All of the seriousness and violence of this aside 🤷♂️ You have to admit that story about the guy who got revenge for his wife in front of everyone 💯 that was pretty epic
It timed perfectly with the audible gust of air that left my nostrils... which as we all know is translated through Internet as a 10 character long capital LOOOOOOOOL
A better question would be: what were you doing in past lives around this time? If something traumatic enough did happen, there's a chance you'd remember. Maybe try some regression and see what turns up.
Yeah. I don’t know why till death do us part is still in marriage though when it’s changed feelings or love for another that easily ruins children’s chance at a two parent household. the kids suffer now being used as leverage to control, told that daddy ain’t shit and at the same time has to listen to step dad carl. Such a better time now!
@RubyTwoBears riiiiiight.. and that‘s why he kissed and promised to return to her, later on tightly embracing her after almost having been killed in combat. sure. he saw her as nothing but his property.
We should settle a divorce by appointing lawyers as champions. The lawyers would fight to the death in a pit. The winner's client gets all the money. At least we would have less lawyers.
Lawyers are what save us from the avarice and cruelty of people with more money and or power. They literally protect the rule of law. This guy thinks the Sacklers are just some innocent business-people. Can't send any Lawyers after them cus Lawyers are the bad guys, not the people creating a nation of people with addiction problems. (Which is true, opiate addiction is directly related to supply. The more supply = the more substance use disorders) *gets off soapbox* Pologies about that.
I usually listen to these videos as an "audiobook" but when I do watch, the clips and pictures you guys choose are brilliant, the cat being touched as euphemism for examination down there and the guy hiding dressed up as a bush idk it's funny thanks for making me smile
I'd reconsider the statement regarding horses and bride price. A horse was not even remotely 'trivial'. It may seem so in the contemporary context. A trained destrier is roughly the equivalent of a Bugatti Veyron. The majority of people travelled on foot and via waterways, so a horse is serious coin and an important status symbol for the recipient.
The Last Duel was such a good movie. I’m saddened that it didn’t do well at the box office. I think it’s in part to it not being advertised as best as it should’ve been.
Just imagine the PPV revenue that could be generated by televising, streaming, and selling tickets to Mortal Divorce Kombat...and if Michael Buffer isn't ring announcer that would be such a missed opportunity.
"Women would be asked to urinate on demand because it was wrongfully thought that women could not perform this bodily function if their hymen was still there." Woman 1: "Wait, they thinketh we womenfolk cannot -" Woman 2: "Shhhhhh, that which they doth not know can nary harmeth them."
i can't imagine having to hold in going to the bathroom around a bunch of dumb dudes who thought women didn't pee if they were virgins. xD And i thought the "women don't fart" memes were dumb. The male half of society has not improved at all. Same shit different year.
@@greatpower6063 Lol. Kinda easy to claim you are a virgin. I mean, just don't pee on demand to prove it. But that's nonsense anyhow. Then again those assumptions were probably born in some monk's head and written down at a monastery for all we know - and he had likely been left to grow up at a monastery around about 7 years old - so what the hell did he know. Just one more of the religious nonsense thought up by men who weren't necessarily that knowledgeable about the way things work anyhow. Not that there wasn't a lot of monks visiting the local whores too. But I suspect that it may have been a bit different sort of a man who would have written all those things they then put in writing about women and those who just decided to 'have fun' per say.
I don't remember any record mentioning any actual judicial duel with a woman fighting. It was much more likely for a woman to bring a champion and these techniques shown in codex were mostly speculative. Not to mention a married couple fighting to death like this sounds pretty far fetched even for medieval times.
So much for trans “women” in physical competition against women today… The medievals had a more realistic perception of things in this regard than many people alive today.
Woman: I want a divorce Man: Fine but I want the ye olde dog and the ye olde bookes. Woman: Over my dead body Ye Olde Wiz and Boomstick: It's time for a divorce baaattleeeee.
