You're awesome bro 😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nicely done video
Any updates about Prince Eugene video?
Make next part soon
"Volleys", didn't happen in actual war for except maybe the opening salvo, archers shot at their own best rate of fire.
The general perception of Charles VII being incompetent is completely inaccurate. This video clearly outlines that he was an extremely capable soldier/statesman. Well done again HistorMarche. This channel always an does an excellent job of outlining the grand strategic goals of the sovereign and not just battle tactics.
Nope. He was incompetent. That's why he achieved success for everyone. Competent people only serve their own clique.
@@NelsonDiscovery i
@NelsonDiscovery I believe Charles VII of France was more hesitant than incompetent despite his poor decisions regarding Joan of Arc's contributions to France. Overall, Charles VII reminds me of Union General George McClellan, who was also too hesitant/cautious during the height of the Civil War yet, like the King, was an excellent organizer of the military.
He, too, has been highly controversial to some degree. Ironically, McClellan was named "Little Napoleon." & "Little Mac," however, he was more like Napoleon's chief of staff, Berthier, who had no knack for military science yet was an effective steward of logistics & overhaul of Union forces with their training, etc. Berthier overhauled the Grand Armee's organizational & administrative efficiency to the apex of Napoleon's military success in the early years of his career & reign.
Another example could be said of Captain Sobel from the 101st Airborne Division (from Band of Brothers), which paints the man very negatively throughout the series until you realize later on that Captain Winters & everyone gave him credit for training them to prepare for the horrors ahead during WW2 despite not loving the man & calling him incompetent with maps, etc
Is it by Charles order or he only need to sign the order??? Need more proof
It's not charles VII who's view as incompetent, but his father,
Charles VI
15:25---Narrator: "With the forest stretching along the Lj'Aure River blocking his view towards the south..." Arthur de Richemont: "North, actually..." Timely and most clever correction there HistoryMarche!
And he shoulndt say "the l'Aure", since the "l' " is the short of "le", meaning "the". It's like he said "the THE Aure".🤓
@@yansoloooo Correct. This grammatical transgression deserves a wrist-slap, or at least a couple lashes with a wet noodle.
Are you afraid viewers won't correct this themselves ? Mistakes are what make us human I guess. :) Great video ! From a Norman born in Bayeux :)
In France, Charles VII's nickname is "the victorious" because he won the hundred years war. He set up the basics of French modern state and army. ❤
Thanks to Joan of Arc.. without her, there would be no United France.
@@comicgenius21 total bullshit. The English had been kicked out of France except Calais and Bordeaux by 1375 ; only reason reason they came back is because of a civil war regarding who should hold the regency for Charles VI. Read on the subject man, you've been told lie upon lie by English propaganda because they wanna make it seem like they almost had it. Truth is : they never even got close
@@comicgenius21she die nothing except the siege of Orleans
@@osowiecwalking9434she motivated the troops 85 years into a loosing war
@@comicgenius21 and without the english navy, england would not be english
I appreciate all the context that accompanies the great battle videos.
This is the key.
It's one thing to do a play-by-play recreation of a battle from, say, the War of Spanish Succession or the Umayyad expansions, but without context about what those overall wars/campaigns were about and why the battle mattered, the videos would be very unaccessible to most viewers.
yeah so entertaining watching those squares beating the shit out of each other
@@dogwater6793 not sure if you're being genuine or sarcastic, but i absolutely am enthralled by little dancing squares...
Very good job, one of the few English speaking channel that doesn't choose the battles regarding English performances
hundred years war . one of my fav periods in history of both England and France. thank you historymarche . your big fan from Sri Lanka. the war is one of the bloodiest periods in history . again thnks for posting this video.

I'm not sure whether I've commented on any of your videos yet. I'm an American and, for the past year, I've been digging into my genealogy as a gift for my family. In the past month I've discovered that I am a lineal descendant of Jean de Dunois; specifically, he is my 15th-great-grandfather. A long way back, I know. It's my understanding that his nickname « le bâtard d'Orléans » arose not so much from his low birth as from his illegitimacy. He was adopted into the family of his natural father, Louis d'Orléans, and raised by Louis' wife, Valentina Vosconti.
