!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extra Information & Sometimes Corrections if Needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1:50 I meant Henry the Fowler not Flower but close enough. 3:08 Bohemian Silesia was at the time disputed with Poland so the zone of control along that entire border was very irregular and fluctuate a lot. Also there are a couple of small mistakes in the map which I found out about later, on top of that the color coordination is mostly random, so over all the HRE map is more an artistic representation (which is still fairly accurate) rather than an absolutely accurate map of the HRE in the later 12th century. The map is also representing the HRE after the fall of Henry the Lion. 5:23 The current pope in Rome was Pope Alexander III 6:56 The Peace of Venice in 1177 is the same peace we talked about in the Guelphs vs Ghibellines video, as it was this treaty that gave the Italian city states their autonomy. This peace treaty was very big and there's a lot it talked about. 7:12 Conrad in the mean time got to be the Bishop of Salzburg. 7:25 Ludwig III divided the control of Thuringia with his brother, Konrad, so he wasn't an "absolute" ruler of the dutchy but he did hold the main title of the Duke of Thuringia so his brother was "technically" subordinate to him and they did seem to over all work together. 7:50 HRE didn't mint single coinage for the empire, instead various principalities were given the "right of coinage" by the Emperor which meant they could mint and regulate their own coins. Initially this right was given to only ecclesiastical principalities but by the 11th century secular principalities started to get the right as well and later even individual cities. The whole coinage system in the HRE is kind of a mess to understand but when you consider most people never left their home towns the existence of many different coins did not effect these people as much as we might think. 8:56 There is a whole political reason why Fredrik had the Diet of Pentecost in Mainz specifically. It was a power move to show Conrad that he is the Emperor and that he should not pull any kind of disloyal acts, like he did before with the Anti-Pope. 9:05 Interestingly the Emperor and his two sons participated in the riding events and the whole diet was cut short when a storm destroyed the wooden church specifically constructed for the occasion. 9:25 So the HRE was constituted of multiple kingdoms in the high middle ages. Hence it was an empire because it had kingdoms within it. The title of the King of Germany (or the King of the Germans) was the main and most important kingly title in the HRE and therefore it was almost always held by the Emperor or his successors. The title of the "King of the Romans" was created by the Kings of Germany to showcase that they in fact weren't just the Kings of the Germans but also the Kings of the Romans. This way they wanted to symbolize that they are the King of the Romans whether they are crowned by the pope as the Holy Roman Emperor or not. The King of the Romans title was basically made purely due to the dispute between the Pope and the Emperors which technically where sometimes just the King of the Romans as the pope sometimes refused to crown them as an Emperor. Think of the title of the King of Germany as basically the ruler of HRE who still holds power over the country just does not always have the title of an Emperor and therefore holds the consolation title of the King of Romans instead. However, sometimes rulers would hold all three titles at ones, sometimes just one title and they gave the other titles to their kids, etc. Hopefully this short explanation made at least some sense of this very complicated mess of royal titles. 9:40 Basically Ludwig supported the Abbot of Fulda (who was also his vassal or friend or had some kind of loyalty to Ludwig, I am not really sure) to sit on the left side of the Emperor during the diet. This was basically a power move to have "your Abbot" sit near the Emperor while Conrad of Mainz isn't. However, this right (of sitting on the left side of the emperor) was usually reserved to the Archbishop of Cologne who threatened to leave so Ludwig had to deescalate the situation. This whole thing immensely annoyed Conrad because he was in charge of the events smooth procession. 12:25 Ok so it cannot "kill" you in just one breath per se but it can make you unconscious in just one breath in high concentration which means you then die of suffocation since you can't get away from the area were you took the first breath of H2S. Also you can drown since you know you're unconscious. 13:35 This is Henry (VII) Hohenstaufen not to be confused with Henry the VII Luxemburg.

To be honest I love the strange topics you choose for your videos because they’re topics not usually covered so imo you learn more in a topic not covered as much

When we look nowadays at medieval architecture thinking how sturdy it is, that it has remained for centuries, it's only because those not so sturdy pieces collapsed.

I recall once reading the Wikipedia article about this and getting a major 'bruh' moment out of it. Good to know the context. Great video!

He can’t do that! Only the pope can appoint an emperor!

