This video covers the King of Bretonnia, High Paladin Louen Leoncoeur! Twitter: / lsotek Facebook: / loremasterofsotek Patreon: www.patreon.com/LoremasterofS...
-one of the greatest warriors in all of warhammer -a living demigod with blessed blood and practical immortality -slays greatest of Nurgle's greater daemons in an incredible battle -slain by a fat dude with a saw Fuck off, GW
A lot of people say they don't like how Louen dies. I kind of really think it is in character. He is an old, ancient knight, embodying honor , chivalry and loyalty. At the end of the world, when nations are fending for themselves, and his own in ruin, he rides out with his knights. To help defend his fellow man. In the middle of a catastrophic battle, Leoncoeur notices a shrine, a holy place under attack. He gives his life in protection of a lady, a place of faith and purity, What is likely the last untainted place mankind has on the world. It is gritty and gruesome, but all the more knightly, since it wasn't a catastrophic deus ex machina that killed him. But instead a lone knight, defending a holy place at the end of all things. I think a lot of new writers can stand to learn from Louen's character. He's badass and honorable, while not whimpy and snobby, An archetypical king.
As a french myself, Bretonnia appeals so much to me. I do hope they will be playable soon after release. And don't worry, I bear no grudge at your pronunciation, especially as you made such a great video about Louen Leoncoeur. Vive le Roi!
Well it's pretty much the Arthurian mythology mixed with medieval France and just a little medieval english touch (the use of longbowmen just to name one).
@@246vili So basically medieval France and england ahah, Arthurian legends was very influential in france and a lot of author write about Arthurian Legends.
fun fact; less french influence than you might think The lords speaking with french accents whilst the peasants have english ones makes me think they were playing off norman stuff, i.e. most english nobility would've spoken french throughout the majority of medieval english history
i know it's been three yers, but just so you would know. Three years later after your video, i came and discovered it. I heard of your voice the tales of Louen Leoncoeur, of Bretonnia. Now, at my turn, even though the age of sigmar has come, the end times destroyed everything we held dear, my bretonnian are still fighting, thanks to you
I like how they converted 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' into this Warhammer lore! Probably my favorite medieval legend. There is probably none with a better opening scene or premise.
Well you've successfully hyped me up for Bretonnia waiting for the flying heavy cav. Any chance of you doing a Kislev/ice queen Lore Video? Also keep up the good work
Great video Sotek, I think you just persuaded me to make my second playthrough Bretonnia (providing they are released early enough :P). Leoncoeur seems like a great man, his early exploits to impress the Lady and that final battle against Nurgle were awesome. I would have loved it if there had been more written about Thorgrims encounter with him, I like it when there is the opportunity to explore different conceptions of how best to be honourable. If you don't mind, I was wondering how Leon managed to impress Vlad von Carstein so much, was it an appreciation of his martial ability, or his personal integrity?
Great Video, hopefully this month/ week is VC as Joey from TW described in the interview online as December being green skin month. As a suggestion/ request for a related legendary Lord for Bretonia, Heinrich Kemmler & Krell? Happy new year!
+Loremaster_of_Sotek. cool, just watching your latest battle report. I haven't seen beastmen since 6th ed. this month vc month, although with systen requirements now released means theyre praticaly finished
I very much enjoy your Legendary Lords videos, however you have not covered either of the dwarf lords. Do you have no love for them or are you saving the Best for last? Keep up the good work, you have helped me so much in starting to research the Warhammer world in preperation for Warhammer Total War (or Warhammer dlc as I am starting to call it). I believe that Bretonnia will end up being the "free dlc" faction that the developers at Creative Assemble promised. It would give 3 "good" and 3 "bad" factions depending on your view on Chaos!
