So if a man's wife gets kidnapped the husband has to attempt to buy the old one back before he can marry again but if the husband gets kidnapped the wife can get remarried to a new husband right away? Sounds fair to me hehe.
To be fair, in the olden days women had very few rights and limited job opportunities unlike in modern day where women have many options ; in many places women couldn’t even own property. Women back then had very few options outside of marriage, the few women who could live comfortably outside of it were mostly from wealthy families or the few who had a prosperous business (in places where they were allowed to openly own and run places)
in contrast flemish law was extremely strict on these things, kidnap and rape were capital punishments, a rapist was to be put to death with the precursor of the precursor of the guilotine, basicly, your neck is placed on a plank, between two holders, another plank is placed on top between the holders, and then they smash a hammer on top of the plank until your neck was broken or even severed they kept refining it until they came to what was basicly a guilotine, then some French chap stole the idea, took credit for it, but ended up dying by it
Husband: One penny. Wife: WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONE PENNY??? Husband: You’re right, *cuts penny in half* half a penny. Kidnapper: You’ve just travelled hundreds of miles to buy her back and your offering half a penny? Husband: Saxon law mate, I can’t get a new wife until I’ve at least tried to buy the old one back, so I’m offering you half a penny.
Husband: Oh no, not enough? Oh, I'm heartbroken! Bye then, dear! I guess I'll just have to get over it with a younger, nicer, less naggy wife! Hehehe...
@@carolinpurayidom4570 You're right. But he seemed like he didn't need that much convincing. Probably would have went back to the other guy on his own.
"Oh I am heartbroken." I LOVE the way he says that with such a bitchy swagger.
Where?
Luke Work 1:30
"Sorry mate, half a penny you say..." Good one.
The way Simon looks at Martha before he says it too, you can tell he’s thinking “Do I really want to be stuck with her forever? Nah!”
"im gutted, why did i bid so high" HAHAHAHAHAHA
Why.
Is.
This.
Show.
So.
AWESOME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Munitia Blastpaw
I have no idea! They somehow make the show amazing
I agree
Probably because it has a perfect cast. The new series isn’t working the same way because they’re not in it anymore.
Yessss
Hee, I love that the second time he kidnaps the husband.
💅🏳️🌈
@@carolinpurayidom4570 don’t read to much into it I think he was just helping a mate get away from a shrew of a wife
Still a better love story than Twilight.
Anything is a better love story than Twilight. Well, at least the movies. Can’t vouch for the books appealing to 13 year olds🤷♀️.
That is one cheap divorce, what a bargain!.
wife: half a peney
man: i'm gutted why i bid so high
lol
This is almost like a Monty Python movie.
I'd go as far as calling Horrible Histories the family friendly Monty Python.
Throughout Horrible Histories, there was always going to be something completely horrible and completely hilarious 🤣

Just realized that was Simon kidnapping Jim the second time around.
Poor Martha! She marries everyone in this!
Damn, Simon looks good with long hair 😻
Love how he looks like a giant here. The size difference between the men adds to the comedy!

HALF A PENNY?!
Half a penny you say?
What?

Husband: One penny.
Wife: WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONE PENNY???
Husband: You’re right, *cuts penny in half* half a penny.

1:13 and how cheap was that metal coin to get that clean of a slice with a dagger?
Cheap… or not so cheap.
They often used real gold, which isn’t the strongest metal.
Why was the husband kidnapped in the sequel?
Cuz 💅🏳️🌈
@@carolinpurayidom4570 You're right. But he seemed like he didn't need that much convincing. Probably would have went back to the other guy on his own.
