The Exhumation of Lord Byron - Fickle Fate Series 

“Always laugh when you can, it is cheap medicine.” ― Lord Byron (subtitles in all major languages!! - If you'd like me to add one, just ask me) This video was uploaded to Patreon 2 years ago - all my new content gets posted there first, so I don't have to bow to the YT censors. My patrons support my work so I can continue. But the older videos like this one, eventually come here.

Oh Oddie your change of voice to emulate one of the workman’s is awesome! Back to the video!

Oddie, I was delighted! What a story 😂 and with you as narrator. One couldn't ask for more. Hope you and Oddette have had a lovely Easter 💐

I was literally wheeze-laughing. Lord have mercy. That was the most hilarious thing I've heard in quite some time.

This is great and may I say absolutely hilarious, I can’t say I have ever laughed so hard about the exhumation of any corpse (well I don’t think I’ve laughed about any until now), this narrative is great and humorous, listening to you make little comments about his bits and bobs, the fact that everyone was obsessed about his naughty bits, “hung like a pony” still makes me giggle, thank you Oddie, I hope we get to enjoy more of these, I love this!!! Cheers my friend!!!!

Well-done and entertaining as always. Thank you!

I enjoyed this format, and I encourage you to do those other stories, too. I did enjoy the inclusion of your traditional form at the end. I would hate to see your usual style abandoned completely. Maybe mix a few Oddie's shops, rats, cats, smoke, etc within the newer format? Love your channel, Oddie!

I appreciate your style Oddie.

Blessed Sunday sir oddie & family thank you so very much ❤

Never a dull story from you ever but this was a doozie!! And I absolutely loved it!!!

Absolutely fantastic I am 64& have fascinaton with Bryon, Shelley, and the like for many years,,, happy bunny egg day😊only you oddie could bring new input,info with our more colorful fellow humans

love the story telling along with the presentation ❤❤ please keep it going you manage to find stories that I've never heard of 😊😊😊

Another great story done by Oddie. Cheers and Happy Easter from California

Wooo hooo this is gonna be good 🎉. Nice and bad, bad 👍 love how he dressed. Byron was a legend ! He and Rasputin should have had a competition. 😂Ada Lovelace was the first “software programmer”. She was a mathematician like her mother. She worked w Babbage on his calculating machine. Love the humour 🤣

You're right, that was different, but entertaining. I have to agree with you on the mausoleum. I'd go with something like that myself.

I have to tell you,this is the first of your videos that made me laugh😂

I enjoyed this format. Poor Lord Byran though. I hope people are leaving him alone.

So funny. 😂 Great video. I needed a good laugh.

Now's the 200th anniversary of Lord Byron's death. There should be a video on him next. A very controversial, perplex and messed up life. Oddie, do you believe the rumours about him, and Augusta's relationship were true and the one about Augusta's daughter Elizabeth Medora Leigh being the product of that relationship?

Hello from Michigan Mr. Oddie. Why not a mausoleum filled with a virtual reality of places, people and objects from the stories you tell. Where the visitor could interact. Now that would be very exciting to see!

best edition ever! and I love you idea of post death entertainment. Id pay!

This was so interesting!! And I laughed way more than I should have! 😂😂😂🤭🤭

Having quite recovered from my bout of faintness, I must ask: I have always heard that Byron wanted to be buried with his favorite dog, a Newfoundland which died several years before The Man, himself. What's the story there? It has for years made me like Byron even better than just his work (and adventures).

They were off to see the Whizzer 🙄

He wrote the popular version of Don Juan Ida wrote the first algorithm so they say … Castenettes was supposed to have contacted some Don Juan …😊

Aren't the leaded shells soldered shut to preserve the bodies? How did they get thru that? I doubt it was restored. They should have left him alone. Interesting story tho. If I wasn't a dedicated smoker, I'd hike 3/4 up Mt. Everest and finish up there. You freeze and they don't take you down...or have voyeur parties. 😝

Happy Easter 🐇🐣🐰 dear

Same ideas of my mausoleum. I can show u a picture lol

😂😂 amazing and amuzing. Thank you ❤ P.S. - I didn't faint 🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣 you are so funny.

