00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:34,480
Horrible Histories
2
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,560
Horrible Histories presents Crooked King
John and Magna Carta
3
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:49,440
You don't hear many nice things said
about King John the Third
4
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:55,360
Some people would go further and
proclaim him as the worst For John was
5
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,660
much -loved king, in France he lost a
war Annoyed the Pope, but then gave in
6
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:06,200
lost to France once more He lived a life
of luxury, that's what his tax was for.
7
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,120
And when he spent their income fee, he
taxed his barons more.
8
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,480
So why is King John's reign defined as a
most special thing?
9
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:18,760
Because the Magna Carta shined when he
was England's king.
10
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:26,220
King John, the story of a family at war
and a future king born in the shadow of
11
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:28,240
his older brother, Richard the
Lionheart.
12
00:01:29,020 --> 00:01:30,280
You'll never be king.
13
00:01:30,660 --> 00:01:31,980
You'll never be king.
14
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:33,320
No, please.
15
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,020
Ridiculed by his father.
16
00:01:39,380 --> 00:01:42,480
Maybe we should call you John Lackland.
Get it?
17
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:44,960
Lackland. Because you lack land.
18
00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:47,800
So it is funny, Dad.
19
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,840
A story of power and betrayal.
20
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,360
It might be a runty little piece of
cake, but at least...
21
00:01:56,780 --> 00:01:59,300
He would not turn on his own father.
22
00:01:59,540 --> 00:02:02,880
Yeah, the thing is, Dad, I'm sort of
sliding with the French and rebelling
23
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:03,880
against you.
24
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,580
John, what have you done?
25
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,100
Mom, Dad's dead. Can I be king?
26
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,360
No, it's your brother Richard, George.
27
00:02:13,580 --> 00:02:14,580
How unfair!
28
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,020
A boy desperate to be king, but thwarted
by his elder brother.
29
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:25,660
I gave him land in France on the
condition that he stayed out of England
30
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:26,660
I'm on crusade.
31
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:28,000
God willed it.
32
00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:29,660
God willed it. And did he?
33
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:30,900
No.
34
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Sneaked back into England and started a
full -scale rebellion.
35
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,900
Two brothers at war, but stuck with each
other in more ways than one.
36
00:02:39,220 --> 00:02:41,820
He's a cheating, scheming, spineless
idiot.
37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,380
Oui, but he is our cheating, scheming,
spineless idiot.
38
00:02:45,860 --> 00:02:46,860
Where is he?
39
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:47,980
Now. Hmm?
40
00:02:49,070 --> 00:02:51,730
I'm really sorry, Richard. It won't
happen again. I'll do anything.
41
00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:53,810
So lucky he'll never be king.
42
00:02:57,030 --> 00:03:00,970
King John, coming to a stream near you
now.
43
00:03:03,690 --> 00:03:07,730
With Richard, King John couldn't win no
matter how he tried.
44
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:13,710
But then some good luck came John's way.
Brave Richard sadly died. A crisis of
45
00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:16,550
succession bruised the barons must
choose who.
46
00:03:16,770 --> 00:03:20,830
A 12 -year -old with French support or
John, they said. He'll do.
47
00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:27,710
You join us here at Westminster Avenue,
1199. Yes, he finally made it. It's the
48
00:03:27,710 --> 00:03:32,130
long -awaited coronation of King John.
An occasion of true dignity and
49
00:03:32,130 --> 00:03:38,770
solemnity. And as the Archbishop of
Canterbury approaches, John appears to
50
00:03:38,770 --> 00:03:41,530
taking off his tunic and his
undergarments.
51
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:43,950
Sorry, can I just check something? Am I
in the right place?
52
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:45,670
Coronation of King John.
53
00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:48,190
It's just that he's getting almost
completely naked.
54
00:03:49,450 --> 00:03:50,710
They always did that.
55
00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:52,250
Okay. Weird.
56
00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:56,930
The new king emerges in some sort of
nappy.
57
00:03:58,350 --> 00:04:00,690
But doesn't he look magnificent?
58
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,740
as he finally dons the crown.
59
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,180
And, oh, the struggle's a bit big.
60
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,100
To be fair, it's made of solid gold.
61
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:12,160
And it's been a long day for everyone.
62
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,860
Yet, King John, the man who will shape
the nation.
63
00:04:18,019 --> 00:04:19,459
As soon as he gets up.
64
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Get me out of here.
