Hello. Writer and researcher of the video here. Hope you liked our overview of different religious movements of western Europe in the lower middle ages. Of course we couldn’t go into detail of them as this video is meant as an overview touching on elements that the heresies/movements have in common. Sources used: -The Western Church in the Middle Ages, John A F Thomson -Religion in the Medieval West, Bernard Hamilton -Religious Controversy in Europe, 1378-1536 Van Dussen & Soukup -Medieval heresy : popular movements from the Gregorian reform to the Reformation, Malcolm Lambert -The Peace of God: Social Violence and Religious Response in France around the Year 1000; Edited by Thomas Head and Richard Landes -The Worlds of Medieval Europe, Clifford R.

Thanks for a great video and I'm looking forward to more! It would be interesting to explore the impact of social and theological events on motivations for reform, for example did the failure of Jesus' 'Second Coming' to manifest at different times (like in the year 1000) cause a disillusionment with Catholicism, or the impact of the Black Death on society and people's beliefs. Its a difficult topic probably with few sources, but might be an interesting area of research for this series
@@Landerdidthat Lambert’s book has a chapter at least on the Valdesian which was well written. If you are asking for information on today’s Valdesian’s I unfortunately don’t have much info on them
@@paulc1497 The impact of the black death definitely would be an interesting topic. The scare of the year 1000 is something I have not found many sources, and I personally suspect it’s importance has been increased by later writers
I appreciate the effort put into this but my understanding is that the segment concerning the Cathars is now considered outdated, and that they probably weren't so influenced by eastern sects like the Bogomils and probably didn't have a dualist view of the world. They also weren't as well organized as often suggested, a lot of these notions came from their enemies in the mainstream church who, over the decades, added ever more grand accusations and proclamations about Cathar beliefs and behaviours, slowly turning them into an evil conspiracy when in reality it was probably more of a series of eccentric local beliefs and customs in Southern France, especially concerning the ability of laity to reach a level of spiritual authority comparable or greater than that of the official church members. As far as I understand, the Cathar didn't even call themselves Cathars, and the name came to be applied to them by mainstream catholic writers who supported their destruction who based the name on ancient heresies that they had read about in an attempt to draw a line between the Cathars and much older heresies that was probably entirely fictional. This is also where their associations with the likes of Manicheans comes from too.
Religion has always been a major influence on the development of human civilization from the very beginning. Kings and generals has done a great service to all of us with documentaries like this and others to show the impact that it has had on our global history. From the earliest time to the present. Thank you so much.
Such a good work! It would be so cool to go deep in the theological differences between these heresies in a future video, especially in the firts heretic movements (what was the difference between the monophysits, the monothelits and the monoenergists? How these heresies began to be conceived starting from a platonic or aristotelic view of the World?)
I've always been curious why the early Church took such seemingly trivial theological differences so seriously. I'm tempted to believe that it was, consciously or not, a front for power politics. Did anyone besides the higher clergy even understand the theological differences between, say, the Miaphysites and Chalcedonians, let alone care?
Also, I just read about how the Cumans who settled in Hungary (Greater Cumania) eventually converted to Calvinist Protestantism. I would love to see a video about the forgotten Turkic Protestants.
@@daarom3472 very good analysis. Notice how often times those who controlled the organizations of Christianity often quelled "rebellious" attitudes whenever it started to jeopardize the status quo.
@@daarom3472 the orthodox structure is not that similar to Catholicism It's much more regionalised and autonomous, and has no central, ruling elite with the same power as the pope
@@TetsuShima you've said it yourself. Their shared goal for consolidating power through the lore of Christianity and the image of the Christ. For some humans, everlasting greed and lust for sex (priests also have sex behind closed doors) are necessary for their survival, so be it.
@@daarom3472 the eastern Orthodoxy church is much more decentralized, there is no “supreme pontiff” and no central governing authority.The metropolitan primates who enjoy autocephalous status are not subordinate to the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople, their considered peers and equals.

I find the slow conversion of the Teutonic order to Prussia to be an interesting topic considering their original purpose and the impact on the native Prussian Lithuanians who also eventually became Protestant and made the region a center of Lithuanian literature/culture.
