- Were the Middle Ages really as brutal and sadistic as we imagine today? There are many records from the time that actually do prove the stereotype to be true. Let’s face it we all know what the character Marsellus Wallace meant in the film Pulp Fiction when he threatened, “I’m gonna get Medieval on your a*s!”

What blows my mind is that all our direct ancestors really lived through it and managed to leave offspring alive so each of us can be born.
Cause they entirely were supporters of the ruling regime. You wouldnt even exist now if one of your ancestors was against some discriminating event or rule back then.
They left a lot of not-alive offspring too
And we all suck compared to them individually based on force of will

They were super violent because of all the video games they used to play
It's because of that damn phone
Too bad they all had "Baddad batteries" to power their primitive gaming devices.
They listened to too much of that evil protestant music... Erm, I mean Rock music.
LOL
Those darned videer games
I used to think that the medieval age was a lot more violent and that people were so different back then. But once I started reading and watching true crime, I realized that people are just as evil today as they were back then.
people just don't die as easily today
this video gives the statistic that the murder rate was about 10 times higher!
Was pretty striking to hear that. We all know about wars and battles, and punishments, but we are talking murder here.
@@winterroadspokenword4681 makes sense. Way many assaults resulted in death back then
Perhaps people are the same, but the structure of society and environment is different.
@@sir313jonssonAnd all that was needed for an attack to lead to death would be for a wound to get seriously infected
1:49 110 Murders out of 100,000? That beats out Detroit's score of 49.7 Murders for every 100,000. Can't have shit in Medieval Oxford.
Lack of medicine and hygiene is a b*tch
Or Texas, winners of the highest murder rate in the US...
Imagine living in such a terrible city that it is halfway to being medieval.
And I think he's using Oxford as a "not worst case." I'm sure there were plenty of cities across the continent that were much worse.
London alone would of been even more murderous and even more violent.
God bless the souls who lived, survived and died throughout the middle ages. It is literally impossible to imagine what those men, women and children went through.
@Pride Fr
Don't be so dramatic, by that logic literally all of history would be a story of constant suffering
@Pride Not exactly, when you go to the times of prehistory then things turn much peaceful again. it was after humans began to form cities and made up the concept of land ownership and property, that was the main catalyst for starting wars and other violent things
@@DavidHernandez-dk1zs this isn't true, that's a narrative people have constructed. Marxism can be a useful tool to analyze capitalism, but this is obviously an ideologically biased way to describe pre-historic human society. The development of ideas around property, large settlements, and the state certainly led to larger scale conflicts, but people fought before then.
@Pride until u go to some 3rd world countries
Judge: You are sentenced to be hung by the neck until death.
Criminal: Well, isn't that bad...
Judge: And then hanged again in the other town.
Criminal: Aww come onnnnnnn
Attorney: Hey, I got you off the hook with the 3rd town, show some gratitude.
I know it was extremely rare but with just one hanging there was always a chance the rope would snap or due to the executioner setting it up wrong due to intoxication that you might survive and have to be freed . I know the odds of that happening are insanely low but lots of stories of it happening here in the UK and people being released
@@laurarules3642 Yes it happened but he was clearly dead to begin with, you don't sentence someone "to be hanged by the neck until death" just to say "you're off Scot free because the cheap rope broke.
Hanging a dead man a second time, sorry, seems kinda extreme 🤣
And IF he survived the first time, I'd honestly have let em go, that's like divine intervention sh*t I don't personally want part of lol 😂

I would have been a fisherman. On a boat away from this madness. Great videos mate.
Quickly Write me up I have something for you ❤️❤️
Oh, but the madness finds you, perhaps in the form of Ottoman or Viking slavers looking for hapless fishermen and anyone else they can capture.
Being a fisherman at sea is anything but relaxing, especially back then when many things weren't understood yet
Scurvy, anyone?
a hard life at sea, and you still have to come to town to sell your fish, and make your way back to your ship with your pay, after everyone saw you come into town with a bunch of fish.
oh god i would've never survived
I would have died at age 11 from appendicitis, that’s only if I survived the broken arm I had at 9 😅
One day people will say that about our time lol
Luckily Ivv only dislocated my right shoulder and been lucky wene it comes to being sick with sickness that would have killed people back then . If the Spanish inquisition we're around that is wene I would die.
Same, I would've died young due to illness lol, and that's assuming my mum somehow survived giving birth to my older sibling
I would have died of food poisoning multiple times over, probably get an amputation too... Antibiotics are really a great invention!
It's just as likely the reason why the women who were raped names aren't in the legal record is because the courts/administrations of the time wanted to protect their modesty/privacy i.e. not blow the whistle to everyone that they were a rape victim.
I'm sure they would have been aware of the culture at the time were women who weren't married and/or were non-virgins were often ostracized by broader society and by covering up these details the courts effectively protected the women from further victimization.
Yes and likely many of these apparent murders were carried out by the families of rape or otherwise victims precisely because there were no actual police services or prisons filled to overflowing with all kinds of nasty people as we have today.
I personally Don’t think they gave a shit about the women.

