Video probably got recommended to me because i'm slovenian, I was kinda surprised to see the low view count. This is a fantastic effort and presentation, great footage too. Your channel deserves way more subscribers

[@MasonObscura]

I appreciate it!

I really like the "yeah, but here's what his *opponents* said" start of the toilet story, and the "opponents might have made it up" at the end of it. Because historians generally agree that the toilet story was invented by Erazem's opponents for the exact reasons stated in the video. The video is pretty on point. -- Dnevnik (local newspaper and news website) had an extensive write-up on how Erazem didn't actually die on the toilet. However, news outlets seem to be wholly incapable of keeping the articles accessible for more than a year or two ...

[@ardweaden]

6:00 That's Bohinj valley in the Alps, not Vipava (vee-pah-vah) valley in the Mediterranean region.

[@paulaaras1207]

Cool I always see this castle driving by and I’ve always wondered what’s its story

[@YouBazinga]

If you drive by often, then you must live near by, because the castle far from any bigger roads.

[@chrisrohde7696]

[@jtjt3823]

Nice, super interesting

[@rokbuh2770]

Fun facte...the castel is in witcher

[@mrakovc]

Funner fact 😁 The castle is in Armour of God, and it is where Jackie Chan has one of his worst stunt injuries, almost killing him.

Was also made as a community map in CSGO at some point ^^

😮😂 SO COOL!!!!!

[@koalabear1984]

Its probably a smear story by the habsburg rivals. He probably died on the castle walls

[@nzshauna3680]

The dreams of bats, nice touch

[@rageXnation32]

come back mason

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

If so .. he was shit out of luck

[@valentintapata2268]

It wasn't so, this is an old piece of Habsburg propaganda. Erasmus died fighting, he was killed by a projectile from a handgun. And the toilet shown by guides was built around 100 years after the siege.

[@tonnywildweasel8138]

@@valentintapata2268 : Now, that's interesting! Thank you very much! Really appreciate it 👍

[@Pancake_Nix]

@@valentintapata2268 damn, really? I'll have to look into that. Cos everywhere you look, the story with the toilet cannon barrage is being retold. I can't remember if we were told that in school as well, but for were told this story when visiting the castle for sure. History being written by the victors and all that, eh?

[@FloofersFX]

@@valentintapata2268 I thought they just rebuilt the toilet later. It is definitely newer than a lot of the rest of the structure. But what we were told on school trips was yeah, got rebuilt.

[@valentintapata2268]

@@FloofersFX The original castle was a lot smaller and deeper in the cave, there are still some parts from this period. Most of the castle, including the famous toilet, was built long after the siege. Valvasor also wrote about the treason and it is a popular tale, but the siege happened more than 200 years before his reteling. Valvasor's tale is a romanticized version that would be aproved by the Austrian court - and not a true story of political opposition against the Habsburgs.

[@Ghenesa]

If i remember correctly, there was just 10-13 defenders in the castle. So not really huge garnison.

☠️🎉🎃 A very american approach to the story...

Guilty as charged

[@TheFlyingDogFish]

Sorry to disappoint you, but that is just a legend.

[@rokbuh2770]

No it is not it is documeneted

[@Guru630]

interesting castle & history but today one of the worst tourist traps in the region with no historical merit in the exibition whatsoever I regretted spending an afternoon there listening to often times blatantly wrong statements in the audioguide

[@drunaisis9797]

You regret being there or you regret listening audioguide? But why would you listen to audioguide if you already knew everything so extensively that you know the guide, any guide, will be blatantly wrong even before you hear it? You sound Slovenian, why you don't do something to do things right in your country when they are wrong, there is just a million of your people, someone got to do it, otherwise foreigners will come and they will do it
