I trained for a few weeks with the British military; every morning, the chow hall had a (mostly) full English breakfast. It's a cornerstone of their culture.
I'm seeing him bonk everyone on the head with a conker on a string. One he's carefully baked or vinegared and coated in nail varnish (or all three) just as all British school kids have gone to battle with over the years. Imagine him hovering over an oven not sure if it's too early or late to bring it out lmao!
The Valois didn't rule France until after Edward III became king of England, prior to that France was ruled by the house of Capet which the house of Valois was a cadet branch of.
@@Conorp77 meh, its a detail that’s pretty irrelevant to the narrative of this war. Its a minor forgivable mistake and would just make things harder to follow for most people. But they usually acknowledge little flaws like that at the end of the series in a separate episode.
@@MerkhVision Actually it's a pretty major detail since Edward's claim to the French throne came from the fact that he was the only living grandson of Philip IV. Philip VI however was Philip IV's nephew and so he and the Valois were not direct descendants of him.
I absolutely love David Crowther. His History of England podcast isn't just interesting, he's utterly hilarious in a quite unique and decidedly English way.
The map of Flanders at 6:30 is incorrect. That's the current political region of Flanders. The historical County of Flanders was only the western part of the current region. The eastern part (Brabant and Limburg) belonged to the Holy Roman Empire.
They do this too with France, portraying it with its modern-day borders which makes it appear as if the English were going against an ever bigger behemoth. France was almost half its current size at the time, with unruly vassals in Burgundy and Provence.
Finally an accurate portrayal of the English nobility and Plantagenets especially not as English since they never were but as French. I applaud you! This will make the transition to the Lancastrians and the birth of a truly English nobility all the more interesting! Definitely gives me hope for the rest of the Plantagenet period of English history and makes me want to check out these podcasts.
@@the_dropbear4392 plz stop, its even said in the video plantagenet were a familly coming from Anjou, a very french region, i know you dont like to know its french people who created english country but its the truth and history
@@pratikmaitra8543 Technically they were both, since Henry II(first Plantaganet king) claim to the throne wasn't through his father(Geoffrey of Anjou) but through his mother, Matilda. Daughter of Henry I
Wrong , as edward was king of england an lived there, he was not french as didnt live there as it wasnt his home - he just wanted its land as it was his by treaty. Otherwise you might aw well say that prince charles was japanese after he ate sushi.
3:55 You can still hear this Noble/Peseant divide in modern English language. In English, farm animals take their name from the Germanic words of the Peseants who reared them, but their meat takes it's name from the Noble's French word (as they ate them) Sheep/Mutton (mouton) Cow/Beef (boeuf) Deer/Venison ( venaison)
There's also the notorious VERNACULAR NOUN / LATIN ADJECTIVE divide, not only in English, but also in the various Romance languages. dog -- canine bird -- avian sky -- celestial right-hand -- dexterous word -- verbose wound -- vulnerable power -- possible fun -- divertive wheel -- rotatory island -- insular crane -- gruiform
What you are saying is somewhaty true enough (the Kingdom of England was obviously not part of the kingdom of France whatever the nobility felt like) but the point here is, that this conflict is a major part of what gave birth to the notion of todays English' nationality.
Nah, England was a separate kingdom ruled by a French noble family after William the Conqueror of Normandy seized the crown in 1066. That family just happened to also be Lords of a French fiefdom, so France thought all their lands should be considered vassals of the French crown. Normandy was still subject to French rule, but England wasn't. Easy mistake though, medieval politics is all over the shop.
The history of the 100 year war is so fascinating. I discovered it with the video game Crown Wars, and I'm just watching every history video about this period now
I understand why the focus is set on England, but the war also very much shaped the development of France and I for one would have liked a bit more French perspective.
@@nomblob5592 Yeah, most of the time, they stick to the edwardian phase of the war and Agincourt and forget they got their asses handed to them the rest of the time.
Ah, yes. The greatest "mine is biggest" contest in medieval history. One should wonder what face the leaders of both kingdoms put, when they realized that Germans, Italians and Iberians had all prospered beyond them, while they burned the wealth of their countries in inconclusive battle after inconclusive battle.
