Regarding the woman who had y pestis, I find it interesting that she and others were buried where there is a yew tree. Very ancient legends connect the yew with burial sites,some apparently going back thousands of years. Yews regenerate: where a branch touches the ground a new yew may spring up. Thus if the particular yew at this gravesite is not ancient itself, it might have sptung from successive regenerations of an ancient yew. In church graveyards often the yew and the original church graveyard would be south and/or west of the church itself. An ancient castle site (even motte and bailey) might have had a chapel or church itself that had its own yew-graced gravesite. Whoever buried this woman, who may have still understood that the yew was once sacred and associated with death and rebirth.either buried her near an extant yew, or planted one there. Perhaps it was still locally known that the yew was the site of a Christian sacred burial ground associated with the old castle. If the new churchyard was full, the old one might be the best spot.
And yes, it is entirely possible that whomever enterred this woman in the 14th c.could have known this. After all I and many many people still do know that in 2022.
( In the 1600’s one bishop wished to make yews illegal at gravesites: apparently he failed. This is likely the period when the legend that Pontius Pilate had a yew upon his grave, and that witchcraft was associated with yews (which are poisonous to consume, but so are many many plants and even many pretty flowers.)
We just learned that we have a yew bush in our backyard. Thank you for sharing this information.
Yews in every English graveyard ... also made longbows from them
Fascinating comment. Thanks
Wow, how interesting! Thank you for taking the time to write this and help expand my knowledge.
Now I know
And knowledge is power
The list of things NOT trying to kill you in the MA is much shorter.
Today in modern times... war, poverty and pestilence are still major killers of humans. Incredible as much has changed, some things never do change.
True, but the countless religious wars, religious genocide and killing in the name of "muh holy lord". Isn't nearly a thing as it use to be.
Like white people killing every one
Isn't there a scripture in which Jesus says something along the lines of "there will always be poor among you"? Meaning that human greed, which leads to some people being left with very little or even nothing, will always exist until judgement day because of how flawed humanity is.
I dunno, I thought that would be interesting to note, because whether or not there is a god or a next life, that statement remains true.
@@waxwinged_hound a lot of the people who wrote the religious texts of those civilizations were their times philosophers and wise men, there are a lot of good lessons to be learned from religious texts, even if we cant ascertain for certain if a god or several gods exist
To be fair though, war and pestilence are nowhere near the killers they were before. The leading cause of death these days is heart disease, generally of old age. And war is basically non existant, compared to the older ages (where it was basically consistently going on). Things really have changed a lot for the better, though its easy to say otherwise if you dont look into it. Even the latest pandemic was nothing compared to the lower killers of the medieval times.
I loved the man who found the skeleton. I appreciate his passion for archeology and his heart.
Trying to imagine these battles, makes me sick. Insane times!
TY for the video 👍
There was a principle in almost all of recorded history where if a city stood up to an attacking army, once the army breeches the walls and defeats said city; The attacking army is given three days in which they raped who they wanted, enslaved who they wanted, stole anything that they wanted, and destroyed anything they wanted. Then on the morning of day three they would pack their slaves and property up, and march back home a rich man. That is why young men wanted to join armies in the first place, to take place in this three day orgy of violence and wealth! Wild times, indeed, which basically took place over our entire human existence as masters of agriculture. East Asian cultures who didn't adhere to such rules would often kill all men of age, take the women and children as slaves, and burn the entire city to the ground after it was looted - there was no three day limit to their conquering orgy.
@@JoeyVol I did not know that they had even determined how long such an act would last. I can honestly say that I feel sick when I try to put myself in that time, in the people who suffered. Today, this still happens on a smaller scale. Filth of human society! Thank you for your response, peace ✌
@@jabadabadu7089 Yeah it’s wild to think about .. people setting de quorum for conquering cities, because they knew they could be conquered next and didn’t want their entire city wiped off the map either, so three days of them looting the “wealthy neighborhoods” seemed like a good trade-off from everyone’s viewpoint.