65
00:04:21,580 --> 00:04:25,760
Yes, when Richard the Lionheart died,
John finally got his heart's desire and
66
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,760
became king.
67
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,740
He immediately started travelling around
the country, doing what he did best,
68
00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:32,780
being a right royal pain in the neck.
69
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:39,950
Hi, I'm King John. I'm an itinerant
monarch. That means I travel around the
70
00:04:39,950 --> 00:04:43,170
country, ruling from wherever I happen
to be at the time. Being on the road
71
00:04:43,170 --> 00:04:47,110
means I've had to learn to survive in
some pretty extreme circumstances.
72
00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:51,270
And I'm going to show you how. Here are
the basics for extreme survival.
73
00:04:51,550 --> 00:04:53,250
Extreme survival tip one.
74
00:04:53,930 --> 00:04:57,430
Shelter. You're out in the wilds of
England. Miles from home, you need
75
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,310
to sleep. Look around you.
76
00:04:59,770 --> 00:05:04,030
What do you see? Moss, leaves, grass,
nature's sheets and blankets.
77
00:05:04,290 --> 00:05:08,030
What I like to use is actual sheets and
blankets. That's why when I'm
78
00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:11,210
travelling, I bring loads of servants
with me to carry all my bedding.
79
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:13,250
And my bed! But wait.
80
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:14,790
What if it rains?
81
00:05:14,990 --> 00:05:16,670
Look around you. What do you see?
82
00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:20,650
Trees and bushes can provide an
effective shield against the elements.
83
00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:24,890
But what I like to do is send the
soldiers I've brought with me to take
84
00:05:24,890 --> 00:05:25,890
nearest castle.
85
00:05:27,510 --> 00:05:28,690
Then I can sleep there.
86
00:05:29,180 --> 00:05:30,480
That's extreme survival.
87
00:05:33,380 --> 00:05:34,680
You're going to need to bring that.
88
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Extreme survival tip two.
89
00:05:38,780 --> 00:05:39,780
Health.
90
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Keeping clean out in the wild can be
tough, especially when, like me, you're
91
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,780
used to having a bath nearly twice a
month.
92
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,500
But where are you going to find a bath
out here on the open road? Look around
93
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:51,120
you. What do you see?
94
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:52,740
Fresh running water.
95
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,300
It's nature's bathtub.
96
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:57,220
But this is my actual bathtub.
97
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,640
It's much nicer and it goes everywhere I
go.
98
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:01,100
My toilet comes too.
99
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,740
Next week on King John's Survival Tips,
travelling abroad and how to avoid
100
00:06:07,740 --> 00:06:11,320
seasickness with nothing but two
servants to hold your head still. I'm
101
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,840
go. I'm going to be sick.
102
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:14,460
I'm going.
103
00:06:16,900 --> 00:06:21,140
When John was a young man busy annoying
people, over the other side of the
104
00:06:21,140 --> 00:06:25,560
world, knights and soldiers were busy
killing people in the Crusades.
105
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,820
fighting over who owned the Holy Land.
106
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,000
But Saladin, the leader of the Muslim
forces, was a clever, well -respected
107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,820
ruler and a great warrior.
108
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,100
So, nothing like John then.
109
00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:42,360
The Crusaders are headed for Jerusalem,
but we can deal with them here by the
110
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,360
horns of Hattin.
111
00:06:43,420 --> 00:06:44,420
Kill them!
112
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:45,460
Kill them all!
113
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:49,240
Patience, my friends. We must be
cleverer than that.
114
00:06:49,690 --> 00:06:54,130
We can attack them in a different way.
We're in a desert. So ask yourself, what
115
00:06:54,130 --> 00:06:55,290
do they need? A good kicking.
116
00:06:55,710 --> 00:07:01,050
No, no, no. A sword through their
skulls. Kill them all. No, no, no, no,
117
00:07:01,770 --> 00:07:07,130
Think about it. Think about it. What
must they do every day in the desert?
118
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,760
No, no, no, not that. Put it this way.
What must we all do? What must we all do
119
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,840
every day to survive?
120
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,659
Go toilet?
121
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:24,800
Other end. Other end. Brush their teeth.
What is this? What is this?
122
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Water!
123
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,640
Water! Water!
124
00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:31,620
I totally drink water every day. So,
what must we do?
125
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,600
Kill him!
126
00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:37,720
No, no, no. Go back.
127
00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:40,110
To the water. Think water. Drown them.
