Another stupid death, with James II, king of Scotland (died 1460).
From Horrible Histories (Series 3, Episode 3).
(C) Lion Television and BBC - Zábava
0:27 - "James I, James II, James III. Not very imaginative of you Scottish royals."
Well, considering how many Georges have been King of England...
The Jameson times
Just wait till you hear about a kingdom called France
Darryn Murphy I hear Luis wasn’t a very common royal name
There have been 7 James of Scotland and only 6 George's of England. Although there have been 8 Edwards of England so all in all they're both as bad as each other lol.
Or Alfonsos in Spain, though technically Alfonso XII and XIII were the only ones of their name who reigned over all Spain.
It's because they traced their royal lineage from the Principality (later Kingdom) of Asturias.
"Well... At least he didn't call it James..."
"Over two copies sold"
New York Times: BESTSELLER!!!!!!!
This video had more information than Wikipedia on James II.
@David Ritchie If not for the Hanovers, would you be King of Scotland?
In 1449, nineteen-year-old James married fifteen-year-old Mary of Guelders, daughter of the Duke of Gelderland. She had numerous royal ancestors such as John II of France and John of Bohemia. She bore him seven children, six of whom survived into adulthood. Subsequently, the relations between Flanders and Scotland improved. James's nickname, Fiery Face, referred to a conspicuous vermilion birthmark on his face which appears to have been deemed by contemporaries an outward sign of a fiery temper.
I ADORE Mat's Scottish accent. My fave after his French and Pirate. :))
As Scottish as shortbread in a tartan tin.
I love the conversations he has with the skeletons. XD
Moral of the story: when someone tells you to take cover you TAKE COVER!
I'd buy a copy of "Death's Big Book of Baby Names" for my coffee table!
It'd probably be the most complete book of names as he has met everyone.
His laugh is priceless XD
mat's scottish accent is just too cute
Cannon made from Flanders and have thick metal hoops prevent the barrel from splitting.
I know what the Cannon of James the 2nd meant. A Tree Cannon. Mythbusters addition. The ammo was rocks and the rock caused the cannon to split
Thank the Lord for giving us cannonballs.
1000 Ways To Die: The Junior Edition
I love that line "NEXT."
"dying to see 'The Lion' in action" I see what the writers did there.
He didn't name the cannon James - too funny!
They should do Count Adolph of Neuenahr and Moers...died when he entered a pouderhouse smoking a cigar^^
"Don't worry! My leg won't blow off from this cannon! I'll be fine-" (Blows up) 😱*dies*
Guess ol Jimmy went out with a bang
From a Belgian gun.
Ironically, FN has made some great guns over the years.
James II (Middle Scots: Iames Stewart; 16 October 1430 - 3 August 1460), who reigned as king of Scots from 1437 on, was the son of James I and Joan Beaufort. Nothing is known of his early life, but by his first birthday his twin and only brother, Alexander, who was also the older twin, had died, thus making James the heir apparent and Duke of Rothesay.
"Over 2 copies sold" 😂😂😂😂😂
James was a politic, and singularly successful king. He was popular with the commoners, with whom, like most of the Stewarts, he socialized often, both in times of peace and war. His legislation has a markedly popular character.

“The Loin bit you”
Death, can I get a book for free? My mum would kill me if I bought anything online.
Then you could be on Stupid Deaths! ;)
True...
I don't know what Death is talking about. England had 8 Henrys and 8 Edwards.
Scotland had no gaps between the 6 Jacobite Kings (6 King James one after the other with Mary in between 5 and 6). Some might find that a bit unimaginative but certainly also very impressive.
England only managed 4 Georges in a row and I note there were gaps between some of the Edwards and the Henries.
6 George’s too, 2 James’, 3 Richards and 4 Williams that’s all the multiple ones I can think of
Ps: just remembered there was 2 Charles’
@@Wilk32 2 Elizabeth and 2 Mary
@@deeehi3 yes! Forgot about them they were Mary and Elizabeth Tudor, and Mary daughter of james ii, and our present monarch Elizabeth II. Also I forgot to mention two Charles’
@@Wilk32 its ok, Charles II is my favorite and I forgot about him too.
hearing Scottish people say "hoops" is my favorite thing
the flashing is a bit annoying but that didnt bother me much lol thanks for the upload :D!!!
with thick metal HUPES.
