I'm not going say anything at all about this guy's pronunciation, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day this is still a clear, understandable and articulate description of this famous battle and he's obviously knocked himself out making it. Kudos. The moral of this as it had been at Crecy and as it would be again at Agincourt was the same; don't run out of arrows.
The French King and his son were abandoned by his knights and was found sculking in a wood by a man at arms William de Birch. As he could not speak French he took the King and his son to his Lord who yn turn took him to the Black Prince. William de Birch was awarde the Arms of the King. This has remained the coat of Arms of the family since that date.
I will be honest I get my history from Bernard Cornwall, but didn’t the kings own brother lead his men as if to fight then off the field to escape!!!! What an out house as not to use bad language lol should’ve been hunted and executed for treason, being a coward as the least he can have shared his belief it was unwinable and told the king his intention of saving his life and the lives of his men so his own brother could have retreated rather than surrender so as not to come up with terms. However that would have meant us missing out on a win we nearly or at least considered surrender ourselves , good old England and just over 3 centuries of the Normans possibly making us a force to be recode with.
French knight: Look sire! A large, wide field with an uphill run offering no cover. At the end we see the English position fortified on the right and left with a daunting hedgerow in the front. They seem to possess several thousand longbowmen. French king: Perfect! We shall charge them straight on then, that always works.
Arrogance and years of victory via the noble knights leading to functional blindness, probably connected to the high status of the knights and disdain for the commoners shooting those longbows.
But unfortunately there were many other battles… .. The last battle of the Hundred Years War was that of Castillon on July 17, 1453, during which the English leader John Talbot was killed. With this French victory, King Charles VII is on the way to reconquer the English possessions of King Henry VI. It only remains to besiege the city of Bordeaux to take over the province of Guyenne in its entirety. At the same time in England Henry VI lost his reason, which led the country into civil war. On October 19, 1453 Bordeaux, which could not count on the arrival of help, capitulated. It is the end of the military operations of the Hundred Years War. But this conflict so particular - because of its length and its unfolding - has the singularity of not having a treaty signifying its end.

Very interesting and well done. I love the description of leaders on both sides. The maps are great. Overall CGI was very good. The close up battle scenes got a little long and hard to follow. I also like how you describe the results of battle and political complications. I didn't realize the English controlled so much of France as a result of this and other battles. Overall A+ video.
Just in case you missed it, this is an *interesting* episode in history. This narrator sounds like he is giving a lecture to eeyore on the futility of existence!
@@CHIL2903 You need to hear words spoken correctly before you can do it yourself, however well-read you are. Otherwise you're not going to know that dauphin is pronounced doe-fan, for example.
@@cdeford I agree but given the amount of online resources to do so today, it wouldn't be too difficult to hear a correct pronunciation and make such presentations as this, less grating to the ear, thereby lessoning and questioning the undoubted quality of his work and research. I've toured the major sites in the 100 years war, as well as the WWI ones of the Western Front (an area that's been fought over since Adam was a lad!) and heard all sorts of pronunciations, from both the French and English guides and academics. Take your dauphin/doe-fan example for instance, I've heard it uttered more without the final hard" N" , it being, if at all present, merely a nasal intonation. The French are good when it comes to nasal intonations! I'd love to hear his take on Edward I's dust ups with the Welsh in the late 12 hundreds, there would be some real jaw breakers there. 😉
@@CHIL2903 Totally agree,it's a common failing amongst YT 'historians' that they ruin potentially good uploads by demonstrating their ignorance of correct pronunciation which can't be excused when almost all references show a phonetic example. Just lazy I guess .... or perhaps the result of drinking half a bottle of Night Nurse which might also account for the dynamic diction!
@@christopherfranklin972 100% Christopher! Another annoying one I forgot from this video was "dook" instead of duke, where the d takes on a j sound as in juke. These pronunciations may sound OK to "colonials" ears 😉 but it certainly diminishes the presentation to those who know how the honours, titles and even places should be pronounced. Night Nurse? Something a little stronger me thinks. 😉 Fair do's though, credit where it's due for tackling such a subject and the hope that such criticism/feedback results in making future works even better. Imagine a narration by the likes of Richard Burton! That bloke could recite the 'phone book to a sold out O2 stadium!
"Colonist" here. This man put in good work and should be commended for it and I admit some of the words were "off" but people improve their product given time. Do not be critical for your nature's sake. Cheerio.
