Speaker 1: history class with me your host Katie Charlewood, History Harlotte

4
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: and reader of books. Well, well, well I had a

5
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: fun weekend, and by fun, i'man tiring. It was my

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: daughter's tenth birthday, so I took her and my son

7
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: down to Dublin for the day, well overnight, and we

8
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: stayed in that's like really cool hotel and everything was

9
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: like super fun. We went to Dublin EA, which is

10
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: like the whole Viking thing in Dublin, and then we

11
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: went to and we did a VR sandbox thing. We

12
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: did lots of stuff and everyone's go melt. Everything's fun

13
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: and we had great plans to get up early and

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: go to the zoo the next morning. However, fate was

15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: not on our side because we had to be evacuated

16
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: from our hotel at one o'clock in the morning due

17
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: to a small fire. So whatever happened and whatever room,

18
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: whatever floor, I don't know right, all I know is

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning, fire alarm's going off and

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: we're getting out of that room and like we're all

21
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: in pajamas, and because it's the summer, they're all short

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: pajamas and like my son also, he's like eleven, he

23
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: runs hot, so he sleeps with just shorts on. And

24
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: so like I wake up, I just start grabbing the

25
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: jackets off of the like the the coat hangers, and

26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, shoes on. And he sets a boat up

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: and he's like, what's going on? And I'm like, it's okay,

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: it's just a fire alarm. I need you to get

29
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 1: your jacket on. So I give him his jacket. I

30
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: tell him to put your shoes on, and I try

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: to wake up his sister. Now, this girl, this girl

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: slept through fire alarms. This girl could sleep through a jackhammer.

33
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: This girl could sleep through an earthquake, and yet here

34
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: we are. I am trying to wake her up. I'm

35
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: shaking her, he's shaking her. She's not budgeting, and I'm like, crap,

36
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to carry this kid down the stairs.

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: Like she's playing sports. So she's all muscle as well.

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh, dear, let's hope the gem has

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: been kicking off like never miss leg day. So I

40
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: was like, great, put on my ceial killer rain jacket,

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: grab my phone, grab my room key in the pockets,

42
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: go grab my child, and so why scoop her up?

43
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: And that's when she wakes up because she's like what

44
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: is going on? And then she hears the fire alarm.

45
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: She's freaking out, and I'm like, don't worry about it.

46
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: I was like, fire alarm, don't worry about it. We're

47
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: gonna go downstairs. Here, put this jacket on. Here, let

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: me get your shoes on. So I get her shoes on.

49
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm tying her legs.

50
00:02:59,600 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: Is.

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: At this point, my son has opened the door and

52
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: he's walking out of it, so I have her. She's

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: walking beside me. I literally grab at teddy, throw it

54
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: into her, IMS like hold this because they both got

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: a teddy. Ah, we're going down the stairs. Well, we

56
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: go out the room and he's ahead, and then I

57
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: can't see him in the hallway and the man who's

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: holding me the fire escape door open. It's like I

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: stand there, I'm holding her, and I shout his name,

60
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: and then this guy goes he describes my son, and

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: I go yes, and he goes he's already going down

62
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: the stairs, and I go great. So we get out

63
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: onto the stairwell. When I'm on the stairwell, I can

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: physically see him. He is like he is leading the way,

65
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: he's showing people out. His hands are over his ears though,

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: because he just cannot deal with the noise, and he

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: is heading to the assembly point out in the car park.

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: So off we go. We get there, it's cold, and

69
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: then it gets to the point where they've gone from

70
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: being half asleep to being full of adrenaline. And then

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: like it's like it's just it's just there's so many

72
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: of us, but like it's so funny because there was

73
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: so many people who were not only fully dressed but

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: had their cases with them. And I'm like, I don't know,

75
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: what's that important to you unless that case is full

76
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: of medication or like you know, something irreplaceable, Like you

77
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: don't if there's a fire alarm, you get out. Like

78
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: nobody was really panicking so much on my floor, Like

79
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: we went down three flights, but I was like, no,

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: there's a fire alarm. We're getting out of the building.

81
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: And if nothing else in my brain, I'm like I

82
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: need them to know that if they hear the alarm,

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: they need to leave the building, you know, because the

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: last thing I want is for them to hear an

85
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: alarm and just be like what, like, I'll just stay

86
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: It'll be fine, because it might not be at that point.

87
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, we're outside, we're out there, my friends start

88
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: sending pictures of their of their dogs and stuff, you know,

89
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: my friend to her like she was sending me with

90
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: dog pictures and the kids love talks. So it was

91
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: really really great distracting then, but like I just love

92
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: the fact they a dreamly kicked in and she's like

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm in bloody shorts and she's like it's cold. She

94
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: was so mad at it. But yeah, then she was like,

95
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: as we get back to the room after the firemen

96
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: come and after everything comes down and we're told to

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: go back to the room, like apparently there was like

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: a small fire somebody was smoking in a room and

99
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: like nothing, it was more like a little trash can

100
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: of bit kind of went up. But it was all fine.

