Divorce by COMBAT: The Medieval Way of Ending a Marriage...

- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Saint Augustine’s ideal of the unbreakable marriage dominated the Middle Ages. By the late medieval period the marriage vows contained the phrase ‘till death do us part’, emphasizing the seriousness of the commitment that was being made. And it certainly was serious! In today's episode of Medieval Madness, we will be exploring divorce in the middle ages, as well as taking a look at the story behind Ridley Scott's newest film The Last Duel, starring Adam Driver, Matt Damon and Jodie Comer.

Love the humor. "Got that." Knowing well that we are thinking. "WHAT?" that's very specific
It timed perfectly with the audible gust of air that left my nostrils... which as we all know is translated through Internet as a 10 character long capital LOOOOOOOOL
All of the seriousness and violence of this aside 🤷♂️ You have to admit that story about the guy who got revenge for his wife in front of everyone 💯 that was pretty epic
yeah Ridley Scott made a movie about it. The last duel
Absolutely, he was a giga Chad for sure 💯💯
Yeah, it did seem to hint in the film that the missus may have been telling porkies so…….🤔
And became a knight 😂
I got a hunch that if that would be an option to a normal trial, this would still be highly popular today...
Medieval period: no equal rights but equal fights
Correct 100%
13:35 I've never rooted this hard for a historical figure
every time I watch one of these videos, I realize how lucky I am that I was not born during that time! this shit is bananas
ba-na-nas
No joke! Geez! lol
Aurora Wolfe! Whats your instagram?
A better question would be: what were you doing in past lives around this time?
If something traumatic enough did happen, there's a chance you'd remember.
Maybe try some regression and see what turns up.
Yeah. I don’t know why till death do us part is still in marriage though when it’s changed feelings or love for another that easily ruins children’s chance at a two parent household. the kids suffer now being used as leverage to control, told that daddy ain’t shit and at the same time has to listen to step dad carl. Such a better time now!
Um, they thought virgins could not pee? How exactly did anyone who grew up with any younger sisters manage to believe such a thing?
@@DeepestQuotesAnd Nah, the dueling expert guy was actually onto something.
I believe it was specifically "on command", not just peeing only when you needed to go.
@@ttttttttp2 sshhhhhhh
@@DeepestQuotesAnd female vs man? why not woman vs male?🤔
uh the only possible explanation i can think of isn't very positive at all....people getting pregnant at a young age by someone? ....
We should settle a divorce by appointing lawyers as champions.
The lawyers would fight to the death in a pit. The winner's client gets all the money.
At least we would have less lawyers.
Win-win, really.
Lawyers are what save us from the avarice and cruelty of people with more money and or power. They literally protect the rule of law. This guy thinks the Sacklers are just some innocent business-people. Can't send any Lawyers after them cus Lawyers are the bad guys, not the people creating a nation of people with addiction problems. (Which is true, opiate addiction is directly related to supply. The more supply = the more substance use disorders) *gets off soapbox* Pologies about that.
Tho I would kill for an opportunity to battle the sacklers one by one in trial by combat
@@SuperMrHiggins Uh, usually rich people have better lawyers.
@@Martin_Daniel yeah imagine the other guy hires THE ROCK as his lawyer😂
Who else was rooting for Jean to beat the crap out of whatever-his-name-is?
I was, he was trying to defend his wife's honour. I'm glad that r4pist got the gibbet.
@@ariadneschild8460 idk what a gibbet is but it sounds painful so im glad he got it too.
@@greatpower6063 a gibbet is a cage designed to make a body stand up after execution.
@RubyTwoBears riiiiiight.. and that‘s why he kissed and promised to return to her, later on tightly embracing her after almost having been killed in combat.
sure. he saw her as nothing but his property.
I usually listen to these videos as an "audiobook" but when I do watch, the clips and pictures you guys choose are brilliant, the cat being touched as euphemism for examination down there and the guy hiding dressed up as a bush idk it's funny thanks for making me smile
You guys have become one of my favourite channels!! I love learning about the medieval era!