My French uncle lives in Angers but he says the river runs red in Potier due to French blood after the Welsh first retreated to the woods then attacked with hand weapons such as pole axes and halbards.
10:53 to my knowledge Walter was actually a German noble, I could be very wrong, but since many German counts were also counts and barons in France it makes a lot of sense that he held some titles in France.
The Black Prince..(so called after either his Armour or hair color) was a real Bad ass ! He also held a 'round table' of his best Knights at Winchester & (I believe) Windsor. Merry Old England !
Hi, Micky Mantle! Edward, the Black Prince, received that nickname because of the black-coloured steel armour he wore in battle and at tournaments. Good work, Mad Biscuit!
@@amadbiscuit Nevermind that! 😄I’ve lived in many countries & my 🏠 is nowhere & everywhere! Besides it’s not easy a name to pronounce! Your channel is really interesting, this is what matters! 😊 It’s a small city with the feel of a big city. The nearby Futuroscope helps in this respect. It was voted second and also first city in France for quality of life.
This is a very interesting subject and I appreciate the narrator. However, it would considerably better if the narrator would speak more clearly with accurate pronunciation.
I combined assets from multiple different mods into one single mod. And I used Gimp to create custom textures for the new armors I made. If you are interested, the YT channel Astartes gaming has a good tutorial on how you can do this: ruclips.net/video/JHUd-Pp-SSw/видео.html
@@amadbiscuit yeah thanks, but did you put the black Prince and henry V for exemple inside the "la guerre des cent ans" folder or was it a completely new mod?
@@jasonsmith1158 Vincent's been watching too much of Lawrence Olivier's, Henry V, Jason. 😉Also, the sport of archery is known as toxophily, its adherents being toxophilites. The word shares roots with toxin/toxic, etc. (toxon = bow, Greek)
@@CHIL2903 Yes the Greeks were masters at concocting poisons and dip their arrows in them to inflict certain death in battles. So we now understand how and why the word "toxic" is used today.
This account of the battle of Poitiers is, on a few points, not in conformity with what the historians have written , especially Frossard and the local chroniclers, who credited the french forces and their allied with at least 20000 men (instead of 11000); which explained that, at first, the english prefered to escape. They say also that the Captal de Buch attacked the rear of the french from the west, not from the east, where the french were strong, and where they had withdrawn (a map on the battlefield shows this). Generally speaking the vassals of the king of France were not confident with the military talents of their king (and of his brother) and feared to be captured and pay a ransom.
A useful summary of the battle, thank you. Some notes on pronunciation: 'Scotland', not 'Scatland'. 'Dyook', not 'Dook'. 'Solsbry', not 'Salissberry'. 'Worrik', nor 'Warwik'. 'Suffuk', not 'Suffoke'. 'Doh-fan' not 'Dah-feen'. 'Pwa-tee-ay' not 'Poy-tears'
I have been recently interested in this world of animated battles, I don't know what have you used to do it, but to achive a cleaner animation, you can use After effects, greats from spain 👍😁
There has been a very importend battle for whole Europe too at Poitiers in 732 when the Franks under Karl Martell stopped the muslim invasion from Spain which now is nearly completed in the end !
It's ironic how the french were ironically defeated in the end by being encircled by the enemy cavalry when they had their own cavalry at the start of the battle that simply got wasted charging the well-entrenched english
It was Robert Ufford not William, who did not become earl until 1369. The Uff in Ufford rhymes with cuff and huff. BTW Beauchamp is pronounced Beecham.
Haha yes it would. My understanding is the black prince did not actually wear a helmet like that into battle. But he may have worn something similar during tournaments. In any case, I thought it looked cool. That was one historical inaccuracy on my part.
Would a shield wall like those used by the Romans have been effective against longbows? And if so why didn't the french use those tactics, like build bigger shields?
The steel heads of the Welsh arrows were forged to pierce armoured breastplates and shields. A primitive shield wall defence would have failed under the force of Welsh Archers firing directly through such a defence. Archers did not fire upwards in wide arcs of shafts, but more directly at their targets, much like later musketeers.
@@amadbiscuit Hey Also look This NEW one "The New Medieval Mod Is Going To Change Everything In Mount & Blade II Bannerlord" am taking a look at the Dell'arte della guerra, a mod that is set in the 15th century (1474-1494) in Europe and the Middle East. The mod will allow the players to participate in many of the great wars of the time such as The War of the Roses, Burgundian Wars, Italian Wars, and many other conflicts.
