This really depends on if you're being transported back there or if you'd been born back in that time. Most people in technologically developed societies don't have the necessary skills for survival, but if you were raised back then, you would gain them as did the people back then.
I found out through DNA that I am 86% English/Scottish, 9% Irish and a bit of other stuff. My ancestors moved to Appalachian NC and TN in the early 1700's. I wonder if that is why I love this channel and everything medieval .
Brother, please - You're American, not English/Irish/Scottish. By all means, respect your heritage, but please don't claim it as your nationality. Have pride in your own.
King John is not “the first,” as there never was another king with the name, unsurprisingly. He still has a pretty bad reputation to this day, although a lot of that is due to his portrayal of the villain in many Robin Hood tales.
Please. Stop. Commenting. Unless you have something useful or interesting to say. Not just petty, snipy remarks that only serve to make you feel smug and temporarily superior. Grow up
Maybe the royal boys just died early because of normal childhood life at the time? They were seen playing in the garden, but did they leave the garden or die of "No, don't eat those berries!" Or one may have done an archaic dab in front of a diplomat, so out of an abundance of cation the two had been put to work as forced labor on a war ship that sank? But yeah, with no expertise of my own in the subject, I figure royal politics had been what took their lives... Or someone forgot to feed them in the tower and what happened, just happened. Nobody wanted to take the blame for that little snafu.
Nice theories but how about the most likely. 2 boys strongest claim as heirs to the crown, uncle who wants to be king but can't because 2 young defenseless boys in his grasphave a better claim,boys then go missing.
Richard III gets a bad rap for many reasons, but potentially knocking off the princes in the tower was, at the time, really no big deal. You have to remember that this was a time of civil war and turmoil; we call it The Wars of the Roses, but that was a Victorian construct. At the time it was called "The Cousins' War" because all of the main belligerents were members of various branches of the ruling Plantagenet family. To our eyes today the deaths of the young princes is an atrocity, but one of the duties of a historian is to not transplant today's sensibilities onto the time that we study. At the time most ordinary people were fairly "meh" about it because, at and following Tewkesbury in 1471, the entire Lancastrian royal bloodline had been exterminated (Henry Tudor was still alive, but he had no valid claim to the throne). The point is that incovenient relatives were routinely murdered during this period and the princes were far from the only ones to suffer this fate. The only reason we know so much about this event is that Henry Tudor had the services of excellent propagandists and it suited the Tudor dynasty to portray the preceding Plantagenets as dysfunctional, murderous monsters from whom only the Tudor dynasty could save England. So yes, Richard III probably did knock off the princes, but he was a very, very long way from being unique in this regard.

6:58 - Richard II wasn't stabbed. He was left in a cell, to die an agonizing death by thirst, so that no one could be blamed for having killed their monarch.
Then you need to read History a little More. The version here was a garbled mess. George was the 2nd son, not the 3rd, and the reason he was executed was because he rebelled against Edward Twice. The first time Edward pardoned him but he had a another go, and so He had to go. He wasn´t a particularly savoury character, being a drunkard and womaniser. Richard, on the other hand was totally loyal to Edward and the Yorkist cause, which rather makes the idea that he then murdered his beloved brother´s children a little bizarre.
@@Wetbagels he also wasn´t John 1st. There has never been another one so is just John. This whole piece is full of errors. from showing wrong portraits, to wrong dates to wrong successions and titles.
Lol i know just how to survive the medieval era. Gain the skills and become an executioner don’t drink and keep an open mind and go with whatever religion the king wants and be a loyal executioner and sere whatever king is in power at the time. Be very respectful and not cause drama don’t commit crimes no matter how hard life is. That would be my plan. I do medieval reenactment and I reenact the executioner so i know how i would be able to survive. Hay the life would not be easy but hay if i was in that time period and i wanted to live that’s what I would do
I visited the Tower many years ago. So much history in one spot! Definitely worth a visit.
I love MM! And the narrators voice!
Buildings terrify me. You never know what they are thinking or their next move will be…
I knew it was gonna be the Tower of London! visited it years ago, truly a grand structure w so much history packed into its walls
thanks for another great video.
I could never survive Middle Ages
I feel like this is gonna be the top comment

There's no such King as John I. As there was only ever one king by the name of John, he is simply referred to as King John.
As they sing in Disney's "Robin Hood": "Too late to be known as John the First, he's sure to be known as John the worst..."

The Nazi party did not exist in the 19th century.
19th century = 1800 to 1899.
20th century = 1900 to 1999.
Actually centuries start in the year xx01 as there was no year zero

No actually Henry Tudor was more dangerous. He had the most to lose keeping the heir and the spare alive

It's sad that London is now Londonstan. Guess the blasphemers of the religion of peace will be taken care of in the tower.
