The white cross on a red field was the actual colors of the French Soldiers for the early part of the Hundred'Years war, in fact ! While the other one was used until the end of it by the English.
@@rade6912 Belgian here. Didn't you guys even take lands that belonged to the Plantagenet? Gascony (Bordeaux included) belonged to the english kings prior to the Hundred Years' War. They ruled it as vassals of the french crown. Hell, the Plantagenet even owned over half of the lands in the Kingdom of France 150 years prior to the Hundred Years' War.... until Philip Augustus conquered most of it between 1202 and 1214, leaving them with only Gascony. In the Hundred Years' War, Charles VII then took that whole region from them while reconquering his own occupied territories and only left them with tiny Calais, which was later seized in 1558. No wonder they hated you so much. You guys can't be mad at the Brits for having either joined or bankrolled coalitions against you from 1453 onward or for having snapped New France in the Seven Years' War... Pretty balanced lol
@Nikola Tesla Yep. Flanders was a County of the Crown of France from the very begining (partitions of Charlemagne's Empire) until 1529 and the treaty of Cambrais, were François I was forced to relinquish any soverainty on the county ruled by the Habsburg of Spain after the inheritance of the Burgundian Estates since 1477 and of Charles the Bold through its daughter Marguerite.
Interestingly, Old French looks so familiar yet it looks so different. I am nkt a native French speaker yet when I hear it, I can still pick out certain words and understand without the lyrics. The difference between Old French and Modern French is so much less compared to Old English and Modern English for example.
Welcome to the comment section where the English and the French are still Fighting the ever living heck out of each other in the 21st century and a few Spanish dudes siding with the French
@D Anemon No, the line has been broken a couple of times...the Windsors are German in origin. The closest England came to a 'French' dynasty was the Plantagenets...who would not have described themselves as 'French', however were from regions that would become part of France eventually.
A better translation would be " may all their lineage be cursed " Mauldite : cursed En soit : may be by it (hard to translate) Tratoutz : throughout, entire La lignée : the lineage (here the entire English race).

movie is mostly accurate except from Henrys desire to attack France,which in reality he did wantto attack,in the movie it is shown like he is pushed into war,which is not true. But from the rest,it is entertaining,great score,great development of the main character and great visuals.
Interesting facts about this song, first is about the french word "couez" that literally means "to have a tail" The French use to believe that the English were devils and so they had a tail to fit the picture. The word would slowly makes his way to the english vocabulary and will later become the word "Coward" . Also, the "Roy Engloys" is Henry V of England. The song says that he died at Saint Fiacre-en-Brie but he really died at Vincennes. This historical mistake is probably because the song was written 100 years after the war. Godon is also an insult used by the French in the middle age, it's a word distortion of the Old English "God Dam" that was meant to insult the English invaders
Un officier anglais aurait dit à Robert Surcouf, officier français : "Vous, Français, vous vous battez pour de l'argent. Et nous, Anglais, nous nous battons pour l'honneur". Et Surcouf lui aurait répondu : "Chacun se bat pour ce qui lui manque !" Sacrés rosbifs ! On s'est battus pendant des siècles mais je crois qu'au fond on vous aime bien.
Et au XIXéme siècle, le vaisseau Anglais TRAFALGAR fait escale dans le port de Toulon (l'entente cordiale entre la France et L'Angleterre vient de commencer).

The Hundred Years’ War wasn’t really a struggle between England and France, but more between two french families over the french throne, the house of Capet (France) and the house of Plantagenet (England). It is also divided into three phases and actually took place over 116 years, by which point the Angevin empire had collapsed, leaving England with Calais and the Channel Islands as the last remnants of English rule in France.
You are right but after the Reign of the French king Charles V who beat the shit out of Edward 3 and the Black Prince, this Plantagenet became an illusion.
An oversimplification. By the early stages of the war English nationalism had started to emerge, and the kings of England were no longer French at all. This very melody is proof of that.
You have no idea how difficult it is for me to choose a side in European history because I’m half English, half French, and a Roman Catholic. This song is very divisive, to half of me.
@@Xezlec It’s hardly because of a song, but rather the conflicts in which this and songs like it arose, which were foundational to the history of both countries and set precedent for literal centuries of conflict whose impact is still around today!

