Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everyone, it's Eves checking in here to let you
know that you're going to be hearing two different events
in history in this episode. They're both good, if I
do say so myself. On with the show. Hi everyone,
Welcome to this Day in History class, where we uncover
the remnants of history every day. The day was June.
(00:31):
Markte Zuma the Second, the ninth Aztec Emperor of Mexico, died. Alternatively,
the date of his death has also been given as
June ju or July one. He may have died from
the wounds inflicted on him by a group of Aztecs
angry at his submission to the Spaniards, or he may
(00:51):
have been killed by Spaniards. Mark te Zuma the Second,
also known as Maka Kustoma Shoko Yosen, was born sometime
around fourteen sixty six in te Note t Lin, the
capital of the Aztec Empire. Town was located where Mexico
City is today. When Markazuma was young, his father became Slatawani,
(01:13):
or emperor of te note Tilon, succeeding Martezuma the First.
There was more than one Tlatawani and the Aztec Empire,
but the Tlatawani of teln was the top ruler and
the supreme leader of the Aztec people. Growing up, Markazuma
the second was well educated in religion, science, and art,
(01:35):
and he went to the calm Caque, which was a
temple school where he studied religious texts and songs of
the gods. When Martezuma's father died, one of his uncle's
de silk Seen, took the throne. Another of Marka Zuma's uncle's,
a Weisel, succeeded him. At this point, Markazuma was serving
(01:55):
as a general under the emperor. Markazuma went on military
campaigns and earned to be an effective military leader. When
the emperor died, mate Zuma took his place and became
ruler of the enormous Aztec Empire in fifteen o two.
Under markte Zuma's reign, the Aztec Empire grew to its
largest size, but his rule created political and social strife
(02:19):
in the Aztec Empire. Markte Zuma was devoted to his
religion and he ruled from a fatalistic perspective. He upped
the tributes required from conquered tribes and demanded more victims
for religious sacrifices. He also banned commoners from working in
royal palaces and taxed people heavily, which stoked resentment. But
(02:42):
in fifteen nineteen Adnan Cortes and hundreds of other Spanish
invaders arrived at the Gulf coast of Mexico with plans
of exploitation and conquest. As they traveled inland, they made
friends with people that were hostile to the Aztecs, such
as the Talks Call On, an indigenous group in the region.
(03:02):
Marte Zuma sent people out to meet Cortes and assess
his intentions. Cortez asserted he came in friendship, and by
November the Spanish made it to take no tlon. Markte
Zuma welcomed them, gave them gifts, and hosted them in
his palace, but soon tensions between the Spaniards and Aztecs grew.
(03:23):
Cortez took marte Zuma prisoner, hoping that the Aztecs would
refrain from attacking if he captured their ruler. Marte Zuma
continued to rule while being held prisoner. Cortez went to
the coast to fight another Spanish army led by Bonfilo
de Nato Bias that had arrived on the coast of Mexico,
but after an Aztec celebration ended in the massacre of
(03:46):
indigenous people by Spaniards, battles began in the capital. Cortes
returned to take No Lion with reinforcements from Nari Bias,
defeated army, but he realized that the Spanish and Aztecs
had lost control over the city. Markte Zuma the Second
died on or around June. Exactly how he died is unclear.
(04:10):
There are differing accounts of his death from European and
indigenous people. Cortes told marte Zuma to issue an order
to the tay notched delon people to stop attacking the Spaniards.
Spanish accounts said that a mob of Aztecs threw stones
and arrows at marte Zuma after he enjoined them to
stop fighting the Europeans as they had lost respect for
(04:32):
the ruler for submitting to the Spaniards. He did not
eat or get medical treatment, and he died of his
wounds days later. Indigenous accounts, on the other hand, claimed
that Spaniards stabbed markte Zuma. Marte Zuma's brother, quit Lawak,
succeeded marte Zuma as leader of the Aztec Empire, though
(04:52):
He soon died of smallpox that the Europeans had brought.
He was succeeded by kat Mak, the last Aztec brewer.
Views of marte Zuma's legacy differ. Some accounts have portrayed
marte Zuma the second as a superstitious and a week
leader who buckled to the Spanish invaders and gave away
his empire, and some indigenous people saw him as a
(05:14):
trader who colluded with the Spaniards against them. Still, others
recognized him as a competent and noble leader. There is
no clear picture of his personality, and there are conflicting
accounts of his rule. I'm Eves, Jeff Cote, and hopefully
you know a little more about history today than you
did yesterday. You can find us on Twitter, Instagram and

(06:02):
Hey y'all, I'm Eves and welcome to the Standard History Class,
a podcast that proves history is made every day. The
day was June. The Globe Theater in London, famous for
hosting performances of Shakespeare's plays, was destroyed in a fire.
(06:25):
There were no deaths in the fire, and the theater
was rebuilt the next year. The Globe Theater was built
in and Southern on the south bank of the Thames.
It was constructed using wood from another venue called The Theater,
which was built in fifteen seventy six. The Globe Theater
was open air, about one feet in diameter, had three stories,
(06:46):
and could hold three thousand people. There was standing room
at the base of the stage for the so called
groundlings to watch the show. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was
an acting company that Shakespeare associated with during most of
his writing care year. Actors who were shareholders in the
Lord Chamberlain's Men became joint owners of the Globe Theater.
The original owners were Richard Bourbage, Cuthbert Bourbage, Shakespeare, John Hemmings,
(07:11):
Augustine Phillips and Thomas Pope. The first performance at the
theater took place in late fifteen. Most of Shakespeare's plays
after nine were staged at the Globe Theater. Hamlet, King
Lear and Macbeth were some of the plays that were
performed at the Globe over the next decade. On June,
(07:31):
the play All Is True, now known as Henry the Eighth,
was performed at the Globe. Shakespeare wrote the play, which
follows the story of King Henry the Eighth of England,
with John Fletcher. Shakespeare relied on Raphael Holland's Chronicles, a
description of British history, to write the play. During this performance,
a theatrical cannon that was set off misfired and ignited
(07:53):
the theater's wooden beams and thatching. The whole place was
a fire hazard because of its use of timber and thatching.
There weren't safety inspections and there weren't plans for evacuation
in case of a fire. There are several eyewitness accounts
of the event. According to diplomat and politicians Sir Henry
Watton's account, the cannon was set off when King Henry
(08:14):
entered for a mask scene at Cardinal was Ley's residence.
When the thatching started to smoke, people continued paying attention
to the show and thought it was just quote idle smoke,
but the fire spread quickly. Watton said that a man's
clothes caught on fire and were put out with the
bottle of Ale, and according to a letter written by
John Chamberlain, visitors escaped through quote two narrow doors. It
(08:37):
took less than two hours for the entire theater to
be destroyed by the blaze. Nobody mentioned any deaths in
the contemporary accounts, and there are no records of any otherwise.
It took a year to rebuild the globe. In the
new theater, the roof was tiled rather than thatched. The
globe was shut down by the Puritans in sixty two
(08:58):
and destroyed within the next few years. A reconstruction based
on the two original Globe theaters opened in London in
I'm Eve Jeff Coote, and hopefully you know a little
more about history today than you did yesterday. And if
you have any comments our suggestions, you can send them
