This is the most thorough and clear account of Titus Oates' career I've heard. Thank you so much. What a terrifying human being. The whole course of events sounds reminiscent of the hysteria surrounding the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts.
Glad you appreciated this. An interesting, if ugly story, but I think it’s best to be well- informed of the kaleidoscope of human behaviour and possibility!
Thank you for the video! I studied at the English College in Valladolid last year and quite few of the Martyrs of our house can be traced to the Horrid Hellish Popish plot. We were told that Oates' room was above the entrance where he could spy on visitors to the college - now its a laundry room, so no student has to be haunted by his wraith.
The Plot Against Pepys is an excellent book on Samuel Pepys's narrow escape from Oates. The accounts of other victims trials were truly harrowing. An evil man.
Thank you, Dr Barton! A splendid telling of the story of Titus Oates. Viewed from the perspective of our age, Oates was a textbook example of what we would now label a psychopath, as first carefully described and clearly formulated by Dr Hervey Cleckley in his book "The Mask of Sanity", published in 1941. Some commentators here seem slightly amazed that such characters exist in our day, but, of course, they have always existed. They exist in varying degrees of flagrancy and the character trait is remarkably prevalent. They still take in "normal" folk with their charisma, charm and confidence. They have no need to "believe" their own lies and fantasies because they have no moral sense and no empathy, and do not distinguish between truth and fantasy. They are callous of others. Most come into conflict with society, and many with the law (just like Oates). It is no surprise that they are over-represented in prisons. Some psychopaths (usually at the brighter end of intelligence) have some insight into the fact that their thinking is not like "normal" people, and become adept at faking more normal patterns of emotional response, but it is just that - faking. During many interesting discussions about how to handle psychopaths in the work-place, a hightly experienced clinical psychologist friend ultimately gave the following sound advice: "steer well clear of them!"
Any modern-day psychopath would instantly recognise Oates as a member of their exclusive fraternity. You don't need to be a sadistic serial killer or a gangster. All you need is to go through life with something lacking - call it conscience, empathy, honesty, whatever. I've met a few psychopaths, and they're absolutely charming - it's hard to believe that something essential is missing.
I never thought about all the horrible stuff happening to London around the mid 1600s. You had the civil war with Cromwell becoming Lord protector and King Charles dying in 1649. The return of Charles the second in 1661. Then the black plague hit London hard in 1665-1666 and the famous London fire in 1666. Imagine being born and coming of fighting age for the civil war and then surviving all the rest to come after. Rough generation... They saw the end of English Monarchy for a time and they possibly saw the end of there personal religion (legally and locally). Then the Plague, the fire... It must have felt like everything that once kept order was on borrowed time
Great video - thanks for posting. I just finished reading Sophie Shorland’s ‘The Lost Queen’ about Catherine of Braganza which includes quite a bit about Oates, so immediately watched your video when I saw it pop up - fascinating stuff!
Titus Oates and Matthew Hopkins , the self appointed Witchfinder General, the seventeenth century was a true feast for utterly horrible people in England.
Oh. My. 😮 Toxic and evil, indeed. We all have known those who lie as a pattern or habit, but not to cause the seemingly intended consequences as did Oates. OMG, the horrific damage by one human.
What's truly terrifying is the amount of people who are prepared to claim that they believe such preposterous rubbish. That's what makes a person like this so dangerous. Why do people drop their common sense for someone like this?
So well researched! Thank you, Allan. I love your videos. In a sense though, this one horrifies, for there is a parallel situation elsewhere in the world, where a renown liar and con man will steer the ship. It's terrible to think we learn nothing from history.
One thing I've never seen considered is the possibility that Oates had a genetic condition causing abnormal facial bone growth, e.g. Cherubism or Paget's disease. He looks distinctly odd in most of his portraits, and his unflattering descriptions have said he was considered so 'ugly' he attracted attention in the street. It'd be easy to put these down to poor draftsmanship and hyperbole, but the pictures genuinely do quite closely resemble the effects of medical conditions known to cause very visible facial differences. If it was the case that Oates lived with one of these conditions, it might help explain how he developed such a warped psyche- the constant experience of social rejection feeding a pathological need for approval. None of that would excuse all the death and suffering his lies caused, but it might help us understand how one of history's strangest villains came to be the way he was. There may be people who've seriously looked into this possibility already, but if there are, I've not stumbled across their work.
“The most huge and horrible scandal ever launched against us [the Catholic faith] since the last lie was choked in the throat of Titus Oates.” G. K. Chesterton, “The Resurrection of Father Brown.”
The largely-unknown poet Dale Wimbrow Sr wrote, in his best work, 'The Guy in the Glass': '...you can fool the whole world down the pathway of years, and get pats on the back as you pass; but your final reward will be heartache and tears, if you've cheated The Guy In the Glass...'
Hi Allan! The story of Oates brings to mind a certain passage from St. Luke 8:17: "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."
@@allanbarton i'm not so sure about the "often" part. "sometimes" or "rarely" perhaps is closer to reality. it is heartening when it does happen, though.
