Bretonnia in one sentence: "They are based on Arthurian legends, and are aggressively French."
Pretty controversial 😂
If you toss in having really pretty looking but logically extremely creepy magic going for them you'd be on par.
But the peasants are from Essex England hahahah
Plot Twist: The lady of the lake was Slanesh...Haha..(joke).
@@brokeandtired wasn't the real plot twist that they tried to pull during the end times that the Lady of the Lake was actually like an elf goddess who enjoyed kidnapping boys to turn them into her own personal warriors?
I feel like i just watched a HBO documentary on Bretonnia. What an amazing video 10/10 :)
Yeah, that voice makes it even more like a documentary. :D
@@Heavente its a robot voice lol. A bit cheap towards real VA's ;)
BlueMoon what do you mean? It’s not a human speaking?
@@bluemoon539 what?
Totally agree!
For one hand i like technology and gunz, on the other one "never underestimate the full power of a cavalry charge".
the virgin Janissary musketeer vs the chad Winged Hussar
Well they do like gunpowder but only on their boats I think :-P
It's the difference between having your development sponsored by Dwarfs or Elves.
Exactly.
*Flashbacks to the Rohirrim in Lord of the Rings and the Knights of the Vale in Game of Thrones*
*When the Knights of the Meringardian Empire & Britonnia charge to the aid of the Emperor at the Alliance gate, when they were surrounded by millions of dark elves* (From my second book: The Annals of the Holy Empire: The Emperor & the King)
Well a cannon would wipe a lot of cavalry out of existence
"In the time of Bretonnia's greatest need, when it seems all hope is gone, I shall return to aid you" - Gilles le Breton aka Green Knight
I've exploded every city in bretonia with doomspheres twice now, turning every city into a radioactive sinkhole.. guess I'll have to step my game up
Gilles is basically King Arthur.
>"This event marked the Bretonnians deeply as they despise any weapon that cowardly kills from afar."
>Also masters of the longbow and trebs.
The peasants are the masters of trebs and longbows, which is perfectly fine as they don't count as actual people.
@@dakotaa7535 thats why i deeply dislike Bretonnia. Arrogant pussy knights. Praise Sigmar!
@@alexeben7776 wait what? How are they pussy knights? The Empire are the pussies hiding behind GUNS and CANNONS. Wheres the personal combat there?
@@AltoStratusX1 exactly! Checkmate Shitmar!
@@AltoStratusX1 Here come the embodiment of mounted arrogance, the Bretonnian Knights.
Ok, so was this basically a time of unparalleled peace for the rest of the Warhammer world? Cause it seems like literally every evil bastard in the world was busy having a go at Bretonnia during that one period in particular.
I guess they were just a lot of assorted threats, but all those threats werent that huge. Like a single norscan raiding fleet, an undead incursion, an orc horde and beastmen warherd but not in the numbers like they had for example in End Times.
VladTutushkin I’m pretty sure the orcs were at full strength and easily in numbers such as during the end times. Most of the great battles were against the orcs, and it we can believe a bit the stories.... well. It must been atleast a enormous orc waaagh. Or several. For the norscans, true, a single fleet capable of besieging a huge city with enormous naval defenses.... it must been sizable. Atleast. For the undead and beast men, the two together, without even speaking for the tomb kings that went from the south...
@@firstcaptainvaleriusrensor463 also, that norscan invasion sounds a lot like the great heathen army so..we are talking about numbers that conqueredthe entirety of England
@@Iruka1991 Estimates, while obviously non-conclusive, put the 'great' heathen army at a few thousand warriors at most. Also, they didnt conquer the entirety of England. But sure, the analog may be correct
I think Sigmar basically smacked around everything by around this time so they probably all decided to go after Bretonnia instead. They never would have guessed the power simping knights can bring to bare though!
Bretonnia, lovely place for a relaxing holiday.
that would be TEB, they have warm weather and pretty white beaches
Titanime but not everyone can enjoy it
Unless you're a peasant :)
unless you're a peasant
Bruh this video is 3 years old and it STILL got me so pumped to play Bretonnia in warhammer 3. FOR THE LADY!
This is the complete Bretonnia Lore video. This episode contains 2 already released videos made into one sngle piece of content. I can't wait to be back home to make some more new stuff for the channel. Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy this video.!
you should do one on Repanse de Lyonesse
Tlaqua will win in the Mortal empires!!!
