@@Bystander232Theres also another theory that a lot of the witch hunts happened because the shortages of food, which led to villages killing off eldery/mentally ill women to conserve food for the village.

@@nathanseper8738 Indeed. All just because we have conflicting ideas about what is and isn't "normal" enough. Personally, if you want to know my definition of "normal," go ahead and view my series on the Salem Witch Trials.
But they should still have said Denmark instead of Norway, right? Since Norway was part of the kingdom of Denmark at the time. OR maybe it was only norway that was effected. But that seem unlikely.
It’s weird to me that we were never told that the little ice age partially caused the starving times. Like we learned about it but we were taught it was because of conflict with the natives and the fact that the colonists sucked at farming.
because it might make people think that climate change is a natural thing happens to our planet, and might be a contradiction to the new climate alarmist dogma
I have a master's degree in medieval history and did a fair amount of coursework around the early modern period as well. It's fascinating to hear about so many of the events I knew about already, and then connect them to this climactic cooling event. Truly, a framework I hadn't even considered before!
It should be noted that the Malleus Maleficarum was originally not taken very seriously by church authorities. It picked up among preachers, and only later was closely examied and followed by higher churchmen.
One of the strangest weather events I've ever experienced happened during the winter of either 1990 or '91 (it's been a while). I was living in southern Illinois and the area had been covered in snow. However, for a brief period, the days got extremely warm which quickly melted the snow and even allowed precipitation to fall as rain instead of snow. But then the extremely cold nights came which basically flash-froze the melting waters on the ground. The result was the ground becoming completely covered in ice. So much so that I was able to ice-skate over what would normally be grass or sidewalk, and even the asphalt paved roads. It was nearly impossible to walk anywhere, in normal footwear, without (almost) instantly slipping on the ice that covered and made slick every type of ground surface.
Excellent work bringing up the witch hunt instruction manuals (Daemonologie and Malleus Maleficarum). Would have liked to have had more of an emphasis on how the Little Ice Age had a role in Salem, though.
@@ethancheung2696 My point exactly. They could have mentioned how you could be accused of witchcraft over things we see as commonplace, like physical imperfections (warts/moles/birthmarks) or having a pet hanging around the house (Here, kitty-kitty! 🐈⬛ ). If you're interested, I have a two-part series of Salem on my channel.
The ergot and rye rot was likely a big part of it, caused by unusual cold that killed the other crops, and persistent rain that drowned the rye and caused fungus on the seed, but without other crops, people ate the fungus infested rye...
@@littlekong7685 After looking at several sources, the ergot theory doesn't quite hold up for me. Why? Instead of a small group of "afflicted girls," the whole region would be crawling with hallucinating people because the whole supply of bread would be contaminated with the fungus. Not going to deny that climate change had a role, but there are other things to consider: family feuds, wars with Native Americans and French settlers, an us-vs-them mentality, tension between the haves and have-nots, a rigid social hierarchy with no breathing room to it, religious fanaticism, and a failed merchant-turned-minister (Samuel Parris) dishing out fire-and-brimstone sermons at the pulpit and talking about Satan and his imps at the dinner table nonstop.
Something to note about the weather affecting the French Revolution: you mention Mt. Tambora in 1815 as exacerbating the weather in that time, but in 1783 the Laki fissure opened up on Iceland and the volcano Grimsvötn, ostensible part of the same system, began erupting. And erupting. And erupting. This went on for eight months, and Grimsvötn erupted until 1785. On top of that, there was another volcano, Mt. Asama, that was erupting at the exact same time in Japan. The Laki eruption is of particular note because it put a huge amount of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere, and a high pressure system that parked itself over Iceland caused winds to blow southeast. The huge cloud of poisonous gas was killing people as far away as Prague. And of course, these eruptions affected the weather, too. Famines, hail, flood, terrific snowstorms, storms at sea that caused several senators to be delayed for the signing if the Treaty of Paris, all of that resulted from Laki, Grimsvötn, and Asama. And then, an extremely strong El Niño started in 1789, just in time to make all of this even worse in France. Just some information that you can perhaps include in your Lies episode.
I think this episode might win the award with the most intersections with other EH series. Any I'm missing? - Viking Expansion/Greenland - Thirty Years' War/Famine - History of Paper Money/Nicholas Unless-Jesus-Christ-Had-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barbone - Ankor Wat/Decline If you ever wanted another Lies segment like Walpole or Ibn Battuta Sidequest...

