6 Examples of What Medieval Royalty Did for Fun During the Middle Ages...

- In the Middle Ages how much leisure time a person had would depend heavily upon their social status. Because they had such a favoured position in life, and many servants to fulfill their every need, medieval royalty had lots of free time that they could just fritter away. They could also afford to pay for the best activities for themselves, and for any guests who they needed to entertain.

Hunting in Denmark is still heavily influenced by old traditions.
One of the most common ways of hunting is a big group hunt, directly translated it is a "company hunt" hunting with company. It's typically scoffed at by non hunters as a thing for rich people to get connections and secure business deals. However as a normal person with a hunting license I can assure you it can also be far more casual and fun.
This type of hunting is conducted with 3 important elements:
The hunters, of course.
"Clappers", who walk from one side of the forrest towards the hunters and make noise to push game towards the hunters.
And last but not least, the dogs for fetching game.
I have been on a few of these hunts, even one at a castle where I shot my first pheasant. Yes the bird, not a peasant lol.
I addicted to watching this. You can just imagine how well my conversation goes over, at dinner
I know exactly.You’re surrounded by blank stares ,quizzical facial expressions and people saying huh a lot.
This is so freakin cool. I find this so fascinating to see how people have changed over the years, and yet we have so much still in common.
Your channel is so good man, I hope you continue to gain subs because your research and content is top notch!
I have a feeling that in about 2-3 months this channel will have 100k+
Backgamm 3n fmi pay. I best eberyone
@@nepntzerZer no way?
Naw fr it’s so good he has to be a historian that specializes in the Middle Ages
Fr, this is easily one of my favorite channels out there. With the quality and research that goes into the videos that they make it’s honestly a shock that they have less than 100k subs.
I have never had an interest in medieval history but I have been binging your channel for the last couple of days! Keep up the great work!
Me too
Love the idea of "Edward Longsharks"!
I thought the same!😂
What would be fun to see is if we made what we do now during medieval times how wealthy would we be considered. And then how wealthy the royals would be adjusted for inflation.
Everyone in the United States, and I do mean everyone- even the homeless- would at the very least be positioned nicely in the Textile Freeman class.
Anyone with a roof over their head is automatically in the upper portion of the mercantile, textile and skilled labor class.
If you work a White-Collar job there's a very good chance you've got more wealth than the average Medieval noble.
Education, income and personal movement go a long *long* way towards not being a Medieval Peasant.
The inverse would also be true.
Adjusted for inflation and ownership of wealth, the average Nobleman of Medieval Europe would be a micro nation unto themselves if you translated their estate to today's money.
The day of the week has finally arrived where my favourite channel has another brilliant video!! I am very loyal supporter to this channel! Hope everyone on here is well and wishing you happiness and peace ✌️ xxx
It was an injury from a joust that changed Henry VIII’s behavior and England’s history. He was unconscious for some time and had a leg wound that never properly and caused considerable pain. Before, he was the perfect Renaissance prince. Afterwards, he became a tyrant.
You could argue he was heading that way anyway despite the head injury. He had already fallen madly in love with Anne by then and he was getting desperate for a son hence all the marriages and ruthlessness. He was also plagued by court rumours that humiliated him which ultimately led to Anne’s death.
@@hollyyyyyy I personally think it was the head injury that caused the behaviour change - similar things have been documented before and it sure would explain a lot. It makes you wonder what course history would have taken if that joust had gone differently!
@@sarahcooper5272 A frontal head injury can be devastating to a person's personality, rationality, judgement, insight, etc. when severe enough. This is very true!
@@2Bad4YOUuu Well it was serious enough that he was knocked unconscious and was unresponsive, if I remember correctly. Imagine getting knocked out by a spear, fall off horse, might have gotten drug around for a bit (hence the leg injury) before being pulled completely from the stirrup. That's a horrible scene to picture. The man probably had a brain bleed by the time it was all said and done!
But then, in his 'late' middle age he regretted his foul behaviour and become religious and much meeker. Or so I have heard.
“Edward Longsharks”
I really enjoyed this. I do needlework and read quite a bit. So maybe I'd fit in with the ladies.
I play musical instruments and read!
i never knew it was elizabeth on the playing cards. that’s so cool
We all live like royalty now! What a time to be alive!!