The most epic thing I would like to see animated is Marcus fighting that Norse leader on top of the tower. Can you just imagine the epicness in that fight scene?
look strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a government!
If I went around callin meself Sultan just cos some wartery tart lobbed a scimitar at my 'ead, theyd lock me away!!
Nice reference dood
This is why i prefer THE EMPIRE
He's oppressed me see the oppression in the system
Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic
ceremony!
there is something quite satisfying as seeing so many french-sounding name on a map, especially when one of your childhood favorite topic was about unwavering blue knights.
I live in the real Arden's forest and I didn't see any beastmen, the Knights really did their job well !
They re-e,merged for a short time in 1944-1945 to do some damage.
Hopefully they had flex tape to fix that damage
Ardennes forest battle of the bulge Nazi germany
It seems Louen honored his promise of keeping the lands safe.
@@jdee8407 Wha
Thank the Lady for this video, for reminding me of my vow. I was on the verge of succumbing to corruption and abandoning my current Bretonnia campaign. The Bretonni infantry may not be great and route as soon as the fighting starts. So what? They still do their best to support the knights, to protect their homes, to protect Bretonnia! FOR ZE LADY
It's just like what Merlin says, *You must find faith in the noble heart. It is not in the armor that you wear but within yourself.*
*You have passed another test, Knight of Bretonnia, you are worthy to seek the Grail.*
Tlaqua will win!!!!❣😄😁 fear and honest fights!!
42:33 fun fact, Denmark has a similar legend, we have a giant statue of a Danish warrior called Holger Danske and it's said that in Denmark's darkest hour Holger Danske will come alive to defend Denmark from all her enemies
They are known as king under the mountain legends. As king Arthur has a similar tale, as well as the German king barberossa.
Wood elves: Pay no attention to Bretonia, we purposely trained them wrong... as a joke.
Which is actually true, since that was revealed in End Times.
We just had our slightly plump and bustiest to fool them.
nice kung pow reference
@@MrVlad12340 lol the end time is such bad writing, example makaith is the true Phoenix king the elven god just testing him, they forgot major character in the story
@@MrVlad12340 Really glad the End Times is collectively considered to be non-canon FANFIC tier garbage, right?
RIGHT?
Wow these videos sound just like historical documentaries on TV
Orcs: Run!! They turned invincibility on!
God damn Paladins and their Bubbles.
Thanks for the video I always wondered how did the kingdom of bretonnia came to be
I thought it was sseth for a moment there.
Such noble warriors were brettonian knights.
Also bretonnian knight: Don’t be so cruel show him mercy just cripple the man...
So how does it sound to not have any social mobility, to be illiterate for your entire life, not being able to worship any religion in public, to pay back to the noble 90% of what you earn, have your children abducted if they show that are capable of magic (and the boys never return) and so on and on, then Bretonnia is the perfect place for you if you're a lowborn.
@@bogdan3386 thats what i am criticizing friend plus its joke
@@ganerdeneuurtsaih9953 I know, Bretonnia is such a shit hole if you switch perspective from noble to lowborn. If I'm not wrong in the lore the Empire tried a few times to instigate revolts against the nobility but the problem was that the nobility cracks down so much on peasants that they are not able to organize. At least in Kislev it makes sense why they are a little bit harsher considering that the kingdom needs to be as stable as possible to be able to fight all the chaos invasions. Even The Empire is more chill where as long as you're not a chaos worshiper or suspected to be one you are pretty much alright.
Damn Gille was an absolute BADASS lol
It's so disappointing that Bretonnia was axed and their lore erased for Age of Sigmar.
Ikr. Warhammer's Bretonnia inspired me to create my own version of an Arthurian themed Kingdom in my fantasy world and books I am working on.
@@latter-daysaintbatman2679 Sounds great :) I hope I will read it some day.
Or maybe they are Flesh-Eater Courts :O
@@noisegavot9473 yeah I heard about that. Would be so badass if Bretonnia came back by means of Louen rising out of a lake as some sort of chivalry avatar, and reunites humans under the code of chivalry.
@@CanadianMeatloaf I agree. FOR ZE LADY!
The sheer quality of this video is insane.
