Thank you for watching! If you want us to cover a particular person or event from history, let us know!
How about John Merrick?? The "elephant man"?
PLEASE cover Australian woman Katherine Knight...makes you shudder...a rare case indeed.
Can you do a video on the hot air balloon duel that happened in Paris in 1808? It's just such a crazy story. 😉
How bout Katy Batts? My relative through marriage. Aka the bell witch :)
Mad Anthony Wayne or Von Steuben? No matter what the topic, I know you will put a fascinating spin on it!
This really has me thinking.. Back then there was no DNA & people were able to just leave town and create new identities easily so it's really hard to tell who did what and how many crimes were committed & never discovered and also how many babies were born from affairs that nobody ever suspected. There never has been a dull moment on Planet Earth.
Ahh you got that part right Never a Dull Moment
Right! Makes me thankful for the technology we have today, though!
in some cultures in the past, the maternal uncles often had a big role in his neices/nephews lives as he couldnt be sure of his offspring’s lineage but he would know that his sister’s kids would be related to him.
That’s why people tend to believe that serial killers are a recent phenomena. They aren’t. We just didn’t have the resources to catch them before.
I know! Can you imagine being able to just leave town and being like, I think I’m going to change my name, age and complete history lol AND NO ONE WILL KNOW
Imagine your loved one went missing and the next time you saw them their head was on a pike in the square
The wife going.. nope. Not seeing a resemblance.
My husband wasn’t that tall. Lol.
Their head on a fish!?
That’s crazy hey , what a era …
@@fangslaughter1198 🤣😂🤣
Considering they did not have photography, etc., there were only limited ways to trying to identify a victim. They could have just buried and made no effort. It was only for identification, not as part of a criminal punishment. While I agree, it was horrible, some times people never know what happened to their loved one.
We think of people from those times as sophisticated because the majority of literature that came down to us was about the upper classes. This is because only the upper classes could read and afford books. Dickens changed this and wrote for and about the Everyman (those who could read) in cheap serialized magazine format.
And we thought they weren't as sexual.
@@wakh9647 They weren't as openly sexual
Well there wasn't as much porn 😂
The show Deadly Women sometimes features cases from way back when, and let me tell you there were A LOT of shocking ridiculousness going on back then.
Exactly, great insight!!!🙏👍😷
Killing someone is unthinkable but sleeping with your own child now that is deeply disgusting!
So, in your view Alabama shouldn't exist? 😁
@@andredeketeleastutecomplex Does this actually happen in Alabama, specifically? 😟
@@RachelD386 Yes
Well, in mitigation, they probably didn't know.
Sounds like salacious gossip to sell papers. There was little to no way to keep records to prove that. If he was from an orphanage he must have been her child, right? She was a promiscuous woman so she must have knowingly committed incest, right? There was absolutely no way for anyone to prove or disprove that allegation back then but also there was no point trying because a female husband murderer was the worst you could get and she was literally going to burn for it. The murder sounds plausible but all of the reports about her sex life sound invented to create sales. To be taken with a major pinch of salt.
Don’t know why this came up on my feed, is a common refrain that I read. But I’m glad it did it was fascinating and I’m gonna dig in for some more.
Hi Winnie, how are you doing?
I was happy to see it popped up for me as well! I just subscribed.
Turn to Jesus Christ it's the most important
Me too
You misused a comma when a sentence had an excellent rhyme.
The way in which you used a comma, was not one that is ever acceptable.
Can you please cover, just how unique of a case "Mary Bell was?" She was so young yet showed such signs of evil.. it's a creepy story. Even her picture is creepy and she was a kid, like out of a horror movie.
Good shout!
She's still alive today :(
She was evil out of the womb!!!
She got away with it till 53 years? Oh my
She has children of her own, I hope someone kept an eye on them
This woman is so awful, both Jerry Springer and Doctor Phil want to schedule her as a guest.
🤣🤣🤣
Her name was on hell's list but the devil decided she was too bad for hell.....
Here comes Steve Wilkos with the chair
Hell put her on Maury too 🙄
@@gummieworms3909 She's going on Rickie Lake
Discovered you today and absolutely loving the content and delivery.
Same!!
Me too..☺..!!
Me,too...Feb.23,2022.
also me. This chap is great. These stories are superb
And I as well! You treat these bizarre subjects with great restraint and proper respect, when due. Your accent and delivery don't hurt, either. Well done across the board!
Since I started reading psychology books nothing surprises me anymore. It's all in the head. Nothing more important than learning and understanding our brain and hormonal activity.
Imagine the day when people embrace this notion. So many people seem to think it takes away from the human spirit and makes it seem as if people are just machines
“Who, handily for things to come, was a butcher”
Me: 😳
Am I the only one who never thought that the people before us were more civilized than us?
They were just brutes in fancy clothes, if you ask me.