I'd reconsider the statement regarding horses and bride price. A horse was not even remotely 'trivial'. It may seem so in the contemporary context. A trained destrier is roughly the equivalent of a Bugatti Veyron. The majority of people travelled on foot and via waterways, so a horse is serious coin and an important status symbol for the recipient.
Imagine the king rolling up in his horse Lamborghini
The Veyron is the old model. The newer more expensive Bugatti is the Chiron.
The Last Duel was such a good movie. I’m saddened that it didn’t do well at the box office. I think it’s in part to it not being advertised as best as it should’ve been.
I felt the same, it seemed really realistic and it was a feminist Movie that was not ridiculous Hollywood nonsense
Just imagine the PPV revenue that could be generated by televising, streaming, and selling tickets to Mortal Divorce Kombat...and if Michael Buffer isn't ring announcer that would be such a missed opportunity.
"Lllllet's get ready to rrrumblllllle!" 😄
The original Star Trek series tackled combat on tv in “Bread and Circuses.”
Why aren't we making prisoners sentenced to death fight each other? Winner gets to live.
"Women would be asked to urinate on demand because it was wrongfully thought that women could not perform this bodily function if their hymen was still there."
Woman 1: "Wait, they thinketh we womenfolk cannot -"
Woman 2: "Shhhhhh, that which they doth not know can nary harmeth them."
i can't imagine having to hold in going to the bathroom around a bunch of dumb dudes who thought women didn't pee if they were virgins. xD And i thought the "women don't fart" memes were dumb. The male half of society has not improved at all. Same shit different year.
@@greatpower6063 Lol. Kinda easy to claim you are a virgin. I mean, just don't pee on demand to prove it. But that's nonsense anyhow. Then again those assumptions were probably born in some monk's head and written down at a monastery for all we know - and he had likely been left to grow up at a monastery around about 7 years old - so what the hell did he know. Just one more of the religious nonsense thought up by men who weren't necessarily that knowledgeable about the way things work anyhow. Not that there wasn't a lot of monks visiting the local whores too. But I suspect that it may have been a bit different sort of a man who would have written all those things they then put in writing about women and those who just decided to 'have fun' per say.
There’s really men out there (and men who have lived before them) who think women pee out of our vaginas
Oh so the "you can't get pregnant from rape" is literally a medieval thing.
@throwaway ah, I see.
...well, it was until 2022 in America, that is.
Soon to be coming to a Red State near you.
It would be better if a mother could abort their child up to the age of 18
It's interesting how America has begun to adopt a medieval mindset, with a little 18th century sprinkled in here and there.
I have that book that has these treaties. It was a trip to see how disputes were settled. They made a show of it.
I can see why they made a movie about that intriguing piece of history now. Fascinating stuff.
3rd or so vid of yours and of the medieval channels i tried, you're diamond. I have an extensive period series to write, the longest of any of my medieval stories and found me a bounty of information.
SUBBED.
"Till Death Do Us Part...LITERALLY"
well, Yes....It was never not literal.
Your videos are always a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the great work!
I don't remember any record mentioning any actual judicial duel with a woman fighting. It was much more likely for a woman to bring a champion and these techniques shown in codex were mostly speculative. Not to mention a married couple fighting to death like this sounds pretty far fetched even for medieval times.
NEVER underestimate the ability of midevil authority to be total MORONS
NEVER underestimate the ability of midevil authority to be total MORONS
What doesn't seem far fetched in medieval times though? 😁
This was very intriguing and strang to learn about!
I can't stop laughing about the duels between a man and a woman.
lol it wouldn't be entertaining unless you could have hot grits on the sidelines to throw in a dude's face xD.
It’s more like personal matter
Hitting a man in the balls ought to do it! 🤣
So much for trans “women” in physical competition against women today… The medievals had a more realistic perception of things in this regard than many people alive today.
