It was so bad and so memorable to Western culture that we know it simply as "the plague". The simple term "the plague" even hundreds of years later and everyone still knows what's being referenced.
The idea of catapulting dead bodies into a city you want to invade is both horrifying and oddly hilarious.
I don't blame them for thinking it was the end of the world. It must of felt like that. Especially since the world population was way lower then , so that who died was a huge % of world population...
If I am ever tempted to complain about my situation, I often think of these times. I am grateful to be where I am and I am grateful for the bravery of those who overcame this.
The longer episode was great! I really appreciate you putting in that extra effort to make it almost 40 minutes. I listen these videos while at work and it really helps the day go by while also satisfying my need for new information. Thank you so much!
I have watched plenty of documentaries on the plague, this is by far the best produced, most informative and entertaining one. Love the format and citations, it really helps you imagine that point in time. Thank you!
So well and informatively presented, I didn't notice when 40 minutes had passed
I don't have anything constructive to add other than I found this extremely informative, very enjoyable to watch and thank you for taking the time and effort to create this. Great work!
I watched 2/3 of my friends die of AIDS back in the 80s and 90s. When it first started, no one knew what it was and there was great panic. It was a terrifying experience to see a friend one day and find out 5 days later he was dead.
I couldn’t imagine how it felt to be in those Italian cities during this plague there was so much death in the air it probably was almost palpable. Those Italian cities were cities of the dead
Excellent work. I was throughly impressed with the presentation. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this episode. I thought at first "hmm a plague docu I'm sure it won't be much different to the others but I'll watch", but it really is different to the others. We never hear about the individuals or the little instances. I also enjoyed a longer video
Omg, I love this extra long video! I never found a video that explained this much about how it spread
When the narrator said the plague moved at 5 miles per day I got chills down my spine, that’s an astonishing level of movement for a disease, that’s definitely not normal. I’d agree with scientists and historians, it was some hybrid disease that just ran amok and devastated everywhere it went.
Finally a channel where I can enjoy everything medieval. Thank you for such incredible videos and hope to watch more of "Medieval Madness",
This is one of the best documentaries I've ever watched. Thank you for all the work you put into it.
This is fantastic! I learned more than I ever knew about this subject, thank you so much for your time and effort. It really paid off! 🤜🏼
Another great, informative episode and brilliant narration!! We are also treated to a longer episode so we can really get our teeth into it! Hope all Medieval Madness fans are well and wishing you all love, luck and peace. Love from loyal fan xxxx
Well done lad! This was professionally done and a great watch 😃. You deserve far more subs and recognition 👏🏾
