Some historians think Caligula wanting to make his horse a consul was lees about him being crazy and more about him wanting to insult the other consuls - basically going; look a horse can do your job.
These rules still apply presently, as for the stupidity of leaders, government, monarchs, presidents, and so on. I always love hearing historical stories. 😅 they never cease to amaze me.
Anyone ever feel like if Little Boots was born in our time, he would have been doing NFT rug pools? Maybe even an incel influencer? Good video, by the way.
Caligula was highly intelligent. His problem is that he had a personality disorder, most likely narcissism. I think some of his bizarre actions were actually stunts to pour scorn on people. Nominating his horse was extremely insulting, not dumb.
It's also believed that he may have suffered from syphilis contacted through his hedonistic lifestyle, And it somewhat explains some of his erratic behavior.
It's quite interesting to me as someone who loves clothes and is an amateur student of fashion history that Lord Cardigan and Lord Raglan fought together. One of them had a garment named after him (a good cardigan is so cozy) and the other a sleeve. Lord Raglan lost an arm in the Crimean War, and someone designed the sleeve for him to make it easier for him to get dressed and undressed.
Don't worry I get like that about how some people pronounce Edinburgh 😂 and I'm pedantic about other naming too it's just I'm Scottish so Edinburgh hits a little more haha
The videos and info are very dope, but if I could offer a helpful word it would be to make sure the images in the vids are of the actual historical figures. The images you used of James II were of James II of Great Britain and gus wife Anne Hyde, who was a Stuart, but the James you are talking about was James II of Scotland, a different Stuart Monarch. Again, great vids, just giving a lil helpful feedback! Keep vids coming!
The story is that Caligula’s initial reign was promising but after suffering from an unknown illness his personality changed dramatically and he started acting erratically. It’s speculated that he could have suffered from an illness that caused brain damage which is known to change people’s personality.
@mariapdr3261 --- So glad you brought this up because I was getting ready to comment on this very thing!! I have heard this as well and posit that perhaps he ran a very high fever resulting in brain damage or a bacterial or viral infection that made its way to his brain.
Cardigan- you forgot to mention the messenger was banging cardigan's sister. Cardigan hated him and thought the officer was below cardigan's station. That seriously impeded effective communication. As for his uniforms? He dressed as a hussar since he was one- very ornate dress and therefore not unusual for anyone at the time. The British actually modeled their cavalry uniforms on the original prussian designs. As did the French. It was considered haut couture and contributed to the concept that raising a cavalry regiment was expensive... weapons, supplies, pay, horses and the most expensive uniforms going...which a Col would have to pay for. He wasn't special for dressing like that.
I love this channel, and the narrator. Does anyone know who he is? He always cracks me up. Very funny, and informative. Edit: I found him through Google. His name is Tony Scott.
Ooooh the irony of someone calling somebody dumb 🙄 in the same sentence that they totally mispronounce the correct way to say Crimean...it's pronounced Cry-me-yan 🙄 😂😂
In fairness (grudgingly granted because Cardigan was widely known as an arrogant ass) the Charge of the Light Brigade which Cardigan commanded was not carried out on his order, but on the written orders of Lord Raglan (who has a style of socks named after HIM) who was in command of the English forces. He ordered the Light Brigade to stop Russian troops from carrying off cannon. Unfortunately, Raglan was on a high hill and could see the cannon HE wanted taken, but the Light Brigade and Cardigan were down in a valley...and the only cannon he could see were Russian guns at the end of the valley. Cardigan had been ordered to "advance rapidly"...and so he did. That was in the days when you followed orders...even stupid ones.
Raglan also has a clothing item of sorts named after him: The raglan sleeve. This is the kind of sleeve where the seam runs at an angle toward the neck, like the classic baseball T-shirt with contrast sleeves.
Cardigans are mostly worn by women, including me. And many men like to wear them too. Including the LEGEND Mr Roger's. SO. All that shade you tried to throw at cardigans sounded really goofy. Sorry to say
Cardigan's big problem was his orders, and even though he was no prize, he was not in a position to countermand the orders he received which were bad ones. In the British Army of the time, you followed your orders, even if they were bad ones destined to cause tragedy. It's entirely possible that Cardigan knew the orders would be a disaster even as he carried them out, but knew it was duty or disgrace.
I see pictures of the wrong James II in that section. You are showing James II of England who was James VII of Scotland and reigned around two centuries afterwards.
Ummm... what has dying on the toilet got to do with stupidity? When you've got to go, you've got to go, and if you cark it on the can, that's not stupidity, that's just bad luck.
It was fun learning about how little you understand Caligula. Real historians agree that he did not sleep with his sister. He hated the senate. He suggested his horse as a senator in order to tell the senate how useless they were as his horse could do a better job. He celebrated his victory rover England as away to mock his army for being too afraid to go over there and fight since the people there were known for their brutality. One can never really trust anything you say.because you're often incorrect.
I’ve always said people who seek power aren’t wrapped real tight! Trying very hard not to make a Freudian comment about James’ obsession with cannons. I failed.
For most of them "dumb" is not the correct description. They may be crazy, but not dumb. I don't have English as my native language, so maybe I don't understand this word correctly. However, I think it is correct.
You are correct. Dumb originally meant unable to speak ("deaf and dumb"). Over time the meaning changed to stupid, because that's what people thought of those who couldn't speak. It does not mean crazy, irrational, or eccentric, or even obedient to a dangerous military order.