101
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: It was all sort of no worries. But anyway, they

102
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: grew up, we're back in. Everything's fine, and like she's complaining, well,

103
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sleep now. I'm just like too much

104
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: of this. And I was like, all right, give her

105
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: a cuddle zoonked out, she goes, but yeah.

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: The next morning she's like, I just don't think. I

107
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: don't think I'm up to the zoo today. And I

108
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 3: was like, okay, okay. So we ended up doing an

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 3: escape room instead. We did a Sherlock Holmes escape.

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Room and we beat it by ten minutes. And it's

111
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: actually really funny because we were doing the escape room

112
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: and I was still reading the first clue because they'd

113
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: found it and they'd read it and they handed it

114
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: to me and as I'm reading it, They've solved it.

115
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: I was like what And I'm like, these are my children,

116
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: but anywhare I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Katie,

117
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: it's Pride month. Cut your jibber jabber in fact me,

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: in fact you. I will. But first we've got to

119
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: get our source on the Black Prince of Florence by

130

Speaker 1: of course we have our favorites history dot com and

131
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: biography dot com. I use it incomfortably good. Then let's begin.

132
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: So Pope Leo the Tenth did not start his life

133
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: as Leo the tenth obviously, or his pope. That would

134
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: be weird. He came into the world as Giovanni de

135
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: Lorenzo de Medici, yes added the accent for dramatic effect,

136
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: apologies to any Italian listeners. And he was born on

137
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: the eleventh of December in fourteen seventy five in Florence, Italy.

138
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: He was the second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent, head

139
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: of the Florentine Republic and Claris Rossini. So he was

140
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: the second son of Lorenzo de Medici. And being the

141
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: second son, there's kind of rules. So the first son

142
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: He's going to inherit everything. He is your main sort

143
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: of link in the chain. Here is where your lineage,

144
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: your heritage, your money, that's all going to go down.

145
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: Him has said, that's just how things were in the past.

146
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: Oh so I'm just saying this is a random second son,

147
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean second son of a prominent figure, but still

148
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: second son from the fourteen hundreds. And we have a birthday.

149
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: Do you know how hard it is to find a

150
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: medieval women's birthday. I've just been out there. It's absolutely shocking.

151
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: But we have Giovanni here. So he is the second

152
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: son and the first son they usually go and you know,

153
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: run the family business or whatever. The second son usually

154
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: goes into the church because that would be an ecumenical matter.

155
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: The second son usually goes into the clergy because that's

156
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: another place of power, especially in Italy, because you know,

157
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: Italy as a general rule, very Catholic, like quite a

158
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: lot of well for quite a lot of Europe, especially

159
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: incredibly Catholic for most of this definitely Christian, but usually Catholic.

160
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: So just as a sidebar, when people discuss medieval Europe,

161
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: they do not mean like Europe as a whole, especially

162
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: as a geographical concept, because we see geography as this

163
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: is the line drawn in the sand, this is this area,

164
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: this is that area, and you know, it was less

165
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: of a physical geographic location and it was more related

166
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: to political ecclesiastical affiliations. Effectively, medieval Europe is Christian Europe.

167
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: That's what they mean. So if anybody discusses anything out

168
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: with that, that's not what they're talking about. That's why

169
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: generalizations happen and you go, oh, but what about this. Yeah,

170
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: it's because they're not counting it. Because history is written

171
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: by monks and stuff, and that's basically what it all

172
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: comes down to. The monks were the ones writing the notes,

173
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: so back to them being Christian. So Italy is so

174
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: Christian that the King of Italy became the head of

175
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: the Holy Roman Empire. No one as the Holy Roman

176
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: Emperor like that. Too much power the Church wielded. They

177
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: had like an empire, and a lot of things couldn't

178
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: happen sort of within medieval Europe without the pope, say so,

179
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: without that blessing with that power. So there would be

180
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: political power, which one some would have, and then another

181
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: form of political power through the church, so one would

182
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: go through official political channels and one would go through

183
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: the religious channels, and it was just a way of

184
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: ensuring that sort of power. I don't have a better

185
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: way to put it, Like, it's just covering all your bases,

186
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, making sure you've every corner covered, you know,

187
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: so if you need something through, you have these alliances

188
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: and affiliations and all of these connections. So it was

189
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: deemed very early on that the second son, Medici number two,

190
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: was going to have a career in the church. And

191
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: when he's seven, he ends up getting benefices, which is

192
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: basically rewards for being you know, good and holy and

193
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: wanting to do churchy things. And he gets these and

194
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: his dad's like, just careful now, you don't want to

195
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: get into like luxury and vices and all this kind

196
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: of stuff because you want to be like good, like

197
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: a good dude. Ah ha. This may shock you, but

198
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: that is not how this story is going to go.

