Late in the summer of 1356, the oldest son of England’s King, Edward the Third, Edward the Black Prince, led a small army from Bordeaux deep into the French King’s realm, almost exactly ten years after the humiliating defeat of the French at Crecy in 1346.

The coins featured are:
(1) a silver groat, or fourpence, of King Edward III of England, from the Baron Ian Stewartby collection, in good very fine / almost extremely fine condition.
(2) a gold Franc à cheval of King Jean II (John II) of France, in mint state. This was the first franc. It was introduced in 1360 to pay the Ransom of King John II of France. This coin secured the king's freedom and showed him on a richly decorated horse earning it the name franc à cheval (meaning "free on horse" in French).

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that this guy sacrifices his awesome lego collection just to give us the highest quality content?
The amount of bows he's chopped up to get there arrows... Oof
Yes

The scene of the last French knight standing beside his King, knowing there is no hope for him, and dying by the enemy’s sword is very powerful
It has historical president, almost none of King John “Le Bel”’s entourage of knights survived the battle, most were killed by arrow or archers during the start of the battle, while many others died fighting at his side.
There is a very famous story about that. At that point in the battle, as John was doing his last stand, his young son, Philip, 14yo, was looking for him "Père, gardez-vous à droite. Père, gardez-vous à gauche" (Father, watch on your right. Father, watch on your left).
Philip was therefore called "the Bold" (le Hardi) and received Burgundy later and married the count of Flanders' only daughter. Ironically, his lineage was to be big, big, trouble for the kings of France...

This is actually more brutal/gory than about 95% of movie depictions of war. Epic.
Also a lot more realistic
@@catodes1295 Except for the armor.
@@SirPlusOfCamelot I mean yeah, but lego doesn't really make any official medieval weapons besides swords, so cut him some slack
DEATH COUNTS
English: 53 dead
French: 174 dead (also civillians)
in equal, 227 minifigure heads, torso, arms, legs and armour were sacrificed for this wonderful stop motion, great respect to him!
I would never sacrifice that much... Brictator! You have both my respect and subs, cuz this is entertaining,
Wow
He could have reused but the fact he even sacrificed one I would never he is pro
Look closely. Many of the minifigures that get stabbed or sliced are just reused torso that were already destroyed. Also, the ones that get stabbed or chopped are just generic colored minifigure bodies with decals stickers on them. So, in all he didn't really sacrifice any of the actual vintage bodies.

This is how I pictured my lego battles in my head. I definitely removed the legs, arms, and heads of my figures while playing but I never went this far lol. This video takes it to a whole new brutal level and it’s awesome.
What parents see: aw look at them having a war!
What kids see:
Ikr
Exactly, I had a fucked yo imagination, good thing they couldn’t know what I was thinking.
I like the profile picture
Dude this, every time I would set up my legos and made them battle I saw the most visceral battlefield possible
@@thespacedisland5746 that is very good
These camera angles and the whole animation was absolutely the best stop motion I have ever seen
This battle is more accurate than the movies.
Aside from weapons cutting through armor and horses dying in one or two arrows, it is quite accurate
There is a movie for this?
Yeah and these faces that have been cut were used at many legofigs. Bruh
Except for the fact that the armor breaks like butter if it wor more realistic the swords would just bounce off the plate armor
?יחח'''
Aside from the chopping through armour parts, this has got to be one of the accurate portrayals of medieval history I can think of. Even Outlaw King and Kingdom Come: Deliverance are behind this.
Why are people still liking this comment, I didn't say anything noteworthy?
[Defunct Spunk] yeah especially the arrows piercing that armour, and killing the horses with only one or two arrows
@@MCernoble Oh I didn't notice those. But aside from those, my point still stands.
have you heard of mount and blade lol
@@lrusse9120 Lmao, yeah bucko, I want to play that game so hard.
@@MCernoble English longbows sir, each firing a yard long projectile further and with more force than any crossbow could manage
That was one of the single best videos I've ever seen on youtube. If you ever make another I would be honoured to help with voice acting! All the best, Vox

@@brictator thanks for getting back to me. Look forward to seeing what's next...stalingrad?....
@@AVoxintheVoidman if you need a German, I'm here
Wow this was incredible! I love how you showed the quality in armor making a difference even in the intense melee, the armor of the Knights deflecting blows easily from the less armored Men-At-Arms as they get cut down. Really amazing work!
I agree, a knight was must more valuable to a medieval army than a man-at-arms, so they of course had better armor
@@PugnaciousProductions Right, but all armor offers protection against swords, they could not slice them like butter regardless of the quality.
Man this reminds me to 2010 when youtube was filled with stop-motions... Great job!
Those were the days...

Great show of key events, Warwick's archers shooting the flanks of the French Cavalry, and Captal De Buch leading the Cavalry behind the French.
It's unfortunate that how much the arrows affected the cavalry charge is overplayed.
@@pavelstaravoitau7106 It didn't do real damage, but it did disrupt the French attack enough.

This is the LEGO equivalent to Game of Thrones. Amazing work!!
Thanks for your help. I think what you mean is that Game of Thrones is a shitty approximation of this Lego video.

As a kid then into my pre-teens, This is how I would envision my lego battles. I admire the videos made by folks of such talent these days. I can't do any of this, so, I enjoy what others have made. Yet, this one so far is one of the best I've seen.
2:25 best line in the whole animation
I liked:
Oh shit
Indeed
What I liked about this LEGO stop motion was that it was educational and did a good job of showing the inescapable and permanent horrors of war. It's still graphic with dismemberment, head gashes, and the like but it's LEGO. It shows you the terribility of killing civilians and plundering their homes while still being LEGO-fan-friendly. Lord, have mercy on us all. God bless.