@@timothyheimbach3260Yep, contrary to popular belief, witch hunting was generally condemned by the Catholic Church as well as the Church of England which is why most witch hunts happened Protestant areas of Europe with English witch hunts happening also exclusively in Puritan areas in England. Disagreements between Purtians and the Church if England such as this caused the Puritans to flee England, starting American colonises.
@@M.E.ANDHistory You mean the Puritan majority colonies? Them being religious extremists is the whole reason they left England for America in the first place.
My print of "London at the time of the Great Frost" by Griffier is to my right as I'm watching this - which does a great job of showing the very relatable hi-jinks of Londoners and their antics on the ice!
A correction? Tambora is around 3000 km (1900 miles) from the Western part of Sumatra, maybe you have accidentally added a 0. For comparison, Earth's circumference is 40000 km, some 25000 miles, and Tambora is next to the Eastern part of Sumatra.
7:57 I'm pretty sure Sumatra is less than 16000 miles from Mount Tambora. Maybe it's supposed to be 1600? (coming to think about it, Earth has a circumference of about 25000 miles so no two places on Earth are more than 12500 miles from each other)
I'd like to propose an idea gor a video / series . When talking about Greece , people mention the ancient times and overlook the Greek Revolution of 1821 , which had not to do with society and royalty but with national identity , religion and freedom of Greece , which were suppressed by the Ottomans .
There is documentation that indicates there were thousands of people burned as witches for "altering the weather" in Germany during this time. This includes the Bamburg Witch trial were at least a thousand people were executed.
Am enjoying this series a lot so far. The first episode works into the Norman conquest of Ireland and potentially answers a reoccurring question with me of how and why the English Crown lost control of the island except for around the English Pale (region around Dublin) until the Tudor invasions and plantations (colonisation). These latter events, the Irish Wars, Williamite War and finally the 1690 Battle of the Boyne and its consequences (the Penal laws) are "covered " in this episode. Looking forward to a new perspective on latter Irish history through this series.
In Swedish, people often say "eighteen-hundred-froze-to-death" ("artonhundrafrösihjäl") to signify any year in a distant past, often not realizing it's a reference to 1816 specifically.
I want you to know that your series has impacted how I was writing a fairytale retelling to specifically include the weather changes of the Little Ice Age. This is an excellent and interesting series! But I'm curious- before the late 1400's, they just blamed kings for God's wrath, then switched to witches?
Nitpick: Nurhaci was the founder of what would become the Qing dynasty, but it was under his sons Hong Taiji and Dorgon, his grandson Shunzhi, and great-grandson Kangxi under whom the Ming dynasty was conquered, toppled, and finished off
There is a famously fun thing about winters in the low countries: the laws of the land did not govern the water. So when the waters froze over (rivers, lakes, etc.) people took to ice skating and making merry on the ice. The key take way here was that while on the land class and station mattered, on the ice, it didn't exist. so it was the one place where the aristocrats and commoners, rich and poor could meet and at times even cavort without the church having any say in the matter. This, in part, is why ice skating is such a big deal in The Netherlands.
Tangentially related: one of the European countries that had the lowest levels of executions due to accusations of witchcraft was Spain. This is due to the Spanish Inquisition opposing it.
Because for a long time, the Spanish Inquisition (and most of the Catholic Church from what I know) was of the opinion that "believing in witches" was a form of _heresy,_ (by saying that somebody not granted powers by God was capable of doing supernatural things) and you know what the Inquisition did to heretics! @@The360MlgNoscoper Apparently getting the Inquisition involved was one of the best ways to escape witch trials, if it was an option available to you.