@@conagherdenson2194 the german "being busy" was a bit later mostly(at least if you're pointing to the 30 year funtime we had here), but even without it they were not really prospering because of the massive devision in germany.
I mean, the French and British wound up as among the biggest European powers of the next few centuries, peaking in the 19th century, so they couldn't have messed up _that_ badly.
@@klake5375 TL:DR. the Dutch and Scilly ended up in a war due to the English Civil War... and then promptly forgot about it. Three Hundred Thirty-Five Years later, a local historian finds a small reference to the war and lets the dutch know about it, where they then officially sign a peace treaty for the war that neither side even knew was going on.
"The French were at the gates! Well, not the literal gates, actually it's a complex dynastic claim involving several hundred years of medieval inheritance, lore, and international politics. We should be able to cover that in just a few sentences." Dear gods, Mr. Crowther is savant at wit and narration! His tone MAKES this episode!
*@Xavier Debidour* True, but it was during/after the Hundred Years Wars that "English" became the language of the nobility "again" (although the English language was by now irreversibly and significantly influenced by French; adopting and anglicising many French words), and started to be used in courtly writings etc. That's partly why the Hundred Years Wars are often seen as the defining "birth of a nation" moment in English history - over a century of wars created a real sense of nationalism, and were the crucible in which the Anglo and Francophone elements of England truly unified.
i can respect the owner of a small group / company actually giving a father paternity leave from their job (pretty sure you guys do this full time right?) , MAJOR props either way man
As a French i find it funny how we have the biggest rivalry in human history with England, and yet we are so close in so many levels... - People basically consisting in former Roman empire, Celtic and Germanic tribes. - One conquering each other. - Highly centralized countries early in european history. - Philosophical / political innovations, UK liberalism, French enlightenment ...
Matthew Arsenault ahhh but in terms of battles won per year of existence(since the French count includes Frankish victories) both England and the US beat France
Connor Marlow to be fair, the jokes about France only really cropped up during the latter half of the 20th century. Before 1914, France was one of the most powerful military forces in the world. France still is a force to be reckoned with to this day.
I watched this video months ago. i liked it, but it was quite difficult to follow through all what happened and when. Now I have a better understanding of English history and I´m super glad this video exists. I love the animation and how you visualize history. It not only makes it easier to follow, but also easier to remember. Thanks for that!
**Phillip confiscates Gascony** Edward: Oi, Phil, could I have a word, mate? Phillip: Talk to my hand, you English welp. **Laughs in French** Edward: Oh, well, in that case, can my FIST have a word WITH YOUR FACE?!
Ah don' wanna talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food-trough wiper! Ah fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
Just a hesistant correction: By the time of Edward the Third the Valois were actually relatively new to the throne of French and those French monarchs that previously chipped away at English lands in France were in fact of the house of Capet. In fact Edward the Third was the(maternal) grandson of Phillip the 4th of France.
Those were French victories when he his clearly talking about how the war is remembered in England. Of course the English don't remember Castilon because it's where they lost.
@@DisorderlyFashion Wich is a shame, since the focus on the English tactical victories take away from the greater picture (wich is essentially England being in a battle of attrition against a kingdom with more ressources). I do hope that they will touch on things such has the French scorched earth strategy and the birth of the French Army wich were both very important during the war.
I really love watching your videos. Can you make a series about the history of Spanish monarchy and also about Pharaohs who reigned Ancient Egypt next? Please and thank you! ❤
Shoutout from Ghent in Flanders! Not used to hear my hometown mentioned on RUclips :p Fun fact, the city’s nickname is after a noble who encouraged us to collaborate with the English and not the French during the 100 years wars (Jacob Van Artevelde). He has a statue on one of the main squares and points to England :)
Ironisch genoeg leidde Van Arteveld een opstand doorheen Vlaanderen en confronteerde beide Franse en Engelse legers. Hij was geen collabareerder ofzo. Hij wasde leider van een opstand van het 'rebelse' Gent
I'm really excited for this video series! I'm a proud American, but I love learning about my English roots, and who doesn't like stories about knights and stuff
As an anecdote, Admiral Fernando Sánchez de Tovar led the Castilian fleet along the French one in 1380 and they sacked multiple towns of southern England, even going as far as sailing up the Thames and burning a town thar was just 20 miles east of London.
did you fail to understand that this war was NOT a modern war between nation states but between two french dynasties ? the narrator who is BRITISH himself said it, you are NOT siding with england by following the plantagenets HECK that name def does NOT sound english at all.