I work moderating social media content and I can tell you for sure medieval people were not more violent. You are just more shielded from violence nowadays, but them beheadings and tortures and rapes and nonsensical murders and child selling and all the horrible things you can imagine are happening right now, and are way worse because there is a consciousness about being observed, recording evil deeds and using them for a purpose. Its hell out there
I am pretty sure it’s the lack of or too much video games that are to blame for now and and then for all that violence

Any stories you can tell? I'm so curious
@cl5470 I disagree, i think your perspective might be very limited to your own geographical reality.
Humans have always been the same. We will never change. Only our tools change.
The data proves otherwise
Not the same- we are 100X less violent than during the Middle Ages!
@@jimbodimbo981 actually data provides that very little has changed if any.
@@jimbodimbo981 gonna have to agree with you.
@Matthew Clark I have a masters degree in History and one thing that I learned very quickly studying history is that there is nothing new under the sun. The details may very some but people are exactly the same as they have ever been. The myth that we have advanced so much is just that a myth.
Dude I hope you'll make an episode about how often people traveled back then between towns. Did they walk? Are there carriages for hire? How close were towns back then? Examples of towns close together and truly isolated ones would be great. Were houses close to the city center? Were they spread thin? Who's the record holder in terms of travel back in medieval times? Love your videos man.
Most people walked
Read A Time Travellers Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer, it's full of that kind of information. From what I remember, he says that people used to travel quite a bit - people from villages would need to travel into the nearest market town, they might need to travel to the county seat for various reasons (such as appearing before magistrates), and people went on pilgrimages. The whole thing about people rarely leaving their village is a bit of a myth.
Iirc ordinary people mainly walked, but there were also coaches for wealthier people.
Walk mostly but i think boat was rather common too (at least for goods). Though i would imagine most villages were in within a day's journey from other villages. Though not exactly sure if that was the case for all
Good idea
I really enjoyed reading that book.@@monkeymox2544
When I was a kid, I was really terrified for some time when we learnt about count Jaromír and his two brothers at school. This amount of brutality between brothers was really unbelievable for 10 years old me. Oldest brother Boleslav let Jaromír be castrated around year 1000. Then his younger Oldřich expeled him to poland and he was in prison for 21 years. After his returning he was blinded and imprisoned again by his brother, then he was after all of that murdered by spear while on toilet in his a*us. This was power struggle between brothers in duchy o Bohemia.
Just some friendly sibling rivalry

Ask yourself seriously, what is worse? Being violently whipped or beaten or losing a finger for attempting to rob your neighbor? Or being locked in a cell for five, ten, maybe twenty years? Maybe for life. Effectively having your life itself shortened. Because prison as a form of punishment in itself wasn't a thing back then. It was just a place you might be held a while before you were branded a criminal.
@@susanmenegus5543 Yeah, I think people on the outside just assume we're far more charitable and humanitarian today concerning criminal justice, but only because they've yet to experience for themselves just how dehumanizing and evil imprisonment really is. It doesn't aim to just punish the body. It aims to control it. Worse yet, it looks to putting a cop inside all our heads, so we can control ourselves just to stay out of there. Unbelievably cruel, and something our ancestors would no doubt view as an unconscionable tyranny.
A lot of people back then were imprisoned and then left to starve to death tho
@Sp0on777 No, imprisonment was not used as a form of punishment in itself until the Enlightenment, and only became the conventional means of punishment more recently still. People have suffered horrible injustices throughout history, no doubt. But being left in a cage to starve to death was never anywhere practiced en masse as an accepted means of meting out justice. Sometimes it happened, of course. Still does.
@@StephenDeagle imprisonment may not have been labeled a punishment, however the fact is that many did get left in a cage to starve to death. Not to mention the practice of "immurement" aka being "walled in" wherein the entire point is to imprison the person and then leave them to die slowly.
"In the Middle Ages, people weren’t held in prison for punishments of their crimes. Instead, the prisons held the people who were accused of committing crimes until their innocence was proven. But, those who owed large amounts of money were kept in prison until their debts were paid. Also, if a criminal is convicted of a crime and sentenced the death sentence, they would make a public appearance in a public square and have the execution done there. Prisoners had to purchase their own food, drinks, clothing, beds, and other resources. People who often couldn’t afford it usually died of starvation and cold before their case went to trial; however, wealthy prisoners had a likely chance of surviving the harsh environment."
@Sp0on777 Immurement? Maybe in Persia for a fairly prolonged period it was historically practiced, but far from common in any part of Europe other than sporadic cases in Rome. I don't know where you're googling your information from, but it is highly sensationalized, misleading, and overall too broad and overgeneralizing. People historically did not typically live in conditions where if you were poor you could just be thrown in a prison and starved to death or made to pay for your own imprisonment for years on end, as you are suggesting.
I kind of wish I hadn’t listened to that. That poor woman who was made to eat her husband! Jeez people are evil.

