Yeezy Foams look stupid af and people still wore them. The reality is, most folks will ignore how ridiculous something is as long as it's "in fashion".
What Middle Ages? Those disgusting shoes were worn by women (at least in Madrid, Spain) in the 90s and made standing in the metro or bus very awkward. I couldn´t wait for them to go out of style.
Along with the shoes. The sleeves of men's shirts kept getting longer and more ornate. A law was passed at about the same time as the Shoe Law mentioned limiting the amount of material in the sleeves based on Rank. The highest level was allowed to have 9 yards of fabric. Hence the statement "The Whole Nine Yard"
"The Whole 9 Yards" refers to the lenght of a belt of machine gun rounds in an combat aircraft in WWII. the original phase was "Give Them The Whole 9 Yards".
@@mikefranklin1253 It may have been used for that but the Phrase goes back to I believe it was Henry VIII or Elizabeth Gloriana. which greatly proceeds the machine gun belt.
And I thought the whole nine yards regarded kilts. Because there is a lot of fabric in a kilt. Although I've made many gowns that required nine yards of fabric. If you get caught in the rain in one of these garments you stand a chance of getting seriously weighted down

The Edict of Expulsion was a royal decree issued by King Edward I of England on 18 July 1290 expelling all Jews from the Kingdom of England. Edward advised the sheriffs of all counties he wanted all Jews expelled by no later than All Saints' Day (1 November).
Happened is Spain too. Alhambra Decree forced the Jews out. Many sought sanctuary in Portugual. Then they were kicked out again. That's how my family ended up with both Spanish and Portuguese blood and in the US and Mexico.

3:20 I imagine that a teenage boy was the first person to ride a horse. It probably happened because the boys had a contest where they would jump onto the horse's back and hang on as long as possible. Eventually a boy would manage to hold on long enough that the horse would stop bucking and allow the boy to ride it. The first horse race very likely took place not long after the second person to ride a horse managed to hang on long enough that the horse stopped bucking. After all, that boy had only managed to equal his friend's accomplishment. The next logical step would be who could make their horse run faster.
Maybe cover strange punishments next? I seem to remember there were all sorts of strange medieval death machines for the purpose, from stretching racks to head-crushing vices, or just putting someone in a cage in a public place and waiting until they're a skeleton.
@@carmenmartinez2882 Yes, but I'm sure there are plenty of more family-friendly examples too. Those were just the ones that came to mind first- they also had a variety of punishment methods that just amounted to "you stay in this place today", like the stocks, or the Cucking Stool, which is actually shown in this video when they discuss trial by ordeals. A Cucking Stool consists of a chair suspended above a river, serving the sole purpose of dunking annoying people in the water.

I'd like to a video on how people in the past hydrated. Anywhere I go I always bring my water bottle. They didn't have that luxury. How did they hydrate on long trips?
If a waterway wasn't in a city, it was okay to drink. In Nordic countries most places the water in streams is okay to drink. I drink stream water when I go camping in Sweden.
Always been curious about this. Did people drink beer/mead and be drunk 24/7? Did people drink whatever water was available & it was just a part of life that sometimes the water kills you?
@@cattibingo no actually! The beer was such a low alcohol content that it couldn't get you drunk. Was mostly to sterilize it because otherwise, yes the water would just kill you. If you remember John snow discovering that cholera outbreaks was because of the poop water mixing with the drinking water. Before that they thought sickness happened because of bad air so dying from contaminated water just... Happened!
Beer and Wine were expensive because they were the best way to ensure safety when any water source might be your last. This fact can’t be understated. “Water to wine” has more meaning than people think.
As an amateur brewer: I think it would have been hard to get the resources to brew that much beer or mead for all ones water needs. For 10 liters of mead it takes about 3 litres of honey to make a 10-12% mead. Malting grain for brewing requires a warm room for sprouting the grains.
Some of the ordeal trials were fixed so the accused would survive. Usually in cases where it was obvious that the person was innocent. The church knew it was a load of crap, but they had to keep the fear in people.
you want roads, you pay taxes. just make them fair, buddy....that is the focus. why keep the corruption? you people always insist on throwing out the baby.....and keeping the filthy bathwater. going to turn us into China through deregulation. end the corruption....not the protections! you people think taking the chains off a werewolf will keep us all safe.

What about laws where Muslims lived such as Turkey? Some of those countries today have very harsh punishments such as cutting off a person's hand if caught stealing.
Uhm, those laws are STILL in place, it's called Sharia or religious law. It also applies to anyone who isn't Muslim, as they can't erect new places of worship, rep[air them, and must pay a gigantic tax called the jizya (a tax so high that the Ottoman Empire govt was fully supported by this tax). Sharia law is the goal of all Islam, feel free to ask a Muslim. Know however that Islam actually promotes lying, so you may have to check online sources.

