Medieval Knights Were NOT Noble, But Cold-Hearted Killers 

Don’t really care

I always knew that there was a dark side to knights. When you have amour, a horse and a sword, you would think that you could get away with anything and treat people however you wanted to.

Italian: cavaliere (rider) French: chevalier (rider) German: Ritter (rider) Spanish: caballero (rider) Danish: ridder (rider) ... English: knight (servant) =? That just sounds like he is some serf, not a noble warrior. But okay, English ... You must be special, right?

It's just a bit weird for the rest of the nations of the Germanic language tree. We still have the word knight around too, it's spelled 'Knecht' and is largely used for farmhands or as an insult by school children :D But that's how the same word can have vastly different connotations in different areas. The equivalent of 'girl' (> Göre) is derogatory in German too, we use 'Mädchen' (> maiden). I'm sure there are reverse cases as well.

"Chivalry is dead" commonly said either by Feminists, or women. Little do they know about chivalry

Brent Gorgonio lol if you did your research you'd know most feminists stand for equality. just cause some of us are crazy doesn't mean we're pointless. if a man kills someone, are all men murderers? no. so if one feminist believes all men should die, that doesn't mean all feminists agree with that

Interestingly enough, that quote is more true than many people might think when the knights of old are concerned. Chivalry as a code was very confusing and had as many loopholes as it did contradictions. For example: The protection of women was something that applied to noble women, often going hand-in-hand with the concept of courtly love, which in itself usually meant showing dedication and almost romantic respect for a noble woman, regardless of any actual interest or whether she was married or not, but I digress. The thing is, since this was expected of knights when it came to the treatment of noble women, the aforementioned loophole often allowed knights the unspoken but fully recognized freedom to do as he wished with peasant women, including rape and murder. When it came to loyalties, a knight was expected to show loyalty to their feudal lord as well as their king. If a lord decides to wage a war against the king, what was a knight in that lord's service expected to do then? Which mattered more: Fighting alongside the lord who granted you with wealth (and in some cases) further power of your own, or remaining a staunch and loyal supporter to the king of the land simply because they are the king regardless of their own merit? It was a complicated and contradictory system at best, and a self-destructive series of pitfalls at worst for one who was expected to follow it. Chivalry was just a way of trying to reel in the knights, make sure they were loyal, and in return point them in a direction where they could do as they wished to anyone a lower societal caste as long as they continued to serve the right people in whatever way they were ordered. A lot of people also think of Bushido in relation to Chivalry, but I personally don't think Bushido was really any better. The Samurai were honor-bound to serve their lord, and what was considered an honorable action was pretty much anything that they were ordered to do in service to their lord. If that meant burning a village, extorting or even killing the people therein, and sacking their goods, it was an honorable act. Say they were instructed to assassinate a rival lord and commit ritual suicide as recompense. This was considered an honorable act as well. What is truly honorable and what was once tolerated in order for those in a place of higher power to get what they wanted are two entirely different things, and in various instances history will be written in a way that does its dead-level best to either cover it up or otherwise hand-wave away as much of the ugly truths as possible. One thing I find fascinating about history though is that somehow the past can sometimes find ways of rearing the head of that ugliness in order to bring further insight and truth to the world of today.

History is written by the victor.

Welll duh. Whoever lived to tell the tale will always find ways to exaggerate the happening events which then with twist and turns of time turn into something else entirely

Like modern day police officers too?

Samurai was a actually a social class in the Japanese society. You could sell goods at a stand and still be a samurai

This video forget the human element in the Medieval knights. The Knights are human outside of being use to kill enemies. Not every knight yearn to kill, just like every American doesn't yearn to kill. It's easy to say they are murderers, but when you're in war, the knight can lawfully kill the enemy as everybody in the world. What these guys want is the Knights to do nothing while the enemy is destroying their ancestor's village. If these people in the comment were to fight in a major war, they will be the first one to die for doing nothing but whining.

