Hello everyone, as mentioned by many of you, I will cover some of the battles missed here in a future video.
oh
Thanks for listening for your audience feedback ! I'm looking forward for it
I know I’m just one sub but I’d really love to see you cover history like you do here (maybe on a second channel for alternative history) of a Crusader Kings 2 play through at the 769 start as the duke of Mercia. Maybe have a playthrough series and an accompanying series that discusses the history of the nations and battles Therein. Something similar to The Templin Institute’s Greater Terran Union series. I dont believe this has ever been done for CK2 and since it’s all about the Medieval Era I think that this would be right up your ally.
Or if you haven’t played before I’d recommend somewhere in Ireland!
I've never been this early, you only plus side to me being dope sick
How to be king of Britain:
- Claim the French throne
- Occupy north of France
- Lose north of France
-Repeat the process
@lvan Big Nob not really it was england and powerful french regions vs france.
@lvan Big Nob yea big no
@Death To The CCP still being not English too
Mrbrain bob what about the rebels in England.that also wasn’t easy for them.For example the welsh or the Scottish those are similar to those powerful “french” regions in France so that really is not a valid argument
@Napoléon Bonaparte England is 90% of Britain ? I don’t think so lad back then England wasn’t even 90% of Britain now it definitely isn’t
"Opportunity did not show up to him, it was, FRANKLY, shoved up to his face."
I see what you did there
Joan of Arc has to be one of the most fascinating political entities in history. Any old nut job can claim to be on a holy mission, but to actually complete it... I wonder how much of her story is truth.
Though in the end, apart from a moral boost I don't think she changed much in the war. Let's be honest they just needed an idol that would tell them god is with them. Most decisive victories were made without her. From the start, even in constant civil war France had too much ressources for the less populated England (at the time) to be able to hold it in the long term. Though maybe the French could have accepted it, since after all it would have just ended as a personal union if England won, not like the kingdoms themselves would have changed much.
@@xenotypos Don't get me wrong, I don't dare suggest divine intervention was at play. I would just like to imagine the peasant girl made the difference she was idolised for. It's a nice little piece of history.
It’s funny because she’s more written about both in contemporary and modern sources than either of the English or French monarchs at the time. It must be rough knowing that your legacy as a monarch of two of the most successful nations of all time, is overshadowed by a peasant girl.
There's a song about her.

@@theliberator5126 its not just a peasant girl, its a saint.
You forget two crushing defeats for the English between the Siege of Orleans and the Battle of Castillon : the Battle of Patay and the Battle of Formigny, two decisive French victories.
he mentioned the battle of castillon around 14:30
@@stsk7 he mentioned that those two battles were between the siege of Orleans and Castillon
@@eduardocruzlopez560below his video he said in a desperate video he’s covering them
I feel too many people considere that the Hundred Years' War consists only of these three english victories (Poitiers, Crécy and Azincourt) and that somehow by a stroke of fortune, France won the war because of english internal struggles. Of the 3 phases of the War, France won 2 of them, with victories as dashing as the ones of the english in the first part of the war, but who are very obscure to many people because cinema, culture or internet and memes in general only speak (often with exageration) of the english ones.
France fielded great generals, arguably opened the way to modern usage of artillery and used guerrila and deserted earth tactics with a lot of success too. France also suffered a lot from roaming bands of mercenaries which lead to the creation of one of the first modern permanent army.
Anyway it is always nice to see you uploading a video, you do a great work and deserve recognition.
I totally agree, every time I see a video about the hundred years war I'm disappointed about this british point of view. The french won more than twice as many battles/sieges and the only one mentionned are Orleans because it's the arrival of Joan of Arc and Castillon because it ended the war. But as you say the french had also dashing victories.
Well in terms of internal struggles even the English have to admit you couldn't be worse than France. It's because France wasn't united that a smaller kingdom like England was able to cause so much problem.
@@xenotypos yes it was partly a civil war with powerful nobles such as the duke of Burgundy siding with the english
xenotypos you could be worse than France you could be Germany, which was turning into a for-sale entity to be bought and sold by habsburgs, yet with so much decentralization that harnessing state power was almost impossible outside of a great collective threat. France was heading that way prior to the Angevin Wars but the collective threat in those wars centralized the state and also secured a claim for the royals based on victory and merit rather than money (although the habsburgs claim was also based on being loyal advisors to the previous german dynasties, but really money and forced marriages - habsburgs dictated most of the marriages within the german princedoms) are what secured their power as the Holy Roman imperial dynasty, as opposed to the military power of the house of Capet during the Angevin Wars, and later houses of Valois and Bourbon during the Hundred Years War securing these houses as French dynasties.
Considering that France provoked the war by interfering in English politics, it's funny that they lost the first phase. France is a richer and more populous country than England, it should've won every phase and it's a marvel that the English had as many victories as they did.

