What total war game and mod is the footage from? Is it Attila total war and the 1212 AD mod? It would be handy if you mentioned the source of footage in future videos, I want to play that mod lol
You skip one big event between Poitiers and Bretigny with Edward 3 chevauchee in 1359-1360. Edward 3 tried to force the two treaty of London in 1358 and 1359 which will give him a massive ransom and all the land of the old Plantagenet empire but the future Charles 5 and the general estates refused them so Edward start another chevauchee hoping another big battle. The Valois refused this battle and close all the cities on their way starting an attrition war. Because of the Winchelsea raid, Edward tried to besieged Paris but failed and started to made war crime because the lack of supplies and success in the countryside. Finally, Edward stated the siege of Chartres but the Plantagenet suffer a tempest and lose 1000 men and will be seen as a divine punishment for their behaviour called the black monday. Edward will be forced to withdraw his chevauchee and finally sign the treaty of Bretigny wich will be far less advantageous than the treaty of London because he had to give up his claim to the french throne, give up the Normandy, Anjou and Maine and only take the Aquitaine and the ransom for Jean 2 will be 3 millions gold instead of 4.
I'm a busy Dad and have only been watching this about 15 min at a time inconsecutively (only when there is peace and quiet because i genuinely dont want to miss any detail) and just wanted say... Thank you. This is a work of art and a magnificent transcription of the past. The Hundred Years War(s) is an obsession I didn't know I had until now. You all did an excellent job. In your statistics, if you see many people watching a bit and stopping, just know that many of us can't commit 3.5 hours to anything other than our families and (our) work. We appreciate your content all the same; perhaps more so Thank you.
An alternative approach I favour is have various campaigns on as background interest while doing my daily chores Washing up ironing etc. Just took me the hundred years war to tidy the living room This afternoon The Battle of Medway and pearl harbour and tackle the laundry pile. Tally Ho !
I absolutely second this. I love history of all kinds and all the channels making quality work out there for us to enjoy are the real heroes. Too many people couldn’t care less about any kind of history but w these vids there is still a chance these kind of vids will engage them.
Hello! I’m Johan and I am the writer who have stitched together the episodes of the Hundred Years War series. Apart from fixing some stuff (most importantly YELLOW England), adding some more infoboxes for context or minor events, we have also added new battles and campaigns: -More detail in the start of the war in Flanders -Battle of Sluys 1340 -Battle of Saint Omer 1340 -Post Crecy - w/ Seige of Calais (1348-49) -Bretton Civil War (1343-1365) w/ Battle of Mauron and Battle of Auray (1365) -Castillian Civil War with breef introduction of the War of the Two Peters w/ Battle of Najera -Battle of Cocherel 1364 -Carolinian phase, with Siege of Limoges (1370) and Battle of Pontvallain -Flemish rebellion of 1379-85 and Battle of Roosebeke -Siege of Harfleur 1415 -Battle of Verneuil 1424 -Battle of Patay 1429 -Campaigns in 1431-43, tying together the two parts -The aftermath and effects of the war Hope you enjoy our complete documentary on the Hundred Years War!
I really can't fathom what it's like to be at war for 116 years years. Even the fact that they only called it the hundred years' war because no one was alive anymore who remembered a time before it started is just difficult to wrap your brain around.
It also part of the reason the English call the French ‘The Old Enemy’. We have fought for so long and so often that it became a way of life. Glad we are more or less friends politically speaking these days. But the old rivalry is still seen alive mostly in sporting contests. Both parties enjoy getting a victory over the other.
Something that also adds to this, is the fact that in this war, while spanning an enormous amount of time and land, there were lengthy peaceful intervals inbetween periods of very intense warfare, and certain areas could go years without any sign of a war going on, and then be raided and sieged out of the blue. It was a far less 'cut and dry' affair than we often think of as typical of armed conflicts.
