I have good news and bad news : the good news is that this concept never changed. The bad news is that we just lie about it nowadays. But people are still keeping receipts, my love.
Honestly. I don't want to blame individuals for this, as it's an overall social trend, but people don't seem to have any pride or sense of shame anymore.
I am an old geezer and I remember back in the day we, as kids, were sent to classes at the Officer’s Club to learn dancing (which I hated) and basic etiquette. Because, god knows, there’s nothing more insufferable than a middle-class snob. My mom and grandmother were something of a walking encyclopedia regarding those rules they were taught as children. I haven’t been to a dinner party in decades where a fish course, you know with its own knife and fork, was served. Some of these rules of etiquette had really practical (for the time) reasons but others left me gobsmacked. I remember one rule my grandmother followed which involved not wearing platinum jewelry before 5pm. WTF?!
I'm going to guess that platinum, being more expensive was considered "flashier" than gold. I'm a Boomer so might be wrong, but even today a woman doesn't wear showy, obvious jewellry during the day. EG the only time you see a royal in a tiara in the daytime, they're getting married, and even the Queen used to just wear a brooch and occasionally a one strand necklace for most daytime events.
Was that the officers club in Cuba along with Col. Jessop (apparently bad manners were code redded) Or the country club Cameron talks about to Edward (apparently waltzing in and out is banned)
Personally I find him a bit over the top. Many things taken out of context. The humour is a little dated and reminds me of some old guy trying to be cool.

1) Please make a video about Emma Goldman! 2) I am half Swedish half Tunisian. In Tunisia usually after shaking ones hand; men put their hand against their chest/heart and women kiss their own hand as a sign of appreciation for the person they just shook hands with. 3) If you do go back to the Elizabethan era do not bring with you the Joe Cocker song "You can leave your hat on".
Hey, for all her faults, Elizabeth was the one to put a legal end to Surfdom. So she wasn’t all bad. Even this high brow lady saw that it was absolute nonsense.
Not exactly the way it happened. In England, the end of serfdom began with the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. It had largely died out in England by 1500 as a personal status and was fully ended when Elizabeth I freed the last remaining serfs in 1574. 👍
I don't understand why they keep using pictures from entirely different eras. I understand that stock pictures are limited but this is how misinformation starts.
You answered your own question. Very few stock images so unless you want to watch the same 3 pictures the whole time, then just sit back and listen. Don't be a negative Nelly. Pretty sure we can all figure out obvious victorian drawrings are victorian. Or medieval, let me add that before I get beaten with the pedantial stick.
Even in the US Army today when walking with someone of senior rank, the junior should be to the senior's left and slightly behind. The Army claims it's from when we wore swords so the senior could draw and fight if need be. I've personally always felt it was a hold over from days of old when the so-called masses stayed to the left of royalty and nobility.
Very detailed and interesting thanks for the upload. Also very interested in court etiquette from different European courts if you'd make a few would be so appreciated 🙂
Pshaw. Louis the 14 th had more rules and just as nutters. But it kept his enemies close and he could control the state that way I adore weird history and always learn something new though. Thank you!
@@jeanneann3545 Well mostly how to prepare a table. What to do with your hands on a table. No elbows on the table. Which fork and spoon to use. How to use it properly. The book on top of your head. So how to properly walk. More modern etiquette. What not to say at the dinner table and a bit of cooking.
@@jazcc please, do me a favor ans tell me about the book on top of the head thingy! did you have a hard time? I obsolutely hate getting forced to follow etiquette, but it does fascinate me!
@@jazcc i dont know why, but that sounds so cool. you have no idea how some people basically make earthquake when they walk, and its unrelated to their weight. i feel like that lesson should be helpful for some people hahaha
Probably not a ton to write home about considering the limitations of travel the further back in time you go. And it would get people cranky to be honest
There isn't much to talk about, they all can be resumed to: it was considered weird at the time and everybody complained but the couple remained together anyway
@@noneyabizz8337 I thought those are still in force? I got reprimanded y my mother for acting like a pig in the dinner table, and that was nearly 15 years ago...
my step grandmother used to slap our elbows and if we used a fork in "the wrong hand" she also slapped our hands and took our meals away she was horrible if I'm honest she really thought she was upper class living in a council house
@Miss Steak my best friend growing up told me stories of her grandmother stabbing their elbows with a fork if the kids had their elbows on the table. 😳
Lord almighty I would’ve been kicked out so fast. Elbows on the tables, scratching yourself, blowing on your food… not to mention I definitely would forget to take my hat off more than once 😅
Given that the main purpose of etiquette, as I understand it, is to ensure that everyone knows what's expected so that they need not wonder & feel awkward, this is even funnier.