As always, I like your video but I'm a bit disappointed. I expected a fair video on the hundred years war, not the british point of view as most videos on youtube do. I mean you speak about Sluys, Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt and Verneuil while for the french you just mention Orleans and Castillon. Should I remember that the french won more than twice as many battles/sieges and the war in the end. You could have talked about famous french victories like Patay and Formigny.
Anyway, I'm waiting for the next video
Volcanares Patay especially was very important, as an outnumbered force of French knights slaughtered the corps of Welsh longbowmen that had given the english so many victories.
Volcaneres : We don't talk about things we're ashamed of. For most of the English, the history of France is limited to Agincourt and Waterloo...
Fair point, I may cover those areas in the future
It is true that the end of the Hundred Years War until the reign of Louis XI (the spider) is undoubtedly one of the most striking and founding periods from the French... from the political point of view, in particular.

For anyone who is interested in Joan Of Arc, I highly recommend Recollections Of Joan Of Arc by Mark Twain. While it is a work of fiction, Mr Twain worked tirelessly to make it as historically accurate as humanly possible for fiction to be. It was truly a passion project for him, and the person who can read it and not be deeply and profoundly touched is not someone I care to know. It can be argued that if there were no Joan D'Arc, there would have been no Mark Twain. In Saint Louis, a young printer's apprentice was walking down a sidewalk on a windy day when a printed paper fluttering along the street caught his eye. Being curious, the lad chased it down and read upon it the disgraceful account of the guards stealing the garments of their prisoner, Joan Of Arc. Young Samuel Clemens became enthralled with learning more of The Maid Of Orleans which led to a thirst for knowledge of any kind. Decades later, now known to the world as Mark Twain, he would write one of the most touching, heartbreaking and human tales ever written in any language.
So Many Humans, So Little Common Sense didn’t Mark Twain say she was the most complete human being of all time? Sounds very interesting
Hi there, @Chris De La Cruz While I'm not familiar with that exact description, it's similar enough that it's possible. Due to the sheer volume of his speaking tours, newspaper articles and letters, it's highly common to find multiple slightly different variations on quotes that essentially said the same thing.
What does specifically comes to mind speaks of how you could select any well known historical hero, no matter how noble their story was, and by modern standards, (modern meaning the late nineteenth century of course) and that builder knight in shining armor would suddenly look pretty sullied and not too heroic. But Joan Of Arc was an exception. A shining example. You could compare her story to any time period, and she would remain unsullied, story fully intact and still standing a hero.
But sorry for getting so long-winded. Like Twain, I become a bit too enthusiast over topics I'm passionate about! 😂 Thanks for reading my original comment!
If you can find this book you will have the true words of Joan.
"Jacques TREMOLET DE VILLERS - Jeanne d'Arc le procès de Rouen"
Thanks for the recommendation.
I would gladly read that book, I just to know a way to get it
I wonder sometimes what the world would've looked like had England finally triumphed over France in the One Hundred Years War. What would the UK look like with France apart of it for centuries?
I'd be more intrested to see what the world would've look like had Louis VIII kept the english throne
Well, you would be speaking French.. After all:
England is only a French colony that turned bad
-Clemenceau :)
At that time noble where speaking French and only the defeat( and bad loosers) made the English language a thing..
The English Plantagenet kings of french origin would have just moved back to France. Maybe it would have changed mostly nothing though, personal unions were common in European history, the two kingdoms still stayed two separate entities most of the time, and a generation after that things were generally back to normal. This war was a family war nothing else.
It would have been a European powerhouse, able to exercise much more influence into HRE and Iberia. The royal family would primarily refer to themselves as king of France as they were of French blood and spoke French.
Similar thing to when Mongolians conquered China - they became Chinese.
Eventually age of nationalism would bring about English indenpendenxe movements in 19th century and England would probably become indenpendent republic with no Scotland, Ireland or colonies. Centuries of colonization from the united kingdom of France and England would mean that all of the colonies would be subject of French crown.
Well, to paraphrase Horace: Conquered France would have taken captive its rude conqueror. Like all Plantagenet kings before John Lackland, the King of England would have lived in France and moved the throne to Paris. France was the biggest money maker, had the greatest population and needed to be pacified. It would have been like the Stuarts. King James VI of Scotland ruled as James I of England in London, not Edinburgh. The two crowns may have been separated at first, but would eventually have been united. French would have remained the language of the court. No War of the Roses, no Church of England, no Elizabethan Era, no colonies in America... no USA. England would have been covered with fleur-de-lys instead of Tudor roses. Shakespeare could have written his plays in French and presented in Paris his famous play "Henri II": "Encore un coup sur la brèche, les amis, encore un coup!"
So well made. Love the detail and graphics. Very fascinating and thorough. Thank you
So happy your doing France! Wish they were even longer and more in depth!

If the angevins had won, the capital of the angevin empire would have probably been moved to Angers and the empire would have slowly turned fully french. This unified empire would have probably been the most influencial of it's time even ahead of the HRE, and would absolutely change the history of europe since the franco british war would not have happen.