sotek! first you are doing a great job. keep it up. second i have never heard the prounouc of the hippogryph the way you said it. think beatrix like trix ceral or form harry potter. i like the way you said it :D do you know which way is correct or is it potato patato. i think Arch said it like trix is all. Anyway great job i love bretonnia,, just finished painting my old louen model. FOR THE LADY AND THE GRAIL AND TO BE A MEAT SHIELD FOR THE WOOD ELVES! .:D
25:20 Wow. That’s literally the equivalent of a 9yo going “Nuh Uhh I’m invisible you can’t see me.” That’s dreadful writing. I can see why from just Louens death why people despise the end times.
Well, you kinda have to raise a Hippogryph from birth, if you want it to not want you dead. Though, to be noted is this... Louen's Hippogryph, Beaquis, is faster and more agile than Deathclaw. Its also smarter... However, Deathclaw is hardier, and stronger.
Fake Lady of the Lake who is Elven. Whoever wrote this is obviously a Monty Python Fan. I mean the Moistened Bint did't even give old Lion heart a decent sword. Some Watery Tart giving him some pond water is not a mandate for supreme rule!
U and I must have read deferent books because valed turned the leech Lord to stone and leoncer died in the lap of the high priests the leech Lord never cut his head off.
I would assume that depends on the timeframe. Only in End Times is Karl Franz supersaiyan, right? In normal times, only one of the two "men" are bequeathed with superhuman capabilities.
So unless they completely rewrote this battle this is not how this happened. I own the audio book of Fall of Altdorf. This is not how the battle takes place in it.
Hi love these Warhammer Videos and i hope you keep producing more content. I just wanna give a few hopefully helping tips. 1 Have a small intro, don't go from 0-100 it can a bit annoying/scary for new people. 2 Present your self so we know who we the audience are listening to. I know its just a audience of one every view but its a nice gesture. And by presenting your self, i just mean. Hi i'm Loremaster. Not your real name or address. This is the internet and the trolls are everywhere. Well that was all i wanted to add. Hope you do more Lizardmen lore in the future and that you have a nice day. (Ps English is not my first language and I'm sorry for any grammar flaws.)
Nagash brought him back to life or... unlife i guess. It doesn't really make sense but it's the End Times so sense was the first thing trown out of the window.
If the lady of the lake is a lesser chaos deity and isn't the creation of a Daemon Prince empowerment from a god. Are Grail Knights kinda Daemon Princes sorta? Also, people say Priest of Sigmar are Space Marines of Fantasy, the Grail Knights put those bald weaklings.
This guy is always annoying in vampire count campaigns -_- I just got done killing rikeland and farming gelt for his armor trait. And then oh look who is coming down to altdorf. That or he kills red duke and himmler off before i can confederate. Im sure hes a great guy in the lore but im fed up with his bs anytime i want to do anything that isnt an order campaign.
Coming to the End Times event part years later and it's still fucking stupid, honestly the worst wargaming event since the fucking Jihad in Battletech.
"he knelt down and picked up his head"
TIS BUT A FLESH WOUND!
Kugath Plaguefather: What are you gonna do? Bleed on me?
King Louen Leoncoeur: Yeah...
Kugath Plaguefather: *Dies*
Jerec 12 TIS BUT A SCRATCH!
GW did on purpose I fucking swear
@@Kraidful Actually the story of the headless green knight comes from King Arthur. Monty Python got the idea from there.
"He never lost a battle" but then I played as him in total warhammer and his losing streak rose to match his victories...
jefthereaper **tips head** you can't lose battle if you don't go in war.
Dont bother with peasant units except archers the cavalry is there main battleline
it's because louen speaks with a french accent in-game
@@TheWarpmind unless you get Lily's overhaul and the foot knight mod. Then you get some okay foot troops.
@@brandondavis7777 well that's true but I thought he was asking for vanilla play which if your running mods then god yes

