best history channel on youtube. As someone that tries to do history content, I really admire the content you make and hope you get the recognition you deserve.
Truly wonderful by watching other videos I was only able to know about the immediate causes of the saint Bartholomew but now I can relate. By watching the detailed series one can understand why secular statesman like Richelieu were so focused on destroying protestants. Keep up the good work
Thanks for posting the newest installement, this has consistently been a great series from the beginning about a little covered topic. Next up - St.Bartholomew's Day Massacre.
Great video again. This video shows again that sieges in the Pike and Shot era were a real pain in the ass. Battles in the field could be won but were a lot of times totally meaningless because cities could hold on for months or even years. Especially in densely populated Western Europe
Sieges always sucked. Army lives as long as it moves. If army stops, they become restless, mutinous, they starve and worse of all: they get sick. Sieges literally force armies to stop.
I'm glad I've found this channel! I subbed when I saw all the awesome content on history topics rarely covered on RU-vid. I was looking for something other than another Alexander the Great series or the endless channels on World War 2 or other done-to-death topics. I haven't found any channels near this quality on the French Wars of Religion, the wars in Italy and others. I'm definitely letting my history nerd friends know about this channel (BTW, that was a compliment!)
Sandrhoman History is another great channel that focuses on this period but talk more about what was happening in Switzerland, Burgundy, the Netherlands, and the German states.
@@ZillyWhale I love Sandrhoman History! My ancestors were Dutch(I can actually trace my family's name to it's original in 16th century Netherlands) so watching those videos on Dutch history make me wonder what they were doing during those wars with Spain. I really like his production style as well. It stands out from the other similar channels that use maps to explain battles and history (side note: my favorite of those is Epic History's Napoleon series, the production value is just so good)
@@tshepangmasemola8947 That is true, after the Doom my family fled Valyria but we actually migrated to the Netherlands and not Dragonstone, ASOIAF is a lie!!!!
Awesome series. Extremly (and I mean it in every single sense of the word) underated channel. The quality is insane. By the way, could you maybe some day upload the background music you use for the videos, specially for the battle parts, I love them and would love to listen to them while playing Medieval 2 total War xD.
This video is pretty good and your impromisation is also appreciating this is perhaps the best video on French war of religion and best video I ever seen I liked your video so much keep it up you must be successful.
@@pikeshotBattles He is probably talking about the Netherlands. When you do your series on the Dutch revolt it would be crucial to show Dutch geography how it was at the time because it explaines it succes. Dutch geography changed a lot due to land reclamation and the map you use is more modern. It doesn't matter much for this french series however although it would make Dutch people very happy ;)
Basel is on the map where actually Bern is located. Also Bern is entirely missing, which is problematic because it was more important than geneva and basel at the time.
My man ! Fontainebleau is pronounced Fontaineblo, not bleu ! Same goes with Meaux, pronounced Mo. Please look up the pronounciation on Wikipedia. Thanks !