We know from research that longbowmen could not penetrate armour even close up. Chain mail yes. I have a feeling they went for the horses and killed the fallen knights with daggers through armour joints.
dulls + Depends on who's research and the draw weight used, these 70-90lb bows don't count. I've seen arrows penetrate plate. The facts speak for themselves, it would not have been such a feared weapon for such a long period, if it didn't.
@@henryvagincourt4502 The bows they used were based on what was found on the Mary Rose. No preserved bows from the Agincourt period exist. Mary Rose was about 100 years after.
It would appear that a knight mounted on a horse would have the advantage over his opponent, in a charge with a lance maybe, but imagine being in a melee surrounded groups of men slashing at the legs of you horse, hamstringing it, in some case removing a leg. You are going to wind up, lying on the ground weighed down by your armour and butchered!
I love your channel's content and visuals; however, you truly need a narrator who can read printed material properly and can pronounce words correctly. Extremely annoying from otherwise excellent material.
Theres no way the English shot straight at their quarry. Being on a hill and the enemy aways off..they used the hill at their advantage and shot UP and with the rise these heavy arrows would be falling much faster and with huge energy rather than a flat shot..thus pierced amour, man, and horse.
They would have shot like that naturally, bow required 120 pounds plus to draw so they would be drawing with arm, shoulder and back in one movement elevating the bow at the same time. Google the long bow there are a couple videos of archers using period bows, you will see what I mean.
Tod's workshop is a great explanation of how effective (ineffective) warbows of this period were against the armor of the period. Although this type of fire is in every movie ever conceived that had longbows used en masse, there is zero evidence that they fired long, arcing shots. I know it seem counterintuitive, but falling from the sky has relatively little power, and is terribly inaccurate. Every reenactment or experiment I have seen with these arrows and warbows shows that they didn't often puncture armor.... They did slaughter horses when fired straight into them however, and then the riders hit the deck.... hard... and was then trampled by all the horses behind, which were then mowed down in another volley. I can almost guarantee that most of the French knights died by being stampeded, rather than through perforation.
@@RobbyP1969 Actually, a longbow could kill an unarmored person or horse at over 200 yards. And firing a longbow horizontally won't get the arrow nearly that far. Yes, they really DID shoot at an upward angle because they could kill at long range. Had archers waited until firing point-blank, cavalry or mounted infantry would be upon them in SECONDS.
That’s not how physics work. The arrow has its most energy and power when it leaves the bow, gravity is not strong enough to increase the joules of the arrow when it’s falling down, and will not increase its speed either, it’s actually opposite when an arrow is shot upwards it will lose its energy (power) faster (due to gravity dragging it backwards) than if you just shot it straight at a target. Therefore if you want the maximum amount of joules when your projectile hits its target you will want to shoot straight towards the target to conserve as much energy as possible within the projectile
Really good. But as you put so much effort into this why not get some help checking all the pronunciations ? That applied to both the French and English names. Also aristocracy is pronounced arrie-STOCK-crassie
Stunning video. Congratulations to the builders. And for the narrator, I admire your diligence, but you really need to learn ot enunciate. And especially, to pronounce the names of the participants. Dauphin is pronounced "doe fahn" and "Warwick" is pronounced "War Ick". The narration, alas, does detract significantly from the overall magnificence of the production.
Like the way they all lined up chantting at each orther,,but one thing the french did not have,,you had the prince of wales,Duke of york,the Duke of calarence,,and the Duke of Lancaster,grand duke and closer to the prince of wales in rank as he was his cousin the rest brothers,,,so its a kind of way to here bro ride up down getting the troops blood tisthie,,were as this chap keeps on say the Dauphin,,like a Dolphin swimming in the sea,,that was the crest ,but alot of people seem to prounace it in english ,its,,,FRENCH,,,
Great stuff but....a shame the narrators pronunciation is so bad it reveals he has little in depth knowledge of this battle, European nobility or the history of the adversaries. That said, enjoyable watch.
Very well done in info,,and the corect line up of both armies,,but the chap speaking is saying the it wrong for the french air,like the prince of wales is the english air,,he says the french air in a very plain english .u.s.a,,way,,its all about how you prounace it,,but orther than that hes doing a great job
Good work on show, but please get some advice on the correct pronunciation of English names. You massacred the names of the principal English protagonists who are no doubt rolling in their graves!
