Taking an arrow in the knee is a term used for proposing to a woman.

Tbh they taught history the wrong way in elementary and high school. All they taught you was the who, when and where. Soon as I went to college they focused more on the how and why which made it WAY more engaging. Best example is the industrial revolution. Most boring topic to learn about when all they tell you is when it happened and what happened but once you learn why it happened it’s really cool to see the innovations people were forced to come up with within the context of why we were forced to industrialize so quickly

Thats not how it works You cant visit school and say : " Omg all this boring stuff make me to not wanna learn this stuff omg so bad educator i got " The shool is here to teach you basics dosnt matter if you like them or not Kids like you literally crying cause youl need to learn something like my god grow up and get some balls.

For real tho 🐐

I lost my knee 4 years ago. I can confirm you would never walk again. l remained on a bed for 2 years, waiting for the elevated pain to subside, l was given a dual pain relief of Tramadol and Oxycodone, both highly addictive so l voluntarily withdrew from both of them after 16 weeks through fear of becoming an addict. I went on to lose everything in my life, to the point l begged to God to take my life, ( l do not believe in suicide). As of writing this l have the support of my dog, who's love sustains me. I dare to dream a future once more, and just like you, l do not cringe in the corner.

@@YllaStar95970 I believe that you can find a lot of things that you would love, just don't give up!

@@user-rw6rd7le8v l decided within days of this event to apply myself to study and so work towards new goals, it helped to pass the enormous time away, whilst in my room, and on my bed for those years. Ironically the rest of the world joined me at that time with the COVID lock downs. I gave a wry smile listening to other people's struggles with isolation and involuntary restrictions due to this fact. It would appear that many people did in fact give up, and still carry that legacy today. Coincidentally and quite by chance a near elderly male neighbour of mine was going through a similar fate as myself, his partner could not help him. He would have appeared to have given up by becoming overwhelmed with his new life, and so wanted to kill himself, this strain was etched across his partners face, until l left my unsuitable home, some while later. His partner literally ran out of ideas to support, care, and love for him. Nobody understood this change in his partners demeanor that had changed so dramatically , and for the seemingly worse so much. I understood, and also came to realise that in fact a mental disability can be in rare instances equal in magnitude to a severe physical disability. When something like this happens to you, you are presented with two choices, get busy living, or get busy dying. Choosing either one of these outcomes will eventually come true. For both of you.

@@YllaStar95970 Hope there is some surgery on the horizon that can help, and the love of a good dog. What accident could cause a knee loss like yours? If its too painful to discuss, no worries, keep your head up

@@alex4alexn l suffered a blood clot which tends to reach the extremities, if you are lucky. I had 3 operations in total, due to infection, l was initially a 30% disability assessed, but with two failed operations to save my knee, l became a TK which is an upgrade to a 60% disability. I have met other amputees, most keep their knees, even if they have both legs off, like Pistorius, believe me, he would not run without knees, or even walk. As l say, l am lucky, the clot could have rested in my brain, or my lungs, and so l would be dead now, like there appears to be after the recent vaccinations. I never took the vaccines, as there was an elevated risk of a clot, and having taken mine for the team, l encouraged those l loved to abstain too. It is why l said l lost everything, my job, my home, my money, my family, my savings, my pensions, but not my life. Some are not as lucky as me.👍

I’m not a big gamer myself, but I do enjoy history and random historical facts I can throw at my friends. This video popped up in my feed and this man has such a nice vibe to him. I just couldn’t scroll away. Glad I didn’t.

I don't want to spoil your fun, but when he says "took an arrow to the knee" he means he got married

Absolutely true. And, medicine has yet to determine why the body reduces the production of synovial fluid, allowing said cartilage wear to start. Overall, I've had 6 knee operations including Total Knee Reconstruction (ACL and meniscus) and Total Knee Replacement so, I've learned a little bit about knees and other joints.

Very good point! Probably a another point worth making is few people lived as long as today, so arthritis may not develop due to death of the individual first.

​@@mattandhollym7912surely the almost daily hard labour of farming would take its toll on the joints from an earlier age than the age-related causes for most people?

@@mattandhollym7912 I'm not 100% sure, but I do recall some remains found in England with bone spurs (osteophytes) in some hip joints. That must have been a tremendous amount of pain.

​@@neiloflongbeck5705 Yes and no. If you work non-stop from sunrise to sunset every year, without taking time to rest, yes, it's very likely people would've suffer from it. But if you had somebody, like your son, farming half a week and you the other half, you give your muscles a chance to develop in a way the supports joints. It's called "Proprioception feedback loop" if you're interest in learning more about it.

@@deepdrag8131 it was my pleasure, most of the time

I'd imagine it's partially because if it's a big enough chunk, there would then be a void that wouldn't necessarily fill in, which could cause some serious problems after removal, from filling with fluids to infection, and would always be a problem.

Maybe if you didn't go fight in a pointless war you wouldnt have had that issue... I have no respect for veterans past WW2.

He signed up for service. Soldiers follow orders. Direct your hate to those who caused it - Democrat/Rebublican establishment. Anybody who didnt vote Trump in 2020 voted for war, and is also part of the problem. Such people should keep any opinion about war to themselves.

Well I'm glad you've found us now Arthur, I hope you enjoy catching up 👍🏻 @arthurleggywulf

@@thehistorysquad I certainly have been enjoying a good binge of your videos!