128
00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:41,330
Drown them all.
129
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:45,130
How am I supposed to drown them? In the
paddling pool I keep on my camel?
130
00:07:45,630 --> 00:07:50,050
You can drown in as little as one inch
of water. Oh, thanks for that. That's
131
00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:51,050
really helpful.
132
00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:53,670
What happens in a desert if you don't
drink your water?
133
00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:56,370
They have nothing to wash their salad
in.
134
00:07:56,770 --> 00:07:59,110
Saladin. It's called salad in.
135
00:07:59,810 --> 00:08:03,570
What happens in a desert if you do not
drink the water?
136
00:08:04,830 --> 00:08:06,170
They get thirsty.
137
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,100
And what happens if you still don't
drink the water?
138
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,480
You get bad skin.
139
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,580
No choppy lips. No patatage, okay? What
happens next?
140
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,200
You die.
141
00:08:16,220 --> 00:08:20,080
Yeah! Boom! One point to idiot number
two. Well done.
142
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,880
Where do they need to go to get their
water?
143
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,820
Begins with a W, ends in an L.
144
00:08:26,340 --> 00:08:27,340
Wall.
145
00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:29,340
Rhymes with bell.
146
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,760
Cello.
147
00:08:31,540 --> 00:08:32,539
Well.
148
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:36,940
Yeah!
149
00:08:40,010 --> 00:08:44,350
So we go to the well. We block their
access. They cannot drink any water.
150
00:08:44,350 --> 00:08:47,750
get weaker and weaker until they can
barely stand.
151
00:08:48,030 --> 00:08:49,350
They're about to die.
152
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:53,730
And then we can finally... Kill them
all! Kill them all!
153
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:55,050
Kill them all!
154
00:08:55,490 --> 00:08:58,750
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can
we just run through it one more time?
155
00:09:01,070 --> 00:09:03,570
We go to the well.
156
00:09:06,130 --> 00:09:07,270
The well is this way.
157
00:09:09,610 --> 00:09:13,870
Saladin was clever, cunning in battle,
but was also fair to his enemies.
158
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:18,390
He once agreed to stop attacking a
castle because there was a royal wedding
159
00:09:18,390 --> 00:09:19,390
going on.
160
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:22,710
No, Saladin didn't. Yes, Saladin did.
161
00:09:23,550 --> 00:09:27,750
But not everyone in the Crusades was as
civilised as Saladin, especially not the
162
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:32,550
French knight, Renaud de Chatillon. He
was so nasty, he must have thought they
163
00:09:32,550 --> 00:09:36,390
were called the Cruel Saves. Eh? The
Cruel Saves!
164
00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:39,010
Definitely one of history's...
165
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,300
craziest fools.
166
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,440
Ha!
167
00:09:47,140 --> 00:09:52,560
I'm Mr. H, and I've seen your history
there. It's a rich tapestry of
168
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:55,740
people doing brave and wonderful things.
169
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,260
But I ain't here to talk about them!
170
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:05,840
Now, I like to visit places, see stuff,
and meet people. But in the Middle Ages,
171
00:10:06,020 --> 00:10:08,000
people liked to visit places.
172
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:10,740
steal stuff and kill people.
173
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:13,880
If that ain't crazy, I don't know what
is.
174
00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:19,460
Meet Reynolds of Chathion. He was a
gnat, yeah, who fought in the Crusades
175
00:10:19,460 --> 00:10:23,380
King John's brother Richard the
Lionheart and ended up staying in the
176
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:30,120
This guy was bigoted, insensitive,
violent, greedy and brute. And those
177
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,040
good points. He used to put boxes on the
heads of prisoners.
178
00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:06,020
So her father's a colonel and her
mother's in the WI.
179
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,600
I know.
180
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,080
Right, when I was a prince, I was top
-notch ruling practice.
181
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:18,840
I mean, lord of Ireland. What was the
funniest thing about that job?
182
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,360
What is it?
183
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,800
A. The Irish lords walked around naked.
B.
184
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:30,160
The Irish lords had funny beards. Or C.
185
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,200
The Irish lords dressed like women.
186
00:11:35,140 --> 00:11:36,140
B.
187
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:41,540
Of course it's me. The Irish lords had
funny beards. I had so much trouble
188
00:11:41,540 --> 00:11:44,980
pulling their beards, they didn't like
it. I don't know why. No sense of humor.
189
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:46,720
Funny guy.