Curiously enough, James held no other titles while Duke of Rothesay. On 21 February 1437, James I was assassinated and the six-year-old Duke of Rothesay immediately succeeded him as James II.
I just love HH. I don't look out for it as it is children's TV but if I'm flipping channels and there it is, then lucky me.
"Over 2 copies sold!"
if you think scots are bad on royal names then think twice, Denmarks royal line went on from 1400s like this Christian I, Hans, Christian II, Fredrik I, Christian III, Fredrik II, Christian IV, Fredrik III and they kept this going for 500 years until the last 2 which was Christian X and Fredrik IX but since they now got a queen /Margrete II) she is the first 1400s who was not named either Christian or Fredrik.
Thanks!
Meaning that he ate so much food at once he died, not that he chomped down on his feet.
This wouldn’t be funny if Death wasn’t making hilarious comments
Thank God for that!
At least he didn't call the cannon James!
That cliffhanger though...
I want that book!
...okay I need to search that right away...
Ah Ha Ha! Really!?! Never heard that historic factoid! Thanks! (I guess you could say 'they gave him enough powder to blow himself to hell'!)
The lion bit him🤣🦁
Simon said Doodoo, doodoo. Lol
He does not appear to have inherited his father's taste for literature, which was "inherited" by at least two of his sisters; but the foundation of the university of Glasgow during his reign, by Bishop Turnbull, shows that he encouraged learning; and there are also traces of his endowments to St. Salvator's, the new college of Archbishop Kennedy at St Andrews. He possessed much of his father's restless energy. However, his murder of the Earl of Douglas leaves a stain on his reign.
What you lot need is this: Death's big book of baby names! Over 2 coppies sold!
I wonder if making cannons out of softer metal would help them from exploding.
Edit: After seven years of watching documentaries. Cast iron is legit the worst possible metal for making cannons.
Well, eventually they did. Bronze was lighter and softer, and for smooth bore cannon, it's perfect. The 12 pounder Napoleon used in the US Civil War and other conflicts is a perfect example. However, its own softness makes it inferior for rifled cannons, so they had to go back to cast iron, which was the most common cannon making material of the time for a long while, until steel was available in mass produced quantities in the 1880s onward. To reduce the risk of explosions for cast iron rifled cannons of the day, in 1861, Union captain Robert Parrott devised the Parrott gun, with a wrought iron band around the base of the cast iron barrel to strengthen the firing chamber of the weapon, which undergoes the highest stress of the initial blast upon firing.
@@seanwhitman8353 After what I’ve learned in the past seven years since making that comment. Cast iron was used for medieval grenades because it was so brittle it’s shrapnel was ten worse than the explosion itself.
And the Ottomans kept killing themselves with their own giant cast iron cannons.
So yeah, I’m 100% team bronze cannon.
William Wallace, he was not a Scottish king but was one of the main leaders during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
i want that baby name book :P
So....Mat played yet another Stuart/Stewart!!! 😂
it's like the camera keeps blinking XD
Other Scottish king mentioned at the end was?
I know that. I re-watched the video and I heard the other Medieval Scot. Darn, the first time I watched this video I swore I heard king. I was probably laughing too hard to tell the difference.
Originality in naming practices isn't really a strong suit in royal families, is it?
admit it we all sang along
Actually he did. Maybe you're confused about the expression. It sounds ambiguous, but it's correct. He ate himself to death means that he ate until he died. Same happens with "he drank himself to death".
A big book of baby names ?
@Kjelly Lund And the current heir to the Danish throne is called...Fredrik
All their Kings are either Christian or Frederick, ever since King Hans died.
King of SCOTS !!!
Is it ok If I have a copy
Don't worry, we all make that mistake!
0:17 to skip the introduction if you are watching these all in a row
A CUANNUN!
God that flickering is annoying
2:04!
at least he didn't get killed by humpty dumpty
I'm Vixxen's bro and horrible histories is wrong about that it was England and in 1702.
figures that something made in Flanders would blow up in one's face. Apologies to other people of Belgian extraction.....
HaHa he said do do
1:10
What about the scottish king whom went riding on horseback at night, against his advisers recommendations.
He road of a cliff.
King Malcolm, I think, don't know which number, 1200s.
hahaha
