An enjoyable romp through an otherwise maudlin subject although I found myself buoyed up by the variety of mispronunciations, bless you, I'm not SURE setting the more linguistically sensitive and alert of your audience to mirth was quite the intention. No one likes a clever clogs and it's not that - we're all on journeys of self improvement and you might find these useful for another time. In the order in which they appear: Theologian - the-uh-LOW-jun (and not the-O-le-jun) Alms is said just like arms (the "l" is not pronounced at all in almond either - ar-mund) The subtitles came up with DUI - which really is something quite different! I guess you were talking about Douai? The French would say dwé pretty much, we tend to say do-aye. And when "an-yew" was mentioned was that Anjou? In which case "ah(n)-zhoo" The "n" is in brackets as it's barely there in speech and the zh is the sound the "s" has in leisure or measure. I cannot lie, my biggest grins were reserved for Basle😏 We actually got two variations, first baz-lay then bay-zul - it's baah-zəl . The upside down "e" is the shchwa, a sort of non descript, non precise sound we often use which is like "uh"....no particular vowel it's just infill: there's one between the "l" and "m" when the Irish say "film". But Maine and Lille were Ok so be of good cheer and not at all suicidal!🤓

I could imagine a lot of people killed themselves due to severe pain,because lack of medical knowledge,imagine having cancer and racked with pain,and can only look forward to a painful lingering death

You would have no idea you had cancer back then and you would die from something else most likely before the actual cancer killed you

[@bridaw8557]

Yes. But since we live so long now, people have chronic illnesses that are equally as painful. But the taboo of even talking about S is a huge part of the problem. Sometimes talking to a peer who’s been there can make life worth it for a while longer.

[@r.8902]

this is such a morbidly interesting topic that i feel is barely touched on because of how dark it is. thanks for doing this one! i feel like suicide should not be a topic that its glossed over because i think the more people who understand it (even if this is related to a past era), the less stigmatized it will be.

[@Initium1000]

It was 5 years ago when I attempted this silliness. I was then locked up in a psych ward. My parents cried - My Dad had terminal cancer and died weeks later. My Mom loves me but she’s mentally ill and really didn’t support me. Along with my Dad dying, I was left by a woman I was very much in love with. She left me for another man and laughed at me about my situation. I had some good friends but they were perplexed by my choices and although they were sweet and supportive, they keep their distance since that time. I got out of the psych ward and went to work. I wanted to attempt the act again but a coworker saw me (I had lost a lot of weight). She called my name and informed me that I wasn’t looking too good. She was older, almost like a Mother figure. She told me “Don’t you do anything stupid to yourself” - I went into the bathroom and cried like a baby. Point being - SOMEONE cared, someone that didn’t know me well. I was so touched. The staff at the psych ward were sweet but it was clinical and the place made me feel horrible. But my coworker made all the difference. Anyway, this all happened during the holidays, my Dad died on Christmas. I haven’t celebrated anything since that time. I used to love the holidays - I loved family and friends during this time. As the season approaches, I know I won’t celebrate. I’ll be too depressed to even volunteer. I’ll be by myself without company, without a phone call, without anyone. It wasn’t always like that. Just be the person who says something insightful to someone that may need help. Who would have thought a sentence from a coworker helped me in such a way.

Ahhh, so it's been the same pattern throughout time. Men and women attempt at roughly the same rate (or women slightly more like nowadays), but due to methods chosen (hanging/stabbing/gunshot VS poison/cutting wrists), men succeed more often. Which can then skew data. Interesting. Thank you for covering this serious topic! And for your message at the beginning! ❤

Do people think that? I mean "falling on your sword" is an idiom that dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, even back in the Iron age people were known to commit suicide to get forgiveness for failures and preserve their honor from Rome to China, and tons of mythology from vampires to ghouls to evil ghosts are occasionally claimed to be caused by people who committed suicide

[@VersusArdua]

​@@arthas640I think as long as there's been human beings there's been people killing themselves off.

[@JohnDarksoul69]

It may seem preposterous but some people do think suicide is a recent phenomenon. I knew a guy who'd say that people kill themselves nowadays because we're not a "god-fearing society" anymore and that people didn't kill themselves in the past because the church ruled society or something like that... Needless to say, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Studying or reading in general was not his thing. So yeah who knows, maybe people like the aforementioned guy are watching this video too and learning something new lol

[@arthas640]

