"The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle. The chalice from the palace has the brew that is true." -From the Court Jester movie filmed 70 years ago.
The English, in general, just can’t cook to save their lives. They tried conquering the entire planet for spices but when that didn’t fix the problem they just imported a few million Indians to cook edible food for them.
i miss living in a time where one historian can say: "She went to live with her uncle, a renowned sooth sayer and dabling in other mystic arts" my uncle is a factory worker... :( I got ripped off on uncles
From the title of the video, I thought this was going to be about Lucretia Borgia & her infamous poison-filled ring, lol. My husband's family traces back to her- my MIL's middle name is Lucretia because of that, so I'm always interested in Borgia stories. But this story was very interesting too.
My exe thought she was a great chef. I think she more-or-less tinkers in the kitchen. If any meal was particularly good, that was the poisonous one! Darn good that didn't happen often!
Nah, no-fault divorce is how our society is being torn apart at the seams. Because women get bored after marriage and want to Eat! Pray! Love! It's telling you think women can't not be murderers. Misogyny, but what else is new?
@@Heike-- My great-grandmother brought my 6-year-old grandmother to this country during the Great Depression in order to escape an abusive, alcoholic husband because Canada did not have no-fault divorce at that time and emigrating was the only way she could establish "lack of support." That was the only way for her to get a divorce. As a woman at that time, she legally couldn't have her own bank account. As a single mother during the Depression, keeping the two of them fed and housed was an incredible challenge. She was driven to those extremes because she needed that divorce before he killed her or her child. You know what she didn't have to do to protect her child and herself? Poison her husband. That's why I'm saying no-fault divorce is so important for both husbands and wives.
@@Heike-- Also, why do you say I don't think women can be murderers? I'm a woman, and I intend to survive if attacked. I intend to escape if imprisoned. There is no "but I won't hurt my attacker" rider on those statements.
"I don't like my husband" is not a situation that can legally replied to with deadly force. You don't know that, because men deal in the realms of facts and logic while you just *feel* you should b able to kill. Just like a woman!
Cool story. Women totally don't have a history of lying about this sort of thing. Ask Tara Reade, the liar who falsely accused an innocent Joe Biden to help Trump.
Killing is only justified in gravest extreme, when your own life is in danger, like Kyle Rittenhouse. Sick that you think women can't not be murderers, that's misogyny.
It turns out, women get bored with average men after marriage and childbirth and will divorce and harm not just their husbands but their children so that they can Eat! Pray! Love!It's tearing our society apart. Maybe women could just not murder? A low bar to clear, but misogynists like you think they can't.
I wonder how many women were unalived by their husbands/fathers/brothers in the same time frame, and what punishment they got? Is it the same as today = men doing as they wish with their women and having no consequences for it? Meanwhile women get lengthy sentences for self defense? Probably.
Do you realize you just made up something in your head and blamed men for it? Men are regularly prosecuted and jailed for false accusations. Remember Tara Reade who falsely accused Joe Biden of rape? Remember the faked Ashley Biden diaries planted by Russian intelligence to smear Joe Biden for raping his 14 year old daughter in the shower?
Evil woman, how you done me wrong But now you're tryin' to wail a different song Ha, ha, funny how you broke me up You made the wine, now you drink the cup.
maybe a couple of these guys didn't deserve to die, but given that women had pretty much no recourse for dealing with awful and abusive husbands, I don't even really blame them. if it weren't for the fact that these poison makers seemed to be unscrupulous about who they sold their poison to and why, I would call them heroes. but as it stands some innocence were probably saved by their deaths. I won't be grieving the loss of those men who were confirmed to be assholes though.
Women have no power, still. I'm old, broke, alone and have been used, abused, paid 1/3 less than male wages even when doing male work, and disbelieved by a male dominated society for 73 years. My list is long. All that prevents my avenging my loved I ones is lack of knowledge and access to ingredients. A good, solid, rotting corpses in the streets pandemic could cover a multitude of sins. Had hope for covid, no luck. Pandemics/plagues have have provided cover/concealment for the down trodden right up until the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I recently discovered that the weeds choking my pastures, that are known to be highly toxic to my equines (because I can't afford a tractor)all have cyanide as their active ingredient. The beauty of cyanide? No one becomes resistant to it. Works first time, every time. Praise Jesus! Am I angry and bitter, vengeful and getting worse as I age? You bet I am! I bet I'm not alone. When work asked me to do group for at risk angry 15 year old girls, I declined. I explained that I knew what they're angry about, that they are right to be angry and given access to them I'd be more likely to raise a militia than do therapy as I'm more angry now than I was at 15. The boss gave me a strange look and a wide bearth thereafter. I was told my coworkers were afraid of me and characterized me ad combative and assaultive. I answered I hadn't even smacked anyone, yet. Poison is a woman's weapon. God knows we need one. This isn't hate speech, just my feelings about my oersonal experiences. Love the channel. Keep up the good work. ❤