Crazy thing is I would’ve died during the Middle Ages I had diabetes so I would’ve died due to lack of medicine and plus my mom would’ve died because I was 8 days late being born
One thing to take note on the subject of Sumptuary Laws and their increasing prevalence during the Late Middle Ages, is that these weren't targeted towards the poor, and it's kind of a misnomer to frame it that way. Rather, this was an attempt at curbing societal influence of the growing bourgeoisie class. As Europe progressed towards the early Modern Period, expansion of trade routes, government centralization, and a upper class eager for goods from abroad, created a growing mercantile class whose fortunes were swiftly beginning to rival the nobility. The upper classes were terrified at the prospect of being being supplanted.
Henry the 8th didn’t gain weight until coming down with scurvy. He was also good at the precursor of ballet. All with the size of a modern NFL linebacker.
@@cleocatra9324 the fashion of the time was eating lots of meat and no fruits or vegetables. Fresh fruit and or vegetables are necessary to prevent scurvy. An Apple a day would of cured him.

I don’t know what it was but when you started talking about the pointy shoes I had a revelation. Just seems so silly and foreign to me as a man in 2023 how they could like that. But I understand fashion is always changing and that was it back then. Maybe it was the music… idk mind was blown though that’s for sure.
Speaking of which you got a source for the track starting around 6:15? 🔥
The Irony of being allowed to put a realistic marbel p*n*s in a youtube video about history, but abstractly drawn breast? HELL NO, YT doesn’t allow that
Legend has it that Henry VIII was playing tennis as Anne Boleyn was being executed.
Illegal to blow your nose………or have a fever……..🤔
Oh look. It's Bruegel!!
Been to Tennessee many times and did not _see_ anyone playing tennis even once.
Did you see anyone exercising?
TN state is one of those poor and backward southern states.
Crazy thing is I would’ve died during the Middle Ages I had diabetes so I would’ve died due to lack of medicine and plus my mom would’ve died because I was 8 days late being born
So if your bday was 9 months after a forbidden period you’d know you were a forbidden baby 😂
One thing to take note on the subject of Sumptuary Laws and their increasing prevalence during the Late Middle Ages, is that these weren't targeted towards the poor, and it's kind of a misnomer to frame it that way. Rather, this was an attempt at curbing societal influence of the growing bourgeoisie class. As Europe progressed towards the early Modern Period, expansion of trade routes, government centralization, and a upper class eager for goods from abroad, created a growing mercantile class whose fortunes were swiftly beginning to rival the nobility. The upper classes were terrified at the prospect of being being supplanted.
Who was running around enforcing these laws? With what? A ticket!?
New name for the Middle Ages after watching this video: The Lawfully Dark Ages.
It was the British who coined the word "Soccer", not the Americans.
Henry the 8th didn’t gain weight until coming down with scurvy. He was also good at the precursor of ballet. All with the size of a modern NFL linebacker.
How did he get scurvy??
@@cleocatra9324 the fashion of the time was eating lots of meat and no fruits or vegetables. Fresh fruit and or vegetables are necessary to prevent scurvy. An Apple a day would of cured him.
@@tyrport I forgot that they thought veggies and fruits were peasant food.
Recently a college student got scurvy because all he ate were ramen noodles and oatmeal… sigh.
Wearing long shoes was considered “drip” back then, I suppose 😂 medieval yeezys
Might explain the myth of large feet equals a large member
Not much has changed with the boat sized Jordans people lose their shit over
My husband's company he worked for in the early 1980's still had a rule that guys wanting to get married had to ask the boss for permission to get married. The idea was more that the young man had to satisfy the boss that he was able to financially provide for his bride.
I enjoy the facts presented by this channel. The jokes, however, are weak in a daytime television sort of way. And the “so, what do you think” at the end of each and every one is always a resounding eye-roll.
I guess that’s what I think 😊
There's still laws on the books that are stupid. In this state, it's illegal to take a bath with a donkey 😅😅😅😂
You have to wonder about the IQ of the people who make those laws.
@@ankhpom9296 Or, what people were doing that the laws had to be made in the first place. 🤔
I'd like to hear ab how often innocent people are incarcerated due to bad evidence, futile police work, forced confessions, coercion, lies, false allegations etc. I did 9 yrs over some absolute bull so, there's a legal topic for you 👍