Man this is a great channel. Thanks for all the hard work to give us quality and macabre tales
Without sensationalizing the macabre - not an easy task.
I like your style. Very much your own. Thank you for bits of history 🤗
Thanks for the great videos, I'm really enjoying them! It feels like just having a cup of tea with a historian and listening to some interesting true stories =)
Wow, a Georgian-era story of Oedipus.
I love your voice, it’s so calming even though the story is dark :)
Thanks very much, another truly fascinating history. I'm amazed that burning at the stake wasn't abolished until 1790, a truly barbarous punishment.
You also have to keep in mind though that from 1700 onwards almost always the woman was hanged until death before her body was then burnt, sometimes that could go wrong this being the last case it did, every execution by burning after this point the woman was dead by the time she was burnt.
Thank you sir for this wonderfully done video! It excites me to see elders online, we can learn so much from you! Id love to hear any stories you’d like to share with us
What’s your interests? How did you start this channel? :)
Thank you! I might have to do a Q&A video at some point. A couple of quick answers though. I started another channel a few years back and had fun with that but the content was restrictive so I decided to start this one to share more varied stories from history. My interests are pretty varied so i'll save that for the video ;)
Hey Elise, I realise that your profile pic is a female winter Soldier right? True marvel fan here boys
Sir, the button is checked from the get-go, I know this story teller is very good and the tale is too! Thank you for the great memories.
Wonderful story telling and an excellent voice for narration. A new favourite channel!
Thank you. Very professional and interesting production,
LOVE HISTORY! Hated it as a kid but love it now. Enjoyed listening.
Absolutely shocking end, thank heavens for that hit on her head. Horrors. Your videos are so watchable and wonderful, I don’t always comment but I watch regularly. Great work, lm sharing your channel with friends.❤️
Not sure if I think that or not - I wonder if her husband was actually dead before they started cutting off his head! There may have been a higher reason that rope broke.
How is anyone feeling any pity for such a monster?
How did Catherine and her lover/son find out they were mother and son?
Probably asked in trial, where he from, who's his parent and everything.
He grew up so someone Probably took care of him and told him he was found in that church on that same day and same year
Did a Dna test on Jeremy Kyle show 😂
I just found this channel and I love it.
Ditto!!
I use to believe people became evil overtime. But your videos prove me wrong. People were more monstrous back then, and more of them.
What a great storyteller.
Let me get this, if you're a woman and you kill your husband, that's worse than a husband killing his wife. For no other reason but a woman simply being lesser than a man. Let that sink in.
That was the standard 200+ years ago and back then men were still considered to be in total control no matter what spot they held in society. Women were always consider the property of their father or their husband. They had no rights, no property or money remained theirs, if they married they were required to come with a substantial "dowery"/amount of money. If the husband no longer wanted the wife around he could kick her out and keep the children because they were his property. Same thing if the woman left - she had to leave her children behind. The husband could, at his whim, have the wife committed to the asylum for any reason, such as drinking too much tea. Women have had a tough row to hoe throughout time in most societies and some still do.
Let's keep in mind, all the way through the Victorian age, it was common practice for commoners (at least) to carve off pieces of hanged "villains" to take home as souvenirs after a public execution. There were even periods the bodies were displayed post-mortum... AND it was relatively common that pieces were added to broths, stews, or soups... and consumed.
It comes from a much older belief that by consuming an "enemy" (be it human or animal) you could steal that enemy's strengths... in part or whole, depending on the amount eaten and just how "powerful" it was supposed to be...
There are still murmurings of VERY draconian ideals that occasionally (at least) wax and wane in society at large... BUT we are in about the most peaceful and relatively the safest time of all human history... even as easily as we can describe society today as "a shambles"...
Let THAT sink in. ;o)
exactly
lol the sleeping with her kid is made up by the haters. Yes it was brutal how she murdered her husband, but she repaid it with a harsh punishment.
Was he innocent though? Nope. He did abuse her and did kill her son. But of course he had power and she didn’t and he was a man. Sometimes people tend to take matters into their own hands.
TBH if anyone try to harm my own kid, trust me I ain’t gonna let karma do it deeds I will handle it myself and will turn myself in and own up to it. I will the one tell my own story.
Just found your channel literally 11mins ago. Good story telling loved it.sw🏴👍
Am so happy I found this channel it’s so different to any channel I’ve watched love history and love mystery such good tellings of the stories and so well portrayed and facts only approach is brilliant
What a pleasant discovery this channel.
