"But when he died his servants were overjoyed" that's some funeral
Let's flush this turd down the toilet!
I see that happening as well corporate feudalism and a worshiping of the higher-ups
This reminds me of the scene in the 1971 film version of “Scrooge” when the Ghost of Christmas Future takes Scrooge to see a huge celebration in the street near his home/counting house. A coffin is sitting in the bed of a wagon and people are joyously dancing and singing “Thank you very much! Thank you very much! It’s the nicest thing that anyone’s ever done for me!” Scrooge notices that some people are even dancing on top of the coffin. He asks the Spirit who the unfortunate dead person is and then reads the coffin plate and sees his name on it.
He realizes that the folks are celebrating his demise.
@@monicacall7532 its said that people who die can't realize they are dead and roam around the corpse for some time around
Kazi, that’s fascinating! Thank you for sharing that info with me. I can totally understand how that belief would be popular back when high mortality rates were a fact of life.
In case anybody is wondering about the butcher:
"Berold, the blessed butcher from Rouen. He was found the next day by local fishermen, clinging to the very rock that sent the ship down. "
This channel helps me to remember that life, really could be worse...🤣
Same 😄
Oh my that story of the miserly man faking his death and being killed in the process is straight medieval Seinfeld. True or not, that made my day.
Great episode by the way. I was between laughing and horrified within the span.
@@noahcarver6072 for real, man. I tried hard not to laugh. 😂
I totally imagined this scenario was very Frasier-esqe then saw your comment. Could totally see Kelsey Grammar in the role of the miser and Daphne clobbering him to death in the sack screaming about demons
For sure, Larry David all over it lol
Legendary Cheapskate
"Was it Shrek?" made me choke on my drink a little
Peters love is the purest I've heard in all royal romances 💞
It made me so sad :(
“That money is from usury, you’re excommunicated.”
*dies*
“This money is holy and belongs to The Church now.”
One of my favorite RUclips comments ever!
Yes? The daughter donated it to the church, a just thing to do since the money was essentially stolen from those he ripped off
>dies leading a life of stealing money from people
>daughter decides to willingly give it up and gives it away
Lmffao I dying at the story of the play dead guy who got beaten by his poor servants 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This has become one of my favorite channels. Wish I could time travel and see what it was like back then.
No, you really dont 🤣
Pollution levels would be lovely in the countryside... but not in towns and cities, where they throw shite in the street 🤢
No you don’t trust me lol. Have you not been watching his episodes?!
Yersinia pestis?
I agree it’s interesting, but I certainly wldnt want to experience it first hand lol 😂.
Yeah if I was in a protective bubble where I'm unseen by the people
Interesting that they were green and would initially only eat beans, as, during the Irish potato famine, some families had only carrots to eat. The children of these families were said to have an orange tint to their skin.
this is true, when I was little I loved eating carrots and overtime my skin got an orange tint because of the vegetable's pigment😂
Interesting point
Gingers! Aka daywalkers...
They say they were from Belgium and ate mostly vegetables, thus the green tinge
@@shadow_hillsgrandma8224 doesnt make sense cause wouldnt vegans be green lol
Those kids were probably scandinavian, taken by raiders and somehow were dropped in England.
They didn't want to eat anything... That's because they are kids. The food from England probably looked a lot different from their home. Like trying to get them to eat veggies.
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman yep xD
With just as much credibility (zero knowledge of the incident) I can say they were captured & enchanted children from inside a fairy hill who were lost to the world for so many years that they forgot their language, their skin changed to green and their families were dead at least 1,000 years.
If your going to speculate, make it interesting!
@@hensonlaura If only the family had some pepsi...
Or from a nearby village of Flemish setllers, the local church there was called St Martins.
Good Lord are these true stories? The one about the penny pincher is incredible lol
I'm a relatively new subscriber-- and I just want to say I freaking LOVE this channel
The John guy was the absolute polar opposite of Consumerism.
This channel is so fun and morbid. Marathon weekend, I love this channel.
Waking up after a bender all hung over and dehydrated, buried alive is a frightening fate.
Unexplained mysteries:"Scientists cannot explain why these kids were green", Medieval madness: "Were they Shrek?" 🤣🤣
From Greenland.
Shrek is a fictional character, and they couldn't both be the same person.
@@flickingbollocks5542 wdym? Shrek is definitely real, European and chronologically accurate
The first story is a extreme case of "can't let go"😬
Dedication, loyalty, these fit too. A little unusual to our culture but romance was different back then, I mean read almost any Shakespeare, every third line is a great ode to love. That’s all they had was human on human interaction, most couldn’t even read.