199
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: It's not going to go at all. So his dad, Lorenzo,

200
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: being incredibly important, starts you know, lobbying on his behalf

201
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: to Pope Innocent the Eighth to name him the Cardinal

202
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: of Santa Maria Dominica. Sorry for the accent, I can't

203
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: help myself. I should probably add there's gonna be a

204
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: lot of nepotism in this story. Like you think there's nepotism,

205
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: you think you've seen an epo baby. No no, no, no, no,

206
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: no no no. Yr is not a level of nepotism

207
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: than sort of Renaissance Italy. Like the amount of favors

208
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: and people getting jobs just because you know they're related

209
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: to a pope is absolutely ridiculous. Like this has gotten

210
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: to a point where the pope has access to all

211
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: this money and all this power, and they're just living

212
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: it up like half the time. Like I understand the

213
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: concept of wanting to help your friend or relative or whatever,

214
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: but there comes a point where it's not helpful and

215
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: it's just incredibly self serving. But yeah, he ends up

216
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: being named cardinal at age thirteen, which I feel is

217
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: just too young to be a cardinal. Like he doesn't

218
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: become a priest, and I think at this point he's

219
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: like he should. You should be a priest first and

220
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: then work your way up to cardinal, Like isn't that

221
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: how it's supposed to go. You're supposed to go up

222
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: the steps, up the ladders, you learn your bit. But no, no, no, no,

223
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: no no not Giovanni ya no no no, he doesn't

224
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: have to do that, bloody ridiculous. So he's not allowed

225
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: to wear like the insignia or do stuff in the

226
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, in the college until he's sixteen. Like they're

227
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, you can't be doing that, which

228
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: is shocking. So he can be a cardinal as long

229
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: as he doesn't like dress like a cardinal, like you

230
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: can be in our group, but you can't wear the uniform.

231
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: But weird, but we I mean he has, you know,

232
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: a child at this point, so I get it. So

233
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: seeing as he can't be like proper for long cardinal,

234
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: he ends up getting an education at Lorenzo's court, and

235
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: it is a humanist education, the same one Henry the eighth,

236
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: and you know, very well rounded education actually, so you're

237
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: learning sort of arithmetic and languages and music and dance

238
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: and philosophy like all of this stuff. A love that

239
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: through danceing there everybody had to dance the Middle Ages,

240
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: like you don't have a lot of hobbys, you don't

241
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: have a lot of opportunities, like you're gonna be able

242
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: to work at a party, you know. But he gets

243
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: a humanist education, and he has I mean, he's being

244
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: taught by all these amazing thinkers like Marcadio Paccini, Bernardo Babienna,

245
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: Like he is doing well, and he is studying. On

246
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: top of all this, he's studying theology and canon law,

247
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's learning, he's working his way up. Now,

248
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: when he's sixteen, he is formally admitted into the Sacred

249
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: College of Cardinals and is allowed to live in Rome.

250
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: Now a month after he gets into the College of Cardinals,

251
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: his father dies, So Lorenzo is just dead. He's gone

252
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: to put So Lorenzo passes away and he has to

253
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: return to Florence to go deal with the funeral and

254
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, all of those important things. So he goes

255
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: and does that, and he's dealing with all that. He's grieving,

256
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: I would assume God, I hope, so he could be

257
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: bad if he wasn't. So he's doing all that. But

258
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: then he has to return to Rome because Pope Innocent

259
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: has died and so a new pope needs to get elected.

260
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: So he returned to the conclave and he opposes the

261
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: election of everyone's favorite, horrible pope, Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, who

262
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: ends up being elected as Pope Alexander the sixth. Because

263
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: none of these popes want new names, they'll have to

264
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: be the fifth, the sex of the twelve, the eight. Like,

265
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: let's have a weird pope. Let's have a pope with

266
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: a weird name like Chad. Could you imagine a Pope Chad?

267
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

268
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: Come on, Like that'd be very funny, Pope Chad. Pop

269
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know the names of about

270
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: the popes. I feel like some silly would be very

271
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: good and very fun Pope tim he so he opposes

272
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: were Drugo Borgia and that doesn't work out, so he

273
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 1: ends up heading back to stay with his brother Piero

274
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 1: in Florence. So a lot of stuff is going on

275
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: at this point. I don't know if you remember now,

276
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: A lot of this would have been covered in Arlacretzia

277
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: Borgia episode and our Catarnus Forza episodes about all of

278
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: the tumultuous, crazy shit that was happening in in Italy

279
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: at this time. So first we have Girolamo Savonorala. I

280
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: have definitely mispronounced that name. So we have him, and

281
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: he is this puritan friar so he's a monk, right,

282
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: think of you know, the high Sparrow from Game of Thrones.

283
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: He's puritan, he's a fanatic. He is a fanatical monk, tyrannical.

284
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: Some might even say like he is very into austerity measures,

285
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: like the Tory government, and he's all about, you know,

286
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: poverty is good, in pain is good and frivolity is bad.

287
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: And he's just he's just making enemies left, right and center.

288
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: Like he's.