A great video! I love to see a nuanced view of the Middle Ages being popularized. Speaking about the Council of Constance, you could probably make a whole video just about it, including a look at the two members of the Polish delegation (who defended Jan Hus): Stanisław of Skarbimierz and Paweł Włodkowic (known in Latin as Paulus Vladimiri). The two had some interesting, ahead-of-their-time ideas.
The relative tolerance existing in Poland-Lithuania is a very interesting abberation in an age of growing absolutism and religious strife. A shame what happened under the Prussians and later Soviets would erase much of what had been built over centuries.
A very important and necessary knowledge to understand why early and late medieval wars were so varied. I look forward to the continuation. Thanks for now.
Awesome stuff. Our people left Sandwich, England in1635 on the HMS Hercules for both religious and political reasons and landed at Plymouth. Yup we fought in the Revaluation and every US war since, we lost 7 (Union) in the US Civil War, Yankee blue bellies, with much respect to the Rebs and their Stars and Bars. Great to get some historical input of our 180ish million Protestants in the US, with total respect for our brothers and sisters in Catholic, Jewish and other religious groups.
A very fine overview, congratulations! Back when I was in college, I had made a special study of the Waldensians, so was glad to see them mentioned here (I also noticed, though I didn't enter, the Waldensian church in the center of Rome). A small Waldensian community emigrated to North Carolina, in the US, though this was long after they had essentially merged with the Calvinists in Italy and France. There's a town called Valdese in NC that is their epicenter there.
Everything starts from a previous attempt, minus the 1st one, which is usually always unsuccessful. But people have the ability to learn from mistakes.
Martin Luther was greatly assisted by the printing press. Before the printing press it was much harder to mass produce anything or make anything go viral.
This was very interesting. I didn't know this history. Thank you so much. I learn so much from you all. My family had a religious war. Protestant Uncle married a Catholic girl. I wasn't even born yet, but I heard about it. The sh*t hit the fan. Wow! Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei. Deep bow of respect.
@@KingsandGenerals The protestant heretics DID NOT reform anything but caused evil revolution. The ACTUAL reformers were Catholics within the Catholic church who reformed misabuses to catholic truth by those not properly following it.
Love these videos about religion (especially within the Western and Eastern Roman Empire) and how detailed they are. Keep up the good work Kings and Generals!
@@RJ-bq5mr John 10:27-23 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. The word of the living God is infallible.
Jan Hus was a temerous lunatic who directly attacked legitimate spiritual and temporal authorities, which inevitably led to a fierce and bloody civil war in Europe - a war from which our societies are still suffering to this day.
@@thecriticalnouswhat is there to be proud about being Orthodox? The church that believes you can pray to Mary (yes Orthodox heretics believe they can communicate with Mary as an intercessor between God and man no matter how they word it).
Why (if the Bible is sufficient apart from Holy Tradition) can a Baptist, a Pentecostal, a Jehovah's Witness, a Presbyterian ,a Calvinist and a Methodist all claim to believe what the Bible says and yet no two of them agree what it is that the Bible says?
@@thecriticalnous Protestants don’t claim that all other Protestant sects are true or correct. That question is in no way a valid defense of papism or orthodoxy. Here’s a better question, how is it the one true infallible church if your doctrines of today look completely alien to the doctrines of the catholic church in say, the early middle ages?
Yes!!! This is awesome!!! Hope you can have a full series of these videos!!! It was very well balance, lots of information without deviating from the main topic, the maps were so accurate, the flow of the script was very fluid, and the conclusion leave you want it to watch more. A big congratulation all the team that made this possible, keep with the good work, and looking forward for more! 💪
Loved the video, very informative. Could you please make a video about Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther King in this series because in UA-cam wherever we've searched there's no such simple explanation like yours.
This is awesome and I've been trying to find videos on the 40 years war about the Protestant/Catholic split. This so far has been the closest I could find. Please keep it up!