A search for Jean de Dunois here sent me down the rabbit hole of your channel and your videos about the Hundred Years' War. Your videos make it clear that the Bastard of Orléans is an ancestor worthy of honor. I'm happy to have found them. Thank you.
The narrator is excellent , he employs a dramatic tone of voice , but not over dramatic , his pronunciation is super good , and the English accent is a real killer . I love that English accent , which by the way is a fitting accent in itself , for historical narrations
there’s a few different commentators, but this gentlemen is fantastic. One of my favorite channels.
Plus he apparently knows how to pronounce French names and locations properly.
@@jonshive5482 Yes , and that could not be more appropriate, if what you are narrating is a French-English conflict !…
As a native English speaker, I must say the accent feels slightly "off". The emphasis and pace is rather odd. Additionally, no Englishman worth their salt would pronounce French names and locations with that degree of accuracy. It is an unwritten rule that we English mangle French pronunciation at every opportunity.
@@bernardotorres4659 its an English accent NOT a British accent
I'm guessing the reason Charles VII chose to split his forces is that he didn't want to give the English a single target to concentrate against. So, instead of a single large army, he deployed his forces in several smaller armies, and used them to overwhelm the English from multiple directions.
The French totally learned from their mistakes.
This would actually be the inspiration for Napoleon a few hundred years later when he developes the corp system for mini armies that had their own horse, infantry, artillery, and skirmishers to work effectively on their own instead of a large main force.
@@evanpeacock6103 I think he was probably more inspired by Roman legions, since they would have been much more iconic and widely used, but it is definitely possible that he actually took inspiration from this moment, given his interests in history.
@Kongolese King absolutely. They were more focused on the "social status" of the cavalry component to win battles, given how the nobility kept repeating the same disastrous results against the English, and not properly ulitizing the strength of the cavalry at critical moments.
They would, unfortunately would go back to that flawed strategy in the coming centuries until Napoleon reformed the military to the Corp System
@@evanpeacock6103 Naopleon was mostly inspired by Hannibal Barca, therefore if this tactic of creating military divisions was adopted by Napoleon with inspiration from Charles 7th, then Charles must in turn have been inspired by Hannibal too, because Hannibal had Divisions within his Armies in Italy in the 2nd Punic War.
Nothing is as pleasing to the ears as
"To the South at CarontOn, John the BoobOn, The Count of ClermOn"
Always informative AND entertaining, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ultra Happy French noises
😂
😆
ahhh mhhhh bonjour bonjourrrrrrr
😂🎉🎉🎉
Hon hon hon
I like how much care you take
to pronounce names in their own language, it makes your videos more immersive, your one of the few history channels to do that, please continue doing that.
But "Charl-A" is not the French pronunciation of Charles...
@@AGS363 hes still pronouncing the names of all the cities in french.
if its not "Charl-A" then how do you say it in french?
Char-le, but not "tcha" like and english monarch, more as "sh-ar-l"
@@grimgorironside Honestly just say "Tcharlz" as you usually do in english, there's no real point in trying to do it in a "french" way if the name you're trying to pronounce is common to both languages and everyone knows what it is.
@@nolletthibault2031 its interesting to know how the people around him actually said his name thats all, i know it doesnt make much of a difference.
I'm always puzzled by the English fascination with the 100 years war. The English Kings and nobility of that period were French, spkoe only French in court, wanted to retain their families French possessions, and expand it, at the coat of English blood... I see it as a French Civil War, with a faction that held the English Crown, vs the faction that held the French Crown. I.e. Capetians vs Plantagenet/Angeirs.
However this detail is always overlooked on text books, movies and documentaries, as if the English want to forget that from Henry of Normandy to the Early Renaissance, their Kings were Frenchmes that didn't even bother to learn their language. Until this day, the English Royal Motto, is a French one: Dieux et mon droit.