Love the channel, but I don't think you can say Elizabethan England is the worlds first true super power. Certainly the Macedonian, Roman and Mongol empires certainly should all qualify, along with several others.
It isn't true that only royalty was allowed to wear fur. That's ridiculous and surprising that the makers of this video didn't realise such an obvious mistake. Perhaps they read that only ermine fur (white with black spots) was allowed to be worn by royalty and misunderstood this to mean all fur. What is the point of these history videos that aren't fact-checked? Come across far too many obvious errors like this that make it seem like a robot is creating these
I think a lot of people need manners today to know that when you're at a dinner table you shouldn't be scratching petting them animal ever. ☢️⚠️☣️⚕️🤧⚕️🤬🤦🏻♀️👀🤷🏼♀️ Proper table manners these are people that didn't even believe in taking showers 👎🏼😳🥴🧼🤢🤡 when you look at the history of Europe how unsanitary they truly were very awful.
An American obsession with 'superpowers'' too. And Spain was really the big power at this point anyway, they were a major threat to England (Armada, gunpowder plot).
I'm no professor but I can certainly tell 19th century imagery from 16th century Elizabethan imagery. That's a good 300 years and miles apart from the world just emerging from the middle ages.
I guess nobody would notice if everyone smelled equally bad all the time. But they simply lacked hygiene due to lack of opportunity to wash themself often I guess. Maybe clean water was limited/unavailable or at least in the winter half year way too cold and no way to keep yourself warm during and after a bath
Thank you! I stopped watching when I noticed that, especially at 1:19. That's so late Victorian I had to do some googling to make sure it wasn't Edwardian! There's a big difference between 150 years ago and 400 years ago. I was already skeptical when they opened with "England was the world's first real superpower." I mean Spain and France were nothing to sneeze at, and while the Mongols, the Roman's and the Byzantines didn't go to the New World, they were massive superpowers.
Well that’s demanding. Just because you watched the video, doesn’t mean you’re entitled to sit there and make demands. Ironic you ask rudely for a video about manners. You’re not his employer. You don’t get to tell him “I like you to make whatever” Also people get an ant in their pants just about the Disney movie. A fictional story based on a real person where they had creative library because it’s a movie. Yet people treat it like it a poorly written documentary. Which it isn’t. How bout you make one and you can deal with the crazies that rear their ugly heads?
Just so you know, the electric slide is bad manners, unless you in 1989, and even then, only if you were drunk at a wedding (and screwing it up) or a 12 year old girl
Manners SERIOUSLY need to be taught in American society. And men need to be instructed to remove thei hats when entering a building. Too many buffoons over in the old colony!
If I traveled back to meet ElizabethI I would bring a good amount of toilet paper a day my phone too 😂 Tell the the queen indoor plumbing it's gonna be big
Can you please do an episode on the Abbasid caliphate, specifically on Queen Zubaida and Harun al Rashid, and their relation to the Arabian nights tales?
To be honest, most of the rules, specially around table manners are great, we still have them. Manners maketh the man. Bring them back, they are not "hell" or weird
At 0:48, the picture on the screen is of Queen Victoria's marriage, during the Victorian Era, not the Elizabethan. That's a completely different time!!! Actually, now that I'm paying more attention to this, I will ssay that a lot of the pictures don't match up with the correct time period. I love the content - it sounds super interesting. But man, couldn't you get paintings from the actual Elizabethan Era? Wayyy too many pictures don't make sense!
I'm not sure about kissing my own hand lol...but, It would be awesome and respectful for every country in world to provide manners school yea.. that would be great. Caz these days (pickny) which means kids in my country are rothless..everywhere
How about the history of "the war of Jenkins ear" in the 1700s that I think started the great war between Britain and France. Edit: Correction, it was Spain, not France.
Come on now, the Romans, the Persians, the Mongolians they were all pretty big, super powers in their heydays. And Egypt was is a super power within Africa.
Generally a good show, but too bad that many of your filler period images were not from the Elizabethan period. too many Victorian, Edwardian, Medieval and Colonial images mixed in.
I'm all for teaching kids the importance of good manners, it can help more than one would think At the same time, I don't think beating them was,well,..a great motivation
Personally I don't think I would have called this a time where England became a super power. Much less the most powerful super power, I mean during the reign of Victoria you could say this. But during the reign of Queen Elizabeth they had a long way to go. I would say that they had started their rise, they finally had started to colonize the new world, and they beat the Spanish armada.
A couple of things I recall about her is, no clinking of ice cubes, stir your tea back and forth in the cup not in a circle and of course when she finished her meal everyone was done and I heard she ate rather quickly.
"bad manners brought about shame and real social consequences"
Sounds like something that should be reintroduced into society.