As they all are Moon walking which one is Micheal De Jackson? Is it that bloke with his favourite Teddy Bear on his Helmet? Black Princes mattered even back then.
thanks for making and posting. your history and analysis are fine and accurate. only if you correct rhe pronunciation of the French place and people's names . they are way off, and throws one off as badly. just do the "google translate" in your browser, type the French name, and the app pronounces it for you perfectly
@@amadbiscuit k, ill check them out. Ive just noticed each of these kind of medieval battle videos its the English beating a superior French force not sure if its just the algorithm lol. But i figure if France is still around today they must have won enough battles. Throughout that 500ish year period
In the battle of Agincourt, the participants were mostly too young to have known the previous disastrous battles. The duke of Berry had known that time, and he tried to warn the french knights, but he was not listened to, with the result we know. After this battle only, the french had started to learn the lesson, and they no more exposed themselves to the english arrows. Instead, they developped a new weapon, the artillery, which outclassed the longbows of the english, and gave them the advantage again. If they had continued to learn nothing from the previous lessons, they would have lost the war, and France would have become english.
you want to get your name pronounciation correct .... its Not War Wick its "Warrick" (Warwick). if your going to call out names you got to get them right and your getting most them laughably wrong.
The English french and German terminology is irrelevant these people are all descended from Vikings and saxons and celts they saw Europe in a completely different way to us if their lord told them to fight they did
Actually, the French traced their ancestry to Gaul eventually reaching to Ireland. Hence the origin of the term "Gallic". Julius Caesar did not conquer "Viking-ic Gaul". The Viking were given Normandy by the French as a tradeoff to stop the raiding. Hence the term "French Normandy" to differentiate them from France proper. Example - The Allied Landings in WW2 happened in Normandy.
A fairly decent presentation, but marred by being too long (it could easily be edited to 20 minutes) and torpid and amateurish narration, with important words and names being mis-pronounced horribly.
I was appalled by your murder of French place names, until you started on English place names and then I thought your balance was admirable.
Lol
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 yup murdering both French and English pronunciation equally.
I'm not going say anything at all about this guy's pronunciation, it doesn't matter because at the end of the day this is still a clear, understandable and articulate description of this famous battle and he's obviously knocked himself out making it.

Yeah, know what you mean but still enjoyed the video.
Such a slow and deliberate delivery as if the narrator had just woken up and didn't really want to bother. So after about 30 seconds I didn't either.

@@CHIL2903 Totally agree,it's a common failing amongst YT 'historians' that they ruin potentially good uploads by demonstrating their ignorance of correct pronunciation which can't be excused when almost all references show a phonetic example.
Just lazy I guess .... or perhaps the result of drinking half a bottle of Night Nurse which might also account for the dynamic diction!
@@christopherfranklin972 100% Christopher! Another annoying one I forgot from this video was "dook" instead of duke, where the d takes on a j sound as in juke. These pronunciations may sound OK to "colonials" ears 😉 but it certainly diminishes the presentation to those who know how the honours, titles and even places should be pronounced.
Night Nurse? Something a little stronger me thinks. 😉
Fair do's though, credit where it's due for tackling such a subject and the hope that such criticism/feedback results in making future works even better.
Imagine a narration by the likes of Richard Burton! That bloke could recite the 'phone book to a sold out O2 stadium!
sick dude! i love these videos!
Thank you! I’m glad. I love making them.
"Colonist" here. This man put in good work and should be commended for it and I admit some of the words were "off" but people improve their product given time. Do not be critical for your nature's sake. Cheerio.
Great presentation . A lesson in generalship from the Black prince.
Well done ! This is a high quality piece of work.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for your work. It takes an awful lot of research
These guys had balls of steel
Yes they did indeed!
Ball bearings.
A very interesting and historically correct piece but those pronunciations let it down somewhat.
My French uncle lives in Angers but he says the river runs red in Potier due to French blood after the Welsh first retreated to the woods then attacked with hand weapons such as pole axes and halbards.
Poitiers* not Potier, just to correct you ^^

Best part was when the over loud music stopped!! Oh and for future reference WARWICK is pronounced WARICK, The centre W is silent.

10:53 to my knowledge Walter was actually a German noble, I could be very wrong, but since many German counts were also counts and barons in France it makes a lot of sense that he held some titles in France.
