Other viewers may already know this but for those who don't, the French royal scandal involving the purses gifted by Isabella, along with other events of this period - like the suppression of the Templars - is covered in the historically-based novels of Maurice Druon known as the 'Accursed Kings' series. If you like this kind of book, then they are well worth a read and have also been cited by George RR Martin as one of the main influences on his 'Song of Ice and Fire' books. Thank you for another enjoyable video.
Wherever we go - there we are. Pomp and circumstance may change, but, no matter how impressive an emperor's clothes may be, the man within them is merely human.
As if it isn't bad enough that someone sets your fancy dress costume alight, your knackers fall off while you're flailing around on fire. Think of that the next time you're having a bad day.
I just read about lady Isabel german the anchoress. Sure you guys have heard of her...but it would make a great video, there's alot to consider in her story. X
As usual: Give people the power to do whatever their liking ist, they will do so and commit in terrible atrocities. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
10:01 - can I ask how John-Eleanor was having ‘sex as a woman’ if he had a biological male appendage? I’m not being rude - I’m confused about the logistics 😂 did the men who thought he was a woman not look/feel the “front” area… use your imagination. You know what I mean.
Always thought Cesare and Lucrezia were incest with eachother, until recently when i learned it was made up by Lucrezias first husband, Giovanni Sforza. Well, they were fobbed off as rumours, but could actually be true.
I have heard of all of these. Maybe it's my obsession with typing in documentary and watching whatever I find. So I'm full of useless knowledge. Interesting but useless
Whether the narrator knows or not..he states some very incorrect facts..such as the Medici being powerless today...they are intact one of the most powerful families ever.
Well, one thing's for sure, those people in the middle ages really knew how to throw memorable parties.
That was definatly an elaborate assassination
Every time I though I'd caught up on the latest gossip, it turns out I'm a few hundred years out of date. At least I'm on time for a new MM video!
Lmaoo

I found one of these, "The Iron King," at an antique shop, and it was amazing. I want to read the others.
@@owengreig1088 I got them all from the library and loved the all.
"...their flaming genitals dropping to the floor, releasing a stream of blood."
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!

I love this channel so much. It feeds a part of my brain that I didn’t even know was hungry. Thank you!
Saaammmmeee
Glad to catch this as it was posted - a good reason to stay on the elliptical a little longer! Lol. Damn you! 🤣😂🤣
john/eleanor had serious game. good for them! what an icon. i hope they had a good life
It just keeps getting more insane each video lmao
Ignominious.... I'll spend the rest of the day looking for ways to work this into conversations 😆
Edgar Allen Poe's short story Hop Frog seems to be inspired by the Ball of the Wild Men.
That's what I was thinking too! I had no idea it was based on actual events.
Wasn't his story Masque of the Red Death also inspired by a Medieval legend?
@@dieterdelange9488 I don't know, but now I'm gonna look into it and find out. 😊
The King of the Goths🖤🌹🐈⬛
Yes, I thought the same.
Pope at 20?!?!?!?!!!! Sure, no corruption in the papacy lol
"Flaming genitals dropping to the floor" bruh
yeah, that was kinda disturbing

This is a great channel. Edgar Alan Poe must have heard the one about the burning men - it reminds me of his story ' Hop frog'
I've been reading edward II by Christopher Marlowe and this video was perfect when you covered that stuff, great content
Is it a sausage-fest?
So, what do we learn? Nothing has changed. . . .
60's got nothing compare to medieval times.
This channel
Is so much fun❤❤❤
What wete they supposed to do with the chestnuts?
I just read about lady Isabel german the anchoress. Sure you guys have heard of her...but it would make a great video, there's alot to consider in her story. X
Happy belated cath!
AWESOME 👌 thank you so much ❤️ 😊
debauched religion and royalty even back then, nothing has changed then, gotten worse id say.
Great one!
It all makes sense when you think about the fact that they drank beer instead of water.
5:11 dude to the right of the king looks like the dude from clockwork orange
This was a good one!
Didn’t realize you were a tea channel! Go off girlie
Awesome 👌
3:44 I remember this one from Sam O Nella
The church never gave up their ways
The Church: poverty,chastity,frugality,charitative,espiritual..(mode ironic off)😏
Every time someone brings up the borgias or medicis I think of assassins creed 😂
Cool stuff. 😅
My device tried to sabotage me but I persevered
Man, do every one of your HISTORICAL videos get the age restriction treatment?

Another 👍
Me who hates scandals, medieval scandels ye boiiii
Seems like some Things Never Change. 🏴🏴
3:58 I got in a fistfight with him in a video game once!
Humans are indeed a strange lot 😂

Hello!
10:01 - can I ask how John-Eleanor was having ‘sex as a woman’ if he had a biological male appendage? I’m not being rude - I’m confused about the logistics 😂 did the men who thought he was a woman not look/feel the “front” area… use your imagination. You know what I mean.
He WAS having sex with monks, so...?
I would imagine that meant the was the bottom

Fu*k, nothing has changed since the Middle Ages….so much for “dark age” and the “advancement of civilization”. 😐😂
❤️😃🥂👍
🙂👍
I have heard of all of these. Maybe it's my obsession with typing in documentary and watching whatever I find. So I'm full of useless knowledge. Interesting but useless
Interesting, maybe. We'll see if Skall, Shad, or Matt Easton swing in to tell us the truth.
Whether the narrator knows or not..he states some very incorrect facts..such as the Medici being powerless today...they are intact one of the most powerful families ever.
Clearly you have no common sense
Every one of these stories sounds just like now whe King Charles and all the Von Windsors . about time they went
Amen!
Sources or it didn't happen
Your pronunciation hasn’t improved … Lucretia - Loo Cree Sha. Gratian - Gray Shun.
Your accusations against his idiosyncratic pronunciation are ignominious.
Loved it! Medieval madness rules, every one of your episodes are interesting, informative and well made! Looking forward to the next one! Cheers! 🍷