I'm from Constance and the council of Constance from 1414-1418 and Jan Hus's execution are a pretty big topic in my cities history. The building(s) where the council tool place is/are still intact and a popular tourist attraction as well as the monastery where Jan Hus was detained during his trial (although it's not a monastery anymore). The council of Constance actually primarily served to end the period of multiple competing popes and ended up with the election of a new, single pope to lead the Catholic church. From what I've learned/heard in local stories, Jan Hus came to Constance only after the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund and the other council members promised him free passage (and guarantees). But when he arrived he was instead imprisoned, trialed and burnt at the stake. There are still a number of Museums, streets and plazas/areas named after Jan Hus today and you sometimes see a memorial plate/inscription at different places in the old city and surrounding areas.
The Huguenots/Acadians and the French Wars of Religion are an amazingly interesting topic as well... lots of content that often gets overlooked, lots of really amazing people and some truly horrifically awful people.
Most Acadians were pious catholics. You had to be a good well behaved catholic to be allowed to move to Acadia or Quebec. Huguenots were forbidden to do so. They had tried to settled in South Carolina/Florida and Rio de Janeiro but were unsuccessful before the laws changed and they were forced to migrate either to the 13 colonies or other European states like the Netherlands or Prusia.
@@Alejojojo6 I'm not sure who told you this, but it's not accurate. My ancestors arrived in Port Royal in the 1680s-1700s; they came from La Rochelle, Louden (Aquitaine) and Rouen (Normandy) primarily, and many had fled to Amsterdam, Liden and Kent before that to flee Catholic persecution. For 150 years they lived in peace in Acadia, making treaties with the Mi'kmaq and other local Algonquin-speaking peoples, until Le Grand Dérangement killed 2/3rds of our people; I have direct grand-parents who died on the ships that were denied entry into Virginia as they headed down to Louisiana and the swamps. ("Fun" fact - in the 1930s Huey Long, renowned P.o.S. of Lousiana, built highways through Acadian ("Cajun" - a slur) lands and forced them to become "Americans" - change our names to English, give up speaking French, adopt Roman Catholicism. Even in America we faced persecution and have almost been completely assimilated at this point.) I can assure you, Huguenots were very much a part of Acadian history - and the fact that their history continues to be so misrepresented and erased is exactly why I would love to see a major channel like this cover it; they already covered the Catholic war on Protestantism & humanism (not linked, just both attacked at the same time) in France, so it would be a logical conclusion to it.
you mean like: c.539 Mazdaism (aka Magi) Persian King Cyrus the great conquers Pagan Babylon, soon after decrees conquered people (including Hebrews) will rebuild their temples. c.550-522 BC Persian Achaemenid Empire has pre-Zoroastrian Mazdaism as official religion, until the Magian priest Gaumata rebellion vs king Cambyses II - Cambyses II died, then cousin heir king Darius recovers empire and in 522--330 BC Persian Achaemenid Empire becomes officially Zoroastrian religion instead. Original Mazdaism(Magianism) with the Magi priests fall out of power, although still around. Persian Empire from Egypt to central Asia estimated contains about 45% of all humanity (45 million of 100 million Earth Pop!) at the time.

I think the general belief by most Christians is that the early church was a single, unified entity that morphed into the Roman catholic church & only began to fragment during the Renaissance. But there never really was a single, uniform Christianity.
Intetesting thing is that offspring of Peter Payne, english scholar who brought Wikliffes teachings to Prague, still live here, two families descended from him. Paynové (Payne family) and Engliš (he was called mister English while in Bohenia)
Nope you're wrong. Plenty of monastic orders who worked against Church corruption and lived in ascetic conditions were never deemed heretical. Being against corruption and for asceticism isn't and was never ground for being schismatic, as evident from the plethora of saints who held these convictions.
@@remilenoir1271 in some places yeah and others no, but what is certain is that catholics murdered hundreds of thousands of people for being part of movements that resulted from catholic corruption. What jesus would've wanted right?
@Sayuas The catholic Church has never, ever, in History, murdered hundreds of thousands of people or ordered such a thing to happen. So unless you have something to back up that claim there is no need to go any further with that conversation. What Jesus would've wanted doesn't really matter. Mankind is still mankind, with all its sin, contradictions and pettiness. As terrible as it is you can't except people not to indulge in violence on a political level just because the Bible said so. Especially when the issues at hand are politic issues as much, if not more, as they are religious (which was the case for cathars, hugenots, and protestants). Jesus coming didn't cure the world of sin, it only allowed those willing to not indulge in sin to be able to reconcile with God and enter paradise.