😂 I love that movie!! Danny Kaye is a tremendous asset in that particular role!!
You fo4go5 about the pigeon with the parsley...
But what about the Flagon with the Dragon?
Love Danny Kaye movies. Secret Life Of Walter Mitty and Wonder Man come to mind
Yea, verily yea!
In ancient Rome, there were 4 kinds of poison. Poisons I, II, and III would kill you instantly.
Poison IV would just make you itchy.
Okay you win the internet today.
The Coasters had some fair success playing one called "Poison Ivy." ("You're gonna need an ocean, of Calamine Lotion."
Took me a minute....
@@otpyrcralphpierre1742 It's still taking me. Reading recommendations?
@@vaclav_fejt He's referring to a popular song...poison ivy. Poison IV.
I am grateful that my mother taught me to cook and prepare food when I was a young boy...
Preparing your own meals can be a lifesaver!
I've learned more history from you than anyone else. Thank you for taking me on a journey of subjects I would never think to explore.
5:04 "La seca" may have meant she was barren. 3:36 Padre Don Guillermo may have received some type of "payment" in return for procuring ingredients.
I loved this episode! It should be made into a movie, it was riveting.
Thank you History Guy
Hmmmm.....My Ex just invited me over for a home-made dinner tomorrow.... 🤔
always enjoy History Guy episodes.
Your influence resonates globally! 🌏 - "Progress comes from continuously striving to be better..."
And i thought bad cooking was hard to swallow...
Another great video T.H.G.
There was a similar case in France under Louis XIV, between 1676 and 1682 "L'Affaire des poisons"
The little sentence "women werent allowed to buy arsenic" I would really like to know the story behind that...
Good rainy night

Covering the story of Aqua Tofana
YES I was looking for this comment, LOL! As soon as he started telling the story, I whispered to myself ✨AQUA TOFANA✨! 😂😂
Great episode!
Who is the artist who painted the woman shown at 12:16?
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
I'd love to hear more details on that "antidote" they made.
When those who confess are sent to death , and those who refuse... Are spared in lack of confession 😅....
THG, can you tell me the name of the interesting painting that is the backdrop for the first minute of your video?
Roman School, 1651/1652
Rome, a view of the Piazza Navona
1:06
Thank you for your videos! It’s nice to rest and enjoy learning something new 😊
Sometimes people's cooking is bad. Like my ex girlfriend who's from Manchester England. They boiled everything. Even toast!😮
The English, in general, just can’t cook to save their lives. They tried conquering the entire planet for spices but when that didn’t fix the problem they just imported a few million Indians to cook edible food for them.
😅
...How does that even work? Were they making pudding?
@@EGRJ It was terrible.
Have heard many terrible accounts of traditional "English cooking" 😂
i miss living in a time where one historian can say: "She went to live with her uncle, a renowned sooth sayer and dabling in other mystic arts"
my uncle is a factory worker... :( I got ripped off on uncles
Love your videos
Staring at my bottle of Aquafina water suspiciously
My ex-wife often burned boiled eggs. Wasn’t smart enough to poison anyone,
Did you see the burned boiled eggs? A natural gas leak mimics the smell of boiled eggs? Maybe she was playing with the pilot light.
Excellent work 🍀🍀😎
There was a widow who's first three husbands died of poisoning. Her fourth husband died from head trauma. Evidently he refused to take the poison...
lavish with the details as always. thanks
From the title of the video, I thought this was going to be about Lucretia Borgia & her infamous poison-filled ring, lol. My husband's family traces back to her- my MIL's middle name is Lucretia because of that, so I'm always interested in Borgia stories. But this story was very interesting too.
I have 2 similar rings 💍 1 has to be atleast 350 years old. And it has white powder still in it the other has a skull on it !
Different sort of "ring"
I have read a series of books about the lady who was the main poisoner and her mom.
"poison is a women's weapon"
It used to be unisex in France. It is a government weapon in Russia.
Only in cheap fiction.
Ask Claudius mother?
Ah words the weapons of women.
She poisoned the figs on the tree. To kill her husband
Back in the Saddle Again Naturally!
My exe thought she was a great chef. I think she more-or-less tinkers in the kitchen. If any meal was particularly good, that was the poisonous one!
Darn good that didn't happen often!
Reminds me of the poisoner during the reign of Louis XIV.. around the same time
Sounds like the plot of a good movie
😎I do hope my wife does not come across this episode 😛
And this is why no-fault divorce is so important for both husbands and wives.

I feel sad for the women who suffered so much abuse and had no other way to escape it.
Killing is only justified in gravest extreme, when your own life is in danger, like Kyle Rittenhouse. Sick that you think women can't not be murderers, that's misogyny.
And this is why we need equality. The alternative are toxic relationships... in the extreme cases, literally.

The stereotype of the wicked witch exists for a reason in western culture. But according to women, we made it up.