190
00:11:48,420 --> 00:11:49,560
Yeah, hilarious.
191
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,480
King John lived a life of privilege and
luxury, but medieval life for ordinary
192
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,960
people like me wasn't always that
comfortable. In fact, it could be pretty
193
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,960
smelly.
194
00:12:25,550 --> 00:12:27,510
Wipe your bum, sir. What? Will I?
195
00:12:27,970 --> 00:12:29,790
Wipe your bum, sir. Er, no.
196
00:12:30,090 --> 00:12:31,490
No, I'm fine, thanks.
197
00:12:31,830 --> 00:12:34,150
Oh, come, sir. This is the Middle Ages.
198
00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:37,930
A fine gentleman like yourself can't be
seen to wipe his own bum now, can he?
199
00:12:38,230 --> 00:12:42,430
All right, it's all here in the Book of
Civilised Man by esteemed poet Daniel of
200
00:12:42,430 --> 00:12:43,430
Beckles.
201
00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:47,720
If you wish to belch, always look up at
the ceiling.
202
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:54,060
Wait, you can stick that hay where the
sun don't shine.
203
00:12:54,420 --> 00:12:56,420
That's what I was going to do, sir.
Please!
204
00:12:57,420 --> 00:12:58,420
All right.
205
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,100
I don't want your money.
206
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,780
No, I want your poo.
207
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,100
What? It's been such a cold winter,
we've been burning poo to keep warm.
208
00:13:11,860 --> 00:13:12,860
Warm?
209
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,500
Ready when you are, sir. Just one log
for the fire.
210
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:25,640
All right.
211
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,920
Well, that's dinner sorted.
212
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,840
You might think burning poo to keep warm
is pretty bad.
213
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:38,240
Because it is.
214
00:13:38,580 --> 00:13:43,460
But across the globe, a ferocious leader
was making life for people even worse.
215
00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:45,280
in Mongolia.
216
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,960
Hello, I'm Geoff Reason, and welcome to
Battle of the Day, coming live from 13th
217
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,520
century Mongolia, as we focus on the
scourge of the world. No, not the
218
00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,400
disastrous King John in England, but the
strong wolf himself, Genghis Khan.
219
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,300
With me, providing expert analysis and
plenty of gory details, is Jamie Castle.
220
00:14:07,540 --> 00:14:11,520
Jamie, Genghis has a pretty terrible
reputation, but come on.
221
00:14:11,820 --> 00:14:12,860
Is he really that ruthless?
222
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:18,000
During his life, Genghis Khan turned
most of Asia into a bloodbath. What kind
223
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,320
soap would you use in a bloodbath?
224
00:14:19,540 --> 00:14:20,800
It's not a real bath, Jeff.
225
00:14:21,380 --> 00:14:25,280
And even if it was, Genghis has made
washing punishable by death.
226
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,380
Hold your noses. We're about to hear
from the mighty Mongol himself.
227
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,220
Genghis, we're off to do battle with the
Chinese today. What do you say to
228
00:14:32,220 --> 00:14:33,740
accusations that you fight dirty?
229
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:35,319
It's true.
230
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,320
I do.
231
00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:38,140
There is no honour in war.
232
00:14:38,540 --> 00:14:40,720
Only victory or defeats.
233
00:14:41,550 --> 00:14:43,230
I'm not sure that I agree with you
there.
234
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:45,670
Then I'll kill you!
235
00:14:46,950 --> 00:14:47,950
Thanks,
236
00:14:50,490 --> 00:14:51,610
lads. See you later.
237
00:14:52,210 --> 00:14:57,470
We're about to go to Chris' stake armour
at the Bridge of Human Bodies. Chris?
238
00:14:58,130 --> 00:15:02,730
Genghis arrives, sees the moat around
the enemy's fortress and orders all his
239
00:15:02,730 --> 00:15:08,410
prisoners to rush into the water until
their bodies pile up like a bridge. A
240
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:09,410
human bridge!
241
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,900
allowing his army to march right across.
242
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:15,660
I've never seen anything like it, Jeff.
243
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,100
Ugly, but weirdly effective.
244
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,180
Good luck, you, Chris.
245
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:22,640
Oh, you're really mature.
246
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Oh, yeah, I'm in a Mongol horn.
247
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,260
Look at me, bullying everyone.
248
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,340
And here's a victorious man who couldn't
agree with you more.
249
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,880
Genghis, you've conquered anyone and
everyone you could find. One of the most
250
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,360
brutal warriors in history. It's quite a
legacy.