Cardigan as little as I like him could not see the Turkish guns being removed by the Russians. The captain that carried the message was killed before he could stop Cardigan. Perhaps worse the historical predilection for bad orders carried out no matter what left Cardigan stating “there goes the last of the Brudenells” his family name as he moved foward
I could name quite a few that I worked for.... Air Force Security Police take tpp honors!! Working for dummies are the reason my kids have their Bachelor degrees!
Your account is correct; however, at least one of the paintings you show is James II of England, not Scotland. James II of England was also James VII of Scotland about 200 years later. James II of England, VII of Scotland died aged 67 of a brain haemorrhage.
Fyi: The photo at about 7 minutes is supposed to be James II of Scotland, but is actually James II of England (who was also James VII of Scotland). These 2 kings lived 2 1/2 centuries apart.
And @7:20 the portrait shown is of James II and VII with his daughters and 1st wife Anne Hyde, not James II of Scotland and his wife, Mary of Guelders.
You know, you can't really blame them for the occasional mistake considering how all of these monarch societies name their rulers. I mean, they will even change their name to fall in line. It confuses me constantly lol Typically if the history part is correct, I don't beef on the photos. Love this channel. Been a subscriber since the beginning.
As far as the deer dragging one of these rulers for sixteen miles. This is not stupidity. This is a horrible circumstance. A deer when it attacks faces its antlers down about waist height and charges at enemy. So, this deer could have easily grabbed the rulers belt while charging. I would say that the ruler was fortunate. Maybe God was looking after him. Because, being run down and impaled by a deer would have been a horrible way to die.
Loved the joke but Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple after one of her, and my, favorite bands, The Apples In Stereo. I thought everyone knew that.
To me, what is dumb is to take myths and legends and present them as historical facts, also, take events out of their context and present as a proof of dumbness, or maybe take people who watch your videos as being dumb. For example, Romans most often didn’t admit their failures in wars, and not only them. Lots of ancient civilizations’ texts claimed they won wars against their enemies, and their enemies claimed the same in their texts. Romans aren’t exception. Regarding the Cardigan’s failure, so many battles are lost and wars failed for following real orders, from smart leaders, and you are talking about alleged misinformation lacking the key word by the messenger, accidentally or maybe intentionally? Would you consider yourself dumb if a large artillery weapon would “accidentally” disfunction and instead of firing front, fire to the side? Could it be intentionally made up by the man’s enemies?
Fun to hear about these idiots, your photos of James II were a bit off-date tho. That was James II of england and VI of Scotland. Its easy to confuse though, as both James' were related, and both were married to women named Mary.
It is interesting about that dynasty of Byzantine rulers of the "Macedonian" dynasty, those were not from Macedonia at all... In those times Macedonia, the country which exists now and the region in Greece, almost all of that was under the rule of Bulgarians, so Byzantines decided to call another "theme" (Eastern Roman Emire was divided into regions called "themes") a theme that was somewhere in Trace, Macedonia, and those are from that region, Basil I, Basil II and all form that Macedonian dynasty.
Your editing team has not seen the woman who was thrown from the horns of a American Buffalo in South Dakota 2 years ago. Her trousers remained on the horn and she's lucky to be alive. (Sturgis' attendee)
I always hear/read King George IV as being called, “The Prince Regent”. Mad King George was George iii, but never really thought of his official name. Neat.
He was the Prince Regent for quite a long time, but he did succeed eventually. I believe it was the most expensive British coronation ever. The big diamond diadem that Queen Elizabeth II often wore when she went to open Parliament was made for George IV to wear on the way to his coronation. He's the only King who ever wore it (publicly, at least - someone might have tried it on for fun in private, I suppose).
I would hardly refer to Basil I, founder of the OTHER (along with Justinian) greatest dynasty in Byzantine HISTORY, as being stupid. You could say his ruthlessness and duplicitous ways, however, ushered in one final golden age for the Empire of Byzantium.
When I made my first confession, my first communion and when I was confirmed, our Priest Father Dominic was drunk lol hahahaha so was the Bishop when he confirmed us and there there were 10 of us.
I agree! I can see using a picture of the wrong King James to be an innocent mistake, but the repeated use of images of the current Pope to illustrate the depravity of John XII has to be deliberate. I'm neither Catholic nor even religious, but I find this pretty disrespectful
Not unless Caligula was into Dutch girls. Which seems about as likely as you being descended from Caligula's horse. Those Old Romans did f______ around...
He did become King George IV when his father George III died, in 1920, I believe. Prior to that he was the Prince Regent (not King Regent) for quite a few years.
All those "James II" pictures are the wrong King James II. The one you want is Scottish and lived 1430-1460. The one you're picturing is James II of the United Kingdom. He lived 1633 to 1701, and he was the younger bother of King Charles I of the United Kingdom (known as the "Merry Monarch").
It wasn't the United Kingdom yet, but yes. He was actually King James II of England and King James VII of Scotland. The kingdoms were in what was referred to as a personal union at the time - no paperwork done, but the same person inherited both thrones. Queen Anne a few years later got the paperwork through (or rather, her government did). Either way, as you say, not the one the story was about.
I am not sure, but possibly the art is of elk, which are called moose in the New World. Those really are huge. Hmm, no, moose have different antlers. Sorry.
That’s the thing about people like to George the fourth. He seems to think that people only like him because he’s a king but he doesn’t even know his people or care to get to know them like his wife actually did. So, of course, who would they want to believe is actually telling the truth?
News papers/broad sheets have ALWAYS taken Sides (bias) that is nothing that is not done today. Anonymity is key to survival, Put a word to a face and you have a body.

