
@@crocodileguy4319 Indeed. The French lost hard in the long run, and would spend the 140 years post-1815 under Pax-Brittannica, with the also english(ish) speaking Pax-Americana taking over from that. France: like Spain once with the chance of world domination... until they lost it forever.
The wars of religion is some game of thrones level of civil war, with families fighting each others through different generations, bloody weddings, foreign invaders, betrayals, alliances... It would make a great show !
Actually george r r martin based a lot of got stuff on english and french medieval to modern history. And you can feel it knowing this history and watching got !
All of french history is basically a gigantic Game of Thrones anyway. Look for "les rois maudits" (The accursed kings) and see for yourself the next level shit that France went through that led to the 100 years war.
To put it into perspective, number of death are estimated to be 3 millions, hence 0.06-0.065% of the world population. Ww1 number of death were 0.11% of the population. Those wars were extremely bloody.
@@MrSniperfox29 More like the catholics enjoying their corrupt power and not wanting to stop, and the protestants wanting catholics not to be corrupt. Same bullshit we're having nowadays
It didn't exactly go better (later) in the HRE. I mean, the 30 years war, aka the most deadly european conflict until WW1, with a very large portion of the HRE's population simply dying.
Pretty ignorant (but I assume it was "too tempting" to bash the french), as the wars of religion were worse in several places in Europe. Also, the most deadly of the french wars of religion, was the one with foreign powers involved.
Another stupid french hater. You should look at history, It was not better in other countries. How long did the 30-year war last on the lands of present-day Germany. How long did the war between the Netherlands and the Spanish Netherlands last. Have you heard anything about the English Revolution?
Henri IV switching religion was pretty much part of his whole life. His father, Duke Antoine de Bourbon, was a catholic and his mother, Queen Jeanne d'Albret of Navarre, a calvinist. Though he was baptized as a catholic, his mother instructed him in the doctrine of Jean Calvin. His father, in the other hand, wanted him to be a catholic. So when Henri was with his father in the French court, he behaved as a catholic. When he was in Navarre, he was a protestant. It explains his pragmatic approach to religion. Being part of both worlds, he was very merciful and humane as a protestant leader, preventing massacres and churches destruction in the towns he took.
Not counting Napoleon (has he was emperor and not a monarch of the old regime), Henri IV was the last non Louis before the 1820s and the last non Louis king to die on the throne.
@@Sarsol1989 He was forced to abdicate by the three day revolution of 1830. So was his successor, Louis Philippe by the revolution of 1848 and the Napoleons by the defeat of 1815 and 1870.