251
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:41,539
Hang on.
252
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:43,080
How about my religious tolerance?
253
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,720
Or the fact that I outlawed kidnapping
women, stealing animals, and enslaving
254
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,680
other Mongols. And all you want to do is
talk about wars and killing?
255
00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:53,640
But you have killed quite a lot of
people.
256
00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:55,379
Fair point.
257
00:15:55,380 --> 00:15:59,000
40 million, here. 40 million?
258
00:15:59,340 --> 00:16:00,760
In the 13th century?
259
00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:04,150
That's nearly 11 % of the world's entire
population.
260
00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:09,090
Great for the environment, though,
Geoff. Dead people don't produce CO2,
261
00:16:09,090 --> 00:16:10,630
or chopped down trees.
262
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:14,430
He really deserves to be remembered as
one of the most environmentally friendly
263
00:16:14,430 --> 00:16:15,530
rulers of all time.
264
00:16:18,230 --> 00:16:19,230
Methane.
265
00:16:24,170 --> 00:16:27,710
While Genghis Khan was conquering half
the known world, back in England, things
266
00:16:27,710 --> 00:16:29,330
weren't going well for King John.
267
00:16:29,630 --> 00:16:33,530
But instead of being nice and trying to
make more friends, he just kept winding
268
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:35,610
everyone up and being really, really
annoying.
269
00:16:40,930 --> 00:16:44,610
This is John. He's the King of England.
He's got a lot of expensive gear to
270
00:16:44,610 --> 00:16:45,429
shell out for.
271
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:47,390
Walls, fleets, castles and the like.
272
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:49,050
Bad news, he skips.
273
00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:51,150
Good news, he's also the King of Khans.
274
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:52,390
Let's see him do the business.
275
00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:55,890
My leave.
276
00:16:56,350 --> 00:16:57,770
The dodgy war con.
277
00:16:58,150 --> 00:16:59,150
Brought by troops.
278
00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:01,730
When do we set sail for war on France?
279
00:17:02,130 --> 00:17:03,810
Yeah, really soon.
280
00:17:04,010 --> 00:17:05,569
Have you got the cash?
281
00:17:07,190 --> 00:17:08,190
Hang on.
282
00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:11,670
You're not going to do that thing again
where you pretend there's a war on and
283
00:17:11,670 --> 00:17:15,150
we give you a load of money to help
fight it and it turns out there wasn't a
284
00:17:15,150 --> 00:17:16,150
and you just wanted the money.
285
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:18,270
Good.
286
00:17:22,849 --> 00:17:23,849
Come on.
287
00:17:24,090 --> 00:17:25,329
Here you go. Okay.
288
00:17:25,910 --> 00:17:27,730
Gosh, he's just been had.
289
00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:31,170
Thanks. Um, actually, I think we will
end the war.
290
00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:32,590
Thanks for your support, though.
291
00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:39,450
Oh! I can't believe you got me again.
292
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:42,430
To be fair, he does it the whole time,
you know.
293
00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:44,550
And we have no choice but to give him
what he asks.
294
00:17:45,070 --> 00:17:48,190
It's bad enough that he lost all our
land in France. Now he's nicking our
295
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:50,610
Wife's going to be livid.
296
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:51,950
See you, guys.
297
00:17:53,189 --> 00:17:57,110
Who's this king, sir? It's our scammer
King John again. We call this one the
298
00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:58,570
Lackland Churchland, Con.
299
00:17:58,950 --> 00:18:00,930
Sorry, are you the bishop?
300
00:18:03,030 --> 00:18:04,030
Yes, sir. Good.
301
00:18:04,230 --> 00:18:07,210
Right, because I'm a king, and I'm
confiscating all your land.
302
00:18:08,390 --> 00:18:11,210
Right. Okay, don't tell me you're going
to sell them back to me.
303
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:12,430
Not even close.
304
00:18:13,230 --> 00:18:14,510
I'm going to sell them back to you.
305
00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:17,430
Boy, he's already setting up his next
con.
306
00:18:18,970 --> 00:18:20,510
I'm going to build a whole new town.
307
00:18:20,910 --> 00:18:23,150
just so that I can charge them for a
royal charter.
308
00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:26,390
I'm going to call this con... Liverpool.
309
00:18:27,470 --> 00:18:28,470
Bosh!