Man! It's amazing how shallow and terrible spiritual illumination was throughout these centuries. Sad also to know that some have survived till this day. But this was an awesome presentation!! As a Christian and a "touch and go" student of church history, I am eternally grateful for this!!
It should be noted that even within Catholicism - pre Ultramontanism - monarchs had a greater role on issues like appointing bishops than now. That might have made the Establishment of national Protestant churches seem less of a change than it seems now.
Shoutout to the Reformers who doctored the Church from the inside: The badass St Catherine of Siena St Francis of Asissi (Franciscans were interestingly the successful variant of Waldensians) St Bonaventure Etc Also, traditional Franciscans actually still survived called Capuchins and were not deemed as heretics thanks to the defense of St Bonaventure.
Kings and Generals is eventually going to have to make a video called "What is Christianity?" for people who were raised so secular that they legitimately don't know.
The problem with discussing religon, in particular, is that all the sources are biased in their own way, to a greater or lesser extent. The key is to try to interpret them with an open mind. Though doing this does have the tendency for you to be considered heretical as this will likely be contrary to the accepted doctrine. Heresy tends is condemned because of its social & political ramifications. Something which is explicitly mentioned in this video. One thing I love about the guys at Kings & Generals is that they do try to be as unbiased as possible. Keep it up!
I am slowly finding the absolute disastrous state of the world along with the endless political revolution that scarred the 16th and 17th century eerily similar to our modern conditions and cannot get enough history about this late medieval/early modern period these days, probably out of need to cope with all that’s going wrong these days. To be honest it is both disturbing but also strangely hopeful to see all this horrific endless violence actually resulting in real political change and not just utter apocalypse, maybe there is really hope in all this decay.
I am sorry but I needed to ask this. Will the proto-Protestant movements be featured in the video about alternate history on the "other" channel as well? I think the reactions of the Cathars and the Waldesians to the Sack of Rome by the "nomadic invaders who are the exception to all rules" are important here. Also, how much chance these proto-Protestant movements have the chances of accomplishing their endgames?
@@futureisyours3016 If I remembered correctly, their main goals most likely might be reforming the Church from within or break away from it. I really do not know because I forgot about it already. I am sorry.
@@lerneanlion well, I'll give some stuff to read on. Lead u a bit down the rabbit hole. Albert Pike, Freemasonry,(free bespoke)religion, Zelensky, rise of Turkey, open society, free immigrants in Europe, Italy facing immigrants. Failure of Crusades, Shriners. In one word...... I.L.M
This was fascinating! I very much enjoyed hearing about some of these early movements within and outside of Complication. I would be very interested to hear more about Christianity's early spread eastward into Persia, India, China, etc. too if you guys ever get the chance. Regardless, thank you very much for another excellent episode! God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
So happy that th Dominican and Fransiscan orders were mentioned! I studied about them when working at a museum that opened up inside the Dominican cloister in Malta. Fascinating stories, and we have a lot to thank them for, for documenting what they could!
I've always been a bit confused about exactly how Buddhism got to Japan. It seems like everything about Japan does really well on UA-cam so maybe you guys would be interested in covering that
I've had some interest in non-czech hussitism for a while now as it's often discussed in terms retroactively projecting nationalism onto the topic, while it would've absolutely made sense that much like other forms of protestantism, there would've been non-czech Hussites given time & area. Since this has also been mentioned in this video, what is some good literature going into non-czech local Bohemian perspectives on Hussitism?
Important note about Hus, the population and nobles took it as an insult because he was condemned without a proper trial, the nobles put forward a complaint that was signed by so many nobles that it had over four hundred seals and was divided into 8 parts (this had also practical reason because individual parts had nobles from different regions). So imagine you have practically an entire nobility of the only kingdom in HRE putting forward such a document, and decide it would be a good idea to proclaim all of them heretics for complaining that Hus was burned without a proper trial, what could go wrong? ... The document doesn't have english wikipedia page so here is the czech one: cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%AD%C5%BEn%C3%BD_list_proti_up%C3%A1len%C3%AD_Mistra_Jana_Husa
As a Protestant myself and raised by German parents I believe in the one way connection to gos above and our lord Jesus the Catholic ways we’re evil and to pay your way to god is inconceivable. To this day I am a loyal follower of the Lutheran faith and will remain to the day I die.
