    Can we all just take a second to applaud Medieval Madness for not changing his videos to be full of AI generated images like so many other creators of this stuff do now. Its so much better knowing you are looking at real images that took time to research and know you're listening to a reap voice. So much of this stuff now on UA-cam is just full of lazy AI generated generic images of people with a generic AI voice and i don't know about you but i find that to be heavy uncanny valley when watching and it puts me off instantly. This is still so professional compared to all that stuff. Well done.

    This was actually a really awesome video. I could appreciate you going more into detail on each topic, but for what it was, (and I think what it was going for..)- just a timeline to sort of put things in perspective, it was very good. Great way to contextualize these events we've learned about, and kind of all know happened around the "Middle Ages." But centuries are incredibly difficult for the human brain to put into context.

    Going into my "Saved" videos pile on UA-cam, and I will transcribe it shortly. It is just so handy and complete a reference to keep nearby when reading historical books to be able to place events in their right place. I'd love to see one which places great works of art into their right historical place, in addition to musical artists -- that would be massively interesting and handy as well. Thanks again -- been a fan from the start, and suspect I will be here until the bitter end of all the madness!

    I really enjoyed this episode. It's rare to find anyone who includes global civilizations external to Europe in medieval history. I am curious to know how you feel about 'Pope Joan.' I know that *common* historical texts exclude her as a possibility, but there are too many oddities in the papal authentication practices to totally exclude it.

    I keep changing my mind about this channel. I enjoy some of the videos, the humor, visuals, snippets of medieval history... and then they will put out something completely off like this one and I just don't understand what they were thinking. There's no way that you can do a video called "complete history of the middle ages in 15 minutes" and have it be right in any way. I hope that I don't need to explain why because I would be here all day pointing out errors and problems. Please, stick to what you do well!

    The Mongols actually only had the largest connected empire, the Magna Carta actually was annulled soon after. The Habsburg family only became highly relevant from the mid-15th century. Worth mentioning also about the slave trade that about an estimated 90% of these slaves were bought from African kings. No mal intend. Good video.

    The first modern western novel was written by Stendahl: "Scarlet and Black". published in 1830
    It is also the best novel ever written...
    If you find any English translations titled "Red and Black" they are second rate translations.
    The standard English translation of Stendhal's classic has long been that of Margaret Shaw (1953),
    still available in the Penguin Classics edition. And it's still the best, by far.
    I highly recommend it... You can find used copies of it on the internet.

    Nepos was not the "last Roman emperor." He was just the last one based in the west. Justinian reunited most of the empire soon after. He was based in the east, but considered himself a Roman emperor, had the city of Rome under his rule, and Latin was his first language, so don't tell me he wasn't Roman emperor.
