Why Feudalism Collapsed: Plague, Revolts, and Gunpowder Chaos

2025-09-23 29 Dailymotion

Welcome to History on the Run — where the past isn’t boring, it’s chaotic, hilarious, and usually on fire.

⚔️ Today’s story:
We’re diving into the dramatic end of feudalism — the system that promised order but mostly delivered back-breaking labor, bad diets, and lords who couldn’t balance a ledger if their life depended on it. From the Great Famine and the Black Death, to angry peasants storming castles, to knights getting wrecked by longbows and cannons, this is the story of how the medieval world fell apart.

What came next? Towns full of merchants counting coins, bankers loaning money to kings, and the Renaissance turning Europe into an art gallery with extra capitalism on the side.

🎧 Perfect for:
• History fans who like sarcasm with their storytelling
• Background listening on commutes or workouts
• Anyone who enjoys watching knights lose to farmers with sticks and string
• People who secretly think the Middle Ages were a bit overrated

📺 What to expect:
• 1 hour+ of fast-paced storytelling
• Revolts, plagues, and gunpowder galore
• A sarcastic but truthful look at how feudalism collapsed