Schizophrenic, ODD, lots beyond narcissism. Bipolar.
Right. The horse thing was something like, “My HORSE would make a better consul that you! (Referring to the senate)
It's also believed that he may have suffered from syphilis contacted through his hedonistic lifestyle, And it somewhat explains some of his erratic behavior.
Mad, depraved, vain or arrogant is NOT the same as ''dumb''.

Raglan , is also a description of certain parts of a jumper - neck style from memory .
A jumper that does not have a seam at the shoulder, as I recall.
It's a particular style of sleeve attachment. I'm not familiar with Raglan socks, though.
Why are so many f*#cked up faces in the art. I thought I was having a stroke or something.😂
Raglan also has a clothing item of sorts named after him: The raglan sleeve. This is the kind of sleeve where the seam runs at an angle toward the neck, like the classic baseball T-shirt with contrast sleeves.

I thought that Caligula was going to promote his horse as an insult to the others who held that office. That it was more of a political f@ck you.

Tabloids were a thing in the late 1700s in France, which contributed to the French Revolution. George IV didn't become king until 1820.
He was Prince Regent for quite a while before that, but I wouldn't be surprised if the idea was borrowed.

Is trump a direct descendant of Caligula?
Not unless Caligula was into Dutch girls. Which seems about as likely as you being descended from Caligula's horse. Those Old Romans did f______ around...
George the 4th, was not The King, he was the King Regent, hence the name for the period he was on the throne, The Regenancy.
Regency Period, but yes.
He did become King George IV when his father George III died, in 1920, I believe. Prior to that he was the Prince Regent (not King Regent) for quite a few years.
All those "James II" pictures are the wrong King James II. The one you want is Scottish and lived 1430-1460. The one you're picturing is James II of the United Kingdom. He lived 1633 to 1701, and he was the younger bother of King Charles I of the United Kingdom (known as the "Merry Monarch").
It wasn't the United Kingdom yet, but yes. He was actually King James II of England and King James VII of Scotland. The kingdoms were in what was referred to as a personal union at the time - no paperwork done, but the same person inherited both thrones. Queen Anne a few years later got the paperwork through (or rather, her government did). Either way, as you say, not the one the story was about.
Yes, you're right. I was thinking of James I being the king of both Scotland and England.