Who doesn’t love King Arthur stories? I love your series.
I'm glad I am an artist and would have much joy out of drawing and colouring then. Though, I imagine colour would have been tougher to acquire or expensive in that time, let alone getting enough paper or bark to draw on. Then I would have to be lucky enough to even have time for that if I was a peasant.
This has become one of my favorite channels
Thanks for the video! I’d love to see a video on medieval vices!!
I really want to see you hit 1 million subscribers!!! 🎯
WOOOO BEEN WAITING FOR THE NEW VID ALL WEEK :)
I subbed today. Great channel
I think it's amazing that I can buy a quality hand and a half sword, firearms, and still afford to pay for my bills. It's amazing that I can afford tools that would make a king envious.
Just imagine their awe of our power tools.
Or youtube.
our sanitation, the availability of clean water and food
the literacy rates being 99%,life expectancy, medicines
on and on the list could go, we will never be Princes or Kings but compared to them we have everything they coud
have ever wanted and them some
Thank you for the information on the channel. I am glad I found your channel. I look forward to the new and up coming information.
Thanks so much for another great video! Can't wait for what's coming up in the future
Man I love this channel!
🐻 wrote a book, "How to kill the best hunter, a bear's guide for survival."
Love your channel. My favorite. Great job.
“Girls Just Want To Have Fun…”😂
Thanks. Good video!
Channel is spot on, keep up the good work pal 👍
8:12 wrong king.
to be honest with you sir, watching your videos about medieval life style made me understand things more clearly when playing that damn game kingdome come: deliverance :))))))
Love this channel
Awesome channel love the videos 😘
Also Valois is pronounced VALWA 😂
And who’s Edward longsharks 😂. I think we all enjoy the little errors on this brilliant channel 😊
Uh... yes, my life is apparently VERY different from medieval royalty.
Always fascinating ❤
I've just subscribed. Glad I found this channel. Need lots of medieval content for my story.
Same here! I dedicated a special playlist to it😊
Very informative but I should point out : It’s Edward Longshanks, not Longsharks
These videos are great. How do you make snippets so substantial? I'm binging and loving every minute.
Chess is an incredible game. Worth the time and effort to learn.
All this time, I thought they were just fancy hats the falcons got 😂
It's where we get the term hoodwinked from today. We trick the falcon to think it's dark and she will sit quietly in the hood. Only used sparingly.
My first thought when I saw this thumbnail was “medieval royalty probs had a newer phone than me” 😔
6:43 Never heard of Edward Longsharks. Maybe do a video about him?
Yeah - I couldn't even bring myself mention this one in my original critique, it was so glaring.
Remember Braveheart the movie? The king was Edward.
@@georgetaylor8895 I know who Edward Longshanks is. Didn't know there was an Edward LongSHARKS.
@@JamesFromTexas 😆 🤣 wow. Can't believe I missed that.
Hahaha
Find it hard to believe that sex did not make the top 6, at least for the king. As Mel Brooks so aptly put it, “It’s good to be the king.” HOTW pt 1.
7:26 medieval Putin and baby Churchill 😅
😄 haha!
Love yr channel but one little thing 😊 Valois is pronounced Val-wah.
Keep on making these awesome vids!😊😊
lmao at Edward Longsharks
interesting, they would love a Devil Powered Smart Phone, controlled by witches and demons...
Methinks you've mistaken the picture of Charles VI of France for Charles I of England.
Awesome!
That’s a portrait of Charles I of England not Charles VI of France
Matilda Makejoy would be a fantastic medieval stripper name.
Not going to met gala lately
😊👍
Please tell me the name of the music used at 9:03.
The famous king that had long sharks for legs🤔
I’m a recent college graduate.I didn’t find this very interesting.Not once did you mention what style of mobile phone was most sought after or exactly where the medieval’s went for summer break.Which electric vehicle was most popular and in what year The Rolling Stones actually got their start.
Does anyone know the name of the castle at the end?
7:43 That's a gross Gollum baby.
My life is nothing like medieval times.
6:43 Edward LongSHANKS*
Can we please talk about how the bear has a nest like a bird?!?
Unless the medieval nobility spent most of their waking hours either laboring or preparing to labor while also consistently stressing about maintaining food and shelter I doubt my life has anything in common with them. Sounds bad but at least I have modern leisure activities, food, and conveniences not to mention modern medicine and plumbing.