310
00:18:28,910 --> 00:18:31,710
Warning, some of these hustles may turn
your people against you and lead to you
311
00:18:31,710 --> 00:18:32,710
losing the crown.
312
00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:35,370
It's true.
313
00:18:35,390 --> 00:18:40,190
King John really did found the area of
Liverpool as a way to make money out of
314
00:18:40,190 --> 00:18:41,190
his people.
315
00:18:41,230 --> 00:18:44,270
Whose Merseyside is he on, eh? Eh? Eh?
Eh?
316
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Eventually, the barons had had enough of
coughing up cash for greedy King Johnny
317
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,520
and decided to make a list of angry
demands.
318
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,100
The Archbishop of Canterbury agreed to
act as a go -between, and on June 10th,
319
00:18:58,100 --> 00:19:03,500
1215, King John and the barons met for
two weeks of arguing at Runnymede in
320
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:07,960
Surrey to discuss what would become the
famous Magna Carta.
321
00:19:11,140 --> 00:19:12,680
Your Majesty.
322
00:19:13,260 --> 00:19:16,620
We, the noblemen of England, are worried
about your continued abuse of power.
323
00:19:16,820 --> 00:19:20,800
It threatens the future of the realm. So
we've gathered here at Runnymede and
324
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,180
we've written a list of grievances in
this document here called the Magna
325
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,180
Really ticked off, actually. Really
ticked off. Big time.
326
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,300
Magnum cartos, whatever.
327
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:34,300
Got some grievances of my own, actually.
I think you'll find our grievances more
328
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:37,480
serious. I think you'll find mine are. I
don't think you will, actually.
329
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,340
I think I will, actually. I don't think
you will, actually.
330
00:19:40,970 --> 00:19:42,950
There's only one way to settle this.
331
00:19:43,670 --> 00:19:47,830
I propose a grievance battle.
332
00:19:51,050 --> 00:19:52,450
Baron, hit it!
333
00:19:54,590 --> 00:19:56,090
Where to start?
334
00:19:56,350 --> 00:19:59,870
Which part? We've got so many
grievances, we could fill a cart. Let's
335
00:19:59,870 --> 00:20:03,430
some facts. Like facts. They're so heavy
that they're going to break our backs.
336
00:20:03,530 --> 00:20:07,510
We can't pay. There's no chance. We lost
all our money when you lost France.
337
00:20:08,030 --> 00:20:09,550
The northern bit, anyway.
338
00:20:10,130 --> 00:20:11,950
Your Majesty, you got bones.
339
00:20:12,190 --> 00:20:13,290
Drop some beats, player.
340
00:20:13,950 --> 00:20:14,950
I'm confused.
341
00:20:14,990 --> 00:20:18,910
Is this real? I thought I was the king.
I'm holding his seal. Kneel to the king.
342
00:20:18,930 --> 00:20:22,070
I'll see you grovel in the grime. I'll
tax what I like. I'll even tax this
343
00:20:22,250 --> 00:20:24,270
If Barry's so groveling, find it get
real.
344
00:20:24,470 --> 00:20:27,330
Listen to me, dog, or you're going to
feel some steel. It's charted tight.
345
00:20:27,690 --> 00:20:30,850
We don't need to fight. Just hit it with
your seal and give us our rights. I'm
346
00:20:30,850 --> 00:20:32,570
serious, boys. I ain't finished.
347
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:36,410
We want a council to represent rich
people. We want a free church with a
348
00:20:36,410 --> 00:20:40,390
steeple. We want you to stop stealing
our sun and hoarding them hostage like
349
00:20:40,390 --> 00:20:43,430
have done. There's vital stuff here that
you've got to give us. There's also
350
00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:45,710
some stuff about fishing in the river.
So stop.
351
00:20:46,330 --> 00:20:49,130
Read what we plead. Acquire the deed in
running need.
352
00:20:49,370 --> 00:20:51,370
Do what we ask or we're going to make
you bleed.
353
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:55,230
Yeah, I hear what you're saying. If I
don't tread yet, people my life will be
354
00:20:55,230 --> 00:20:56,610
playing soon. Tell me what to do.
355
00:20:56,970 --> 00:20:57,729
You're the boss.
356
00:20:57,730 --> 00:20:59,650
They will have to do this later because
we're taking up the cross.
357
00:21:00,070 --> 00:21:01,070
Interesting development.
358
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:02,590
I wonder... Oh,
359
00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:04,069
shut up.
