We
Thank you guys!! Edit: Going
“/totpenz”?
What do the first 100 people who point out that people don't live for over 200 years get?
404
Did Simon say that Guy de Lusignan ruled Cyrpus for a couple hundred years? 😂😂
Yes. I had to go back to hear if it's what I heard
Yup 😂
That’s what I heard hahahah
He certainly did. Lol.
Perhaps he was of The Lizard People.
He sure did.
I love how often Simon uploads videos.
He's making his money
You mean the dozen clones he has of himself to help host his countless channels of high class content? Yeah, I like them too
He keeps it classy...when his 100 channels turn into blaze..we out boned
CatGod Kain I think business blaze might be my favorite channel
@@wzimsk 4 sure
He ruled for a couple of a hundred years, then died without an heir. WTF??? He must still be on his "Business Blaze" high.....
I don't get what's so weird about that?
@@neo-didact9285 yes COCAINE
Maybe he was part of that contingent of knights sent to hide the Holy Grail in Indiana Jones 3, and took a sip when no one was looking?
Neo- Didact you don’t see what’s strange about a man living a couple of hundred years?
Allegedly
All Simon is missing now is a ivory pipe, a fireplace and a red comfy chair.
Don't forget the tweed jacket
Pocket square and ascot
In Business Blaze he has a stack of paper, mug of coffee, and a space heater, that work?
@@joedirt7716 thats what i was gonna say
That much swag only belongs on Business Blaze. I don’t know if the top tenz fandom could handle it.
Fun fact... at one stage Guy Lusignan and his brother captured William Marshall (murdering William's uncle at the same time) and held him prisoner for ransom. Eleanor of Aquitane paid the ransom (as he and his uncle had been escorting her when they were attacked) and as a reward for his bravery William became a Knight in her household which is where he was tutor in arms to the young Henry. The Lusignan's were basically a**holes but thanks to them William Marshall grew to be the Greatest Knight. The end.
It's difficult for many people to appreciate history and the individuals involved in it. You have done an exceptional piece of work here. Bravo!
How about History's most notorious gladiators next?
Love these types of videos. More medieval/ancient historical ones please.
"Died of dysentery before he reached the throne ". 😄😅😆
Probably thought "I don't want all the sh1t that happens on the throne". A man of conviction!
I think we have all felt like that after a nasty curry.
Did he follow the Oregon Trail?
4:10 Simon: "ruled for a couple of hundred years..."
Me: Ummmmm
My thoughts exactly " allegedly"
@rudiger891 ok chode.
@rudiger891 Yes I did, and not only did you point out me pointing it out, but you also pointed out how smart I am! Thank-you!
Absolute Legend!
rudiger891 Wow, you must be a condescending jerk.
I'm fairly certain he might mean his lineage
An interesting tale of El CID, after his death his body was mounted on his horse and ridden into battle one final time, much to the horror of his enemies
Its my personal theory that simon purposely leaves in mistakes bc he's guaranteed comments correcting him. Smooth ploy, mr whistler 😂
you spelled because wrong 😉
& play....
There are 3 knights you forgot to add to the list the first was John Hunyadi a Hungarian knight and nobleman, Jakub Kobylanski a 14th century Polish knight, and Gilles de Raise
I'm digging the beard Mr. Whistler. Mine isnt as distinguished yet sir
Why is the thumbnail about gladiators?
Are you not entertained?
Why is this the only thing you have to say?
*Thank you!* I really needed some small talk for my dentist appointment today.
Is anyone else using Simon's beard to gauge the passage of time?
I have started feeling like I stopped watching You Tube and only watch Simon Whistler. That new app that we all love for its several different channels. Lol
Excellent Simon! I’m a sucker for knights!
your beard is glorious!
Check out Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold. He is believed to have written Morte de Arthur from the London tower while imprisoned. Would be a great episode!
Hell yes, you added Black Douglass. Awesome to see him not lost to history
Simon your beard is luscious and your channels are excellent i applaud you on the great work
Guy de Lusingan ruled Cyprus for 200 years AND died without a heir? If this is true, you NEED to do a segment on him lol.