I would love to see a history of the medici family and/or florence video was only a couple minutes into the video when I commented this, didn't know the catherine de medici was in it. pretty ironic
@Danny Isambard yup, one of them was 15 and had lost his father and grandfather to the violence. I also have some english Quaker ancestery who I take it had it pretty hard in the old country.
I love how you always manage to include a bunch of small jokes in your videos for people who've read about the subject. Like how Henry IV's famous alleged quote "Paris is worth a mass" has been simplified to "I love mass now" on a sign.
I absolutely love watching your videos, whether it’s part of a series or a one off videos, I love your graphics (especially when a person comes down with a case of the deads) and your level of snark is perfect! Thanks for making these and making your channel one of my favorites on TH-cam! 😃👍🏻
Oh man...8 wars all ending in stalemate. Can you imagine how frustrating that must have been for everyone. They lost countless lives...for nothing. No gain, no win, just a bunch of violence for violence sake.
And the population of France was like 20 million back then. In proportion, 2-4 million deaths in the 1500s would be like 6-12 million deaths today. Everyone would lose several friends & relatives.
Fun fact: when the Edict of Nantes was revoked years later by Louis XIV, a German-born French Protestant named Friedrich Hermann von Schönberg was expelled from the country. He then went on to become a commander for William of Orange and died during the Battle of the Boyne. His tombstone inscription was written by Jonathan Swift. William of Orange then went on to be one of the biggest forces holding Louis back from conquering Europe.
Well Louis the XIV wasn't interested in conquering Europe, but more so on destroying the Habsburgs and getting Prestige for France.. And that's about it. He was no conqueror
Keep up the amazing work. Love the channel. Watching these episodes makes me feel like it’s 1995 and I’m enjoying listening to my favourite teacher. You make history exciting and accessible.
Or as the Four Musketeers put it, "You mean we're at war because they want to say their prayers in French while we say our prayers in Latin?" "Oh, Porthos, I'm surprised at you. That's what religious wars are all about."
Did it at gcse myself. Much of it boils down to “this guy was proven wrong”, “church held development back and Muslims were more advanced than Christians” and “actual important medical advancements from the mid 1600s onwards”
You know what was another interesting religious conflict? The Glorious Revolution. You should make a 10 minute video on that. You already drew Queen Elizabeth so well, I be you could do it for Mary and Anne as well.
Come on! You didn't quote one of the most famous phrases in history made by Henry the IV, when he was being offered the throne in exchange to convert to Catholism (yet again): "Well, Paris is well worth a mass!"
It's not really when he was being offered the throne because he was technically already the king according to the law of successions. He converted because he couldn't take Paris and released that France, and especially Paris, would never accept a protestant king. So after years of war he just decided to give up and converted because it was the only way to end the civil war.
Funnily enough, Henry IV is best known in France not for the Edit de Nantes but because he was a genuinely loving father for his many children (legitimate or not). He asked that they called him "papa" (daddy) instead of "father" and he spent a lot of time with them. There is even this famous" incident" where he received the Spanish ambassador on all fours because he was playing horse for some of his kids.
Just stumbled onto your channel and LOVE it! I'm currently doing a lot of research on the French Revolution and will go see if you have any videos on the subject. I hope so, as it is fascinating and a lot of what is going on today has many parallels with the French Revolution. Thanks for all the good info. Love the visuals. Maybe just if you could speak a little slower, sometimes the info goes by too quickly. Just subbed.
The big winners of these war of religion are Switzerland, the city of London, the fledgeling American colonies, etc... The exodus of the French Hugenots braught their craftmanship to the lands that welcomed them. I am Swiss from a Huguenot family and there are many famous swiss brands (notably in the watch industry) that come from Huguenots families.
French kings being Protestant in France = panic and persecution English kings being Catholic in England = panic and persecution Why didn’t they just switch kingdoms?!? They were close cousins anyway with all that intermarriage they did! One boat ride would’ve settled the whole thing.
This is part of why the founding fathers of the United States thought that a constitutional amendment forbidding the establishment of a state religion might be a good idea.
An old aunt who had written & researched a lot of the family's genealogy claims we had an ancestor who was a French Hugenaut who was burnt at the stake at this time. I was young & don't remember anything else

@@testadalord01432 no, it's definitely a hard g here
Fair enough my bad bruv
7:48 King of France calling for the estates general. Uh oh. When does that ever end well?
Well, in this case, it ended well.
"Paris is at least worth a mass." King Henry IV
The Chainsmokers: Paris is worth a song
Should it not be 'Paris is well worth a Mass' 'Paris vaut bien une messe': if it were 'at least', would it not be, 'Au moins, Paris vaut une messe'?
"If you thought that the Catholic nobility in France were worried before, well now they were downright hysterical."

I try to make the titles match the situation of the video, even if it's not economically beneficial due to many of them aren't 10 minutes.
Therworldtube it really isn’t, since that phrase is really a lost cause
And this is argument against "Medicare for all"
"The two Guises"... my ears keep hearing "The two Geezers". Brilliant.
"he returned from Netherlands in shame in 1573.
Fortunately for Francis, he didn't have to live in shame for to long time as he died in 1574."

