To those of you being rude for him saying "Pinata". I don't think this guy grew up in the US. So he didn't have it drilled into his head repeatedly from elementary to high school like we did. Cut him a little slack.
I agree. One comment is enough. It's so annoying seeing the same comment numerous times. There's the option of "liking" a comment instead of repeating the same sentiment.
It always intrigues me how people lived with what they had (what else could they do, it's all they knew) even though I have studied the medieval society for years, there is always something new to learn and remember. Well done for bringing that time back to life for us all again 👏
@Emma Bennett Unfortunate that the most interesting form of travel wasn't covered in this video. During the Middle Ages, it was common for Nobility to wrap themselves in heavy amounts of padding and be launched via a giant trebuchet. This was especially important when Kings needed to reach battlefields quickly. In one such instance, when France and England were at war, the French and English Kings both launched themselves at the same time to arrive to support their respective armies on opposite sides. They collided in mid air, both falling to their death and thus ending the war.
Colombus didn't invade the Americas in a ship called the Pinata! The ship was name the Pinta! There were three ships in this voyage not two: Pinta, Nina, and the Santa Maria.
That’s not the only time chamber pots made an appearance for easier travel. During the early days of train travel it was not unusual for women to carry a similar pot in a basket so they could stay safe in their compartment.
Sir, I do have total respect for the job that you've done here. However, on that same spirit, I need to let you know that the name of Columbus' 2nd. boat is "Pinta" as in "mottled". The term "Piñata"refers to a different tradition that also was born back in Spain.
I just wanted to say that I would still prefer the mediaeval travel, since it is mysterious and adventurous. Nowadays, travelling is more of a job, then adventure.
Great job (again). Any chance on having you cover a weekend’s full of jousting & sport in medieval times? I think a lot of your subscribers like me would enjoy your take on the full spectacle. Thanks Again!
I love your channel! I enjoy every episode and look forward to your next one. This is such a well done channel! Definitely worth subscribing and turning notifications on. I love my 10 minute escape into Medieval Madness! Really makes me appreciate modern times and things I take for granted. Thank you! Keep up the good work brother. Sincerely, One Happy Viewer :)
What types of shoes were good for 20 miles of walking through water, grass, dirt, and stone? Did they wear multiple shoes or the same shoe? I can’t walk 10 miles in my Nike’s. What if their shoes got dirty in animal feces or got wet or muddy? Would they clean their shoes in the river, at an inn, or using well water, and how long would it take them to dry? They must’ve had multiple shoes.
@@Hexados-666 It allowed the rider to remain stable in the saddle while at full gallop while both hands were busy with things other than controlling the reigns. However, a horse can't run full gallop for 70 miles. For this system, they had rest stops staggered every 10 or 20 miles with fresh horses, food, water, etc. Civilians without stirrups would balance the best they could on a walking horse. Trotting or galloping without stirrups would very difficult to stay seated, and very hard on your back and pelvis. Also, traveling civilians usually traveled in groups, many of them on foot, perhaps leading a donkey loaded with provisions. Maybe even alongside a cart pulled by oxen. No need to go faster than is safe, easy or necessary.
I really like your channel, and I certainly admire the amount of research and effort you put into them...but the mispronunciations are really jarring. Sinai is pronounced SIGH-nigh, the past tense of the verb "shoe" is typically "shod" not shoed, and I see plenty of others have already commented on the Pinata! But please continue to make these fascination videos!
One thing most horse lovers are not aware is knights had two different horses. Besides the war horse they had a riding/traveling horse. The war horse gait was uncomfortable for much distance. Also, horses were labeled by their use instead of breed.
I thank God I was not around during this time period. I mean, 1 horsepower sounds like a cruel joke and without air conditioning is a special kind of Hell. The food sucked, Mountain Dew was not plentiful, if you got sick there were no theraflu treatments, and no vicoden or morphine tablets for miles. You couldn't go to the grocery store, Xboxes and PlayStations were nowhere to be found. If you were hungry the only way you're eating decent food was to hunt (which is okay) but you didn't have a sweet rifle in which to bag that deer. No, you had a wooden bow and that just sounds like the height of tedium. If a bear saw you, you were done.
4.24 "Routes were impassable during winter months". Rather odd comment, as sleds were quite practical in most of Europe. Many times it could be easier to travel wintertime with sleds than in summertime on wheels, as the "roads" were mostly terrible. It could even be easier for the horses with a sled than with a cart.
Also him saying that quarantine was at the forefront of a travelers mind seems rather inaccurate, it feels like saying that "throughout the 21st century, quarantine was at the minds of travelers" (assuming no further outbreaks)while it would just be applicable over +- 2 years

9:10 The name of Columbus' ship was La Pinta , not "the Pinata". How can you get such a basic fact so terribly wrong? La Pinta means "The Painted One" in Spanish and was the fastest of Columbus' three ships.

I had a good laugh about that too!
But it would have been much more fun if he'd discovered America in the Piñata!

loled at Piñata

Change where you travel to.
For adventure I would recommend somewhere like Mogadishu
The ship was Pinta NOT Piñata….in reference to Columbus!
I just saw and heard that.
Always getting the spanish wrong lol
😂 "Piñata"

Great video!
Great video, I expect that most people couldn't afford to travel more than a few miles from their home unless they joined the army
The invention of stirrups made it possible to travel up to 70 miles in one day on horseback, instead of just 7 miles or so.
I know stirrups are used on horse but could you tell me how it improved the travel distance?

@@stevoplex ah very informative thank you
You should do a video of how Christmas was celebrated in medieval times.
Great content!
Thanks good video.
Fun medieval fact: Animals could be tried and convicted for crimes, and if found guilty sentenced to death
Try to remain on topic...
Is this topic not about the middle ages then? 🤔
@@emzybenzey interesting fact! Don't listen to the troll
Columbus ship was named “Pinta” not Piñata lol
The South America detour was a weird one. This does give rise to an idea for a parallel channel to cover "middle ages" period on the other continents.
Correction: Columbus travelled in LA NIÑA, LA PINTA (NOT piñata) and SANTA MARÍA.
I'm medieval as hell and Im not gonna take it anymore
lol we still use chariots and horses in Romania lol

@@LuvBorderCollies I know! But caring for them and loving them has been the same.
Top tier gamer girl bathwater joke 🤣🤣🤣

The roman empire fell in 1453
Why didn't they just fly?
Why don’t they just hop on their dragons?
On brooms or what, kwasia.

It's Pinta,,,, not pinata😅😅

whaaaat? people back then walked? gee, thank you for that bro, i never would have guessed

I am sure medievalia as a subject does not always imply England, dude.
Again, the stock videos interspersed in these uploads are tacky. I can never continue watching.
Co\/|D is a h.().:A.:x
Andrew tate is correct about literally everything
Columbus’ second ship was named Pinta, not Piñata. 🪅
How the FK does even a computer generated voice pronounce Pinta *"piñata"???*
It was the Pinta not the piñata lol