Interesting history. Great video as always.
Another interesting knight for this would have been Götz von Berlichingen. That man was a german robber baron who had an iron hand as a prosthesis in the 16th century.
I know this is an odd place for a Netflix recommendation but if you like history when it comes to the Middle Ages watch the last kingdom on Netflix it’s fire
Little correction at 10:57... The English did capture king John II of France at Poitiers, but they didn't get the heir the French throne prince Charles, the later king Charles V. John II had 4 sons, and the one that was taken prisoner and joined him in captivity was the youngest, Philip (who was 14 years old at the time). Philip gained the epithet 'the bold' for his courage at Poitiers, and was awarded the duchy of Burgundy, which he expanded and strengthened into a regional powerhouse.
I feel like Simon and Andrew from Binging with Babish are the same person just putting on different accents for different channels. That would be a fun crossover though.
i love these videos so much!
Its amazing how large the population has grown. Heroes fall every single day who would have been known for decades in another age. Here, they get a Purple heart and maybe some news coverage and then they are gone. Forever on a long wall carved among brothers.
Suero! the troll before his time!
I want Simon to do my eulogy
I loved when Obi-wan confronted Grievious on #6
Robert the Bruce is my many times great uncle
I hope you can enjoy today and be happy. You deserve it
I’m surprised this list doesn’t include Gilles de Rais, an important member of Jean D’Arc’s campaign, and later serial killer.
4:12 ... "He ruled for a couple of a hundred years, then died without an heir" ... c'mon Simon don't overdo it now!!.🤣
i wanna see a top tenz video in the business blaze style
4:11 couple of hundred years? Now THAT dude ate his veggies!!!
Simon’s beard is awesome .
Need to move to Cyprus, it seems you live a lot longer there
Top 10 Simon Whistler Channels!
I love these historical ones
You're not going to get away with ignoring the Teutonic knights, the Knights Hospitaler, or the Polish knight, King John Sobieski.
Once a king, always a king. Once a knight is enough!!!! Lol.
Hail, thanks for the link 🏴💙🐧
Time stamp 4:14:
My thoughts
"Simon dafuq"
Simon needs more RUclips channels 👍👍👍
Warographics = 15 minutes on The Italian Wars.
Guaranteed 1 million+ views.
That is a rocking beard Simon.
Let's see this list vs deadliest samurai warriors! Warm up the celebrity death match time machine!
If you take all his videos and watch them from oldest to newest you can watch his beard grow in real time
Simon: " I meant a couple of years, not a couple hundred years."
Simon Speaker - he gave up whistling
Just like us Wrights gave up building windmills a few centuries ago.
You should do a Biographics on William Marshall
How on earth did you not include John Chandos? There are literally streets named after him; I can think of at least two in London alone.
Sir Robert Knolles or Knollys (c. 1325 - 15 August 1407) was an important English knight of the Hundred Years' War, who, operating with the tacit support of the Crown, succeeded in taking the only two major French cities, other than Calais and Poitiers, to fall to Edward III.[citation needed] His methods, however, earned him infamy as a freebooter and a ravager: the ruined gables of burned buildings came to be known as "Knollys' mitres". Her was a leader of a free Company.
Legend has it that Simon the Whistler of Prague will rule the YouTubian Empire for a "couple hundred years".
Shame it was only for real knights, I'd have demanded the Knights who say Ni be on the list then... :P
The Knights who say Ni are real I seen them in a documentary 😀😀
better get some. . . .shrubbery
Eckieckieckiputang!
They are no longer the Knights who say ni they are the knight who say "Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringnmmm".
What is your quest?
Bro...I need to invade Cyprus!
The most notorious of the Black Knights guarded a small bridge in England. He fought King Arthur to a draw, having suffered just a flesh wound.
More myth than anything else. The confused jumble that is Arthurian legends, combined with the Romantic Era reinventions of these really do make any history of the mediaeval period very unreliable.
I cant believe i made a Monty Python reference while watching this video, and as soon as i post it, they mention the very scene i described.