@lordomacron3719 Can confirm, the english will seize every petty occasion to get a victory over us. But it would be hypocrite from my part to deny that we do the same
@onkelkonkel : the French kings continually used three first names Louis, Philip and Charles. And yes at times with a succession of one of them ;) Why these three ? Louis as reference to the founder of the first line, Clovis of the Merovingians, Charles for the Carolingians and Philip from the eastern Roman emperors (through queen Ann, born in Kiev and whose gran was a Byzantine empress).
I love this channel. It's literally the best history channel on yt and elsewhere. Literally every relationship and battle is broken down in such an exciting way
I don't know for Edward but it was unlikely for Philippe to think ahead about the tour de nesle affair, the Jacques de Molay curse and his 3 sons all dying in their 20s-30s without sons (Jean 1 was Louis 10 son but he only lived and ruled 5 days and that made him the best Jean/John to ever ruled in England or France)
@robert-surcouf Edward III didn't want to start a war with France. His eyes was on Scotland because he wanted to get revenge for the humiliating Edinburgh-Northampton treaty that his French mother signed to stab the English in the back. When the French embargoed English wool exports into Flanders, the English nobility in Parliament persuaded Edward III to push his claim to the throne so they could could plunder and reestablish English trade hegemony over France.
I heard that Edward the 1st's law of every village being required to train longbowmen for the English army is still technically in effect, if not in practice.
@thomascatty379 Louis XI's nickname in French was "l'universelle aragne" the universal spider, like the spider he weaved the threads of his power with patience and constancy.
@TheStrategos392 Paul Murray Kendal’s famous biography is brilliant as well. It presents him, rightly, as an intensely multifaceted and intellectual personality-similar to Frederick II Hohenstaufen-who seemed to have a universal capacity for understanding things and foresight.
Funny how Fance and England ended up in opposite positions at the end of the Hundred Year's war. In the 1330s, France was plagued by civil war, a weak monarchy, very strong and powerful nobles, and generally weak and divided. This gave a more centralized, stronger, and powerful English monarchy an opportunity to gather their forces and invade, cultimating in Agincourt in 1415. By the end of the war, it was England that had the weak monarch, had a civil war brewing, a series of battle hardened nobles who won glory in France with enough titles and land to challenge the king, plus they were broke from the oh I don't know, half a dozen invasions of France they had done. But France became a more centralized monarchy, with a standing army, the nobility was subbordinate to the crown, and the experiences of over a century of war made them extremely determined. The main difference is the French never made claims to the English crown, and they never tried to invade England during the War of the Roses. They were too exhausted in both willpower and resources to mount such a campaign. That being said, other than the 1640s, the 1450s was probably the best opportunity in France's history to invade and take over England. They had no real navy, a divided nation, and were weak and humiliated by war. I'm very happy that England (UK now) and France are buddies and they put aside all those centuries of war.
It really relied on a few decisive humiliating battles like the siege of Orleans, Castillion, Formigny, Patay with no battle won in the english side for more than 3 decades except maybe for Bordeaux when the people opened the gate for John Talbot because they wanted a special treatment in France witch the King refused.
There's a fair amount wrong with this such as the new class of men who took over the minor royal houses such as York and Lancaster were from trading Magnets and Oxford dons to put it in a really simplistic rubbish modern way. This ofc has something to do with the flower of england being spent in france and the meritocracy from what was then parliament which was expanded and used to transform england into a war economy such as with williams blackbook. Its something that doesnt get told much, how England's foreign policy remained in the hands of local elites who put in place what would be the agricultural revolution along with intellectual capacity for moderating power through again, sorry the the modern simplicity, commercial links with the rest of the british isles,scandinavia, Germany, ottomans (far east) and to russia as was seen in elizabeths reign. And no relations aren't good at all. Whitehall ignores france whilst quai d'orsay plays with toy soldiers. Five eyes, aukus, transpacific partnerships, nuclear subs and ofc brexit. And ofc the English were very much on the back foot against the french.
