- The ripping yarn of a treasure, a dead bishop, a broke pope, and the pirates who inadvertently paid for the walls of Avignon is truth stranger than fiction. Because all good stories involve pirates.

The mind boggles at how much history of the ancient world was lost in the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
Yeah, one also wonder wonders what is kept hidden in the vatican's secret archives.
You had me at pirates.
A pirate goes to the doctor and says, "I have moles on me back aaarrrghh."
The doctor: "It's ok, they're benign."
Pirate: "Count again, I think there be ten!"
It's an oldy, but a goody!! 😂
Aye don't get it. Please explain like I'm a pieces of 8 year old.
I can't wait for Sept 19th. National Talk Like a Pirate Day
@@mpetersen6 Yaaaaarrrrrr!
@@mpetersen6
Aaarrr!! Aye, sounds like a truly great celebration, and a truly wonderful chance to grab all the treasures on the seven seas, and be giving it all to childhood cancer research!! You'll have a whale 🐋 of a time, make new friends, and most important of all, help ye kiddies beat that awful cancer!!
This pirate always enjoys an obscure pirate story that was almost lost to history!
Where's that paddle, he's gaining on us!!
@@roberthevern6169 😂
The cufflinks are a nice touch!
Firefart and the holy treasure
I'd watch it
Sounds like a sequel to Blazing Saddles!
@@roberthevern6169ya beat me to it 😂😂😂😂 however, he invited lightning his on fire 🔥 🤙🏻😂😂☠️🔥
I love the pirate stories
They could make a movie out of this story, they might call it "Pope Fiction"
They could make a movie out of your comment, they'd call it "embarrassingly lame comment".

@@raunchyrarebitare you butthurt?
I like it
More twists and turns than the switchbacks on the Adirondack
What we have here is 10 part series!
I'll remember that: Firefart.
That really is a truly great story. Thank you for finding it and for presenting it here.
Yes, every story is better with pirates! Arghhh!❤🏴☠️
I always love a good pirate story!! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and your cuff links are quite "en pointe." Cheers from Canada!!
Watching from Mackinac Island Michigan
Wonderful place 💯💙✨😄
@@QueenRenne
And I live here !
Can you throw a small rock and watch as it enters Canada?
@@roberthevern6169
Nah, man.
It's about 70-80 miles up to the Soo.
But we're close.
The Anglelican archives have a similar story about the activities of a certain Bishop. I think it's filed in a secret history under the heading " Blackadder II"
What a wonderful post. Thank you and keep it up. May your channel continue to grow.
Wow Lance you did a fantastic job on this complicated and wordy story. I'm going to need to watch it a couple of times to absorb it all. Thank you for your hard work.
Great story! My son attended Binghamton. Excellent professors.
After hearing Cartagena so many times I think I'll watch Romancing the Stone again. 😂
Again? I've never seen it!
Even if it is a different Cartagena. Fun film.
Sounds like it could be one of those "madcap" comedy movies of the '60's like "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World". All that's needed is a love interest or two and it's good to go
This is one of the best history's ever told. !
love the background... I freeze frame to check out the shelves and wall decor.
This happened when Jacques De Molay was the Grand Master of the Knights Templars. But that is another story.

That statement is getting stale..😂 no offense..
@@Bill-cv1xu
Gee, ya' think?
@@frenzalrhomb6919 Seems to me..
Yeah, but can you name the artist??
What does that supposed to mean? I don't get the correlation.
Nice cufflinks! 🏴☠
??? When can you see them?
Ahh yes, Fire Fart! You scoundrel! You scourge of the Mediterranean Sea! You have struck again!
If my wife watches this episode, I may have a new nickname myself...
I pity you! Maybe take over the laundry at least until the embers cool!
@@roberthevern6169Did she watch it yet? 😂
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
As soon as I saw the title, the words “because, don’t all good stories…” popped into my head!
This is another cool story!
Thanks HG!
And we are grateful for your work. ✌️🤠
I like many UA-cam videos every day. I've been subscribed to your channel for years and have a lot of other subscrptions too (although yours is one of my favorites). But I don't often share the videos I watch. Well this was an extremely shareworthy video and I accordingly shared it. Thanks for making such interesting content!
as a refinement or addendum to your proverb, "pirates will make a story greater"
The yarn of yarns this wow
Thank you History Guy
so true. you tell pirate stories so well
14:20 Sounds like the Wu Tang Clan! Hey History Guy 🤓didn't you say that the Wu Tang Clan was nothing to F with ?!?👐
Was he really Celibate??? That is the part of history that is really forbidden to discuss… and how about the Nuns??? Orphans????
Very interesting story! ❤
I'm going to start a rock band and call it Firefart!😎🎸
Filthy stinking rich was the album cover name and a song that was on the album.The band was called warrant.
We have a warrant for your arrest!
@@roberthevern6169 Insert cassett,push PLAY.
I have toured Avignon. Beautiful place!!! My Roman Catholic family didn't believe me, until they read a bit!
Didn't believe what?
@@kimfleury that a Pope lived and worked in Avignon before I went there
Love your videos
Pirates twice in one story😮

Good morning History Guy and everyone watching. Have a good weekend... Win the Gold USA 2024 Paris Olympics!
But it's not about winning, just politics

No
Good one.
There is no end to the corruption of Medieval clergy and papacy.