What an odd story😮

First off...I would hope that you & dear wife live a long, long & healthy wonderful life❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Whatever way you want to do your wonderful videos is fine with me ! Maybe you could have a staircase-- folks walk down & then your room could be large - like a big basement. And have a ray gun to ZAP anyone trying to mess with your building ect. & they'd go up in smoke-- that way no smelly bodies 😊 Some movie Robin Williams was in -- they had a computer type headstone that would show your life story if I remember right. Having had a Scottish grandfather to save money I'd probably be buried in a Vet cemetery for free😊. But my picture & military info is in the woman's Vet building in Washington. The above ground bit -- sooner or latter the building will fall into disrepair -- like the writing on headstones right? If I have any $ when I die I'd rather it go to say an animal rescue shelter or a fire or a department or police department -- or something like that then pay some rich cemetery folks who may or may not keep up the cemetery. 🎩. \ 💀 Your best 'asset' is your beautiful loving soul -- 'that' will live on forever.

✌️

Oddity’s channel is excellent to begin with but oh boy, you know it’s good when it’s a tale from the mausoleum…

The format is fine. I trust your editorial accuracy, and enjoy the epilogues. You rock, ObsOddi.

I absolutely love when I receive a notification that there is a new video from Oddie!!😊 **Happy🐰Easter to ALL!!🙏 **Much love & Best Wishes from Pennsylvania!!💜

First time I laughed at one of your videos, the part about the horse 😂😂 Happy Easter 🐣

I love Lord Byron, my favorite is Lines Inscribed Upon a Cup Formed From a Skull "Where once my wit, perchance, hath shone, In aid of others' let me shine; And when, alas! our brains are gone, What better substitute than wine? " Thanks Oddie!

One can never have too much information about our famous poets! I did not faint, but I did giggle. Thank you Oddie for another interesting video. Happy Easter to you and Oddette. ♥️

Great video oddie, I grew up in the town of hucknall and you can visit and marry at his home in new stead abbey. My brother married and had his children christened there. Lord Byron’s tomb was closed up completely due to vandalism. Remember my parents telling me he was good friends with the shellies xxx

I live near Lord Byrons old house (1 of them) in the North East England its since been a hospital where my grandmother worked for a time, then it was converted to a 5 star hotel and spar named Seaham Hall Hotel, located off a road named Lord Byrons Walk, I was however unaware of this regarding his corpse! 😂

It is interesting that Sir Richard Francis Burton , made a few brief but written remarks about Byron. An excellent documentary, would be about Sir Richard Burton and his tomb at Mortlake cemetery.in London. There is an engraved silver disc placed in the ground behind Burtons tomb. I placed it there in 2012.

What weird story. I love your stories. Love to you Oddie and Mrs Oddie . Happy Eastery friend. Love always! Be safe.💕💕💙

Loved this so much! A thousand thanks. Your mausoleum looks and sounds divine. Perfect for you. Haven't decided upon my own yet. Always loved Lord Byron. Such a beautiful brilliant man. Never knew he was so well endowed. I would have loved to have had a peek. Cheers. Much love from Oregon.

This format is just fine. Seems like all concerned were eager to see true or not about Byron's enormous body part. Well done!!

Barber's 'sense of reverence and decency' didn't stop him from digging up graves and exhibiting the dearly departed's private parts, though, did it?

Very entertaining. Loving the format, Oddie. And the chat at the end finishes it off lovely. TY for all you do! And I'm wondering if Lird Byron had big feet . . . ? 😅❤

Loved it so much!! I've always wondered about Lord Byron. The description "he had an enormous shlong" had me in tears and snickering like Beavis and Butthead. I had to replay so i could hear what was said after that. Also the colorful nicknames of his ancestors. Makes you wonder what they did in life that caused those monichers to be memorialized.

Back in the day when they took photos of their dead to make them look alive, now that's some creepy sh...t! Loved the Lord Byron story. Love your claim story telling. Love your sense of humor!