@ommsterlitz1805 smokes pipe. Mmmyeess Hon Hon Hon Hon. We were getting very close to being silly there. And no not french. By this time and well before it's english, the minor royalty had to marry other persons not within the family. U know for, land and connections. Bureaucracy stuff, parliament and the rest. Anyways those cadet houses were staffed ran and backed by the new class of men in government or more precisely in the kings estate. Guys like the de la poles were merchant class up starts who lent money to the crown for titles and jobs in gov aswell eventually marriages into the costly royal cadet estates such as Lancaster. These gov or retinue posts meant free shit especially against the problems of population growth and the advancement of common-law along Locke lines.
@weeewoooooooo The Lancastre just like all of the english nobility all of Français origin were sent to school in France to study until they were adults, this is how links between the 2 kingdoms remained strong and how Français is the largest part of English language as even to this the motto of the UK is "HONI SOI QUI MAL Y PENSE"
@jasondashney did you watch the same video? It begins with a whole explanation on why the feudal political organisation had led to an irreconcilable tension between the two kingdoms that was just waiting for an excuse to start a war. Its borderline idiotic to attribute this to personal animosity between the monarchs
You can talk about a topic that no one has ever dealt with before, which is the Yemeni kingdoms and the history of their wars and invasions, which is Sheba, Hadhramaut, Maeen Qataban, and Osan. I hope you look at this history well. Thank you. I was truly pleased to watch the leaders and kings on your channel.
If you wanna feel real bad, try look up some of there torture devices and how they used them. Then you will understand real cruelty, I meen how can honey be cruel?? ^^
I always thought the 100 years war was like 3 short wars with long periods of Cold War in between. But by god, it was an insanely destructive 100 year struggle with only short truces
what a crazy experience that would be. Fight all day then just causally walk by your enemy because you both say "Nah we good for now, time for bed" 19:15
I love the long form content guys. Keep it up! I like listening to podcasts and documentaries while I paint and this format is perfect! And as always, the dedication and attention to detail is appreciated!
Legendary for using Eu4 Campaign music. This was the music that accompanied me through my first English play through ten years ago and never would I have imagined that it would also accompany a K&G video on the Hundred Years’ War
The 100 years war is a tale of the English winning battles but losing the war. Just like Hannibal in Italy. It is not about tactics and battles, but about the party that has more men, financial resources, and resolve to continue the fight.
Hannibal was the outsider. The Plantagenet/Lancaster had the upper hand twice and blow it up. If we talk about battles, each side had won around half of battles and the Plantagenet/Lancaster had lost many battles when they outnumbered the Valois They also had resolve to continue the fight with Henry 5 restart the war in 1415 despite a truce since 1389. Both side suffer with loss of financial resources with the chevauchees being a disaster for the Valois then for the Plantagenet/Lancaster.
The French won a bunch of battles too. They had to in order to win. I think the English doing better at the start had a lot to do with being allied with the Burgundians. The French doing better towards the end and ultimately winning had a lot to do with the Burgundians switching sides. Burgundy was a large kingdom in those days, reaching up all the way from Burgundy in current day France to a large slice of Germany and all the way into current Belgium and the Netherlands. It wasn't the myth, propagated by the typically skewed historical education found in the anglo-sphere, of the plucky English besting the French at Agincourt, Crecy and Poiters. I find it sadly amusing how few people in the anglo-sphere have even heard of Patay, for example, where the longbowmen were finally destroyed by the French.
@user-aero68 The dukes of Burgundy were the most powerful men in France after the king in the early 15th century. They owned both Burgundy (the duchy in France and the county in HRE), Flanders and Artois. Burgundy was not allied with England until 1419 but the civil war started in 1407 with the king being mad since 1392 prevent any unified reaction against Henry 5 invasion and Azincourt disaster was mostly because the nobles were at each other throats for the last 8 years. For the lack of knowledge about anything other Azincourt, Crecy or Poitiers, it seems Shakespeare made a great propaganda full of lies.