@@JoeyVol Every story has two sides. I believe in not being harmful to society. Although I could list some examples of hatred, but this does not give me satisfaction. I forgive, I don't forget, I learn and I move on...
Being violent is the easiest way in the beginning. Over the years, you realize that this is not the solution. However, when you start thinking about it in the old age and when conscience begins to come to the fore, then you seek comfort in people. When you feel strong, ask yourself if you really need it. That's when the right combination of strength and humanity is born in a person. A bit out of context, but on the subject of human mentality.
U have obviously never experienced conflict or war-if you had you'd know that NOW is the insane times
I'm tempted to say food poisoning, because a LOT of historical resources describe how hard it was to cook things consistently. Or famine. Famine would have to be up there.
"Pease porridge hot,
Pease porridge cold,
Pease porridge in the pot
Nine days old.
Some like it hot,
And some like it cold,
And some like it in the pot
Nine days old."
I think that the people in those days had the skills to avoid food poisoning from poor food preservation.
And just think 100,000 years ago we ate meat raw, roots straight from the ground unwashed, and broke bones and ate the marrow look what cooking food has done for our emune system and our digestive system
@@mikeyoung490 and 100,000 years ago we did all of those things and probably had an average lifespan of 20 years. There's a reason our population is as high as it is today.
@@mikeyoung490 if you can't even spell immune system correctly you're not allowed to voice opinions about it, sorry, that's the rules
@@mikeyoung490 Such expertise from the person who misspells "immune system" 😆
At 1:24:00ish that is a syphillatic skull. I don’t know why they’d be showing it the context it’s in.. just an observation. The reason I know this is because I watched a doc on that a few days ago. That exact same rotating image was also used in it.
Ignorance was the biggest killer. Still is to this day.
Sometimes it's someone else's ignorance.
Spmw young moron just killed a woman and her child while going 100 in town. That's pure stupidity.
Is it just me, but has the number of commercials just insane now? I know I could pay for it, but all these channels are worse than cable, which still shoves commercials at you. Just greed and I'm not sure if it's CZcams or if it's the creators, but it is just out of control.
Exactly why I insist on paying for YT Premium -EVERY single month! I don’t watch any tv at all anymore, my interests are varied and YT is wonderful for everything about how to fix my sink to to the Claudian empire. The best 20$ I budget for!
TLDR for the BIGGEST killer: The black plague, which killed 50-60% of Europe's entire population.
However the title was clearly just slapped on for youtube and not really what the video is about; the show actually tells the story of 3 specific people and what killed them. It looks at 3 medieval burial sites and shows you how an archeologist knows things like a person's status, age, health and living conditions just by looking at their bones. They give you a snapshot of 3 real people that lived and died in medieval times and what their life and death might have been like. Specific stories about individual people will always be way more interesting to me than blanket statements. You should totally watch the video, just not for the title.
Should be top comment
So much for the value of spoken history
What I find fun is a few decades ago archeologist expected to find hundreds of sets of armor and swords at battlefields, as if any of that valuable gear would be left behind.
1:58:16 "she was atleast 46...or could have been 93. Or 47..." this tickled me so bad.
I love the idea of the Yew tree. Someone loved this woman,(if the Yew supposition is correct.) They Amos History Channel
2:12 I/5/23
Neat! I watched a three part series on this exact theory. I enjoyed this, thank you.
To answer the question posed in the title:
The Middle Ages were long and a long time ago. Human lives, in comparison, are short. That's why everyone who lived during the Middle Ages died long before anyone alive today was born. That's a 100% death rate, which is quite high.
What a wonderful explanation of Juana's life. I absolutely LOVE you and your channel. Subscribed from Los Angeles Ca USA ❤️
Losing side dying maybe a reality for the peasants but usually nobles and royalty was ransomed and usually treated quit well for being prisoners of war.
Didn't happen at agincourt... most of the time you would be safe, but some people are vengeful...

Great series
It would be interesting to know how long it took for natural forces to bury the entire battlefield, and the corpse's, with soil to a depth suitable for the land to be used for farming. In addition..... it would also be interesting to know how long it took for the people of the town (of which the battle was named) to start using the field for agriculture. I am sure that it produced high quality corps in VAST quantities because of the high "ORGANIC MATTER" in the soil.
