The Ghastly Truth About Life in the Middle Ages | SHOWTIME

[DataLal]

The last part with the poor Earl of Oxford and his flatulence just made me laugh so hard I had tears in my eyes! XD

[anakangeek]

i wish they would make more of those those are interesting

[ivanlagrossemoule]

I once heard of a story of someone being boiled alive. When he was put in the water he said it was cold, and the guy who had sentenced him to it put his hand in the water to see if it was really cold and got burned. Don't know if it's true but if anyone could find some info on it, it would be nice. I think it was in some muslim country at the time but not sure at all.

Lol about the farting. The should have called them the tooters...hahaha

[xabamsar]

Sometimes I get so embarrassed I want to go into exile too

[SaraWilsonBasturk]

This title is incorrect. The Tudors didn't reign in the Middle Ages.

[cimoirine]

LOL!!!! "Awww I hate myself!"

[Patrick]

The Tudors weren't the middle ages it was the Renaissance.

[Reyna]

alguien podria decirme lo k dice el video??? no hablo ingles

[Ambicatus]

Not the Middle Ages, technically, but close enough.

[ElizaKW]

@ElizaKW And also, as far as this video is concerned. The Earl of Oxford certainly did not exile himself for seven years because he accidentally farted in the Queen's presence. That's total bullshit.

[Aleksei]

haha the soccer match makes perfect since haha

[Verfallsdatum]

The thing about football doesn't seem so different from today.

[eggbertsmith]

your mom learned about this....in school.

[redrudra]

Tudor England is not the Middle Ages (1066 - 1485 ) Henry the VIII ruled 1509 to 1547.

[fromaworldcorrupted]

i know, thats what i thought. the whole thing just didnt seem right. i guess it could be considered late middle ages though. C16th saw the end of the middle ages.

[shahbanu-amestris]

The 16th century ain't in the Middle Ages.

[Zamolxes]

@scarletteember Modern scholars theorize the gas was so serious it shifted planet's poles ;)

[Existantia]

Really? WOW!! Where did you read that?? So funny! You never read about that in the history books!

[ElizaKW]

@MrThomasKeep Yes, Tudor England is the Renaissance, and Showtime is mistaken about that.... but seriously. Look at the whole series. Not exactly historically accurate in the least. It's probably one of the worst portrayals of Henry VIII's life that I've ever seen put on film or television.