The amount of emotion you convey with just some eyebrows and a sign is unreal. 10/10
I would love to see a history of the medici family and/or florence video
was only a couple minutes into the video when I commented this, didn't know the catherine de medici was in it. pretty ironic
not ironic at all*
I can see why my french protestant ancestors left for the new world.
@Danny Isambard yup, one of them was 15 and had lost his father and grandfather to the violence. I also have some english Quaker ancestery who I take it had it pretty hard in the old country.
Many settled in Westchester north of the Bronx in New Rochelle.
Yes. But that was 100 years after ghe wars of religion were over in France.
mine left too-- headed for England then new world

I love how you always manage to include a bunch of small jokes in your videos for people who've read about the subject. Like how Henry IV's famous alleged quote "Paris is worth a mass" has been simplified to "I love mass now" on a sign.
I absolutely love watching your videos, whether it’s part of a series or a one off videos, I love your graphics (especially when a person comes down with a case of the deads) and your level of snark is perfect! Thanks for making these and making your channel one of my favorites on TH-cam! 😃👍🏻
"Burny-burny time" is my new favourite euphemism for religious persecution. XD

Oh man...8 wars all ending in stalemate. Can you imagine how frustrating that must have been for everyone. They lost countless lives...for nothing. No gain, no win, just a bunch of violence for violence sake.
There were some changes.
I read somewhere that those wars caused 2-4 million deaths. Let that sink in.
G-d apparently approves of everyone fighting and dying for Her
Prots cause lots of death
@Jedem Das Seine every time lol
It just proves that there is nothing worse than a bored frenchman.
And the population of France was like 20 million back then. In proportion, 2-4 million deaths in the 1500s would be like 6-12 million deaths today. Everyone would lose several friends & relatives.
France in 16th century: my religion is the only true religion.
France in 1789: fuck religion who need that nowadays.
Fun fact: when the Edict of Nantes was revoked years later by Louis XIV, a German-born French Protestant named Friedrich Hermann von Schönberg was expelled from the country. He then went on to become a commander for William of Orange and died during the Battle of the Boyne. His tombstone inscription was written by Jonathan Swift. William of Orange then went on to be one of the biggest forces holding Louis back from conquering Europe.
Well Louis the XIV wasn't interested in conquering Europe, but more so on destroying the Habsburgs and getting Prestige for France.. And that's about it. He was no conqueror
Keep up the amazing work. Love the channel. Watching these episodes makes me feel like it’s 1995 and I’m enjoying listening to my favourite teacher. You make history exciting and accessible.
I'm a French History teacher. SO GREAT video. Thanks.
Or as the Four Musketeers put it, "You mean we're at war because they want to say their prayers in French while we say our prayers in Latin?"
"Oh, Porthos, I'm surprised at you. That's what religious wars are all about."

“Begone Prot”
I can’t these videos are top notch
"4/10 'not enough Louis'".

