There's a joke in Good Omens where Crowley the Demon exclaims that the only good thing about time is that it brought him further away from the 14th century. 😂 Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman definitely knew their history
1:41:15 The story you guys are talking about is “The Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe. It uses a lot of symbolism, but yes, the Black Death was the basis for the main part of the story
@Gaby: As a published mathematician, I agree w/ the issue of "peer reviewed articles." I did the same for my first publication, I made it easy to understand for everyone to understand. My article got rejected b/c "it was too simple." I re-wrote it to make it where only people in my niche field of math would understand (less than 50 ppl worldwide), then it passed the mustard. Even though I wrote it, I barely understand what I did now. 🤦♂️ I think academics just like to hear themselves talk and sound smart to the point where everyone is smelling their own farts, not realizing it all stinks.
I work in applied sciences fields, but at the construction level. I come from a labor background, my first 12 years of working was as a laborer. The difference in myself and my colleagues, especially those doing the "sexier" things, is embarrassing. Going to job sites, I can read the anticipation on the faves of the contractors and laborers, that I'm going to come in as an elitist smug engineer, until I strap on a harness with them and start climbing the scaffolding with as much abandon as they do, sliding between constructs, and not afraid to get grungy and greasy to keep the work moving, even helping bringing along materials and tools as needed if it's in the way to my inspection point.
1:43:00 Fun fact about the term Scapegoat: in its original meaning, the scapegoat is the only innocent in the scenario. Communities would choose two goats to sacrifice to cleanse themselves of their sins. One of the goats would be killed as a sacrifice, and the other would be driven off into the wild, believed to carry the community's sins with it. The second goat was the scapegoat, an innocent who bore the sins of others so they didn't have to pay for them.
And ......,.... no. Scapegoat as a word was created (badly) in the 1500s for a biblical passage rendered into English. It was never directly used in the way you imply as the creation of the word was separated from the action of carrying it out by several millennia and most of a continent.
@@baconghoti Interesting, because according to my sources it was a term used by Jewish communities in the 16th century to describe the practice I laid out above in the lead up to Yom Kippur. And further, similar practices were carried out even before then. The biblical use of the term was lifted out of its cultural context (Jewish communities) and used in the book. So in one way you are correct, in the timeframe and that Christian communities didn't actually do it. But assuming that I was talking about it as a Christian term when they didn't even invent the word, that's where you went wrong.
@@reecelongden3500 whilst my sources would put the origins as being a mistranslation of a passage from Leviticus. In a ceremony leading up to Yom Kippur one goat is for the Lord and the other (lead into the wilderness) is for Azazel. Unfortunately with the translations from the original through Greek and Latin for Azazel became is Ez Ozel (goat that departs). It's this Latinate mistranslation reached English and became the goat named Scapegoote. So, whilst there have been ceremonies involving goats, the naming of one as scapegoat has nothing to do with the actual celebrants. That the word arose in C15th is an artifact of creating a new word for translation of translation of translation of bad translation. A more literal translation would be demonsgoat, but nobody involved of the deliberate creation of the word scapegoat was around to witness the ceremony.
Itd be awesome to see a whole episode on medieval motherhood and parental bonds, like Gabby was talking about. Like a comparison between what would happen if you found out you were pregnant if you were Queen vs a noblewoman vs a merchant vs a serf, etc or something like that
30:19 Also, wars were not fought in inclement weather. So, going into winter and up to when mud is solidified, the men would go home if they could. Also, everyone took a time out for the holidays.
Super excited to see you cover the Guelfs and the Ghibellines! It's a fascinating subject as people vie for legitimacy and backing. How ideologies are co-opted for competition and authority. The audio lecture series "The Italians before Italy" and especially the lecture entitled "A Question of Sovereignty" is such a good introduction to it but there's still so much more to it and so little that's been said about it on youtube and other accessible media. I would love to see you discuss the Guelf-Ghibelline conflict from the perspective of the common people. The G-G conflict seems to exist in so many dimensions: faith, ideology, policy-decision, culture, group identity, intra-city politics, international diplomacy.
Oh yeah! A long one to listen to while working. It's so refreshing hearing you both so excited when it comes to bookclub episodes, keep it up. Also... do you know about the time the Irish brought cake 3 times to a british prison to 'celebrate' Éamon De Valera's birthday 3 days in a row to help him escape in the 1900s?
While I can't say it's absolutely true, when I spent 10 years driving pizza in my small town the cops had a tendency to be out in force the last week of the month (usually) and our drivers would joke that "the cops are making their monthly ticket quota"