Edward III, the King of England at the onset of the Hundred Years War, is considered by historians to be the first truly English king of the Plantagenet line. After the seige of Calais, Edward stated his wish to repopulate the town with "pure englishmen", and expelled the French. From these words and actions we can infer Edward III did not consider himelf French. As for his nobility - well, the English nobility had not been seen as French since as early as the reigns of Henry II and Richard I, during which tournament records call the English knights English. Many normans considered themselves English since the second generation after the 1066 conquest. Also, Henry IV, Henry V, and Henry VI - the three final English kings of the war - all spoke English as their mother-tongue. The troops which fought on the English side during the war were, with no question, mostly Anglo-Welsh, and finally, the Kingdom of England is a seperate political entity to the Kingdom of France.
From this I think we can conclude that the Hundred Years' War was not a French civil war. As for the fascination with it, well this is the war during which a sense of English nationalism came to be. It produced famous encounters such as the Seige of Orleans and the Battle of Agincourt, and national heroes emerged on both sides - Joan d'Arc and Henry V.
Personally, as an Englishman, I am fascinated by the wars because they are interesting to be sure but also our defeat in them helped to establish a truly English identity once our continental holdings had been finally lost and we forced to look both internally and beyond Europe.
@@sirgoo9962 the English you're talking about, was heavily bastardized by said norman conquerers. Old English has little to do with English of 14th century. English today is the most latinized germanic language in Europe, not by accident.
So yes, we can see the beginning of the 100 years war as a civil war, and the end as the final definition of both Kingdoms.
I love the way the Normans in 1066 are totally 100% French and the king of England in 1453 is totally 100% French.
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 I would not say 100% for the king of England in this period, more like between 50 and 70%.
The Normans on the opposite were kind of local "French" in 1066 (France wasn't really a thing back then), they were assimilated to local latinized people.
King of England in 1453 spoke English (latinized English), not French as first language.
This battle felt more like a early modern battle than a medieval one.
It’s very late in the medieval era. Many people consider 1453 to be the end of the Middle Ages with the end of the Hundred Years’ War and the fall of Constantinople. We are also well into the Renaissance by now.
Wonderful stuff as usual. Great job!
Thank you for a great video on a phase of the hundred years' war I haven't seen much about on youtube.
@@Cancoillotteman lol To be fair I see the same bias just about everywhere.
Anglosaxons just dominate the world. So most battles will have seen them victorious. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of interesting history that didn't involve any anglosaxons. And History Marche has been very good in enlightening such topics as the struggle between Byzantium and the Bulgar Empires, The rivalry between Islam and the Chinese Empire, The Jughurtine Wars (or was that House Of History?) and many others.
Your videos are very professional and, as far as I can tell, honest and historically accurate. Superb work.
i cannot stop watching your content. Thank you.
Glad you enjoy it!
I just have to thank you for making videos like these. They're incredibly informative with how battles tended to go in these ages. I'm going to write a fantasy medieval book, and so learning about tactics by watching these videos is a great help!
Beautiful military operations by France.
Yeah, finally some competent men noticing weaknesses and exploiting them correctly. And FINALLY the nobility isn't fucking it up. It's... It's beautiful. 🥺😭
Definitely best narrator is David McCallion! thanks History Marche for the video.
@HistoryMarche is seriously the best channel on RUclips.
wow! i really enjoy all your videos, this one is no exception! thank you guys!
As someone who can’t read French, I’ve always relied on English sources for history 😢and they portray France as lazy, numerous, and weak, while English are few, industrious and brave.
Hard to picture england bumming around for two yrs while France Re-arms, but I guess the sources were biased to begin with. 😅
You have to understand England was a poor irrelevant nation that nobody in Europe cared about. When England started the 100 years war it was the equivalent of Mexico starting a war with the USA. When the English won battles it shocked the whole of Europe, when the French won battles it was merely expected. Even the king of France was forced to admit "the flower of chivalry of the whole world is with England" is the early stages.
