5 років тому📜 History of England: Fire and Swords - On the 26th of August,1346, Philip's army drew near the English force. The French were strung out for miles. Phillip's best commanders advised caution: put on those comfy jim-jams the Queen gave you last Christmas, don the royal slippers, get a goodnight's snooze, and let everyone catch up, then drown the English in a river of their own blood after a light breakfast. But Phillip looked upon the current puny size of the English army, and ordered the attack anyway...

King John of Bohemia was once challenged to a duel by king Casimir of Poland to a duel for the right to the Polish crown (which was contested at the time). Casimir knew that John is very chivalrous and wouldn't refuse an honorable duel, despite being blind. And he didn't. He just set one small rule. To make the duel fair, Casimir had to gouge out his own eyes. Casimir backed down.

7:20 In defense of the crossbowmen, from what I understand they were supposed to have had pavise shields in order to protect themselves. But because the attack was ordered so hastily, they were forced to leave their shields behind and were thus left without one of their greatest forms of protection against the longbow. Edit: misspelled pavise as passive.

Were the Genoese Crossbowmen at Crecy aware of their impending doom? Why, Yes!

Hey guys! I actually had the privilege of doing my MA dissertation on this period, and I think you did a great job of boiling it down to an easily digestable quick video. The bit about Edward III's 'teaching self reliance' is very amusing, especially in the context of 'eh, I've got other sons'. One slight quibble I have is that Philip VI really wasn't in control of the French army at Crecy. In large part, the large French force arrived piecemeal and pretty much went straight into it.

The battle of Crecy was actually even more of a French F§€£* up. They basically assumed they would win to the point of forcing their crossbow men went into the field without an essential piece of their equipment. A large shield which they would hide behind.This was after they were forced to stand in the rain, with their crossbows. Funny thing about the drawstring of a crossbow is that its quite complex to take off a crossbow. You know what the English archers did? Have their drawstrings under their helmets. Basically the longbowmen were able to massacre the French army almost at their leisure. The casualty count was tens of thousands of French knights and men at arms dead and wounded versus maybe a few hundred dead English troops. The battle basically made cavalry defunct on the battlefield for a few hundred years.

The crossbowmen of the French army were actually Genoese crossbowmen, the best armed and trained crossbowmen on the continent. They would usually fight behind big Pavese shields, but due to a logistic disaster made by the French generals, not only they deployed the crossbowmen without their shields in a disadvantegeous position, but the rain also soaked the strings of their weapons, thus rendering them completely useless.

I keep seeing the dates tick closer and closer to 1347 and getting increasingly nervous...

Spoilers: the armies employed at the start of the 100 years war were much bigger than the ones used towards the end. There is a significant drop in troop numbers around 1347-50 for some reason.

@@Oxtocoatl13 I mean when all the largest armies get absolutely decimated at the start of the war and your governments don't want to pay for something that large you kinda have to downsize.

Are you going to do the whole 100 years war or just the English victories at the beginnning? My feeling was that these are pretty well covered in comparison to the end of the war leading into the war of the roses.

“Edward would teach the French that the most powerful weapon on the battlefield was a lightly armoured, low-born peasant.” Well that backfired
@AlbarionRed007 5 років тому
Edward III's infantry tactics were by no means revolutionary. The Flemish were using similar tactics against French cavalry as early as 1302 (Battle of the Golden Spurs), after which the French quickly adapted (see Mons-en-Pevele in 1305).

I find the lack of Monty Python and the Holy Grail French jokes...... Disturbing.
@longlethanh7780 5 років тому
Barry Bend depends on where the series will be concluded, eventually we will get a humiliating defeat of England at the hand of France. although a “bravely ran away” joke would work for both Eddy3 and Harry5