The Lady's blessing upon you!
Reminds me of the History Channel when they used the original Total War to show what battles may have looked like.
Just started playing Total War but I dont have any background on the Warhammer universe. Your videos really help a lot to get me into it and make my games more immersive. Thank you. Watching your videos in between and after work to get really caught up into the lore.
🙏🏻🙌🏼😃 Glad you are enjoying them my friend! TW Warhammer is such a great franchise /game to get into. Enjoy!
Welcome to a grandiose universe. May the Lady/Sigmar/Slaanesh/Khorne/Nurgle/Tzeentch/Great Horned Rat (choose any two😂) guide you.
@@Jarulf4477hopefully nagash soon
So, what do you have here in Bretonnia?
"BRAVERY"
Virgin Imperial: “fOr ThE EmpErah!”
Chad Bretonnian: “For Ze Lady!”
The Virgin Chaos Horselicker versus the Chad Bretonnian Knight.
You idiots should be ashamed of yourselves - your jokes are unfunny and inappropriate.
@@tunguskalumberjack9987 The "Virgin Incel Mark Brigandi" vs the Chad NotASmith
Virgin brettonian for ze elf masters, chad imperial “for sigmar”
john schome Hahaha🤣
If they had bikes, they would do tour de Bretonnia
*The Bretonnians arrived at the siege of Brionne and they charged again and again.*
*Lord of the Rings Rohirrim moment, Bretonnian style.*
My, we need to see a Bretonnian movie. I can kind of picture all of this but we NEED an animated or live action movie or both!!
Seriously an amazing video :) Loved the quote at the end as well as a nod to the green knight.
Grail Knight: *gets impaled*
'Tis but a scratch"
Amazing video as always. Puts together the whole founding of Bretonnia in one combustive episode. You guys really nailed the heroism of Gilles and his Companions.
You guys got to do the Crusades into Araby next.
I really hope more Bretonnian content is on the way, as this is without doubt one of my favourite videos covering Bretonnia's often overlooked lore. Truly remarkable. :)
A video about our allies in the south!
This has my consent
P.S. even though they are obviously inferior to the great and might empire , By Sigmar.
@Neb lol kinda funny that the emperor can't speak the common tongue well either. "Great & might empire" 😉
They’re a bunch of Cavemen. Face it.
They needed a miracle to save themselves since they were not strong enough to do it themselves.
Now against the “Great Teeming Hordes Of Rats!” I don’t think they can win a fight in the long run.
But hey everyone have what they like. I just like my rats.
@@PandaWolf525 same with the tribes of Sigmar ....
On the other side, they resisted better than the empire to a massive invasion of the skavens. They weren’t reduced to two cities, and the y acknowledge the existence of skavens. Unlike the empire
Mate this is so gold!
Sire, the Duke of Courronne in Bretonnia calls for aid. Beastmen have laid siege to his city again. They are largely outnumbered. Will the Empire answer?
Damn thats a lot of threats all at once lmao, man Warhammer is great
Gun-Slinger Swordsman what I don’t get is why they didn’t try making them fight each other. Green skins hate skaven just let them fight each other while you deal with the beast men lol. I guess it was a long time ago maybe they didn’t know
@@balance1619 they most likely didnt know and also Bretonnian knigts are a bit on... well... dumber side. Think of them as school football team, look great, really strong but also have a brain of a hamster and unable to strategize outside of their rigid understanding of combat.
@@MrVlad12340 It's not like they could just wait for the attackers to fuck each other up since none of them are actually doing it. It's almost as if the authors made them put their differences aside to gang rape Bretonnia just so they can show how much of a badass Gilles is
@@MrVlad12340 More like a fairly decent Sunday League football team lol 😂
This is an absolutely INCREDIBLE documentary sir! I have been in the hobby for over 20years and have to say that I am ready for Fantasy to come back!! Love your videos sir, SUBBED, BELL DINGED.
Oh I love these visuals! That's a lot more effort then most lore channels do, which is pretty much purely audio!
These feel so epic and crazy, it really pulls you in with each story from start to finish.
Divinity in the WH mythos seems to have few Holy by nature types of entities and more Gods that are good at War which makes sense but in the paragon of Gods intervening it’s a little lopsided especially given how many Chaos gods are in play. Like the deck is stacked against the forces of good in their reality. Edit: maybe an Old One took the form of the Lady to give Men a fighting chance?
