@@simhess9720 In my language, and in German as well, we have a saying that directly translated would be like this: "Having double moral, is also a kind of moral" - it basically means that "having double standards is also a standard". And in that sense, they might have been moral! Ethical however, well, they might have had an ethical standard they followed, but it wasn't a good one - especially not by today's standards! Basically, if you look at how long lasting criminal organisations operate and imagine that they do so without any law enforcement to bother them - then you have the feudal system knights operated in. The local nobility were the crime bosses, the Knights were their henchmen, and the locals paid them for "protection" from getting pillaged and/or having their settlements burned to the ground. So yeah, thugs are basically the most correct description. The moral and ethical part, well, if you think the Cosa Nostra is moral and ethical, then sure...
I lived in Northamptonshire a local land owner at a big house had the title hereld the wake. Was known his family pissed off the Normans so much they were given the land. To behave.
I want to know the background to that amazing illustration of the giant rabbit beheading the thug of the first order. Thanks for this fascinating video!
Milo & Clotious? That can't be a coincidence, can it? I will never cease to be amazed by the things alluded to in cartoons. That is when/if I finally stumble upon the knowledge, if/when any number of winkwink nudgenudge finally make their mark. This is a perfect example of just how obscure the reference often is. & I'm not talking Simpsons or even loony toons. While I'm sure I miss a lot in those, innuendo is kind of their thing. Again, Milo & Otis , Milo & Clotious is a perfect example of what I mean.
Just after 7:05, Philippa of Hainault was the wife and Queen Consort of Edward III, the wife of Edward II, of course, being Isabella of France. I hope you have a proofreader; if not, hit me up.
fav part is most these guys did crazy shit and went on to live peacefully into elderhood. you just needed 50 guys ready to fuck shit up and you're basically el chapo.
The thumbnail is beautiful. I wonder how it would look if criminals and gangs started using swords, axes, and spears as weapons. Instead of guns and knives.
And when you're done, check out this badass: ruclips.net/video/EOaDYsmead4/видео.html

Agreed!!!
Imagine making a 12 minute video about history only for everyone to be more focus on the thumbnail lol
Where'd that thumbnail come from anyway?
@@RovingTrollfrom a madman
Yeah but also imagine having sick photoshop skillz everyone appreciated because they watched your history video 😎
he didn't make this photo himself@@sumonedum
You for it wrong. I just learnt 12 mins of history only because i wanted to comment on how good the thumbnail was.
Thine constables… Thine Constable despise me…
For I proclaim B, L, two-fold O, and D! Where art thou my Moors? Skeee on thy harlots!
Lol
Nice 😂
I like to think the person who made the thumbnail was cracking up the whole way through, continuously saying how much of a genius they are.
I am oblivious :/

There is story behind it or is it just some "gang-sign"?👀ツ
Haa khoni
@@Montana.Of.Assyria shlama ❤️

@@Hecarim420 If you look at the fingers it kinda looks like "blood", for the bloods gang. It's basically just absurb humor.
The Holy Crips!
The bloody bloods! 😂
😂
That thumbnail made my day 😄😄😄
Love how the men being stabbed by assailants on all sides, one stabbing him in the head are smiling in that painting.
Came here to make this exact comment
"Oh bother; it appears I hath been pierced. Verily, embarrassing t'will be to be so sanguinely spoil'd, forsooth!"
Their probably smiling because they are the stabber and not the stabbed. 😂
@@illusive1181 the one being killed was smiling
The town of Ely is pronounced "eely" like eel with a y. It took me several seconds to realize what "Ellie" was.
And Evesham isn't Eversham. it's like Eevshum.
Not a single video without butchering the pronunciation 😄
As someone who grew up near Ely, MN, I can vouch for this 😉
Yes! I was shouting “Eely” by the fourth rep
I wish I could get that picture from somewhere for my phone background
Me too💀
You could screen shot the thumbnail and crop it
see if it works fella i3.ytimg.com/vi/Ni7LiWOzo1s/maxresdefault.jpg

Why, you a slob?
Thumbs up, saved to watch again, and shared. The stories are great but the thumbnail dude. SO good.

The Gangs of Medieval Europe
The Peasants Squad

The Real Roman Empire
Frenchies Only / No English allowed
The King Henrys
the pope squad lol
kind of reminds of a classic simpsons episode "the christ punchers"
Basically all knights were a bunch of thugs…
Very ethical and moral thugs.

"Thug of the First Order" sounds badA$$
The thumbnail has me SCREAMING . Haha
I lived in Northamptonshire a local land owner at a big house had the title hereld the wake. Was known his family pissed off the Normans so much they were given the land. To behave.

Okay but why does the thumbnail actually go so hard 😂
I just spit Big Red all over my tablet laughing at that thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
Hands down best thumbnail ever!
S tier thumbnail.
I want to know the background to that amazing illustration of the giant rabbit beheading the thug of the first order. Thanks for this fascinating video!
Did anyone else notice @8:50 that 'Fulk' (as in Fitzwarin) written in Old English script looks like a completely different word! 😅
Ely, lovely place but pronounced Eely.
That has got to be one of the greatest thumbnails ive ever seen

Lol @ 'The Most Dangerous Man in Essex' he must have been well hard
I'd like to learn about gangs of ancient rome too, that'd be cool :)
Howd you even make that thumbnail lol I know Midjourney can’t do that shit
Sounds like 2024. Nothing ever changes except the names of the criminals.
Edward the II was married to Isabelle of France not Phillapell. Edward the III was.
We need an award for best youtube thumbnail, because heres the winner.
Just after 7:05, Philippa of Hainault was the wife and Queen Consort of Edward III, the wife of Edward II, of course, being Isabella of France. I hope you have a proofreader; if not, hit me up.
Shiiiiiiiiet, Sire
Please do a video on mideval drifters and beggars.

That is the most amazing thumbnail I've ever seen. Well done.
Hahaha that fuckin tumbnail is awesome, keep up the good work.
I only clicked because I saw a sister throwing up blood LOL
So, the European medieval Tojo Clan and Shimano Clan? I’d love to see a medieval European Majima, or maybe not.
weeaboo discovers organized crime
fav part is most these guys did crazy shit and went on to live peacefully into elderhood. you just needed 50 guys ready to fuck shit up and you're basically el chapo.
To be honest, in medieval Europe, the line between “bandit gangs” and “governing authorities” was not very strong.
I saw the thumbnail and instantly thought of Hildegard von Blingin'
Most people won't get it.
Thumbnail is legendary 😂😂🤣
We been knew Mother Teresa was about that life
"How did they get away with it?".....Same way they do today ;)