17:02 "But was found guilty of being a heretic, and burned at the stake." "His death *inflamed* the nobles and population of Bohemia." Funny how that works.
Thanks so much. I am a stroke survivor. ( I lived) my Father is a Lutheran Minister. Despite having ibeen well trained, it is great to review. Everything I remember, helps my confidence. SIN BOLDLY!( Luther)
When i was a student i used to work on a restaurant in Toulouse, one of my coworker said she was a cathar. Does it still exist or she's just pulling my leg?
10:32 "where they survive to this day" I think this might give the wrong impression that they survive to this day hiding in the alps. The Waldensian church, while the smallest of the protestant churches world wide, do not "survive", but "live", and have temples in multiple countries on the Western world, including the Americas. I wouldn't go so far as to say the ever truly thrived, but they are definitely better of than surviving hidden in the Alps to this day. considerably better.
Bit disappointed to see the bit about the cathars being the outdated retelling presented with absolute certainty without an asterisk mentioning the debates in historian circles that’s been raging the last 20 years.
@@Myavepea in your previous video Which was Muslim expansion in India u show hand emoji in telling JAT... So i mean to say plez don't bring Cast If u converted to Christianity in our faith we don't have any JAT or Rajput or any cast so plez don't bring it..
I wonder what prior sects influenced the Shakers and Quakers? The Quakers devotion to all people being equal is a foundational principle of the United States. David Hackett Fischer describes it well in his book - The Seeds Of Albion. One of the best history books I have ever read (and I read many.)
This does bring questions. How did the Orthodox Christian world was affected by the rising movements in the Catholic Christian world that were condemned as heresies before and after the Protestant Revolution? And I don't mean heresies like Arianism, Nestorianism, Monophysitism, Miaphytism, which were presented in Late Antinquity (and took shape as religions like the Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt and the Armenian Apostolic Church), but movements that were present in the Middle Ages (for example in Constantinople during late Byzantine and Ottoman periods, and in the lands of the Rus under the rule of the Ruthenians/Ukranians/Belarussians and Muscovites).
You are doing excellent work. Try not to beat yourself up about those who don't want to view evidence about the h people's socialism. You have opened my eyes about Germany from the 1900s to 1945.

Martin Luther was greatly assisted by the printing press. Before the printing press it was much harder to mass produce anything or make anything go viral.
This was very interesting. I didn't know this history. Thank you so much. I learn so much from you all. My family had a religious war. Protestant Uncle married a Catholic girl. I wasn't even born yet, but I heard about it. The sh*t hit the fan. Wow! Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei. Deep bow of respect.
Scandalous!
@@KingsandGenerals Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei Kings and Generals. so much to learn from you. Deepest most respectful bow. Thank you.💘
@@KingsandGenerals The protestant heretics DID NOT reform anything but caused evil revolution.
The ACTUAL reformers were Catholics within the Catholic church who reformed misabuses to catholic truth by those not properly following it.
An excellent summary of the various movements. I really enjoyed this video.
Love these videos about religion (especially within the Western and Eastern Roman Empire) and how detailed they are. Keep up the good work Kings and Generals!

The word of the living God is infallible.
Jan Hus was a temerous lunatic who directly attacked legitimate spiritual and temporal authorities, which inevitably led to a fierce and bloody civil war in Europe - a war from which our societies are still suffering to this day.

Came out to be very helpful thank you K&G
Always informative!
BEST HISTORY CHANNEL EVER, FANTASTIC WORK GUYS.
I'm proud to be Protestant but I also have Catholic friends. Crazy to think we would have been at each other's throats back then.
@@thecriticalnouswhat is there to be proud about being Orthodox? The church that believes you can pray to Mary (yes Orthodox heretics believe they can communicate with Mary as an intercessor between God and man no matter how they word it).
Why (if the Bible is sufficient apart from Holy Tradition) can a Baptist, a Pentecostal, a Jehovah's Witness, a Presbyterian ,a Calvinist and a Methodist all claim to believe what the Bible says and yet no two of them agree what it is that the Bible says?