@user-aero68Even considering the Burgundian alliance England still won victories whilst being significantly outnumbered. Also France was fighting in home territory.
what a fucking saga. thank you so much for this 3 hours of unbelievable content. nothing like over complicated family drama to establish a feud between two nations that would last centuries.
Mate, this is brilliant. We only ever learn about Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt in the English speaking world, its a relief you show all the other battles...including the ones the French won ; ] It never made sense to me how England seemingly won all the battles but lost the war and there had to me more to it than just the ''Joan of Arc '' story , now I know ; ]
You guys are awesome, I really love these longer videos, perfect to play in the background while I play certain games. I know they probably take a lot of effort so, just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work
One of my favourite games is Bladestorm: Hundred Years War which is a japanese action-strategy game which basically plays the "Greatest Hits" of the Hundred Years War and no matter if you choose England or France you have to save Jeanne D'Arc from her IRL fate.
Couldn’t afford college even with partial scholarships , instead I work blue collar. Always wanted to teach history. These videos scratch that itch for me.. Thanks for the videos..
Excellent ! I realise how difficult our language is, for towns characters names . You covered this war as well as the sources allows and you do it with the neutrality of historian, and you saved the epic side . One more time excellent, captivating.
Merci ! As a Burgundian, thanks for this interesting video. It's awesome to be enthusiast for both french and english troops. I didn't know about the Burgundian looters in Azincourt. Keep up the good work, great fan of the chain.
I’ve always desired to visit beautiful Burgundy. Mary of Burgundy has always fascinated me, her love with Archduke Maximilian remains to me one of the most beautiful glimpses of the Middle Ages, certainly as the last perfumed breath of Mediaeval chivalry…
Great video, amazing to see the level of violence, barbarity and low value of human life from the time. Also, always fun to hear the myths surrounding Jeanne d'Arc.
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
Thank you guys for yet another incredible long documentary. You all have taught me so much. I had a bit of trouble following this one at first, but man, was it a gripping saga by the end. As someone else commented, you guys are a blessing. Thank you. God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
Can you make a broadcast on what happens on the battlefields after battles were over? what happened to the slain people? How were they buried? What happened to their gear? What happened to injured by no quite dead yet soldiers? etc. cc. I realize there might be a wide range of possibilities and concrete procedures. but are there any general conclusions that can be drawn?

Took a while but hey, the French ... won. Got to count for something, I guess.
At war for 116 years? Ha, more like 800 with some calm periods untill the triple entente!
@lordomacron3719 Can confirm, the english will seize every petty occasion to get a victory over us. But it would be hypocrite from my part to deny that we do the same
Im not sure you guys know how much of a blessing your channel is to the youtube, history enthusiast and in general every history lover.
16:15 "Sire, i bring good news! Your highness no longer has to pay for the upkeep of your fleet." Poor jester
Jesters were considered the only people allowed to make fun of or mock the king in medieval europe. Of course, some kings were exceptions.
@LordJimsworthhonestly, job of a lifetime. A very short lifetime most likely. 😂
It’s amazing how the French showed such restraint as to not name a single king Louis during the entire war.
😂
Because the louis are bourbon
@linkmastaer the Bourbon dynasty did not last that long as to name 18 kings Louis
As a CK fan, I love this comment 😂
@onkelkonkel : the French kings continually used three first names Louis, Philip and Charles. And yes at times with a succession of one of them ;)
Why these three ? Louis as reference to the founder of the first line, Clovis of the Merovingians, Charles for the Carolingians and Philip from the eastern Roman emperors (through queen Ann, born in Kiev and whose gran was a Byzantine empress).

I heard that Edward the 1st's law of every village being required to train longbowmen for the English army is still technically in effect, if not in practice.
