Hello everyone and welcome back to Scary Interesting and to another collection of horrible fates.

In this video, we're going to go over three horrifying stories of people who put their trust in the wrong person.

in human history. Fields like astronomy, anatomy, geography, and mathematics were heavily

wasn't always met with the same enthusiasm as scientific

discoveries or innovations that improved the lives of the average person.

The 16th century in particular was marked by a massive theological change.

As a result, they were persecuted because the movement was seen as a threat to the Catholic

Church.
