- The history of Malmesbury Abbey is a long one and there are many tales to tell of the celebrated monastery. Founded by the Benedictines in 676, part of the abbey still survives today, over thirteen hundred years later. But it is the abbey’s connection to John of Tintern, a cleric described by one historian as probably the “most corrupt and disreputable monk of the entire Middle Ages”, that stands out as the most fascinating story. Let’s travel back in time now to the14th century and meet the outrageous monk whose crimes included brawling, theft, fraud, arson, kidnap, and murder.
Welcome to Medieval Madness.

Most monks: "God's ten commandments."
John of Malmesbury: "God's ten suggestions."
God's Checklist
barbosa: "more like, guidelines"
God's Bucket List
God‘s ten commandments, not mine though😤
First off, they are not the Jewish gods ten commandments, they are human social rules to live by long before the Jews wrote them down and added a few more!!
Last time I was this early, it was 1176!
AHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! 🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯👌👌👌 SO FUNNY!!
Without a photo, it seems you've aged well!
Not early enough perhaps.
HUHAHA.
Peak comedy. Just like farting sounds
This is the best medieval history channel on RUclips👍
False. Mine is. I love sword fighting.
He was definitely Pope material
😂
The Borgia popes seem kind of tame in comparison.
You beat me to it...
😂
Last time I was this early my wife ran off with Raoul the Cabana Boy.🤣🤣
Elmer of Malmsbury may not have completed his trip, but he was said to have flown for more than a furlong (1 furlong = 660 feet). That’s at least a furlong farther than I’ve ever flown under my own power.
I`ve fl;own a lot further than a furlong usually after a few pints.
The Baby Eating Bishop of Bath and Wells lol
A colossal pervert
Never have I encountered such corrupt and foul-minded perversity! Have you ever considered a career in the church?!
That lad was just a tribute act. Some decent murdering and mayhem for sure, but clearly a John of Malmsbury wannabe.
Nah, this guy was LIT! Need a film about him...
The evil Friar Tuck😂
Friar Fuck
Holy crap, that town looks like something straight out of Oblivion!
To quote office space:
“It feels good to be a gansta”
ew
Oh fancy that , a relgous person of authority who was a murderer and criminal . Im so utterly shocked .
I'm actually clutching my pearls...
Pretty big sentiment among self-important midwits, but you should see how many more of these types are working with your kids in elementary school than anywhere else at all.
@@OdeInWessexWell I never. I think I'm getting hysterical.
@@vapormissile You having a fit of the vapours then? Sorry, it was obvious, but I couldn't resist.😂😂
@@OdeInWessex You just triggered a full conniption
Amazing way to start saturday
Sounds like John and Henry of Badminton had quite a racket going. 😉
Amazing paintings / drawings
"He hath laid before them an offer of such magnitude, that to decline would verily be unthinkable."
Why does this not have a bazillion likes? Bloody brilliant!
"Yeah, I suppose it is pretty lame not being able to fly."---😅That was great! I love this channel and the humor.
Corrupt priests? Who’d have guessed?
:25 my man rolled a head crack?! 😂😂😂
That’s a mouthful “The mass murdering monastery monk of Malmesbury” say it fast 10 times!
Early morning upload 👌
Guy was ahead of his time. He'd be a tele-evangelist now.
Well I live in Malmesbury and walk through the Abbey most days . Lots of tunnels leading from the Abbey to various places around town with lots of history too. A very interesting video. Thank you
Wonder if there's any treasure still hidden in those tunnels....
Damn, monk was rockin some dope shades with hands on the craps 🎲🎲
Sounds like a Guy Ritchie movie.
That’s not how indulgences work. They don’t dismiss sin, but reduce time in purgatory. It was improper to sell them, though some did (this was one of the abuses corrected at the Council of Trent). They are still granted today, though not emphasized, and are certainly not sold.
is he a thief ?nooo !!! is he a gangster? no noo!!! then he must be a Monster !!!! blessed be the soul He was a ""Monkster""
Sounds a bit like the Baby-Eating Bishop of Barnston-Wells from Blackadder.