Vraiment beau chanson. Merci beaucoup pour le téléchargement. J'aime trop les formes plus anciennes du français, même si je ne suis pas français moi-même. Salut de Grèce.
I think pronunciation is all over the lace though. Unless they change between Modern and Old pronunciation on purpose, but still the Old one doesn't sound right. I'm no expert though. Par example, le mot "France" est prononcé comme "Frantse" mais aussi come "Frans". Χαιρετίσματα απ' την πατρίδα.
Something that astonishes me still is just how close the 'roys engloys' came to being 'roys françois' as well. After the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V was de facto regent of France, had married the daughter of the king of France, and a treaty had been signed which recognized their son as the rightful heir. All Henry V had to do was live long enough to ensure his dream would come true and the succession happened smoothly. But of course he didn't. He died prematurely and the dream of the English kings to rule over France died with him. The whole thing collapsed.
Enemy of my enemy is my friend. Lot of irish people think like this. But france is worst against brittonic culture. With england u can negociate something.

Le Roy engloys est une chanson appartenant au Manuscrit de Bayeux, recueil de plus de cent chansons réunies au début du xvie siècle par Charles III de Bourbon et composées à la fin du xve siècle, c'est-à-dire quelques dizaines d'années après la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans. La chanson contient de nombreuses erreurs historiques dues au fait que sa composition a eu lieu près d'un demi-siècle après les événements qu'elle relate. Le roi anglais Henri V y meurt ainsi à Saint-Fiacre en Brie, alors qu'en réalité c'est à Vincennes. Le « Cappitaine Prégent » est Prégent de Coëtivy, l’un des vainqueurs, avec Jean de Clermont, de la « frottée » de Formigny, le 18 avril 1450 (3 500 morts côté anglais, 500 chez les Français). Le mot « couez » est une allusion au fait que les Anglais étaient alors considérés comme des diables, si bien que l’imagination populaire leur attribuait une queue. Ce mot est apparenté au mot « couard » en français et coward en anglais. Paroles: Le Roy engloys se faisoit appeler Le Roy de France par s’appellation. Il a voulu hors du païs mener Les bons François hors de leur nation. Or est-il mort à Sainct-Fiacre en Brye, Du pays de France ils sont tous déboutez. Il n’est plus mot de ces Engloys couez. Mauldite en soit trestoute la lignye ! Ils ont chargé l’artillerie sur mer, Force biscuit et chascun ung bidon, Et par la mer jusqu’en Bisquaye aller Pour couronner leur petit roy godon. Mais leur effort n’est rien que moquerie : Cappitaine Prégent lez a si bien frottez Qu’ils ont esté terre et mer enfondrez. Mauldite en soit trestoute la lignye !
Concernant Henri V, vous avez raison, il est bien mort à Vincennes, mais dans l'esprit de l'époque, il aurait signé son arrêt de mort à Saint Fiacre en Brie, dans les environs de Meaux, quelques temps avant en pillant et saccageant le monastère. Cela avait été considéré par les français comme un blasphème, une offense à Dieu. Ce qui peut en effet nous paraitre à première vue une erreur historique aujourd'hui ne l'était pas dans l'esprit du XVème siècle qui avait lié ces 2 évènements.

I am half Indian and a Roman Catholic. I approve this message and I wish we could go back to this real patriotic and Catholic France (except the slavery). As a francophone I also prefer this to modern French.
@Ronaldjump Yes. What people don't realize is that muslims had way more slaves and were on their way to invade africa in 18th and early 19th centuries, until europeans started invading.
@Ronaldjump yeah serfdom was VERY different than slavery. Also people was nearly always at war , lbgt was passible of death in many case , racism was big , you must be catholic or be discrimined or worst , you can't eat like you wanted , etc.. a very good time , indeed!
Slavery wasn't a thing at this time. It was illegal in France, but some mad "bourgeois" and noble pressured the crown to authorize the slavery, since the king cannot change law that easily "Every man that put a foot on the French Kingdom is a free man" since Saint Louis I think, but since the colonization, all the territory outside of Europe wasn't considered for this law somehow. But if a slave managed to put a feet on mainland France then he was free and could became French. Louis XVI tried to change that but as I said, to much pressure from the bourgeoisie and some nobles.. But somehow the bourgeoisie change that after the revolution, idk since the King wanted this change way earlier. As you can see, a French King is not that powerful in terms of political power at least compared to our actual "leader"

There are some minor mistakes in the lyrics and translation. For example... There is nothing about the English being buried on land and sea as "terre" wasn't even said during that part but appears in the lyrics for unknown reasons. The right translation for that part is "Captain Prégent gave them such a good thrashing that they ran all the way back to jump into the sea (running back to England basically)".