It's a Pirate life for me!
How many more unknown stories are hidden away.
All good stories involve pirates.
Arrr, Matie, good video. Thanks!
There was a larger commercial war going on in the post Templars era. This was part of it. Look into how the Templars raised money, what their involvement in the wool markets was, and the iconography of the Templars, particularly of the Templars who were responsible for the fleet of ships that disappeared sometime on the night before Philip of France and Robert d'Norgurey (sic), his Attorney General, had their warrant and notice of confiscation delivered. There is a lot we still do not know, and I suspect looking in the older records of the Cistercians and Bernard of Clairvaux could be profitable, as they were often partners with the Templars from their founding to the end.
Having seen first hand how dirty the RCC was, it should not shock you to find they wanted none of this to come out- it has taken hundreds of years of pressure from outside the church to let academics begin the trove though 1600 years of the RCC's history.
You might just see those cuff links in a far different light with this little bit of prodding.
No it has not "taken hundreds of years of pressure from the outside to let academics begin the trove though 1600 years of the" Church's history. The first academics in the West were the professors who taught in Catholic universities, because every university in Europe was founded by bishops and religious orders.
But what specifically are you looking for? Because you have to know that before you can look at it. It's not like the librarians of the archives do or should let any Tom, Dick and Harry waltz through the ancient stacks pulling out papers both bound and unbound. I doubt you would even allow some stranger into your own library, or even have access to your bookshelf to pull all the books off the shelves and clumsily turn the pages looking for secrets that you don't want the world to know. Never mind the idea that you might have carefully organized your books and don't want it messed up. Never mind the idea that you might have inherited the library and found it to be overwhelmingly unorganized, as the previous librarians put books wherever they found a spot. Both of these are the cases with the Vatican archives. There's actually video of it on UA-cam explaining the procedures and requirements for accessing works that might be preserved in the archives, and the reasons for the procedures. In the past, items were stored wherever there was space, but a reorganization project is taking place, with investment in storage space and maintenance. Sometimes the thing you're looking for is just buried or not yet catalogued. It's not because they're hiding anything, but because you're dealing with 2,000 years of documents. But bigots don't accept reality when they can make a phony case for making their hated groups look bad.
Great story !
well told!
As THG always does!!
Love your pirate shirt 🏴☠️
Thanks!
Thsnk you!
All good stories involve pirates!
But of course, all the good stories involve pirates, one way or another 😂😂
The dread pirate 'firefart'... lol.
You can see why he’d be dreadful
@@TheHistoryGuyChannel Lol Indeed!
This ripping yarn must be one of many lurking in the Vatican archives.
Because don't all good stories involve pirates?!
Thank you for truth
Fragmentary joke, found in the Humour section of an ancient wing of the Vatican Library
"A soaking wet bishop, the sodden Pope and a pirate walk into a seaside bar. The bartender, quite familiar with castaways and ship wrecked sailors, guffawed loudly "Why the long faces? You look as though someone sank your galley !"
The bishop and the Pope grimace sourly and simultaneously point at the the pirate, and in unison both said "He did ..... "
Sadly, the punchline has not survived ...
"
Ooooh Pirates ☠️ ♥️
The socks pirates prefer are AARRGGGGGHYLES! What do pirates pay to get their ears pierced? A buck an ear! ARGGGH
It's past time to publish all the papal documents so they can't be lost to history!
They _are_ published if they're in the archives at the Vatican.
@@kimfleury printed isn't published
Of course, don't all good stories involve pirates!
The "War of the Peters". Giggle sophomorically.
Many of the only fragments we have of ancient civilization's writings, thoughts, and structure are little more than mundane receipts and correspondence (ie: emails).
There was alot of a~salt~ing going on back then
Was there any ass-salting?

Religion has always been about power and wealth. And control. And hoarding women. But then many get caught up in the hoopla and pomp, thinking it's their ticket to paradise and absolution of their misdeeds, past, present and even future.
Are you attempting to reinstate my already burst bubble? Sorry, bud,
many have tried, none have succeeded! But, there's a fool born every second!
Organized Religion, yes.
The Vatican Collection is 2000 years of knowledge, wealth and power. The richest collection on Earth, from original writings of all authors, precious metals and gems, original artworks from around the world over that time. Original manuscripts from all the scientists, philosophers and artisans since recorded time.
Could have ended the sentence at "Hollywood doesn't know anything"
Just shows the power and wealth of a religion.
So pirates are the salt of the earth?
A train load of gold and precious materials was also confiscated by pirates in WW2.
10:08 Anthony?
Brava
After all, don't all good stories involve loiterers?
Special thanks to Daniel and Karen.
5:11 Tim Tebow is still everywhere
WOW! There’s a name I hoped to never hear again…
❤ another great story because it has pirate’s 🏴☠️
It has pirate’s what?
Yaaaarrrrrr!
JEEEEEEZ, OH what history hides the Reasons which is how religion and politics are never boring.
I got a goal to reach it involves ancient food and the crops here and there how do I start and fish hatcheries
If you tax the Vatican alone, this could almost wipe out our deficit.
WE WILL NEVER KNOW THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE HUDSON BAY WOOL COMPANY......
"nephews"
😊👍
👍👍👍
What! The Catholic Church involved in shady dealings!
Surely, you jest!
Quick, call Ron Howard!
Nephews or "nephews"?
No, not all good stories involve pirates.

Good night.