Just great? He is amazing!
Brick-tator
Wow! This probably took over 900 dollars, think about it, he cut up so many LEGO people just got 1 video not only that but all those bows he had to cut!
You can buy Lego bootlegs from china (aliexpress) for under a dollar a minifig as well as bows, weapons, armor and horses for cheap...I see aftermarket helmets in the video. If they didn't use bootlegs, they should've have...at least for the casualties! (Better to destroy/damage them than the genuine article).
i was thinking that too. he probably reused a lot of the pieces, and one the bows are like that, he can still use them for other things.
He probalby Just reused same pieces for certain slashes and backstabs.
Yeah same iv been thinking about that too
The coins are worth far more.
This has got to be one of the best films you have ever made! The action scenes are so good and the fake blood is a wonderful touch. I like the music to and the shots are great, you really feel immersed in the story with the commentary! Keep up the wonderful work!❤

He can cut many opegos and save damaged one and when he need cut again he can change good figure with already citted.
You have to give this man some credit he cut, paint, animate so many legos
Yeah this animation is great!
This video truly needs more views! You showed real talent in this video. I really hope this video will be etched forever into the history of RUclips!

The face changes when their talking is amazing
I love that people are still making stop motion for LEGO. I watched these when I was a kid like ten years ago now.
These have become like actual films, I see everyone has only stepped their game up.

Why make the effort of making the people speak two languages but still have the English nobility speak English when they spoke French?
I considered this, but people are already confused by some of the mounted knights for the French side being German
@@brictator Though I was a little miffed about the language issue I am very impressed by the accuracy of portraying german mercenaries in the French army and the relevant heraldry. Not to mention that the video is really well done in general.

The older this video gets the more painful it gets to watch these vintage legos get chopped up
"No lego-people were harmed during the filming" - does not apply here. Absolutely great content! The story, editing, smoothness of animation, ...
A small detail that I quite like, was that you showed the Heraldry of Earl of Douglas 4:06 representing the Scottish Alliance to the French.
Except it should have had the heart by 1356, and also he wasn't Earl of Douglas but Lord of Douglas
You should do more medieval content like this. It's historical and entertaining
I love how well "choreographed" this battle is in Lego form. We're learning about the 100 Years War in High School history right now. Although this is literally made with Lego, this helped me visualize the battle.
Parents: “Awww look at him playing with his Legos!”
What I’m imagining:
Let’s take a moment to talk about how the man running away naked actually lived
Yea I was saw him the old guy was running away as the knights murdered those people
Yeah that was funny af
Lol
“Or maybe this will remind me of Crécy” lol he was smarter than the knights
I think he was at the battle at Crecy so he might have remembered. These German knights might not be there or hadn't heard about that battle. If these knight had heard of the news then they would have remembered and not to attack.
He really captured the suffocating effect of a war, *youre on the front lines, hundreds of men behind you, in front of you, and directly beside you all pushing shoving and killing eachother simultaneously. I feel like a pawn who won’t survive some cruel game*
Thank you for your comment. This is in fact the Feeling I was trying to achieve. I have been disappointed for so long with movies where 2 armies run at each other and then run through each other Instead of colliding
What parents see: Aw look, they are playing with there new plastic swords.
What kids see:
This is a masterpiece. Amazing work. I'm speechless ! Fluid animation, great detail, fantastic lego destruction and use of paint
Man, this must have taken such a long time to do
Bravo
Probably spent 40 grand on new Lego parts to replace all the ones he melted for the sliced-in-half look
I think he only broke/melt only one part of each one (for example: jay's hair) so, he doesn't spent a lot of money

Not to ignite a firestorm bigger than the firebombing of Tokyo but I know I'm not the only one who noticed that very few of the villagers had any sort of weapon with which to defend themselves. This is why you must never let sword control take root in your kingdom.
Uhmm...This sounds kinda dumb, like, swords are actually not the best option to fight any tipe of armored enemy(swords were mostly used in duels), and also those are villagers, they mostly need tools to do their job, and they would prefer a good metal tool to do their job rather than a sword tgat most of then don't know how to use properly.
But I guess your original post is more "political" in nature, in that case I would prefer not to interfere, but the same principles applies: a tool will be more useful than a sword most of the time, and don't let commoners use swords without teaching them how to use them properly.
@@ghosthost2033 It was more simply an edgy joke really. But yes, it's definitely in their best interest to know how to use a weapon they've been given to defend themselves.
@@aputridpileofb-movies6542 spears are cheap and plentiful, and if lucky, a bow/crossbows usually available as well. Any other makeshift weapons like pitchforks as well.
@@Korvinian4601 there's no doubt that a wisely led peasant force can win skillful victories if they are wisely used, but the point I was making was about arms control more generally, and I believe some arms control laws were in force in france and england at the time.
@@aputridpileofb-movies6542 not really, in England during Henry II reign, freeman are obligated to possess weapons in time of need. It also forbids any weapons be exported out of England. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assize_of_Arms_of_1181
For France I’m not that well learned, but I do know that other parts of the medieval world weapons are freely owned. In the HRE, particularly the Free Cities, it is mandatory for citizens in the cities to own a weapon and armour. So, weapon control doesn’t really exist in the medieval age. I’ll find more sources for other kingdoms because laws vary amongst them.