@@thecriticalnous Protestants don’t claim that all other Protestant sects are true or correct. That question is in no way a valid defense of papism or orthodoxy. Here’s a better question, how is it the one true infallible church if your doctrines of today look completely alien to the doctrines of the catholic church in say, the early middle ages?
Yes!!! This is awesome!!! Hope you can have a full series of these videos!!! It was very well balance, lots of information without deviating from the main topic, the maps were so accurate, the flow of the script was very fluid, and the conclusion leave you want it to watch more. A big congratulation all the team that made this possible, keep with the good work, and looking forward for more! 💪
Loved the video, very informative. Could you please make a video about Protestant Reformation and Martin Luther King in this series because in UA-cam wherever we've searched there's no such simple explanation like yours.
This is awesome and I've been trying to find videos on the 40 years war about the Protestant/Catholic split. This so far has been the closest I could find.
Please keep it up!
Nice video. Can't wait for more on this interesting subject.
Incredible video, Thank you so much for uploading this.
I'm from Constance and the council of Constance from 1414-1418 and Jan Hus's execution are a pretty big topic in my cities history. The building(s) where the council tool place is/are still intact and a popular tourist attraction as well as the monastery where Jan Hus was detained during his trial (although it's not a monastery anymore).
The council of Constance actually primarily served to end the period of multiple competing popes and ended up with the election of a new, single pope to lead the Catholic church.
From what I've learned/heard in local stories, Jan Hus came to Constance only after the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund and the other council members promised him free passage (and guarantees). But when he arrived he was instead imprisoned, trialed and burnt at the stake.
There are still a number of Museums, streets and plazas/areas named after Jan Hus today and you sometimes see a memorial plate/inscription at different places in the old city and surrounding areas.
Excellent Video! Hope you guys can make more of this. Hope you explore the Huguenots!!
The Huguenots/Acadians and the French Wars of Religion are an amazingly interesting topic as well... lots of content that often gets overlooked, lots of really amazing people and some truly horrifically awful people.
Most Acadians were pious catholics. You had to be a good well behaved catholic to be allowed to move to Acadia or Quebec. Huguenots were forbidden to do so. They had tried to settled in South Carolina/Florida and Rio de Janeiro but were unsuccessful before the laws changed and they were forced to migrate either to the 13 colonies or other European states like the Netherlands or Prusia.
@@Alejojojo6 I'm not sure who told you this, but it's not accurate.
My ancestors arrived in Port Royal in the 1680s-1700s; they came from La Rochelle, Louden (Aquitaine) and Rouen (Normandy) primarily, and many had fled to Amsterdam, Liden and Kent before that to flee Catholic persecution.
For 150 years they lived in peace in Acadia, making treaties with the Mi'kmaq and other local Algonquin-speaking peoples, until Le Grand Dérangement killed 2/3rds of our people; I have direct grand-parents who died on the ships that were denied entry into Virginia as they headed down to Louisiana and the swamps.
("Fun" fact - in the 1930s Huey Long, renowned P.o.S. of Lousiana, built highways through Acadian ("Cajun" - a slur) lands and forced them to become "Americans" - change our names to English, give up speaking French, adopt Roman Catholicism. Even in America we faced persecution and have almost been completely assimilated at this point.)
I can assure you, Huguenots were very much a part of Acadian history - and the fact that their history continues to be so misrepresented and erased is exactly why I would love to see a major channel like this cover it; they already covered the Catholic war on Protestantism & humanism (not linked, just both attacked at the same time) in France, so it would be a logical conclusion to it.
I am a very big fan of this topic, but even I myself have not heard about the Catharism. It's great video thank you for your work!!
Religious history stuff is exciting, I am looking forward to more of it. Great video!
My favourite video from my favourite YT channel. Fascinating!
