- The Middle Ages were turbulent times. Constant warfare and disease meant that millions of people died all across the world. Some of the ways that death came upon them can still be recognised today, some are a little more imaginative. These eight ways to die give us an insight into the daily lives of the Medievals, their attitudes and the conditions in which they lived and subsequently died.

I love how everyone being killed in paintings from this time period look either content with their lot in life or just mildly put out.
"...content with their lot in life or just mildly put out"
🤣👍 Perfectly worded. I will never look at another painting from this time period without thinking of this comment.
They probably saw dead and dying ppl on a very regular basis. They ate meals in coffins atop bodies and juggled bones in the streets. Why do they suck so hard at depicting in art something they saw in life so often? Maybe they don't suck n people look calmer than we expect as they die?
Just what I was thinking. Thomas Becket looks quite happy to have a sword stuck in his head.
*sword going into head*
"Well darn, THATS gonna ruin the weekend plans then...."
Creepily enough that’s somewhat realistic. I saw a photo of a man getting Death by a Thousand Cuts and he looked strangely calm.
A Viking warlord dying from an infected bite from a decapitated head is the _most metal thing I’ve ever heard._
_...because he had strapped the head to his saddle as a war trophy to frighten his enemies!_
That was a Briton after decapitating a Roman I think, but yeah, metal AF
@@phillawrence5148 Ah ok, interesting. I know so little about ancient Britain, Scandinavia, etc. I’d like to learn more. Do you happen to know who the head belonged to? Just a random Italian dude?
I honestly am so glad "random pig walking in and taking a nibble" isn't a plausible cause of death for my kids.
that part was frightning and i don't even have kids
Pigs were more vicious then luckily they've been bred to chill out some
that got my attention- trust no friendly pig....especially if their name is Babe.
@@Knuckles2868 Not as much as you might think. Most domestic pigs aren't wild hog levels of aggressive, but they'll take a bite out of damn near anything that winds up in the wrong place at the wrong time. More than one murderer has gotten rid of the body by tossing it into a pig pen and letting them do their thing iirc.
@@sleepyburr oh I'm unfortunately familiar with Robert Pickton providing an example for sure
the artwork in the thumbnail with the guy smiling with a sword in his head is one of my favorites haha.
Ive seen a painting on werewolf where it looks like a giant head biting weasel lool
In my opinion, the best "death by laughter" is the Burmese King Nanda Bayin, who died of laughter in 1599 after an Italian merchant told him Venice was a free state with no king."
Also that greek philosopher that died laughing when he watched his drunk donkey trying to eat figs.
I guess there's something incredibly funny about animals eating figs, when it killed two guys. 😄
Mate I swear I've nearly died laughing at ppl crashing on a water-ski.thay where pulled along by a steel Guide in a big square above there head.anyway the way ppl where crashing and the look of suprise when thay crashed was so funny I couldn't stop laughing so much I couldn't breathe my stomach hurt real bad and my face hurt bad from smiling so much.mabey it was cos I was on L.S.D...
Dude didn't have indigestion. That's just a symptom of a heart attack.
we need a 1000 ways to die: Medieval Edition
I would LOVE that show.
When your fellow nuns are willing to help you make a mannequin, fake your illness and death, and get said mannequin buried in sacred ground to help you escape the cloister - all presumably at peril to their souls - that says a lot about the conditions there.
He didn't die from laughing. He had a heart attack. The indigestion was the warning sign.
To the Knights Templar who died on this day, Friday 13, 1307!
Road rage is my favorite lol, things never change
Well now we don't randomly murdered a man just because he was traveling faster lmao. Poor man, I hope that carters got their punishment.
@@muhamadsayyidabidin3906 idk where you live, but where I live you can easily get murdered for that. Or driving too slow. Or giving someone the finger on the road.
Road rage is real as hell
@@jordanhicks5131 where do you live 😂
these videos are absolutely brilliant! keep growing and spreading this knowledge.
Guvhbn
These are such interesting stories. Very well researched and entertaining.
Great video. Love this series!
Just found your channel today bro 👌🏻 love it!
I don't know much about the subject, but I'm fairly sure Sigurd the Mighty didn't rule Orkney at the end of the 19th century. Queen Victoria would not have been amused.
I was also quite amazed.
