I appreciate the heavy focus on Medieval Germany lately. For so long it felt like only England and France existed in the medieval world because that's all what was ever talked about.
Honestly to me it seems a bit assurd that they only talked about germany, while in Italy you had cities building literal city states and forming leagues for defense against the emperor of the hre, moreover there is a term for it "l'Italia dei comuni" italy of communes (not in the communist sense) because an italian state didnt exist and italy was full of small entities each projecting their own influence
@@Zeerich-yx9po hell no. In the HRE the members and the emperor were like separate beings but a caliphate had way more power due to it being more centralised.
Random fact: German cities had notoriously bad relations with their overlords, especially bishops. The city of Mainz murdered their archbishop in 1160. The entire citizenry was excummunicated but they just hosted a big party for the holy roman emperor in 1184 who promptly ignored the will of the pope and gave them back all their city-priviliges.
Killed by a butcher no less. Also the number of times that feudals told the church to pound sand makes me think that the power of religion in the Medieval period is typically overstated. The church never seems to be able to make even the lowliest knight do anything he doesn't want to do.
In short the clan system of the isles and vikings mixed with the merchant guilds in Northern Europe as well as had mercenaries just wondering around. Lead to them creating city states
I think the focus on the merchant cities ignore the incredibly more interesting webs that italian inner city states created between 1100 to 1350. Constant deadlock, fraticide warfare, struggle to eradicate or integrate remaining feudal powers, intense commercial routes, economic growth and constant rise to power of newmans, ending with the consolidation of the major italian powers by 15th century.
This channel always amazes me. Never once have I ever wondered about this topic in particular. But, as soon as I see the K&G channel releases something I have to watch it! Always so very in depth and informative. Truly wonderful what they have going here.

I really enjoy how kings and Generals uses symbols similar to symbols seen in games set at a similar time or with a similar subject. Like some the symbols in this video have a similar art style or remind me of Kingdom Come Deliverance. It helps me understand some of the context better.
This video popped up in my recommended just as I first started this very game a few days ago (granted I ...... don't really enjoy it that much due to how asinine the controls are and how obnoxious the UI is and how it somehow brings me out of the experience more than it enhances it, but that's another topic)
Meanwhile in italy: 'The emperor is under our walls, angry as hell, some valleys and most of the countryside stayed either neutral or rebelled, all the neighboring cities states took the opportunity to take us out. As long as we keep the mountain trails odds are even!'
Man. I'd love a whole series on the history of how Germany came to be. I was born and raised in Germany and was really young when I left, I'm just now starting to really comprehend the extensive history of my Homeland. Absolutely love this channel my friend! Keep it coming, I've never wanted to learn history before I stumbled upon your channel haha
Absolutely loved this episode. I love anything related the the history of cities in general, but the north of the Alps middle age cities have always been more interesting to me.
@@Anuradha-hg6tj doesn't matter, really. The low coutries were in Roman territories and their cities are very interesting trading centers. But yeah, mostly out of the direct Roman sphere. Northern Italy is also fascinating.

