That just made no sense... If you have a column of men in a gulley, and their Moorish cavalry flees the scene. Well, you might want to deploy archers. Who plans an ambush in a ravine, so deliberately taking the high ground and just neglects archers.

@@johnargus9081 pikes give a larger advantage against an horse charge, but spears can be used to the same effect if the infantry is well trained.

You would try to fight them on a more plain ground and flank them. of course you could try to bet on psichology and hope they would break ranks but they seem relatively well trained.
funny part is, he asked his brother for free passage through his land so he can conquer the lands of his youngest brother. What imbecile would trust that lol
They agreed previously to battle in another place. Sancho's host of soldiers was moving there, thinking that Fernando wouldn't break his word. He did, which opened a can of worms that worsened Fernando's life because breaking honor goes in both ways.
King Sancho without an elite guard. Not sending outriders to probe the advancement. Not employing archers in a successful ambush. Loose ringmail that does not protect the throats...
Well the other king wasted the power of surprise for no reason at all waited till Sancho’s forces were reorganized before ordering a cavalry charge directly on a wall of spears.
The general look of the armies is better than Vikings. Mail too lose and so on, but at least no leather fetish. I just wonder why the battle choreo has to be so bad. Effectless mail that can be stabbed through, attacking a formation like this frontally, strange sheet metal shields, giving up any order after the first contact and causing chaos and confusion that in reality would lead to instant end of the battle and more strange choices..
Chainmail can absolutely be stabbed through with enough force. It was far more effective against cuts. What struck me as unrealistic was overrepresentation of swords.
Nica action, stupid fight. 1. If you want to attack, attack ! Don't wait till the enemy is prepared 2. If you only have tiny shields, dont build a shield wall, it is useless 3. Horses don't commit suicide and therefor don't charge into spears. They are smarter than hoomans.
Kind of normal move for heavy cavalary. Strange is idea that infantry could do so well against such a charge with those spears. This is just nonsense battle
Armour and weaponry look very good. I guess, it's early for surcoats, but i wonder, shouldn't warriors wear at least something to know who they are fighting?
The axe the woman was holding seems to be late medieval but other than that the weapons and armor indeed look good. Regarding uniforms, there is not much evidence that early/high medieval armies wore specific clothing to distinguish themselves from the enemies. In practice armies fought in formation with the friendly side looking towards the enemy while the enemy was looking towards your direction.
The armor looks terrible. On more than one character, the chainmail is loose and ill-fitting, to the point of billowing out, leaving the neck and other body parts exposed. No wonder they don’t seem to protect anything. But perhaps there is a justification. Did both armies just emerge from another battle? Even then, good quality mail would not get so distorted as to hang so loosely.
@ I am wondering if loose armor was actually a thing in practice as it might had been more comfortable 🤔 It’s like soldiers in current times not upholding military doctrine when being in war for long time if you know what I mean. Medieval depictions should be separated from actual practice after all.
In this era, that should be displayed on their shields. That and it's a lot easier to keep track of who is on what side when people actually stay in formation.
I watched the series until an early season 2 episode where our hero threw his sword and killed a fleeing assassin. I have a rule where I don't watch anything once they start throwing their swords. Lazy writing. The armor and settings in the series were quite good, though.
@@GameOver-fn2ogI could honestly imagine that in practice fighters would loosen their chainmail around the neck similar to how even today soldiers don’t uphold military doctrine when fighting in war

Too much blood scenes blood spraying in every swing of sword , cut at first strike.. they are wearing steel chain mail shirts, cuts are impossible , piercing might happen but also have to be lucky. Tested in ideal condition. Fixed non moving human body replicas with chain armour attacked by sharp blades, arrowheads and spears, while spectators were in good condition, and full power strike.

Fighting scenes are interesting for watching of course😊.

This scene is cringe af. The director doesn't seem to be too good in his craft. The costiumes are mediocre, the acting is poor, the writing terrible, the characters need to constantly narrate everything thats happening because the director either didnt seem capable to relay whats happening on screen in any other way, or he did but thought the viewer to be too stupid to know if person A attacks person B without person C yelling "person A attacks person B!" in a cringe, overly dramatic way. Not to mention the tactics used in the battle look as if a 6 year old invented them.
You are right, and added to that it is very annoying that they have invented the story of a historical figure; It is understandable that they add non-historical events for the sake of the plot, but they exaggerate regarding the license thereof, I do not expect to see a documentary but a Minimal Coherence and credibility with the characters out of respect for the iconography that they represent for an entire nation .