Note, some liberties have been taken with the lyrics in order to preserve the song's flow. So, without further ado, here you all go! ======================================== The English king Declared himself to be the King of France By his own decision. He wished to lead, Out from their homes and fields: The good Frenchmen, Forced from their motherland. But he was killed, At Saint-Fiacre-en-Brie... From the lands of France, They have all been repelled: There's no more word of these tailed Englishmen. May God condemn the whole of England's people! English ships charged, our artillery by sea, With plenty soldiers, and each one a canteen. And by the sea, They travelled to Biscay, To coronate Their little Godon king. But their effort Was just a mockery: Capitaine Prégent Gave them a good beating, So that they all Were in the seas entombed. May God condemn the whole of England's people!

But Germany for all of its "oh Europe is just the 4th reich haha" which truthfully has argument in favor of that and against it, is also a damn joke what with its immigration policy, its energy policy that still focuses on keeping the coal factory on eventhough their population itself HATES polluting and risks to the point where they got rid of Nuclear reactor (eventhough it pollutes far less lol).

Interesting facts about this song, first is about the french word "couez" that literally means "to have a tail" The French use to believe that the English were devils and so they had a tail to fit the picture. The word would slowly makes his way to the english vocabulary and will later become the word "Coward" . Also, the "Roy Engloys" is Henry V of England. The song says that he died at Saint Fiacre-en-Brie but he really died at Vincennes. This historical mistake is probably because the song was written 100 years after the war. Godon is also an insult used by the French in the middle age, it's a word distortion of the Old English "God Dam" that was meant to insult the English invaders
there is a slightly old french word: "couard" that has the same meaning as coward too

The Hundred Years’ War wasn’t really a struggle between England and France, but more between two french families over the french throne, the house of Capet (France) and the house of Plantagenet (England).
It is also divided into three phases and actually took place over 116 years, by which point the Angevin empire had collapsed, leaving England with Calais and the Channel Islands as the last remnants of English rule in France.
Exactly
You are right but after the Reign of the French king Charles V who beat the shit out of Edward 3 and the Black Prince, this Plantagenet became an illusion.
But also in this war they've firstly feel the nationalism
YES, bassically and kinda oversimplified the "Hundred Years War" was just (another) French civil war
An oversimplification. By the early stages of the war English nationalism had started to emerge, and the kings of England were no longer French at all. This very melody is proof of that.

After the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V was de facto regent of France, had married the daughter of the king of France, and a treaty had been signed which recognized their son as the rightful heir. All Henry V had to do was live long enough to ensure his dream would come true and the succession happened smoothly.
But of course he didn't. He died prematurely and the dream of the English kings to rule over France died with him. The whole thing collapsed.

Le Roy engloys est une chanson appartenant au Manuscrit de Bayeux, recueil de plus de cent chansons réunies au début du xvie siècle par Charles III de Bourbon et composées à la fin du xve siècle, c'est-à-dire quelques dizaines d'années après la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans. La chanson contient de nombreuses erreurs historiques dues au fait que sa composition a eu lieu près d'un demi-siècle après les événements qu'elle relate. Le roi anglais Henri V y meurt ainsi à Saint-Fiacre en Brie, alors qu'en réalité c'est à Vincennes.
Le « Cappitaine Prégent » est Prégent de Coëtivy, l’un des vainqueurs, avec Jean de Clermont, de la « frottée » de Formigny, le 18 avril 1450 (3 500 morts côté anglais, 500 chez les Français).
Le mot « couez » est une allusion au fait que les Anglais étaient alors considérés comme des diables, si bien que l’imagination populaire leur attribuait une queue. Ce mot est apparenté au mot « couard » en français et coward en anglais.
Paroles:
Le Roy engloys se faisoit appeler
Le Roy de France par s’appellation.
Il a voulu hors du païs mener
Les bons François hors de leur nation.
Or est-il mort à Sainct-Fiacre en Brye,
Du pays de France ils sont tous déboutez.
Il n’est plus mot de ces Engloys couez.
Mauldite en soit trestoute la lignye !
Ils ont chargé l’artillerie sur mer,
Force biscuit et chascun ung bidon,
Et par la mer jusqu’en Bisquaye aller
Pour couronner leur petit roy godon.
Mais leur effort n’est rien que moquerie :
Cappitaine Prégent lez a si bien frottez
Qu’ils ont esté terre et mer enfondrez.
Mauldite en soit trestoute la lignye !
Concernant Henri V, vous avez raison, il est bien mort à Vincennes, mais dans l'esprit de l'époque, il aurait signé son arrêt de mort à Saint Fiacre en Brie, dans les environs de Meaux, quelques temps avant en pillant et saccageant le monastère. Cela avait été considéré par les français comme un blasphème, une offense à Dieu. Ce qui peut en effet nous paraitre à première vue une erreur historique aujourd'hui ne l'était pas dans l'esprit du XVème siècle qui avait lié ces 2 évènements.

