  • The Battle of Crécy took place on 26 August 1346 in northern France between a French army commanded by King Philip VI and an English army led by King Edward III. The French attacked the English while they were traversing northern France during the Hundred Years' War, resulting in an English victory and heavy loss of life among the French.

  • @remlenomis
    @remlenomis 2 года назад +274

    Unfortunately, like all these animated recreations, you've missed the most important part of the battlefield, which determined the disposition and movements of both armies. From the Route de Fontaine in the south almost to Wadicourt in the north, the Vallee des Clercs is lined to the west with a 45-degree overgrown bank ranging from 2 to 6 metres deep, over which an armoured man-at-arms would have trouble passing, and a mounted knight had no chance at all. It's a geological feature that was there in 1346, and if you look for it, you can still follow its line on Google maps after nearly 7 centuries of ploughing the surrounding fields. I doubt the French knew of its existence until their scouts stumbled across it, but one would imagine Edward did when he chose to defend the ridge to the west. It's presence meant the French army had to march in close formation up the Fontaine road under the arrows of the English and Welsh archers on the ridge, and then deploy across the Black Prince's battle-front, all the while being shot at distances of around 200 yards before they even began to advance. It's for this reason that the Prince's Battle bore the brunt of the fighting. The huge disproportion in dead between the two armies suggests very few of the French charges even closed with the ranks of English men-at-arms and archers, or the Welsh archers and spearmen. But however many actually did, they didn't come in long lines stretching across the valley north to south between Wadicourt and Crecy. Edward's choice of battlefield, like Wellington's 470 years later, was one of the key determinants in deciding the outcome of the battle.

    I've heard other sources which say the crossbowmen didn't leave their shields behind due to overconfidence, the luggage cart carrying the shields was further back in the convoy and hadn't made it to the battlefield in time

    • @loowick4074
      @loowick4074 2 года назад +13

      Overconfidence is probably unlikely and an embellishment.
      It's like saying the knights left their Armor because they were overconfident.

    • @andrewholdaway813
      @andrewholdaway813 2 года назад +6

      That's the truth, and also much of their ammunition.
      They were far from over-confident and (wisely) made barely a token effort at engaging the archers without the cover of their pavise.

      That would be amazing , Waterloo maybe could be possible but the numbers were huge at around 210'000 men on the battlefield so that could be a challenge. Also some of the Napoleonic battles were spread across massive areas ,Vitoria for instance was spread across 20 miles so they may be very tricky if its even possible. Personally I think these style animations at this scale are perfect for Rome battles , Viking battles and Byzantine battles , the crusades would be great too , basically the whole classical and medieval period , oh and pike and shot period would fit perfectly also!

      At most around 500 if you look at the rolls of arms, and they were spread about the army, not in company's.

    Hey I like your content and presentation.
    Solid work 👍
    In case you haven't played any of the Total War PC games, you can set up great animations with them.
    Or even Mount & Blade Bannerlord.

    One does NOT trade shots with a longbowman if one is a crossbow man. It would be a very fatal error, every damn time. You would think the French would at SOME point in history, have learned that lesson.