I absolutely love your channel mate, before I discovered you I didn't particularly care for medieval history. But you sparked a real interest, and now I'm writing my first uni paper on the wendish crusade!

I guess you could say the nobles who fell were having a... “shitty day”. The nobles that fell and drowned... “ate shit” when they hit the cesspool. King Henry must’ve been pretty horrified. He saw some... “bad shit”. One day, a noble was talking with another noble about the collapsing floor at Erfurt. When hearing how the nobles in attendance drowned in poop from the first noble, the other noble merely shrugged and said: “Shit happens.” Puns aside, this was a great video! The HRE and Middle Ages are very unknown to most people, so it was cool to take a deep look into a small conflict of this huge and divided empire. Looking forward to seeing more videos!

Came for the poop. Stayed for the history.

1:50 I think you meant "the Fowler", not "the Flower", but it's quite a hillarious mistake tbh xD

Your videos? Not being interesting? I don't understand those people.

This sounds like something straight from CK2

Your videos are always very well researched and detailed, I love them!

You have to admit, they can't say its not interesting now

Shit happens

I know you've been sad that YT isn't promoting your videos as heavily, but I wanted to let you know that this was a very good video and I hope you aren't too disgruntled

I love your style of video. Don't be pressured to change! And your topics too. Nobody else is going to make such little known topics in such an entertaining way. You'll grow!

This feels like ck3. I guess that just points to how realistic CK3 can be

taking 'eat shit" to a whole differrent level

You’re one of my favorite history channels.

Can’t believe how well researched this was! How can it not be monetized?!! Thank you for this video!

A fitting metaphor for the HRE itself

You're the only history channel that went in depth in the history and internal structure of the Hansa, you're TOP on my list!

You are underrated man KZfaq needs to push your videos

You're vids are top notch man, YT is just a cesspool

I love your topic choice and content style. Don’t listen to the haters and give into pop history. Keep making what you want to make and I’ll keep on watching

Yet again I had to manually check your channel for new videos, just to find there had been an upload that I hadn't been notified about 😒 at least I caught it early this time Idk what you did but someone at KZfaq must really not like you, bc I'm subscribed, I have the bell checked to all and all that, and youtube still refuses to notify me when you upload Anyways, keep up the great work as always, also, I like the more obscure topics, like the Hansa, Early Slavic History or the break up of Austria-Hungary, if you enjoy making them I'd encourage you to continue, you definitely are filling a niche with them :)

Love that you actually went into the sources and checked the wording to make it more accurate, as well as not spreading the numbers as if they are a sure fact, but noting that it is guesswork. Great topic as well in general, love the whole political intrigue and system in feudal Europe, always interesting.

Great video,keep it up!🟢🟡🟢🟡🟢🟡🟡

Tbh I still like your videos no matter how "uninteresting" they are, its pretty interesting to me

excellent presentation

This is so weird and I love it

for what it's worth I loved the beer history and other videos

I love your videos in particular the one about West-Slavs. Greetongs from Poland :)

Medieval Europe; what a soap opera...can you imagine the soap opera...

Think of this from the perspective of Crusader Kings (either 2 or 3), this makes certain "noble culling" by players a bit more believable

So that is how you cheat the youtube algorithm. A poop video. Thanks for the idea 👍

Your videos point to history often labeled as " uninteresting " while it's simply not true. Hanseatic league merchant was extraordinate, and fresh in comparison to other history videos. There is no " uninteresting " history, and you can show that well. All of the topics in history are valid, but the " popular " ones are events highlighted in education. I could describe it as pophistory, it's not about how influential or how funny or how interesting the event is, but how popular it is in first place. While you highlight niche history. I love the topics you pick, they bring curiosity to things that i could have missed. I appreciate your work and i wish you best luck

Glad to see the vid! (I got notif for this btw)

It is November and I am getting these xmas adds, Milka and KitKat ads for a poop video LMAO

*M-M-M-Monsterkill*

Beautiful title

Hi M. Laser, have you seen SunnyV2s video on how KZfaq promotes videos?

The famous High Culture of Discussion in Eastern Europe.. .

How much does a king have to bathe to wash off this embarrassment?

when politicians found the definite solution.