I wonder what would constitute a village these days
@asiberiantiger188 all those American small towns. They aren’t really towns. They are villages due to size and population count.
@asiberiantiger188I think village still has a technical definition in the UK
@connerSphotography yes but town sounds cooler
I'm trained in longbow and crossbow.
It looked like a total victory for the French in 1373. It’s crazy that the video/war was only half done
I wish Louis XI got a full video on his genius statecraft after the Hundred Years’ War. He is criminally underrated.
Absolutely, Machiavelli admired him greatly
@thomascatty379 Louis XI's nickname in French was "l'universelle aragne"
the universal spider, like the spider he weaved the threads of his power with patience and constancy.
Well said. Robert Greene wrote about him prominently. The man was a top tier strategist. The Spider King 🕷️
@olivierpuyou3621 exactly, one of the very best monarch of France
@TheStrategos392 Paul Murray Kendal’s famous biography is brilliant as well. It presents him, rightly, as an intensely multifaceted and intellectual personality-similar to Frederick II Hohenstaufen-who seemed to have a universal capacity for understanding things and foresight.

@weeewoooooooo Lancaster ?? You mean "Maison de Lancastre" younger branch of the Plantagenêt dynasty, it's not game of throne lmao
@ommsterlitz1805 smokes pipe. Mmmyeess Hon Hon Hon Hon. We were getting very close to being silly there. And no not french.

EU IV, Civ 5 and I think... Civ 6 as well? Really great!
ck2 as well
Imagine all those peasant serfs they just threw into a meat grinder for 100 years! The nobles put so little value on life.
One king welcomes somebody the other king doesn't like so both countries go to war. It's completely insane.
The nobles literaly formed the core of the armies.

@barmybarmecide5390 It's the monarchs who literally give the order to go to war. Of course things bubbled up first. Most wars start under context.

Never ceases to astonish me how cruel humans can be to eachother.
It’s been like that since the first humans it will never stop
The 30 years war was much more brutal.
If you wanna feel real bad, try look up some of there torture devices and how they used them. Then you will understand real cruelty, I meen how can honey be cruel?? ^^
@damikey18 I like to believe it will one day. Not in my lifetime, though.
I always thought the 100 years war was like 3 short wars with long periods of Cold War in between. But by god, it was an insanely destructive 100 year struggle with only short truces
The hundred years war is actually a series of wars with short truces in between.
what a crazy experience that would be. Fight all day then just causally walk by your enemy because you both say "Nah we good for now, time for bed" 19:15
I love the long form content guys. Keep it up!
I like listening to podcasts and documentaries while I paint and this format is perfect! And as always, the dedication and attention to detail is appreciated!
lmao at the chivalry boxart on the thumbnail
Jeanne D’arc absolutely came in clutch
Love those epics. I usually watch them separately, but there is something in many-hours dedicated videos.
This channel continues to amaze me with comprehensive, documentary level content on a regular basis. I am truly impressed.
I really just have to appreciate the amount of information that is in this video such a huge conflict, with so many people and entities. great job
What a rollercoaster of a show! Good thing something like this wouldn’t happen in real life
Oh my - 3 hours long docu. I am all for it.
like the part where they were too tired to fight so they just walked passed each other hahahahha
Love when Scarborough Faire plays as background music, perfect vibes
Just finished reading a book on the 100 years war, it's great to get a visual, thanks.
Legendary for using Eu4 Campaign music. This was the music that accompanied me through my first English play through ten years ago and never would I have imagined that it would also accompany a K&G video on the Hundred Years’ War
The 100 years war is a tale of the English winning battles but losing the war. Just like Hannibal in Italy. It is not about tactics and battles, but about the party that has more men, financial resources, and resolve to continue the fight.
Hannibal was the outsider.
The Plantagenet/Lancaster had the upper hand twice and blow it up.