I've had my fingers crossed for a video from K&G on this subject :)
Great video, really interesting and respectful
Yes! How cool. Please more videos on the history of religion
you mean like:
c.539 Mazdaism (aka Magi) Persian King Cyrus the great conquers Pagan Babylon, soon after decrees conquered people (including Hebrews) will rebuild their temples.
c.550-522 BC Persian Achaemenid Empire has pre-Zoroastrian Mazdaism as official religion, until the Magian priest Gaumata rebellion vs king Cambyses II - Cambyses II died, then cousin heir king Darius recovers empire and in
522--330 BC Persian Achaemenid Empire becomes officially Zoroastrian religion instead. Original Mazdaism(Magianism) with the Magi priests fall out of power, although still around. Persian Empire from Egypt to central Asia estimated contains about 45% of all humanity (45 million of 100 million Earth Pop!) at the time.
Great video on a fascinating topic.
Absolutely love stuff like this

I think the general belief by most Christians is that the early church was a single, unified entity that morphed into the Roman catholic church & only began to fragment during the Renaissance. But there never really was a single, uniform Christianity.
I love your channel. You’re voice also belongs on history shows on the history channel
Thanks for this information great job 😊
Intetesting thing is that offspring of Peter Payne, english scholar who brought Wikliffes teachings to Prague, still live here, two families descended from him. Paynové (Payne family) and Engliš (he was called mister English while in Bohenia)
I like how they were called heretics just for being against church corruption and living in an ascetic way, helping people
Even better is that they eventually just became the same as the thing they fought against.
@@Chestyfriend if Luther saw what American protestantism because he'd probably just shut up and pay his indulgences.
Nope you're wrong.
Plenty of monastic orders who worked against Church corruption and lived in ascetic conditions were never deemed heretical.
Being against corruption and for asceticism isn't and was never ground for being schismatic, as evident from the plethora of saints who held these convictions.
@@remilenoir1271 in some places yeah and others no, but what is certain is that catholics murdered hundreds of thousands of people for being part of movements that resulted from catholic corruption. What jesus would've wanted right?
@Sayuas The catholic Church has never, ever, in History, murdered hundreds of thousands of people or ordered such a thing to happen.
So unless you have something to back up that claim there is no need to go any further with that conversation.
What Jesus would've wanted doesn't really matter. Mankind is still mankind, with all its sin, contradictions and pettiness.
As terrible as it is you can't except people not to indulge in violence on a political level just because the Bible said so. Especially when the issues at hand are politic issues as much, if not more, as they are religious (which was the case for cathars, hugenots, and protestants).
Jesus coming didn't cure the world of sin, it only allowed those willing to not indulge in sin to be able to reconcile with God and enter paradise.
Great work guys
Fantastic video keep it up you're doing amazing job
Man! It's amazing how shallow and terrible spiritual illumination was throughout these centuries. Sad also to know that some have survived till this day.
But this was an awesome presentation!! As a Christian and a "touch and go" student of church history, I am eternally grateful for this!!
It should be noted that even within Catholicism - pre Ultramontanism - monarchs had a greater role on issues like appointing bishops than now. That might have made the Establishment of national Protestant churches seem less of a change than it seems now.
Some small group leader: Hey Guys!
So I’ve been looking at the budget and we’re going to make some cut backs…

Shoutout to the Reformers who doctored the Church from the inside:
The badass St Catherine of Siena
St Francis of Asissi (Franciscans were interestingly the successful variant of Waldensians)
St Bonaventure
Etc
Also, traditional Franciscans actually still survived called Capuchins and were not deemed as heretics thanks to the defense of St Bonaventure.
Kings and Generals is eventually going to have to make a video called "What is Christianity?" for people who were raised so secular that they legitimately don't know.
The problem with discussing religon, in particular, is that all the sources are biased in their own way, to a greater or lesser extent. The key is to try to interpret them with an open mind. Though doing this does have the tendency for you to be considered heretical as this will likely be contrary to the accepted doctrine. Heresy tends is condemned because of its social & political ramifications. Something which is explicitly mentioned in this video. One thing I love about the guys at Kings & Generals is that they do try to be as unbiased as possible. Keep it up!
I love this style of animation.
If only they had enough money to make it a moving animation
I am slowly finding the absolute disastrous state of the world along with the endless political revolution that scarred the 16th and 17th century eerily similar to our modern conditions and cannot get enough history about this late medieval/early modern period these days, probably out of need to cope with all that’s going wrong these days. To be honest it is both disturbing but also strangely hopeful to see all this horrific endless violence actually resulting in real political change and not just utter apocalypse, maybe there is really hope in all this decay.