I love this family you are so sweet and wholesome despite what you talk about being some topics being dark,funny or just crazy. Your just encouraging each other is my favorite and you guys going on tangents is amazing
There is still something to add: During most of the 14th century, the church wasn't centered in Rome but in Avignon/France. This includes the time when the Templars were persecuted.
This was a very interesting episode. Probably because you covered a topic I could talk to you about all day long. If the conversation was in a pub, probably all night long. I can talk about England giving the French a dose of Longbow until the cows come home.
You read a fiction novel and there is this noble character (or more of them) who does something suicidally stupid because of "i'm a noble, it will work out for me!" and you think to yourself "nobody is this stupid". But then, you read the behavior of the French nobility in the 14th century (not just Hundred Years War, just read about their behavior during the Battle of Nikopolis against the Ottomans).
It's great listening to you two talk about history in these, and the longer podcasts are my favorite. The most amusing part of this was when the plague came up, you could practically hear the teakettle whistle building before she started going off into her own expertise and ranting about biology and science. It was wonderful listening to you guys today.
Sometimes I wonder if the visual stereotype of "Always dark and coudly sky with lots of rain and sometimes lots of fog and muddy fields" that some media tend to use to portray the Medieval Times to paint an image of them as "Dark Ages" actually comes from the 1310's... Is that so? Because it looks like so and feels fitting.
People couldn't get invested in their children until they were young adults even going back to my grandmothers youth. They lost 2 of her siblings and they just named the next one the same thing.
First time listening to the podcast and Ive been listening to this 2 hours straight, and im hooked, the holistic and comprehensive look on howeverything is interconnected and the domino effect of the something as significant as a major pandamic was refreshing. cant help but relate the end of Serfdom with the current pandemic and the great shift from On-premise work to remote work specially in IT, might not have happened if it wasn;t for the pandemic. love the narrative style. can't wait for more
I'm a huge history nerd and I love the fresh enthusiasm you bring to history. Is there anyway you could make a video on David Livingston and that Era of African history? I find his impact on slavery isn't talked about enough.
Brazil: 2 kings, 8 dictators, 30 presidents, 5 coups, 2 Impeachments, a president trying to coup himself, an ex-dictator president killing himself and the biggest corruption scandal of the world
I know a little bit about crop rotation, it's good to get a little bit of a dive om the subject because it's so interesting! Clover is actually my favorite part of crop rotation, the idea is that you only harvest the top part of a clover plant, leaving the roots in the soil, giving it structure and when the plant soon died, nutrients.
Saying "blood ties where more important" is meant that if you're ruler is the beloved cousin of the nations around you meant the natikns around you are less likely to attack you. In the event the ruler held 0 blood of the nation to be ruled, they married a local and had children and made matches locally and foreign for more alliance.
*ticket quotas aren't legal anymore, so the reference to Athens, TN is outdated. Some departments do pressure a bit for more tickets, but the actual quota is not legal.
I love this! People always think about war in modern methods. War used to be tan for profit. People would pillage and burn. Taking anything valuable, including people for slavery.
Gabby should make science more accessible. I love the rant explaining that yeah shit is not as easy as people think it is it's information is not as easily accessible as people make it out to be. And I think Gabby and other like-minded scientists should work to make this more accessible. Figure out a way to digest and make basically all of these papers journals and everything accessible for the average person. Maybe even start the science of everything podcast XD
My english class just finished with The Canterbury Tales, and I so wish I had listened to this beforehand, especially in regards to the sinful indulgences of the clergymen. Such an awesome episode! Good stuff y'all!
Gabby you hit that spot on. The actual details of the science are gatekept from the majority of the population. Also as a person who prides themselves in having a very good reading comprehension I struggle hard to understand scientific papers. Youre a brilliant person to be able to publish one of those papers
I heard someone once call Global Warming "The world's most dangerous misnomer". He went on to say that a better term (in spite of how silly it sounds) would have been "Global Weirding" to explain weird weather phenomenon caused by climate change
"Everyone's allowed to think what they want." Strongly disagree in some cases, and if someone is arguing for mass death I think that's a pretty obvious case where they shouldn't be given free reign.
Dark ages is not a literal term. rather it was used because when Historians looked at this period of history they noticed that there was a lack of surviving literature and other information about what was going on at the time compared to the earlier classical period