The Black Prince..(so called after either his Armour or hair color) was a real Bad ass ! He also held a 'round table' of his best Knights at Winchester & (I believe) Windsor. Merry Old England !

It was voted second and also first city in France for quality of life.
1:05 it's no surprise at all that Calais fell, the walls were far too low. What were the builders thinking!!
This is a very interesting subject and I appreciate the narrator. However, it would considerably better if the narrator would speak more clearly with accurate pronunciation.
How do you get these custom armours and troops?
I combined assets from multiple different mods into one single mod. And I used Gimp to create custom textures for the new armors I made.

All medieval bowmen shot up in the air in an arc, this is why its called archery!
It's called ARCHERY ........ because the main part of the weapon , the BOW ...... forms an ARCH when it is strung for use !!!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@jasonsmith1158 Vincent's been watching too much of Lawrence Olivier's, Henry V, Jason. 😉Also, the sport of archery is known as toxophily, its adherents being toxophilites.
The word shares roots with toxin/toxic, etc. (toxon = bow, Greek)
@@CHIL2903 Yes the Greeks were masters at concocting poisons and dip their arrows in them to inflict certain death in battles. So we now understand how and why the word "toxic" is used today.
Very interesting how he managed to get all this footage from mount and blade warband
This account of the battle of Poitiers is, on a few points, not in conformity with what the historians have written , especially Frossard and the local chroniclers, who credited the french forces and their allied with at least 20000 men (instead of 11000); which explained that, at first, the english prefered to escape.
They say also that the Captal de Buch attacked the rear of the french from the west, not from the east, where the french were strong, and where they had withdrawn (a map on the battlefield shows this).
Generally speaking the vassals of the king of France were not confident with the military talents of their king (and of his brother) and feared to be captured and pay a ransom.
It's "Froissart," actually.
A useful summary of the battle, thank you.
Some notes on pronunciation:
'Scotland', not 'Scatland'.
'Dyook', not 'Dook'.
'Solsbry', not 'Salissberry'.
'Worrik', nor 'Warwik'.
'Suffuk', not 'Suffoke'.
'Doh-fan' not 'Dah-feen'.
'Pwa-tee-ay' not 'Poy-tears'
I have been recently interested in this world of animated battles, I don't know what have you used to do it, but to achive a cleaner animation, you can use After effects, greats from spain 👍😁
It's a game called mount and blade warband
Yeah, I mean at 18:58, for example that the squares go like with jerks. But nice at all.
The English were destined to have great leaders- who died shortly after their victories- if only they learned to boil their water.
Good CG visuals but the narrator's monotone voice would close a glass eye!
There has been a very importend battle for whole Europe too at Poitiers in 732 when the Franks under Karl Martell stopped the muslim invasion from Spain which now is nearly completed in the end !
It's ironic how the french were ironically defeated in the end by being encircled by the enemy cavalry when they had their own cavalry at the start of the battle that simply got wasted charging the well-entrenched english
Anyone notice the men use the same animations that soldiers in Mount and Blade Warband use? Idk if like, supposed to be like that or something.
I really enjoyed this video! But you pronounced the English and French names very wrong however as you are American we shall let you off! Thanks man
Thank you! Yeah I think I do better in my more recent videos. I would like to fix the mistakes and reupload when I get around to it.
It was Robert Ufford not William, who did not become earl until 1369. The Uff in Ufford rhymes with cuff and huff. BTW Beauchamp is pronounced Beecham.
Takes balls to ride into battle with an effigy of a house cat on your helm.
Haha yes it would. My understanding is the black prince did not actually wear a helmet like that into battle. But he may have worn something similar during tournaments.
In any case, I thought it looked cool. That was one historical inaccuracy on my part.
POITIERS Is pronounced "Pwuttyay". Cheers.
And most of the other words wouldn't recognise their pronunciation either.
No. Please don't speak for the French, thank you.
@@Friton3v1 stop speaking my language then. Cheers.
Indeed - it’s “ari-STOCK-racy” not “aristo-cracy”.
Warrick, not war-wick
Would a shield wall like those used by the Romans have been effective against longbows? And if so why didn't the french use those tactics, like build bigger shields?
The steel heads of the Welsh arrows were forged to pierce armoured breastplates and shields. A primitive shield wall defence would have failed under the force of Welsh Archers firing directly through such a defence. Archers did not fire upwards in wide arcs of shafts, but more directly at their targets, much like later musketeers.
