1:50 I meant Henry the Fowler not Flower but close enough.
3:08 Bohemian Silesia was at the time disputed with Poland so the zone of control along that entire border was very irregular and fluctuate a lot.
Also there are a couple of small mistakes in the map which I found out about later, on top of that the color coordination is mostly random, so over all the HRE map is more an artistic representation (which is still fairly accurate) rather than an absolutely accurate map of the HRE in the later 12th century. The map is also representing the HRE after the fall of Henry the Lion.
5:23 The current pope in Rome was Pope Alexander III
6:56 The Peace of Venice in 1177 is the same peace we talked about in the Guelphs vs Ghibellines video, as it was this treaty that gave the Italian city states their autonomy. This peace treaty was very big and there's a lot it talked about.
7:12 Conrad in the mean time got to be the Bishop of Salzburg.
7:25 Ludwig III divided the control of Thuringia with his brother, Konrad, so he wasn't an "absolute" ruler of the dutchy but he did hold the main title of the Duke of Thuringia so his brother was "technically" subordinate to him and they did seem to over all work together.
7:50 HRE didn't mint single coinage for the empire, instead various principalities were given the "right of coinage" by the Emperor which meant they could mint and regulate their own coins. Initially this right was given to only ecclesiastical principalities but by the 11th century secular principalities started to get the right as well and later even individual cities. The whole coinage system in the HRE is kind of a mess to understand but when you consider most people never left their home towns the existence of many different coins did not effect these people as much as we might think.
8:56 There is a whole political reason why Fredrik had the Diet of Pentecost in Mainz specifically. It was a power move to show Conrad that he is the Emperor and that he should not pull any kind of disloyal acts, like he did before with the Anti-Pope.
9:05 Interestingly the Emperor and his two sons participated in the riding events and the whole diet was cut short when a storm destroyed the wooden church specifically constructed for the occasion.
9:25 So the HRE was constituted of multiple kingdoms in the high middle ages. Hence it was an empire because it had kingdoms within it. The title of the King of Germany (or the King of the Germans) was the main and most important kingly title in the HRE and therefore it was almost always held by the Emperor or his successors. The title of the "King of the Romans" was created by the Kings of Germany to showcase that they in fact weren't just the Kings of the Germans but also the Kings of the Romans. This way they wanted to symbolize that they are the King of the Romans whether they are crowned by the pope as the Holy Roman Emperor or not. The King of the Romans title was basically made purely due to the dispute between the Pope and the Emperors which technically where sometimes just the King of the Romans as the pope sometimes refused to crown them as an Emperor. Think of the title of the King of Germany as basically the ruler of HRE who still holds power over the country just does not always have the title of an Emperor and therefore holds the consolation title of the King of Romans instead. However, sometimes rulers would hold all three titles at ones, sometimes just one title and they gave the other titles to their kids, etc.
Hopefully this short explanation made at least some sense of this very complicated mess of royal titles.
9:40 Basically Ludwig supported the Abbot of Fulda (who was also his vassal or friend or had some kind of loyalty to Ludwig, I am not really sure) to sit on the left side of the Emperor during the diet. This was basically a power move to have "your Abbot" sit near the Emperor while Conrad of Mainz isn't. However, this right (of sitting on the left side of the emperor) was usually reserved to the Archbishop of Cologne who threatened to leave so Ludwig had to deescalate the situation. This whole thing immensely annoyed Conrad because he was in charge of the events smooth procession.
12:25 Ok so it cannot "kill" you in just one breath per se but it can make you unconscious in just one breath in high concentration which means you then die of suffocation since you can't get away from the area were you took the first breath of H2S. Also you can drown since you know you're unconscious.
13:35 This is Henry (VII) Hohenstaufen not to be confused with Henry the VII Luxemburg.

how is this comment 2 days old
@@youytsk7154 well, he made this video public now. Maybe that's why
@@youytsk7154 My videos are available early on my Patreon.
@Daffa Mutaqin Tetaputra Could be, I always try to make the titles as short as possible (mostly without success) because RUclips hates it when you have long titles.