Love your videos. Wish you released more often.
Tis what She didst sayeth.
(Sorry, couldn't resist)
Love this xx
Brilliantly put together

I wonder if the children didn't have hyperchromatic anemia? it causes both greenish jaundice of the skin and an aversion to food, and it can be caused by anything from vitamin deficiency to lead poisoning or intestinal parasites. That could be why their skin got less green as they started accepting food, maybe
How on earth do you find these great stories.
Great video. Love the concept of telling short stories.
Inés de Castro was from my homeland, Galiza. It's quite a known story around here, but only among galician history lovers. Nice telling of her story!
Intrigued and disturbed. Subscribed. 🤔😱
Would it be possible to add a list of sources in the descriptions of these videos?
Agreed!
Same
hear hear
It'd also be nice to know which artworks he uses for reference
Yeah...something is off here. A simple Google search produced nothing on John Overs. Not saying it's not true, but it would be a lot better if we had sources.
Tänne alkanut tulla noita ihme ilmoituksia. Mutta hyvä video!
One of my fav channels keep up the amazing work
Great vid, as usual. With regard to the 2 green kids - St Martins is just north of Oswestry which could explain why the children a) could not speak English, and b) were green.
I think they came from Agartha.
@@jaymaw5284
Greenland.
@@flickingbollocks5542 whatta f u talking about?😄
@@jaymaw5284
Derrrr... Greenies come from Greenland.
Or up your nose.
Or in your case, a pus and semen filled perianal abscess.
Nom nom nom.
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman love the 'also'. loll
I love how you use actual old artwork. I don't like history channels that use stock video- for example of some modern person walking through a field wearing a dress or something.
They all look brutally inbred though.
I have no idea why you dont have more subscribers. Im not even that interested in Medieval history but I still find your videos enthralling
LOVE this channel...always interesting and well done.
wow that's nuts
a war that lasted 50 years I've NEVER heard about
Really enjoyed this one! Thanks.
Awesome vid - thank you !
The moon is not made out of cheese. You can't make a hologram out of cheese.
yes you can
Brilliant channel - have watched everything now so I really look forward to your weekly uploads!
This is great! I appreciate your videos. I love the format and narration.
I discovered your channel about a week ago and I'm hopelessly addicted. I love any and everything that is medieval. I adore your channel, so please don't ever stop posting.❤❤❤
These were really interesting. Another well done video!
Great content!
This was sick bro
Green kids...there was a Flemish settlement north of there away with a local church called st Martins, the kids were probably from there, looking at their dress and language skills and description of where they came from. My fave explanation at least.
But then why were they suddenly transported. And there’s no area in the UK where it is permanently twilight. Even our areas of the earth that would like that, aren’t, because of the earths slight circular rocking while it spins.
Not the first story of someone coming from somewhere very, very unearthly, either.
9:22-9:49 How horrible. 😞 Even if forced married... If the husband were good he doesn't deserve that. Not enough detail inn the story to know whether or not the husband deserved that or not. Very icky.
We never knew if the wife is already fed up (or worse, insane), thus seeing everyone who involved in the marriage as a threat, and one death is the only thing that able to release her bottled emotion
I really enjoyed these stories. I wish the video was longer ☹
This Channel is wonderful.
that's it! you forced my hand and now i'm sub'ing!
Lovely --- proof again the more things change the more they stay the same.
"was it Shrek?"
Yes.
Excellent, very enjoyable content, thank you. Love that you don't film yourself staring into the camera as so many attention seekers do!
King peter also bited the assasin's hearth and cutted a priest in half for rapping, yeah he was something else xD
I, too, was overjoyed by this installment!
...so, _Good MM_ - no broken oar for you!
served with beans and chianti adds to silence of the lambs
I love stories where we can all lol at them.
The first story is very known in portugal. I study in coimbra right now, and there are so many things related to them.
Tragic true love
You know you've had an epic rager when you die and cause a war that lasts half.a century
nice
The kids from Wool Pit..most likely ate a diet of Green Beans for a extended period. Eating a diet of mostly Carrots turns your skin Orange. 🥕
"You can't take it with you, when you die."
Oh, 'ha-ha' Watch me, because I'm getting cremated, and all my money surrounded with me. It may not serve me in the afterlife, but it won't serve you burnt to a crisp either.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Bing drinking can kill you."
And how was this ever in question?
beer was drank more than water back then as it was cleaner to drink (also very low alchohol contenct compared to modern beer) most people didnt drink wine so when everyone treatss it like beer they get plastered and the rest is history lol
The cremation operator will remove that money before you go up in smoke, sorry.
