You cannot change what someone believes by threatening them. "The king decided to convert." Is quite different. They intend to support that by swordpoint, by killing all who refuse. Accept or refuse....don't expect beliefs to change.

Probably within the first decade of the clear emergence of the Christian faith as a phenomenon of great power and potential, people began to devise various ways to leverage the new belief system. They'd add this, they'd add that, drop that part, and maybe just invent something nice and throw it in. After a millennium, it was fully realized that a church could coerce practically anyone in the peasantry, if not in the nobility, to do anything they sought for. And it has gone like this, worse and worse, perhaps, to the present day. I am a Christian, nevertheless. I simply work hard to sift through the incredible load of human nonsense that has always attended this faith or any other.
Does anyone have full sized versions of the images at 10:56 of the saintly fellows holding the tops of their heads in their hands and at 8:19 of the fellows in the graves with the skulls? I have some project ideas these pics would be great for
Hilariously, and interestingly, many medieval theologians believed purgatory was a physical place, namely Iceland. There are multiple explanations for this, mostly the volcanoes and accompanying noises that came from the ground and that the Vikings (and thus danger) came from the north.
03:55. I like your videos, but _that_ is factually incorrect. Purgatory didn't become an accepted doctrine in the Middle Ages until sometime after the East-West Schism in 1054, because the Eastern (Orthodox) churches have no tradition of it.
@@Interne73859 Actually, it's completely true. We do *not* have the same idea of purification after death. I converted decades ago and was surprised there is no 'third state' after death in Orthodox Christianity.
All the horror stories told by the church scares the worshipers into piety and goodness to keep them in line with religious laws. A peaceful and forgiving creator would not be so harsh towards their congregation
Do some research before making silly comments. Many, many of the smartest people who ever lived, including the earliest church fathers, were able to deduce the existence of Purgatory. (And it isn’t necessarily a “place,” by the way, but a condition.)
@@byteme0000Blah blah blah. Who gives a shit about what any “Church fathers” ( where were the Church mothers? ) meant and thought? I don’t for sure. There is no God. It is as simple as that.
Heaven and hell weren't in the old testament. there was being dead and sheol..the grave. Christian fanfiction added heaven, hell, and all the rest out of whole cloth. Which is why Jews wisely still consider christianity a heresy even today.
A very interesting and informative channel, with history delivered in a lucid, entertaining and often amusing manner. Just one quibble. Why call it “Medieval Madness”? It makes it sound like you’re ridiculing the people and societies of that period, which you definitely are not. Something like “Medieval Life”, “the Real Middle Ages” or similar might be better.
No such thing as an after life or Heaven or Hell. These medieval were just like children with what they believed and the church preyed on that innocence and naivety. How sad, so happy to be born in a way more enlightened age. Also that guy who was a " witness sounds Delusional to me." You should do a episode about Mental illness back then like Delusional or Paranoid Schizophrenia and the church or something like that. P.S I love your channel.
Every time was always brutal..just in a different way. I would miss my IPad, phone, TH-cam, microwave, stovetop…did I miss anything? Ha. How about anybody else? What would you miss?

Meant that you actually died and got interred. In 2006, a woman's skeletonized body was discovered in a yard in (or near) York, England. Through research and examination, the woman was discovered to be about 40 to 50 years old at the time of death; she lived during the Middle Ages about 600 years ago, and when she was alive, she had suffered from syphilis and bone disease in the last months (or even years) of her life, and shortly before her death, she was partially paralyzed, so much that it was probably difficult for her to sit down, she had suffered a jawbone infection, and due to the partial paralysis/extremely fragile bones, she suffered from, if she attempted to sit down or stand up, could mean that her bones and legs would be broken and crack. Researchers thought that the woman must have been in a lot of suffering, pain, misery, shortly before her death, because of this. Imagine living like her, every single day of your life until you die, like this. It took many years to conclude the woman's name, identity, and occupation. In 2022, a breakthrough and lead was discovered in the case. The woman was never identified, but she is believed to be Isabelle Germain, a nun who worked and even lived in the same church, (the woman's body was discovered in a yard of the same church), during the Middle Ages, about 600 years ago (the time the woman would have died.). Isabelle's death certificate was even discovered. According to the death certificate, Isabelle Germain had died in the last week of August 1448, "as a adult woman", but then again the death age is not mentioned. We just know that she was a adult woman, and that she worked in the church as a nun for 20 years. In the last years of her life, according to the certificate and church records, Isabelle probably suffered from bone disease, but continued to work and live in the church, until her death in August 1448. After her death, her body was buried in the churchyard (where the woman's body was discovered in). Even though, a lot of other people were buried in the churchyard, researchers had paired the unidentified woman with Isabelle Germain, as the timeframe, illness, death and burial, all matches up with both Isabelle and the woman. Ultimately, after discovering more "extremely similar coincidences" between Isabelle Germain and the unidentified woman, which they shared and had in common, the body of the unidentified woman was declared as belonging to Isabelle Germain, a nun who worked and lived in a church. Due to her role as a nun, Isabelle was given a extremely huge limit on going outside, and breathing fresh air. She could only "go outside", if she poked her head throught her window and would breath the air, if you consider this as outside. But actually stepping outside on the grass and road, was forbidden to Isabelle Germain, a nun who was not even given full access of the church she lived and worked in. This too was forbidden. Almost all of the time, Isabelle was confined to a small part of the church, but like most men and women in the Middle Ages, Isabelle volunteered for living a confined life as a nun. People, who went to the church, would give her water and food, if the priests (in the church) would not give Isabelle food and water. Rich merchants would also give her money, even though she had no use of it, obviously. Truly!. A life that Isabelle Germain had volunteered for. 😢😢🎉🎉 Truly, hey does anyone feel bad and sorry for Isabelle German?!.