I love the true story of Doctor Joseph Mortimer Granville. Women would start out with weekly appointments. Then just had to go daily for their doctor appointment. LMAO

Wow! Another wonderful, odd story! I did blush!! Thank you for sharing!! Happy Easter to you and oddette!!❤

I live in Hucknall and the towns people use to have a weeks celebration each year for Lord Byron, this was due to the good he did for the miners in Hucknall, then Covid came along and this stopped. He wasn’t all bad. His sister Ada Lovelace was the first Computer Programmer, clever family🇬🇧💕

Another intriguing story Oddie! Thanks and Happy Easter🐣🐇🤟

Great story Oddie!!! Family history says I am related to Lord Byron on my father's side. I think he would have enjoyed this presentation, from what I've read about him he had quite the ego and twisted sense of humor. Cheers to this tale. Happy and Blessed Easter, take care, and best to you and Oddette!!!

The Byron family nicknames were hilarious lol

Quite a tale of Lord Byron. Well, seems he enjoyed life to the best way he could. Thank you Oddie. Happy Easter.

My comment is going to cover two comments. I apologize in advance. 😊 I have to say that I have met a man who was built like the proverbial ’horse’. Don’t be jealous ladies. Unless you’re built like the ‘mare’, there’s a lot that goes to waste. 🤭 And, Oddie, I thought I was the weird one because of my plans for my funeral. I’d like to have party hats, horns, and favors given to everyone as they arrive. AND, I want to hire someone to dress up as ‘The Grimm Reaper’ and come into the church around the middle of the service and say, “The party’s over. I’m here to get her.” The have him burst out laughing and say, “Naw. Just kidding! Let’s party!!” Have him put on his party hat, start blowing his little horn, and encourage everyone else to do the same because I lived to help people find a reason to laugh. So, one last laugh with me, please. 😃😃

😂😂 Seymour Cox😂😂😂 ....idk why i can't stop giggling!

Right on time Mr beau

What an “interesting “ discovery. Excellent story. Thank you Oddie Beau.

Well, the more things change the more they remain the same,

Oh my! (fanning myself to keep the vapors away)

I've heard that lead coffins worked well for preservation.

For some reason I have the feeling Byron would think it was funny

Happy Jesus zombie day everyone !

Mad bad and dangerous to know. I prefer Keats and Shelley

We used to have a pizza parlor in my town called Lord Byron`s

Oh...i think i have the vapors...lol...what a story. .thanks Oddie...please say hello to your Oddette for me...bless you both...i love your ideas for your afterlife entertainment for others...love your thinking...lol...

Bart Simpson, Seymour Cocks, Lady Lovelace, hung like a horse oh my. Probably shouldn’t be laughing but I am. 😂 I liked the narration just fine. I love your afterlife place of rest! Cheers Oddie 🍺

Definitely some LOL moments on this one! As for old time alcohol "embalming" you are correct in that it wasn't arterial embalming like we have now. (such a procedure didnt exist yet, even intravenous meds for living people). It was more like what we think of with medical preservation or samples in formaldehyde (or your Biology teacher with frogs in a jar lol). A body would be exsanguinated and then put in high grade alcohol. For this to truly work you need medical grade alcohol (99%) but at the time they would have had only about 90%, and I have no idea what was used for Byron. But buying this much "moonshine" or similar put it out of reach of the average person.

I claim no relation to LB, but old Seymour is a cousin of the Jorgans, on my mother’s side. 😂 Another corker of a video Oddie. Notification 🔔 of your programs always brings a smile 😊

Nice video, I was born in Blidworth not far from Hucknall as it is called now and tracing my ancestors on my fathers side we all came from there. I often wonder if they knew any of them. His house is called Newstead Abbey not far from Hucknall, I've spent many a time there in summer in fact my mother lived in a house in the grounds before the war. BTW opposite the village of Thrumpton the other side of the A435 is the village of Gotham, sorry no Batman 🦇

I want to thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. I've been a fan of yours for years! Much Love from Regina Saskatchewan Canada 😘✌️🙏

This so interesting about lord Byron it’s so unusual that part of his body was preserved but it is sad in a way that those that wanted to see his personal parts of him but I really enjoyed it the video of the coffins were very amazing thank you for this great story, as far as my interment I’d like to be buried with my cats beside me if it came to being cremated then I’d like my ashes in an urn buried next to them

There's no way he was still lying there looking like the day he died it's been over a hundred years!! There was a pile of bones laying there😅 I found these people were just so bored.They had to make something up in order to make life exciting and not just death. Or maby he was a saint😅 could be🤔 but hey i wasnt there. Idk.