If we talk about battles, each side had won around half of battles and the Plantagenet/Lancaster had lost many battles when they outnumbered the Valois
They also had resolve to continue the fight with Henry 5 restart the war in 1415 despite a truce since 1389.
Both side suffer with loss of financial resources with the chevauchees being a disaster for the Valois then for the Plantagenet/Lancaster.
The French won a bunch of battles too. They had to in order to win. I think the English doing better at the start had a lot to do with being allied with the Burgundians. The French doing better towards the end and ultimately winning had a lot to do with the Burgundians switching sides. Burgundy was a large kingdom in those days, reaching up all the way from Burgundy in current day France to a large slice of Germany and all the way into current Belgium and the Netherlands. It wasn't the myth, propagated by the typically skewed historical education found in the anglo-sphere, of the plucky English besting the French at Agincourt, Crecy and Poiters. I find it sadly amusing how few people in the anglo-sphere have even heard of Patay, for example, where the longbowmen were finally destroyed by the French.
@user-aero68 The dukes of Burgundy were the most powerful men in France after the king in the early 15th century.
They owned both Burgundy (the duchy in France and the county in HRE), Flanders and Artois.
Burgundy was not allied with England until 1419 but the civil war started in 1407 with the king being mad since 1392 prevent any unified reaction against Henry 5 invasion and Azincourt disaster was mostly because the nobles were at each other throats for the last 8 years.
For the lack of knowledge about anything other Azincourt, Crecy or Poitiers, it seems Shakespeare made a great propaganda full of lies.
@robert-surcouf yes Dukes not kings, thanks for correcting
@user-aero68Even considering the Burgundian alliance England still won victories whilst being significantly outnumbered. Also France was fighting in home territory.
what a fucking saga. thank you so much for this 3 hours of unbelievable content. nothing like over complicated family drama to establish a feud between two nations that would last centuries.
Saw this on my feed this morning and insta-clicked. You are an absolute legend for these long format videos.
Absolutely perfect to binge and enjoy.
This is exceptional entertainment and education in one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How lucky are we to be able to have this level of information and entertainment all for free, thank you guys very much!
Definitely among the top 5 videos I’ve seen on the internet. Amazing work
Mate, this is brilliant. We only ever learn about Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt in the English speaking world, its a relief you show all the other battles...including the ones the French won ; ] It never made sense to me how England seemingly won all the battles but lost the war and there had to me more to it than just the ''Joan of Arc '' story , now I know ; ]
So many full videos this week!!!! Thank you for consolidating them. 🥰🥰🥰
We're so spoiled lately.
Love these long ones, thank you so much for the work you guys do. :)
These are the type of video where I don't mind creator running ads.
Another amazing series! Thanks KnG!
love the SW references. great video!
You guys are awesome, I really love these longer videos, perfect to play in the background while I play certain games. I know they probably take a lot of effort so, just wanted to say thank you and keep up the great work
This video was just impressive! Greetings from Uruguay
This is one of the best videos I have seen in my life.
Really enjoyed learning more about this history.
That Joan of arc was so intense and was lead to many other france victory even afterdeath of Joan
I would watch Kings and Generals over Netflix any day, any time and any where. I love you guys.
Perfide Albion
One of my favourite games is Bladestorm: Hundred Years War which is a japanese action-strategy game which basically plays the "Greatest Hits" of the Hundred Years War and no matter if you choose England or France you have to save Jeanne D'Arc from her IRL fate.
I loved that one!
Based.
Japan loves Jeanne d'Arc. From Fate to Bladestorm and a lot of other depictions in anime and Japanese games
Now I want a dynasty warriors 100 years war 😂
@WackyIraqi777Bladestorm is a Koei game, so it has a bit of a DW vibe to it, but more like their Kessen series.
his pronounciation of french town is sexy...
well there goes three hours of my life
Thank you Kings and Generals! This video was fantastic and we really appreciate your hard work to put it all together ☺️
I’m enjoying that Louis has been re-named “Louise” on the battle maps…like somebody’s mother was running around from battle to battle. 😊
Couldn’t afford college even with partial scholarships , instead I work blue collar. Always wanted to teach history. These videos scratch that itch for me.. Thanks for the videos..