Everybody is talking about history, while I'm thinking about the sweet and creative way to call a newborn baby "Rob's brand-new miniature family member."
Actually, Britain wouldn’t ‘rule the waves’ for a few centuries after the 100 years war would conclude. We only got a heads up on the competition because the Spanish Armada (which was enroute to crush us) got annihilated by a storm in the English Channel.
Oh my gosh, you've released this just as I'm writing a historical political science essay on the Hundred Years War and Wars of the Roses! Very helpful and entertaining, thank you Extra Credits ! :D
4:04 if you have seen that emblem of three golden lions on a red background as a symbol for "England" somewhere (Age Of Empires II and Medieval II: Total War are the examples I know of), this is where it's from. The three lions represent the three courts of England, Normandy and Anjou

Me: Oh, so the generation had come along for 100's of year's, COOL!
Btw it is at 6:07
English accents are very soothing, my friends tell me I have a English accent, but I'm only 2% English, I'm mainly Irish, but great job, I will definitely check out your podcast
@@Madhattersinjeans Indeed
Oi! Mate! Would you care to direct me to the nearest tea stand? After living in America for 3 years, my body is craving British tea. GIVE ME THE TEA!
Dont ever get between a Brit and his tea (be a chum and dont dislike for my presentation on a stereotypical Brit)
Awesome vid
Everybody is talking about history, while I'm thinking about the sweet and creative way to call a newborn baby "Rob's brand-new miniature family member."
Fingers crossed for a Wars of the Roses video!
*whispers* go house York
A YORK! A YORK! Fingers crossed for the Wars of the Roses!
Welcome David!
Have a good break Matthew! Congrats on the wee one!
Rule Britannia starts playing in the distsnce
Actually, Britain wouldn’t ‘rule the waves’ for a few centuries after the 100 years war would conclude. We only got a heads up on the competition because the Spanish Armada (which was enroute to crush us) got annihilated by a storm in the English Channel.
@@LOZFFVII Yeah, that's more appropriate for the Second Hundred Years' War.
LOZFFVII J-just let us have the moment...
When you start feeling sweaty when someone else does narrating, but the narrating is great.
4:58 Is that a Jojo Reference?
Love these videos. Informative and quite entertaining. Keep up the good work!
OMG YES YES YES i’m literally about to do a project for this. And One of my favorite RUclipsrs made a video of this subject. You saved my life.😃
This is by far my favorite period in English history
5:40 - you missed the part where the English smelt of elder berries!
What an incredible set up, i can't wait for the rest of this series!
I love your videos! I hope you never stop! You made me love history!
So calming to listen to
2:28 We can see the Rose of Tudors ( a mixture of the Rose of Landcaster and the Rose of York) which was created only in 1485...
Aaahh so this events inspired miura for the golden age arc. Such a fascinating history
*Berserk Golden Age (Movie Series) Hundred Years War theme intensifies*
Even even 4 years later, this video series still slaps.
You know you're extra early if the viewcount is less than 100
Oh my gosh, you've released this just as I'm writing a historical political science essay on the Hundred Years War and Wars of the Roses! Very helpful and entertaining, thank you Extra Credits ! :D
Oh shit, here we go again, time to replay Crusader Kings 2
4:04 if you have seen that emblem of three golden lions on a red background as a symbol for "England" somewhere (Age Of Empires II and Medieval II: Total War are the examples I know of), this is where it's from. The three lions represent the three courts of England, Normandy and Anjou
Next series do the one that inspire GoT; The War of The Roses
That is the sequel to the 100 Years War.
My knowledge on military/war history is not my strongest
I love the History of England Podcast! This is going to be so grand.
