Why. He twisting things for his own reconditioning. When he says half the population was killed in Carn. That's not the number taken from the full population number lol but he says it like it is. Most had run expecially the rich. This is modern propaganda
His review of history is childish. He thinks he is very clever, attacking the Brits and how they fought wars is silly. He should reflect on history including modern times and NATO and so forth. War is cruel and a bloody business and always ends up killing the innocent bystanders. At no time in all human history has this changed!
No he pollutes history with his biased modern apologist take. His speculation on the route deliberations creates false tension that did not exist. Too many ego shots and ugly tattoos. If you learn your history from this you are receiving a false narrative, look elsewhere for your knowledge.
I lived in Banbury, England when I was a kid, even have picture of me standing in front of Warwick Castle, completely oblivious to any of the historical significance 😢 because of these videos with Dan Jones I am completely caught up and wish they were available back in the 1990’s!
Dan jones is such a great historical communicator. There are better historians but none better at translating history into a way your average viewer could have interest in.
Love love loooooove me some Dan Jones. I could literally watch/listen to him all day! Informative, entertaining, nice voice, brilliant accent and easy on the eyes too...just yaassssss. ❤❤❤❤❤
Ah, there is a Part 2? I'm interested to see where exactly they show the battle because Livingston claims Domvast...which is compelling. I went there last year and agree with him. I put up some footage on RUclips too.
Great presentation by Dan Jones, no stupid infantile jokes, just intelligent dialogue. Historians generally agree that the 14th c was overall the most violent in the history of Europe and this campaign was typical of what the citizens constantly faced. Part 2 please?
Yes we need a full exploration of this conflict! Add to the excellent narrative some of the practical explanations of tactics and the weapons... Tod's Workshop would be a great start.
I’ve visited France about 30 times over the past 47 years and seen all of Normandy and paid my respects at the cemeteries and monuments of the 1st and 2nd world wars, especially at the Welsh Dragon at the Somme battlefield (because I’m Welsh obviously..). I love Calvados for obvious reasons and paired with crepes it’s utter perfection ! The food is especially delicious here. We’ve visited Brittany many times, Paris (I stood by the Eiffel Tower but didn’t go up - it’s better seen from a distance as someone who’s deathly afraid of heights plus you get the full perspective), Rouen, Bordeaux, Champagne, Cognac, travelled through the Alps, been to Perpignan, Nice, Provence, La Rochelle (my personal favourite), Royan and La Palmyre near Les Mathes. I’ve got cousins who have a house in St Jean D’Angeley near Saintes and we visited regularly as children and as adults staying about 20 minutes away. I love Cognac and visiting the cellars and producers such as Rémy Martin and Courvoisier. We love Royan, the Charante Maritime, Vendee and the Loire and Rhone Valley as well as the Dordogne. It’s a beautiful country with incredible scenery, food and wine and the people are friendly and welcoming especially when you at least try speaking the language ! That’s where most people come unstuck, they don’t even try and often get a poor response from the French people.. If you at least try, they love it and love trying their English out on you ! I’d recommend everyone to go and see all of these beautiful places and try the wonderful food especially regional specialties that that particular region is known and celebrated for, as well as the fabulous wine, champagne, cognac and Calvados - go and enjoy it !!
Did a report on this once particularly in regards to tactics and technology changing the nature and thus outcomes of warfare... fascinating how this repeats itself
The title is misleading - should be "Retracing the ransacking and pillaging of Normandy by the army of Edward III in 1346". As the video does not cover the Battle of Crecy it shouldn't be in the title.
There is a part II I think. Nonetheless, the constant talk about how violent wars are is just silly now. Historians should be grown ups who understand that humans do wars because we can and we will and this is perfectly normal. No wars leads to social collapse which is very peculiar. Humans do poorly during peacetime. Namely, they fight each other at home! Best to take this to someone else!
@@emsnewssupkis6453it’s just fashionable these days to pretend England and Britain were the only countries to ever wrong people 🙄 Good video on the whole though and doesn’t stop me being extremely proud of being English 🏴
@@dwaynefoley1020 I think that's a bit silly boys. If this is a video about the Crecy (a famous English victory) campaign then its pretty reasonable for them to cover the cheveches leading up to it. I'm sure in their 1066 videos they cover Norman/French atrocities. The past is a different country, where broadly everyone was pretty unpleasant compared to now. And if you are proud of that then good luck to you!
Fantastic storytelling - I will check out the book from Dan. The background ambience horn sounds you used throughout this documentary are they accessible publicly?
