I am a professional historian of the middle ages. The first two minutes of this video I was like "Oh my god, please, don't do that, this is absurdely misleading.", but you totally changed tack in the last half! This is really good and a perfect example of how many urban legends of the middle ages find its way into modern popular belief. The animation is really good too!
I know one day this channel will explode. While the format isn't particularly lacking on RU-vid, the narration and animation is definitely one of my favourite from the bunch. I really hope ya stick with it.
This channel feels both wimsical intelectual educational and entertaining . The videos are not overly long but they cover so much in so little time it’s a great thing to listen to while cooking or cleaning or just to unwind before bed while still being thought provoking enough to give the feelikg of wanting to learn more
@AriaChavar Obviously papacy would like to control the selection of pope exclusively to themselves, instead of letting random kings or emperors do it for them.
@@johnMckeown236 That's not the case. The Bible had approved translations in vernacular languages. Only unauthorized translations were forbidden, since they were specifically worded by their translators to support their preferred heresy. As for accessibility, the reality of hand copying books meant cost and literacy were the limiting factors.
I just discovered this channel and I could not be happier. I can't believe your videos aren't more viral! The production is so good and you are so informative. Thank you for making these!
Devastatingly indeed, I can’t believe how such a quality channel can have such little subscribers. I hope the algorithm picks one of their videos up and they finally get the recognition they deserve
Fun fact: the tarot deck has a female Pope card, nowadays shown as the High Priestess. It’s likely that the card was based off her during the Renaissance
I originally found this channel because I was trying to find out more about medieval bees wax candles lol. This channel is great for history buffs and throws in humor.
As many have already pointed out, I just stumbled upon your channel, and it has been an absolute joy. I'm binging all of your videos! Your content is great! Don't give up! I'm sure your channel will explode soon because your quality, animation, topics and humor are on point! You have earned a sub and a patron supporter good sir. Congratulations 🎊 👏
This is a fantastic channel! Sad to see no new movies in 4 months, but I know it's not easy to keep it going without $$ support. EIther way thank you for all the awesome movies, wish you best!
Great script, crisp sound, pleasing voice and dialect. SideQuest is just that, this is the SideQuest of world domination, great polish :) you're gonna be big!
Awesome channel. I do hope the algorithm picks up and you explode (in views and subs - not literally, just to be clear). Solid animation, very interesting topics, witty script. Well done, and keep going until you find success!
I like how this video here teaches Facts without getting boring or not being entertaining. Makes me wanna yell from the rooftops to all here: Oversimplififed, UpIsNotJump, Hbomberguy, Logicked, Zod and others do the same!

Just a small nitpick: the /gl/ in Guglielma (and in Italian in general) is actually pronounced in a weird way that I don't think exists in English. I don't really know how to describe it, but the International Phonetic Alphabet symbol for that sound is /λ/, so if you search that, it should pop up. Apart from that, great video, hope you get many more subscribers!
@@PawelSorinsky uuuuuuuuuh nope. Maybe that's true in other Romance languages, but for Italian, it's pronounced /λ/. It's basically a palatalized l, but it's not an outright l I think it's the same sound as double l (ll) in Spanish
Appreciate the acknowledgement that it’s a legend, rather than a historical fact. A lot of it sounds like a funny story that people would share in taverns. Quite a few modern scholars are comfortable with saying it’s just a medieval legend that regained its popularity during the reformation.
I was thinking that if it had really happened, the church would have been way more likely to cover it up. As in, continuing as nothing had happened. Maybe throw in some story about a miracle or something to explain things away. Not making it know a woman was the Pope, and just let her keep at it.
@@Ikajo I don’t think they’d explain it by miracle(implying a good thing happened). Just a simple cover up. The “black legend” that persisted in major academic circles until the early 2000s made all of these tales more believable in Anglo-Protestant spheres of influence. Just say a funny but baseless story about medieval Catholics and a lot of people will believe it.
@@bigman7856 This. I appreciate that more scrutiny is being put on this characterizing Medieval Catholics as dim-witted, violent tyrants. It's not really true, even many of the more brutal tales (such as the expulsion and persecution of Jews) are being revealed as actions made by rulers *against* their church's edicts. The Jewish pogroms are a good example of this actually. The Papacy generally accepted Jews (and used their banks/tradesmen) without mich issue. Hell, several Popes decreed all Churches were to be safe-spaces for Jews in the event of a pogrom. Who did want to attack and expel the Jews were secular kings unable to pay back their debts, so resorted to anti-semitism and superstition to root out their obligations. That's not say the Catholic Church wasn't a despotic government, but as a government, they were no more uniquely cruel than their Roman predecessors, and that includes trying to also maintain their predecessor's efficiency.
@@Ikajo I mean, it would makes sense for Catholics to spread this story to look like they're less sexist? Their church is literally known for old men molesting children, if this story was true it would make at least one of Popes not a pederast.
Great narration, very funny wordplay script. A suggestion, you could make one about the one time there was an Empress in the Bizantine Empire. Keep up the good stuff!
How is this only 17k subs, Iv watched 30min - 1hr long documentarys for the same quality if not alot worse lmao, good information and in less time. Well done.