That would be interesting to know!
I agree that would be really cool to know. I learned while researching fertilizers and mixing different kinds of soil that some of the most nutrient natural soils was found to be a massive burial ground from one of the deadlier plagues. 😬😳
@@kassiefouts9882 I can imagine! Tell me something if you happen to know. I grew up on a farm and have wondered for years how it is that fields that are fertilized with manure of whatever kind, how does it not end up in the crops even on a molecular level? Probably sounds like a laymen’s question to you, but is something I’ve always wondered about.
@@kellyshomemadekitchen "Ash's to ash's... dust to dust" as the saying goes I guess. When you are returned to the ground and decompose, I expect the plants don't know the difference (or care) if you are a chemical fertilizer or a human being. It is my understanding that plants need the chemical nurturance from the soil (absorbed through their roots), in combination with photosynthesis from the sun, to feed itself. So essentially, every time you eat a veggie.... you are eating a little bit of everything that ever lived!
@@rpkelly3825 I shudder as I realize you are most probably right.
My problem with these kind of documentaries is the music..
We seriously don't need that
*Someone* must have been left in Masterby, or who buried the bodies and put up the cross?
21:23 I bet whoever lost his spanner out in the field was annoyed to find it was gone!
And do they scan again after they took the nails out to make sure that there isn't anything else hidden under the nail?
The Lady of Tadcaster might have been the midwife, i.e., a more important member of the community. That would explain why she was buried in a single grave.
1:36:55 The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War, Famine, and Pestilence are three, and the fourth is a figure with a bow and crown, interpreted variously by different scholars. Perhaps it shows the oligarchy or the wealthy elite that has taken over the world. They're certainly killing enough people with sanctions and austerity.
They already answered your first question.
Is not the 4th Horseman Death? I assumed that is why he wears a crown. Because he rules over all. Obviously during an apocalyptic event everyone would die, so Death would be all present, and in any event nobody escapes him, so he would be supreme over all. He's the main event, so to speak lol
Yes the final one is indeed death. I don’t know why the original commenter said that’s debated… Death is followed by the gaping hell mouth that consumes all in its wake.
I often think about what questions and conclusions humans would ponder if my remains were found hundreds of years from now…I should put a QR code somewhere on my skeleton haha.
Idk how I got here cause I was asleep but good job cause this shit appeared in my dream and it wasn't fun lmao
It's interesting how many women get into the field of osteoarchaeology.

Grew up in a neighboring village, just 15 min bike ride from Mästerby. Only as and adult did i start to even comprehend that this was of any interest to others on an international level, thought it was just normal, local folk history.
Besides the Plague probably syphilis
The demeaning narrative tone, and 'tisk, tisk' that surfaces at times, in the discussion of the ancient attitudes towards disease in this piece, comes close to overshadowing the clinical presentation of the diseases. Instead of sneers, we should be exhibiting pity for the people caught up in the mores' of their era and their very limited knowledge. Presentism, applying today's moral and ethical judgements, to people of other eras needs to be curbed.

Great show for falling asleep, thanks 😊
Casualty rates, this includes surviving wounded, for medieval warfare was 10-15%. There are certainly cases of routs and annihilation of whole units, but 8-9 of 10 soldiers survived most battles without serious injuries. Don't forget, this is WAY before antibiotics and modern surgical treatments, most would be saved with modern medicine!
Edit: Don't think they fought like 19th and early 20th century armies lining up and pouring .90 cal lead slugs into each other. It was no easier to charge into spears then than it would be for us today!
Depends yes in fighting they survived but come back no. While the fight was going on not many died but when one of the army routed that slaughter just like they said not a lot of bodies on battlefield but than in one direction lots of evidence of the battle until there was no one else to kill because they got away or were killed... I mean there are battles where bodies pilled up during battle like Agincourt and even before that Romans and Alexander were good at using horses to cut the lines while still in battle but yeah shield wall vs shield wall not that many dead but if you managed to flank with horses o boy like tank driving into a line of solders...
