Peculiar historical facts Transcript: Today we are going to be looking at the stupider side of history about events or people that are just a bit weird. Starting off with the Romanian dictator's visit to the UK. Firstly if you don’t know the Recently deceased Queen Elizabeth the 2 would often meet other leaders of countries as a sort of diplomatic event and they would often meet in one of the lavish rooms of Buckingham Palace. Now before I go any further, I have to give some backstory of the stereotypes many people in Europe attribute to the Romanian people mostly Romanian gypsies. They often are seen as thieves and antisocial who don’t really pay into society but take a lot from it. They also stole my bike when I was in middle school so they aren’t getting any sympathy points from me. This stereotype isn't helped when the French president at the time rang the palace to warn them that the Romanian dictator and his wife had stolen valuables from their lodgings and I quote ā€œbehaved like burglarsā€. So, when they stayed at the palace it was in a bare-bones room with any valuables removed going so far as to remove anything that could be unscrewed lol. Not only that when the queen saw them in the courtyard whilst walking her dogs, she jumped behind a bush so that she could avoid them. Yeah, all of this isn’t really helping the stereotype if I’m being honest. Next, we have the peculiar tale of Pepsi having the 6ths largest military at one point in history. It happened in the late 80s when the drink was so popular in the Soviet Union that even though their currency was practically worthless internationally, they would trade vodka and other consumer goods for the Pepsi concentrate. However, after the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, it looked bad if Pepsi was accepting consumer goods from them so to get around this instead they accepted 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer which somehow is better than the vodka. The total value of the naval fleet was around $3 billion USD which is about 7.5 billion in today’s terms. With this newfound military might Pepsi then invaded multiple countries and established the democratic republic of Pepsico, just kidding they sold them to a Swedish company that recycled them. But still, there’s probably a timeline where something to that effect happened. Our next tale is In medieval Europe, Germany more specifically, the noblemen would engage in disputes over land and titles, which would lead to regular gatherings which were known as diets. These generally went on without incident until the year 1184 when the meeting took place in the Church of St Peter of Erfurt. They had the gathering in a room above the church's latrine pits which you can probably guess what happens next. The room was filled with 60-100 noblemen some wearing heavy chain armour and mid dispute the floorboards collapsed causing them to all fall into a feces pit. Some drowned in poo and others were crushed by the weight of the floorboards or other noblemen on top of them. All in all around 60 noblemen died including a nobleman by the name of Count Heinrich of Swarchzburg who often jokingly stated he would drown in his own fecal matter before he ever failed his duties as count, I guess that’s what you get when you tempt God. King Henry the 6th of Germany also fell into the latrine pit but was one of the lucky few who survived. The irony of a bunch of noblemen meeting for a ā€œdietā€ and then dying due to their combined weight causing the floor to give way is not lost on me. Our next peculiar tale takes place in Ireland in the southern Irish town of Baltimore. It was a pretty unknown town until it was attacked in 1631. Now if I show you this map of Ireland based on proximity who do you think is the most likely to invade? I'll give you 4 options. Was it A the English? B the Spanish? C the French? Or D a raiding party from Northern Ireland. Locked in your answers? Good The correct answer is none of them and it was a band of North African Pirates. To think of how ridiculous this is you have to realise that medieval boats could only travel 100-150 miles a day and the trip was around 1600 miles so it likely took them 2 weeks to get there. They took prisoners and turned them into slaves which happened a lot to the Irish people unfortunately. Those who were taken as slaves never saw Ireland.l