The dragon frechy let Breton killed was green. They describe the cloak he had made of its scales. The Knights of Bretonia trilogy describes it in detail. Furthermore he totally became the green knight.
Rather late with this but the dragon was red.
The armybook describes it as such and these are canon.
Many books made mistakes like that and GW had stated several times that only info in the armybooks and some White Dwarfs are canon.
@@visitingforgefather5997 Oh there are quite a few. GW and canon consistencies are a problem. I was an undead player back in the hero hammer days. Nagash got retconned horribly.
@@mikewaterfield3599 Yeah they sure mess up quite a few times.
I was a dwarf player, got big into the lore and such.
To this day one of my biggest bugbear (among many) was them messing up the name of the Ancestor God of runecraft Thungni ever since 6the edition I think they kept referring to him as Morgrim, who is the Ancestor God of engineering .
Even in Total War Warhammer they still messed it up despite him getting referenced in it.
I openly admit this is me getting annoyed by small stuff since there are SO many worse mistakes they made.
The constant retconning of the origins of the Slayers is almost hilarious.
No it doesn’t lol
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever watched.
Great video and great work! I had so much fun watching it! Thank you a lot! Love that strory!
Glad you enjoyed it!🙌😃
Your videos are of an incredible quality and entertaining value , thanks for putting the time in them
Hats off! An incredible documentary about the Bretonnii. A thousand likes good sir!
Jesus this was amazing gave me shivers
THE BEST WARHAMMER FANTASY CHANNEL... EVER!
Great full video The Book of Choyer.
@ 10:20 LMAO the grail knights look like snowplows and the orcs are snow lol.
Amazing quality 👍🏻 keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!🙌🙏
I just want to say thank you for this video.
This is without a doubt the most epic story of Warhammer lore I've heard. I grew up on the stories of Arthur Pendragon & the Knights of Camelot so this video hits home real deeply for me. I enjoyed every minute of this so much. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing the Oldhammer universe to life for us!
Much love!
I'm glad to hear this Keoni. Thanks for your words my friend! Hope you enjoy the rest of the availale content and the episodes to come. Cheers! 😃🙌
felt like I was watching a movie! good job!
You could do a video about Estalia and Tilea! (Spain and Italy in warhammer basically) they both have very interesting lore!
Unironically, this is the quality content that I subscribed for.
For The Lady of Lake! Her blessings will never Falter in our Faith!
This was exceptional, thank you!
Ah yes. Bretonnia. The Empire's neighboring Realm. If we are to survive, we must form an alliance of order.
Thank you for this amazing narrative
Holy shit this was well made/done!!
Awesome content! Thank you!!!
I know this is supposed to be a serious lore video but at 28:05 I watched a goblin get tossed into a tree. I can't stop laughing
I absolutely love your channel dude
I would love to see a video about lore of the game Mordheim: city of the damned... much lore to talk about there, especially the different factions you can choose
Thanks for your suggestion man! A video on Mordheim is actually coming this month😃
Awesome I can’t wait till then, most definitely will be waiting patiently...
Just stumbled across this and wow does it make me miss fantasy and my brettonian army
This is amazing Content you guys are awesome!
Thanks a lot for your words ! 😃🙏
If you condone disguised slavery I guess Bretonnia is a fine place to live in, presuming there are no threats looming in the neighborhood. The alternate option would be living/dying in a place with no hope and overrun by the forces of Chaos, Beastmen, Greenskins and Skaven.
I mean, Empire has it a bit better with peasants and commoners and their land is not more dangerous the Bretonnia.
@@MrVlad12340 Of course, I meant the alternate option of living in the same lands but without the nobles to protect them. And yes, the Empire is by far a better a place, that´s however still shitty. All in all ... I wouldn´t want to live anywhere in that world.
@@AurioDK Honestly I'd rather be a vampire with my own remote kingdom and undead army. I'd try to protect my people and provide a decent quality of living in exchange for volunteers to donate blood for my court, like only a pint at a time once a month, nothing that would tax them unnecessarily.
*Yes I know this is basically what Ushoran did and he got taken down but I'd at least pay tribute and lip service to Neferata to avoid that happening to me.