Ahh! So fun to see a comment from someone w an understanding of Social Identity Theory!
SIT provides such a valid framework for understanding societal behavior. All being traced back to when who we knew ourselves to be as strictly that of our African troop.
In the resource-rich but cruel, competitive morass of merciless jungle we existed in close-knit groups of around 100-150 people, competing amongst rival tribes for safety and survival.
If my group outcompeted yours, we got to survive. There had to be a winner and a loser. Given the choice bw members of both our groups receiving 50 dollars equally, vs my group receiving 40, yours receiving 30, and throwing away the remaining 30, we will still opt for the latter deal. Bc this is how we evolved to compete - tribally. There must be winners and losers. My group must outlive your group.

Yea nothing changed
If you kno where to look
Imagine mortally wounding someone, them dying of that injury, and then getting away with it because “they should’ve been able to tend to it themselves”. Were people just idiots back then? It would’ve taken 2 seconds to think maybe they wouldn’t have died if the injury never happened in the first place.
The mans arm wouldnt have gotten infected if he didnt have hilariously bad personal hygene. Plus, he attached first with the dead cat. I can understand the pardon
Men will treat women like objects unless women fight for their rights. This type of defense would probably still fly in modern sexist societies.
People weren’t exactly idiots but remember people died at young ages. Meaning that the country was basically being run by young 20 something-year-olds. Their brains are probably messed up too because they’re drinking all the time. Remember alcohol damages the brain. Not to mention how much poisons people were exposed to like Lead or arsenic.
"were people just idiots back then" no. there's probably more than just sexist reasons (though sexism is still one of it). there are a fucking 14 year old mass shooter in thailand that killed someone's mother and then got away because the shooter pretended to be crazy about the "voices" and because he's underaged. yeah. are people today just a bunch of total idiots?
@@cl5470 Men will treat women like objects unless men decide that it's reprehensible. Like I'm sorry, I hate wife beaters and any non sports related violence, but the fact is that women got their rights given to them by men. If men for some reason decided women suffrage and any other privilege should be stripped, who'd stop them? Women? How? They're physically weaker, so it would be other men. Back then, not every man was a wife beater, but society was very much patriarchal as it was aristocratic. You couldn't condemn a man for beating his wife because you'd destroy the status quo and risk your authority position - and often get a worse alternative cause an extreme would win, so those things must come to a change gradually. Same as with a nobleman striking a peasant dead ,and vice versa, were seen very differently in jurisdiction (the noble would often get a fine, the peasant would be burned alive or something). And imagine having the gall to go against nobles, as a king for example, for the sake of equality, you'd have a rebellion. Its easy to see and judge with modern eyes what our ancestors did because we're brought up in a more equalish world than they were.