Byron is a fabulously FASCINATING character, the Regency’s bad boy, I love him. Never knew he’d been exhumed-excellent video Oddy! Thanks!

This one is different, that's for sure Oddity , But like always, it was good. Have a good day stay safe😊

I guess it's better than having a schlittle.

thank you very much - brilliant as always - excellent story teller you pay such close attention to detail

I have to be honest. I loved it. I especially find it humorous that we always chuckle at the same time. Heehee. But I have a story that make him look small. I know of a man, in the Town where i grew up, that definitely is bigger man. Get my drift?!! His nickname, given to him by his male co-workers is (drum roll please) : Rug Beater. Because he could beat a rug with it. Heehee. 🤭 I'm so sorry if I offended anyone. There's a more graphic way of telling that story. I just thought it was a perfect time to tell it.😏 Hugs,🤗 from Woobie in Massachusetts USA 😉

Oddie is simply amazing I enjoy his videos and Love his story telling

🤣😂😂I had a belly ache. Goodes me.what a story! 👍👍👍🧡

You would become a tourist attraction but that's not a bad thing!

I had a high school field trip to the local mortuary (the biggest business in that tiny little town). The mortician was very passionate about his work and we enjoyed it, surprisingly. He showed us photos where a flood had unearthed a cemetery and sent caskets floating downriver where some had broken open. I believe it was the 1930s. He was quite proud to show how the bodies looked freshly preserved but many had been buried for decades. After we got past the omg-that's-a-dead-body shock, we could appreciate that he was absolutely right. One kinda half sat up. One had one eye open. But otherwise they looked incredibly preserved. A really bizarre practice if you think about it, though.

This was awesome. I laughed at the description and your very expressive reading.

Hello Happy Spring.! Hope your doing well! Always a pleasure to watch your works of art! This is great! Great addition. Blessings!

Loved it! I myself would be happy to be planted in the woods somewhere with a nice natural rock to mark the spot that has a suitable shape for sitting on and contemplating nature.

Oddie 💀♥️😸Please 🙏🏻 could you provide subtitles in Portuguese? Please 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 Thank you ♥️😌🤗🥰 I use Google translate here to communicate with you 🤭😁

That was not rambling. That was fascinating 😊❤

EXTRAORDINARY!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

U ARE AWESOME THANKS GOOD JOB👏👍😊😀😃

I'm guessing you lost any pearl clutchers in your audience long ago! Great video, as always.

What a lovely laugh you have. ❤Wonderful😊

Thanks for another great video, Oddie!

Ah yes, Lord Byron! Even funnier the second time around! The mental imagery is priceless 🤣👍

Well, finally byron is famous for something other than his rather dubious poetry, which I never liked. Rasputin's relics were kept by three women from the Russian court, who resided in Paris, and an article from the 1970's measured it as excessive even in metric measurements. That story would be worth chasing up for your next foray.

Seymour Cox 😂

Why on earth did they bury the poor man in the altogether, anyway? New nightmare scenario unlocked. This is why I’m going to be cremated, thank you very much. 😬⚰😱

Great format!!! As a lady...well, well, what an interesting exposure of historical facts!

I prob dont care how I will end up - but my hubbie wants to be buried in a Tardis.!! Yes I was surprised too at the condition of his body. This wouldnt be the first time coffins have been opened to look at "the mystery of whats in pants" thing. That made me laugh, at university as part of my medical science degree, human variability in anthropology was a major part of our degree and has been a long held academic interest of mine. The reports of the impressive schlong of Byron appear not not be apocryphal. But like everything, that too is subject to the same huge natural variation. Unlike men our pair of assets are difficult to hide their size. I can understand the curiosity tho of what he actually looked like. I wonder if there are photos of his body in its state when it opened..