I should, however, have commended the presentation and research.
Is this mount and blade warband mod?
Yes. However, it is not one single mod but several combined into one. All, I have listed in the description.
Thanks can you download these mods on Xbox?
No you can’t unfortunately. Or at least I do not know of a way. You can on PC.
The English and French, are the original Red vs Blue.
What a shame the narrator speaks so quietly and chooses to play music over his narration. Perhaps listen to your videos prior to publishing them.
The Name Warwick is pronounced 'Warrick', Salisbury 'Soulsbury' and Suffolk 'Suffock'

We know from research that longbowmen could not penetrate armour even close up. Chain mail yes. I have a feeling they went for the horses and killed the fallen knights with daggers through armour joints.
dulls + Depends on who's research and the draw weight used, these 70-90lb bows don't count. I've seen arrows penetrate plate. The facts speak for themselves, it would not have been such a feared weapon for such a long period, if it didn't.
@@henryvagincourt4502 The bows they used were based on what was found on the Mary Rose. No preserved bows from the Agincourt period exist. Mary Rose was about 100 years after.
I believe John Hawksworth was amongst the English Archers
Cut out that annoying "music" I can hardly hear the comment
I'd like this better without the constant hard mic breathing...other wise liked it.
Amazing that the French did not have archers. It made all the difference
It would appear that a knight mounted on a horse would have the advantage over his opponent, in a charge with a lance maybe, but imagine being in a melee surrounded groups of men slashing at the legs of you horse, hamstringing it, in some case removing a leg. You are going to wind up, lying on the ground weighed down by your armour and butchered!
Before there was a British empire,there was a English empire,that spanned the British isles and much of France
Didn't last too long in Scotland though 🏴
That will teach the French not to throw ye insults. "Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries".
Classic Monty Python.
I love your channel's content and visuals; however, you truly need a narrator who can read printed material properly and can pronounce words correctly. Extremely annoying from otherwise excellent material.
I believe that it was during this battle that the English executed the prisoners.
Really enjoyed, a very good piece of work however the pronunciation of names was off putting. Both English and French names sounded weird.
Thanks. Appreciated. Yes I understand. I may reupload with an improved narration at some point.
Something about the narrator's presentation seemed odd at times. Can't place what it is. Anyone else?
Theres no way the English shot straight at their quarry. Being on a hill and the enemy aways off..they used the hill at their advantage and shot UP and with the rise these heavy arrows would be falling much faster and with huge energy rather than a flat shot..thus pierced amour, man, and horse.
You need to watch Tod's Workshop video on armour and arrows in 2019 with Dr Toby Capwell
They would have shot like that naturally, bow required 120 pounds plus to draw so they would be drawing with arm, shoulder and back in one movement elevating the bow at the same time. Google the long bow there are a couple videos of archers using period bows, you will see what I mean.
Tod's workshop is a great explanation of how effective (ineffective) warbows of this period were against the armor of the period. Although this type of fire is in every movie ever conceived that had longbows used en masse, there is zero evidence that they fired long, arcing shots. I know it seem counterintuitive, but falling from the sky has relatively little power, and is terribly inaccurate. Every reenactment or experiment I have seen with these arrows and warbows shows that they didn't often puncture armor....
They did slaughter horses when fired straight into them however, and then the riders hit the deck.... hard... and was then trampled by all the horses behind, which were then mowed down in another volley. I can almost guarantee that most of the French knights died by being stampeded, rather than through perforation.
@@RobbyP1969 Actually, a longbow could kill an unarmored person or horse at over 200 yards. And firing a longbow horizontally won't get the arrow nearly that far. Yes, they really DID shoot at an upward angle because they could kill at long range. Had archers waited until firing point-blank, cavalry or mounted infantry would be upon them in SECONDS.
That’s not how physics work. The arrow has its most energy and power when it leaves the bow, gravity is not strong enough to increase the joules of the arrow when it’s falling down, and will not increase its speed either, it’s actually opposite when an arrow is shot upwards it will lose its energy (power) faster (due to gravity dragging it backwards) than if you just shot it straight at a target. Therefore if you want the maximum amount of joules when your projectile hits its target you will want to shoot straight towards the target to conserve as much energy as possible within the projectile
Game name
Check the description.