@Ronaldjump You could say that but not a lot of people will believe you . Troll is on the rise here i guess .
Slavery wasn't a thing at this time. It was illegal in France, but some mad "bourgeois" and noble pressured the crown to authorize the slavery, since the king cannot change law that easily "Every man that put a foot on the French Kingdom is a free man" since Saint Louis I think, but since the colonization, all the territory outside of Europe wasn't considered for this law somehow. But if a slave managed to put a feet on mainland France then he was free and could became French.
Louis XVI tried to change that but as I said, to much pressure from the bourgeoisie and some nobles.. But somehow the bourgeoisie change that after the revolution, idk since the King wanted this change way earlier. As you can see, a French King is not that powerful in terms of political power at least compared to our actual "leader"

With plenty soldiers,
and each one a canteen.
And by the sea,

Gave them a good beating,
So that they all
Were in the seas entombed.

The French chose the 2nd choice and became a dominant European power for litteraly its entire 1200+ years of History with only 1 SINGLE time where they became nothing in 1940-1945, since even after 1871 the French were still a Great power (cripple ofc but not done yet)
Remind me again. Why do the English act like they won the HYW?
@Basil II
simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred_Years%27_War
"The war ended in 1453 with a crushing victory of the French over the English at the battle of Castillon."
@Basil II how ?
@Basil II If losing all your continental possessions except the Pale of Calais to France and having ur dynasty weaken to the point of being destroyed in a massive civil war is winning what the hell is losing?
Basil II Remind me of how much land the British own in France.
@@baronofbahlingen9662 So by that logic France won the Napoleonic Wars ? "Look at how much of Europe the French conquered !"
Medieval France was the jewel of Europe! Love from Poland!
Now it's the joke of Europe and I will leave it soon

@@geewilly9822 the problem is that litteraly everyone else in europe is a damn joke now, and frankly its normal, since this is the 1st era in history where we can say for sure that Europe is in decline (the medieval age did get rid of a few older stuff but it didnt mean Europe lost in importance, the Mediteranean coast was the only real important part before it then extanded to the rest of the continent over time), you also have to realise that yes France is filled with stupid politicians politics, policies economy thats somehow ALWAYS in crisis and ALWAYS lacking with an increasing differance between the lower middle class and higher middle class in terms of how much money they can afford to spend, and still a large differance between the poorer class and the low middle one because the aid is stuck at a ceiling that makes it so that low middle class is just above the aid and other stuff similar.
But Germany for all of its "oh Europe is just the 4th reich haha" which truthfully has argument in favor of that and against it, is also a damn joke what with its immigration policy, its energy policy that still focuses on keeping the coal factory on eventhough their population itself HATES polluting and risks to the point where they got rid of Nuclear reactor (eventhough it pollutes far less lol).
Or maybe you want Italy corrupted to the core, unable to even get rid of the root of the problem because ofc politics heading the country doesnt want that.
Spain and Portugal both countries have a decent amount of problem that litteraly cripples their growth.
UK, their pride led to brexit, their economy which is heavily turned around trading with others in turn got hit very hard wow that was unexpected really.
Ireland, huh well they STILL have yet to recover from its famine from the 1800's century, true enough it was not exactly their fault, but its definitly not a problem a country thats not a joke would have.
The Scandinavians, they have their own brand of trouble where they went so far into progressive stuff it created some very inconvénient problems to say the least lol (tbf i havent checked in a while but last time i did it was very funny in a sarcastic way)
The Benelux, well Belgium is having some problems as always but yknow if you are french i doubt youd move into the joke thats our neighbor.
Luxemburg and other "rich countries thats for the rich" well are self explanatory, central and Eastern Europe are jokes in their own ways.
What you wanna move to like Greenland, Iceland?(well actually they got their own problems),’the Faroe island, Canada? (Lets be real Canada is that one country with the same problem as the rest but their superbe reputation and conveniant laws makes it look like an ideal place to move in)