360
00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:07,250
Hang on a minute. You must think we're
barmy. While you're talking here, you're
361
00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:09,050
hiring up an army. So how about this?
362
00:21:09,550 --> 00:21:12,390
Let's barter. We'll stay loyal if you
agree to Magna Carta.
363
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,820
Whatever, dog, I'll agree, you skanky
scroll. I'm tired of this game and it's
364
00:21:17,820 --> 00:21:21,480
time for me to roll. I ain't bothered.
It don't feel me with Burrow. No one
365
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,420
even remember this tomorrow. Plus, I'm
busy with the Pope and he'll ignore this
366
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:27,340
thing. I do things my way because I'm
John and I'm the king. Oh!
367
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:29,060
Oh!
368
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,880
Man, this king is fast.
369
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:33,400
Harsh.
370
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:40,460
So. King John had a right royal grumble,
but agreed Magna Carta, which meant for
371
00:21:40,460 --> 00:21:45,580
the first time in history, the king had
to follow the law like everyone else. He
372
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:49,480
couldn't just steal your castle and take
your cash like he could before.
373
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,280
If it wasn't for Magna Carta, the queen
today would be able to kick you out of
374
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,960
your bedroom, nick your pocket money and
eat your sweets, just because she felt
375
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,280
like it. Not that she would, of course.
376
00:22:00,700 --> 00:22:01,740
She's a lovely lady.
377
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,080
But did Magna Carta finally make King
John behave himself?
378
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:11,260
Nah, he just went straight back to being
just as annoying as before.
379
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Eh, still King John.
380
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,920
Just about.
381
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,960
Having a bit of a tough time with the
Baron. They're trying to replace me with
382
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,740
French prince called Louis.
383
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:26,980
But I'm clinging on. Anyway, they're all
obsessed with boring Magna Carta.
384
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:29,980
Which is a Latin name.
385
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,620
But do you know what it means in
English?
386
00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:36,600
Is it... A.
387
00:22:37,260 --> 00:22:39,060
Hot Charter. B.
388
00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:41,460
Great Charter. C.
389
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,560
Generous Charter.
390
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:51,500
The answer is B. They call it the Great
Charter. Nothing great about it.
391
00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:56,960
Because it's a list of things that I'm
not allowed to do. Well, stuff that for
392
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,460
game soldier. But I've got actual
soldiers. This war... is back on, and no
393
00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:03,080
Frenchman is going to steal my throat.
394
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,200
Feeling tip -top, to be honest.
395
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:10,140
I'm sure that won't stop me.
396
00:23:11,260 --> 00:23:12,260
Oh, dear.
397
00:23:12,540 --> 00:23:13,540
Can't wait!
398
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:20,320
King John might have ignored Magna
Carta, but luckily for us, from 1215 to
399
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,520
people throughout history have realised
how important it was.
400
00:23:24,740 --> 00:23:29,260
Who'd have thought so much could be
achieved by one small piece of paper?
401
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:39,160
Here's the story of a very old decree
Forced on King John as he made up with
402
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,280
revenue of us barons And the
aristocracy.
403
00:23:43,580 --> 00:23:47,100
He took our land and for a laugh held us
on hostage too.
404
00:23:47,380 --> 00:23:50,560
Magna Carta. Magna Carta. Told King John
he's gotta be.
405
00:23:50,820 --> 00:23:54,240
He's gotta be subject to Laura Gretax
with us too.
406
00:23:54,460 --> 00:23:55,460
Gave his seal.
407
00:23:55,540 --> 00:23:56,379
Gave my seal.
408
00:23:56,380 --> 00:23:57,720
Then withdrew his guarantee.
409
00:23:58,510 --> 00:24:05,230
Left to Henry III and Edward I to pass
it through. And I would say 800 years
410
00:24:05,230 --> 00:24:08,690
of a day worth 800 cheers.
411
00:24:08,890 --> 00:24:15,470
Since 1215, Magna Carta's been the
foundation of our democracy.
412
00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:19,510
By 1500, it reads that all men are free.
413
00:24:19,930 --> 00:24:23,830
Even penance, just like me, can tell
kings that it's true. For years it
414
00:24:23,830 --> 00:24:24,830
vanished.
415
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:26,560
Until Edward Cook MP.
416
00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:27,419
That's me.
417
00:24:27,420 --> 00:24:28,480
Challenged Charles I.
418
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:30,440
That's his own power to prove.
419
00:24:30,740 --> 00:24:35,120
You'd think that Cromwell. Golly, Ollie.