By the time of Henry VI, the English had taken so much wealth from France and spent it all face-lifting churches and castles across England that it was a totally different place to what it was 100 years before. The Lancastrian element just wanted to live the high life and party, they wanted to spend on luxury and they abused Henry VI's mental state to live in comfort and having wild parties. The Yorkists under Duke Richard were the tough guys, hard men of war and were actually more loyal to the house of Lancaster than the Lancasters were at the time ( Henry IV and Henry V). Duke Richard wanted to keep alive the legacy of Henry V but it was too late, England was a fractured nation, France was lost and the War of the Roses broke out. If Duke Richard of York had of been king instead of Henry VI, France today would be a slave of England.
True is neither blue or red but always in between, i do highly recommend you some RUclips channels like « ARTE » and « Nota Bene » good content with translation in English 😉
@@naincompetent4438
Nota Bene the leftist ?
Certainly not.
English beeing biased on french ? really ?? 🤣🤣
@@afisto6647there is no leftist or rightists history. History is a science. He invites historians and share his sources. Not like some « rightist » who use history for gossips or tot talk arts or architecture like Stephane Bern or Frank Ferrand .
Wow! What an incredibly crushing and one-sided victory.
Even more one sided, search the battle of « Patay » (johan of arc was there)
And speaking of english history i can't wait to see more videos on the Anarchy! The rise of the Plantagenets!😊😊😊
The Anarchy was mostly siege warfare, not what I expected many viewers would find interesting.
@@antorseax9492 siege warfare is also very interesting, a desperate struggle for weeks or months, loads of little movements to try and get the upper hand and a lot of action
@@chezburger1781 You're preaching to the choir - how do you think I knew the Anarchy was largely siege warfare?
A lot of viewers won't care for 'loads of little movements', especially over a period of months. God, YT is the only place some people learn history.
@@chezburger1781 I literally explained that I do like siege warfare...
Many, or just you?
Good more Hundred years war! love this series!
How isn't this channel up to one million subscribers yet? Fantastic videos
Greatly appreciate your videos. Plz create videos on the Dutch Revolt or the 80 Years War.
The 'Garde Ecossais(Scotish Guards)' founded 1418,didn't get properly formalised and strengthened until this period(mid-late 1440s).👌👍
Love your content man! Youre one of the best!❤❤❤
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL SO MUCH AND I HOPE CONTINUE MAKING A VIDEO OF SIEGE OF ACRE
Another great video. Yall do a great job.
Always excellent! Thank you!
3:47 3:49
It's a great morning with a historymarche upload
Thanks for the good work, it's trully interesting. I'm from Beauvais, and it's crazy to think that Gournay en Bray and Compiègne, both roughly half hour away by car nowadays, would have been back then respectively in English Normandy and in Burgondy.
Wonderfully done!
The English idiocy here is mind-blowing. No matter Henry VI was overthrown.
Very high standard as always but careful, Jean Dunois was called "batard d'Orléans" because he was the illegitimate son of Louis de Valois, duke of Orléans and his mistress. In these days bastard was not used as an insult but at what it meant. Dunois was of very noble status as his father was the brother of King Charles VI (so he was an uncle of king Charles VII which makes Dunois a cousin of the king).
Thanks. Yes, indeed, a bit more about Dunois will be mentioned in my upcoming video, the Siege of Orleans.
Thank you for this very interesting video! Will you be making videos about the battles of Patay (1429) or Castillon (1453)?
Hopefully both!
Enjoyed and appreciate the vids!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video as usual!
I'm curious why you use your own portraits instead of historic portraits for characters like Henry VI and Charles VII. I find those portraits very different from portraits I see elsewhere depicting them
Wow I’m here early. Great videos as always!
Thanks for the super high quality and amazing video. I am sorry i missed the video as i went to get a Hannibal Barca book about me. Thanks once again for these amazing videos.
Great video as always! And great pronunciation too!
A great chain of history. This battle and the political context are very well explained.
03:46
It seems that Charles the VIIth understood better the importance of interbranch cooperation in combat, of movement, than too many of our generals and politicians in the years leading up to the 2nd WW.
What a shame.
Some French trying to explain the usual why did ww2 hit so hard
Thank you for your hard work.
Love the videos. My favorite history/battle channel
Best history channel ever 🥰
Awesome as usual
I'd love to see you cover the Imjin War.