I am sorry but I needed to ask this. Will the proto-Protestant movements be featured in the video about alternate history on the "other" channel as well? I think the reactions of the Cathars and the Waldesians to the Sack of Rome by the "nomadic invaders who are the exception to all rules" are important here.
Also, how much chance these proto-Protestant movements have the chances of accomplishing their endgames?
Wow!!! Do they have an endgame agenda??? Talk about it!!!!
@@futureisyours3016 If I remembered correctly, their main goals most likely might be reforming the Church from within or break away from it. I really do not know because I forgot about it already. I am sorry.

Thank you for the video it was good 👍🏻
I'm looking forward to more on the Protestant Movements.
I would like to hear how the Puritans shaped the North American beliefs of today.
I've had some interest in non-czech hussitism for a while now as it's often discussed in terms retroactively projecting nationalism onto the topic, while it would've absolutely made sense that much like other forms of protestantism, there would've been non-czech Hussites given time & area. Since this has also been mentioned in this video, what is some good literature going into non-czech local Bohemian perspectives on Hussitism?
Important note about Hus, the population and nobles took it as an insult because he was condemned without a proper trial, the nobles put forward a complaint that was signed by so many nobles that it had over four hundred seals and was divided into 8 parts (this had also practical reason because individual parts had nobles from different regions).
So imagine you have practically an entire nobility of the only kingdom in HRE putting forward such a document, and decide it would be a good idea to proclaim all of them heretics for complaining that Hus was burned without a proper trial, what could go wrong?
...
The document doesn't have english wikipedia page so here is the czech one: cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%AD%C5%BEn%C3%BD_list_proti_up%C3%A1len%C3%AD_Mistra_Jana_Husa
Great job
Once again we see how ideas can never truly be killed.
The Protestant reformation could be a fun oversimplified video
How I had no idea these popular uprisings and sentiments stretched back so far!
As a Protestant myself and raised by German parents I believe in the one way connection to gos above and our lord Jesus the Catholic ways we’re evil and to pay your way to god is inconceivable. To this day I am a loyal follower of the Lutheran faith and will remain to the day I die.

"But was found guilty of being a heretic, and burned at the stake."
"His death *inflamed* the nobles and population of Bohemia."
Funny how that works.
Thanks so much. I am a stroke survivor. ( I lived) my Father is a Lutheran Minister. Despite having ibeen well trained, it is great to review. Everything I remember, helps my confidence. SIN BOLDLY!( Luther)

When i was a student i used to work on a restaurant in Toulouse, one of my coworker said she was a cathar. Does it still exist or she's just pulling my leg?

Please make more videos on the history of Christianity and other major religions.
great stuff
10:32 "where they survive to this day"
I think this might give the wrong impression that they survive to this day hiding in the alps.
The Waldensian church, while the smallest of the protestant churches world wide, do not "survive", but "live", and have temples in multiple countries on the Western world, including the Americas. I wouldn't go so far as to say the ever truly thrived, but they are definitely better of than surviving hidden in the Alps to this day. considerably better.
Bit disappointed to see the bit about the cathars being the outdated retelling presented with absolute certainty without an asterisk mentioning the debates in historian circles that’s been raging the last 20 years.

0:30 Well, it was the catholic church that denounced its founding principles
As an Eastern Orthodox Christian I approve this message
I wonder what prior sects influenced the Shakers and Quakers?
The Quakers devotion to all people being equal is a foundational principle of the United States. David Hackett Fischer describes it well in his book - The Seeds Of Albion.
One of the best history books I have ever read (and I read many.)
This does bring questions. How did the Orthodox Christian world was affected by the rising movements in the Catholic Christian world that were condemned as heresies before and after the Protestant Revolution? And I don't mean heresies like Arianism, Nestorianism, Monophysitism, Miaphytism, which were presented in Late Antinquity (and took shape as religions like the Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt and the Armenian Apostolic Church), but movements that were present in the Middle Ages (for example in Constantinople during late Byzantine and Ottoman periods, and in the lands of the Rus under the rule of the Ruthenians/Ukranians/Belarussians and Muscovites).
illuminating!