Pretty good video bit you should have spoken of Bertrand Duguesclin and of the reign of the capable Charles the 5th.

Wonder what would've happened if England just had 2 good consecutive kings. I mean, Edward III(good), Richard II(bad), Henry IV(mediocre), Henry V(amazing), Henry VI(awful). As much as the French are struggling with their kings, the English aren't that much better.
Imagine if Richard the Lionheart didn't die. Back then, England owned half of France. :D
Lets be honest guys all the English monarchy were nasty trouble making bastards. Just ask any of England's neighbours....
Henry 5 may have been wonderful to you but he was a blood thirsty soldiers that commited war crimes during the battles like executing prisonners and not being very "kind" to french peasants
Error right from the start.
"some say 'Philip IV' was cursed by the Templar Knights."
You start your video with "some say?"
The alleged Templar curse on Philip IV originated from the 20th century historical fiction author, Maurice Druon (23 April 1918 - 14 April 2009)
So, actually, nobody said Philip IV was cursed by Templar's until recent times, and it was for modern political reasons.

I’ve been reading about Charles II “the bad” of Navarre who was a descendant of Philip IV by his mother Joan II and the count of Evreux a grandson of Philip III. Even he tried to get involved in the war. It’s interesting how it wasn’t just England v France but so many other things like John of gaunt’s claim in Castile and the Burgundian struggles against the king of France

English victories were more impressive. England was outnumbered because it only had 2 millon while France had about 17 millon people. Impressive how much the English won.
also where the fuck did you get this 17 million number or this 2 million? Because they still count burgundy, brittany and gascony as french even though it was ruled by the english

Basically to remind them why they are so friendly with the French now days. Because 100 years of getting ass wooped should not be forgotten.
Actually I believe because British literature especially Shakespeare taught a propagandistic version of it (British nationalism), and basically it became the national roman.
Officially, England never renounce to its right on French crown. That's why the english monarchy's motto is "Dieu et mon Droit" - "God and my right [to become king of France]".
Etienne MACQ I think they renounced it in the early 1900s when France became an ally
They have renounced !

Yet again a female making history, rare. And because she was a female fighter loyal to serve her country she meant nothing to the eyes of King Charles VII. Yup! Keep fighting for your king, they surely won't fight for you. I'm happy she is a Saint and God took her with open arms. I'm proud of her to come up from nothing to something, humbly.

Of course I don't know all of the the particulars. But I just can't believe that after Joan had saved France and
then she was captured and ransomed by
the Burgundian's, Charles would not come to her aid.
So Burgundy sold the girl to the English, and they burned her alive.
I don't really know the story, but I think after Joan was imprisoned,
the English were having some trouble establishing grounds for execution (as if they needed any)
so went about stealing the girl's clothes and leaving only male garb in their place. As cross-dressing was a big-time no-no (imagine) when she was discovered 'in drag'
they nailed her.
This may be completely wrong.
I read it when I was 11.
Were it not for Joan, I wonder how France would have faired. Actually, the monarchy, as well as the people for that matter are separated by culture more than absolutely anything else.
All of Europe ! It should have been one people. Can you imagine.
Neighbors can't even get along.
What hope is there for the world ?
They tried her for witchcraft because they believed she beguiled their enemies to fight and resurge.
Jehanne la Pucelle didn't saved France ,
since the English were still in Normandy for 20 years after her death in 1431 and
another 50 years in other regions.
No help from Charles VII. She was abandoned.
No ransom were requested from the English, for the release of Jehanne.
The men's clothing story is a false event, to add drama... from the 18th century.
Jehanne was sentenced as an heretic in trying to annul Charles Coronation at Reims in 1429.
It was a political trial.
Orléans was saved by Yolande d'Anjou who sent the all the necessary supplies
and paid for Charles's army and mercenaries.
Jehanne arrived at that moment.
Yolande d'Anjou was the authority, not the Dauphin
and she was mastermind behind of these events.
The 12,500 Scottish troops on French soil played a major role in the Hundred Year War.
The Auld Alliance.
After the death of Jehanne la Pucelle,
Agnès Sorel, the mistress of Charles,
helped that always depressed Charles VII to carry on the war, especially after 1440.
Agnès Sorel, was from the Court of René d'Anjou, son of Yolande d'Anjou...
what a coincidence !!!
The Hundred Year war was a struggle between the French Aristocray the Armagnac
and the English Aristocracy.
If the English would have won, nothing would have really changed.
The population makes a nation, a country, not a King or a Queen.
With time, especially with the War of the Roses in England,
France and England would have been two very different country.
You can’t deny that England was so powerful with like a population of like 3 million compared to like 20 million in france
You do not understand the Hundred Year War. It was not a ''population war'' ! It was a French vs English Aristocracy War , each with a specific army and mercenaries ! The English had an advantage because of their longbows, at the beginning , however, England lost Normandy and Bordeaux in 1453, because the French had started to use gunpowder on a larger scale....the English were then defeated. The English retained only the city of Calais when a treaty was signed.