I'm no history buff but ya that timeline didn't sound right
Probably just a misread of ninth century with nineteenth century. Amazing what a teen of years does to history. 🙄 😜
I really don't think anyone made it out of the middle ages alive. 🙄 😄
You may be right. I know I've never met someone from that time.
Amazing 👏 as usual
Good stuff!
I’m happy to have found your channel.
This is GREAT stuff
Great video! The “c” in sceptre, is silent though
Part 2, Please!
The thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Again, love your content...but scepter is pronounced SEP ter. The C is silent.
Thank you.
This channel is so crazy 😲😳✨
finaly a video after my taste :))))
*describes the most horrific shit imagineable* See you later 🥰 cheers 🎉 💕💕💕✨
How do you hang a deer by its tail,it's tiny???? I honestly don't think it's possible!!
Right? A deer's tail is little more than a furry flap to keep the dust out of their b-hole, I don't think it's gonna hold their entire body weight up.
That’s actually the joke!
Did I hear you say vikings in the 19th century? I'm confused as to how that is medieval. Either way, great content
lets just call it "the greater medieval period" coz i really want the persians in this channel too lmao
I heard that too but I think he meant 9th century but wrote it wrong on the prompt screen
"19th century vikings"
Jesus christ, they've figured out time travel! No era will be safe from plunder now!
Oh my!!! Swallowed a fly!!!
there were vikings in the 19th century? this doesnt sound right.
edit. I looked that Sigurd Eysteinsson guy up on wikipedia and he was from the 9th century, not the 19th like you said at 8:25
Give the guy a break. He’s making great content with like 99% of no mistakes
Quinsy is what can happen when tonsillitis goes untreated. It can lead to septicaemia.
How fun!
Brutal.....
Lmao this content is supreme
Somethings never change . How many people die from the same things in our modern society
I've never heard of anyone dying IMMEDIATELY (or at all) from being bitten on the arm by a pig. How the hell did that happen anyway?! Even if it ripped his arm OFF, I can't imagine anyone dying IMMEDIATELY!
I believe the fly story. A few summers ago I went for a picnic with my brother, who was making my laugh li!e a loon with his joshing. That's when a gnat, of all things, flew into my mouth. I instinctively drew a sharp breath and sucked the insect down my throat. I tell you, that choking sensation was horrifying! My brother rushed over to perform the Heimlich Manuever, but by then I had coughed the gnat out. Today we joke about the incident, because it reminds us of a silly song we sang as children: "There was an Old Lady who Swallowed I Fly."
A good healthy bedtime story collection for your little ones. ...
Re: The Fly... is it possible his constituents poisoned him and subsequently lied about his cause of death? Sounds kinda like a sussy lie to me
Yeah I thought that sounded really unlikely too, but I don't think any U.S. government agency provides death by fly in the throat mortality statistics so there might be an amazing number of deaths in that manner. Possibly 100's of billions, even.
Is it possible nasa has secret bases on the moon. But lie to the price and it's classified
I fucking love this channel
Just watched this again and have to mention that the word "sow" rhymes with "how" and not "hoe". Also, I think the island you pronounced as Corsia might be CorsiCa. Again, I really do enjoy your content, but maybe have someone review the narration before uploading it? Just a thought.
I have tonsillitis right now
So you’re telling me if it were the Middle Ages I would have died this week from choking on a fly? Fair
It just makes me so happy that someone once lived named Walter Vigorous.
*A medieval painting showing a person getting impaled by the head*
The person: 🙂😐
Not a good time to be alive. Philadelphia USA
Philly hasnt been good for decades
Dózsa György's death was pretty metal to be honest. Also his name is spelled like: Dózs ( like the meme word Dodge) plus an "a" so Dodge-a while the Gy sound in György is similar to the D in dew, ö can be pronounced like the E in herd, r is pronounced the same then again a gy. But alas the pronounciation provided by google translate is also somewhat on point :D
9:34 "A crown for a king." - Khal Drogo, Game of Thrones, executing Viserys Targaryen for attempted murder by molten gold.
re 2:16, medical input...quinsy is still quinsy. We see it somewhat differently to regular tonsillitis. It's still called quinsy, but also peritonsillar abscess.
8:25 Wait, there were Vikings at the end of the 19th century?!
