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,

Переглядів 907 місяців тому
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!
Переглядів 1487 місяців тому
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!

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.
Henry the 7th is one cowardly man
Proudly named by THE Tottenham Hostpur Football Club. COYS
We have arrived.
My ancestor John Hardyng a Chronicler was taken in by Lord Percy Hotspur, don't know any more than that.
This is such a great presentation. I just came back from Milan and had the pleasure of visiting Sforza Castle. I was looking for more information in English about this family so this was perfecr! Can't wait for part two.
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.
what do you mean they ground it by hand? did they not have mills!?!?
Apart from your terrible pronouncing of their names this was really good,ive just watched the old film,cheers
Ahh yes, the more we go back in history the more atrocious we discover all people actually were, Including the indigenous
Comode to commode Mandella Efect!😂❤
Constance survived Geoffrey and ruled Brittany as Duchess in her own right. She broke conventions of female rulers and refused to allow her second the right to rule jointly with her. Constance fought her mother in law Eleanor and brother in law John, in behalf of her son Arthur's claims. She protected Arthur until her death in 1201.
Very enjoyable!
Kermit the frog from seaseme street news !! I knew it was you the second I heard your voice !! Where have you been all these years my darling? Don’t worry piggy and I are cool you can talk to me 😍
HES NOW PROVEN TO BE GENUINE BY NEW EVIDENCE. TUDORS COULDNT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS OR WUD LOSE THEIR THRONE . THEY FOUND A WAY TO GET RID OF HIM LATER.
Wow
I’m just honored to have gained the Crusader Kings 3 ‘Blood of Niall of the Nine Hostages’ buff in real life.
I believe had Richard won; he would have restarted the Hundred Year war.
Longer format would be amazing!
I recognise that voice from previous 'Gentleman's Wardrobe ' videos.
The royals set the trends

