Are medieval SWORD FROGS historical? | MEDIEVAL MISCONCEPTIONS 

I read Shad's book Shadow of The Conqueror and it is amazing and Shad gets a million respect points. However, I am now a fan boy and demand more books. Stop shooting and start typing!!!

No medieval frogs were harmed in the making of this analysis.

What actually happened: One of Shad's viewers is a time traveler. Once they saw him say that this thing didn't exist in history, they went back and "invented" it, and started selling them to people in the Renaissance period. A very clever scheme indeed.

Shad, a true gentleman more than willing to admit when he's wrong and he promptly corrects the mistake. Also sitting 100.

Shad put all his hatred of halloween into that chair kick

Fighter: I sit on the chair DM: *make a dexterity check*

The "my ancestors are smiling at me" bit was exquisite.

Of course sword frogs are not historical. I doubt anyone could successfully defend against an army of amphibians bearing medieval tools of destruction.

I could swear I saw a frog dueling someone on the margins of a medieval book once, and thought this video was about that. You lied to me Shad, you lied. Where is the dueling frog?

Let's see : 1. Pepe the frog ✔️ 2. Skyrim references✔️ 3. Big dude wearing armor and frog and talking about sword✔️ 4. During a pandemic✔️ 5. In the upside down part of earth ✔️ *Yeah, we live in a weird period*

Back when I was a bit more suspicious of RU-vid historians in general, I actually avoided this channel a bit, but a few years ago, I saw that you did a whole video on being wrong. That dedication to accuracy and refusal to feed your own pride is why I subscribed and have learned so very much about history. Rest assured, my friends know all about machicolations. You also remind me of the many Christians I know who emphasize humility. All that to say, thank you a thousand times for not only accuracy but a willingness to do entire videos correcting yourself. In my case, it helped someone gain a ton of accurate historical information by learning to trust you.

Shad Fact: Shad will not eat Herring fish out of respect for his fellow named Shad.

One thing i like about Shad is he is always open minded.

My ancestors are smiling at me imperial CAN YOU SAY THE SAME *_YEEEEEEET_* I honestly died at this moment

Neighbor: MOIRA! He's at it again! Neighbor's wife: What is he doing? Neighbor: Something about Pepe the Frog I think

'This is a chair.' One of the many things this channel has taught me.

I'm now going to demonstrate how to sit. For science, glory and thy entertainment!

So if it is really called a Sword Carriage, and Shad is the entity that is moving the carriage, does that make Shad a Sword Horse?

Your book was great shad but am kind of disappointed everyone is not walking around with studded leather armor 0/10

In spain we call that "tahalí", if come from the shoulder to the hip, and "talabarte", if is a belt around the hips. Well known and used by historical enthusiast. (Also, i must say, good job with the novel. Shadow of a Conqueror was a great journey)

The chair execution was brutal, and I loved every second of it

Me: sees a new upload by Shad Shad: Today we'll be talking about ***sword frogs*** Me, an uneducated peasant: *wot*

"Even works for really BIG swords!" Is the greatest Shad quote ever.

Sir Chad of the Brooks, (second best archer in the family), single handedly puts down the Chair Rebellion. Cir. 2020

I saw this and was like sword frog? And deadass pictured a frog with a crusader helmet and a longsword

4:15 "Here in Shadiversity we do not condone chair abuse. We do however find it hilarious"

3:29 the most epic sitting explanation ever

...and so, Shad slept amongst his beloved machiolations this day for the sin of blaming his lady love Press F for the poor sod.

"bend thy knees....." *Daenerys has entered the chat*

Such a wise way of sitting. I'm enlightened. Thank you , Lord Shad.

On the topic of historic scabbard suspension, I have recently become familiar with "bollock pouches", which are used both for storage and to suspend bollock daggers. There are some excellent paintings of them being worn.

In German we call it "Gehänge", which is also a word for male privat parts.

3:34 Sitting 100

The PROPER technique for sitting a chair when wearing a sword is known as "the Riker technique".

Your skill in sitting, and especially sitting with a sword are legendary!! I was taking notes throughout the entire scene! Now I will be able to sit, and sit with a sword!!!

Love how you are always willing to correct yourself even when your only kinda wrong mad respect to people who admit they are wrong rather than doubling down

His name was Glenn. He went from being an outcast squire to slaying Magus, avenging his knight Cyrus, restoring honor, and PRETTY sure he pulled a Lancelot on Queen Leene.

No chairs were mistreated is this vide... Shad : YEET

Scientists theorise that if Shad would leave his chest bare his skin would reflect so much sunlight global cooling would set in.

8:37 transition between these two scene is where Shad's pouldron goes loose.

How could i not click on a video with Sword Frog in the title.

I love how humble this dude can be especially when/if hes wrong about things

holy shit that beard got fierce

chair: "my ancestors are smiling at me imperial, can you say the same?" shads ancestors that were proffesional chair kickers: :)

They're cheaper then other sword suspensions so i'm calling it historical if anyone asks

Shad: *Yeets the chair* Me: *spit out my coffee*

That Skyrim bit was hilarious.

4:07 I legitimately laughed out loud at this, and then immediately after shared it with friends

Loved the Skyrim quote I actually have heard that very line several times for the past 2 weeks 😸. Also I think I hear my sword croaking 😸

Shad , that beard adds to your look and the brigandine armor looks so great on you. I seriously think someone should make screensavers of you sitting down and looking down because it could probably be edited to look like some amazing medieval cover like Kingdom Come Deliverance.