Ojanis Santana "Not every knight yearn to kill, just like every American doesn't yearn to kill." Ummm.. what? What does this have to do with the American people?

Ojanis Santana No.. the problem is that crusaders often massacred civilians, often for land that they thought their religion was entitled to.

@@samuelrodriguez9801 Firearms didn't have the strength to punch through armour until WW1.

it's good that the people in general (specially the kids) look at the figure of knight as a standard to follow (the modern iterpretation obviously)

True, infographics should do pirates next. Some actually did “good” in the sake helping thier countries, but many people still have idea they are sea adventurers. Also Vikings for thier pros and cons as well

I would also add that you should not make your mind based on shitty leftographic shows with partial and contextless information. A person that uses the etimology of " knight" as an element to his agenda is an idiot. Since, shockingly, people in Europe didn t speak English as a universal language and the different languages have different etimologies

@Mason M. This is literally false information. If the lords could not control their knights they would have fired or even executed them. If they raid villages from other countries without a war or order from their lord they would face capital punishment because they had started an unnecesary war. Some commited horrendes crimes just for the sake of it but then they were killed by order of their lord. There is reputation and wealth to lose given by their lord. In war yes everyone killed each other and knights were elite soldiers but they were not evil for the sake of it. Most knights were deeply religious and so they had a code that they lived by.

Yep, you're right. Knights weren't all one way or another. A lot depended on the type of knight, their location, their social status, holdings, and their individual temperaments. Geoffroi de Charny was a scholar. James Douglas was a freedom fighter with Bruce in Scotland. John Chandos was an English diplomat. These are just some of the knights who showed plenty of honor and chivalry.

Yes the real truth is more in the middle, not all knights were stereotypically chivalrous but they were not all ruthless in peacetime, everyone is ruthless in war, that is just the harsh truth.

Victor Barisov But there is an interesting argument that medieval people looked at death differently than we do now, as it was FAR more common. You should watch Shadiversity's video on the subject, very interesting stuff.

Violation of female nobles was considered taboo.

@@siyabongamngomezulu9743 But not violation of the lowborn. Those were practically an official pasttime.

War was never a gentlemen's game and those who believe that were morons.

I know it a lot of languages the equivalent means rider or horseman. Chevalier, Caballero, Equitus, Ritter, Vityaz, Ayyar.

Yeah the specific word knight comes from necht or any variation of the spelling in Old English but the actual word itself is based on the German Knecht, meaning heavy soldier. The more Latinised versions such as Cheval etc come from the various Latin language terms for horsemen. Specifically in Latin it comes from the Equites, the Roman Republic's and Early Roman Empire's soldierly class that was considered the Second most important class behind Patricians.

How much swords supposed to weigh?

@@BUCKETHEADache most single handed swords are 2.5lbs ish. While two handed blades can weigh 5-8 lbs depending on weapon class.(long sword-greatsword) you would get verry tired if you where swinging around 10 lbs often.

Brian Mead well. Not in French. Rider means "cavalier" in French, while knight is translated to "knight". Indeed, at first it meant any warrior fighting on horse But then became know as the noble

They couldn’t pillage most villages because the baron/ landowner wouldn’t want his, slaves/ workers, peasants to be killed, and a knight would suffer retribution from that baron.

He is likely talking about the crusades when knights were admittedly brutal, but they pillaged foreign lands, though they also were forced to pay for a lot of the stuff they got, because later in the crusades, they had no shield, or armour, no horse and very few supplies

Agree. There were some heroic knights from history which are theses men right here. Also, Joan of Arc I think counts as a heroic knight because she went off to protect her country, she wore armor even though she didn’t she still did great things, lead men in battle, and she succeeded on saving France yet she was unlawfully persuaded. At the same time she was knighted. She was very honorable, chivalrous, and heroic unlike most men who should not have been knights. Just my opinion since maybe I’m wrong.

