The sleep cycle makes sense! I go to sleep peace fully, and around midnight I just randomly wake with no cause. Fall back to sleep and wake up 10 years later.

There seems to be a lot of midevil experts now a days.
@canyoudigit6321 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
The closest to a medieval English language heard today is quite possibly the north east / geordie/ northumbria dialect which has remained unchanged in some of these areas for hundreds of years.

I'm so sad about the poor dog =/

Is this old lady hot, or am I just getting old too
@mlc-h6t October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
You mentioned that there weren't many torture devices during the Middle Ages. What about the implements on display at the various Museos della Tortura in Italy? Do the majority of them date to 19th century?
@bonniepatterson9485 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
So the Sainted Greyhound is basically Gelert?
@bonniepatterson9485 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
I love that she says that pictures of animals in illuminated manuscripts were not meant to be realistic, yet in the background there's a picture of a leopard practically stuffing its whole head up its bumhole in order to wash it. That seems a very realistic depiction of a cat to me.
@nukenugget October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
this all is a bit Anglocentric. it might be right but in the holy roman empire f.e. the tournament is a scheduled battle. where you try to take other nobles prisoner for ransom. jousting is not the main event initially for the nobles. however later patricians made it the main event and kind of a sport. thats where you get the fogmouth helmet for example. its completely unfit for combat but great as a safety gear.
@carlmartin4577 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
You are the most sexiest woman alive
@chrisway7113 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm

@snake5379 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
After the Professor's pointing at Ukraine and calling it the Middle East, I started doubting in her education quality
@LisaMariavanHarmelen October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
Old English sounds so much like Dutch
@dieharddwarf6398 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
The story about the dog is a French rip off, of gelert the dog
@ThePizzaMan_ October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
Loved this video. Very educational. Why is she so hot though?
@irishtimpkelly1 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
Why would people use the f word in an academic question? And why would a professor repeat it?
@ELIJAHIACOOL October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
So basically, it's just a German accent.
@sokmnky666 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm

@RedLeg13B October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm

@zi_nyc October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
With vikings she didn't put any blue pins where now is Russia and Ukraine. Too controversial presently?😂
@ZayaMillis October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
Trixie Mattel's Swedish accent is just a Medieval English accent. Haha
@josephososkie3029 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
Wonderful presentation. Hollywood inspired myths Begone!
@Venomous_Witch October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
So medieval English sounded like an American trying to sound swedish.

Gary didn't understand why Doug went upstairs to get one dollar bills when he invited him to go cow tipping.
@1ambeautypersonified October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
so irish people speek medieval?
@alexandraayeone1470 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
10:27 - don't forget everything is relative- as they had no clue what it was like to be glued to an iPad, going to the gym, cinemas etc etc... they didn't have those high expectations to be entertained like today's spoiled lil bastardos do (myself included at times lol)
A whole afternoon of supposedly "nothing to do" for us would be filled with normal life stuff- being outside, reading, views, fighting/ playing with siblings etc.
Their 'boring' to them would be parallel to our 'boring' to us now I reckon? 😊
In short - they never knew what they were missing- as we don't know what entertainment our future as humans holds for us all 😊

You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.

Karen believed all traffic laws should be obeyed by all except herself.

There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings.
@ColbySherwood October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
When we quit thinking primarily about ourselves and our own self-preservation, we undergo a truly heroic transformation of consciousness.
@PrimoLynch October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.
@ishaan863 October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm

@Unitedflyier October 1, 2024 - 12:55 pm
But your pronunciation of English is wrong. It's American.
