If you've heard of Triboulet, it's probably from the story where he slapped King Frances I on the butt and used his cleverness to get out of trouble. But there's more to this story than meets the eye. Come learn with me on a journey where I suffer through the world of historical misinformation.

@enkidu686 11 месяцев назад

The idea of historians over the centuries mistaking a common french epithet for a jester for the name of one prolific jester reminds me of the infamous case of Prawo Jazdy's traffic violations in Ireland. After accruing over 50 infractions in a few years officials looked into who this Prawo Jazdy really was. They found that Prawo Jazdy meant Drivers License in Polish, and police officers had been writing that instead of the names when pulling over dozens of different drivers

This whole trip reminded me of the hole I went down trying to find an ethnic group in Kenya that was misnamed over and over and over by colonial sociologists and government workers. Really hammered home something a professor said about how sudden bureaucratization was one of the most potent colonial weapons. Also: France was a mistake. England too.

@sukulmati 11 месяцев назад

@@fluffyphoenix8082 The group I was researching were spiritualists (known as orkoiik) associated with the Kalenjin ethnic group. They came to my attention as I was reading breathless missives sent between British officials during the Mau Mau Emergency trying to account for all of about 2 dozen individuals. The worry was that they would bring another major group into resistance against the British and their allies. The difficulty came from early ethnologists and others confusing the orkoiik for the Masai's laibon (spiritualists) as well as incorrectly identifying their ethnic groups and clans. After I figured out that they often didn't know which group they were talking about I could go back in early ethnologies and papers to find individuals who I knew to be orkoiik or Kalenjin and put together their time under colonialism. There's a lot more to their story but that's basically how colonialism, through bored incompetence and arrogance, will erase people, groups, and histories without even knowing it.

I was just thinking this, because it's a great example of similar situations I have gone through attempting to research a handful of historical subjects or individuals.

@UnholyTriforceDelenn 11 месяцев назад

This video is so timely for me, because I've recently been researching the history of the "La Belle et La Bête" story, and a single Google search led me down a weird rabbit hole involving a university website, lazy citations, and Wikisource. The ton of internal citations I found there, along with text from an apparent earlier version of the story by a Madame Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve that I actually can't verify as genuine, is a whole thing. The whole "Trust me, bro" insanity is beyond frustrating for me. At any rate, my mind was left reeling, and I now feel like it should have been obvious to me going in that Wikisource was not the place to go for factual information. I literally went into this research thinking: "How hard can it be to find the true history of a story in the public domain, and perhaps even the text of the earliest known version of it?" Turns out, harder than I thought, because even though the answer can be right in front of your eyes the whole time, Google has a million and one pages that pop up in any given search, and I've likely been too overwhelmed to see it. So now, hopefully a bit wiser, I'm preparing to go down another Google rabbit hole. I think I'm going to need a few bottles of Excedrin Migraine and several pots of Tension Tamer tea on hand, because I feel my brain may very well implode. I do not envy you the pain you endure, Kaz.

Okay, okay, okay! Favorite thing in a Kaz Rowe video is now all the different words closed captioning used for Triboulet! Bwahahaah! That was awesome. "SleepLay" "To Be Lay" etc etc etc That could be turned into a drinking game!

What a journey this was. Appreciate the madness you courted while researching this. Also that shirt is amazing!

@Tsotha 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for yet another hilarious and informative video about an obscure historical figure I had never heard of, let alone knew that misinforming internet memes circulated about them that you had to clear up the confusion around, Kaz! You also look absolutely amazing in that jester outfit complete with matching detailed eye makeup.

As a disabled person, please do not call us "differently-abled"

@ScorpionClaws789 11 месяцев назад

Given her use of "disabled" regularly in the rest of the video, I think she was specifically referring to people with dwarfism.

@bestbi3587 11 месяцев назад

@ScorpionClaws789 okay, you could be right. I don't have dwarfism, so I can't speak to that specifically. for me though, that phrase feels dismissive and patronizing.

@crow5793 7 месяцев назад

yeah it feels back-handed to hear about how horribly disabled people were treated then have to hear the phrase "differently abled"... made me mad lol

@heidenrosleinmondschein3933 7 месяцев назад

@@crow5793 I've never heard that phrase before. Why exactly is it considered offensive? (I don't mean to sound rude or anything just genuinely curious and you don't have to answer if you don't want to)

When you started laughing about Pog, omg I needed that. I had just had a fight with my partner and it changed my whole mood. I started laughing along with you so thank you for not editing that out 😊

@shauno5888 10 месяцев назад

Your palpable frustration with the pseudo-historical runaround was absolutely hilarious. Thank you for greatly improving my dreary Monday.

I find it extremely cute and amusing that fart jokes have been funny for as long as humans have existed. Hehe horse fart and poopy. Slap the kings ass, he can fit so much classism in that dumpy.

Thanks for your integrity, a dying value to have in academia or anywhere these days. Your hard work is appreciated by this fan.

That fit for the video is just perfect. It's just on point for the subject.

I love the outfit in this video so much, it’s basically my dream fit for renfaire

@mariah5379 11 месяцев назад

i have so much respect for this work you do. the research alone would drive me crazy, and im lucky enough to have taken a class on how to research properly online - unlike many of my peers. the costumes and outfits are always so intricate and awesome. this isnt something im just realizing, but the hard work really shines in this video

I just want to point out that his wikipedia page got updated probably because of this video, nice work!!! Edit: If you check the wikipedia page history, you can see that the "tale" got deleted around 1 month ago. Edit2: Thanks for the video Kaz, I was about to go search for myself, and when I got stuck, I decide to check if someone else already went down the hole like CGPGrey with Tyffany madness. You saved my life lol kkkkkkkkkkkkkk

@melodeedoves 11 месяцев назад

Kaz I appreciate how detailed and thorough you are, also honest & conscientious.😊🎉

@nerdyrevelries422 11 месяцев назад

I always love seeing what you are going to wear in any given video because you take the time to put together something that matches your subject matter, but today's fit in particular does not disappoint. I think this might be my favorite of your outfits for videos thus far.

@mystery1317 11 месяцев назад

Coming back from my lunch break to see that Kaz posted, let’s GOOO EDIT: I’m OBSESSED with your shirt! Where did you get it??

@obsidianrosestudio2663 11 месяцев назад

😂 I was waiting for it to be Triboulet to have slapped the royal ass (aka donkey). Now I am so disappointed that it was a random edit to Wikipedia. As someone who will find themselves diving down research rabbit tunnels I applaud all the deep digging you did to find the answers though. Kaz, you are fortitude embodied.
