It is about 8am, on the morning of the 23rd of January 1483. Anselm Adornes, a member of that famous family from Bruges, is having breakfast in the guest hall of a Scottish monastery. A small army of men gathers outside hell-bent on doing him harm. Wanting to protect the nuns, Anselm decides to step outside and reason with the men. A decision that will cost him his life.
Pilgrim, merchant, humanist, knight, diplomat, renaissance man, Anselm Adornes was many things, but what was a Flemish merchant doing in Scotland and why was he murdered? Welcome to Medieval Madness.

Oh yess....the solid music the british accent....yess....a new topic, medieval of course...yesss so soothing, so interesting.
Who murdered him ? Obviously his wife, for forcing her to have 16 children. :D
Of course...if a woman kills a man it must be his fault right.
No accountability for females - ever. Because they are toddlers and cannot help themselves.👶
If I could hop in a time machine, I would absolutely go wander around one of those Flemish cloth fares… mell maybe I’d link up with a merchant and do the whole circuit. Medieval textiles are a delight. I wish we had more remnants left from that time. Frankly, it’s a testament to the quality and skill of the 13th century hands that spun and wove that cloth. Todays’s fabrics can barely make it through two washings without breaking down. Yet, we somehow have managed to hang on to natural fiber textiles made over half a millennia ago. Just incredible.
I often dream of travelling back to this period and taking a trip to the holy lands. A dangerous time but what an adventure with truly amazing sights to behold.
@@mrlume9475dangerous indeed, you'd be dead within the day.
I honestly live for comments like this because I agree!
@@h0rriphic Totally agree, the skill and ability of mediveval manufacturers is something that is rarely discussed. We need to get that time machine up and running to immerse ourselves in this truky wondeeful period in human ingenuitety.
I agree with you 100% A true testament to quality!
Hi Medieval Madness I really enjoy your channel I have learnt so much! Is it possible one day to cover money in the Medieval ages? Like where did the rich and poor keep their money and what happened if someone was too ill or injured to work? Thank you for teaching us so much!
I first learned about Anselm Adorn (his name in Scotland) by reading Scottish author Dorothy Dunnett’s excellent The House of Niccolo” series. Adorn plays a major part in most of the books. I highly recommend them. It was great to learn more about this fascinating and overlooked Medieval/Renaissance figure. Thank you!
The initial ads are so long on this that I gave up, But after quitting and restarting UA-cam, they disappeared. Fascinating video, thank you.
Weak...
@@vincenzospaghettiyeah, only the strong can be bootlickers for corporate greed. Stfu.
One of the best movie quotes of all time from 'In Bruges':
"It's just an inanimate object."
"YOU'RE AN INANIMATE F***ING OBJECT!!!"
lol gets me every time 😂
💙❤💜
11:25? I enjoyed this video. I appreciate the effort to share this history.
Thank you for the, very, very informative video
Happy Friday, lads
sepulchre = seh pull cur
The h is silent
Yep, quite annoying.
Yup, that was what I was thinking but thought it may be an Anglicized pronunciation.
Also, he said "cavalry" when he meant "Calvary".
@@mike-myke22it happened like 3 times, get over it. At least he’s not using an AI voice
cur pull seh
Medieval true crime rocks!
Thanks for the interesting video! Really great visuals, thanks for the time and effort you put in.
Your stuff is SO good I hit like before even watching!
Wow you are better than school 😎👍
That's not a fair comparison - school sucks ass.
Sepulcher = Sep-ul-kur

Right on. Thanks for sharing.
In Bruges? I wonder if they saw the alcoves in Koningin Astridpark.
His wife - did we even hear her name? - was remarkable if only for bearing so many children when many women died in childbirth.
Margaret I think the dude said he married at age 19
Margareta VanDerBank is what I heard at 4:10
Somebody need to adapt this into a dark, moody crime drama for HBO.