Charles the Rash was slain in battle and left on the field. His corpse was found 2 days later stripped of weapons/armor and preyed upon by wolves and crows. His head was sheared in half from a halberd. According to the chivalric code he was supposed to be ransomed. It soon began clear the chivalry had no place on the field and the romanticized idea of honor was relegated to tournaments instead. The end

Because victors write history, the british empire was 800% worse than the nazis but they are still looked up to

The Stanford prison experiment didn’t prove anything. The data is biased. Zimbardo, the man who set up the experiment, made himself Warden of the “prison.” The only thing Zimbardo’s prison experiment is a good example of is confirmation bias.

Wasnt that the prison experiment where the scientist doing the study actually went and controlled it outright, telling the "guard" what to do and how to behave...

MyRkAcc That was one of the problems. One of the cruelest guards was simply mimicking a character from the movie “Cool Hand Luke”. One of the prisoners faked a mental breakdown to get out of the experiment, so he could study for a test.Then of course there’s the fact that Zimbardo’s data is inconsistent.

Killing was not accepted easily, as I said, but it wasn't as strictly taboo as today. Leaderships could send people to death, crimes were punishable by death, and war was quite a normal idea. There are various versions of history but there is also the general connection of how each civilization existed or co-existed. Many times wars were easily sparked compared to todays standards and crimes were heavily punished.

​@@Korksbebig Oh, ok then. Go check him out sometime if you didn't yet. He swings to the right when it comes to social stuff but he is neutral when it comes to castles and medieval weapons Now going on a little about what I think Yup. All we can do is guess. Sometimes we are spot on, sometimes we are simply tricked by beliefs or a false paths which evidences point at. I said that shad - and maybe you - use the notion that old people were different, I guess we are all the same, meaning we think in the same way, are affected by war in the same way, put up with or believe in bs in the same way, etc. That there were more conflicts solved by hand I don't doubt, and I also don't rule out good old corruption, abuse of power, religious ideals, deception and folklore also making some people spill some blood "for a better cause", and propaganda being used to glorify it while honor is mixed with success in war, so the younglings go fight while thinking they are gona have a blast and after learning it is not so good, stay fighting for "the honor". I also guess some people simply understood why they had to defend themselves or attack others, mostly out of desperation instead of tradition or even honor. All in all, I guess it's not like people were more ok with war and killing than us, it's just that they had to live with it in a more intense way. There were no pressure to follow human rights at the time, so people in general would not measure their actions as much and definitely not "stop to understand" most times. But we always had to live in society, so I guess we always had laws, some rights were still expected and the same kind of order as we use today was enforced, as having to respect others to certain extent, being punished if you don't have the power to get away with doing bad things and depending on the group of people, not having to care or, needing to be hostile or even take as much advantage as possible from the group's outsiders, misfits or lower classes Sometimes I guess the notion that caring about each other's rights and situations being a new thing is thrown too loosely, almost like the absolute default

Muh PC They were still terrible people or are you going to say that there was nothing wrong with murderers. Stop trying to justify this BS by saying it's all a matter of perspective moron. Everything is all a matter of perspective if you want to take that route. Murderers today aren't bad? See how stupid you sound.

Actually a lot of historians would agree with this video. Knights had more in common with mafia members. You can find this in many history books. And history channel videos.

@St0rm Ranger Knights weren't just in Britain...

Same. This channel should be taken down for spreading fallacies and stereotypes

Knights haven't been around as class for 1000 years, probably 600 years is a closer estimate (10th-16th centuries) . But there had been so many types of Knights throughout these centuries that this video failed to mention, there was the mercenary Knights that function pretty much like top class merc already geared with their own equipment, household knights who were paid with wages by the wealthy nobles, roaming landless Knights, landowning Knights who acted as vassals and so on.

Jason M agreed, I guess the point I was trying to mention was that they over generalized knights by a large margin.

@@joshuabernabe8420 and then you have Templars

I like em because they look like badars Calvary men.
