(00:00):
Everybody loves the Renaissance Fair. Imean, you've really got it all,
colorful arts and crafts, giant chunksof roast meat, people speaking in some
approximation of old timey English, andmost exciting of all, you've got the
medieval games, jousting, sword fighting, archery, horseback riding and more.
It's the kind of thing a medievalhistory nerd dreams about. But what if
(00:24):
I told you that long ago therewas a Renaissance fair where the fighting was
very much real. My name isJosh, and this is obscure history.
(01:03):
I remember going to the Renaissance Fairwith my dad once. Due to the
unfortunate circumstances that so often arise ina family, we didn't spend very much
time together. In fact, thisis one of the very few memories I
have of him. We arrived ata sprawling park outside of the city.
We parked the car in a pasturethat had been converted into a crude parking
(01:26):
lot with squiggly white spray paint lines. We walked into the fair and were
greeted by dozens and dozens of smilingfaces, all speaking in old timey British
accents with varying degrees of skill andexecution. For the most part, their
clothes looked as if they had beenplucked out of a history museum, and
(01:47):
many of them sat behind booths sellinghandmade crafts and goods. We circled a
park, looking at every booth.My dad is an artist, and I
remembered spending an extra long time atthe booths that were selling paintings, drawings,
and handmade jewelry. In the centerof the park was a giant arena
(02:07):
sectioned off by portable fencing, andI remember impatiently waiting for some kind of
action to begin. And while Iprobably squirmed with anticipation and asked the kinds
of grating questions that can only becrafted by an impatient child, my dad
got me a tall blue bottle ofroot beer that still lives in my memory
(02:27):
is the best ever. Finally,the arena was filled with men and women
in full suits of armor swinging medievalweapons at each other. The crash of
metal against metal, and the gruntsand shouts of combat mingled with our cheers
and filled the park. When thefighting was over, we left. My
stomach was full of delicious root beerand my imagination infatuated by Medieval Times.
(02:54):
I know that I'm not the onlyperson who has a memory like that rolling
around in their brain. Of allthe historical periods that people love to study,
I would imagine that Medieval Europe isprobably right behind World War Two.
I mean, think about it.Though obviously embellished franchises like Lord of the
Rings, Game of Thrones, Dungeonsand Dragons, the Chronicles of Narnia,
(03:16):
and so on and so forth areall grounded in some version of Medieval Europe.
Every year, thousands of people visitRenaissance fairs, just like the one
my dad took me to when Iwas a kid, and even more,
according to Kim Severson of The NewYork Times, the Medieval Times restaurant franchise
treats over two million customers to awonderful Turkey dinner and show every year.
(03:40):
Now, even though Rehnfares and MedievalTimes don't have orcs or dragons, it's
important to remember that they are alsoentertaining embellishments of the past, although they
might be less of an embellishment thanyou'd expect. From the years thirteen thirty
seven to fourteen fifty three, Britainand France were locked into a series of
(04:00):
wars sparsely broken up by years ofpeace, which would be lumped together and
called the Hundred Years War. Betweenthese conflicts and the Black Plague worming its
way through the continent, this centurywould prove to be perhaps the most grueling
and vile in all of France andBritain's history. Some estimates even suggest that
during this time France lost around fiftypercent of its population. This information is
(04:26):
certainly not obscure. It's actually muchthe opposite. However, something that doesn't
get discussed enough when we talk aboutthe Hundred Years War is how the political
structure of the day really affected thewar and particular battles within it. Of
course, there were kings in bothBritain and France, but it seems that
we often misunderstand the actual power dynamic. Today, it's easy to see how
(04:48):
a president or dictator or monarch couldexercise nearly total control over a country because
technology has made their reach nearly godlike. They can hear the news instant,
they can respond instantly. They canmake demands or decisions or judgments with just
a few flicks of their thumb.But in medieval Europe things moved much more
(05:10):
slowly, and while minor nobility weresupposed to answer to the king, they
also wielded a great deal of powerand oftentimes operated as the ruler of their
own feudal territory. These lords andbarons often employed their own military force to
protect their ancestral estate and keep theirpeasants squashed beneath their gilded boots. At
(05:33):
certain points during the Hundred Years War, feuds and battles would form between British
and French nobility that would sort oftake on a life of their own,
wars within the war, if youwill, And it is within one of
these struggles that we find one ofthe most interesting conflicts in medieval history.