289
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that the Medici's get kicked out

290
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: of Florence. So he's causing all this shit. And then

291
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: of course we have King Charles the eighth of France,

292
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: who is like invading and just causing shit again in

293
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: the previous episodes, and it gets to the point where

294
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: there's an uprising in Florence and like they're super into

295
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: this monk dude, and they're just sick of all the

296
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: shit that's happening, and they effectively kick the Medici's out

297
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: of Florence. So this is Piero manages to go to

298
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: Venice and Albino and Giovanni. He ends up in the

299
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: Midlands and France and I'm not going to say Germany

300
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: because it's like German states, so he could have ended

301
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: up in Prussia, for example. I'm not sure where exactly

302
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: in Germany he was, but he was going around. He was,

303
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: he was getting about. When he's eighteen, he manages to

304
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: come back to Rome and he's still very young, and

305
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: he is received very well by the current Pope Borgia

306
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: or you know, Alexander the sixth, and so he lives

307
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: in Rome and he's spending time getting to know like

308
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: literature and art, and he's reading stuff. He's getting involved

309
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: in the art scene, menace the berets and the clicking

310
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: the fingers instead of clapping. So the Medici's getting kicked out.

311
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: Part of it was a little bit of a power

312
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 1: play from, you know, the pope, because the Borges kind

313
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: of had some issues with them, you know, here and there,

314
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: and so off they went. But then Alexander the sex

315
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: dies and in fifteen oh three, Pope Julius the Second

316
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: ascends to the pontificate, and you know, Giovanni pretty happy.

317
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: Cardinal Giovanni there is like, that's cool. Pope Julius is cool.

318
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: We're cool with Pope Julius. Everything is fine. The very

319
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: same year, something good slash bad, depending on your perspective.

320
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: Happens to Giovanni because his brother Piero dies, so you know,

321
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: obviously sad that his brother is no longer with him,

322
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: but also with him out the way, Giovanni is now

323
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: the head of the Medici family. And Giovanni he is

324
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: getting in good with the Pope because when he is

325
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: twenty nine, that's right, twenty nine years old, hasn't even

326
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: hit the Big three oh yet, hasn't even had a

327
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: chance to have a quasi life crisis. No, barely a

328
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: gray hair on any of those balls. Yeah, prop Backe

329
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: Poles Again, you didn't think I was going to do it,

330
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: but I did. But yeah, he's twenty nine and he

331
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: gets appointed the papal legate of Bologna and Romagna. Basically

332
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: he's the representative of the Pope in these places. So

333
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: in Bologna and Romagna, he is the Pope stood. He

334
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: is the person you talk to if you want to

335
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: get a message to the Pope or the Pope wants

336
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: to get the message to you. So he's you know,

337
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: he's the mode man, he's Julie the guard dog. So

338
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 1: Florence at this point is a republic and it's aligned

339
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: with the French, so it's sided with them. The Medicis

340
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: have been kicked out, and Pope Julius has sent Giovanni

341
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: to basically deal with them, so he's he's been sent

342
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: with a papal army to go deal with this, but

343
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: unfortunately things don't go well, so the French end up

344
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: winning this battle and they capture Giovanni with their retreating forces.

345
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: So even though they've won, they have suffered such a

346
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: massive loss that they're just stuck. They have no choice

347
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: but to just leg it back and run away, and

348
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: they take Giovanni with them. He manages to escape head

349
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: back to Florence and re establishes the Medicis as like

350
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: the main guys in Florence like the head Honchos, although

351
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: his younger brother ends up taking proper control at that point,

352
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: but anyway, they become the most important family in Florence

353
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: and the French get driven out of Italy. Now, Pope

354
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: Julius he is not well. His time on this mortal

355
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: coil is coming to an end, and so everyone is

356
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: expected to return to Rome. So then Pope Julius dies

357
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: right and they need to elect a new pope. There

358
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: are considerably less cardinals there at the papal conclave in

359
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: fifteen thirteen because you know, the French cardinals are not

360
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: there because of you know, the invade and Getaly thing

361
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: be whether Medici's and the spores us and the yeah yeah,

362
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, just wild, absolutely wild. And so all the

363
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: votes go in and who gets carried in to the

364
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: building but Giovanni, because he is suffering from terrible anal

365
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: fictiers and festuls like it gets to the point where

366
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 1: people are commenting on how bad it smells.

367
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: Now.

368
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: It is also commented that his particular lifestyle led to this. Basically,

369
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: he was doing a lot of butt stuff, anal sex,

370
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: you know, sort of me all the other terminology for it,

371
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. Butt stuff just sounds funny

372
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: to me. So I'm gonna stick with the butt stuff,

373
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: even though it feels really childish. Bit in a lau

374
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: opian and I'm on a load of drugs tracks It's okay.

375
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: They were prescribed by a doctor. Yes, And at the

376
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: age of thirty seven, thirty seven, Giovanni is elected pope. Now.

377
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: The story is that some of them felt sorry for him,

378
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: and they didn't think he was going to be round

379
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: much longer. Because you know, because of all of his

380
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: anal issues. But yeah, he gets elected and he decides

381
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: on the name Leo. So he is Pope Leo the tenth.

382
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: And now he is in charge of the church and

383
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: his younger brother is in charge of the Medici family.