What a great summation of the life and deeds of the odious Titus Oates, who despite his looks, had the gift of the gab when it came to currying favour. It is extraordinary that he got away with it for so long, even to be temporarily 'redeemed'. History seems to show that there will always be a Titus Oates equivalent somewhere in our midst.
The comfort, if I may use the term, is that in the end Oates felt the effects of his chronic detestable behavior and temperment. Thank you, Allan, for this illustrative bit of history.
@jonjames7328 Which is the entire hierarchy since 1997. Hardly a 'petty' issue. The English, I'm one, are very good at ignoring long term societal and political realities in favour of striking a smart-arse comment for a brief endorphin hit.
@@LamgiMari 'Oates' was considered an unusual name and Titus was the most infamous person sharing it. It would be the equivalent of jokingly calling someone with the surname Manson 'Charlie'. He was already a military hero who had been recommended for the Victoria Cross by the time he joined Scott's expedition, so it wasn't intended as some slight on his character, just dark humour.
It needs to be remembered that through all times in history there have been people on both sides of all disputes making stuff up and wrongly accusing people on the other side. Oates may have taken that to another level, but of course it only had any effect because polarised section of society wanted to fear of his fabrications, because it suited their politics, chose to, and acted on the fabrication. The period in British history covering the Stuart Kings and the interregnum rife with false accusations, and ensuing prosecutions.
My namesake my uncle Dana, was a pathological liar and schizophrenic. He tore a path of destruction through the lives of anyone he came into contact with. I didn’t speak to him after my father died. He got mad when my father left everything to my brother and me his two children. He felt my dad should have left him something even though my dad provided free housing for him for twenty years.
I once read an interesting story about Oates. This took place long after his time, which is perhaps the most interesting thing about it. I don't recall who it was or when, but someone decided to "throw a party in his honor". People actually showed up to this affair. Curiously, they looked around for the guest of honor. After a time, each attendee was given a card saying that the guest of honor would not be joining them this evening and also gave further details about the man in question. The guy throwing the party wanted to prove that some people would show up for anything, even for someone they knew nothing about. I'd say he succeeded.
Thanks for publishing above video in a way that does not leave any important detail out including a warning about the negativity dynamic which Titus Otis allowed to take over his life.
Poor wife. I didn't know Oates married (for cash) or that he was ever actually charged for sex crimes (and wriggled out of the allegations), but I can't say I'm surprised.
Testis Ovat: “the witness who exults”. I've always thought that the Swedish practice at this time of breaking people at the wheel was cruel and barbaric and evil in an almost incomprehensible way. The amount of harm that this man did though? A pillory was too good for him.
Great video, thanks. I'd never heard of Titus Oates before but I found this so interesting that I thought I'd say what it made me think... That way of being has always been a thing and still is... The name and face, the identity of the person are not the culprit, I think. It can manoeuvre itself into powerful positions and the results are all around us, still. But, lets not hate him, or all the other ones who carry on this way, lets just stop giving them power!
Great video, may I recommend Andrew Robinson Stoney as a subject, the movie Barry Lyndon is based upon him, which I turn is based on the picaresque novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon
Sounds like Oates may have had a personality disorder, possibly histrionic or another Cluster B disorder, especially with his compulsive lying. If only private investigators existed back in that century. In treason trials, it was often one person's word against another's. But if Oates' past had been researched at the time and made public, it might have damaged his credibility enough to make him an "unreliable witness". This story reminds me how vulnerable we all are to being used and exploited, once a manipulative person works out what it is that we want to hear.
Cluster Bs are a mixture of the diagnosis though all are compulsive liar's. Some have more self awareness than others so will curtail the lying when they have what they want. I think you may be right about Oats having a Histrionic element along with Narcissism and psychopathy. He must have gone into a frenzy when he started to get attention from the king. Surprised he made it into his 50s in those times.
Love the video! Informative without becoming a deluge. Did you turn off subtitles? It'd be lovely if you turned it on so more people can enjoy this kind of well-researched, educational material.

Thank you for being you.
3:42 I've always found it very weird how modern Anabaptists that I know about in America, Amish and Mennonite, are completely non violent to the point where they won't serve in the military or fight to defend their own country but the way they started was violent, depraved, and brutal. Look it up if you want to hear all about it because this comment would get removed if I told you here.
Some people will go to great lengths to avoid an honest job.
The longer I live, the more I realize that some things never change. Very interesting video Allan. I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it! I think our best defence against this kind of history repeating itself too often is to be well- informed 😅.
The chances of the bulk of the electorate ever being ‘well-informed’ are nil
A pity that society has no firewall still against these psychopaths & that we still suffer their sick vanity & greed
he sounds a lot like bojo
This is the most thorough and clear account of Titus Oates' career I've heard. Thank you so much.
What a terrifying human being. The whole course of events sounds reminiscent of the hysteria surrounding the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts.
There are certainly strong parallels between the two!! Glad you appreciated the video 😊.
What an odious man whose lies cost so many innocent lives and destroyed reputations. A horrible story but one which need to be told. Thank you.🙏🏻