The trope of a king stumbling upon coming ashore, and turning it into a positive omen is fairly common; Alexander the Great and William the Conqueror just off the top of my head, before Edward.
Really like this presenter, animated and so knowledgeable. But holy crap his sleeves are amazing ! More please! Someone said there's a part 2? Looking forward to that!!
Wanted to learn about the Battle Crecy as the title listed. Still wanting. Kind of false advertising. If there are multiple parts, it should be listed as such. I enjoyed "Part 1". He is a good story teller.
A wonderful historical coverage episode about crecy wars in 1346 AD in Normandie led by English Edward King ...what a dirty,crucial political business beneath a brilliant smartness framework of an English (Edward ) King
Good grief. I descended from 'chivalry' class of people (after voting to behead the King our family fled to Flanders and then to New Holland in the New World). We fought all the time, fought in France, fought in England and then fought in the New World. We made history and history always was and is a bloody business. Being all wimpy about this business is irritating. Good grief. Wars are human events. Humans have been at wars since we first used rocks attached to sticks for crying out loud.
Thanks for these!!!!!! WHERE do these soldiers PUT all the loot during this long campaign? I picture the horses and knights and all the soldiers traveling rather "light" for this. Where do they put their stuff until it is over? AND, I imagine those soldiers had plenty of deadly fights when the "stuff" of one was challenged by the other! This is wonderful!!!!!
Thanks to the Maiden of Orleans Jeanne D'Arc. She successfuly beat the English by leading the Blue Army to Army. Put I praised the tenacity and courage of the red army 🏴🟥👑 🇫🇷🟦⚜️
I love history; especially Medieval European History. But I could never have been an Historian. What kind of memory would one have to have in possession of in learning such a vast amount of knowledge ? History has no rules. This is what I find so difficult, to remember. Mathematics is for me. It`s not easy, but at least it has rules.
What a wonderful programme, withthe usual mastery of Jones on his subject and the beauty of images that makes you drool. Congratulations! Now, the shade of revisionism concerning the cruelty of war in the past is absurd. History must not be a vindication of present conceptions on pacifism,
It's not about pacifism. It's about looking honestly at what lies beneath the supposed glory of medieval kingship - ruling over extreme brutality while seeking to profit from it.
The chevauchee period is very interesting. the idea of pillaging rather than taking territory makes me wonder what might have been if they'd committed to an actual invasion and populated that area earlier than they did
One of my ancestors was at the Battle of Hastings. It didn't take much to take over. All the successful soldiers got land and peasants and horses so they merrily lived it up for several hundred years! Whoopee! This didn't require a huge invading force, just men in armor and boats and horses taking over the top parts of the systems and then being 'police' to keep things running afterwards! We left England when the Civil War broke out and we were on the losing side and fled to the New World. And resumed fighting over there! here in America.
The part about an opposed landing is purely for drama. There was no reason for it to ever happen in medieval warfare. The attacker would simply land where the enemy wasn't. And certainly never against prepared positions. This is why raiders were so effective; pop up with fast ships, strike an easy target and get away before any land forces could catch them.
24:10 In my opinion Dr. Elodie Giard does some unfounded generalisations about the mindset of people in the medieval age. All right, her focus is the hundred year war in which such atrocities like the _scorched-earth policy: the chevauchée_ were executed without a doubt. But you simply can't extrapolate this kind of warfare to the whole medieval age.
I seek out history videos and watched a Dan Jones/Dan Snow program on the Crusades and liked it. I did not stay with this one though because of Dan Jones’ heavily tattooed arms which distracted me too much. ;(
This title is misleading. The Battle of Crécy is not featured here at all. Everything in the video preceded the battle. I suggest the title should be modified to, 'King Edward Invades Northern France' or 'The Campaign towards Crécy' or something of the like. I like the video. The title does not entirely match with the content is all.
great as usual with Dan Jones. about looting an raping and all the bad thing they did , Edward ' s army was men of their times .I red some reports about the eastern campaign of La Hire ,Xantraille (friends of joan arc ) on french side and it was spicy as well ! anyway thumb up
Dan Jones needs to be given a Giant budget, and a netflix or amazon series, to cover the full hundred years war.
Couldn’t agree more
Why. He twisting things for his own reconditioning. When he says half the population was killed in Carn. That's not the number taken from the full population number lol but he says it like it is. Most had run expecially the rich. This is modern propaganda
F netflix.
@@britishpatriot7386 BBC means something else on this side of the pond.
Agreed.
Need more videos with Dan Jones, love every episode with him
Dan is my fave for sure, I wish he did the reading for his audiobooks too