You should make a Dark Souls 3 armor and weapons video

Title: Are medieval SWORD FROGS historical? Me, who played chrono trigger: Well of course they were. That's his time period.

4:11 jokes aside, I was not expecting that throw, how much force concentred in a foot what the hell

Watching Shad grow over the past few years has been amazing. From just being more lively, building the castle background, to getting a novel published, to purchasing land to make his dreams come true. It's amazing, and quite heartwarming to he honest

I find the lack of Chrono Trigger references in the comments disturbing. I mean come on, if we're talking about medieval sword frogs there's only one thing that comes to mind, at least in my mind.

Shad, please stop clickbaiting me. I was expecting a video on frogs, not frogs.

Glenn of Chrono Trigger fame: Am I a joke to you?

Shad's videos are slowly adapting to meme culture and it's absolutely splendid

I have never seen someone sitting so beautifully

I ca't believe Asher's brother started a RU-vid channel! Can't wait to see some archery videos staring the 2nd best archer in the family!

Can we start bringing Gambeson+Brigandine with sword wear back into normal fashion? Damn that looks good.

Why do I enjoy these random overly detailed videos so much...because your passion is infectious !

Therapist: "Shad with overgrown side-burns and fur-trapper beard can't hurt you." Shad with overgrown side-burns and fur-trapper beard:

I see you Shad, rockin that professional entrance with the slight zoom.

idk why but the way you said "big swords" 6:13 made me laugh and think about your prior video with your brothers and all the "shaft" jokes

The camera following the stormcloak chair absolutely sent me, in fact, it sent me further than the chair!

Dammit now I want to replay Skyrim. Love the memes Chad!

Shad haven’t seen your videos for a while, and it’s good to say you’re looking a lot better nowadays

Every time I hear Shad say scabbard, I think, "but Shabbards are much cooler." Also he has to demonstrate how to sit because swords, that's why!

you’ve really enhanced my love for medieval weaponry and armor, especially your brigandine

That was a good ending really makes me think how great Shadow of the Conqueror will be

I love how Shad actually admits to his mistakes instead of covering in it up.

Yeah right, the seat made _entirely of swords_ can't be sat on with a sword.

4:12 I didn’t see that one coming, I’m dying 😂😂😂

The kid watching over their fence: "Mum! The Polka-Dots Man is at it again!"

Thanks for going step by step for the sitting demonstration shad most people tend to rush through that

Shad wearing sword frog: *Feels good man*

i appreciate that when shad is wrong or even miss speaks he goes back and admits and explains to those who didnt know it was incorrect... thank you sir

"IT'S ALL HER FAULT!!!" 2 seconds later "could you come and retie it for me!" Reminds me of when I do that with my wife--blame her, then ask her for something :'D

Thanks for teaching how to sit properly shad, I was really struggling before.

"Here is a chair"! 99 thousand people- "hmm, Interesting"

Going back and watching the pauldron slowly coming undone was an adventure in itself.

I would love to see you analyze modern hunting bows. And if they can be made in medieval times

1:00 I respect people who can easily make that admission when and where it's due. One would be surprised at how that's not as common a thing as it should be. As Aron Ra says "I'd rather suffer the momentary embarrassment of being proven wrong, than to remain wrong and never know it."

Anyone else be noticing how Shad has gone from a super nerdy dude with a small sword collection to literally a medieval fantasy adventurer with muscle definition, dope armor, and decent skill with a bow? Like, seriously, shad be lookin friggin lit these days. I mean, nerdy shad was cool, too, but hot damn, youre straight up a dnd character, Shad

That chair kick was some 1st rate art

"for the sake of science, i shall now demonstrate to yo my skill and talent in... sitting"

The more i see your armor the more i think it actually looks amazing.

*SHAD* *OF* *HOUSE* *BROOKS* is He....The One Prophesied about, The Great and Honorable One whom shall removeth thy *LARP* *SWORD* which Hath been Stuck in thy Sword Carriage....... So when all masses were done all the lords (RU-vid viewers) went to behold the *SWORD* *CARRIAGE* and the *LARP* *SWORD* Stuck within thy carriage. And when they saw the scripture (RU-vid video) some assayed (trolled the comments bellow), such as would have been king. But none might stir the *LARP* *SWORD* nor move it. He is not here, said the Archbishop (RU-vid Trolls), that shall achieve the *LARP* *SWORD* but doubt not God will make him.

good to know i just got back from my longsword training today and shad made a new video

A moment of debate... One has to wonder if too much attention is being directed towards the *accuracy* of being labeled Historically Accurate. You could argue that if basic concept of the carriage was present at the time, then any form thereof might be considered as accurate provided the craftsmen were prone to embellishment. More often than otherwise, any given society had to have all of their goods personally manufactured which would have led to a generalization of such products as functionality would have been of higher concern than embellishments. That said, there are always those who are willing to go the extra mile in order to stand out from the crowd and would have cause to produce/request more intricate and detailed products.

This channel and its participants are an exact summation of the proper usage of the sum of almost all Human knowledge being at one's fingertips. I mean that as seriously as I can sound! Educational, wholesome, and, most of all, humble.

I laughed at the Skyrim reference

Australian man tries to breach the castle walls with a chair. More at 7

Gotta love the Skyrim reference

Found this channel form a kingdom come video. Now I can't stop watching. Enjoying the content keep it up man

Came for the Pepe, stayed for the knowledge drop

Can't get over how awesome the new armor is. And the castle. And the beard. Thanks for the info!

This was a really great episode of Sitiversity

You have a very understanding wife, and her understanding of armor and how to get you into and out of all the various types I've seen in your videos must be immense.
