It is about 8am, on the morning of the 23rd of January 1483. Anselm Adornes, a member of that famous family from Bruges, is having breakfast in the guest hall of a Scottish monastery. A small army of men gathers outside hell-bent on doing him harm. Wanting to protect the nuns, Anselm decides to step outside and reason with the men. A decision that will cost him his life.
Pilgrim, merchant, humanist, knight, diplomat, renaissance man, Anselm Adornes was many things, but what was a Flemish merchant doing in Scotland and why was he murdered? Welcome to Medieval Madness.

Oh yess....the solid music the british accent....yess....a new topic, medieval of course...yesss so soothing, so interesting.

If I could hop in a time machine, I would absolutely go wander around one of those Flemish cloth fares… mell maybe I’d link up with a merchant and do the whole circuit. Medieval textiles are a delight. I wish we had more remnants left from that time. Frankly, it’s a testament to the quality and skill of the 13th century hands that spun and wove that cloth. Todays’s fabrics can barely make it through two washings without breaking down. Yet, we somehow have managed to hang on to natural fiber textiles made over half a millennia ago. Just incredible.

I often dream of travelling back to this period and taking a trip to the holy lands. A dangerous time but what an adventure with truly amazing sights to behold.

[@vanessaculater9038]

​@@mrlume9475dangerous indeed, you'd be dead within the day.

[@tashokukisune]

I honestly live for comments like this because I agree!

[@mrlume9475]

@@conclavecabal.h0rriphic Totally agree, the skill and ability of mediveval manufacturers is something that is rarely discussed. We need to get that time machine up and running to immerse ourselves in this truky wondeeful period in human ingenuitety.

[@MrsJHarrington]

I agree with you 100% A true testament to quality!

[@RemusKingOfRome]

Who murdered him ? Obviously his wife, for forcing her to have 16 children. :D

[@roserevancroix2308]

Of course...if a woman kills a man it must be his fault right. No accountability for females - ever. Because they are toddlers and cannot help themselves.👶

The initial ads are so long on this that I gave up, But after quitting and restarting KZbin, they disappeared. Fascinating video, thank you.

sepulchre = seh pull cur The h is silent

[@mike-myke22]

Yep, quite annoying.

[@TheKoolbraider]

Yup, that was what I was thinking but thought it may be an Anglicized pronunciation.

In Bruges? I wonder if they saw the alcoves in Koningin Astridpark.

That's not a fair comparison - school sucks ass.

Hi Medieval Madness I really enjoy your channel I have learnt so much! Is it possible one day to cover money in the Medieval ages? Like where did the rich and poor keep their money and what happened if someone was too ill or injured to work? Thank you for teaching us so much!

Sepulchre is pronounced SEPull-ker, not se-PULLtre

[@Reina.Nijinsky]

@3:30 it’s pronounced “se-pul-ker” subbed 👍🏼 Edit: wut was the “mystery” bit?

[@SakuraAsranArt]

Somebody need to adapt this into a dark, moody crime drama for HBO.

[@tinyteeth4777]

Another 1483 murder/mystery is what happened to the princes in the tower! 1483 was sure a year.

Scottish politics were brutal! Anselm was an active historical figure with many resenting that!

There was a movie based on this starring Collin Farrel

Damn that sexy Flanders! (If you know, you know. Also we're friends now 😄)

[@scallopohare9431]

His wife - did we even hear her name? - was remarkable if only for bearing so many children when many women died in childbirth.

[@jamest2401]

Sepulchre is pronounced “Sep-pull-curr”. I love your content, man, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard the pronunciation of a word massacred so heinously.

[@rnp497]

16 children, dying must have been a doddle and nice break

[@conclavecabal.h0rriphic]

💀 srsly

[@soylentgreen6082]

First, I am a long time subscriber, first time commenter, and I enjoy you Medieval Madness channel on YT a lot. But... The Holy Sepulchre is not pronounced Seh-pull-cher, it is pronounced Seh-pull-ker. A small thing, but as it was the focus of the religious imagination of all of Medieval Europe during the crusades, it is worth getting the pronunciation correct. Also, it is important to understand the difference between Cal-vary and Cav-alry. Jesus wasn't crucified on horseback, after all.

[@erin6083]

You ought to verify some of your pronunciations before you upload.

[@HoustonHardHitters01]

The movie In Bruges with Colin Farrell is really good. It's about contract killing and they meet up there.

Your ancestors were serfs who didn’t own the pot they pissed in.

Yo dude, are you white? I don’t think you’re doing enough to give that away. You need to be even more obnoxious about it.
