To be fair, knowing how often people in relationships accuse each other of things they are doing themselves. It seems odd that she would suggest annulment for being too closely related. Unless of course she was having relations with a family member, then it would make sense.

Ok, in one episode we got a prince killed by a pig, a church burning with 1200 innocent lives, a crusade disastrous even for the average results of those expeditions, pirates, a Pope serving as a matchmaker, and a divorce happening before Henry VIII. Ah, the Medieval times...

@Oxtocoatl13

Divorces were always possible in the Catholic church, if there were reasonable grounds. Nobles often, like Eleanor here, claimed they were too closely related, while not being able to procreate was also a legitimate reason. IIRC there was a court case in England where a wife sought divorce on the grounds that her husband was impotent, and the court assigned three women to attempt to arouse him. The women verified the wife's claims and divorce was granted. The reason Henry VIII was so pissed was that he didn't get one, even though he thought he had a good case.

Hostile is too strong of a word for medieval society, rather women were expected to be submissive, but they had rights and some could be very powerful. Eleanor of Aquitaine is a prime example of a woman breaking the mold but also showing that it was, in fact, possible without much consequences. The Renaissance and the modern times were in some ways worse than medieval ages. Think what would happen to a woman who gave only two daughters in 15 years to, say, Henry VIII of England. There was a very effective smearing campaign on her in France when the 100 years war began and she was the reason that Aquitaine was in english hands. She is very unpopular in most of France even today, but she wasn't so when she was alive.

The only official communication device at the moment was Latin, which was already falling in disuse. The langue of oil (that eventually would turn into french) was also technically a dialect at the time, and they never say "dialect of french" on the video.

To be honest, I'm not sure your average speaker of a Germanic language (like English) could tell where dialects in the Romance family falls. If you speak Romanian to us, then Catalan, and then "Standard" French, a lot of us might pick up they sound different, but we wouldn't be able to tell if they were 3 separate romance languages or 3 dialects of a Romance language. Some Germans might be able to if only due to enough Italian and French tourists that even if they don't understand either they can tell them apart.

​@@elirodriguez4411 There are several definitions of "language" and "dialect". And, depending on the definition you choose, being a "dialect" doesn't necessarily mean not being a "language" (in that sense what the video says is not necessarily wrong). But most commonly a language is defined by a strong level of inter-comprehension between its speakers. And this is definitely the case for medieval Occitan, which had a large body of literature in a semi-standardised form, exchanged all around its speaking area and around Europe (for instance Catalan authors were often writing in standardised Occitan -aka "Llemosi"- rather than their own dialect). Also it wasn't as strongly dialectised as modern Occitan.

The basic materials wouldn't have been unachievable for common folk, it's just that writing and drawing/painting were highly valued and I believe a common man might well have felt like doing something very inappropriate if he was to make a drawing of something mondänen since due to the aforementioned symbolic nature of medieval art, he would probably have been unable to be as nuanced as the monks and scribes, even though his art's degree of naturalism might not have been too different.

If only they had proper marrige councillors back then, this could have spared France the inconvenience of the Hundred Years War.

The rich today behave no better. Imagine if the fallout from Prince Harry's split with his family over how they treated his wife led to a war between the US and Britain.

No because England would have inherited Anjou and Maine anyway

But look at this fancy pope bed! Isn't it nice?

Could you do a serie on Talleyrand one day ? It would be great!

You are doing great

Can we all just appreciate the quality of the thumbnails? It seems that artists are going back and redoing them for some of the other videos to. Like the Spanish Flu videos.

I'm liking this series so far but I can't wait for it to end. I'm pumped to watch the Easter Rising series! From what I've heard, this topic is controversial to some people and I love controversial topics. I would watch a whole series on the Cathar Crusade or the Muslim Conquest of India.

Same here! I can hardly wait for that series. In 2016 we went on an unforgettable group tour of Ireland for the centennial of the Rising.

@@margaretcarter6483 Any favorite sites while you were there?

“King Louis the fat” that’s my favorite😂

YES ELEANOR EPISODE

Yay! Eleanor of Aquitaine! I knew about all of these things in the video, but I didn't know about Louis's brother's hilarious death by tripping over a pig!

Literally first heard of her due to the Game Civ 6 Eleanor of Aquitaine is amazing in that game and an amazing figure in general.

my name is April, and I will say, I did not to expect to be so sternly directly adressed right at the start of the video

This is the funniest history story I've ever heard. I lost it the moment you said "Her Uncle" lol.

New thumbnail style goes hard

"Wearing gowns and collecting crowns" Haha 😂 I love that line

omg omg new ep

Accidentally massacring 1200 people, that's a bit of a "bruh" moment even by medieval standards.

I love your vids

Could you do a video on William and Philippa of Aquitaine? This video was explained very well but I’m studying William and Philippa and am having a hard time understanding the politics and such