@@JohnDarksoul69 I've heard 2 camps on that thought: 1. That suicide really was less common since people were genuinely afraid of what the afterlife had in store for them, although that also depends on your definition of suicide since people who were miserable or seriously mentally ill may just drink themselves to death or something like that. It also wasnt unheard of for people to do thinks like stake out a spot and challenge any passing knight, soldier, or other armed person to a duel to the death. That or they could just easily sign up for a crusade or war and die that way. Sometimes people would also just go into the woods to die by wild animals, some knights, vikings, or other warriors would just go find a bear to fight in single combat in order to die with honor. People also sometimes worked around the suicide "rule" by just getting someone else to kill them since that person could then just ask for forgiveness. 2. Suicide was more common then we think because people would just cover it up. Even outside of religion there were tons of myths surrounding suicide that the person would come back as a vampire, haunt people as a ghost, come back as a ghoul, or just bring bad luck to everyone. It was also sometimes considered a dishonor for the family or even that persons lord since people may blame them for not preventing it or for making that person miserable. That all meant that people were incentivized to pass off a suicide as something else. Aside from those 2 points theres also the issue that until fairly recently suicide was much more taboo so people didnt discuss it much and even in things like newspapers it may be ignored or even covered up. Even today people may not say a family member or friend killed themselves but simply say they died without going into too many details or pass it off as something else. I know 2 people who killed themselves where the family usually doesnt say that, both people were terminally ill (AIDs and cancer) and killed themselves when they were getting close to death anyways so they usually just list those as the cause of death.

Are there more reasons not to 'exit', or are there more reasons to indeed exit ? Is there 'anything' selfish in committing it, or, are there more selfish reasons to denounce, deny, or condemn it ? Be very careful here. Why are the most fundamental of questions the most difficult ? Is your view the right one ? Or the only one ? Is another view wrong ? Or can another view simply be different. If you forgive another view, how do you justify that in your mind, how about in your heart ? Just what is it that makes some things so irreconcilable ?

[@SaltySteff]

I imagine a person would have had to experience seriously tremendous emotional pain in order for them to want to take their own life in thise days. It probably wasn't very common except in exceptional circumstances like war or the threat of torture. In the 21st century we look at mental health and unaliving ideations through a lense of compassion and understanding. Centuries ago there would have been literally zero support system or safety net in place for people struggling with mental health issues. Of course they didn't understand what we do now about mental health and illness, so a person experiencing struggles would have had the double whammy of not only having everyone around them hate them, but also themselves likely believing they're either possessed or being punished for past sins. Either way, it was a sign from God that you were worthy of being punished for something of your own doing. You'd be lucky if you had a compassionate relative to seek comfort in, maybe a sibling or parent. Imagine being well and truly THAT alone in the world.

Yes, they're an enormous joke, hotlines in particular. I've heard stories of people being put on hold for unbelievable lengths of time just to be hung up on. Other stories where the operator clearly doesn't care or is dismissive. Doesn't help if you say a few magic words, they'll send the cops to your residence, arrest you, and put you in psychiatric hold where you are completely dehumanized. The joke? Several thousand dollars for a few nights of garbage food, dehumanizing staff, and doing "activities" kindergarteners would find lame. Most people won't and don't get how bad things really are until put into such a circumstance. "Nobody cares." Takes a whole different meaning when nobody actually cares at all about you. Nobody.

If I had lived in the medieval ages I probably would have killed myself too. Life back then was so miserable

[@sojalemmi1515]

Everything is relative. Yeh, looking back, compared to modern times, life in the medieval ages wouldve been miserable for a majority of the population. However, people back them were familiar.with a very different world, with very different dynamics. To a modern man, it seems miserable to toil in a field, or break your back building various stone structures, all day, every day, only to come home to a watery root soup with old horse meat (if ur lucky). But this is all those people knew, this was life for them. Can you imagine the joy they might feel for a sweet summer rain that cooled them down and refreshed the world? Or how awesome it felt to relax in a picturesque field of flowers after a long, productive day of hard work with their lover in their arms, listening to the laughing and shouting of their kids as they played games, watching a beautiful sunset, breathing in the kind of fresh, clean evening air that modern man cant even fathom? Despite what appears to be a miserable life relative to a modern man's experience, the people back then had a lot to enjoy and be thankful for, their lives could easily feel like miraculous gifts to them. So yeh, it might seem like nothing but misery from a modern perspective, but that doesn't mean people back then couldnt find enchantment and beauty in life, and experience fulfillment and satisfaction with life that can easily be lost on modern men.

Peasant Life is a bit naff, why doesn't god help me though I pray and pay. Church- Keep praying Land Owner-Yeah pray no need to do anything rash. Peasant-If I kill myself I can free myself from this wicked life and go to heaven. Church-Oh no, erm, it's a sin Landowner-Oh no I may lose a worker and more, erm yeah what they said, it's a sin! Church and the Upper class keeping folks down since... the dawn of time 😅😂

Sunday my mom left me a voicemail telling me a relative’ father hung him self and died and this pops up on my KZbin feed today

[@TheDrivebynerf]

As always, love your vids!