@@blazesomun6551 Yes, there have been all sorts of crazy battles and campaigns. Still, when we include ALL the ones you mentioned and average it out 5-15% of a pre gunpowder army would be killed or wounded in a battle. That's just what the analysis tells us overall, I'm not sure at all why you object.
@@warpdriveby I don't object I just said that if you count routing as a battle (I do) than number is way way way higher than 5-15% its more like 30-35%
The Romans had their version of a field army medical corp. Trajan's column shows them in action. I can't help wonder about the survival rates of Roman wounded vs "barbarians" or medieval wounded. The introduction of firearms and lead bullets/shot should have increased the death rate. The soft lead deforms and drags bits of clothing & assorted crap deep into the body. Digging out the ball likely introduced even more biohazards to the body.
@@LuvBorderCollies Love the handle! I have a GSD but I love the same traits in the border collie! I don't know, but you raise some fantastic points. The shock to tissues from the cavatation is far more serious than a wound from a sharp object the same diameter, we do know that. Armor was able to keep up with muskets for a time, but only over the torso and sometimes groin upper thigh. In Interregnum England, the 1650s, the practice of prooving(sic, it may be a typo or error in the original text) breastplates and plackards was a big deal. In fact it's why we say things are bullet-proof today. Blade wounds are much easier to close than bullet wounds too generally speaking. Puncture type wounds are much harder to treat and were often slowly fatal to the torso or when they compromised the skull (obviously). It was almost impossible to staunch the inner bleeding, and without antiseptics and antibiotics you can't pack the wound with gauze as we do today. I think part of the rise deaths was the absence of hygiene in the camps and individuals as campaigns became longer and moved farther. The wounded couldn't go home to heal, and the camp was rife with dysentery, pox, ext. None of this is to argue against the huge danger of contaminants in bullet wounds, I'm just trying to think out what infi to start chasing down because you set this hook really well and I'm fascinated to see what's available. I think there's also the size and power transfer of the musket balls, which are HUGE by modern standards. Being unjacketed soft cast balls they flatten and immediately dump their energy into the first thing they hit. At 25-50 yards they do the kind of damage we associate with a .50 big round.

"decimated" misused, as the English do- at 1:10- "decimated" SOUNDS like "all" or "most" but actually it means "One tenth died"
It doesn't mean one tenth died. It means the population was reduced to a tenth of what it was. Decimation is near total annihilation.
@@contentsdiffer5958 you just said the same thing. 🤡
Oh for goodness sake! We all know that was the formal definition of the word but language changes over time and it’s used as a more general term describing a severe degree of destruction. Been living in a cave with no literature for the last forty years or what?
@@mandywalkden-brown7250 Yeah-that give people permission to distort meanings. How much of the things gone wrong have to do with that distortion?
No, not everyone understands that that is not what the word really means- is just shows the weak minds that confuse "Devastation" with the word "Decimation". However- I never heard a more absurd defense of of the ridiculous before

Please someone on the production staff proofread the incorrect word for Masterby. It is a rather inexcusable insult to those of us who need closed captioning. I’m sure the production stsff of this excellent documentary had no direct responsibility for the captioning. But a quick view with captioning would have caught the mistakes.
Masterby. Mad evil. As soon as this documentary started I cannot get over the mispronunciations. 😂
Unfortunately the cc's are made by AI not real people. I wish they would do a check by people because as someone that uses CC for when my phone's sync with my tv goes out it is ..... Horrid I agree.
The crosses themselves should be examined for stress to their internal structure which might illuminate the engravings further.The way they do with guns with the serial numbers filed off.
Was this shown on the IDGAS network? Halfway through this documentary and I have no idea where it's going. I'm out.
Narrator keeps calling it mad evil instead of medieval and I’m hung up on it. 😂
How would you pronounce it?
If you listen on the 0'25 speed, he clearly says "'medi " although he's a bit lazy with the "ëval", sounding it more like "evul".
