For a medieval women approaching the moment of labour and birth, there were no antiseptics to ward off infection or anaesthetics to deal with pain. Historian…

I can’t help but to believe that medieval Europe would have been better off
if they had remained pagan rather than be converted to Christianity.
Very interesting.
17:27 “…at least wine was involved.” LOL
Fascinating! Thanks for posting this.
The concept of sin .
At first I was first wondering why, if it’s such a nuisance and
inconvenience to give birth, women became pregnant so often in the first
place, and then I remembered that they had no choice in it as it was their
obligation to pop out babies left and right for their lusty husbands so
they could have male heirs and a large, sound gene pool to indulge his ego.
I think, one doesn’t have to agree or disagree with the content of this
video to find it informative of Medieval life, birth, marriage and death.
Blaming Eve is always funny – god told adam not to eat the fruit before eve
was created. therefore she didn’t have firsthand knowledge of it being
forbidden – she was punished for being deceived. even god blamed adam, not
eve. Gen. 3:17 :3
1 Tim. 2:14, 2 Cor. 11:3
love the emphasis on saints during this time, it’s so… polytheist!
excellent doc!
The Scientific Revolution … was more than a century away?
When it comes to birth actually several ones. Semmelweiss noted in XIXth C.
that it was safer to be delivered by midwives than by doctors – because the
latter came from obductions.
His try to make it safer to be delivered by a physician led him to
captivity and premature death (by an infected wound) in the Mental Hospital
of Steinhof.
Behold how this wanton she-wolf doth besmerch herself with unGodly
vulgarities.. 17.13 had me writhing in shame for her whilst battling a
fainting spell with my saintly smelling salts.
About the relics stolen at Reformation.
“Rumour had it they were still working miracles in storage”
I suppose the Reformation stopped much of the formal process of
documentation of miracles. As already said, they were miracle haters and
miracle deniers.
That film observe the Medieval by system of present values. It’s original,
classical, modern, western, stupid arrogance. If we want to think about
that Great Age, we must understand his purposes, his mentality, his
immanent sense of his Age, his dreams in the end.
“It was the only time a woman could ever administer a sacrament”
Not so. A woman is always a layman, never a priest. But two sacraments need
no priests to be administered: baptism and marriage.
A solemn baptism you have had time to prepare is administered by at least a
deacon. In an emergency (threat of very early death by midwives, as you
mention, but also others, like prolonged isolation from the Church, threat
of being martyred before getting baptism and so on) laymen can and should
baptise.
Marriage is ONLY administred as a sacrament by laymen and always by two of
them, one of each sex.
Sacramental marriage takes place when two baptised persons of obviously
opposite sex licitly marry each other, and the constituent acts are first
of all the “I do” and then the consummation of it. In Church the priest
gives a blessing, which is not a sacrament itself but a sacramental annexed
to marriage.
Note that this is the Roman Catholic understanding, you can read it up well
before Trent in St Thomas Aquinas (whose handwriting was of same ductus as
the Paston family’s or even a bit more quick and simplified, but there are
printed versions as well). Greek Orthodox disagree and say the marriage
sacrament is the blessing of the priest.
Leave it to religion to steal the most wonderful parts of being human from
the individual, to contort the beauty of humanity into something dirty or
evil so that the religion could wield those things as weapons to control
societies. So glad the Internet is allowing people to check their beliefs
using objective sources rather than them having to rely for information on
clergy, the very people pushing the mind-numbing drug of faith. Surveys
have shown people are leaving religion in droves now that they can use the
Internet in the privacy of their homes to check their beliefs and see how
they’ve been lied to and brainwashed by the clergy and religion. It’s too
late for those who lived in the past, but at least future generations will
be spared the influence of such brain rot and superstition.
All history…
The only functioning birth are the vertical birth and the under water
birth. Check out Dr. Frederick Leboyer. Birth in warm water standing up.
Why in the world is she touching those documents w/o gloves!?!
Very intriguing and captivating. Thank oh for sharing Steve D
A very nice piece of work, much better than She Wolves. I found it
informative on the past and also the thinking of todays women and how they
view history. Not quite apolitical but much better than She Wolves in that
I never felt like I was getting a heavy dose of feminism forced down my
throat. The information was presented and I was allowed to draw my own
conclusions. In a completely unrelated way a good argument against letting
foreigners move into your country and impose their religious laws that
would take women back to such dark and dangerous days.
I would have gone with the Elizabeth I route and just never gotten
pregnant. The horror of pregnancy in those days is too much for me lol.
Henry Rex!
Notice the use of “cunt” in a medical book? Cunt was not an insulting word,
same as “fuck” they were common language until the prudish Victorians came
along.
For someone else eating a stinking fruit, getting your vagina ripped apart
is a pretty unfair price to pay. Benevolent and just my ass.
Had not the Medieval clergy had such authority over what man did and
thought, we would have gone to the moon by 1600.
As someone who would have died in childbirth, after a perfectly normal
pregnancy, I can only say I am enormously thankful for medical advancement,
and C-sections, in particular. As is my son, who no doubt would have died
as well. It’s a sobering thought, I’m so lucky to have been born in the
right century, so sad for all of those women who didn’t.
Can someone tell me what they’re talking about at 32:50? The black
material? I’d never heard of it..sounds like they’re saying “Jet” or Ject”
??
Angelina Jolie.. Is that you ?
Wow this is so beautiful! Love it! #femmevisibility