Fighting scenes are interesting for watching of course😊.
that's why I must remind myself to enjoy the cool cinematography.
Spectators? You mean participants?
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 yes. Participants.
Please turn it off and don't make Braveheart clowns out of the Swiss, it's a shame to mess up Swiss history like that
Враньё , их бы кавалерия размазал .
Mas falso, he montado caballos y se que estos tienen tal fuerza. Caminando empujan a cualquier grupo de personas. Ahora bajando a velocidad, demasiado estática quedo la linea.
such a stupid script and wait what's the women doing 😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha, they went full woke with this one
This scene is cringe af. The director doesn't seem to be too good in his craft. The costiumes are mediocre, the acting is poor, the writing terrible, the characters need to constantly narrate everything thats happening because the director either didnt seem capable to relay whats happening on screen in any other way, or he did but thought the viewer to be too stupid to know if person A attacks person B without person C yelling "person A attacks person B!" in a cringe, overly dramatic way. Not to mention the tactics used in the battle look as if a 6 year old invented them.
You are right, and added to that it is very annoying that they have invented the story of a historical figure; It is understandable that they add non-historical events for the sake of the plot, but they exaggerate regarding the license thereof, I do not expect to see a documentary but a Minimal Coherence and credibility with the characters out of respect for the iconography that they represent for an entire nation . It's like SHIT on the image of Wellintong or Washington
The costumes are far from mediocre. Besides the lose mail, it is real chainmail and all of the outifts are historically accurate for that period.

Moors where black
Nope. Moors were from all around the Mediterranean and were comprised of many ethnicities.
@whiteknightcat moors are from north Africa. Converted to Islam
@whiteknightcat what sources can you provide that proves your opinion?
@@genowill7081 The term Moor is an exonym first used by Christian Europeans to designate the Muslim populations of the Maghreb, al-Andalus (Iberian Peninsula), Sicily and Malta during the Middle Ages. Moors are not a single, distinct or self-defined people. The 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica observed that the term had "no real ethnological value." Europeans of the Middle Ages and the early modern period variously applied the name to Arabs, Berbers, and Muslim Europeans.

Ross Brann, "The Moors?", Andalusia, New York University. Quote: "Andalusi Arabic sources, as opposed to later Mudéjar and Morisco sources in Aljamiado and medieval Spanish texts, neither refer to individuals as Moors nor recognize any such group, community or culture."

@@genowill7081moors aren't black. My sources, my eyes. Moors are from the north of África, they have tan skin, but aren't black (1000 years ago or today)
Начали красиво, правдоподобно, сомкнутым строем, а дальше все как в Голливудских фильмах, где каждый сам за себя в хаосе воюет на 360 градусов. Когда от этой бредятины отойдут, и начнут показывать исторические баталии в исторических фильмах. А не сцены битв из звездных воен.
тебя,обиженку, забыли спросить..грамотей сопливый.."воен"- это показатель твоего интеллекта..
Here the Europeans try to make themselves heroes even in their defeats
@hispanosubversivo I don't understand what you are saying, but the Muslims are the Arab warlords who humiliated the Europeans and made Heraclius flee from Syria, and the Turks who entered the heart of Europe and humiliated the kings of Europe for centuries.
@hispanosubversivo It is true that it did not remain Andalusia, but also Constantinople became Islamic and no longer Christian, and our conquests were not without value until now. Islam is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Kosovo. As for the video, it does not matter whether they were victorious or not, because the history of Islam and their victories is too great to be put in a movie. At the end of it, the whole world knows that. The Europeans were paying tribute to the Ottomans, and the Ottomans were marrying the daughters of European kings to protect them.Believe me, Eastern man is one of the founders of civilization. If it were not for the Easterners, the Europeans would not have known how to write. While the Westerners forbade bathing, the Eastern civilization would have flourished and advanced.
@@IbrahimYusef-vz5bm So much so that the English royal family is descended from a certain prophet of Islam
Isabel and Fernando laugh out loud at your comment
@user-cm9pt8bo3l When they see Sultan Suleiman or Yusuf Ibn Tashfin, they will return to bathing 😂😂
nationalistic exageratted and romanticized cringe