That's what I thought! I think he meant 9th.
I know I rewound it about 6 times to ensure I was hearing it correctly, lol. A mistaken number, I presume. Because otherwise, the content is stellar!
🎶There was a pope who swallowed a fly. I don’t know why he swallowed the fly. Perhaps he’ll die. 🎶
In English the word sceptre is pronounced with a silent C it is said like septer. Imagine there isn't a C.
Pig bites hurt way more than you would expect
Man it was like a bad comedy movie living back then.
Hooray for Joan of Leeds!
The thumbnail is relatable somehow
So they went to work on Dozier with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch?
1) Seems this is still tradition in London
In the deadly joke the jester is referring to having sex down in the bushes next door and that he's bothered by having been called by his own wretched king to tell jokes whilst his balls are now even more swollen. The word deer here has been transliterated from "game", and hanging from tail transliterated from "arse in the air". P.S. the first four deaths so far are heart attacks.
Too soon!
So was the guy who swallowed the fly, the inspiration for the song, There was an old lady who swallowed a fly, perhaps she'll die. 😅
I go through him everymonth. He's my main source of good amounts but that's because he doesn' eat them he only sells. Trust me he is my golden goose I'd be fucked completely without him 😰
"A so bit her". Jezuz.
These buggers were hardly a stone's throw from the Paleolithic caves from which they originally emerged.
What does rocked up with mean?
Arrived with
Pope Adrian IV, advocate of 3rd crusade , died while drinking water fly flied into mouth, Barbarossa died on the way to Crusade, felt from horse into a little 1 foot deep stream of water and accomplished drowning there
The viking ruled at the end of the 19th century???????😯😳
Is it possible flies back then were huge? Like gumball huge?
Did you say Viking warlord in 19th century?
Killed for "riding his horse too fast", this seem too close to a modern problem, put stuff in perspective.
Most of these death are relatable today
Just 8? Lol
guy instantly died from a pig bite on the elbow? lol
Not much has changed.
Or if you crossed The Hound.
What have I taken away from these vids?
The medievals were basically all criminals.
Thank god for antibiotics!
Another beautiful day of not living in the medieval ages.
None for nuns. Perhaps the odd smidgen now and then.
And bizarre causes of death/Darwin awards continue to amuse me even in these "enlightened" modern times. At least I'm not the only wierdo here. :)
Kinda sad the US didn’t have a medieval era
Bro wth is this statement? 😂
19th century ??? Mmmmmm.....did Queen Victoria know this??
She knew everything! 😉
🤦♀️
Soldier #1 - Hey, what’s the last thing to go through the prisoner’s mind when we execute him?
Soldier #2 - My blade!
Prisoner- Silently chuckles
hey bruv, can you do a series on medieval islamic world? that would be dope..
That certainly would be very
Interesting especially on the
Ottoman empire and the war's
Of Salahudin vs Richard the
Lion heart...
And on the legendary battlefield
Veteran who fought over 100
Battles and never ever lost even
1 of them he literally Shook and
Bought the Roman and Persian
Empires right down the their knees
Look him up if you may and just
Read or watch a few of he's videos
He's name was "KHALID IBN AL WALID"....
C is silent in Sceptre
8:25 19th century?
Mispoke
I think that English Pope chocked on an alter boy and not a fly.
Yes!!! like it!!!!!😂😂😂😂
Makes sense considering he's English.
@@evansellars8728 didn’t realise we had a reputation for kiddy fiddling. The church yes but didn’t realise it was specific to the English churches
@@kimberleysmith818 no the church and the English separately are kiddie didlers
I think you mean choked. And altar.
THE WORD "SCEPTRE" HAS A SILENT "C". ;)
The speaker does not pronounce english very well. Is he lower class? Or american?
You really do need to check your pronunciations. Not just on this vid. Eg a sow is pronounced S OW unless you are sowing seeds. Sceptre - the C is silent!
I like ya vids but these mistakes tend to spoil them and encourage people in the new world to keep pissmronuncating English 😉
He’s English….
The english are terrible bestia
The pope is not the head of the church, Jesus is.
Unfortunately you are incorrect. God is the head of the church. Therefore be ye smote by his holy righteousness for spreading blasphemy.
Is it possible flies back then were huge? Like gumball huge?
Horseflies maybe?