Good work
EVERY single vid i gotta pause n look up a word... But I Love doing that n learning new words n such!!! So thank you for that as well!!! U do great vids! 👍🏻👍🏻
You know, when I was much younger I promised myself that any book that I started to read I would finish, no matter how boring it was, but there was one I could not finish. It was "Through a Glass Darkly" it takes place in the era when women could not own property. This girl, about fifteen went out every day with her father to take care of the tenants on the land and to see what she could do to help improve the land. She fell in love with the estate and became determined to rule the estate through the auspices of her father whom she quickly seduced. Now she could make the changes she felt best for their land. If the father did not fall in line then she threatened to tell her mother that her father was sexually molesting her. Time goes by, her brother who couldn't give a damn about the estate walks in on her father and her when they are at it. The father sees him and immediately has a heart attack from which he does not recover. The son inherits the estate and the girl promptly seduces him and discovers that her brother has a penchant for S and M. So she gives him what he wants and continues to run the estate. That is when I threw the book away.
I didn't make it that far. Just until she seduced dad, mine went bye bye as well..
@@Elizabeth-nt7uq I'm glad I wasn't the only one repulsed by this story.
Whew, that book sounds anything but “boring”! Gross, improbable and overwrought but never 💤‼️‼️😳
🤢🤢🤢 So gross.
EEEWW! UGH! GAG! VOMIT IS COMING! What a hideous plot on a book, NO THANKS, not even curious
Love this channel, very polished. You deserve way more viewers. Stay safe. Panama here
In 1789 when people when the last judicial burning took place, the great writer of civilised romances, Jane Austen, was 13. It's hard to believe. I wonder if she heard about it in her Hampshire vicarage home.
You have such quality content, I love your videos!
fantastic story telling. I'm a fan , thank for your efforts. looking forward to more.
I sent that to a friend of mine whose last name happens to be Hayes. And he always says he’s from England
I'd watch him, carefully.. 😁😏😮
When I don't hand in my vet science paper in on time the cute animals will blame you Paul. Keep up the most excellent work Paul. 🤨
It seems a particularly disturbing way to spend an afternoon ,watching a human being legally burnt in front of a mob , the irony of a platform breaking under the weight and killing some of the bloodthirsty audience is darkly ironic.
You call the audience bloodthirsty but it could be interpreted that way only through a modern lens. Back then the people may just have put more weight on justice. For she wasn't an innocent woman and considering what she did well you know
Very interesting and informative! This channel is great!
Absolutely your a very good story teller loved it
This was a good one. I really like this channel
Just came across this channel 😀 It's brilliant...love it!!!
Just bumped into your channel today and goodness gracious i am hooked on your delivery and tone... the ending to this one is quite something though. Phew!
DON'T BE A CATHERINE FOLKS or a Karen for that matter........
This is my favourite new RUclips channel
This is so sad! Just heart breaking! Poor Fanny ❤️❤️❤️😢😢😢
I enjoy these videos, the stories are well told. However, I'm skeptical of the truth as portrayed.
Women who enjoyed sex were routinely vilified.
Men were allowed, even encouraged, to beat their wives.
We have really no proof as to what happened, except that the men trying to save themselves claimed it was all her doing. Maybe she did, but even now people are known to confess to things they haven't done... who knew what methods were used to get all of those confessions. And maybe she was telling the truth about him being cruel to her; it didn't sound like he wanted to be married to her from the start.
Going on and on about how lustful and improper she was just feels too typical of how women have historically been denigrated to undermine their credibility. Likewise, the incest part of the story reads like sensationalism to demonize her to the masses.
Like... you're telling me that at a time when the only way to identify the dead person was to mount his head on a pike in a public square, they were able to determine without doubt that the man she'd been having an affair with was her son, abandoned in infancy?
To everyone saying "in trial they must have asked where he came from!" ...yeah. Definitely there was only the one baby abandoned and left at that church. And we Definitely knew exactly when she abandoned her baby, because she would have been sharing that information freely. It would certainly have been common knowledge she was even pregnant. 🙄
Exactly !!!! Also was a common a practice for men in the past to say witches to women that didnt do as they asked .... has always been hard to be a woman but before was even worse
This comment is spot on, and very well said! 👍
Playing devil's advocate here: Perhaps the young man bore such a resemblance to the husband/father that they determined it that way. It doesn't appear that the other child accompanied them to London from what was said. Still.
There weren’t as many people back then & they didn’t move around as much & everybody knew everybody.
love the way you tell the story, thank you
Yes very good narration and a really nice flow. The art of story telling is not dead. No time wasting but a nice relaxed feeling. Could listen to you all night. Thank you Sir.
What a fabulous discovery this channel is. I listen to MrBallens stories and they are brill but I do prefer to listen to a British voice if given the option.
Brutal death !
The good old days don't kill them like they used to 😜
In the 21st century, for certain acts such as terrorism cruelty followed by death, it’s return is worthy of consideration….perhaps. The Manchester bombings spring to mind. Any one have a match?
Another great video thank you
Thank you for another fascinating story.
Brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed, would love it if you would do something on the massacre at GlenCoe in 1692.