384
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: So over the next couple of days, so this is

385
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: how quick it was. On the fifteenth of March, he's

386
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: ordained as a pre On the seventeenth of March Saint

387
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: Patrick's day, he was ordained as the Bishop of Rome.

388
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: And on the nineteenth of March he was officially named pope. Now,

389
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: no no events. That's four days. Over the course of

390
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: four days he went through all of the ecumenical stuff,

391
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: all of the all of all of the clergy, like

392
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: leveling up, like he leveled up through the clergy with

393
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: four days. Four days he did it, which is worrying.

394
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: And so he is known as the young Pope obviously

395
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: because he's very young. Have you seen popes, they're generally

396
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: quite wrinkly, like their their prunes and human form. You

397
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: know that they're getting on a bit. And this may

398
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: shock you, but he is the last non priest to

399
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: ever be a pope, and I think for good reason.

400
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Now Leo is in charge and he starts spending money. Now,

401
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but the Vatican

402
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: is hella rich, like they are rolling in it. They

403
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: have so much money. And you know, people would say

404
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: to Leo, listen, have you considered being a bit more pious?

405
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: I mean he was praying, he would fast before Mass,

406
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: and he would do like all of the things one

407
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: would expect someone deeply religious to do, so he would

408
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: go through all of that. But then also, it's been

409
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: a fuck ton of money. So he he spent so

410
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: much money, like so much money, to the point that

411
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: he spent over the next two years all of the money,

412
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: like all of all of the paper money. And they're like,

413
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: can you maybe not do that? And he said, ah,

414
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: fuck for game of Socials, I'm gonna just renovate this pitch.

415
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Because what he does is he makes a pornographic bathroom.

416
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard about the Pope's pornographic bathroom.

417
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: This is the one. This is the secret Vatican bathroom

418
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: full of sort of artwork frescoes. Perhaps that is the

419
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: frescos it's artwork away and it's it's it's it's basically

420
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: porn it's pornographic imagery. It's just a big, dirty bathroom.

421
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: It's very funny. So you've got that.

422
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 2: And he is.

423
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: Enlarging the Vatican Palace and he's ordering like churches and

424
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: chapels to be built around Rome. But he's not just

425
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: spending on himself, like he's also forking a lot of

426
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: money out to charity. So this is where I say, like,

427
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: you can be like two things at once, Like you

428
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: can do good things and you can do awful things.

429
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: This is why, like bad people can do good things

430
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: and people can do bad things, and some people are

431
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: absolute cunts like this Fela, because what he does is

432
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: he decides that not only is he going to spend

433
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: all the Vaticans of money, he doesn't give a shit,

434
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: and he has to find ways to make more money.

435
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: And he does this by creating new offices and offering

436
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: these roles to the highest bidder, so you could get

437
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: a job if you were rich effectively instead of being

438
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: capable or good. And so he started selling papal indulgences.

439
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: He's giving beneficials out. He is just going to town.

440
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: And it gets to the point that he is just

441
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: spending so much money, and he's not his outgoings are

442
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: more than his incomings effectively. And he then has to

443
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: deal with King Francis the First, because King Francis the

444
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: First of France, France, Francis of France, he has a

445
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: little bit power hungry because he wants to regain control

446
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: of Milan in Naples, and he marches to Italy to

447
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: head an army to just try and take over. And

448
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: you've got the French, the French, the French. I can't

449
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: be able to do this the French. You've got the

450
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: French army and you've got the Swiss army and they're

451
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: fighting in Mariniano, and the French take control of Milan,

452
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: and it's it's just it's not great. And also Italy's

453
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: not too cool with that. The Pope's not too cool

454
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 1: with that. And in the meantime, he is trying to

455
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: do with a bunch of stuff because he was hoping

456
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: to put his brother in charge of a load of stuff.

457
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: They wanted to make him a powerhouse and to be

458
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: a Roman patrician, so he was hoping to invest all

459
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: of his sort of political plans in his brother. He

460
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: had made him a Roman patrician and he was hoping

461
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: to really really get the ball rolling there and really

462
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: gain power through Giuliano. Effectively, his plan was to put

463
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: in charge of the kingdom in central Italy, so he

464
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: was hoping to have him in charge of Ferrara and

465
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: Urbuno and Beacenza and Parma, and he was just really

466
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: hoping to get all this going. But then Juliana dies

467
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: or sorry, Giuliano dies, and his son, Leo's nephew Lorenzo

468
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: I know, I know another name. The kids repeated, he

469
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: is now, he's now the big boss. He's now where

470
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: all those all those plans are going. He is putt

471
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Mel's eggs in one basket, so he's got plans for him.

472
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: So he deals with him, and then he takes Apolito,

473
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: who is his nephew, because he is but he's illegitimate,

474
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 1: so he raises him because that's that's always good to

475
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: have on hand. Because here's the thing, he's the pope.