Why is being born in North Africa unfortunate?
This explains the end of Catholicism in most of Scotland.
I've read the manuscript that Oates and Tonge wrote that started the hysteria, and it reads like incoherent nonsense. The only reason everyone fell for his words is because he provided good scapegoats amongst an already anti-Catholic population.
This is something you missed in your video but Peter the great NEVER wanted Peter ii to secede to the throne. He was planning on naming one of his sons by his second wife at his heir but, well, that didn’t happen.
Thank you very much for sharing that with the group! I suppose Peter the Great sensed the character of the boy who would be Peter II.
Sweyn Forkbeard was Christian
Thank you for letting us know about that!
I've never read any evidence that she was that young at the time of marriage
I will have to go back and check my sources. Thank you for letting me know.
Well the joke on Richard; the current British royal family is descended from Edward-Not him.
This is why you don’t put a child on the throne.
Well said! I believe the Bible has a verse about that.
There were talks of Edward the fourth and Isabel of Castille to get married.
Really?! I didn't know about that. Thank you for sharing that with us.
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.
I agree he probably wasnt Christian, but Christian emperors continued the practice of deification until the 500s
I'm glad I'm not a CHRISTIAN keep BIBLES out our Schools Thank u 😊
Wow well done sharing this information robin of england surely great man of the people
That he was! Thank you very much for supporting the channel.
If Cardinal David Beaton had survived his assassination attempt in 1546, several historical outcomes in Scotland and its relations with England and the wider Protestant Reformation could have been different. Here are some possible scenarios: 1. **Continued Catholic Influence**: As a staunch defender of the Catholic faith, Beaton's survival could have led to a stronger and more prolonged resistance against the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. His political influence might have bolstered the Catholic Church's power and delayed the establishment of Protestantism as the dominant religion. 2. **Political Stability**: Beaton's assassination led to a period of political instability in Scotland. Had he lived, his influence might have ensured a more stable government, possibly preventing the power struggles that followed his death. 3. **Mary, Queen of Scots**: Beaton was a strong supporter of the Auld Alliance between Scotland and France. His survival could have further solidified this alliance, potentially leading to a more significant French influence in Scottish affairs and stronger support for Mary, Queen of Scots. 4. **Anglo-Scottish Relations**: Beaton was opposed to the marriage proposal between Mary, Queen of Scots, and Edward VI of England, known as the "Rough Wooing." His continued influence could have led to a prolonged conflict between Scotland and England, affecting the diplomatic and military strategies of both nations. 5. **Impact on the Reformation**: Beaton's survival might have slowed the spread of Protestantism in Scotland. As a result, the Reformation could have taken a different course, potentially leading to a more fragmented religious landscape in Scotland and affecting the broader European Reformation. 6. **Martyrdom and Resistance**: Beaton's role as a defender of the Catholic faith might have inspired more robust resistance movements against Protestant reforms. His continued presence could have led to the creation of more martyrs and a more intense religious conflict within Scotland. Overall, the survival of Cardinal David Beaton would likely have resulted in a more complex and contentious religious and political landscape in Scotland, with significant implications for its relations with England and the broader European context of the Reformation.
At least in modern english its wuster and the molven hills
Very very enjoyable.
I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed it. :)
This was good. I'll check out more of your videos.
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me.
Muito interessante, mas há dois (2) episódios como "part 2" ...
My mistake. Thank you very much for pointing out my error!
There is actually a Wikipedia entry for this, but it is a little rudimentary. I would really love to see a section on the Ruad Skinners representation in popular fiction and media. I’ll bet you there’s a lot of it! Recently, on a Quora thread dedicated to the television show FROM, which actually brought me to this page, it is speculated that the book of power is at the center of the FROM mystery.
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge on this topic! Please tell me more about FROM and the mysteries related to Raudskinna.
Uhm.....guys. You do realize that in Merneith's time it was female rulership in Egypt right? All the line before in Egypt worshipped Neith/Nott/Nyx. The Norse have her documented as being a wealthy MINE owner. Whose daughter Frigga supposedly owned 'their marshland' territory and married their Odin. (who was of a shepherd line) They said she had multiple husbands of many races. A white dude, a dwarf, a black man. They call her 'Jotun'. Its not clear if she was African or a Indo-European multicultural mix (Phoenician). The Greeks have her documented as being in the area of their first world community...and donating peoples to their community. Her daughter Hemera, joined them as their Day. A leader of either resources or armies. She might have been Gaia's mother. Who married a sea man / farmer / fisherman (white), a mountain man / craftsmen / miners (dwarf) and a migratory hunter of the forest / jungles (black). Gaia might have been her 'inheritor'. Because Nyx / Neith was a title. She married a man from Lower Egypt to unify the land. Then the Lower Egypt men tried to supplant her people in Upper Egypt. These men were the 'exiled rejects' from the mother land, Tanzanian mountains and the origin of the Homo Sapiens species. Their women didn't want them there.... Look at the faces of the rulers. They change from 'snake robe' to 'tall hat'. Its back and forth between Indo-European dwarf line and African line of Egypt. They just kept fighting. I think the 'white folks' gave up and stayed in Norse or Greek territory to the North....in Asia Minor and Greece. They KNEW they weren't going to be allowed to rule and were trying to make a live in peace elsewhere. That the 'mass grave' was the death of her peoples to replace her with her supposed husband, then son. Didn't you notice that the 'Israel Dan' tribe were shoved out of the region following the 1st Egyptian dynasty? Ever stop to consider they were related to DEN her supposed son? And that folks in the area were highly offended by the male takeover at the time.....
Thank you so much for sharing your vast knowledge with us! You've added much to the value of this video. :)
@@channellegendarium7677 Oh you are welcome. You'd be surprised how nobody wants to study or ACKNOWLEDGE women's role in history...because they're trying to hide the crimes they've done to them.
I am a fan of this kind of literature & I do have a collection of books by Flowers the most elusive book is Rauðskinna but I have some ideas on that & none of them have anything to do with necromancy even though I have some ideas on that also it is rather difficult to put information in a video like this & keep it entertaining but I do like your video
Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear that I proved equal to the challenge, or at least close to doing so.
those roman historians are bastards , they were there to get paid and write whatever their paymasters wanted just like the nowdays bastard journalists
Love it!!
I am so happy to hear that! Thank you. :)
ironically richard II, ignored the scottish & welsh marches...borderlands.. house percy... are the wardens of the north* possibly the inspiration for the kings in the north * house stark* house of the dragon and alnwick castle is *WINTERFELL*... As for the so called welsh rebels.. the prince of wales* owain glyndwr... *owen glendower* of shakespear , was of welsh nobility, distantly related to the later tudor dynasty ... and no less than 3 welsh kings.. also was recognised by france, aragon, scotland , several irish & breton nobility & the avignon pope... his alliance with charles the VI valois & henry hotspur percy, the events leading up too the battle of shrewsbury and the aftermath... the house of mortimer , via roger mortimer the 1st earl of the welsh marches... also a (*great grandson of the original welsh prince LLEWELLYN THE GREAT).. later the mortimer dynasty also had *plantagenet english royal blood... therefore were very very dangerous to HENRY IV legitmacy as king..
Thank you....subjected thus...😊
You're welcome. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Underrated Emperor for sure. I've seen alot of people say that his brother Valens is underated and I'm always thinking to myself that he would have been nothing in history without Valentinian. He was the career military man like his father, he knew all the right people too. Great vid on a great Emperor
Thank you so much for supporting the channel and I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed my video on Emperor Valentinian. During that age of warfare, a good emperor certainly had to be a good soldier as well!
the catapult i’ve heard stories like that, before. glad you’ve confirmed what would’ve otherwise been hearsay
I'm very happy that I could help grow your knowledge of medieval warfare. Thank you for supporting the channel!
I seem to remember reading a commemorative (gold?) coin was part of the collection of gifts beging given out.
Yes, I learned about that later. At least, the crowd thought that would be included.