Great channel!! Greetings from Colombia 😊👍🏻
As I sit here drinking my Tea in one of the safest countries on earth (England), I sit and think about how my not so distant ancestors were one affair away from being burnt at the stake... This place used to be so brutal, this is why we should thank our ancestors for the freedoms they fought for.
Australia is also very safe. 🇦🇺
It’s kind of hard to lavish praises on your videos, considering the subject matter is on the heavy side & I’m always left pensive, but your videos are excellent and I love your channel.
@Well, I Never Just when I thought I'd heard, read, and seen it all...here you come with this mind-blowing case study to cause a second think. After being an obsessed true-crime aficionado for 35+ years, I can say without hesitation, "Well, I never!" Thank you for an excellent episode. Cheers!
These are very well presented.
A dark case from the past seamlessly presented.
Good god! Where do you find these stories? Impressive research.
The thorough, and descriptive history of a people with deeply depressing crap lives.
Wow Paul, good story. Many thanks.
As usual well, i never, a brilliantly told story.
I found you by complete accident, but I’m really enjoying your history lessons! 🙏
Sub'd from Independence Missouri USA 🇺🇸 That is a crazy story! I'll be looking at your other videos! Thanks
Never knew they still burnt folks to death as late as the 1790s, thought that practice died out long before.
They burned traitors. Killing your husband was seen as petty treason, and hanging women was seen as undignified (!) So burning them was better...
They would hang them and burn the body usually
Just found your channel and fell in love! So I subbed!
Thank you!
Great story teller
You can't make this up! How gruesome! Catherine was definitely a psychopath and highly manipulative! She had no feelings whatsoever. Wait, the head was dumped in the Thames, but I thought they were living in Warwickshire! What??!!
Really enjoying this channel! Thanks for the content.
you relate very interesting cases without making them lurid, just stating the facts, which you have researched beyond reporting that which was not true. i really appreciate this a lot. so thanks very much.
one case i do often wonder about was Lizzie Borden, but i doubt we’ll ever really know especially the psychological state of her mind. her situation has probably been researched to death (did i intend a silly pun or was it just the best phrase? LOL)
btw - i absolutely love your whiskers - i love it when guys go beyond the boring norm. and you look great. :) 😼
What a story! You are a great storyteller.
Bloody hell that was insane, thank you ☺️ great tid bit of history so well brought to life really enjoyed it
Thank you for telling the story ☺️👍
Amazing story teller ❤️
just found your chanel❤ love it ! 😀
Good narration in a clear, lively manner.
Thanks for that
Great channel, really well researched content, new subscriber here
What in the mutton chops channel have I stumbled upon here?
Subbed.
What an evil woman, having s3x with her own child, knowing he is the child they abandoned, then involving that abandoned son in killing his, most likely, own father and causing him to be sentenced to death. Sick!
In this case, I'm not sure burning was such a bad punishment. She likened her husband to no better than a dog or cat, which shows she actually didn't care for any life, human or animal. She had zero morals and used everyone around her, like a true sociopath.
lol the sleeping with her kid is made up by the haters. Yes it was brutal how she murdered her husband, but she repaid it with a harsh punishment.
Was he innocent though? Nope. He did abuse her and did kill her son. But of course he had power and she didn’t and he was a man. Sometimes people tend to take matters into their own hands.
TBH if anyone try to harm my own kid, trust me I ain’t gonna let karma do it deeds I will handle it myself and will turn myself in and own up to it. I will the one tell my own story.
Oh..Ohhwh...That..That was indeed an unpleasant yet interesting tale...
I feel sorry for the children she left behind.
But they probably faired better without her.
I don't she was a monster, I am glad for the children that escaped
I'm kind of surprised no one made an Oedipus reference in regards to the son 😱
I can kind of believe kathrine and billings finding out he was her son. I didnt see me dad after my birth but a man approached me as i was commuting to college on the bus and i immediately knew it was him. It was crazy.
'We live in a decaying age. Young people no longer respect their parents. They are rude and impatient. They frequently inhabit taverns and have no self-control.' was written on a tomb in Egypt in 6000 BC. Nothing changes, people have always been convinced they live in an age that is worse than their grandparents, because that is long enough for the bad stuff to be forgotten and the good stuff to have novelty.
There were “taverns” in Ancient Egypt?
Can't decided what's worse, the crime or the punishment.
Ok …I know what she did was cold and wrong but burning someone at the stake much less watching it is just ghoulish 🤢
What a fantastic storyteller. Fascinating
I’m so addicted to this channel
I never look back and say people were more refined. The lack of bathing, incest, and slavery kept me from thinking highly of them.
I'm thinking that river was pretty disgusting in those days.
The historic remake of Oedipe's story?
Just found your channel. I LOVE it!! And absolutely the finest mustaches EVER. Carry on with more videos. Thanks.
