Remember, Jesters were medieval stand-up comedians and they did political commentary.

[@velarswood]

Like the one that called the kings son a bastard and was to be executed but the king granted him his own execution due to him being a good jester. Told him he wanted to die of old age so the king exiled him.

[@parkervance3646]

Some things never change

[@TheMimiSard]

@@velarswood They were in fact employed to roast monarchs. I once came across something that said Queen Elizabeth the First remonstrated with her jester because he wasn't harsh enough.

[@velarswood]

@@TheMimiSard that's awesome. I know some were an advisor role because they were honest and open. I'm sure if the kings general got too out of line there would have been some repercussions and prolly be sent to die in some God aweful war.

[@alexanderzippel8809]

And they were often one of the most trusted advisors since they could freely to the king and didn’t get executed for not being a yes man to the king

[@JustABirbd]

The fact that medieval armors were incredibly flexible while still being very effective at the time just shows what humanity can do when it's something they actually need.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Many moderns just think people back them were stupid, granted this is a common trend as the Renaissance lot called French architecture gothic as they went all Roman and the Enlightenment messed up history. On something like military matters, you will either die or progress and that is what happened you have arrows that pierce (To a greater or lesser degree.)? Well these Milanese armourers dunked my armour into water a bit and now it can barely do it (They actually lost the battle but that was because the commander was so good on the English side and blunt force trauma kills. Plus the Milanese cavalrymen were mercenaries and money.) and on and on.

[@rayanderson5797]

That, and people also forget that armor and weapons had been in development over thousands of years. The first swords were invented more or less in the bronze age. That's close to 3000 years of development and practical testing by the late medieval period. Guns, on the other hand, have been around for _at most_ about 1000 years. Imagine what we'll come up with by the time guns have been around as long as swords were.

[@DoomerDoxy]

Yea that armor was quite flexible but even in old armor it was quite flexible such as mail and lamellar

[@dapizzasnake8462]

0:08 common misconception: armor is not super heavy, you can move almost like normal, and the weight it adds is distributed across your whole body, making it not to difficult to carry around. Meaning you can still run, or even do some acrobatics in it.

[@WhatIsSanity]

A full harness was typically at least 40 kilograms all up and yes distributed around the wearers body, but still heavy and required strength training to bear the weight. Quite flexible though.

[@screaming_cat2007]

So it’s heavy to lift but to wear it’s much lighter than you would think. Neat

[@wither_klng2881]

​@@WhatIsSanitymore like 40 lbs not kilos, or 20 kilos, unless you are specifically talking about jousting armour

[@WhatIsSanity]

@@wither_klng2881 20 kilos is 52 pounds, and mail is heavy as hell. A full set of mail alone for a big dude could easily weigh 20 kilos on its own.

[@Obs3ver]

The slowness seen in movies and tv is (from what I think) jousting armour, witch is heavier and bulkier because turns out, while getting hit by a large wooden pole at over 40 mph (from what I think) you need a bit more armour to walk that shit off

[@dapizzasnake8462]

13:05 they did actually have guns in the medieval era, for example in the fall of Constantinople 1453 (the end of the medieval era) there were reports of guns being used, though it is true that these guns were still flawed and would be improved in future.

[@stoirmslw7195]

Guns is a fairly tame word for what was at the Fall of Constantinople, the “Guns of Urban” were oversized proto cannons. That said there might have been a few and I mean very few smaller cannons and handheld guns floating around but hose were still rare by the time of the 40 years war

[@dapizzasnake8462]

@@stoirmslw7195 I agree, there were barely any handheld guns at the time, I should have clarified their rarity and relatively poor quality compared to just using a bow or crossbow.

Vlad Dracula Tepes famously used a good number of handcannons in an ambush that saw a superior Ottoman force destroyed

Jesters were badass, they were kind of reality checkers for some kings but mostly tester of virtues.More talented the jester is capable of slinging mud at their king, the stronger the king was for taking it.

actually the tail end of medieval era they had cannons ands flintlock muskets that took about a minute to load prep aim then fire... assuming it didnt blow up and kill you so cannons were more useful.

[@jakubpluhar4914]

The first "musket" like gunpowder weapons was called the arquebus, and some before that was the houfnice (howitzer), "primitive" cannons and also, basically a barrel on a long stick.

[@thesoupman7575]

4:05 personally, I enjoy the visored barbute, stylish, simple, sleek, and effective. If not that however, probably a Armet (I am aware that the barbute historically did not have a visor, but I like it with one because it’s cool, bite me)

[@SCP-O5-3]

I like the barbute as well, but personally I would choose the spangenhelm because of how well it obscures the face, without the helm looking chunky or causing difficulties moving the wearer’s head, and it also looks awesome.

[@dreamwolf7302]

That one about peasants and vacation was debunked, HARD. Peasants only had to work 140 days out of the year, for THE MONARCHY. They still worked everyday, because the 140 days of work, didnt count towards the taxes they owed to the king. So farmers had crops they grew for the king, crops they grew to pay the kings tax, and crops they grew to try and survive winter.

[@johnnotrealname8168]

Only 36 minutes late and I like the dog. Edit: Wages actually rose after the plague (Demand and Supply.) and there were social revolts like Wat Tyler's rebellion which Richard II ably defeated by hunting down and executing them when they went home, in France it was more to do with mercenaries killing everyone and the Lords not doing their jobs of defending the peasants (A lot of them were children by this point though.), Charles V of France was quite the Monarch and also dealt with the issue well if with similar force as in England. Strictly speaking there were cannons, called gonnes I think, at the time of the Hundred Years' War famously in The Battle of Crécy (1346) where they were used to defend the carriages with the baggage I think...they were utterly useless by the way and my favourite adage applies: "as dangerous to its users as its foes" however their morale effect was definitely significant (Imagine the noise of a gonne when you have never heard of one before.). Nevertheless the chroniclers never mentioned it and some 19th Century dude had to dig up the balls on the fields.

[@ItsDaKoolaidDude]

tbh i never knew that canada had _double bladed_ scythes. I just knew that war scythes were usually reconfigured farmer tools.

[@jakubpluhar4914]

I am pretty sure the meme was just making fun of Canada, that if medieval Canada actually existed, they'd have weapons based off the hockey stick lol

[@lude8683]

Mid to late 15th century, they actually already had guns, and it was still technically the middle ages until 1492. So there was an entire century of medieval history where a guy with a gun and armor could have shot a medieval knight in full plate armor.

4:03 Pure aesthetic, it's probably the Spangenhelm. Aesthetic and functionality, I'll go with the Great Helm.

[@TiernanOleary]

4:07 Armet easy, because you can attach a Gorget to protect the neck unlike the Spangehelm, Basinet, Great helm, Hounskull and Kettle hat. You have a Visor so tgat you can see perfectly and still be protected unlike the Great helm and Frog-mouth. And it has face protection unlike the Bascinet and Kettle hat

[@DynomitePunch]

contrary to popular belief, the "vacation time" a peasant got was seasonal, because ninety percent of peasant's work was farm related, so aside from feeding animals and patching the homestead, the rest was farming, therefore, yes they did get lots of time off, but that was because they didnt' have much to do outside the local smith and some other odd job people like sales people etc, so of course the clergy kept them happy cuz they where probably either bored, hungry, or both, it's also why the majority of our holidays are in the fall and winter, cuz food and the depression of dying from the cold etc