I thought it was always "King of East Frankia" rather than "King of the Germans"? If not, when did they change this and what source do you get it from? I know at least that "King of (West) Frankia" wasn't changed into "King of France" until around 1185, and I thought King of the Romans was the equivalent substitute in the east.
To be honest I love the strange topics you choose for your videos because they’re topics not usually covered so imo you learn more in a topic not covered as much
Facts
Same
Same
Nice name
i dont click on topics i already know a lot, even if it a respected content maker who I'm sure will have at least something I didn't know, not worth wading through 30+mins of shit you already know on the off chance you pick up something new all because you prefer the presentation of the information over someone else's content.
When we look nowadays at medieval architecture thinking how sturdy it is, that it has remained for centuries, it's only because those not so sturdy pieces collapsed.
survivor bias
it reminds me of a completely opposite example: Manila, whose cathedral got destroyed so much that half of the main door depicts the church getting rebuilt again and again while the other half shows the church getting destroyed, again and again
I recall once reading the Wikipedia article about this and getting a major 'bruh' moment out of it. Good to know the context. Great video!
He can’t do that! Only the pope can appoint an emperor!
Appoint NO
He could invite him to make him one.
If it was a enemy, no emperor, and often there was a anti-king at the "empire"
Sigismund of Luxembourg 31 May 1433 as last emperor crowned by a pope Eugene IV
In 1438 the position was quasi-hereditary for the Habsburgians
Charles V was crowned emperor by pope Clement VII on 24 February 1530 only because the pope was imprisoned, a false peace.
@@mangonel Respect people who got more followers than you ever can have
.
You must choose and got a lot of pressure all the time.
I don't believe but people who do let them do that.
I absolutely love your channel mate, before I discovered you I didn't particularly care for medieval history. But you sparked a real interest, and now I'm writing my first uni paper on the wendish crusade!
That sounds great!
Also thank you :)
How did it go, 2 years later?
I guess you could say the nobles who fell were having a...
“shitty day”.
The nobles that fell and drowned...
“ate shit” when they hit the cesspool.
King Henry must’ve been pretty horrified. He saw some...
“bad shit”.
One day, a noble was talking with another noble about the collapsing floor at Erfurt. When hearing how the nobles in attendance drowned in poop from the first noble, the other noble merely shrugged and said:
“Shit happens.”
Puns aside, this was a great video! The HRE and Middle Ages are very unknown to most people, so it was cool to take a deep look into a small conflict of this huge and divided empire. Looking forward to seeing more videos!
Reminds me of the joke about the people in hell drinking coffee in a room that had poop up to their shins...
Ba dum tss
*I saw some funny shit here*
Came for the poop. Stayed for the history.
This sounds like something straight from CK2
Your videos are always very well researched and detailed, I love them!
You have to admit, they can't say its not interesting now
1:50 I think you meant "the Fowler", not "the Flower", but it's quite a hillarious mistake tbh xD
Aaaa dammit, I am like Ron Burgundy. Spell check wrongly corrects something for me in the script and than I just read it without thinking about it.
Given the subject, ah, matter, I'd say it was a Freudian slip.
Your videos? Not being interesting? I don't understand those people.
taking 'eat shit" to a whole differrent level
This feels like ck3. I guess that just points to how realistic CK3 can be
Shit happens
I love your style of video. Don't be pressured to change! And your topics too. Nobody else is going to make such little known topics in such an entertaining way. You'll grow!
A fitting metaphor for the HRE itself
BRUH. LOL
I know you've been sad that YT isn't promoting your videos as heavily, but I wanted to let you know that this was a very good video and I hope you aren't too disgruntled
Can’t believe how well researched this was! How can it not be monetized?!! Thank you for this video!
You're the only history channel that went in depth in the history and internal structure of the Hansa, you're TOP on my list!
You’re one of my favorite history channels.
Love that you actually went into the sources and checked the wording to make it more accurate, as well as not spreading the numbers as if they are a sure fact, but noting that it is guesswork.
Great topic as well in general, love the whole political intrigue and system in feudal Europe, always interesting.