Would agree, but instead he said. Magna
420
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,620
Carta. Magna Carta, more like. Not to
me. I'm Thomas Jephthah.
421
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,240
And Edward Cook is the B's knees.
422
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:44,700
Our American Constitution incorporated
his decrees.
423
00:24:45,060 --> 00:24:51,540
And I believe 800 years has grew from
ancient pioneers.
424
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,060
That's British invention.
425
00:25:15,739 --> 00:25:19,600
This letter to...
426
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,919
years old.
427
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,500
That's nearly as old as my gran.
428
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:19,200
King John continued to fight his barons
until he died in 1216, just one year
429
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,240
after Magna Carta.
430
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:25,700
The barons forgot about Prince Louis and
John's son, Henry, became King Henry
431
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:30,940
III. Poor Johnny Boy is now remembered
for being a rubbish king and for a
432
00:26:30,940 --> 00:26:32,980
document he completely ignored.
433
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,780
I wonder what he would make of all that.
434
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,460
Chatty Death, Chatty Death, my grisly
interviews.
435
00:26:43,620 --> 00:26:47,680
Chatty Death, Chatty Death, the dead,
unfamous twos.
436
00:26:48,180 --> 00:26:50,180
Yeah, they wouldn't even pay for a new
tune.
437
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,260
Yeah, time tune, doesn't work.
438
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,180
What? Oh, yeah.
439
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:59,960
Hello, and welcome back to Chatty Death,
where it's time for our special guest.
440
00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:04,980
Please go absolutely bonkers for the
former King of England, King John!
441
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,560
going bonkers, is it?
442
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:17,100
So, Johnny Bobbs, Johnny, Johnny,
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Bobbs, a King of
443
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:20,620
England, eh? How did you die in battle
an assassin's blade?
444
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,120
Let's get to the bottom of this.
445
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,020
Bad tummy. I had dysentery from eating
too many peaches.
446
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,640
Oh, sorry. Yes, that's me. Sorry. Well,
we got to the bottom of it, all right.
447
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:37,300
Now, there is one thing people like
about you. You gave us Magna Carta.
448
00:27:37,710 --> 00:27:41,430
Magnum what, what? You know, big bit of
paper. You signed it to limit your
449
00:27:41,430 --> 00:27:43,110
powers and give rights to the barons.
450
00:27:43,350 --> 00:27:44,550
People still remember that?
451
00:27:44,790 --> 00:27:47,110
Well, yeah, it sort of became the
foundation of democracy.
452
00:27:47,390 --> 00:27:50,550
No, that was nothing. I just signed it
to keep the barons quiet for a few
453
00:27:50,770 --> 00:27:53,470
I've kept more important pieces of paper
next to my toilet.
454
00:27:53,710 --> 00:27:57,130
Yeah, well, this toilet paper is the
basis of the Constitution of America.
455
00:27:57,570 --> 00:27:58,790
Sorry, what's in America?
456
00:27:59,150 --> 00:28:01,630
You know, cowboys, skyscrapers, hot
dogs.
457
00:28:01,970 --> 00:28:02,970
Al Pacino!
458
00:28:03,550 --> 00:28:04,449
Hoo -ha!
459
00:28:04,450 --> 00:28:06,250
Al Pacino! What do you got?
460
00:28:06,530 --> 00:28:09,580
What? No? A tick too long to explain.
461
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,520
I can't believe I was so unpopular.
462
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,180
But please tell me my brother Richard is
hated even more.
463
00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:16,760
Richard the Lionheart?
464
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,240
Yeah. Civilist hero of the Crusades? I
don't believe it. He hardly spent a day
465
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,700
in the country and bankrupted us with
his taxes. Why am I the villain? Well,
466
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:25,840
let's put it this way.
467
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:31,760
That was getting awk.
468
00:28:32,620 --> 00:28:35,140
Oh, you liked my Al Pacino, did you?
Yeah, I do others.
469
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,520
The Force, Luke.
470
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:42,340
Chatty death, chatty death. Hope next
time it's not you.
471
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Hi,
472
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,240
I'm King John, and I'm a... I'm a night
tyrant.
473
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,480
It's very hard to say that.
474
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,860
Make a shrewd tactical decision
involving the pincer movement.
475
00:28:55,620 --> 00:28:58,760
The past is no longer a mystery.
476
00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:02,040
Hope you enjoyed Horrible History.