476
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: He can declare him legitimate anytime he wants, so he

477
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: has power here, so he's dealing with that. And then

478
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: the following year, when he's thirty eight, he ends up

479
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: having a meeting with Francis, of course, and he ends

480
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: up at the Concordat of Bologna, and it's basically a

481
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: treaty with Franz where Francis the First gets the right

482
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: to appoint all of the churchmen in France, which sounds

483
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: super fun. So we're in fifteen seventeen, which is he

484
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: very very busy here for Leo. Oh my god, I

485
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: forgot the elephant. Okay, So when Leo gets elected to

486
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, being pope, he is gifted a white elephant

487
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: by the King of Portugal because he's trying to stay

488
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: on his good side obviously, and it's a big way

489
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: elephant called Annon, but the Pope calls him Hanno, right,

490
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: and he loves this elephant more than fucking life itself.

491
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: Like this elephant gets treated the best it has, can

492
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: do tricks, it lives in a gold room that's just

493
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: having a great time. Hannah is treated so fucking well,

494
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: and the Pope fucking loves this elephant like I don't

495
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: know what else to tell you, Like he is the

496
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: way people obsess over their dogs. That's the way Leo

497
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: treats this elephant like he loves it. He has parties

498
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: with it. I cannot know you how much weird elephant

499
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: related history, I know, but I know far too much

500
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: elephant related history, far too much. But anyway, he has it,

501
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: and he has it for four years. So this is

502
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: the year we still have it. Currently, fifteen seventeen, we

503
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: still have Hano the elephant, still very much living his

504
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: best life. Now the elephant is not the only thing

505
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: he loves. He also spends a lot of special time

506
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: with certain cardinals, certain bishops, certain friends, best friends, roommates.

507
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: Wink wink, not nudge. But we'll get back to that

508
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: in a moment. So what happens is Europe, Christian Europe

509
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: ends up banding together because they're so afraid of the Turks.

510
00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: So they are terrified they are going to be overrun

511
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: by the Turks. Is you know, as if they haven't

512
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: just been like invading all of these other countries and

513
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: trying to enforce you know, Catholic dogma upon them, like

514
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: as if that's not a thing, when that was very much,

515
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, a millennia of things. You know, it's just

516
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: it's wild. So there is this like peace between like

517
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 1: France and Spain and the Habsburg monarchy and Venice and

518
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: because they were like want to fight against you know,

519
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: the Turks because again they're worried about someone doing to

520
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: them what they did to other people. Oh no, it

521
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: isn't the consequences of your own actions, wisha wisha. So yeah,

522
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: they're doing that. But and then there's a little bit

523
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: of peace for well. But then of course you have

524
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: Henry the eighth, who's like consistently in a deck measuring

525
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: contest with the King of France Kevin. Francis are just

526
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: like wasting money trying to screw each other over. So

527
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 1: Leo here manages to get one hundred and fifty thousand

528
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: ducats in order to like help Henry the eighth in

529
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: order to enter the Imperial League of Spain and England

530
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: against France, like they're just trying to fuck it over.

531
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: And this warlands from like February to September that year.

532
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: But it brings uh, it does help. It brings up Lorenzo.

533
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: He manages to get up and as well does well

534
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: for himself. Although there is like a bunch of stuff

535
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: messed over, and there was supposed to be a crusade

536
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 1: and then obviously the cruseqe can happen, and this whole

537
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: war caused him eight hundred thousand ducats in total eight

538
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. I don't even know how much that isn't

539
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: today's money. A fucked on, That's what I know. But

540
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: at the end, Lorenzo is the new duke, Duke Duke

541
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: of Rubino, so, you know, not the worst way for

542
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: it to end, but there is a bunch of stuff

543
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: going on. So they end up having a party, right,

544
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 1: and they are celebrating and they're having a good time,

545
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: and they're all drinking wine and the elephants there, and

546
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: the elephant is offered wine that drinks from a goblet.

547
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: And then in the middle of this party, Hanno, the

548
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: elephant head starts to wobble. He starts making noises and

549
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: then collapses. Now there's two two stories to this, the

550
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: first being that the elephant was fed gold leaf and laxative,

551
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: which did something to it, And the other is that

552
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: the elephant was provided poisoned wine because the wine that

553
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: the elephant had not drank was supposed to be like

554
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: celebratory wine for you know, the pope and his pals,

555
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: and so Leo starts getting suspicious, who out of everybody

556
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: was going to do that to him? But Leo sees

557
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 1: what's happening, and he decides to tell people that someone

558
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: is planning to impart him, and he has a reason

559
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: for that. But first his beloved Hannah the Elephant gets

560
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: a full church funeral, a full church service proper, like again,

561
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: really loved the elephant very much into this, and so

562
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: he has a massive funeral for it. And then Hannah

563
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 1: the Elephant is buried under the Vatican where their bones

564
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: still lay, like that elephant is still there. So here's

565
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: the thing. Pope Leo has a lover, the twenty six

566
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: year old Cardinal Alphonso Patricci. Now Leo has ousted Patricci's

567
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 1: cousin and he is well mad, and so he ends

568
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,439
Speaker 1: up heading back to Siena, which does not sit well

569
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: with the Pope, not at all. So Siena the tennis Siena.