I love your videos!

Truth be told, YT really is screwing with the algorithm. I've subscribed years ago, and I've yet to seen your channel pop up on my main YT page once.

Omg, only 8000 views?! I thought this was posted today, God bless sir.

Interesting video. Your effort is appreciated. By the way, I am very interested in knowing what your picture is displaying. A coat of arms? A sigil of some kind?

Can you do a video about Croatia?

The meeting was headed towards "the shitter" 😅

Thank good not a video about the siege of constantinopel again. I watched already 4 of those lol. Like your original content!

I can't stop thinking about how many times did yoy said "Archbishopric" and how I don't think I have ever heard that word aloud, despite having seen it written all over.

That voice change at the start 😂

Amazing

Bro why is this video doing so badly? Interesting topic and it's well executed like always.

yea, that sounds like something that would happen in Erfurt.

Man imagine studying so much law just to die by drowning in shit

The topics might not be conventionally interesting, but there's tons of other channels that cover those. It's up to you if you want to change into a more conventional history channel or keep covering more niche topics. Both certainly have an audience.

Nice job.

brilliant

Erfurt? More like Er Furtzt ha!

I'm too lazy to read your com post, but having not logged in to Google for a month I found your channel in the 13-15% channels that have been left without a recent activity marker despite posting new videos in that period. I'm really sad that this is happening to you so this is a comment for the algorithm.

Could you do a video about early history of Croats?

You could make a video about the Peasants' Republic of Dithmarschen :)

good topic.

"Everyone is always related..." Did someone say Habsburg?

"Oh, s**t, holy crap".

I can't believe people say your video are not intresting and boring

etc. (RIP)

The story leading up to the great drowning are quite usable for a D&D campaign.

This should be a murder plot in Crusader Kings 3. Weaken the floorboards so the target dies in a pile of excrement.

hello from a man that lives in Erfurt🤗

Scold me with your passive aggressive ness 😫😲😄

This one should be good.

Oversimplified mentioned respect

Wow... now let's build a cesspool under the parliament! Twil solve all of our problems :D

R U kidding! Its the TOPICS that draw me to them. Coomonplace I can look at everywhere. Keep the remarkable & INTERESTING TOPICS coming.

Subscribed to your channel purely based off a recommendation from Oversimplified. I feel it entirely appropriate that a history channel got my approval purely because of nepotism and the approval of another leader whose motives I have no understanding of or care to know.

Wow the German "caviar" Fandom has deep roots! 😳

Interesting

Well Scheiße.

What a shitty death!

clicked on your video by chance, and the intro about your videos not being pushed i found interesting.. remember youtube is highly controlled and whether you like to believe it or not stuff like history and content creators is controlled as well.. what i'm getting at, you were probably being censored and when questioned it they answered in the comments with "must be topic".. right.. i bet they do not like the fact how large your channel is and is still "uncontrolled". ride on brother

Did this incident change building practices?

for me, all the topics you discuss are interesting :(

I'm sorry what?

Coool

I just started learing about the HRE and this shit is just mind-blowing .... i like to call this "lors of the rings on stereoids" LOL Anyway great video , verry funny , obsure and informative

My family weird HRE history creeps closer

This has to be one of the worst ways to die. It's not even kinda cool like getting blown up in war or dying in a high speed car crash, it's just completely undignified. Everyone who hears how you died can't help but chuckle, because you literally drowned in shit, like that is just an L on cosmic proportions.

Even worse than death by dumpster fire.

I guess you could say the meeting went to the shitter....Especially after everyone else got into deep shit...

how at 13.51

In other words, not a good idea to put the septic tank under the house (or burry people under the floor), they emit gasses and stuff that is not safe to breathe. A rather long and politically detailed explanation for a medieval floor failure with too many people standing around.

I wonder if this was an assination attempt by bishop of mainz rather than an accident. It sounds very convenient that the bishop and king of Germany just happened to be safe.

And a shitty way to go…..

Those mooks will honestly never understand how interesting Austria-Hungary and the Habsburg monarchy was. We are just patricians, and that means by definition that we’ll always be the lucky few

Knowing how people are I just know that everybody shit on them for dying like that

It's Henry the Fowler, not Henry the Flower 😅