@@melvert33
That, plus I remembered after this comment, that I've switched to all e-currency, so my initial comment actually makes no sense.
I rarely touch physical money nowadays anyways, except this summer when I went on a trip, or what I find on the ground, mostly pennies, but every penny more in my pocket, is a penny less in somebody else's pocket.
'A penny saved' and all that.
"Was it Shrek?" 😂.
excellent entertainment in tragedy 🤣
I must've heard the story of the green children a hundred times by now. It truly is a great mystery as to who, or WHAT, these children were.
The guy that fed his wife her lover's heart. Based.
Kids have turned orange from drinking too much artificially coloured Tropicana!
I need book suggestions for more of these!
2:33 How on Earth could a person take people across the Thames to Suffolk? Suffolk is two counties North of London.
The story of the moneylender is hilarious 🤣
Can you talk about Asia in medieval times not many talk about that topic,srry my bad english
I love the way Ingland preserves their medievil memory, as for my Country Portugal its really sad that so lettile is made we still have a royal blood line but nobody cares or respects it, wen i talk about archery people think its a kids thing...its truly sad...one has to learn from outside sorces in order to know things that would be revered in any other country as commum knowleage !! P.S. VERY NICE CHANNEL
The story about the green kids got a simple fact wrong. The young boy died a few days after being found from an unknown illness whereas the girl did live until adulthood. Most likely they were Welsh and the green tint was either from plants or some dietary deficiency. Poor kids
Oh WOW 😳 THIS is going to be an absolutely EPIC video.
On another note, England lost 👑 QUEEN Elizabeth today September 8th. Such a sad day in the monarchy. It's certainly been an interesting era, but NOTHING quite measures up to medieval times.
❤️👍
Anyone know what the audio playing in the background is called that starts @ 8:25
Green children must came from Agartha.
I told you. Greenland.
Or Greenwich.
I think about my ancestors and wonder how I got here. The lives they lived sound extremely atrocious. How on God's green Earth did they survive all that crap? It's utterly bewildering.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The first one is really sad
Fun content, too bad I already cleared your entire content completing For the Republic, part 2
Finally new shit!
That story of Ines and Peter could not be more portuguese... A true fado story.
La’Cuh!!
Vampires! ⚰️
Who were?
But, were the men unhappily forced to marry women they didn't love also? Wasn't the first story about that poor guy who couldn't marry the woman he wanted to and then she was murdered? I'm not sure there weren't also plenty of miserably married men during those time periods also.😟
Yeah duh
@@SQUELCH-zj7il I posed the question because in many historical documentaries when discussing marriage there is alot of focus on what women suffered or how it was unfair to them. Which is definitely true. But I don't think it was all easy for men. They also were bound by rules and expectations. And I would expect there were many unhappy men stuck with terrible wives or a loveless marriage. I agree that should be obvious, but I personally don't hear that perspective very often. In this video he sympathized with the woman who murdered her husband, but was the marriage arranged for him also? Do we have sympathy for the man who murders his wife because he is unhappy with her? It's just interesting to me and again, I usually see a pretty one sided perspective in alot of shows.
@@Adoozyofaday No we don't have sympathy, men treated women like cattle back then. Cheating was considered normal, as well as domestic abuse.
If the guy was unhappy, he didn't have to consider the wife's feelings as they were not important.
@@SQUELCH-zj7il I wouldn't go as far as to say cheating was "normal" Adultery was a crime.
@@mrusername3438 Yes, it was harshly enforced on women. Men often spent leisure time in the brothels and that was common. Of course, they had to be smart. But commonplace
I assume there tales from the medieval times rather than tales of....
Tales of what?
Do more food videos
Eating the heart of your lover, sounds good to me! I would have thanked my husband.
🤯
The last one💀
And they say Hollywood doesn't have enough scripts for good movies. Of course, they can wokefy them and turn into shit.
Your videos have improved as you're not using the "modern" stock footage.
The children were Hulk babies 😜😉😜😉 You don't like it when I'm angry.
The green kids were just Slavic children
How can.two.coffins face each other? Were they standing up?
No. They probably have carved faces facing each other.
These accounts go far to explain why so many familiar fairytales have such "Grimm" original versions. ='[.]'=
Hahahahah
Show video witches medieval times
But are they actually true?
Wouldnt be surprised if most of them are. The medieval ages were crazy times.
Algorithm rea
7:11 aliens….. no..?
Witches in medieval times
Estavas linda Inês posta em sossego
Dos teus anos colhendo o doce fruto
Dsquele engano d'alma ledo e cego
Que a fortuna não deixa durar muito.