570
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: It is a town, it's a city. It's Tuscan city technically. Yeah,

571
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: it is a rival of Florence, which is the pope city.

572
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: So they're basically like my town against your town. So

573
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: he had put like Sienna under the protection of the papacy,

574
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: so like Pope's like, I'm looking after that, to worry

575
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: about it, and yeah, Patuci ends up involved in this

576
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: alliance and he's trying to negotiate retaking the city, and

577
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: Leo was pest absolutely mader this. He's fucking not with

578
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 1: it at all, not get on the situation. And so

579
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: like one is betrayed, the other's betrayed. They're all pisted

580
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: over with each other. And he decides he wants to

581
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: get rid of him, and he is looking at his elephant,

582
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: he's looking at everything around him, and he goes, you

583
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: know what, I've got a plan. I'm going to accuse

584
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: him of murder. And that's what he does. So he

585
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: ends up sending like a letter to Portrucci offering him

586
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: safety and security and like, you know, everything's fine, we

587
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: just want to chat and have a talk, and so

588
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: he brings him over and he arrives only to be arrested. See,

589
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: unbeknownst to Petrucci, a bunch of people from servants to

590
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: surgeons have been rounded up, tortured and interrogated, and they

591
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: were all pointing the finger to like this conspiracy of cardinals.

592
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: And you've got the surgeon who's like, yeah, he paid

593
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: me to poison him during a surgery for his Inno

594
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: Festulis so like he was just gonna like poison his

595
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: ass quite literally, like that's what he says. And then

596
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: you've got sort of these letters appear saying that the

597
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: person did this, this person did that, and they get

598
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: arrested and people are shocked and a bit a bit worried.

599
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: So all the main players involved, they are found guilty

600
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: in a trial by a bunch of cardinals. Right, so

601
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: you have Nini and Vicelli and Riario Petrucci. They're all

602
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: found guilty. So Nini and Vercelli were hung, drawn and

603
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: quartered with their bodies displayed on the bridge outside of

604
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: the Castle Santangelo, you know, to prove a point. And

605
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: Petrucci was supposed to be a few days later. But

606
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: between these executions and the next round of executions, Leo

607
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: appoints thirty one new cardinals, like doubling the size of

608
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: the college, like since the re establishment of the single paper,

609
00:43:54,719 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: say in Rome, like sixty seventy years before, Like the

610
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: most amount of cardinals had been appointed at any one

611
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: time was twelve. But he went for thirty one, almost

612
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: as if he was trying to get more people in

613
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: his corner, right, So he manages to elect elect to

614
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: create amount. But it was like four Florentines, Medici allies

615
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: and laws cnes, including Raphael Patricci, so like a rival

616
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: branch of the cardinal's family, Alfonso's family, so effectively, a

617
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 1: lot of these older cardinals that had been there, their

618
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,760
Speaker 1: power had sort of been displaced, and this new college

619
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: of cardinals had appeared. So yeah, there was supposed to

620
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: be an execution for Alfonso Patricci like three days after this,

621
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: and the remaining conspirators quote unquote were freaking out, so

622
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: Souly his family goes to France and asks the crown

623
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: to like jump in in his behalf zick. The government

624
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 1: of Genoa manages to intervene to Castalysi flees to Rome

625
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: and like loses all of his like good shit, and

626
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: he gets stripped of being cardinally like loses everything. One

627
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,320
Speaker 1: of the other conspirators manages to like pull a sagapred

628
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 1: and Roy and tricks Leo tense guards into following like

629
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: a decoy entourage while he manages to sneak the fuck

630
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: out of Room and Soule who's having a bunch of

631
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: issues he because of you know, the crown and the

632
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: government lobbying on his behalf, he gets moved to a

633
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: most comfortable sell and Riario his family and friends are

634
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 1: making arrangements to pay his fine. So like most fines

635
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 1: for this for the conspirators was like twelve and a

636
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:14,760
Speaker 1: half thousand ducats, Riario his was one hundred and fifty thousand.

637
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 1: Like the richest man in Rome, agustinoch Like, he pays

638
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: like a third of the sum. And Riario gets released

639
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: at his exile, so he's off, He's buckled off to Naples.

640
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: Soule is released like a week later, and he's found

641
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand ducats and he's confined. He's on home arrest,

642
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: right home arrest, house arrest, and he's stuck in his

643
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: house and he loses like a bunch of stuff and

644
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: then he dies a year later. So eah, So like

645
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: through all this, Leo makes was half a million ducats

646
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: out of all this, which is two hundred and fifty

647
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: times the income of the proest cardinal in Rome. Now

648
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 1: what happens for Petrucci? Like he apparently it said you

649
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: know that he was going to kill the pope Gerrieri

650
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: yari yea what maybe he said in anger, Maybe he

651
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: said intentims to say. All we know was that Leo

652
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: wanted rid of him, and he needed an excuse to

653
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: do so, and framing someone for murder or attempted murder

654
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,839
Speaker 1: of the pope during anal surgery is definitely one way

655
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 1: to do it. But as Pertrucci is in his cell

656
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: awaiting his execution, somebody breaks in and strangles him with

657
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: a red silk cord, which is known as the Turkish method.

