86. A Brief History Of Medieval Serial Killers | A Day In History

Serial killers. Nations become glued to their televisions or news feeds when just the suspicion of a serial killer roams in their midst. The term serial killer has only been used since the late 1800s, and the term was used to describe the infamous and still unknown “Jack the Ripper” of Victorian England. Imagine a time when none of that existed, and where the upper class did not only live better, more luxurious lives, in many places, and at many times, they could kill with impunity. The ancient serial killers we have more knowledge about are those in the very upper and/or ruling classes.Today in this video we shall uncover some of the most notorious serial killers of the medieval age, people like Liu Pengli, Gilles de Rais, Vlad the Impaler, etc.#serialkillers #history #medieval #weirdhistory Scriptwriter: Matthew GaskillVideo Editor & Motion Graphics: Naman MeeraVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Copyright © 2021 A Day In History.