I’m not sure if it’s meant to be an in-universe metaphor or a real life one though, since in Skyrim there is no down-on-one-knee ring proposals, and you just wear an amulet of Mara and basically confess to each other So other than it being an out of universe joke from the Devs, maybe people use it in real life? Idk

Was going to comment this as well. Don’t know if I could pull a reference but it was always my understanding that an arrow to the knee was a marriage.

​​@@BenAnderson48i used to be an adventurer like you once... unmarried. But then I took an arrow to the Achilles.

​@@assistantmagus5213The saying is not about proposal, as the commenter said. If you watched the video, you'll learn that taking an arrow to the knee means being crippled badly for life. At those times, you couldn't go on an adventure if you shattered your knee. You'd be bound to short distances. In Skyrim timeline, if you're an ordinary person, married and have children, you probably couldn't go on an adventure as you'd need to stay to feed and protect your family. In both cases, you'd be staying still.

As Todd Howard has revealed, they put almost zero thought into that line and just put it in there with a few other dozen lines. There's no lore or secret message behind it, it was just there, free of innuendo or context.

Never thought of it that way. Makes so much sense though.

Never even considered that myself.

@HaraldSedlmeyer There's always someone like you in the comments. Honey was known and used for its antibiotical properties and weapons and arrowheads were covered in feces (what I was referring to as poisoned in my initial comment). And other types of biological warfare. Of course they didn't know what bacteria where, but they still had a general understanding of hygiene and tried to prevent infections or used it to their advantage. Surgery existed, obviously not like today if that's what you mean with "real surgery". In wartime, your life expectancy wasn't good because it was, well, war. Otherwise you could actually live to old age.

Richard Lionheart would like to know if "crossbow bolts and potential infections" are also included in the class' program.

I don t think poisoned arrows were common. At least i never read about them in any history book about medieval times

@unhommequicourt I don't know how common it was, but it was done.

Just like the Ancient Civilizations Created Maize/Corn from the Wild Teosinte Plant. Maize/Corn would never naturally happen through nature. Maize/Corn is 100% dependent on human intervention.

Much appreciated!

Welcome aboard!

I made a small rupture on the (I believe that's the name in english) medial collateral ligament, so on the inside part of the knee. Might've been a strain like yours, but the doctor did call it a rupture. Anyway, I was in my teens, hurt like hell for about a week, then I could limp around mostly okay, but I limped for probably a month and it still wasn't at 100% after 2 months. Really can't imagine how much an arrow would have hurt. Bloddy knee still hurts from time to time, about 10 years later, but at least it also predicts the weather which is quite nice xD

Exactly! One time, i was trying to make a rubber - band and pvc pipe bamboo skewer launcher, and i pulled it back too far, making the skewer ricochet off the pipe straight into the side of my hand. Luckily, it didn’t hit anything that bled, but it hurt. I don’t think i could imagine that with a 10x weight arrow with a metal arrowhead and 5 times the speed straight to the knee would be like.

@@shhinysilver1720 Yeah, they're terrifying. A medieval archer would've likely used a bow with a draw weight of around 180lbs (80kg), usually resulting in the arrow travelling at about 200 feet per second (137mph). Most modern competition archers use bows with draw strengths of about 40lbs (18kg) and it tends to be more than enough to splinter targets and penetrate up to 6-7 inches (18cm) deep. Those targets tend to be made from a mixture of wood, construction foam and tightly woven straw so, I'd rather keep that away from my frail flesh. Lovely profile picture by the way.

No bow is going to be able to shoot through modern armor plates, but they can certainly penetrate "soft" armor as arrows are much heavier than bullets and the method soft armor uses to stop a bullet by distributing the force doesn't work well on a sharp point like an arrowhead. I think the weight is something media really gets wrong; a large arrow like that is a very beefy projectile that has a lot more weight behind it than even most rifle rounds even though it moves far slower. If it hits an unarmored person then as you say it's not going to be a little poke, it's going deep enough to hit vital things, that's what military bows were MADE to do!

@@andrewmoore7014 Actually you would see significant penetrative damage from a longbow to armor plates designed for low caliber rounds such as 9mm, handgun rounds broadly. Back in the day there was a ballistic test TV series called Battles across ages, where they'd test these kinds of ideas. A large draw longbow penetrated a series of protective plates, weaves and cylinders designed to fend off handgun rounds, and managed to crack some of the lower quality rifle armour. It was a fascinating show, highly recommend it if you can find an archive. Handgun cartridges are predominantly rounder in shape and have less penetrative capability than a rifle cartridge (ignoring the FN5.7x28), so something as sharp as an arrow exploits a weakness in lower caliber/grain plating that's designed more for dispersed stopping power. Like how an arrow would get stuck into wood but your fist would not.

Not only that some people (like the Mongolian archers i believe) used barbed arrows that tore the flesh as they were pulled out, quite brutal

Cheers, will do 👍

What do you mean by that ? Restoration isnt even a valid school of magic

Even if a mage were able to fully undo the damage, the trauma of the pain experienced may be enough to dissuade further adventuring

#1 Mages are rare. The player gets a skewed perception because they always start out with magic, but Mages are upper class individuals who have no time for the injuries of the poor. Temples offer healing, but it is far from free. #2 Most people don't have two gold to rub together. In a world where a common laborer makes 50 gold per day, and a single mead costs 55 gold, practically no-one can afford to hire a magical healer.