Seriously the best channel putting out content like this such a gem
Love the attention to detail of the respective coats of arms.
Awesome work K&G!!! 👏👏👏
OH MY GOD LET'S GOOOOOO
Excellent ! I realise how difficult our language is, for towns characters names . You covered this war as well as the sources allows and you do it with the neutrality of historian, and you saved the epic side . One more time excellent, captivating.
I am so excited for this video
Merci ! As a Burgundian, thanks for this interesting video. It's awesome to be enthusiast for both french and english troops. I didn't know about the Burgundian looters in Azincourt. Keep up the good work, great fan of the chain.
I’ve always desired to visit beautiful Burgundy. Mary of Burgundy has always fascinated me, her love with Archduke Maximilian remains to me one of the most beautiful glimpses of the Middle Ages, certainly as the last perfumed breath of Mediaeval chivalry…
She was from a different burgundy. She was living in Belgium. The commenting guy is from southern France @hugejackedman7423
I'm fascinated with the maiden of Orléans right now
Such a cool video, thank you !
I fall asleep to these and then Wake up and hear this dude still rattling away at the details always has me confused in the middle of the night 😂
1 year later and I'm living that reality. 3 am wouldn't be the same 😂
Nothing better than a cart , a bed, and a multi hour history video
Great video, amazing to see the level of violence, barbarity and low value of human life from the time. Also, always fun to hear the myths surrounding Jeanne d'Arc.
19:22 this must have been a really awkward situation XD
I learned that I'm still a child at heart when the narrator said "war of the two Peter's" and choked on my coffee
I love it when K&G use Total War in their videos, wish they did this more.
Thank you for this epic tale of history! Over 3.5 hours of learning while I'm relaxing. Awesome job, keep up the great work!!!
Thanks
This video definitely sold me on becoming a proud member of this fine channel, way to go!!!
Another amazing video, greatly enjoyed. Thank you
What did we do to deserve this? ❤
Epic!
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
The demo was bonkers.
You could say, this is the Original Blue Team 🇨🇵🟦⚜️ vs Red Team 🏴🟥👑
This is incredible work
2:00:25 Louis de Guyenne never sent a box of balls to Henri V. It was an invention of the Shakespear's play.
Love these long documentaries ❤
Thank you guys for yet another incredible long documentary. You all have taught me so much. I had a bit of trouble following this one at first, but man, was it a gripping saga by the end. As someone else commented, you guys are a blessing. Thank you.
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
Thank you for these excellent videos
❤
Doctor: You have 3 hours and 34 minutes to live
Me:
This is awesome. Can you do a full thirty year's war.
At some point
@KingsandGenerals Can you also make videos on the Haitian revolution.
@jessie4696Not that impressive or complex at least in my opinion.
Thank u
Wait, this is not the history of Agatha vs the Mason Order? 😮
We eating REAL good tonight lads.
Anybody else watching this absolutely cooked🤣🤣🫡
Zooted out my mind and playing bannerlord 2 😭
I just put this on as background noise tbh
Yup
@kpf7539 I do this same thing. I also do it with other games lol. Match themes.
i saw this video so now my entire evening will be europa universalis 4
Awesome content sir
So basically, the Battle of Sluys was basically Agincourt but at sea. Huh. Those Longbows, gotta respect.
Amazing!! Thank you all so much!
Can you make a broadcast on what happens on the battlefields after battles were over? what happened to the slain people? How were they buried? What happened to their gear? What happened to injured by no quite dead yet soldiers? etc. cc. I realize there might be a wide range of possibilities and concrete procedures. but are there any general conclusions that can be drawn?
This content is amazing!