Jeanne de Beaumegnois was a French knightfrom Brittany, and in the early stages
(05:57):
of the Hundred Years War, hedeveloped a bitter feud with an English captain
named Robert Bembrow. The exact originsof their feud are unknown, but it's
not hard to guess to Beaumanois.Robert Bemborrow was an invader, a hostile
opponent who posed a threat to everythinghe held dear and to Bembrow. Jean
de Beaumanois was an obstacle in theway, a dangerous resistance fighter that stood
(06:23):
between him and his goal of spreadingand securing British interests. Even worse,
both men were well regarded for theirability on the battlefield. To the locals
in the area, the thought ofa Beaumannois and Bemborough fight would have felt
like Mike Tyson versus Muhammad Ali,the two best combatants of their time and
place pitted against each other in directcombat. And from what I've learned about
(06:46):
medieval noblemen, there are few thingsmore triggering to them than a challenge of
their ego. After a healthy amountof bickering and squabbling, Beaumannois rode to
Bemborrow's estate and challenged him to atest of honor. By some accounts,
the challenge was originally offered to bea joust, but Bemborough countered the offer
with his own unique idea. Thetwo deliberated and decided that on March twenty
(07:11):
seventh they would meet at a bigoak tree between the two estates. They
agreed to bring thirty of their bestwarriors, and they also agreed that it
would be a fight to the deathand that no warriors would be allowed to
flee. The sun rose on themorning of the twenty seventh, and the
two forces rode towards each other atthe agreed upon destination. A large crowd
(07:33):
had gathered to watch the bloodshed androot for the champions of their lord.
As soon as the two small armiesarrived, combat began immediately, at least
according to the chronicler Jeanne LaBelle.He wrote, soon after they had come
together, one of the Frenchmen waskilled, but the others did not leave
off fighting on this account. Butthey held themselves as valiantly on both sides
(07:57):
as if they had all been Rolandor Oliver. I do not know enough
to say truthfully if one side didbetter than the other. But they fought
so long that they lost all theirstrength in the ability to fight due to
lack of breath. And after hoursof tireless battle and numerous casualties on both
sides, the two small armies agreedto take a break for some much needed
(08:18):
wine, armor adjustments and strategizing.After the brief cease fire, the British
grouped into a tight formation. Theirarmor clanged as they marched back to the
battlefield. While this tight formation wouldhave probably been successful against the man to
man combat they had encountered before thebreak, the French came out with a
new strategy of their own. Asquire named Guillaume de Montubon mounted his horse
(08:43):
and ran straight for the British formation. The British scattered and tumbled like bowling
pins. The French moved in behindde Montubon and claimed eight British lives,
including the commander of their battle,Robert Bemborough. The English finally relented and
the French gathered their prisoners. Theymarched them to the city of Joscelyn,
(09:05):
where they were reportedly executed publicly.And just like that, the combat of
the thirty was over. But whathappened next certainly, such a monumental event
changed the course of the Hundred YearsWar. The warriors who valiantly fought for
their countries must be revered and hollowedinto this day. I hope you've detected
(09:26):
my not so subtle sarcasm. Thisbattle was extremely notable and important to the
people in that very small part ofFrance, especially as chroniclers like Jean le
Belle were able to attend and documentthe entire ordeal safely from the sidelines while
rooting for their preferred team, andit was a fairly well known event,
(09:48):
but it had almost no consequence.In fact, historian Stephen Muhlberger argues that
their reason the combat of the thirtywas such a notable event in the Hundred
Years War comes not from the consequenceor lack thereof, but rather from how
the battle was conducted. During theHundred Years War, chivalry was at its
peak. It was not that theFrench one that made it such a big
(10:11):
story. It was that it wason a neutral site, with an even
number of combatants, with similar resourcesand means. Equal combat was raged.
Both sides were shown respect and dignity, at least as much as could be
offered during mortal combat. In thegenerations after the Combat of the thirty the
narrative would be manipulated for more contemporarypurposes. At one point it was used
(10:37):
as a sort of anti aristocracy proworkers' rights ballad, and naturally, some
British authors and historians would later goon to claim that the French cheated by
allowing de Montaubon to charge the frontlines with his horse. In this we
can see that not much has changedto some battle is heroic and admirable.