Makes sense
“Conde” has an acute accent on the final “e” and so should be pronounced as Conday.
yep!
as in "café"!
A medicine through history to help me with my gcses?
I'll add it to the list and I'll be sure to get it out before exams.
Unlucky mate, I did America in the 1920’s instead, way better
Between 1400-1600 blame the church for all that is bad.
Did crime and punishment for mine. Way more interesting
Did it at gcse myself. Much of it boils down to “this guy was proven wrong”, “church held development back and Muslims were more advanced than Christians” and “actual important medical advancements from the mid 1600s onwards”
the final ten minute history. beautiful
History of UK and of France! Love this channel!
"fortunately for Francis, he didn't have to live through that shame"
me: oh, so he's now popular?
"he died in 1584"
me: 😐
Ten Minute History: *changes format*
Wait that’s illegal
way better than the armchair historian
10 minute restricted time content vs sponsored channel
Therworldtube facts
agree
That armchair dude bores me
Whoa!
You know what was another interesting religious conflict? The Glorious Revolution. You should make a 10 minute video on that. You already drew Queen Elizabeth so well, I be you could do it for Mary and Anne as well.
Come on! You didn't quote one of the most famous phrases in history made by Henry the IV, when he was being offered the throne in exchange to convert to Catholism (yet again): "Well, Paris is well worth a mass!"
It's not really when he was being offered the throne because he was technically already the king according to the law of successions. He converted because he couldn't take Paris and released that France, and especially Paris, would never accept a protestant king. So after years of war he just decided to give up and converted because it was the only way to end the civil war.
The jokes about that on the boards are much more subtle, and therefore funnier, than actually giving the quote!
Thank you so much for uploading this one, been looking forward to a video on the French Wars of Religion
HE’S BACK BOOOIIIIISSS
Just give him more money on patreon to quicken the progress
Please never stop making videos
Should be mentioned that Henry IV was assassinated too. All three Henrys in the War of the Three Henrys ended up assassinated.
I miss the
"Fun fact: No" -Mug.
I really wanted that one
I well never stop giggling at your french pronounciation.
french is a surrender language
@@Therworldtube funny that you speak it, surrender boy
Allegedly Henry of Navarre said about his strategic Catholic conversion in order to be King of France "Paris is worth a Mass."
Protestants: exist
Catholics: “ *n o* “
Funnily enough, Henry IV is best known in France not for the Edit de Nantes but because he was a genuinely loving father for his many children (legitimate or not). He asked that they called him "papa" (daddy) instead of "father" and he spent a lot of time with them.
There is even this famous" incident" where he received the Spanish ambassador on all fours because he was playing horse for some of his kids.
Even the French Revolutionaries had trouble hating Henry IV. The subsequent kings, no problem.
Let's remember this awesome last 10 min video. RIP
Glad you tackled this subject
Just stumbled onto your channel and LOVE it! I'm currently doing a lot of research on the French Revolution and will go see if you have any videos on the subject. I hope so, as it is fascinating and a lot of what is going on today has many parallels with the French Revolution.
Thanks for all the good info. Love the visuals. Maybe just if you could speak a little slower, sometimes the info goes by too quickly. Just subbed.
In Québec, we study this period of history in one sentence : "Fleeing religious and political conflict in France..."
just love how almost every minor-medium sized war in the middle ages is just described as "because why not"
This is not the Middle Ages this is the Renaissance.
The big winners of these war of religion are Switzerland, the city of London, the fledgeling American colonies, etc... The exodus of the French Hugenots braught their craftmanship to the lands that welcomed them. I am Swiss from a Huguenot family and there are many famous swiss brands (notably in the watch industry) that come from Huguenots families.
Hope you're better now
French kings being Protestant in France = panic and persecution
English kings being Catholic in England = panic and persecution
Why didn’t they just switch kingdoms?!?
They were close cousins anyway with all that intermarriage they did! One boat ride would’ve settled the whole thing.
That's the obvious solution that no one ever saw
DEUS VULT, but for whom?
Protestant cause deus vult is Latin and the Protestants stopped/weakened Latin influence on Christianity
@@davesdinnerz9243 Can't escape the Latin alphabet. Typographical character problem.

@Joseph Walsh yes you are correct Protestents are heretics.
For the catholics
How many wars of religion and republics do you want?
France: Oui.
“The two geezers didn’t simply dominate the king”- a west London story

After this, why not a Ten Minute Video about French Kings, from Henry IV to Louis XVI.
Start from Clovis dont be shy
There used to be local band here called Revenge of the Hugenots
Holy shit, the “Save us Jesus” sign got me like XD haha
I love your videos! Making history fun!
This is part of why the founding fathers of the United States thought that a constitutional amendment forbidding the establishment of a state religion might be a good idea.
0:25 When you're being burned at the stake for heresy but you're so jaded you just don't care anymore.
"Begone Prot" LOL

No hope for Islam man. 1400 years of backstabbing.
U not read the quran then no another one
If there’s anything I’ve Learned from these videos it’s that people die a lot
I was not read for the twist at 6:34 THIS IS WHY I LOVE HISTORY YOU CAN NOT WRITE THIS SCRIPT
The thud sound when someone dies is the greatest thing in the world
8:00 "King henry and the other king henry" can someone tell me which King Henrys were told in this part?
An old aunt who had written & researched a lot of the family's genealogy claims we had an ancestor who was a French Hugenaut who was burnt at the stake at this time. I was young & don't remember anything else
4:08
Friend: oh the English are helping the french
Me:*facepalm* yes but the french are fighting the french
Friend:ohhhh
England didn't help the French, they helped the protestants. Just like Spain helped the catholics.