Warwick Castle is amazing
Warwick Castle isn't brilliant at telling it's own history 🤣. It's more of a theme park than a site of education, still very enjoyable though.
Dan Jones is simply the best history presenter out there! I've enjoyed learning about the Plantagenents through his videos!
Love to see Dan Jones on History Hit!

Dan Jones is a class act, I love his narration in every series he does, you can't tell he loves medieval history.
Dan Jones Explains Better than Anyone!
Love Dan as a host, and an author. Essex Dogs is a great read.
I agree its a great story, I listened to it on Audible.
I have it coming to me from my library! Looking forward to reading it.
Is it? Usually not my fare.
I have his history books, The Plantagenets and The Wars Of The Roses.
@@scottibee2167 I've been looking for some new books to read, if you had to pick one, which would you recommend?

Amazing documentary, incredible book and awesome narration. Dan Jones is the handsome historian we history buffs wish we could be
Finally some new content. Not the same documentaries disguised with new titles and thumbnails. Thank you !
Dan Jones is a freaking legend !!
I waited so long for a good Crecy documentary, with Dan Jones I'm even more happy. Thanks so much for the upload

Cannot wait for the 2nd Essex Dogs, just finished the first and lover it. Could be a good mini tv series.

I love you Dan Jones!
Your exquisite style of storytelling.
If only you were my "History" teacher, I dont know what Id become.
Thanks to all who work on this amazing Channel, no doubt they are the best suppliers of accurate History.
I have been looking forward to watching this ever since I was waiting for Essex Dogs to come out, and I have to say, I was not disappointed!
This guy is one of the best out there !!!!
The Archers Tale by Bernard Cornwell gives a good imagined look at the sack of Caen and the 1346 campaign in general.
Did a report on this once particularly in regards to tactics and technology changing the nature and thus outcomes of warfare... fascinating how this repeats itself
Fantastic and powerful documentary
Dan Jones has a great podcast called "This Is History", I am impatiently waiting on season 3.
Love you Dan watch every video you are in!
Dan's the best, love the vid great work guys
Is there going to be an episode on the actual battle of Crecy? A bit disappointed that it wasn’t included.
His book Essex Dogs is fantastic!
BRILLIANT WITH DAN
Even recent balding Dan Jones is so good as a historian narrator. No bs politics, just actual passion for the past.
Agreed. He makes learning history cool.
You didn't have to throw the balding in there 😂
just finished essex dogs so loving this

William T. Sherman furiously scribbling notes.
The trope of a king stumbling upon coming ashore, and turning it into a positive omen is fairly common; Alexander the Great and William the Conqueror just off the top of my head, before Edward.
Makes me think the story is apocryphal
Heard it about Henry V as well
It was the norm in thst era. Woke has been added here to make the English look bad again. Can't stand this man crap twisting history
Really like this presenter, animated and so knowledgeable. But holy crap his sleeves are amazing ! More please! Someone said there's a part 2? Looking forward to that!!
He is biased and presents a warped view of history through a modern lens. Caveat emptor.
I LOVE his tats! I wish I could get a closer look at them! So far only spotted a butterfly, two roses and a snake on his chest

So what happed to the battle ?

I like the inclusion of the medieval accounts and illustrations. Are the colors really that vibrant?
I watched, the Wars of the Roses, the Plantagenets, and the 1066 series. Hopefully, there will be series on the Hundred Years War as well.
I love that the chapter titles give "Chevrolet" for "Chevauchée"!
Crecy, 1346. And then the Black Death in 1348 -1349. Not a good time for anyone in Normandy..