The woman always drew the short straw. There was no way she could win in any of the scenarios mentioned.
If a women could maintine good standing with her male relatives she could get them to win for her at least.
Woman: I want a divorce
Man: Fine but I want the ye olde dog and the ye olde bookes.
Woman: Over my dead body
Ye Olde Wiz and Boomstick: It's time for a divorce baaattleeeee.
I went back and forth between cackling and going "WTF!?" like a yo-yo....
Fantastic job! It was very interesting indeed. Love the way you structure and present information.
The rooster and the cat though 😂😂
In Britain, it's known as a cock.
Interesting video--subscribed. :)
As always this one was awesome,
These are so good
Imagine, defending your wife's honor with your lives on the line and coming out victorious. What a feeling that must have been. Kudos to the French power couple!
I love this channel, it’s so funny
The use of rooster and cat clips 🤣🤣🤣
This is why I pursued a degree in Humanities, useless as it seems now. However, Humanities is so different from simply history. Humanities is a peek into the way people thought at certain points in history. Thank you for the very intelligent and fascinating posts.
I appreciate the cat being shown after referencing women getting their genitalia checked 😂 I can't believe how wild and hardcore things were back in the day.
Nice vid
10:10 I was listening to this without watching and I was like "wtf is a judicial jewel?"
"Justice by combat". Nice, my culture of origin works like that.
If I can find a woman who can beat me one in one I'd marry her, but I doubt she'd accept my offer, as she'd find someone who could better her...:(
I see this making a comeback
I am highly shocked that rape was a crime, even tho they didn’t have all the facts right about rape I’m shocked that it was not just considered the woman’s fault and her just getting murdered back in those times.
Of course it was sex between the unmarried was frowned upon as the sin it is.
Sex for pleasure was a bigtime no no
It wasn't as bad for women in the past as modern feminists have lead people to believe. They pick and choose the worst examples throughout the world, and pretend it was that way everywhere, until feminism was created.
Our actual history is much more diverse, taking place over thousands of years, across many different countries, and cultures. While there were negatives for both men and women, overall there was an attempt made to be fair.
It's a commandment so it's there by default.
@@MrHotSalsa there is no commandment against rape in the ten commandments unless you count the "do not covet" which is a stretch.
16:18 the weak should fear the strong.
Took me a moment to figure out why there was footage of a cat being pet.... XD
I really really love these lil documentaries about life in these times!!! So I have started to slowly buy n collect gold. I started at 1 gram about 3 months ago. Now have 8 grams gold and 1 ounce silver with two lil extra bars one 5gram one 10gram. So one and a half ounces of silver and only 8 grams gold. What would this be worth in these times please? Can I buy a loaf of bread or a house? Maybe a horse? It would be super cool to know please mate
*Master of MARITAL KOMBAT*
Works for me.
Looks like we are going back to those days.
12 years old....that's disgusting.
My dude, while I totally agree - are you unaware that this practice continues to this day in some cultures?
well when life expectancy is only about 30 it makes more sense. being a certain age is also somewhat arbitrary when it comes to nature and how that works.
if you are going to say I'm some sort of weirdo then prove what I said to be untrue.
@@wades623 life expectancy wasn't actually that low, its just and average of all deaths that gets dragged down a lot by the high rate of infant mortality. Anyone who reached 5 was probably going to live to old age.
If you feed people enough that is not biologically wrong but is very stone age, when people may not expect long life. In hindsight, gross. The logic is there but ewww, nasty
this shits just so wild I can't imagine it being real. HAS to be some sort of mediviel joke or circus or something.
Pretty much the same as what happens now. I'm so glad I never got married. I shed the occasional tear for some who did. 🤣
Ouch. I got married. No pit fighting yet though.
Took me a while to get why you was showing someone petting a cat at 6:38.
