I actually saw the entire first episode of The Unholy Frederick II and already I can see some mistakes at play, when you mentioned Frederick II's father had captured Richard the Lionheart one thing you said was after the "2nd" crusade which is completely wrong because following the Saladin and the 3rd crusade that's where Richard was involved in and when showing Frederick II eating Otto's banquet meals you accidentally had Otto's name replaced with "FII" as watching that shifting moment from Otto's shocked face to Frederick's eating of his banquet meal. So either this will be known in Lies or fixed when the UA-cam video of it comes out.
I kinda like it: it's sometimes important to have a realignment of culture so people don't go too far into vulgarity. Like, imagine a modern day version where we burned CP or something.
Because they used religions anti-culture, but they are obsessed with power on world as he want dystopia world. Now they are died as world hate them and culture hate them too. However, future still worried as maybe new dictatorship or something horrible for destroyed culture again as repeat past.
Honestly, my favorite part of your videos are the horses. Their so derpy and cute it's amazing. Oh, and good work on pointing out that it's pretty hard to say The Mad Monk was doing it out of religious zeal when the moment Florence was without a leader, he took political power instead of continuing to worship god.
I played the Ezio Collection and never realized Bonfire of Vanities was an AC II dlc 😅 Joke aside this event taught us that our freedom come for our ability to think by ourselve and not just following other peoples' vision .
@@jayasuryangoral-maanyan3901 Karl Popper does say we should do this. That's the whole point of the paradox of tolerance. A tolerant society *must* intolerate intolerance.

Savanarola: "The Church is vain, greedy and corrupt! This sin must be purged from the church!" Puritans: "Hey, I've seen this one. This one's a classic."
"We don't need anyone to tell us what to do; not Savonarola, not the Medici. We are free to follow our own path. There are those who will take that freedom from us, and too many of you gladly give it. But it is our ability to choose--whatever you think is true--that makes us human... There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the path. Choose your own way! Do not follow me, or anyone else."
You can not make your own reality, one needs to be part of society and stand on the shoulders of those before us. You don't make answers, you discover them, and teachers and books help. As do videos such as this.
Every time I watch or listen to an Extra History video from before 1900, I am astounded by how often executions and capital punishment just used to be... a thing. Just a normal thing that you did to people you disagreed with. I can't imagine living in a world where death was the punishment for being on the wrong side of history. (I am aware as an American that we still have capital punishment, but even the majority of Death Row inmates are never executed and hopefully it will be abolished with time)
Non peaceful death and injury were in general lurking much closer to the people who lived in those times. Which can be what shaped the general acceptance of those things as justified consequence of many transgressions, or just bad luck and losing in certain endeavours. If half your children were likely to not see their adulthood, why would you care that your rulers murdered one another in their squabbles for power?
@@fillosof66689 that's the thing, rulers were also murdering innocent bystanders all the time. The whole point of the inquisition is that Catholic leaders were torturing false confessions out of Jews and Muslim, even some early Protestants, and killing them based on those confessions or even just the testimony of their neighbors
anybody here saw the once upon a time... man leonardo da vinci episode where they mention that leonardo made a drawing of one of the hang mans from this Conspiracy
I know Assassins Creed is largely fictional but I am seeing any characters that occurred in Assassins Creed 2. Mainly how the religious leaders had much sway over the people.
How funny that only in this episode I've seen you representing a tower of irony during tbe naration, because history is just FILLED with irony and so many of your previous episodes have examples of it
Be a strict religious figure in Medieval ages, without sounding like Ruhollah Khomeini, and without appearing like the Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars: Impossible challenge.
It does feel a bit like one of the revolutions from later years except that the revolutionary is also religious(instead of a cult of the divine being or "religion is the opiate of the people".
Those who burn books, burn people. Admittedly, sometimes it's themselves after a rival challenges them to jump in a fire, but then an underling who offered to do it in their stead argued with the challenger for so long that God got bored and rained on the flames, prompting the crowd to get angry, the book burners get arrested, and then burned as punishment. But that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.
"...and it is this conscience that guides us to rate EC-10, for emotional content, all those things that might tempt us to feel, again, and destroy them" Padre
now you see, *I* would have interpreted the rain as God telling them "please don't set yourselves on fire or throw yourselves into a literal pyre. Neither of you can perform miracles They have to come from me. Both of you are blaspheming. Let it go""
Part of me want to compare how Martin Luther (the preacher and protestant founder) managed to gain appeal compared to Savonarola aside from not being as hardline in morality (even winning Secular appeal like lack of celibacy for clergy and local languages for mass appeal), and being in Germany (so too distant for Papal authority and creating proper local base) despite him forming his own religious movement along with John Calvin.
Watch episode 1 of the Unholy Roman Emperor Frederick II right now on Nebula! go.nebula.tv/extrahistory
Thanks for Watching!
Looking forward to it on YT! Love your content guys! You're the Best ❤❤❤❤❤
As always, wonderful video, but the opening of this video hurts my soul....all that pretty art lost to flames. Noooo....😔
That cover picture is fire 🔥🔥🔥
Can you do 'The Book of the Dun Cow'?