Not only the narrator, but also the science lady, and other random archeologists. Get used to it, dude, the whole world doesn't speak Murrikkan.
I think it is interchangeable..... personally, I can't understand how the human race has survived as long as it has.
@@rpkelly3825 my dad used to say humanity survives through luck & f@$k. Excuse the crass verbiage, please. Basically in all of the people of the planet at any given time, someone is always lucky in terms of life expectancy - they don't get sick, or they don't serve in a war, or they somehow come into money - it can come down to such things that whether you live to an older age hinges upon. And well...people really like to do the other one. Lol.
It's amazing to me how there's any evidence left from so long ago. Hundreds of years ago a battle happened and we can, in the present day, find those who died.
Bones and teeth don't decay like soft tissue and organs. You can find bones that are a few thousand years old

We have pacreatic cancer,prostate cancer, breast cancer,ovarian cancer, only painnkillers ,have seen a tumour ?
We have had cancer and tumors since the beginning of the world. Egyptian hieroglyphs show proof of their medical practitioners attending individuals with large growths, and they wrote extensively about cutting out smaller cancerous growths. Any painkillers that humanity discovered along the way were freely available to anyone who could pay for them for thousands of years; until now, when in the United States especially the government and medical community have banded together to keep people from accessing painkillers that they feel they should not have. They don't care about overdoses. They simply want taxpayers and if you won't be that, they'll make money off of you in the privatized prison system.
What was the biggest killer in the Middle Ages? I watched this video to find out and was disappointed to find you had used click bait. I did appreciate the fact that your expert said she cannot usually tell from the skeleton what killed the person. She at least addressed the subject found in the title, while most of the video did not.
They have this same video under numerous titles. I was irritated, too. I love this series and I genuinely wanted to see one about the biggest cause of death, which was obviously disease.
The segment titles actually answer that. "War", "Poverty", and "Pestilence & Disease"
Where is Masterbury ? Which county is it in ? Doesn't seem to be mentioned 😕
You might want to rewatch it. Was mentioned several times, Gotland, Sweden.
Masterby, not Masterbury.
You can also look up Visby as a reference for Masterby.
I kind of agree on food poisoning because when the butchered the animals they hung the meat and all kinds of bacteria and bugs and stuff got into the meat.
😂 uh huh ok.
They still butcher that way the only difference is the knowledge of bacteria and knowing to store it in cold. My father was a pig butcher they hang them upside down and drain the blood. Now not sure of cows and others but they also do the same hunting deer.

Religion was the biggest killer.
Childbirth
.. and still.
I always say I would have made certain I was in a convent in a very out of the way geographical location at a young age, so as to remove the possibility of being forced to marry to survive, the certainty of being impregnated, have to give birth, put myself at risk of syphilis and various other STD's, and protect myself further against the possibility of rape by living somewhere undesirable to conquer or pillage. Preferably a convent in which we can grow decent food and we can make our own clothing, but there isn'ta ton of money involved, as I fear that would draw authorative male religious figures, and you can't trust any of them. En absentia male bishops and so forth having no interest in visiting. A nunnery or convent on an island might be good. That seems to me the only way to avoid most of the things i would fear the most.
Why the loud aggravating background music? Stopped listening.
Barred their gates to the peasants. Lovely.
Probably the woman just died in childbirth - like most women. He seems disappointed that 1. It was a woman's skeleton and 2. Was not a result of war wounds.
I just wondering what the rules would been in 2020 if this covid-19 buyers really came and did not become extinct as much as it is now we are very lucky to live in the time we live in right now and not in the Dark ages.

We are living in the true and real dark ages.
@@victoriadiesattheend.8478 It would actually be known more as a Golden Age. We are witnessing right now the exponential strength of some technology and it’s one of the most peaceful times to be alive. The advancements we’ve made in the last 30-40 years has been unreal compared to other times.
Covid would of significantly destroy some populations during that time - the advantage I would imagine they have is that, the population isn’t nearly as dense and they were outside more often which could have helped.
The biggest killer: starvation.
