Wenceslas IV. was known for his alcoholism, when the Hussites conquered Zbraslav monastery, where was Wenceslas IV. temporarily buried. They sat the dead body together them in "banquet" and drank alcohol, i mean they poured alcohol into his dead mouth. At that, they shouted the words "but you also liked to drank with us during your life". Only a few years later, his body was finally buried in the church of St. Vitus, next to the body of his father Charles IV. - the greatest of the Czech kings. btw. Luxenbourgs since Charles IV. wasnt only germans, mother of Charles IV. - Eliška Přemyslovna was member of original czech dynasty. She was reason why Luxenbourgs had rule in Czech lands. Charles IV. had her Přemyslian blood, and he known it, and was proud.
people saying "game is biased" literally own lords you serve and other people you talk to in game says wenceslas is an idiot and that they would really want someone else, but not Sigismund.
P.S. I absolutely LOVE that character you use to represent your channel (the armoured knight, with an automatic pistol in hand) combined with the channel’s name, “Parry this!” Great gag, with multiple layers.
Some parts of this video are spoken word for word from the wiki page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslaus_IV_of_Bohemia. 2:30 onwards covers the last line of the 'Biography' section before going directly on to the 'rule' section. Absolutely nothing wrong with using wiki as a source, but no citation given or indication provide that these sections are complete read-outs. I hope this is not the case for the other episodes in this series.
Was looking all over the other channel for these videos! I thought I was going nuts or that you took them down. Thankfully a bit of Google Fu led me to this new channel, but for a minute I thought I had gone crazy or lost my memory. Wanted to rewatch these after the Kingdom Come 2 announcement. Looking forward to more, and also my FOMO anxiety is soaring right now because you have days upon days of historical videos I missed out on over the years because I didn't get the memo you made a separate channel for them. 😅
I think it deserves to be even more popular than it is. The success it achieved is impressive, especially for a first release, but there are a lot of people out there that love this type of game, but for some reason still haven't tried KCD.
Mafia series, Operation Flashpoint, Vietcong, Samorost, Factorio, Arma series, DayZ, Truck Simulator series, Silenthill Downpour, Beatsaber, Gray Zone, etc… The Czechs has a made many great and popular games, many of them classics.
great videos. just some additional notes: the real name of Wenceslas was actually 'Wenzel' (thats also why 'Wenzel bible'). There was also no 'Charles' - it was a 'Karl' (like Karl Popper, Karl Marx and so on). Consequently, the same is true for 'Charlemagne' (no one with that name existed - that was just a much later localized name from France which was unaware copy-pasted by the English). His name was also Karl or Karl der Grosse/Karl the Great or latinized Karolus Magnus. And exactly that is what you find in all other languages, all coins, artifacts and so on from that and later - still more related - times. And for historic contexts thats quite important because only if you get that then you understand that there is an interesting name scheme, because Karls brother was named 'Karlmann' (similar to already other former pairs from the same dynasty) - which shows something. But people will miss such and many other things if one confuses all the time the names. All Henrys were also in reality 'Heinrich's and there was also no 'Louis' but 'Ludwig's or other old variations like 'Clodwig's ...
It is appropriate, good writing even, that the characters in the story of Kingdom Come Deliverance would have both biases and some varying degrees of ignorance as to the details of what their, “betters,” were up to, most especially their motives. Most of the machinations of Popes of the day, their cardinals in their enclaves and the princes they dealt with would have only been, necessarily, only known to very few, even among their own piers, at the time. Secrecy being a premium and all. What we know now about their actions today, especially the whys and wherefores, not only casts a light on things that could not have been understood by the wider populations of the various warring states at that time, but are still debated among historians. In my experience, the wars around the time of the Holy Roman Empire, are interpreted very differently by different countries to this day, and represent one of the messiest periods in European history to untangle. If you’re interested in historiography at all, you will know that there is a world of difference between the hard, established facts and the, “inference,” or, “attribution,” people attach to certain developments, especially when it comes to interpreting motives. I’m no expert in this period, and I am fascinated by your explanation of it; keen to learn about the lore of both the story of the video game (which I intend to play, despite never having played the first one) and the period itself. To that end, since you asked for requests, I would ask that you would pick out any and all of the characters in both of the games that were real historic figures (at the risk of spoilers, for which I suppose you would have to issue a warning) and tell us about what the game gets right and what they may be taking artistic license with? This is (I think?) my first visit to your channel, and I enjoyed it immensely. I want to thank you for presenting the period so clearly, concisely and vividly; ultimately, enjoyably. I’m going to rummage around for other, related videos in your collection now. I’m really keen to catch up on the lore of the story and to imbibe the lore of the period, so I’ll come into the game well armed and immersed. Sorry for blethering. I don’t always waffle this much. If you read all of this, thank you for your patience. And thank you for the wonderful video.
Wait hold on so somehow way down the line you are related to king Wenceslas VI that’s actually really cool so your basically present day nobility nice😂
Its more of an interesting footnote. Most people who can track their lineage back at least 10 generations can find some level of nobility or even royalty in there.
@@ParryThis that is true I actually figured out with my very far down the line Native American lineage I am somehow related to a chieftain but I mean it’s really cool that you are somehow related to king Wenceslas VI I mean even thought it very well could be a common thing still cool nonetheless

dyslexic. armchair historian. playing the game and cant find a single fucking documentory that focuses on the period... have the lectures bookmarked and these 16 vids as intro dont think ill ever get the 'true christian' achievment. its too fun to get drunk with the monk and this playthrough ill be a right bastard on all hardcore mode
I think That eporer Charles4 spoil king Wenceslas 4 sinc he has tught childrenhood on ist own. Be keept lock up in castel Loket , Be separated from his mather Eliška 😕
Some high quality historical content right here. And in not biased in any way. Subscribed.
Completely not biased in anyway, and you are 2 different people in every way
Dont sound similar at all. Completely distinct.
Nothing to see here, just a fan of high quality content, clearly.
Holy heck it's you! Love your content lol
This is literally from Wikipedia

Potential for this to be my new favorite channel. Excellent content!
Welcome aboard! I sure hope it turns out that way.
Love the new channel. Looking forward to all the great historical content you are going to produce.
Much appreciated!
Dude I’m glad I found this after you made a few, I’m going to have to go through your vids and find something to suggest.
Hope you enjoy!

Well, i am glad you found them. I decided i liked making history content so much that it deserved it's own channel.
Can't believe I'm late to the party. Awesome video!
No worries! Better late than never.
Didnt know a czech game would be that popular
I think it deserves to be even more popular than it is. The success it achieved is impressive, especially for a first release, but there are a lot of people out there that love this type of game, but for some reason still haven't tried KCD.
It's one of the greatest games of the 21st century. I mean, it's not in the top 100 of greatest games, but it's certainly on the list.

Henry filled that camp full of uppercuts at 5:00 🔨
Bruh even if the game is biased, you literally play as the child to the kings hetman, of course you won't like the other guy.
I like your intro it’s very epic
I was going for epic. Thanks.
Actual history. Parry this. For maximum dissrespect simply unscrew the pommel and proceed to throw it at the subscribe button.