Instead of hawking we have sharking now
You have really great content and a very pleasant voice and cadence. So I hope you don’t mind me asking you to please research how to pronounce certain words. Valois is said Val/wah. Salisbury is said Sols bury. I know it’s hard to know unless you grew up in Britain how they’re pronounced Thanks
even better, because you don't have to deal with royalty shit
Gaston Phoebus most likely had a stroke and died during a meal, according to testimonies of the time, not killed by a bear. It was in August, and bear hunt wasn't likely.
Enjoyed this video but come one how long does it take to google for pronunciation? Valois is Valwa not Valoi. Edward 1 was known as Longshanks as he was so tall, not 'long sharks' because he was as long as a shark?? It just makes people wonder, how accurate is the rest of the video? Clear
Tournaments? Try football.
Aristocratic women were expected to create and embroider their husbands shirts; it was work, I’ve hand sewn those shirts. They also managed the household, akin to running a good size hotel. It wasn’t all lollygag going about playing Parcheesi all day.
😁
I think about if I could go back in time and be a king, trade my life for a kings life. Would I? I don’t think I could give up my iPhone for any kind of life without it.
Well, if you're still on the fence check out the episode on medieval hygiene. I could not handle living in that kind of filth. And the horrible medicine would be too much for me.
While I agree living back then would be awful, even as a king. It's sad you mention your iPhone as your first reason not to go back
@@rowanmelton7643 why is it sad?
@@Roman-jx9ny because there are so many things so much worse about living back then and so much better about living now than having a fucking phone
Salisbury, pronounced 'Sawls-bree'
Lol
6:10 the tuba was invented in 1835. i'm not mad. i'm just saying. 😉
Lets see I don't have slaves or servants, nor do I have a standing army and castle. Hmm, my guess is absolutely not even fucking close.
Toenaments
7:35 Medieval Putin
Hey I love your videos but after watching a few I gotta say you've really gotta bolt down your pronunciation of Salisbury... It's basically a silent 'i' my man!
Va lo ah= Vallois
Mink would look out of place ...
Valois is pronounced "Val wa" not "Valloy"
I could still do with some furs and not to musty please and rabbit may shed
5:37 The point of the joust was to break your lance, not be dismounted.
I love this channel, but it does seem to get a lot of basic medieval facts incorrect.
Or Russia
Yeah, they have way more fun than us back then. I remember Catherine the Great with her horses....
Dude, Valois is pronounced Valwa. Love your work, but you gotta practice that French buddy!
Hunting in North America isn't a popular pastime for the rich. The wilderness is too dirty and there are too many bugs. Hunters are often specialists that are hired by governments to manage wild animal populations (like the out of control wild boar population). The First Nations peoples are allowed to hunt. Bears are only hunted for the illegal Chinese medicine market. Almost all Americans have several dozen automatic assault rifles and handguns. These are only for hunting and killing humans, usually mass shootings in elementary schools, churches, and concerts. Only Joe Rogan hunts with a bow. I'm not sure Medieval Royalty would consider any of this 'fun'.
Sex??? They didn’t have lots of sex for fun????
The title should be “what medieval english royalty did for fun” bs
You might try harder with correcting your pronunciation of names, and portrayals of monarchs. The Medieval French Royal House of a Valois is pronounced 'Val-WAH' not "Va-LOY"! Charles I of England (shown in your portrait) and Charles VI of France (the medieval monarch you reference in that portrait as your playing card example) were not the same person, not to mention that there were 200+ years between their reigns. How can this channel be taken seriously with such blatant and easily avoidable errors?
Every video from this channel is full of errors. One used an image of a church in Missouri!
@@anypercentdeathless I think some of the visuals take liberties, some of them quite humorous, they may be facetious rather than outright mistakes..
Although I do sometimes cringe at the narrator’s pronunciation quirks at times, I try to remember that the way we pronounce things now rarely mirrors the speech of the times and regions referenced. The actual factual errors are fewer, but sometimes surprisingly avoidable, and I hope that as time goes on the channel will improve.
Edward "Longsharks"?
"Valoy"?
Learn to read.
Your woke comments are very anticlimatic.
Really fascinating I have multiple new games to look up 🦊🦢🦢♟♟🎲