[@nanphx2038]

Stevie Wonder reference? Another well done presentation; thanks.

[@wilhelminamarquart240]

I am neither beautiful or incredibly but thanks for saying that to all of us, I truly love your history videos as they are spot on with the history, would love to see a in depth video on the Battle of Bosworth even though it's not the middle ages but still would love to see one on it.

[@GBfanatic15]

man don't make me cry before the video has even started

[@samgreenwood9595]

Great way to start the video

[@DeanPodstupka]

Seems to me these people did it to get away from them(authorities) Afterwards all they were interested in was whatever money the person had, and to impose their will on the people.I think even in these times people knew that.

Flipping religion in all nations in the world since our brain had enough spare useless energy to creat something to control people and have power, from the azrec’s, Mayan, Egyptians…etc pretty much since Australopithecus climbed down from the trees. Have a wonderful weekend ya’ll

[@sunkan_sail0r]

Amazing video as usual! Anyone know what music plays at 4:22 I find it beautiful. If anyone could tell me what the music is, it’d be much appreciated.

[@NfL_eDiTs1231]

Flashing lights by Kanye west

[@theamateurconversationalis71]

Video actually start at 3:10

[@platinum7482]

I appreciate that you have bills to pay but it took over 3 minutes for the video to start, surely you must see that it is damaging your viewer retention and in the long term will do more harm than good.

[@MisterCynic18]

Just skip bruh

[@sirwi11iam]

Dude, you can just skip through the advert. Takes like 2 seconds😂

[@snSB127hskekn]

I agree with you. Unsubscribed. He should have the option to go to sections to skip. Not force me to look for it.. not interested anymore

[@luther1546]

I am neither incredible nor beautiful. Though I am human.

[@prairierider7569]

Not in Canada, we have trufeau’s MAID program the same the naxies used from 22-45

[@friendofvinnie]

Prairie swamper how goes life in the back water of corporate conservatives

[@ImmortalVampire19]

Nothing like a 2-minute VPN advertisement to kick off an episode of "Medieval Madnesses" 🙄

[@mariusxmeier2417]

Suicide is not worth it if you still have something to live for and it’s “just” emotional pain. But if you’re broken physically and you can’t even breathe, then why go through all that suffering. Cats and dogs are put to sleep when they’re in the dying too.

[@harringtonharrington1070]

13 minute video - 3 minutes are an ad smh

[@hotsaucecornielle9205]

Lower the background music’ volume pls

[@nbenefiel]

If you killed yourself in the Middle Ages it was considered an unforgivable sin. You could not be buried in consecrated ground.

[@Zegeebwah]

"Ugh this life is ass imma off myself to escape this life of miserable work" "Ah ahh! If you do that Jesus is gonna be mad at you 👀"

[@marcmichelin252]

Reach out if in need. Talk to someone, anyone. Much Love to ALL ! P.s. Love the show's madnessess

[@zuzannastachowska7906]

Love the content, the music is a bit too loud imo

[@I_am_a_cat_]

An ad seems kinda tasteless. Especially immediately following that intro... like seriously dude?

[@jubi400]

Wow! I don't like the crap that goes on these days, but I'm darn glad I didn't live during medieval times! It's like your life wasn't your own. Oh, yes, it belonged to a king. UGH!!

[@Trancymind]

Jubi, I'm your king. Lol! Your soul is mine! (starts laughing) (laughs) morphs to Shang Tsung.

[@jubi400]

@@Trancymind 😂👍

[@jasmyneleo9527]

why is there that highpitched noise in the back of the video

[@DandandanTelevison]

Starting the video 3 minutes in is fucking wild.

[@watcherowl5387]

Lost an extended family member to this couple years ago but the method they used not really available then

[@savage1971]

Video starts really @3:05

[@Petrarca.]

Nice video

[@Page5King]

Man that ad was insanely long.

[@zazaza903]

jesus that add last forever

[@DManCAWMaster]

So how prevelant was it? You didn't give exact stats

[@hassenmh2850]

3 minutes before the video really starts that's a fucking disgrace 😤😤😤

[@greenorange752]

The painting at 10.30 does not fit the topic. It's a Finnish painting from 1890 depicting work on slash-and-burn agriculture. It is certainly from well past the Middle Ages.

[@Wolaba8]

That product placement was a pisstake mate, find another way to incorporate it or just put it at the end in future.

[@Mothhour]

12:39 "went off her head"

[@laffi]

Should have done the ad first, then the helpful info regarding suicide.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

It's like having a front row seat to the destruction of the world. A goodnight lullaby for all life on earth right before the boom

[@Trancymind]

"Its the final countdown" song from the 80's starts playing all of the sudden.

[@joeblogs-vx4ep]

Its actually dam near impossible to get through to the Samaritans I say this from personal experience ....
