Thanks to Duncan Fyfe for guest writing this episode!
You ever have a meeting go so poorly that 60 men all fell into a latrine and drowned? Yeah it's a hard bar to clear. So let's talk about the Erfurt Latrine Disaster in the Holy Roman Empire and how Luis III came away somehow smelling of roses. (Not literally)

This might have been a silly little insignificant incident, but I learned some really cool stuff about the middle ages: 1) castles and churches had latrines right beneath them, and they were utterly disgusting and might not get cleaned up in a while 2) There were minor land disputes between minor dukes in the holy roman empire, a thing that I always suspected but never really saw until now 3) manuscripts really were prized by nobles back then I hope y'all keep making these small history episodes, that reveal so much about day to day life in history.

Concerning the book theft, Louis DID NOT get off lightly. Remember, this was before the printing press was invented. Any and all books were hand copied and therefore extremely valuable. For all people complained that books were kept from the public and claimed in place, well, don't we do the same for valuables in a museum? There wasn't much use for the peasantry to read if they weren't able to keep Dark Age Jane Austen books in their houses. The nobility, however, needed to read for treaties and contracts and just a general sign of, well, nobility. Any luxury books were a sign of wealth and education, and theft was considered a much more grave matter back in those days.

It's interesting how Germany's borders have shifted, there's a whole state - Hessen - between Mainz and Thuringia now. And as someone whose historical interest runs to the Cold War I have to point out that the Hessen/Thüringen state line used to be a hard border, the Iron Curtain itself.

Hessen came into beeing during the war of Thuringian sucession round about 70 Yeats after the Latrine disaster. After the death oft the last Landgrave of the Ludovinger Dynasty and a long war the two rival factions split the terretory between them. Some enclaves of Mainz remained in Thuringia. (Broadly speaking: all places in Thuringia, that are mostly catholic today)

As someone who has worked on septic systems, I have to say that I find this story hard to take at face value. An open sewage system releasing sewer gas under your floorboards would be deadly even without the floor collapsing. Sounds like a something jealous peasantry would make up.

I know you see probably won't see this but my suggestion for a series is the story of the LA Aqueduct. On one hand, it's a Marvel of engineering that turned Los Angeles into the cultural Hub it is today, but on the other hand it was an unmitigated environmental disaster that led to many wildlands disappearing and many farmers losing their livelihoods. It's a story that's unfortunately relevant, and one that EC's unbiased approach to history would be perfect for

The animation doesn't do it justice, but the "alcove" part of the king's survival gives rise to the headcanon that this was actually a wonderfully-executed mass assassination of a bunch of squabbling princes in the name of political expediency. Efficient? Check. Plausible deniability? Check. Humiliation of the victims, even in death? Check. King's survival looks miraculous? Check.

I didn't know there was a possibility of Death By Terlet, and yet, here we are! Also, this was surprisingly funny for a one-off that by all accounts technically shouldn't. I'm not usually into toilet humor, but in all fairness, the toilet is not what's so funny. It's more the Murphy's Law aspect of this scene of events, not to mention their consequences overall.
