The Ottoman Sultans did not marry, but had only concubines. Concubines were slaves, in fact. This avoided some political conflicts, giving the Sultan unilateral power. The Sultan was expected not to have more than one child with any given concubine. And the heir, at some point, usually found it necessary to kill all his brothers in order to avoid civil war. This empire lasted 800 years, which shows a surprising stability! Toward the end, when the Empire was in decline, the Sultan chose one concubine and had all his children by her, and ultimately married her.

I was particularly disappointed. Large segments were not about the Middle Ages in western Europe. Henry 8 to my mind is not mediaeval. And mistresses are not wives.
@TheFirstManticore
"Frowned upon divorce..."! Divorce did not exist. Annulment existed, infidelity existed (frowned upon by the Church). This is in Christian countries, of course.

Those kings were the definition of gluttinous both with food and with wives smdhh
@diamondtiara84
Some people think if Jane Seymour had lived, there wouldn't have been anymore wives, and they would have been happy. I wonder if that would have been true.

Why does it take 22 minutes and 12 seconds to answer the question? This should be a 5 second video!
@dustinf11
Is this the same voice as the ACG gaming channel? Buy, wait for sale or never touch? These guys sound pretty similar. Not a bad thing.

This video had a section that repeated itself verbatim. 🙄 16:52 and then again literally one minute later at 17:52

This is AI generated content. Take it with a grain of salt. Any information that's not referenced is worthless since its accuracy is dubious. For accurate and high quality info on the medieval period, I recommend https://youtu.be/LDuWF3T1P-4?si=nIlm47kILoAdVjGT channel

0:30 "only one wife at a time". Renly: I'm ok with that.
@kentjensen4939
How many of these wives really had any choice?
@paulahorvath7187
Try to stick to medieval illustrations. The material is out there!
@HisMiraclesHappening

@SonjaMorrison-i7j

1:48 G. Khan: He had so many wives, his male descendants, today, are upto 16 million. I'm so glad that this video raised the issue: I'm here in los angeles. I've made observations of the different ethnicities + a country's people, that are here. Some years ago, I came to the conclusion that some kings + rulers must have, to try to assure Their genetic line, Survives into posterity, that they took to themselves, hundreds of wives, And had hundreds of kids, that today, some cultures have the same face. I'm of the mind, that the ruler must have had so many wives, That it is the reason the some people of a certain country, tend to have the same face. This is only my opinion.
@JosephBagadonuts
Can a count have more wife's 🎉 since counting is their title?
@katrinashaw3174
Henry VIII wasn't a medieval king. This was the beginning of early modern history. Good videos but please check that your content actually is about the medieval period