6:30 If you still couldn't get it up in that situation. There really might be something wrong with you. (What the heck is wrong with me? Lmao. XD)
I didn't realize that there was any other way to go about divorce proceedings. 🤔
It's a Roman Catholic Madness.
Im glad that man avenged his wife. Beautiful
Divorce became legal were i live(damned Chile) on by the end of the 2000's .
How's that for contemporary medieval?we're so lame god damn
MMMmMMARITAL COMBAAAT!
Good Lord! Could you imagine someone from this time having to go back to that time and be in there with all this strict crap or someone from that time being brought into our entitled world where we just do whatever we want!?!?! Either way would be crazy! I’m so glad I live in the time that I do and not any earlier or actually even later because I think the future’s gonna be just crazy And even more stuff will be monitored like you won’t be able to pee without someone knowing about it in the future
There's a book based on this idea
There sounds like so many laws and rules for people to follow back then. Did the common peasant even really know all these laws or what their rights and options were back then?? Or were most of them unaware of the nuances involved??
You should check out the channel modern history. They talk about medieval peasant life in more depth it wasn't as entirely bad as this guy is making out in his videos.
it was most likely just being told over time what to do and not to do
I guess it would be just like us : they would know the most common laws, and specialized clercs/judges knew about more obscure ones.
Here is where the high class people are
Interesting that presented this so one-sidedly, as if the male peasant was free to do as he pleased, or the male aristocrat wasn't as bound to the rules of marriage-treaty as the female...
I will present this hint, and nothing more, love as the motive of marriage is a privilege suitable to times when technology relieves _both_ the male partner of the risks of his role and the female the toil of hers. When his life is nothing but labor, and hers also nothing but labor... the survivability and compatibility of each takes precedent.
No wonder my very religious first wife kept dreaming that I would die…. It was her escape route while maintaining her faith.
I actually really like this idea ...
Hence forth whenever someone is talking shit about me I will refer to it as "King Shaming". LoL 🤣🤣🤣
ahh... good old days
Is she a battle axe or using one.
Life is much better today
So true, that's why the depression and suicide rates are waaaay higher now, because life is good now, makes sense.
4.55 dare to show American coins on a medieval history channel
2:58
So apparently women don't pee until they lose their virginity? I know women don't poop but now this too? 🤯
Yea it realy is once all Ur energy has been. Sold they then sell what's left of you
The pit battle would be my undoing, my (soon to be ex) wife is taller than I am and on top of that I have short arms for my height. Probably still better than getting a divorce ha ha
Good ol' days.
7:04 wtflmao
What? What is king shaming? I may need to king shame someone, for that I’ll need to know what that means.
at least they did not have to suffer Tax extortion by the IRS....
Dhar mann is going to make a video inspired by this
Good grief...🤦♀️
Imagine how many husbands and wives wouldn't be in jail for life if we just allowed this here and there
That’s how u know they wasn’t juss pickin anyone
Instead of canceling all duel in the court they should have started charging admission to the fights.
So ...Not being able to pee with the hymen intact? Weird thought, even for back then 🙈
4:27 male and female mules?
A literal battle of the sexes. lol
"don't kink shame the peasants of the Middle Ages in the comments section"
Aww, no fun
I wish my hubby could have slew the dragon that’s his ex!
The Black Death was the best thing that happened to midevil people
Sounds to me like, as usual, the people of the medieval era were far more based than we are today.
I sold my daughters off in exchange for new caravan.
Those Christians are always making up rules. 😂
It is interesting to note st Augustine was responsible for the Catholic objections to divorce what she believed is not terribly important he had no direct contact with Jesus and he was not a mistake hundreds of years after Jesus my opinion is better than his many respects as I have received revelation from God when I was a child which led me to believe divorce is permissible and so is polygamy
1 Corinthians 7 makes it clear your partner cannot refuse sex that being female or male in the relationship, holy Bible.
15 minutes of filler and 90 seconds of describing divorce by combat - thumbs down.
Complete and utter bs
?
Elaborate then