Yet again I had to manually check your channel for new videos, just to find there had been an upload that I hadn't been notified about 😒 at least I caught it early this time
Idk what you did but someone at RUclips must really not like you, bc I'm subscribed, I have the bell checked to all and all that, and youtube still refuses to notify me when you upload
Anyways, keep up the great work as always, also, I like the more obscure topics, like the Hansa, Early Slavic History or the break up of Austria-Hungary, if you enjoy making them I'd encourage you to continue, you definitely are filling a niche with them :)
Yeah, sadly there's not much I can do about it but thanks for sharing anyways. I can point it out to people at the very least. I definetly will be working on some obscure topics in the future so don't worry about that :)
I love your topic choice and content style. Don’t listen to the haters and give into pop history. Keep making what you want to make and I’ll keep on watching
You're vids are top notch man, YT is just a cesspool
You are underrated man
RUclips needs to push your videos
Great video,keep it up!🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟡
This is so weird and I love it
Tbh I still like your videos no matter how "uninteresting" they are, its pretty interesting to me
for what it's worth I loved the beer history and other videos
also nice fall of the magister instrumental, v good song
excellent presentation
I love your videos!
Glad to see the vid! (I got notif for this btw)
yay!
It is November and I am getting these xmas adds, Milka and KitKat ads for a poop video LMAO
Medieval Europe; what a soap opera...can you imagine the soap opera...
Why are you thinking of soap, I wonder?
Think of this from the perspective of Crusader Kings (either 2 or 3), this makes certain "noble culling" by players a bit more believable
Hi M. Laser, have you seen SunnyV2s video on how RUclips promotes videos?
I love your videos in particular the one about West-Slavs. Greetongs from Poland :)
The meeting was headed towards "the shitter" 😅
when politicians found the definite solution.
So that is how you cheat the youtube algorithm. A poop video. Thanks for the idea 👍
Well, I mean, we'll see if it actually works or not.
Man imagine studying so much law just to die by drowning in shit
I can't stop thinking about how many times did yoy said "Archbishopric" and how I don't think I have ever heard that word aloud, despite having seen it written all over.
The famous High Culture of Discussion in Eastern Europe..
.
*M-M-M-Monsterkill*
yea, that sounds like something that would happen in Erfurt.
Beautiful title
You could make a video about the Peasants' Republic of Dithmarschen :)
Your videos point to history often labeled as " uninteresting " while it's simply not true. Hanseatic league merchant was extraordinate, and fresh in comparison to other history videos.
There is no " uninteresting " history, and you can show that well. All of the topics in history are valid, but the " popular " ones are events highlighted in education. I could describe it as pophistory, it's not about how influential or how funny or how interesting the event is, but how popular it is in first place. While you highlight niche history.
I love the topics you pick, they bring curiosity to things that i could have missed. I appreciate your work and i wish you best luck
Omg, only 8000 views?! I thought this was posted today, God bless sir.
The story leading up to the great drowning are quite usable for a D&D campaign.
R U kidding! Its the TOPICS that draw me to them. Coomonplace I can look at everywhere. Keep the remarkable & INTERESTING TOPICS coming.
"Oh, s**t, holy crap".
Interesting video. Your effort is appreciated. By the way, I am very interested in knowing what your picture is displaying. A coat of arms? A sigil of some kind?
ruclips.net/video/5libyn4bDQY/видео.html
That voice change at the start 😂
Truth be told, YT really is screwing with the algorithm. I've subscribed years ago, and I've yet to seen your channel pop up on my main YT page once.
Yeah, I know, they really don't like promoting my new videos for some reason. Even this one.
@@MLaserHistory Which is regrettable, because yours is one of the most criminally underrated history channels on YT. If I weren't regularly checking your page for content, I wouldn't know it was being put out, despite the sub.
This should be a murder plot in Crusader Kings 3. Weaken the floorboards so the target dies in a pile of excrement.
With a 69% chance of success.
Amazing
"Wait -- this is gonna be famous, right? Aw, shit."
Can you do a video about Croatia?
Bro why is this video doing so badly? Interesting topic and it's well executed like always.
As I said RUclips is just not promoting my new videos for some reason.
Thank good not a video about the siege of constantinopel again. I watched already 4 of those lol. Like your original content!
What a shitty death!
Nice job.
