    Talking about royal divorces, when the Thai king got divorced (I think when he was a prince), he could say whatever he liked in the court, but his (now ex) wife couldn't say a bad word about him due to the Lese Majeste laws where it's an offence to say anything derogatory about the Thai Royal family... 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

      Stephen was absolutely right - their marriage made the English kings significant landholders in France and vassals to the French king - eventually those territorial claims and the complex feudal allegiances resulted in the conflicts that originated the Hundred Years' War - I mean, it was literally triggered by a dispute over the Duchy of Aquitaine!

    • @linshanhsiang

      ​@cordobes Rather conflict among French claimants to the throne inspired Edward III to say he was the true heir since his mother Anne the "she-wolf of France" (who with her lover locked up her husband Edward II and had him murdered, was the sister of the king of France. This though the Salic law forbade a woman from inheriting the throne. The Norman kings of England at least until King John, second surviving son of Henry II, had owned large parts of France.

    At 8.50, Stephen; 'Eleanor married Henry II and that began the 100 Years War'. WRONG! The 100 Years War (not a war but a long period of instability, conflict and plagues) lasted roughly from 1330 to 1450. Henry (not yet the king) married Eleanor in 1152 and became HenryII two years later. Really, Stephen! I expect much better than this from you.

    • @sarkedev

      I don't think he meant that it started right away, but that marriage _led to_ the starting of the Hundred Year's War. I.e. without that marriage, it likely wouldn't have happened.

      @FakeSchrodingersCat 5 місяців тому +6

      Sort of, Heron of Alexandria drew one in one of his books on mechanics and there were apparently models made but never a full sized one. Also it wasn't the piston kind of steam engine we know but a radial steam engine that just spun a expansion chamber by the power of a couple of angled steam exhausts. Completely impractical but it required most of the logic that led to the later engines. All it was meant to do really was demonstrate that steam could produce pressure.