Really REALLY hope you all will talk about the author of the hammer of witches and how crazy & hateful he was towards women. Even at the time people knew it was dangerous & would get innocent people hurt. OSP did a video about it, would love to hear your thoughts.
On the little ice age in other regions outside the Atlantic i'd love you to do a series on the fall of the Ming dynasty. Their fall sounds genuinely apologetic
6:42 This dude (Pieter Bruegel) is also super famous in my field of History of Games because he deppicted one of the most rich paintinggs about children's games in his time.
16,000 miles away in Sumatra? I know that Indonesia is rather sprawling, but I just can't seem to find any maps showing that it stretches more than halfway around the globe.
Historical records and novels about medieval Poland always mention incredibly cold and snowy winters, with people traveling on sleds across frozen rivers, villages snowed in and packs of wolves hunting livestock. Until I learned about the little ice age, I always wondered why winters I knew were not like that at all!
Not actually a mistake, as Norway was a part of Denmark at the time, but it is a bit confusing to show the Danish flag at 2:45 while talking about famines in Norway
Please do the Greek war of independence of 1821 against the ottoman empire next I've been asking for this since the first episodes of the sengoku Jidai!
In my home country Sweden back in 1660s was witch Hunt that still talk about in history and one of things was that children use to blame their mothers for being witches
2:46 I saw what you did there. It's a bit confusing to say Norway and then show the Danish flag, even though Norway was Denmark at the specific time period you are talking about. I just wonder if there would have been a better representation as I was genuinely confused till I figured why you did as you did
As much as my Danish heart likes to think that Norway is a part of the kingdom again, the flag that you showed at 2:45 as Norway is the Danish flag, also called 'Dannebrog'. While Norway was a part of the Kingdom of Denmark for many centuries, and their flag is inspired by the Danish flag, I think it might be confusing to use the Dannebrog when you mention Norway.
Well its a political flag, not a geographic one. All the other flags are also political flags, so it wouldn't make sense to use a geographic flag just for Norway, so a danish flag is more representative of the time, while still fitting the same flag category
@@jodinha4225 That is true and I don't disagree that they needed to use the Danish flag in order to fit in with the other flags categorically. But I still think that it might seem a little confusing to some that they chose to use these flags in the first place. With many other places in the world, I could probably understand this use of flags a bit better but with borders in Scandinavia having barely changed over the past 500 years, I feel that it might be a little weird to resort to political flags from this time instead of geographic ones. Especially when one of those flags was and still is the political and geographic flag of another country.
there was a history channel documentary (back when they did, you know, history) called Little Ice Age, Big Chill; covered this nicely. I can't find it online tho.

Until I learned about the little ice age, I always wondered why winters I knew were not like that at all!
I haven’t watched extra history in a long time so I’m so I’m binging a bunch of videos this is video 4
I like how much this series will cover.
Not actually a mistake, as Norway was a part of Denmark at the time, but it is a bit confusing to show the Danish flag at 2:45 while talking about famines in Norway
Please do the Greek war of independence of 1821 against the ottoman empire next
I've been asking for this since the first episodes of the sengoku Jidai!
No way Sumatra is 16000 miles away from Indonesia. Maybe an extra zero there?
Another unique take on the witch hunt
I love these naval openings.
And the Frost Fair episode of Doctor Who was fire!
Ohhhh such a good one!
In my home country Sweden back in 1660s was witch Hunt that still talk about in history and one of things was that children use to blame their mothers for being witches
Where's all my fellow Salem descendants (my ancestress was jailed, but lucky enough to survive till the governor's amnesty)
7:55 are you sure you mean 16 000 miles and not 1600 miles?
"The year without a summer"
Sounds wonderfull for me who hates warm weather 😂
War of the roses would be a good series
2:46 I saw what you did there.
It's a bit confusing to say Norway and then show the Danish flag, even though Norway was Denmark at the specific time period you are talking about.
I just wonder if there would have been a better representation as I was genuinely confused till I figured why you did as you did
i love this channel
Never has before the song _'Little Dark Age'_ fitted an historical context more.
I didn't seriously even know that the climate was sometime so warm that wine in England was a thing.
Well you learn something new everyday! 😂
When the bread price goes up, you can always eat cake
what fascinating history that is never discussed
Can you do a video on Queen Hatshepsut?
beautifull. thanks
As much as my Danish heart likes to think that Norway is a part of the kingdom again, the flag that you showed at 2:45 as Norway is the Danish flag, also called 'Dannebrog'. While Norway was a part of the Kingdom of Denmark for many centuries, and their flag is inspired by the Danish flag, I think it might be confusing to use the Dannebrog when you mention Norway.
Well its a political flag, not a geographic one. All the other flags are also political flags, so it wouldn't make sense to use a geographic flag just for Norway, so a danish flag is more representative of the time, while still fitting the same flag category
@@jodinha4225 That is true and I don't disagree that they needed to use the Danish flag in order to fit in with the other flags categorically. But I still think that it might seem a little confusing to some that they chose to use these flags in the first place. With many other places in the world, I could probably understand this use of flags a bit better but with borders in Scandinavia having barely changed over the past 500 years, I feel that it might be a little weird to resort to political flags from this time instead of geographic ones. Especially when one of those flags was and still is the political and geographic flag of another country.
I wonder, will you include what was created during that year with summer. Stuck with bad weather, people will get bored and at times creative.
Me watching about the little dark age while my south american ass is melting in the heat wave
2:47 why the the flag of Norway is the Danish flag is because at the time Denmark was ruling over Norway
there was a history channel documentary (back when they did, you know, history) called Little Ice Age, Big Chill; covered this nicely. I can't find it online tho.
8:18 So, what you're saying is that floating islands actually exist.
Is it the prelude for Frostpunk ?

Me: *eye twitches in 40k*
2:45 Denmark-Norway* even showing the danish falg