@@notmyrealname4 *Commenter sounds better since it’s not my quote being used.
You nerd.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Scottish politics were brutal! Anselm was an active historical figure with many resenting that!
Amazing at the family has been able to hold on to that estate for over 500 years
We had alum on the North Yorkshire coast.
Did I hear you say “artificial pelicans”!?
Sitting in faux trees YO, I just got to that bit
Ideal - no massive poop issue
16 children, dying must have been a doddle and nice break
💀 srsly
@3:30 it’s pronounced “se-pul-ker” subbed 👍🏼
Edit: wut was the “mystery” bit?
I need closer on this! 🤣
Another 1483 murder/mystery is what happened to the princes in the tower! 1483 was sure a year.
The 2 princes of the tower of london
7:11 his portrait looks like a meme 😂
7:16 man, they did him DIRTY
Pronounced "Sep-Leh-Cur" at least in American English. Otherwise, great presentation. 👍
7:09 “It’s not known why he was singled out by the teenage James III” Maybe they found a way to see eye-to-eye.
Hey question? Is that how sepulcher is pronounced in England because we pronounce it with a K sound in the US
Thank you for recognizing that people from different countries and even different regions may say things differently😊. I've often been teased because of my Scottish pronunciation of certain words, even though I grew up in Canada. That's how my parents spoke and I learned from them.
@@AlloAllo-sw9vq no one in any part of the world pronounces "sepulchre" as sepulltree. @colleens1107's question is valid, and your reply does not address it.
Sorry you were picked on for having an accent, though that anecdote does not apply to this situation. Scottish accents are one of my favorites in the English speaking world, by the way, I consider you lucky!
There was a movie based on this starring Collin Farrel
He’s got a chain around his neck?!? Where’s hers!
This isn’t the most mysterious one. The most mysterious one is Saint Simon of Trent
🥳
Our Lady of the Dry Tree? Asherah.
Sepulchre is pronounced SEPull-ker, not se-PULLtre
People from other places say things differently. Accept that and respect that. My parents are from Scotland and even though I grew up in Canada, I say some words differently than most people I know. So please, don't be so petty.
@@AlloAllo-sw9vq I'm not being petty, nor do I discount regional differences in speech. I am pointing out the use of a word that this narrator has clearly only seen in print, and has never heard spoken. There's nothing wrong with learning something new y'know. As a lover of literature and language, I love learning new words. I don't know why anyone would be offended by that.
How do you pronounce "sepulchre"?
The movie In Bruges with Colin Farrell is really good. It's about contract killing and they meet up there.
Damn that sexy Flanders! (If you know, you know. Also we're friends now 😄)
@@cboyles84 it's like I'm wearing nothin at all!
@@abraxasjinx5207 Finally! 😆👏
My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the Jerusalem Church in Bruges several years ago. It is out of the way of tourist traps and is a quiet place to visit. One of the most intriguing artifacts is a cross of gold, with ornate jewels. In the middle of the cross, a piece of wood is affixed. It is the only piece of wood claimed to have come from the cross of Christ that even the most ardent denier cannot disprove. If you ever find yourself in Bruges, please take the time to find it. The church is a special place, with a rich history.
I can disprove it.
If I were Jesus I'd be pissed off my followers are using the torture tool I died upon as their holy symbol.
Imagine the triggering of his PTSD as he pants, running from masses of adoring followers bearing crosses upon their necklaces!
Sorry to be so glum, but it feels like some kind of insult or maybe even a death cult.
Interest. Not much ado about murder.
Sepulchre is pronounced “Sep-pull-curr”. I love your content, man, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard the pronunciation of a word massacred so heinously.
People from different places, with different accents and emphasis on different syllables. My parents are Scottish and even though I grew up in Canada, I say some words differently from many other Canadians because I learned from them. Show tolerance and accept differences and respect them. After all, the English are the ones who developed the English language, nicht wahr?
How would you pronounce Edinburgh? The emphasis is on which syllable? How is the third syllable correctly pronounced? Write it, please. I'd like to see how badly you "massacre" it. It's not ED in burg. Just saying, supercilious idiot.
@@AlloAllo-sw9vq people also mispronounce words that they've only seen in print and have never heard spoken, as is the case in this video.
I really enjoyed you more when you didnt use ai and chatgpt.
@@anniethemese1215 is that why he/it keeps saying "sePULLtree"? I mostly follow this channel because I love his voice, but that mispronunciation kept poking me in the brain.
You really botched the pronunciation of _Sepulchre._
Maybe it's because YOU pronounce it incorrectly. The English developed the language, didn't they? Yeah, that's why it's called English, right? Acceptance and respect is what's needed in the world, not petty, snipy comments. Did you understand what he was referring to? If so, why bother to make a nasty comment?
@@realtalk6195 hard agree, that was very distracting. I think he had only ever seen the word in print before, never spoken. Cruise the comments- you're definitely not alone in that observation.
First, I am a long time subscriber, first time commenter, and I enjoy you Medieval Madness channel on YT a lot.
But... The Holy Sepulchre is not pronounced Seh-pull-cher, it is pronounced Seh-pull-ker. A small thing, but as it was the focus of the religious imagination of all of Medieval Europe during the crusades, it is worth getting the pronunciation correct.
Also, it is important to understand the difference between Cal-vary and Cav-alry. Jesus wasn't crucified on horseback, after all.
You ought to verify some of your pronunciations before you upload.
my favorite time of day and its right after i get off work 🤌🏻
Me too! We must have similar evening routines. 😅
I swear i can't get enough of my Ancient European Ancestors History.....💪🏻😎🤍....I could literally watch it all day and night but thanks for giving Real history lessons
Your ancestors were serfs who didn’t own the pot they pissed in.
Yo dude, are you white? I don’t think you’re doing enough to give that away. You need to be even more obnoxious about it.
Any good and long documentaries you recommend?
@@mmacutgirl8 Check out when Arabic Muslims enslaved Christian Europeans by the millions for 3 centuries that's also pretty interesting as well
