The Swiss National Museum had a special Exposition about Marignano back in 2015. They offered all kinds of approaches to the battle, including real pikes just hanging in the room, just to give you a 3D image about how pikes en masse look like. Also they displayed original lists of all the missing men, back at home. Also, being "Swiss" was a label for all kind of mercenaries from other countries who could join their ranks.

@Ezekiel903 2 года назад

the battles in northern Italy started the first talks in Switzerland about a future neutral position of Switzerland, which was introduced later and is known for it to this day. In Marignano, Swiss mercenaries were involved on both sides. Italy's regions also began to compete with each other, the first banks were established in the Venice area, Italian names are still used in banking today, and the first autopsies were carried out in Bologna. Genoa became known for its famous explorers like Columbus, Florence for their art and navigators like Amerigo Vespucci, after whom America was named. This variety of small states started a renaissance throughout Europe. As Swiss i love Italian history, in Marignano there is still a memorial stone in memory of the Swiss!! Well made video as always, i know how difficult it is to present history in only 20min. nevertheless it is very accurate!

@sherlocksmuuug6692 2 года назад

Vous voulez des mercenaires. A Pavie les Suisses étaient mercenaires. A Ivry ils l'étaient. A Novare et à Marignan non.

Switzerland is neutral because of Zwingli, Luther and the reformation. After Zwingli died in battle(at least he died in he war he started), and the inner Swiss Kantons being Kath. and the big cities being Ref; the swiss confederacy simply didn't join any wars because they couldn't agree on which side to enter. Then it was tradition and the swiss don't like change.

Imagine loosing so hard, that you decide to stay neutral for forever. Kind of interesting, that Switzerland's most important battle is the one, that we lost. (Though it can be debated, that Morgarten might be just as important, if not more.) Well, we wouldn't be what we are today, without that defeat, so while it is kind of sad, I'm also not complaining, that it happened. At least we got to be the badasses of Europe for two centuries.

@sherlocksmuuug6692 2 года назад

@@Tommi414 Morgarten did very much happen. It may not have been this grand, epic battle that nationalistic myth-making likes to present it was, but it did happen. What we know for a fact is that a force from the original three cantons did ambush a small punitive expedition of like (at most) 1500-2000 dudes and forced them to retreat. Duke Leopold I may or may not have been present. That's basically it. Records from that time support this, especially family chronicles for local noble families, unless multiple nobles from the area all decided to go camping at Morgarten and all had spontanious heart-attacks there. The part that most people who mythologize Morgarten like to leave out is that the punitive expedition under the Habsburg Duke was primarily also Swiss, mostly levies from Zug and mercenaries from Zürich. The Habsburgs were swiss aristocracy originally, after all. I do find it weird that Morgarten is the battle that became our origin myth, when Sempach a few decades later was way more important. No argument on the current xenophobia though. Yeah, shit can get bad around here, it's worst in inner Switzerland. The SVP is a fucking blight on the rural population, it's completely melted their brains.

@neutronalchemist3241 2 года назад

Altough it convinced the Confederation to not wage war again (the Swiss lost from almost a third to almost half of their men. That's what's usually called a massacre), Marignano had been an honourable defeat. Not by chance Trivulzio, veteran of 20 years of European wars, nicknamed it "the battle of the giants", because all the others he fought had been child plays in comparison, and the Swiss were still held in high regard, as mercenaries, after it. One could say it even went to their head. Then came the Bicocca...

@LanceKNIGHT1112 2 года назад

My gendarmerie is the arm which carries my sceptre; I never expose it to danger, without myself sharing myself its fatigue and glory. - François I, to his arch-rival Karl V's ambassador, when Karl demanded the elite heavy lancers to assist his army to enable the Imperials to repulse the Turks. According to François' letter written to his mother after the battle, his gendarmes charged the Swiss 30 times, which halted their advance, and eventually saved the day. This victory was considered a great feat to François' contemporaries, matching those of Hannibal's or Caesar's at least, since he had crossed the Alps and shocked his enemies, like the Carthaginian did to Romans about 1700 years prior, and crushed impregnable Swiss pikewall by charging his gendarmes with artillery support, like Caesar crushed their Helvetic ancestors with Roman army. Leonardo da Vinci regarded his last patron, François, the very king who won the battle, as a new Alexander, and considered himself as his Aristotle.

Congratulations for the great work as always. I just have one question, about the italian cities under austrian/imperial occupation, like Verona, Vicenza, Conergliano and Belluno. Were they under just military occupation and political influence or were somewhat part of the Holy Roman Empire and/or the Habsburg Duchy of Austria? Sometimes I get confused on such technicalities. I wonder if they were vassals to this kingdoms by paying fees and contributing militarily or was it a more indirect control?

Cannons were slow firing (being loaded with loose gunpowder from the muzzle, a too rapid firing meant a bad end for the loader), so the Swiss many times overrun artillery simply by charging directly at it and accepting some loss. Obviously that proved to be increasingly costly, as the number of the artillery pieces and technique improved, but it had been only the general adoption of musquets that stopped the "Swiss tactic" to deal with cannons. Meanwhile, the favoured tactic became to try use light cavalry to bypass the first line and charge artillery from the side. The light cavalry of Paolo Luzasco overrunning the French artillery at the battle of Sesia in 1524, while the French heavy cavalry was massacrated by the Spanish musquets practically ended the era of heavy cavalry in western Europe, while securing a place for ligth cavalry on the battlefield until the end of 19th century.

12:43 Rabble is surely too flattering of a word to describe Italian commoners of the time, is it not?

I only know where Novara is because the goddamned Milanese keep placing Lvl 8 forts next to that province.

Great video, as usual! :) Just two mispelled names: 1) the Italian city on the north of Treviso is called "Conegliano" and not "ConeRgliano", it was also misspelled in the previous video of the series; 2) at 11:16 it is the treaty of "Gallarate" not of "Gallarte" Hope you can fix them! :)
