Maximinus Thrax: The Primitive Emperor of Rome

Maximinus Thrax: The Barbarian Emperor of Rome 16 Apr 2024 --- #rome #biography Nothing lasts forever. Today we remember the might of the Roman Empire but it could not go on endlessly. When exactly the decline began is something for historians to debate, but we can argue that the empire reached its peak in the 2nd century AD, during the reigns of the Five Good Emperors, and slowly went downhill afterward. Then, that slow decline fell off a cliff 50 years later when the end of the Severan Dynasty brought about a long period of great instability and weakness known as the Crisis of the Third Century. And this upheaval was triggered by the violent and murderous reign of a giant of a man, a Thracian barbarian known as Maximinus Thrax. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

WILLIAM PALMER: The Notorious Crimes and Prosecution of the Prince of Poisoners

WILLIAM PALMER: The Notorious Crimes and Trial of the Prince of Poisoners 14 May 2024 --- #truecrimestories #crime #doctor Charles Dickens described William Palmer as “the greatest villain that ever stood in the Old Bailey dock.” Other writers and journalists of the day awarded Palmer other monikers such as “the Rugeley Poisoner” and the almost-complimentary epithet “the Prince of Poisoners.” And then, when William Palmer was due to hang, over 35,000 people crowded the streets of Stafford to witness the grisly event, with some even camping overnight to find good spots as if they were attending a festival or waiting for the new pair of Jordans to drop. So what did Palmer do to earn such a fearsome reputation? The crime that earned him a trip to the gallows was the murder of his friend John Cook with strychnine. However, looking back at his history, it was hard not to notice that so many other people in Palmer’s life died in suspicious circumstances, often with him profiting from their deaths. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