Great vid!
Considering the fact that a commoner was believed to lie unless tortured, I think it would be a lot scarier back then. You tell the truth up front and then get tortured because your a lying peasant until you change your story. This was so common that most instances where not even documented.
Any sources for that? I want to read and learn a bit more about that.
Quickly Write me up I have something for you 📌
@@gamermasterL This seems to me to be a myth. What would usually happen was that the accused was held in prison until trial, at which point they were presented with evidence of their crime, testimony of at least three people being considered evidence, and could present their own evidence. The strength of the evidence would be judged by the character of the people giving testimony. This of course varied from place to place and time.
I read about two things that could have contributed to this:
1. Slaves in Rome were considered untrustworthy, because the popular belief was they would always say what they were told to say by their master, so torture was a way of making certain they told the truth.
2. People in some areas of Europe believed that you could only put on trial a person whose crime was evident, so they used torture to get the initial confession. This seems to have started, or become much more common with the reformation as well due to the whole religious divide, which produced a lot of extreme behavior.
Isn't that Ancient Rome rather than the Medieval period? They wouldn't believe a slave's testimony unless it was extracted under torture. Unless some medieval society carried on that belief?
I know no source for this to have existed in the middle ages. On the contrary, torturing subjects to get a confession was illegal.
LOL😅 The cat swinger story reminds me of Monty Python.Seriously!

I think that the "rule of thumb" originated in the 1600s. 🤔
Pretty sure that the stick being no thicker than a thumb is a myth.
If I remember correctly, the myth was so pervasive that it was actually cited as precedent in an American Court once. 😅
You're correct, from what I understand. It originated in the 1600s and was related to tradesmen using the width or length of their thumb as a way of having a consistent ratio for building things. E.g. "4 thumb lengths tall, 2 thumb lengths high, 2 thumb lengths wide." The fact that this video makes no mention of that and repeats an incorrect folk etymology and also provides no sources for its claims calls into question everything else in it.
Both of you guys are wrong. You both fell into the mandela effect
the "rule of thumb" has absolutely nothing to do with violence. That is a false origin (commonly held). The phrase dates back to the 17th century where it was used in trade where many things were quantified by the length or width of ones thumb.

Started watching your videos a while back and I gotta say, man this content is definitely what I would want more of on youtube. If I were to give some criticism it would be the lack of links and crediting your sources, alongside that I noticed a lot of the artwork comes from the renaissance era and 15th- 18th centuries making it awkward for me since I've dug into the artwork produced after the printing press and it makes you seem disingenious to your audience. My gripes aside these videos are great for those into history from medieval Europe.
You're very trusting, even though you're quite aware of reasons you shouldn't be.
The whole system we had for producing relatively accurate knowledge-universities and journalists with integrity operating in an atmosphere of freedom of inquiry, book publishers with highly literate and educated editors-is rapidly dissolving and being replaced by content like what you just watched. It's a collapse, and is leading to a cascade of collapses in other areas of life, because relatively accurate knowledge underpins everything.

The only reason people today seem less violent is because it's harder to get away with it
Hard times lead to hard people. Although we definitely have our fair share of problems today, we should all be thankful that we live now, not then.
The murder rate in Mexico is on par with these numbers today.
Depending on where you lived it was pretty f**** violent in the 1930's (depending on where you lived of course), that's why i think it's really important to create hard people before its too late.
Even tho they were less sofisticated. Their hand writing was alot better.
Intro-pic.
"Don't move! There's a wasp on your head."
So the answer is YES, they were much more violent than today.
When analyzing the medieval era and before, you have to wonder, .. life expectancy was soo short to begin with, that one would think somewhere , among the generations of people, there'd be some wish to preserve and value human life to any degree, but no, it was all just.. "let's stick an iron pike up this ones arse or !"... lets decapicate some peasants for stealing some corn!", or " lets draw and quater some guy who was accused of blasphemy!.. it's just sick!

They HAD to be very strict when they were able to catch a criminal because it was so damn hard to catch and convict a person, if they weren't so strict crime would have been even more rampant.

Yes. According to some statistics about the homicide rate of the time that I've read in books, they would be among the most violent countries in the world today.
Strange that before 1485 the women involved in crimes aren't mentioned by name. All of the crimes in England I've looked at during the Tudor period have the woman's full name, or even the small child's full name. Maybe England was different and most of the crimes here were on the continent, or that the officials decided to be more thorough and exact in the legal system. There's clearly something different going on.

I often wonder what their every conversations were like and did they have a similar sense of humour.
I think it’s kind of funny that a guy would just go to a different place to escape a crime back in the Middle Ages. Up till the 11th or 12th century the death penalty was unspoken of (in the Netherlands, but it counted for the entirety of early medieval western Europe if I’m believing my uni). For capital crimes you would be banished for either a number of years or life, so back then you were kind of supposed to escape to another place after killing somebody.
Back then being banished was serious business, so don't think they got off easily