Great episode. One small thing - I think it was 'Bath and Wells' (Wells being a cathedral city nearish to Bath)
This would make a wicked film
I've been looking 4 Midevil Madness. T.Y. / Ohio/ Michigan/ Indiana.!!!❤
the vow of poverty is only a suggestion.
Wonder how many of those involved were former Templars?
Comment to please the Al Gore Rhythm
Ah an Inconvenient comment.😂
@@merlebarney watch out or ManBearPig! 😉
I always wished that Al Gore released an album called "Rhythms!"
When last I look, the abbot fled from Scotland.
Cool
Sounds like the bishop from blackadder 2
Make a videos about the most famous warrior like fighter of medieval times
You are not first!
Everyone gangsta til they see a flying monk
Imagine we invented planes during Medieval period
wow
mmmmm ya well that hasn,t changed any that still goes on today
Was just playing chivalry 2. Now I’m watching this. I was born in the wrong time
Why do you wish you weren't born in this day and age?
I much prefer living in the age of hot water and toilet paper. Admittedly theres not much else going for this time period.. probably the last era of humanity to boot...
Because you think you'd be some sort of big-shot back then? Dude, you'd be just another peasant.
This all made it to court. And transcribed.
Witchhunt! 🎉
Henry II murdering people in an abbey doesn't seem very king like. He was a bit of an asshole eh?
Dayum im rly early
Gregory Monk
Worth listening to if only for the mispronunciation really amusing
Yeah. And distracting.
Times hath Changeth ....not
he made dat bag doe
There needs to be a rap song about him.
I wonder if this is the same guy who was also a massive pervert and have already been featured on this channel.
If so i think this guy inspired the monk at the end of the first part/incarnation of Blackadder with whom he formed that League of Evil made up of various cutthroat people.
Edit.: Nvm., someone already mentioned him.
This guy needs to be made into a movie ......lmao Shame benny hill has passed...
RIP to the Big Homie JMonk from the 14thC Malmesbury Abbey Crips. 🙌🏿🖖🏿👌🏿
Why does the narrator sound like Van Balion?
Buy your way outta sin, huh? Sounds bout right
skip to 8:06 to see a hilariously bad A.I image that was used 😂😂😂😂
Yuck. I've noticed them in the thumbnails too. Unsubscribed and blocked from recommendations.
🙊🙉🙈👀ツ
Straight medieval shit, let's fucking go.
He used to be a really active guy, but now he’s kinda lame.
I guess you can purchase favor with God or it's all fake as crap.
And the next item up for bid, Saint Clement's pinky toe! How much would you pay to own this holy digit? Guaranteed divine protection for shipwrights and marble carvers... You, Sir, you look like a boatswain...
Whats 500 pounds in the 1300s in todays money
$612.43
@@Fanny-Fannybro I can assure u 500 pounds in 13th century was much more than 600$ today especially when people made mere pence a day 500 pounds of silver back then would be worth 100s of thousands of dollars today
@@Fanny-Fannyhe said in the video that the kingdom was 9000 pounds in debt worth millions today
I don't think Jesus likes this
.... I'm Sure Jesus is Discussing This With Comrade Trumpski Right Now.... HAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA 🏴🌄 5:46
John of Malmesbury may have been a jew.
So every Catholic monk?
actual blasphemy
Hateful for no reason at all
Watch out, we got a skinhead here.
Don't pretend that they're any worse than the other sects.
@@danvernier198 Oh, I am not pretending. In fact, they are worse because they used to hold Europe in a chockhold for nearly one thousand years and continue to do it in some places.
Ahhh, seems things were not so different from than the current Catholic Church…
Cool video but please don't start putting 'Gangster' in every single video title like you're the Fat Electrician!
5:39 why does everyone look like Joe Rogan in that painting? Especially the king.
Haha.
He was applying for the job of Baby eating Bishop of Bath and Wells.
The idea of relics … are we worshipping these relics? What happened to “thou shall not have false gods before you.” And all the stain glass images? A thigh bone? Rather Disconcerting. I like my God better.”