3rd or so vid of yours and of the medieval channels i tried, you're diamond. I have an extensive period series to write, the longest of any of my medieval stories and found me a bounty of information. SUBBED.
This is why I pursued a degree in Humanities, useless as it seems now. However, Humanities is so different from simply history. Humanities is a peek into the way people thought at certain points in history. Thank you for the very intelligent and fascinating posts.
Imagine, defending your wife's honor with your lives on the line and coming out victorious. What a feeling that must have been. Kudos to the French power couple!
I really enjoyed "The Last Duel", by Ridley Scott, though it was not very successful. Comer, Driver and Damon did an excellent job. Too bad many people did not appreciate it.
I am highly shocked that rape was a crime, even tho they didn’t have all the facts right about rape I’m shocked that it was not just considered the woman’s fault and her just getting murdered back in those times.
It wasn't as bad for women in the past as modern feminists have lead people to believe. They pick and choose the worst examples throughout the world, and pretend it was that way everywhere, until feminism was created. Our actual history is much more diverse, taking place over thousands of years, across many different countries, and cultures. While there were negatives for both men and women, overall there was an attempt made to be fair.
I appreciate the cat being shown after referencing women getting their genitalia checked 😂 I can't believe how wild and hardcore things were back in the day.
well when life expectancy is only about 30 it makes more sense. being a certain age is also somewhat arbitrary when it comes to nature and how that works. if you are going to say I'm some sort of weirdo then prove what I said to be untrue.
@@wades623 life expectancy wasn't actually that low, its just and average of all deaths that gets dragged down a lot by the high rate of infant mortality. Anyone who reached 5 was probably going to live to old age.
If you feed people enough that is not biologically wrong but is very stone age, when people may not expect long life. In hindsight, gross. The logic is there but ewww, nasty
"Justice by combat". Nice, my culture of origin works like that. If I can find a woman who can beat me one in one I'd marry her, but I doubt she'd accept my offer, as she'd find someone who could better her...:(
I really really love these lil documentaries about life in these times!!! So I have started to slowly buy n collect gold. I started at 1 gram about 3 months ago. Now have 8 grams gold and 1 ounce silver with two lil extra bars one 5gram one 10gram. So one and a half ounces of silver and only 8 grams gold. What would this be worth in these times please? Can I buy a loaf of bread or a house? Maybe a horse? It would be super cool to know please mate
Good Lord! Could you imagine someone from this time having to go back to that time and be in there with all this strict crap or someone from that time being brought into our entitled world where we just do whatever we want!?!?! Either way would be crazy! I’m so glad I live in the time that I do and not any earlier or actually even later because I think the future’s gonna be just crazy And even more stuff will be monitored like you won’t be able to pee without someone knowing about it in the future
There sounds like so many laws and rules for people to follow back then. Did the common peasant even really know all these laws or what their rights and options were back then?? Or were most of them unaware of the nuances involved??
You should check out the channel modern history. They talk about medieval peasant life in more depth it wasn't as entirely bad as this guy is making out in his videos.
Interesting that presented this so one-sidedly, as if the male peasant was free to do as he pleased, or the male aristocrat wasn't as bound to the rules of marriage-treaty as the female... I will present this hint, and nothing more, love as the motive of marriage is a privilege suitable to times when technology relieves _both_ the male partner of the risks of his role and the female the toil of hers. When his life is nothing but labor, and hers also nothing but labor... the survivability and compatibility of each takes precedent.
The pit battle would be my undoing, my (soon to be ex) wife is taller than I am and on top of that I have short arms for my height. Probably still better than getting a divorce ha ha
It is interesting to note st Augustine was responsible for the Catholic objections to divorce what she believed is not terribly important he had no direct contact with Jesus and he was not a mistake hundreds of years after Jesus my opinion is better than his many respects as I have received revelation from God when I was a child which led me to believe divorce is permissible and so is polygamy
