  1. 18:25 Martinmas is actually still celebrated in the Netherlands, but it's been slowly disappearing in favour of Hallowe'en. In my province Martinmas is widely celebrated but I was surprised to learn that around 20 or so years ago it largely disappeared from the Holland region.

  2. I actually almost cried when the Ottomans broke the city walls (in the video, of course) , a sad ending of a once mighty empire.

  4. Germanised Gallo-Romans.

  5. 2019 is history, yesterday is history too. I wouldn't call it a separate era, but using the industrial revolution would probably be the best cut off for separating the pre-industrial era from the technologically advanced era.

  6. Technically the Ottoman rulers considered themselves to be the Ceasars of Rome, Khans of the Mongol Empire, and Caliphs of Islam (among a load of other titles) until 1923 as their empire descented from these and combined their cultures.

  10. In Charlemagne's defence, he only did that because the Eastern Roman Empire had an Empress at the time and the Franks didn't recognise the idea of a female having any power and he wanted the blessing and recognition of the Roman patriarch (the Pope), also only the Roman Sultanate really claimed to be Rome incarnate.

  13. 06:20 This is what I thought, but many Anglophobe historians use the term "Germanic" to refer to Germany.

  17. I remember seeing a romantic comedy from the 1990's where a 19th century British man ended up in modern New York City and while he had some questions about how the world works, he immediately started thinking hypotheses about how lighting, modern technology, and society worked and he wasn't often that wrong. This actually shows quite accurately how natural our time might see for someone living in the industrial revolution, but not before.
