    Medieval Warrior Bishops Who Ditched The Robes for Armour...
    We usually expect a ‘turn the other cheek’ attitude from men of the cloth. But during the Middle Ages, there were quite a few holy men who ditched their priestly robes and pulpit preaching for full-body armour and battles. Let's travel back in time now and meet some of these hard-edged bishops who were happy to get personally involved in the fighting. Welcome to Medieval Madness
    00:00 Introduction
    01:34 Odo - Bishop of Bayeux
    04:15 Heahmund - Bishop of Sherbourne
    05:19 Phillippe de Dreux - Bishop of Beauvais
    06:23 Baldwin of Forde - Canterbury
    07:27 Henry le Despenser - Bishop of Norwich
    08:53 Adhémar de Monteil - Bishop of Puy-en-Velay
    10:16 Geoffrey of Montbray - Bishop of Coutances

    It must be said, this is the best combination of modern take on historical person place or things, and done in a engaging and factual manner. The narrative and person, who's voice makes the channel, is suburbe.
    I believe if given the chance, this quiet and tasteful channel will be found by someone who could bring the whole thing to a wider audience. Please don't.
    I, in no way, am not saying to not expand, just to NOT allow a " expert" to remove what's. Been built and enjoyed by very many fans.
    Thank you for all the work that goes into this wonderful channel.

    At about 6:35, during the piece on Baldwin of Forde, did I really hear you pronounce Worcester as, “War-chester”, in the same manner as one of my less knowledgable American countrymen might? I really hope that it’s just a niche regional British peculiarity, and not you mangling it, perhaps dumbing it down even, for the benefit of a largely American audience. That would be very disappointing. I’m correcting my friends and family on proper English geographic pronunciations all the time. If any of them ever mispronounce the suffix, ‘shire’, I immediately give them a dressing down, telling them, “It’s England, not Middle Earth, and unless something has drastically changed since my last visit, you will definitely not find any Hobbits there!”

    • @jamest2401
      @jamest2401 3 месяца назад

      It's just a general lack of knowledge and interest I think. He's reading a script written by someone else. In a clip about Columbus, he once pronounced the name of the ship Pinta as Piñata. Really showed his level that time.

      @@boogiesmell5181: I get that, but what confuses me, is that he’s a Brit, isn’t he, or am I just hallucinating? Any of the English that I’ve ever known, would never say such a thing, whether only tangentially connected to the information; whether disinterested in the story, or not. It’s only ever been “Wooster”, or maybe “Worse-ster”. It’s not Earth shattering for me, of course, just kinda baffling is all. From what the internet tells me, his name is James Wade. It says he is British, as if that weren’t already evident, and I believe I saw something connecting him to Cambridge, which if that’s accurate, makes it even more baffling. But as he also narrates the 'Walk the Plank' channel, perhaps others still, I doubt he’ll be taking the time for us to pick his brain here in the comment threads. If he weren’t dead, I’d say we hand it over to Robert Stack, because it’s likely to remain an unsolved mystery. Am I aging myself with that reference?😆