658
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's an intimate death. I mean, I'm not

659
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: one to get people advice on murder, but that is

660
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: an intimate, specific death. There are so many other options,

661
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: in so many ways he could have been executed, but

662
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: that's a deeply personal personal thing. Maybe it was meant

663
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: to be an insult, I'm not sure, but it was.

664
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: It is what it was. Now again, we're still in

665
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 1: fifteen seventeen, and there was a lot of stuff happening.

666
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: So some of you may know.

667
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 2: Fifteen seventeen for a very particular reason for the church,

668
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: and it's because Martin Luther he takes his ninety five

669
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 2: these season he nails them to the church door in Germany.

670
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: See seven years before Martin Leather had actually come to

671
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: Rome and then seen all the sort of wanting luxury

672
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: and all of the all of the nepotism and the

673
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: scheming and just the awfulness he thought, because he was like,

674
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: this is not good, this is all too much. And

675
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: so like Leo and Martin Luther, they had they had

676
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: not done well. Leo had ended up actually excommunicating Martin Leather,

677
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: which is weird. Do you know how hard it is

678
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: actually to get excommunicated, Like, it is so hard to

679
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: be excommunicated by the church. I've tried. It's not an

680
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: easy thing to do. So basically, this is the start

681
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: of the Reformation, and you have like these fractures in

682
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: these factions sort of splitting up, and Protestantism, Lutheranism, Anglicanism,

683
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 1: like all of these different sort of branches appear, and

684
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: they're all going, we're not super into the whole Roman

685
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: Catholicism right now because of all the dodginess that's happening

686
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: in the church and all the money landering and you know,

687
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: making weird crime families happen, and also a lot of

688
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: this weird family tree, which is a wreath. It's there's

689
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: a lot of it going on. It's not good. So

690
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: he is so mad about all of this sort of

691
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: Reformation shit happening that he releases his papal bull or

692
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: is that to call it his people bullshit? And he

693
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: is just so mad, denouncing all so on and so forth,

694
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: and Martin Luther ends up burning the papal bull he'd

695
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: been sent because he gets sent because he's like, you

696
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: need to remove these forty one sentences, which we think

697
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: are heretical, and you've got like sixty days to do it.

698
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 2: He's got a.

699
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: Deadline, right, and you know, he gets this. He gets

700
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: this on the fifteenth of June, but it's not until

701
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: the tenth of December then he actually just drew up

702
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: burns the damn thing. So he's like, he's like, I mean,

703
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: that's more than sixty days, that's that is, But he

704
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: burns it anyway, He's like, ooh, just a big show

705
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: at this point. It's a big fuck you to him.

706
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: And and yeah, Leo's like, m M, you know what,

707
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: you are excommunicated. No, So in fifteen twenty one, King

708
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: Henry the Eighth he brings a book, Septum Sacramentorum, is

709
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:22,240
Speaker 1: presented to put Leo the tenth and Leo gives Henry

710
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: the title of Defender of the Faith because he's like,

711
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: so Auntie Martin Luther like he's so Catholic, which is

712
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: funny in hindsight because yeah, then exactly stick with that

713
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 1: to a long did way. But then of course we

714
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: have Lutheranism is like spreading into Scandinavia. It is just

715
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: all over the shop, and is it King Christian King? Well,

716
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: the King's wad and he's like, okay, I'm going to

717
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: use this to my advantage to push Rome away, because

718
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: like Leo would give like rewards and stuff from Scandinavia

719
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 1: to like people who gave him money and helped him

720
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: gain more power. So he would do that, and he

721
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: hinted up like not dealing so much with that after

722
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: a while, and he didn't really jig it too much

723
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: because in his later years he was getting he was

724
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: not well, shall we say, And so he ended up

725
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: sort of passing the baton to his nephew Juliana, because

726
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: of course he did, because it's the family affair apparently.

727
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: So he does that and he ends up becoming incredibly

728
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: fucking ill because he gets bronco pneumonia.

729
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 2: Like.

730
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: The bad pneumonia, like so much so much illness should

731
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: have washed his hands more so what I'm saying, And

732
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: he is so ill like this comes on like sharp

733
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: and fast in the end of November, and he ends

734
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: up dying so suddenly that he doesn't get like his

735
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: last righte so his final sacraments, like he manages to

736
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: not get them, so that that's that's not a good

737
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: sign for him. But it's such a fast dead like

738
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: there's like an idea that he got poisoned, but it's pneumonia,

739
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,840
Speaker 1: Like all of the signs point to pneumonia. And in

740
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: the onet of December fifteen twenty one, at the age

741
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: of forty six, Giovanni di Medici, Popelio the Tenth passes away,

742
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,320
Speaker 1: and so ends our story of Pope Leo the Tenth,

743
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: who murdered his lover because he good and had a

744
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:46,520
