Medieval Things NOT Considered Appropriate in Today's Society...

I don’t like how thumbnail baby is looking at me.

It's a common misconception that poeple rarely lived past their 30s. People often lived to old age, but since the infant mortality was high, it brought the average age down to 35. So in reality, if you lived past infancy, you could expect to live a long life well into old age.

It's amazing how humanity survived the medieval times

Re: teen pregnancy being encouraged and Margaret Beaufort. Margaret Beaufort's pregnancy was looked on askance by the people at the time, considering her FAR too young to be pregnant. While nobles might be married at a young age to cement alliances, usually the marriage was not consummated until they were much older. People were pretty horrified at Margaret's young age. She was never able to bear any more children after Henry.

No wonder why giving birth was so traumatic and often fatal back then, as it seems mother's were often children themselves.

It's 2023 and some folks in London still carry knives and swords for self defence.

And some people think video games cause kids to be violent. What was their excuse in medieval times?

This is my favorite channel, I absolutely love everything about it! 😊

You have overlooked the fact that a 16 year old prince was only nominally in charge of an army. In reality, he would have one or two nobles, experienced in the art of war, to actually advise him. Teenage Japanese nobles were also expected to lead armies in this fashion, during the same period in history.

lmao the thumbnail. like that kid is going "yeah, see this? i get to go home to THIS every night. bet you wish you got this" like that cafeteria scene from american dad

Honestly, the medieval sense of humor doesn't sound very different from the content and even behavior you see on 4chan.

So glad to see a new video from one of my favorite channels!! 🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉

Didn’t the marrying very young thing mostly count for nobles and royalty, to forge alliances and friendships with other noble/ royal houses? I read somewhere that among the common people, the average age of marrying and having their first child was between 17-18 and early 20s. I even read an academic paper for uni last year that said that that was one of the reasons why Christianity first gained popularity mostly amongst women in Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire; marrying pubescent kids off to older men was custom in their own pagan religion, but within Christianity commoners could wait until were 18 or in their twenties, and they didn’t have to remarry if they became widows.

This was very interesting, I always look forward to your videos! ❤😊

Another great video. Do you have one with the opposite topic? Things considered inappropriate in the middle ages that we accept or even endores today?

I was worried! 2 weeks no medieval madness, totally madness!

"Pray to give me a cutting from this miraculous tree" LMAO. Not the tiniest trace of chill

Hi! I have a video request, kinda? I was cleaning my house while listening to your stuff and I found myself wondering how the average person's house would have been different, and how cleaning that house would have been different. Like.... There would be a lot less trash because food didn't come in packaging, but where did they put food scraps? Did people in towns just throw onion tops and other scraps out the window? What kind of soap did they use for washing dishes? Did they even bother using soap or did they just rinse them? Did they bother making their beds? I know they put rushes on the floor so there wouldn't be any sweeping or mopping, but the once a year they did clean them, how thorough was that cleaning? I know that a lot of this wouldn't be written about because it was considered womens' work, but if you have any sources I found myself curious and wanted you to know that if you have that video idea on the back burner, some of us are genuinely curious. :)

Medieval Europe mindset is basically the modern Chinese mindset.

🤣 it never ceases to bemuse me how little we've evolved as a species since the medieval times