To others, it is a tragedyand anguish. Is the duty of the
(11:00):
historian to weigh both narratives and cometo a reasonable and responsible conclusion, And
in this particular instance, our reasonableand responsible conclusion is that the combat of
the thirty is pretty entertaining to readabout, but at the end of the
day, it was sixty men riskingtheir lives for the ego of their boss.
Chivalrous, maybe honorable, probably notfoolish. Definitely. Thank you so
(11:50):
much for listening to today's episode.I've got a lot of brief announcements.
I always saved them towards the end. I was tempted to put something at
the beginning circumstances considered, however,I cannot break tradition. So here are
some updates. If you have listenedto the episode until this point, you
should know that Obscure History is backwith an asterisk. Here's what's been going
(12:15):
on in my life personally since thelast time you heard my voice in your
ears. My wife and I hada beautiful, bouncy, happy little baby
girl, and that has been amazing. Also, working tirelessly to get my
master's degree so I can keep myjob that's important and has taken a lot
of my time away from obscure History. Also, I have been working on
(12:41):
a couple of little obscure history relatedside projects. In fact, by the
time you're hearing this, or shortlyafter, maybe about a week after at
the very very most, the firstever Obscure History book will be available.
It is a short anthology about elevenepisodes inverted into more of a book friendly
(13:01):
version. I know that there area lot of people in the world that
would be interested in obscure history thatdon't listen to podcasts or don't like this
particular podcast, but maybe like theidea and the topics, and so to
reach a wider audience, I havechanged the way that I'm doing things quite
a bit. So everything that Iwrite, I'm going to basically write a
(13:24):
podcast version that sounds good to readto you, and then a book version
that is just slightly different that wouldbe better for maybe reading on your own.
Each book is going to be aboutsix by nine softcover, one hundred
twenty five to two hundred pages probablyat the most. That way I can
keep cost down. I have tolook at the numbers, but I'm pretty
(13:46):
sure that if I have crunched themcorrectly, if I do that, if
I do it that way, releasingthem in short paperbacks, people could get
them I think for less than tenbucks, which I think is a pretty
good deal considering you know what booksgenerally run. So if you know anybody
that might like this show but maybedoesn't like podcasts, be on the lookout
(14:11):
for that. You can follow thesocial media's to keep track of any updates.

you want to follow me in particularto get more life related updates, you
can follow me on Twitter at Joshzurbric Wrights or go to zerbric wrights dot
(14:31):
com. Like I said, ObscureHistory is back, and it feels so
good. I am sincerely like blownaway by the number of people that listened
to this show, even in theabsence of new episodes, Like hundreds of
people a month, like sometimes eventhousands of people a month still listening to
this show, even though I hadn'tput anything new out in months at this
(14:54):
point, nine months or so.It's incredible. It's like so humbling when
I started this project I never anticipatedthat it would take off the way that
it did, and the fact thatso many people enjoy it and continued to
enjoy it is just so humbling,and so it's such an honor and to
(15:16):
everyone that reached out since in theinterim between the last episode, in this
episode, I really appreciate you.I got some insanely nice messages from people
that were reaching out and letting meknow that they enjoyed a particular episode or
that they missed the show, andwe're just checking to see if it was
going to come back, and surprise, here it is. It's back,
at least with an asterisk. SoI won't be releasing episodes every week,
(15:39):
because that's just not reasonable, especiallyas I am doing sort of the podcast
version and book version. But Iam hoping to release at least one episode
a month. I think that's totallydoable, and as I'm a teacher in
summer break is just right around thecorner, I think that more than once
(16:00):
month is almost guaranteed, especially inthe summer. I've got a pretty good
break in my master's program coming up, so I should be a freeman at
least for a couple of months.Anyways, I am so grateful. Thank
you so much for listening to thisshow. I'm happy to be back and
take a look for the Obscure HistoryBook on Amazon. Probably by the time
(16:23):
you hear this, I think itshould be ready or shortly after. I've
always been terrible at closing this showout and going off script. Terrible at
it. Hate it. I'm reallybad at it. Gives me tons of
anxiety. But I think that Ineed a good like closing catch phrase and
I can't think of one. Soif you would, if you could think
(16:45):
of a good closing catch phrase forthis show, reach out on social media,
or you can email Obscure History potat gmail dot com with any ideas,
questions, or complaints. I appreciateyou and I'll talk to you. Zero