It still should’ve been someone stronger who killed him Like The norscan skull taker

I'd like tonadd that to pronounciation, obviously not perfect, is still rather good for a non French
It's surprising he never surrendered lolololol
Brettonia has quite a lot of Arthurian lore.
Well it's pretty much the Arthurian mythology mixed with medieval France and just a little medieval english touch (the use of longbowmen just to name one).
@@246vili So basically medieval France and england ahah, Arthurian legends was very influential in france and a lot of author write about Arthurian Legends.
And all this water is really wet

It's also half Charlemagne's paladins, which are french arthurian legends. Astolfo is from these legends.

Nice to have some background sound. Definitely makes it more immersive.
He's also based on Richard the Lionheart / Richard Cœur de Lion
deus vult
I'm a straight Savage race player (O&G specifically) but if I had to say Bretonnians is my favorite human force.
Thank you so much keep them coming
Perfect mixture of music & dialogue,
Now this is how a true warrior shows his prowess! :D
More lore vids! Yours are the most enjoyable
You and Book of Choyner have together educated me on Warhammer fantasy. And I appreciate y'all for it lol.
Happy new years man thanks for the awesome videos :) hopefully CA start vampire counts soon aha
5:17 seeing such a mystical Lake fills you with determination
***** Didn't know you had heartstrings to pull, Sotek. I allways assumed you were a stone Cold warhammer Expert.
Lileath whispers : Dang, you’re hot for a Hyoomin...
Bretonian: Nooo! You can’t just shoot me with a gun, that’s dishonorable!!
Gorger: heheh, leadbelcher go blam!
They can’t use guns too stupid
Well you've successfully hyped me up for Bretonnia waiting for the flying heavy cav.
Any chance of you doing a Kislev/ice queen Lore Video?

All hail King Leoncoeur! And Vlad the chad elector count for avenging him.
So he is basically King Arthur.
Nice.
Hey just wanted to check and see when we can expect your next lore video, hope all is well. From anticipating fan!
Can't wait, sorry you were sick and glad you are feeling better!
What a gosh dang badass!
this is actually pretty cool!
I'll be waiting for your "future of Bretonnia" video

Throwback!
Never knew Sheldon Cooper was into Warhammer

"Noises of the starving, sick, poor and horribly abused bretonian population chearing"
Yeah they forget to mention that when talking such good shit about Bretonnia.
An CA made a HUGE Louen Leoncoeur Freelc =D
Please make a Vlad video too.
25:20 Wow. That’s literally the equivalent of a 9yo going “Nuh Uhh I’m invisible you can’t see me.” That’s dreadful writing. I can see why from just Louens death why people despise the end times.
Hmm I'm curious what the music is at 18:10
Thank you for the content, ease try fix the audio.
The supreme gentleman, the ultimate simp
Beaquis'e backstory and traits are just a straight rip from Deathclaw lol
Desperado Could you please explain how you mean?
I know only one Deathclaw, and that is from Fallout 4, which is just a regular monster I think.
Deathclaw is the name of Karl Franz's Griffin, which he also uses as a mount and also raised from birth.
Well, you kinda have to raise a Hippogryph from birth, if you want it to not want you dead. Though, to be noted is this... Louen's Hippogryph, Beaquis, is faster and more agile than Deathclaw. Its also smarter... However, Deathclaw is hardier, and stronger.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle deathclaw is stronger. Bbq is smarter and more agile
@@animewarrior3 ...That... That is precisely what I said... What does this add to the perspective?
My god this guy was a beast lol
Ah yes, The Lady's simp.
So basically u have powerful warriors worshiping a strange being for super powers .....sounds like they are worshiping chaos beings
King louen is the man and bretonnia is the best in my opinion
why wasn't he revived again after he was killed by by the leechlord?
Kim jong_un
He ascended to godhood
Fake Lady of the Lake who is Elven. Whoever wrote this is obviously a Monty Python Fan. I mean the Moistened Bint did't even give old Lion heart a decent sword. Some Watery Tart giving him some pond water is not a mandate for supreme rule!
I can't help but it felt really cringy listening to this lore video, no fault of the creator, just the material is so self-righteous.
Poor Festus
Then why is he aggressive and unreliable in total war?
Where did you get your lore on louens early life? Because most of it is entirely contradicted by the lore I've read.
Furious Haggis
The majority of it was made up by the OP
U and I must have read deferent books because valed turned the leech Lord to stone and leoncer died in the lap of the high priests the leech Lord never cut his head off.
He has cut down many invasions of the dark gods? That must be my current campaign :'(

I wonder if he will yawn in this one like he does every time
You reckon he would beat Karl Franz 1 on 1?
Loremaster_of_Sotek Karl Franz has the better equipment but louen is a better natural fighter.

Easily, he is grail knight and karl franz is just a man