The bonfire of the vanities always upsets me. Imagine all the art that would still be with us to this day if it all wasn’t burnt in flames.
I kinda like it: it's sometimes important to have a realignment of culture so people don't go too far into vulgarity. Like, imagine a modern day version where we burned CP or something.
@@King_Nex CP?
@@King_Nex I'm guessing most of the stuff they burned had nothing to do with CP
@smithblack5945 I'm saying a modern day version of the bonfire would since we wouldn't tolerate it much as those people weren't tolerating naked art.
enjoy the art we have now, nothing is exempt from destruction, everything is fleeting and temporary
Super excited for Frederick "stop forcing me to be competent, I just wanna compose poetry and go hawking in Sicily" II, Holy Roman Emperor.
Man, don't we all...
The Mad Monk of Florence title sounds like some crazed super villain 😂😂😂
He was the main villain in a Assassins Creed 2 DLC
Wasn't he?
presumably no relation to a certain other Mad Monk from a few centuries later ;)
Gonna add, mad monk of Florence sounds like a metal band name.
When people start burning art, you know they're the Bad Guys.
Or books
@@barbiquearea Books are art too.
Funny how it keeps happening😒. Ever notice nobody does anything about until they start burning people🤔?
0:09
NOOOOO HOW COULD THEY?!! THAT ZOEY PAINTING IS A PRICELESS ANTIQUE!!!!
Because they used religions anti-culture, but they are obsessed with power on world as he want dystopia world.

@@ArkadiBolschekit’s not 1198 anymore gramps
8:55 ah yes the best way to handle a trial by fire, argue until god decides you’re both too chicken and just douses the fire so you will leave
So true fr
The Assassin's Creed 2 DLC for this went hard and I'm tired of pretending it didn't
That speech at the end still brings me to tears
Honestly, my favorite part of your videos are the horses. Their so derpy and cute it's amazing. Oh, and good work on pointing out that it's pretty hard to say The Mad Monk was doing it out of religious zeal when the moment Florence was without a leader, he took political power instead of continuing to worship god.
The shadows are amazing, though. There's some Mike Mignola-ish coloring up there and I absolutely love it.
He proved that he was less devoted to God and more devoted to his own ideals.
@MorgottofLeyendell Most super religious people just use god as a way to justify their own thoughts.
I played the Ezio Collection and never realized Bonfire of Vanities was an AC II dlc 😅

3:59 ahh. The paradox of tolerance in action. A lesson that we still have to learn
Lorenzo couldn't do much about it, anyway. If he eliminated or exiled Savonarola, the monk could have become a martyr.
Within a few years the public got sick of his nonsense
eh in this case it was lose-lose
Savanarola: "The Church is vain, greedy and corrupt! This sin must be purged from the church!"
Puritans: "Hey, I've seen this one. This one's a classic."
It was more likely the other way around, Savanarola influenced the Protestant Revolution
@@angusyang5917 Yep, and the Puritans are mostly known from the 1600's, long after the Protestant Reformation happened.
2:29 The baby wearing a mask too is so cute and wholesome (in a way).
History doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes -Mark Twain
I've heard that said many times, but I have never seen anyone claim it was said by Mark Twain before.

Fun: *exists*
Savonarola: “And I took that personally.”
Okay, usually these memes annoy me, but this one was hilarious.
In fairness, I can't fault the guys who stepped up for the trial by fire and asking 'Okay, how do we do this?'