Great video as always :D
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I just love this channel ❤❤
Ty for another great video
Thanks for the great content
bro please talk about babeyn war in next video Salahaddin's army 2000.vs. The Crusaders are fighting with an army of 30,000 men. When Selahattin won this legendary battle, King Amarlic and Nureddin Zengi congratulated Salahadd.
Lmao I love how Henry was so pityful that Charles send him money after conquered his territories hahaha
Thanks for another terrific video!
Good video. Thank you.
Could you make a video about what the Ottoman regular army was like at its peak in the future? I only find videos talking about janissaries. Hugs from Brazil.
As always, excellent 👍
Left us all on the Cliff hanger haha NICE!!!! amazing!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support. Very kind of you!
Thanks for the video
Rise of Caesar Augustus Part 6? or something continuing from that point I would deeply appreciate it.
Hello, could you take into account that the duchy of Britany was independant from France until 1532 ? Therefore, your map of the kingdom of France should at leat marks a little difference between both territory. Thank you (and for your great videos too !)
Brittany was not independent. Legally, it was a fief of the Kingdom of France since the 10th century. They recognised the French King as their overlord. Like Burgundy
on commence a en avoir raz le cul de votre remaniement de l'histoire.
le duché de bretagne a disparu linéage et population en 870. son dernier toi meurt la population est massacré pendant 30 ans par les vikings.
a l'issue le roi de france trouvera un compromis avec les vikings les laissants s installer sur ces terres. avec un repeuplement franc.
suite a ça les duc barons etc seront tous FRANÇAIS. et la bretagne si on considère les 50 ans d 'independance entre 900 a 1520 a été totalement sous influence domination française hormis la guerre de cent ans.
Now Englishmen go to Normandy, refuse to learn a word of french. They feel still at home 😃. I like the enthusiasm of narrator !
France conquered England for 300 years, the French go to England.. a conquered country.. as they say in France (England a French colony) 😙
scoots in history marche are OP💀💀
Brilliant. Thank you.
Thanks great job
the greatest history show ever!!!!
It's always going to sound weird to hear "Leftenant". Lieutenant doesn't have an "f".
For British army, it is leftenant
Great vídeo!
Thanks much, interesting- especially je vous remercie pour les nombreuses traductions des sous-titres:)
One person really - Joan of Arc. She sparked the French turnaround.
Commenting for the YT AI overlord to get this going in the algorithm because this channel consistently puts out quality content
Sweet a new video from Kings and Generals! Your one of my favorite channels!
Is this a joke?
@@lucasst-denis6316 I can't express fondness to a channel or what? Who are you the F@¢king thought police!
Wrong channel.
Very good videos: congratulations. Juste keep in mind that in French "L' " stands for Le / La if the following word starts with A-E-I-O-U-Y. So the river called "L' Aure" should be translated like "The Aure River". If you say "The L' Aure river" you juste say "the" twice. Nice work for everything else.
Thanks
Thank you so much for the support. Very kind of you.
Danke!
Thank you very much for the support. So kind of you.
Enjoyed it.. Fantastic vid
Awesome!!
Great video.
What a great video!🙌
Following your clear explanation, the French and English commanders both seemed to be very competent. The only exception would seem to be the English failure to continue blocking the Loire crossing. The attempt to redeploy their army when the French reinforcements arrive from the South looks risky but what choice did they have. The coordination between the French commanders is impressive, particularly in the light of the lack of cooperation in the early stage of the war.
I love your maps
War.
It's faaantastic.
Thanks from Brazil and for subs in portuguese.
Love this battle!
Well done thank you
Great video😊
"they agreed not to attack into the bottleneck"
The French certainly learned that the hard way!
Azincourt "cough"
@@gisrele too bad the English didnt learn from their victory and did the very same mistake at the battle of Baugé
Muito bom 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent video
It’s crazy how much political situations can have an effect on the ground in war.
One of the main reasons why the English found success in the conflict was due to the lack of centralisation of the french monarchy- leading to divisions that the English took advantage of. Now the same happens to the sadly mentally ill Henry VI.
Nah French > brItiSh