I wish this man was my history teacher in school he's just so energetic and fun fuck if he had his wife as his Co-teacher I think every person in my school would have studied history about 200% harder and would create proper clubs over it. These two together are the ultimate history duo.
I would love to know more about Eleanor of Aquitaine, I’ve encountered her in Civilization VI but never known much about her. (And unfortunately I’m too broke for patreon 😫)
Until they get a full episode on her out, I'd suggest watching the Extra History series about her and her legacy; it's a fascinating story, and they tell it pretty well.
Round here, we'd use seaweed and manure as fertiliser, and it's the channel islands so we did plenty of fishing, so we didn't starve quite so badly. We did, however, have dozens of French invasions to deal with.
Can you do a long video on the rise of Hitler? Like. From the start. My better half loves history from that time period. The way you explain things is easy to follow and makes it easy to learn.
Gabby's rant about the true accessibility of science speaks so much to the state of knowledge. I always have to remind myself their are PHD holders that are also Young Earth Creationists, and believe magic is science; when it's their specific sacred cow
All I could think of when Stephen was talking about the catastrophic French cavalry charges during the Battle of Agincourt was that one line from Total War Warhammer FOR ZE LADY!!
I really don't like how we just say entire periods of history were awful. I mean, the last few years have been terrible but has the entirety of the 21st century really been that bad?
According to a recent thesis by a french historian, to sustain a 10 000 men strong Tümen, Mongols needed around 100 to 120 000 people. Basically, in addition of the 10 000 men in the actual army, 10 000 more were there to support them and replace them, 10 000 more were in addition to replace the assistants, and then you add the other members of the families like wives, children, non-registered males, etc.... But that was in a highly efficient and organized system, in Europe it was probably a lot less efficient ˆˆ
I would say that the dark ages would actually be the period between the Bronze Age collapse and the classical period where things just got so bad that we don't even have a historical record for nearly a 400 year period.
Eh Egypt survived so its more greece and anatolia really got hit with it. Also wouldn't wanna live until start of the 2000s. All lf these times were nightmarish especially if you were a girl or peasant of any kind.
1:47:25 Pogrom is a Russian word that means "riot or violent destruction." It was used to mean a general riot until that word started to be attributed to local attacks on Jewish communities and got relegated to that meaning alone. Grom (from pogrom) means thunder. So, the word itself has this terrifying, loud, helpless feeling to it.
The Edgar Allan Poe story she's talking about is called The Masque of the Red Death. How is it not a horror movie yet, is beyond me. Step it up, Hollywood.
Man, am I late to this one. Another reason people won't invest in 401k anymore is because any time the market crashes, asset management firms sacrifice your 401k investments to prop of the value of VIP investments to keep the VIPs from pulling their investments to keep the asset managers alive. Which is why you lose 10-30% of your 401k every time the economy crashes and the rich somehow get richer. You're better off tossing your savings into a fixed interest savings account until everyone is doing that and the banks start playing the same game as asset managers.
I agree with you both completely about "Global Warming". I dont know if the hype is intentional or not, however i do know the hype around the concept is hurting us more than the actual climate change itself.
There's a town in Utah, Mantua, that's kind of in between 2 cities on a major highway, but doesn't have much in the way of actual business. It's in a mountain pass, so there's really only room there for residents, a small convenience store, and a mini reservoir (not even enough for boating tourism). For roughly a decade they turned that section of highway into a horrendous speed trap, and the mantua cops would get on the highway and just dole out tickets like it was new years in order to get all the funding for the city. ... eventually the Utah legislature put a hard ban that only X% of their annual city revenues could come from speeding tickets. lol
She makes a great point about science, not being easily accessible and how she is changing her paper to the jargon of her field so that it sounds smart but if the new generation of people i.e. people in their 20s and 30s want to actually help people learn who is to say you have to keep up with a 60 Year Old Way of writing things change it now
"finds another way to get to get interest" Honestly, Sounds like what i do on Fable 3. Instead of taxes, i just buy all the homes and generate funds that way. So then I am able to do all the "good" actions but still bankroll the things to help defend Albion.
Also the crossbowmen didnt have their pavise because the french refursed to wait and jusy started attacking. Those shields would definitely have made a big difference.
Really enjoyed the podcast, even if I was late to the game... but the discourse on there being no point in bonding with your own kids because of the mortality rate... very depressing. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff.
I love hearing Gabby ask all the questions I would be asking if I were there. Makes the podcast so relatable :D
I see what you did there.... 🤣🤣🤣
Love this content! Keep it up!