I feel like this is the sign that we will soon have a series on the Borgia.
If you haven't seen it, Overly Sarcastic Productions has a series called "Pope Fights" you might be interested in.
I love that you guys are doing videos on the Renaissance! I would love to see a video solely focused on carnival and masqurade balls!
This was an absolutely amazing video Extra History!
Please do the 1821 Greek Revolutionary War against the Ottoman Empire next! I've been asking for this since the first episodes of the Sengoku Jidai!
do a series on the fourth crusade and restoration
There is a marking on the floor in Piazza della Signoria in Florence where Savonarola was burned.
I just read about this incident in a historical fiction novel! Florentine history is fascinating.
8:43 I love Extra History's depiction of God, just an ancient entity gaming
This series is almost like a video game plot.
CONTINUES TO PLAY A GAME WITH A HOODED MAN
anybody here saw the once upon a time... man leonardo da vinci episode where they mention that leonardo made a drawing of one of the hang mans from this Conspiracy
One of the earlier videos in this series covered that.
@@tulliusexmisc2191 i meant french animated history series
The mad monk of florence is the most iconic title ever.
The Borgias with Jeremy Irons has a few episodes shere Savanorola plays an important role and it is well worth the watch.
The timing is devilish with this episode... 🔥🔥🔥
Ironically I was wondering if any new Extra History videos had come out… only to refresh my page and see this at the top!
😂
Please do a series on Alexander VI or his son Cesare Borgia!
9:28 the only interpretation around was: yo i was promised some entertainment and the rain killed it now we killin u
You guys always make saturdays awesome! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤
Aleays
Mad monk of Florence sounds like either A a goosebumps book or B a episode of Scooby doo
Or C like Ivan The Terrible took a vacation to Italy.
Or a doctor who episode

Ah yes, one of history's major "no fun allowed" chapters. Always hate these killjoys.
I hate how we're about to enter another one of those chapters, again.
@@Toonrick12 Not how I'd describe the impending United States of Hell.
And the majority never learn not to give power to the “no fun allowed” High Sparrow types.
At least that chapter had a happy ending.

Matt: *Breaks the 4th Wall*
Both combatants: -.- really?
Matt: ^.^ Sorry, couldn't resist!
10:14 To quote Randy Feltface: *Karma*
Love your content guys! You're the Best 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Classic story of empowering an enemy because they hate someone else more only to have them eventually turn on you. Classic!
Can you guys do a full series on the Napoleonic Wars? That would be great!
I think it would be a great idea to do a series on the Reformation both the Protestant and Counter-Reformation
Awesome job guys!
6:36 I see that the Ayatollahs didn't invent anything new...
I’ve been waiting for this one🤫🧏♂️
Thhis is such a great episode.
I've watched The Getaway!
I think I'll go watch it again. I loved that show.
3:50 This reminds me of Germany sending Lenin to Russia during WW1, which in the long run burned Germany down with Russia.
Great video!
Great video.
I look forward to these episodes like little treats for surviving The Intervals
7:56 So burning man has been around a lot longer than we thought huh?
I'm guessing Savonarola is who GRRM based the High Sparrow in ASOIF/GoT on.
This is the unknown inspiration behind the novel, and the TV show the handmaid's tale.
0:09 Zoey no 😭
It does feel a bit like one of the revolutions from later years except that the revolutionary is also religious(instead of a cult of the divine being or "religion is the opiate of the people".
Savonarola sounds like he stirred up dissent against the current order just for power. RIse to power on a bonfire, die on a bonfire sounds poetic.
I literally just finished the rest of this series!

who guys should to a series on the red baron
"Hm, we're doing an episode with a lot of fire... Is David available?"
WONDERFULLLLL🎉
Anyone else see the Walpole lookalike around the 8:30 mark?
"...and it is this conscience that guides us to rate EC-10, for emotional content, all those things that might tempt us to feel, again, and destroy them"
Padre
I AINT INSANE, I SAW THE ROMAN EPISODE UP TODAY EARLIER I SAID “well I’ll see it later!” AND NOW IT’S GONE AND THIS IS HERE!
bro imagine being named "The Unfortunate"
45 seconds in. never been this early
So basically Renaissance Afghanistan?
"Choose your own way. Don't follow me or anyone else" still it’s hard.
Not the cat painting
Burning art certain people don't like seems to be a disturbingly common practice
An episode on the Yoruba warring era would be nice
So are you going to cover the Borgia next? And the Ottoman civil war?
Religious Zealotry, not even once.
now you see, *I* would have interpreted the rain as God telling them "please don't set yourselves on fire or throw yourselves into a literal pyre. Neither of you can perform miracles They have to come from me. Both of you are blaspheming. Let it go""
0:02 immediate Brotherhood back flashes.
Was that theme in the beginning from Actraiser or something? It sounded very familiar.
Extra Sci Art! YEEESSSSS
Imagine if they had today's fireproof stunt clothes
"Vanities of vanities, all is vanity!"
Bro was openly wearing Sith robes talking about “righteousness”
I hope Ho Chi Min gets a chapter in the future
Do a video on the California fires
It all went up in flames 😅
Is it wrong to think there are some parallels between this and the day disco died at that baseball game in Detroit?
Somebody summon Ezio!
all of these names and titles sound like a whole d&d campaign
You should cover the indo-chinese war of 1962
Nice
Yeah he went mad with power even though he did some good. God definitely did the right thing here. 9:37
4:46 because the north is the way to get to italy
10:30 Freddie! Nothing like a triple excumunicant and antichrist to make a series good!
