The King Who Thought He Was Made of Glass: Charles VI of France

He was born to rule the most powerful kingdom in medieval Europe. But by the end of his life, he believed a single touch could shatter him like glass… This is the traumatising story of King Charles VI of France, a ruler so consumed by madness that he wrapped himself in iron, refused to bathe, and transformed his royal court into a theatre of delusion. From the Bal des Ardents inferno to the horrifying rituals he performed to protect his "glass body," this is one of history’s most chilling psychological descents. But behind the madness lies a kingdom in crisis and a mind at war with itself. In this video, you'll see: Why did an entire nation bend to a king’s hallucination? How did this delusion rewrite the future of France? And what happens when the throne is ruled not by power… but by fear?
