Andr Pratt the corn laws fucked over the whole of the UK but but did most damage in the industrialising areas of Northern England and the Central Lowlands. Ireland as an agricultural economy inside the tariff barrier was a net beneficiary but it was only the landowners and large farmers that got the money. The main effect was to raise agricultural rents and depress industrial development. So subsistence farmers were forced off the land but without the demand for either industrial or agricultural labour to soak up the additional workers. England was 100-200 years on in the path of centralising agriculture and had more industrial growth to utilise the displaced labour so the effects weren’t as bad. The acts were repealed in 1848 with the aim of reliving the effects of the Irish famine. Without them the changes in Irish agricultural might have been slower but would still have happened as they continued after the acts were repealed and Dublin and Belfast might have industrialised a bit faster meaning more people staying in Ireland rather than moving to Northern England. The corn laws were generally pernicious and were if favour of the established landowners but weren’t anti-Irish.

@martinan22

3 жыл бұрын

The vikings were much less successful in Ireland than in England. Since the Irish had never been subjugated by the Romans they still had a martial culture so the Vikings could make much inroads there. The vikings quickly settled for staying in their trade forts and buy the losers in Ireland's perpetual civil wars to sell as slaves to the Arabs in Spain.

@davidwright7193

3 жыл бұрын

Conn Benn you need to read the actual history not the Irish mythology. The corn laws were repealed as a famine relief measure designed to bring down the cost of food, particularly bread. That was Peel’s explicit aim in removing the Corn laws and it brought down his government. You will find some of the MP’s voting against repeal were representing Irish constituencies. In 1841 43 out of 105 Irish MPs were Tories who backed the Corn Laws of those 32 voted against repeal of the Corn Laws and only 1 of those lost their seat in 1847. One of the reasons repeal failed to do anything to relieve the famine was that reducing the price of food doesn’t help people who don’t buy much food in a good year, have little cash income and pay rent as labour or produce. The state run efforts at famine relief were run under the 1838 poor law. A pretty repulsive piece of legislation but the workhouses set up were UK wide. The soup kitchens set up to provide outdoor relief (help given to people not admitted to workhouses) was run through local government and any conditions imposed would be local.

This was my introduction to MATN. After that, I was hooked. I've enjoyed hundreds of other videos on the channel since. But the Last Viking campaign still stands out to me as the best. Love the historical background that sets up this incredible Viking saga - full of cut-throat ambition, head-ripping violence, knife-edge drama, and gut-splitting humor. Great storytelling from beginning to end. Skål, and would love to see you return to CK3!

Bonus fact: there was a Norse Religious Order/Mercenary group called the Jomsvikings. Their headquarters was located on Jomsbourg, a Polish island. They were mostly of Danish stock, but also had some Swedes among them. They were firmly Pagan, and worked to preserve the Faith, but involving work as mercenaries, they'd join on with anyone who could pay them, so sometimes they also fought alongside Christian Kings. They were efficient, and had a good structure to their Order. And they also were an inspiration for the later Templar groups.

From that intro I was sooooo ready for a Prince Erik the Heathen game but I should’ve known Jon would want to make things infinitely harder for himself.

This episode made me laugh out loud multiple times. "The Inevitable Jonsson" for starters, but then also that 'Count Toke.' He looks exactly like you imagine someone called Count Toke would look like.

"Don't really think I want the inevitable Jonsson as a concubine..."

I'm pretty sure Malin is a vanity character... one of the members of the Developing team. You should have just tried to convert her to Asatru. Give her a gift, make her your concubine and sway her, and I bet she would have converted... further increasing her opinion. It's too bad you didn't try to get her on side, because she was amazing at her job... and she's "a real person."

No it's not. Payed is only used when talking about nautical actions, like paying out a rope or a chain, or paying a joint. The spelling depends on the action you're describing, not the context. While you'll often find the financial version of paid used when describing the nautical actions, you cannot use the nautical payed for the financial action. I imagine the developers made the same mistake as you.

You are correct. And the time we said dottir for daughter Like Ragnarsdottir or Ragnardottir. Ragnarsson or Ragnarson Today only Iceland use it. The rest of us use surnames now which can be whatever your great-grandparents decided when the laws came and said we must have the same name from birth to death(or marriage) Like my 2 last names are names from the places that they lived. Nærøy - translation = a close island (an island close to the main land where my mother's family lived Tjøtta - a town where my father's family lived. There are also many people who's name come from the farm they lived.

She is an easteregg character with set name

No better example of someone being caught between two powers? Try Afghan Zunist at CK2's earliest bookmark: Islam to the West, Hinduism to the East, establishing a pagan Zunist empire is difficult to say the least. Just reforming the religion basically requires taking over vast swathes of Pakistan and Iran, and for some reason Heliopolis in Egypt.

Well, you could argue that "Heliopolis" is the city of the zun...

@@50mt No lore-based reason it should be, though, so I can only imagine that it's an easter egg or a developer joke. That being said, it is a challenge to reform Zunism, especially being a feudal pagan unable to raid, but the other 4 holy sites... that's a lot of casus belli to invent.

I'm loving this start - it's such a fun way to explore the game!

"The king of Denmark was captured" That must bring you back when you played as cornwall.

As a Norse Pagan myself, I appreciate the respect this video shows. And the historic value as well. Some extra facts for everyone: - Baltic Paganism lasted in an official capacity until the 16th century, (though holdouts remained). - Sami Paganism lasted until the 18th century officially. (Also had holdouts). As to the Norse Faith, it had holdouts into the 12th century in some areas, but due to the strategic importance of the Norse mainlands, it was suppressed heavily after the Christianization period officially ended. And these often came about by forceful acts, like the Northern and Balkan Crusades.

I just came to your channel on this video. Man this so hilarious and entertaining please keep up the good content 👏

Comes full circle. Jon got me into CK2 and here I am for ck3

I'm absolutely thrilled. Vikings are literally the best, always have been, there's no reasonable argument against 😉

Count Olaf: FORWARD, MEN! We will take this gold for ourselves! The people of Gotland: Howdy, cousin! Pickled herring?

It's good to be watching MATN again! I love his content and love his play throughs of these types of games so much! :>