I usually adore you Simon! But Hubby and I are downvoting the beard and the plug for the Blinkist app. Not actually but... you’re the info guy! We need you reading the whole book!
Is the thumbnail a mistake?
Guy of Lusignan "ruled for a couple of hundred years," did he? In what year did humans give up such miraculous longevity?
Honestly, by the time he hits sixty Simon's gonna have a Gandalf beard.
4:10 he ruled Spain for a couple of hundred more years? Think you meant a couple more years in that one Simon 🤣🤣👌🏿
Brilliant
Always fun to see the British spectrum of history being limited by it's previous adversaries.
English, French and one Spanish knight...while the word knight itself is pretty literally from Germanic origin. (Knecht = servant)
Would've been a nice opportunity to have a list of lesser romanticised "European" knights instead of the usual 'Hollywood-prepped' suspects.
Ego sum Regiae Nobilitatis Hungariae Transylvaniee⚜️
Nobilis eques Regis Hunyadi Janos.
MMM hominem raptor ordo pugnavi per me.
I pugna diaboli ⚔️
Ego pugnabo leonem ⚔️
Im publice #1 Eques Historia Mundi ⚔️
I have learned to hate the word "Curated." But, it is shorter than revised and censored.
Holly Roman Emperor Frederick Barbossa??? By Jove... Barbarossa...
Shizzz... Someone a big fan of The Pirates of Caribbeans, eh?
Cheers!
I.
Few hundred years without Children, if that wasn’t A mistake please explain
If your bizarre Capitalization wasn't A mistake please explain
@@christocc lmao
He dedicated his energies into his longevity, not procreation. Therefore, without engaging in sexual activity, he was able to live for a protracted period of time. Think about it. Everyone who has participated in sexual activity has died, mostly at 100 years old or less.
Well too late for me I might as well just keep going
christopher caruana I took the text and it cuts me off sometimes and I start over the reason for the capitalization
TIS A FLESH WOUND
What? Nothing of the Knights Who Say Ni!?
I've come from a long list of Knights. It's my last name!
It's also my mother n laws maiden name.
What about Hotspur Harry? Sir Henry Percy definitely shoulda made the cut
In reality the chivalric values were universal for the entire continent and great battles and famous knights were everywhere not just the part west of center.
Simon FYI: "ñ" is pronounced as if one was pronouncing (in English) the letters "n" and "y" together.
4:12 "ruled for a couple of hundred years" WTF!!!! that is one hell of a mistake
Knights and gladiators are two different things...
BanNOCKburn. And did Guy de Lusignan really rule Cyprus for "a couple of hundred years"?
Hi Simon!
The Black Douglas is still a strong name, though I get confused with the Red Douglas 🤷♀️
I just watched a video of Simon's from a few weeks ago, clicking here and seeing such a bushy beard only minutes later is weird.
Is Douglas the crazy one out of Outlaw King?
Robert the Bruce is an amazing Scotch ale
What a gorgeous beard
Now you show me blinkist
At 4:10
Simon: "Ruled for a couple of hundred years..."
Me: What😱😱
Did Don Suero De Quiñones come away with just "a flesh wound"?
Yes yes he did just say that guy ruled for a couple hundred years wow so what was his secret to long life there Simon?
Is the map you have on your wall a map of Czech republic ?
"where he ruled for a couple hundred years before dying without an heir" - excuse me but a couple hundred years??
Did you say it 4 minutes and 14 seconds that he ruled for a couple hundred more years lol
It’s so stupid, but I’ve always wanted to earn a Knighthood.... for a US citizen married to dual citizen (US/BRIT) I will never have that chance....
As opposed to the Palm Sunday after Easter ???
Not to flex on anybody but one of my ancestors was a knight who served king Henry VIII (I think) and actually has a statue in a church. Somehow though I live in America and my family is broke af🤷🏻♂️😂 Here I am, English royalty and I’m barely scraping by working night shift in a warehouse lol
Did the person who wrote this script take it straight from a game of Crusader Kings 2?
"NONE SHALL PASS!" (it's only a flesh wound) At least you didn't mention the Knights who say.... (don't say it!)