It's nice to see you covering the German Empire instead of the usual England/France. I was born and raised in a free "Reichsstadt" south of Ulm and this period of time is a big part of the city's identity to this day.
It would have been great, if you had talked about the role of the Reichsstldte (imperial cities), especially Frankfurt in the march to defend the besieged city of Neuss at the northern theatre of the burgudian wars. It could be stated, that it was the last big try in imperial politics of the free cities, before the territorial princes made there consolidating moves. But to focus on the exception of the Swiss confederation is totally valid, especially because it is a lesser discussed subject, at least here in Germany.
Here in Switzerland we don't learn (in Sschool) what went on in the neighburing states, except for the one that were eventually included in the federation (e.g. Neuchatel, Bale). My guess is this is deliberately done to promote national unity. I would love to have learned more about the Hanse and trade routes in europe!
I live in the territory acquired by Bern, and I'm really proud of my canton now. Show restraint when you are most successful, that's long-term thinking.
This is far more interesting than just learning about the battles. That being said I’d love a video series on the Swiss and the battles that led to their de facto independence
@@Dreagostini You're correct on nationalism, since that wasn't a thing until the 19th century anyway. However there was some sense of a common German identity, but it was a rather loose bond of language and culture compared to lets say the French. On the other hand, the Holy Roman Empire already added the "of the German nation" to its name in the 15th century, so there was a territorial idea of Germany back then too already.
@@rowingaway you should keep in mind that mediaval france was highly decentralized. probably less infighting than in the hre, but there nonetheless. brittany, elsass, lothringen, gasconny and okzitania are examples where many people would prefer to self rule their region even to this day ...
@@rowingaway It's even looser when you consider that there were several German languages. Low German and Bavarian, for example, aren't just dialects, but languages in their own rights with distinct cultures attached to them. It's often forgotten that German Nationalism also involved a very conscious political effort to unify and codify a common language, while suppressing other German languages. If history had gone differently, we may now look back at a distinct Low Germany and would maybe talk about the Hansa in terms that would make it seem inevitable that an independent and distinct Low German nation would arise from it...
Don't forget to check out our new channel - so much fun fantasy and sci-fi content on the way! ruclips.net/video/H8wJ7ir3ci8/видео.html Similar format to this channel with tactical battles!
We French defended our medieval cities by mocking our foes, and fart at their general direction from the parapet of the walls, not to mention hurling animals.
Which is why we invaded you. NO-ONE FLINGS A COW AT ARTHUR, KING OF THE BRITONS, SLAYER OF A FAMOUS HISTORIAN AND GETS AWAY WIT.. *sees another cow heading his way* JESUS CHRIST! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! *flees*
Is there any way you could publish your research documents? I’m a longtime fan of the channel and I’m in university now. These historical documentaries are awesome and I think looking at the source material could be very helpful. Thank you.
I would love if you also highlighted the strength of cities outside of Europe! What comes to mind usually is Malacca or Palembang or the Cham cities, but Chinese clans and southern Chinese cities are also highly Proto-capitalist, and say Gujarat sultanate, Tamil clans in southern India, and the Swahili cities on africa
You may be interested in the Castillian Hermandad de las Marismas, formed in northern spain in 1296 as a comercial league to protect their interests against the king of Castille.
@@LuisAldamiz Yes, of the Marismas which by that time most likely meant of the Sea. The town members were Castro Urdiales, Guetaria, Santander, Laredo, Fuenterrabía, San Sebastián and other cantabric coastal cities. They went to war against the english and french independently.
Great video as always! Could have touched more on the Italian city states though, as they were the most representative of the topic you were discussing.
9:10 Frankfurt seems a bit far south on that map. And a bit to much on the Rhine and not enough on the Main. :D I think you might have swapped it with Straßburg.
In the subtitles, there are numbers that look like footnotes - eg. @4:20 "Ghent actively recruited nobles and knights [4]" - but there's nothing in the description. Any chance we could get the footnotes/references for these?
Man you GOTTA love Holy Roman Empire. Literally the miracle of Medieval Europe. Would like to see an in depth video of HRE's workings or even a series about it.
It is interesting how this evolved into the "Bastion Fort" (trace italienne) during the early modern period This change was a consequence of the fall of Constatinople, the new weapons, such as gunpowder cannons, made it possible and necessary
The franco flemish war of the beginnign of the 14th century is perhaps the best example of medieval cities standing up for themselves, that war would make a very intresting video series
I feel using topographic maps would bring allot to your videos. Allowing viewers to see a realistic view of world geography, rather than an inaccurate stylized map. The “terrain” mode of google maps is a great example of how insightful pinpoint awareness of geography can help us understand why borders were drawn the way they were. If the rights usages are prohibitive, Perhaps you could use a topographic map as a guide to trace over your own stylized map, which still captures a high degree of geographic fidelity. As you get more into the alps it may be very revealing just how clustered sections of mountains and valleys defined the flow of history. Perhaps even revealing the flows of armies through Canyon passes, or the migration route of the Etruscans into Northern Europe.
Another interesting historical documentary. I especially enjoy these where I don't know much of anything about the topic going in. I get to learn so much 😄. Thank you! Stay well out there everybody, and God bless you friends! :)
Being under siege really sucked back then. The worst part wasn't your enemies trying to scale the walls or bombardments. Modern pluming wasn't a thing meaning waste would always end up in the city streets during the siege, causing disease with no cures invented yet to counter them, which killed multitudes of people residing inside the city.
About the Burgundian Wars and the death of Charles The Bold, in Switzerland exists a rhyme. In Grandson (First Battle) Charles lost his fortune In Murten (Second Battle) He lost his Courage And in Nancy (Third Battle and dying place of Charles) He lost his Blood For explanation, after the first battle Charles fleed with leaving all his battle equipment behind which Bern took as "payment", after the battle at Murten he started fearing Bern as a threat and in Nancy, he got killed and was found two days after the battle in a frozen pond
Title is a bit misleading, it only covers the Germanic city states of Europe. Can we get an in-depth analysis on the Italian city states? I think they played a huge role in shaping Europe especially the Renaissance. They also played a part in weakening the HRE especially the conflict between the Emperor and the Pope, with many infightings among them between those who sided with the Emperor and those who sided with the Pope - i.e the Guelphs and Ghibellines.

@@LuisAldamiz agreed. Without Bishops most cities would have been exploited or kept small by local knights and the rural aristocracy.
Nürnberg kicked out their Burggraf but kept the Burg :)
There is no Dark Age. The Dark Age is a myth espoused by historians in the 19th century because archeology was more limited back then
@@DieNibelungenliad the dark age existed, it was just not as bad as previous historians assumed and is generally called early middle ages instead.