The lyrics are very violent but this is a beautiful song.
Compared to the french anthem this is a child song
I may be English, but i am proud of this eternal rivalry between my people and the French, to a degree of harsh comradery. We have our differences, and willing to fight and push for them, but always band together whenever someone bigger comes to kick down our doors. We may not see eye to eye, but we have each others backs when need be, and its rather beautiful
Nice idealised view but it's sadly not the case
@Anglo Zone
Wow! Talking about the past and the future at the end in a respectful way! I wonder if you got mad at the song when the lyrics showed up. Since it called the English... you know. Heck I am not English and yet I feel mad about it. 😂

@@ommsterlitz1805 In modern warfare France have no advantage over the UK. Our militaries are equally as good. The French government and army is made up of cowards and their leadership would not give France the victory. Like I said we would paint the English Channel red with French blood. The French haven't seen military success since WW1 so I don't think they'll stand a chance against her majesty's army, navy, and airforce.

"May thy lineage be cursed" - a very medieval way of telling someone you don't like them.
In the modern world, people are "cursing their own lineage" willingly out of belief it is necessary to stop the world dying.
French sounded more like latin back then.
It's called Old French ! and you didn't see Old French in crusades times !
@@mrronron7328 actually this song is in middle french (XV-XVIth century), any modern frenchman could litteraly be sent in the XVth century and understand it.
the french spoken during the crusade was indeed the real old french and you'll have a hard time trying to understand it.
as for this song, the only differences beside vocabulary and orthography (tratoutz, Godon, couez...) is the pronunciation of the R (rolled) wich changed recently, until the 1920's it was really common to roll the "R".
That's not Old French and these lyrics are very close to modern French, not close to Latin at all. There are just some words that aren't used anymore.
Faux archi faux
@IFFs 35th It was a way to say that the statement of this guy (that these lyrics are closer to Latin than to modern French, that these lyrics sound like Latin) is false (because this is middle French, basically like modern French, except a few words). If you studied Latin, then you know that Latin definitely doesn't sound like French. We are speaking about phonetics and pronunciation here.
Calm down edgy teenager.
how parisians imagine the countryside:
Old French sounds so much better than modern French, but this might be because I’ve only heard it being sung.
Yes indeed in a conversation its sounds like farmers not that great trust me im french myself
No no, it’s just different.

What a delightful song for my ears, all hail France, i'm born Francois and proud of it !
I'm English but I'm proud to have had the French as one of our most absolute worthy adversaries in history.
And also, it turns out that particularly in southern and eastern England, we have A LOT of "French" DNA from French immigrants who came to England to live here in the Middle-Ages :)
This is just me, but I respect the French a lot. And Middle French is really beautiful
Edit: supposedly English people have 23% of their DNA from the French who came to England as immigrants during the Middle Ages
I'm French half bretonne so I probably have British dna xD
I find it cool that now it's only became a friendly rivalry with unfunny joke on the internet xD
@volt-staralice7226 I think it's funny. I like making jokes about French people. But, I don't really mean it of course. I know many French people hate us English but I feel sad about it really and I think it's very disrespectful when people call French soldiers "cowards", it's simply untrue. And I think English people should focus their hatred on Welsh people instead
Not 23%, no. But maybe a little. There were many Huguenot refugees in England
@kaikwa4160 I'm talking about migrations from France during the Middle Ages. There are studies on this and genetic science has come a long way over the last few years. In the south and east of England there is more "French" DNA from these medieval migrants than Iron Age British DNA. Of course, there is also a lot of original English "Anglo-Saxon" DNA. As you know, in certain ways, England became more French after the Norman Conquest, so it makes sense. I didn't just pick that number out of my ass :P