"Everyone is always related..."
Did someone say Habsburg?
Even worse than death by dumpster fire.
Wow... now let's build a cesspool under the parliament!
Twil solve all of our problems :D
Scold me with your passive aggressive ness 😫😲😄
brilliant
I guess you could say the meeting went to the shitter....Especially after everyone else got into deep shit...
Well Scheiße.
This has to be one of the worst ways to die. It's not even kinda cool like getting blown up in war or dying in a high speed car crash, it's just completely undignified. Everyone who hears how you died can't help but chuckle, because you literally drowned in shit, like that is just an L on cosmic proportions.
Oversimplified mentioned respect
good topic.
but you are still talking like you are telling the resume of a boring day to someone ^^
etc. (RIP)
Erfurt?
More like Er Furtzt
ha!
Ich glaube nicht, dass ein Typ, der "Zähringen" so ausspricht, dieses 200 IQ-Wortspiel kapiert hahah
Wow the German "caviar" Fandom has deep roots! 😳
Could you do a video about early history of Croats?
about kralja Zvonimira?
How much does a king have to bathe to wash off this embarrassment?
My family weird HRE history creeps closer
I can't believe people say your video are not intresting and boring
And a shitty way to go…..
This one should be good.
Coool
Knowing how people are I just know that everybody shit on them for dying like that
The topics might not be conventionally interesting, but there's tons of other channels that cover those. It's up to you if you want to change into a more conventional history channel or keep covering more niche topics. Both certainly have an audience.
for me, all the topics you discuss are interesting :(
clicked on your video by chance, and the intro about your videos not being pushed i found interesting.. remember youtube is highly controlled and whether you like to believe it or not stuff like history and content creators is controlled as well.. what i'm getting at, you were probably being censored and when questioned it they answered in the comments with "must be topic".. right.. i bet they do not like the fact how large your channel is and is still "uncontrolled". ride on brother
I'm too lazy to read your com post, but having not logged in to Google for a month I found your channel in the 13-15% channels that have been left without a recent activity marker despite posting new videos in that period. I'm really sad that this is happening to you so this is a comment for the algorithm.
Heh heh, you said "compost"
Subscribed to your channel purely based off a recommendation from Oversimplified. I feel it entirely appropriate that a history channel got my approval purely because of nepotism and the approval of another leader whose motives I have no understanding of or care to know.
hello from a man that lives in Erfurt🤗
Interesting
I'm sorry what?
Did this incident change building practices?
If it did, no one wrote about it, so we don't know.
It's weird. Despite so many noblemen dying and it being mentioned in a bunch of medieval chronicles. No chronicle goes beyond the point of the event. Like we don't know what the outcome of it was. A bunch of noblemen dying must have caused some dynastic issues of minor nobility somewhere but no one ever mentioned it. On the other hand, this is not unusual for medieval writers. They often leave out things they don't find interesting and perhaps the petty squabbles of minor nobility over dynastic issues caused by this event wasn't interesting/important enough to write about. Maybe the event even wouldn't have been written about if the king wasn't there. After all, as mentioned in the video. Medieval buildings collapsing due to the weight of a lot of people wasn't actually that unusual.
@@MLaserHistory So building practices were not changed until the Renaissance or maybe the Enlightenment maybe? I wonder when that kind of thing was studied Europe-wide and then taught to architects and/or builders. When did building engineering become considered a at least a sort of science?
@@skybluskyblueify Yeah, I wouldn't really know about that. I guess a good place to start would be to look at medieval master masons (not masonic societies those are different). But I can't really help further with that.
Oversimplified bringed me here
Brought*
I just started learing about the HRE and this shit is just mind-blowing .... i like to call this "lors of the rings on stereoids" LOL
Anyway great video , verry funny , obsure and informative
Poop happens.
I wonder if this was an assination attempt by bishop of mainz rather than an accident. It sounds very convenient that the bishop and king of Germany just happened to be safe.
Nah, the bishop and king lucked out by getting the nicest (and sturdiest) places. Remember Hanlon's Razor: don't ascribe to malice what can be explained by stupidity.
It's Henry the Fowler, not Henry the Flower 😅