@@kavky Do i legit have to explain to you Concepts like 'Different Angles' and all the other known-to-all-Humans Concepts that explain why its the most normal thing in the whole world to not have just 1 RU-vidr for each Topic?
phenomenal animation, accurate history, Plus that middle-aged male British accent. Why is this only 13k subs? You earned one more today at least 👍 keep going!

@@johnsix.51-69 bruh when the reformation started the Catholixs literally said that the protestants were followers of the anti christ, that the queen of england was the wh0r of Babylon and that england was the great beast, and that the end times would come soon. They also did this before during the Crusades, during the bubonic plague, and when rome fell. In fact, the Catholics have a far longer record of saying this whenever something they dont like happens...and the protestants have proudly followed the tradition. Gay rights? It's the end times! Any sort of war? It's the end times! Irreligion on the rise? It's the end times! A new sect of christianity is born? It's the end times!
Prophecising the end of the world is actually heresy in both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. No one can claim to know the exact date of the Day of Judgement.
I am so angry that I just found this channel just now... I could've watched more with this creative and funny content. Glad that I was _blessed_ by the RU-vid algorithm to show me this at the recommendation tab. This is indeed a very entertaining channel! 🧐
Hey sidequest can you make a discord server? Side note: You have no video tags or Channel tags on your videos/channel I think you should add them to your videos to help get the views you deserve! (I left a comment about this one time but it got deleted not sure why.) Love your videos hope this helps!
I just discovered this channel from my feed and my dude, you will explode soon. Push out a bit more of these hella beautiful and informative videos and the RU-vid Gods will reward you! Keep it up.

I was wondering if you would do like playlists based on geographical location of events, so like all the south America vids, all the European vids etc.
Lots of production value! By any chance has the artist heard of Don't Starve? Perhaps I am giving that game series too much credence, and there is an even more overarching art influence (for both?)
The oldest reference doesn't use the name Joan and implies a different time set in 1099, the debunking of the legend is mostly debunking the details of the later time displaced version. Kan Hus names her as Agnes.
Oh, I didn't know about Martin of Opava. I found out he was ahead of time in historiography and his masterpiece was very well designed. Also Guglielma (which doesn't sound like Bohemian name at all) being a daughter of Bohemian king and starting a heresy? So bohemian!

“Guglielma” (which, all due respect, was mispronounced terribly in this episode) is the female form of the Italian form of “William”, so it’s definitely not Bohemian in origin.
Fun fact: there was a second, quite recent time when a woman almost became a Pope. And not just any woman - the Virgin Mary herself. In 13th of May 1981 there was a pretty famous assassination attempt at the Pope, John Paul II. At the beginning everyone thought His Holiness would not recover, and to preserve the Papal succession group of students decided to put painting of Virgin Mary on Papal throne, thus crowning her as new Bishop of Rome. Right after they've put it there they claimed to have expirenced a strong wind inside the Palace, which blew the painting away from the throne. They considered it as a divine message (to be honest I would as well) and didn't attempt it again.
The first thing I thought about: (Monthy Python, Life of Brian) Brian to Ceasar: "my father was a roman" Ceasar: "A WOMAN?!" Brian: "no no, Roman" *Gets slapped
Spread this gospel wherever you find saxons butchering the GL sound. If i hear one tying his tongue in knots pronouncing both as hard vowels i'm going to have a stroke.