@@chrisdupuis2523 The whole vampire concept is a bit screwed up in most books and tv shows. Humanity has since the dawn of science been searching for immortality, if vampires were real there would be thousands if not millions in line to donate blood for a remote chance to become immortal, vampires would not go hungry to bed, that´s for sure. Even in modern times people get their heads/bodies frozen in cryo containers, no, vampires would be worth their weight in antimatter.
Unless the vampire is an outright psycho there would be no reason to kill people and turn them into vampires, in fact a vampire´s worth would be measured in their numbers, the more vampires the less worth they are. They should always fear the religious fanatics though :).
Incredible. Thank you.
Amazing video
I can't wait to buy a decent rig and finally play Total War: Warhammer II
fooking great vid gj
My fav Order faction. Loved the video!
10/10 the best stories ever told
by the Lady of the Lake and Lich King, this has to be the most magnificent well writing story I ever read/heard, tear starting forms on my eyes on the twelfth battle where the Campione surrounding those savage beast, the green-skin and the stinking vermin from all sides, but the Campiones did not fear but it not ease my worry the kept dwelling in my heart.
Each word pass, when the twelfth Battles starting to reach it Climax, I burst down in Tear and grasp my hands tightly listen closely to the end how Campione's come out victorious!!!! Then my heart sunk when Gilles weres struck down by the arrow by an unknown assassin and cried in grieve and joy when I read Gilles's final last words.
I don't know how to describe when my emotion become swelling around in my heart, this is kinds of a story I've always wanted to read, and thank you posting this one.
Watching this gave me goosebumps all the way. If I was in the warhammer universe, I'd pledge my alligence to The Lady.
Enjoyed this thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend!
23:37 Typo: "The first Grail Knight was not meant to survive that night." (It is written "that knight" instead of "that night")
thank you ! ✅
@@TheBookofChoyer My pleasure, I really like your content.
Great job!
Criminally underrated channel
These videos are phenomenal
Great! I love this series!
Too good content !!! Love that.
How can you zoom so far on the units, what are the settings and mods ?
Amazing as always choyer, thanks for the video. Thearenfyre
Bretonnia is freaking awesome!
5:50 gives me chills
This was beautiful
I'm honestly not a big fan of Bretonnia, but even I can’t resist how cool *you* guys make them sound
Love this channel
That's a lot of great battles
Awesome videos. Simply amazing. This is how it's done. I am not interested in the lore that much but man do I enjoy watching these videos.
Thank you! Really appreciate your words brother. 🙂
@@TheBookofChoyer the voice, the emotion I can hear. I just now watched the Karl Franz video and it gave me goosebumps! I have now watched all of your lore videos and have subscribed. The first one I watched was about the Skaven I think and that part with the rain and the bells oh man. I felt like watching a horror movie. You certainly did an awesome job. You are very talented. Keep up the good work and good luck.
I've watched a few videos and I'll be honest, you're like the Fantasy version of Luetin! Awesome!
If goblinslayer was in warhammer he definitely would joined the grail knights cause they really love to kill goblins.
For some reason I see him being more of an Empire mercenary or traveling sellsword that has a particular disdain for the gobos.
8:11 Nah man... That is a typical greenskin aim.
that was like something out of lord of the rings bloody brilliant!!!!!
Take a shot every time the number of enemies slain was uncountable.
This makes a break from 40K thank god! Cheers for this 😄
P.S I’ve subscribed, too awesome👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
There needs to be a movie of this
Awesome Ceres
this video got me hooked on this channel like a slave.
Wait... MFers had 160 years to come up with proper defenses and still didnt?
Don’t need them Chief we got a sexy bitch in a lake
everyone has been dragging their feet for the last century when it comes to climate change, sooo not particularily unbelievable? :D
Exactly. Their cavemen. Only a miracle saved them because they can’t do it themselves because of their “honor”.
Learn to use a gun boys. It helps a lot.
@@PandaWolf525 only until the orcs reach your lines and slaughter your pitiful gunmen.
Learn how to swordfight coward, it helps alot
@@yeeyee5057 they cant get close if you blast them with organ guns, bombards from gyrocopters and flame throwers. Learn the way of black powder and steam, it helps.
For the Lady!
Very nice
Damm.. That was sooooooooo good..