If I may, Poitiers is pronounced like pwah-tee-yay
Really good. But as you put so much effort into this why not get some help checking all the pronunciations ? That applied to both the French and English names. Also aristocracy is pronounced arrie-STOCK-crassie
"Père, gardez vous à droite, père, gardez vous à gauche"......
If Macron doesnt stop with his bullying.......
Stunning video. Congratulations to the builders. And for the narrator, I admire your diligence, but you really need to learn ot enunciate. And especially, to pronounce the names of the participants. Dauphin is pronounced "doe fahn" and "Warwick" is pronounced "War Ick". The narration, alas, does detract significantly from the overall magnificence of the production.
Like the way they all lined up chantting at each orther,,but one thing the french did not have,,you had the prince of wales,Duke of york,the Duke of calarence,,and the Duke of Lancaster,grand duke and closer to the prince of wales in rank as he was his cousin the rest brothers,,,so its a kind of way to here bro ride up down getting the troops blood tisthie,,were as this chap keeps on say the Dauphin,,like a Dolphin swimming in the sea,,that was the crest ,but alot of people seem to prounace it in english ,its,,,FRENCH,,,
"Air-es-TOK-ra-see"
Great stuff but....a shame the narrators pronunciation is so bad it reveals he has little in depth knowledge of this battle, European nobility or the history of the adversaries. That said, enjoyable watch.
Y llego Castilla, y se le terminaron "las alegrias a Inglaterra ".

Very well done in info,,and the corect line up of both armies,,but the chap speaking is saying the it wrong for the french air,like the prince of wales is the english air,,he says the french air in a very plain english .u.s.a,,way,,its all about how you prounace it,,but orther than that hes doing a great job
Good work on show, but please get some advice on the correct pronunciation of English names. You massacred the names of the principal English protagonists who are no doubt rolling in their graves!
This Guy has difficulty with basic English ... he has a reading age of 10
As they all are Moon walking which one is Micheal De Jackson? Is it that bloke with his favourite Teddy Bear on his Helmet? Black Princes mattered even back then.
thanks for making and posting. your history and analysis are fine and accurate. only if you correct rhe pronunciation of the French place and people's names . they are way off, and throws one off as badly. just do the "google translate" in your browser, type the French name, and the app pronounces it for you perfectly
Did the French ever win a battle?
Yes! They turned things around eventually. I also have a few videos on the major French victories: Patay, Formigny, and Castillon.
@@amadbiscuit k, ill check them out. Ive just noticed each of these kind of medieval battle videos its the English beating a superior French force not sure if its just the algorithm lol. But i figure if France is still around today they must have won enough battles. Throughout that 500ish year period
@@TheRealBatCave Because of Anglo propaganda.
Please please please research how to pronounce name properly on the next video!
In the battle of Agincourt, the participants were mostly too young to have known the previous disastrous battles.
The duke of Berry had known that time, and he tried to warn the french knights, but he was not listened to, with the result we know.
After this battle only, the french had started to learn the lesson, and they no more exposed themselves to the english arrows.
Instead, they developped a new weapon, the artillery, which outclassed the longbows of the english, and gave them the advantage again.
If they had continued to learn nothing from the previous lessons, they would have lost the war, and France would have become english.
Pronunciation needs considerable improvement.
Not Salsberry but Saulsbree. Oh and it's Arri-STOCK-rassie
Chartres au Nord Est ??????
you want to get your name pronounciation correct .... its Not War Wick its "Warrick" (Warwick). if your going to call out names you got to get them right and your getting most them laughably wrong.
The English french and German terminology is irrelevant these people are all descended from Vikings and saxons and celts they saw Europe in a completely different way to us if their lord told them to fight they did
Actually, the French traced their ancestry to Gaul eventually reaching to Ireland. Hence the origin of the term "Gallic". Julius Caesar did not conquer "Viking-ic Gaul". The Viking were given Normandy by the French as a tradeoff to stop the raiding. Hence the term "French Normandy" to differentiate them from France proper. Example - The Allied Landings in WW2 happened in Normandy.
The french king John II was particularly stupid, he had learnt nothing from the battle of Crecy, he repeated the same errors.
You really should research the correct pronunciation of English names.
Doughfahn not Darfeen
A fairly decent presentation, but marred by being too long (it could easily be edited to 20 minutes) and torpid and amateurish narration, with important words and names being mis-pronounced horribly.
Based on this battle it looks that the french were not very intelligent. Basically they were defeated by arrows.