Like a comparison between what would happen if you found out you were pregnant if you were Queen vs a noblewoman vs a merchant vs a serf, etc or something like that
Medieval moms were like. No names, no attachment.
I agree, I wanna see this. Absolutely fascinated by the idea of pregnant queen vs pregnant middle class lady vs poor pregnant lady.
30:19 Also, wars were not fought in inclement weather. So, going into winter and up to when mud is solidified, the men would go home if they could.

I also always liked the statement that history doesn't repeat; but it does rhyme.
"They just did it to themselves because they're evil beings" -- and that's why critical thinking is such an important, under-taught skill

I think it was so cute that Gabby thought the Nobles cared about the peasants were going through
Some did. You only hear about the monsters, because they did things that stood out.
Ikr? The idea that leader's purpose is to care for their people is quite new (public servants).

God I love this podcast. It’s exactly what I need to listen to at work.
The History of Daylight Savings Time. The History of Anatomic Annie and CPR. The History of Dueling.
I would actually love to hear about the battle of Crecy!
New quotes… “Merchants had to Merch”. (The face she gave to her own wording was funny).
Did not know what I missed but the two of you rambling through history is pure serotonin!
Yalls dynamic is great and I love it. It's so similar to my gf and I when about history and loving eachothers interests.
29:00 the limit for armies is wealth and equipment far more often than it is a population issue.
Saying "blood ties where more important" is meant that if you're ruler is the beloved cousin of the nations around you meant the natikns around you are less likely to attack you.

This podcast is awesome! I love this kind of content! You two mend together really well!
1861 is the year the tsar abolished serfdom in Russia, please do a podcast about it!
Heard this once
History doesn’t “repeat itself,” but it does rhyme

I would love to know more about Eleanor of Aquitaine, I’ve encountered her in Civilization VI but never known much about her. (And unfortunately I’m too broke for patreon 😫)
She's quite fascinating, and her marriage to the english king almost caused the english to win the Hundred years war.
Until they get a full episode on her out, I'd suggest watching the Extra History series about her and her legacy; it's a fascinating story, and they tell it pretty well.

1:41:00 Masque of the Red Death, by Edgar Allen Poe! Gabby was right :)
Stakuyi and Gabby. Are. Couple. Goals.
21°F cold? My man, it hasn't been 20° at my house in ten days, our warmest temp was 14° at 2pm yesterday!

How is it not a horror movie yet, is beyond me. Step it up, Hollywood.
The Vincent Price/Hammer Horror one is the best
This is so dope, exactly what I’ve been looking for.
1:41:19 Masque of the Red Death, first time I heard it I was stoned out of my mind because of a break up
ah, you got it later, sorry
"farmers had to farm, merchants had to... merch" :P
Masque of the Red Death was the story you mentioned by Edgar Allen Poe.
The ticket quota thing is still alive and well. Near end of month it's well known that around here cops are far more strict about ticketing.
Man, am I late to this one. Another reason people won't invest in 401k anymore is because any time the market crashes, asset management firms sacrifice your 401k investments to prop of the value of VIP investments to keep the VIPs from pulling their investments to keep the asset managers alive. Which is why you lose 10-30% of your 401k every time the economy crashes and the rich somehow get richer. You're better off tossing your savings into a fixed interest savings account until everyone is doing that and the banks start playing the same game as asset managers.
Great podcast. Keep it up guys.
I agree with you both completely about "Global Warming". I dont know if the hype is intentional or not, however i do know the hype around the concept is hurting us more than the actual climate change itself.
"farmers gotta farm, merchants gotta merch..." 😂
The Edgar Allan Poe story about the party is called "The Masque of the Red Death",.
"we're definitely editing this out"

Dude this guy has a perfect radio voice
I’d like a video of Stakuyi reading his thesis on The Battle of Crecy.
can you talk about the differences in war horses throughout history? european vs arabian vs asian
There's a town in Utah, Mantua, that's kind of in between 2 cities on a major highway, but doesn't have much in the way of actual business. It's in a mountain pass, so there's really only room there for residents, a small convenience store, and a mini reservoir (not even enough for boating tourism).
For roughly a decade they turned that section of highway into a horrendous speed trap, and the mantua cops would get on the highway and just dole out tickets like it was new years in order to get all the funding for the city.
...
eventually the Utah legislature put a hard ban that only X% of their annual city revenues could come from speeding tickets. lol
She makes a great point about science, not being easily accessible and how she is changing her paper to the jargon of her field so that it sounds smart but if the new generation of people i.e. people in their 20s and 30s want to actually help people learn who is to say you have to keep up with a 60 Year Old Way of writing things change it now
Edgar Allan Poe's story that your wife is thinking of is probably Mask of the Red Death
Time to read Strauss and Howe to understand the cycles
"Farmers had to farm, merchants had to... merch,"
26:40 stakuyi goes full Thanos.
... Hi GUYS ... HAPPY NEW YEAR ... PEACE ... HEALTH ... PROSPERITY ... TO ALL ...
"finds another way to get to get interest"
Honestly, Sounds like what i do on Fable 3. Instead of taxes, i just buy all the homes and generate funds that way. So then I am able to do all the "good" actions but still bankroll the things to help defend Albion.
Also the crossbowmen didnt have their pavise because the french refursed to wait and jusy started attacking. Those shields would definitely have made a big difference.
Really enjoyed the podcast, even if I was late to the game... but the discourse on there being no point in bonding with your own kids because of the mortality rate... very depressing. Looking forward to watching more of your stuff.
Merchants have mer...chant. lol I'm going to use that one later, I actually like that.
