Mediocre Medievalist

Mediocre Medievalist

My name is Guy Wake, i make Mediocre videos where I explore Medieval Life & on comic books industry. It's creators, stories and more!
But my videos may lack certain information on the topic, or i'm completely wrong about it.
i'm also not an actual historian, i'm an enthusiast of medieval history.
Hence the name.

    The Magna Carta of 1215 never became law nor the basis of later documents. The Magna Carta of 1216 was the basis for later documents. Both documents are similar but massively different in contents, the rule of 25 barons and the so-called right to rebellion were written out as was the oath of allegiance to Magna Carta (rather than to the King and his hairs and successors). All the odious parts were taken out, turning the document from one of rebel barons to that of loyal barons thanks to that of William the marshal.

    Professional men educated as physicians charged money for their services, so I think only wealthy folk could afford them. The people who had the practical knowledge, and whose efforts often worked, were traditionally women. These ladies, who also worked as midwives, did not perform surgery. Instead, they used vegetables, flowers, and herbs to alleviate pain and hasten healing for illness and minor injuries. They didn't consult astrological tables, because they couldn't read, and that meant that they were more successful than the university guys. And I love your channel. You present the facts clearly and in an entertaining way.

  • @Mediocrespeciality

    I see where you going with it. But biologically? it's not. If we talking about your mother or father having siblings, and they have children, then yes it is considered as incest. You share blood with them, not a 50%ish, but more than 10 or 12%. And going by consanguinity table as well, it's considered as incest too.

Regarding the goose tree, I heard once that they thought that geese turned into trees during winter, and so were considered non-meats and able to be eaten during Lent.

    In graduate school, I took a course devoted entirely to "The Canterbury Tales" in the original Middle English. I enjoyed it, but . . . . this was before the internet, so I never heard it spoken properly. Watching this video, it's embarrassing to think of the beginning of the Prologue as I memorized it, in the accent my instructor used. Thank you for this and for all your shows.

    I'm so glad that you didn't bring up Swat Kats or Samurai Pizza Cats in here like everyone else does. Those aren't knockoffs or even parodies of Ninja Turtles. Swat Kats in particular was more like Top Gun mixed with Batman The Animated Series with athropomorphic cats, and Samurai Pizza Cats was actually a spoof of SD Gundamn Model Kits with robotic animal-based androids with a humor style more geared towards The Adventures Of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Neither have anything to do with even being a parody of Ninja Turtles and I always hate hearing those brought up in topics like this. So thank you for not really bringing those up.
