The Battle of Saule 1236 AD 

So hyped for this!

Baz battles please make a video on the battle of khatoli and dholpur it will be interesting to cover.

The link works! However, since I only use a phone and have no computer I'll redirect my focus to Curiosity stream. But I will say this: The easiest way to get money from me is if it costs 5 bucks (no more) and it's a download from google play. I can then simply click on it an type a password. If sth costs 3 bucks I might even click on it just for fun. But 14.99? Well ya know ten lunches in a row. For a poor man. From Lidl. Anyway great upload thx!

Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.

Traduction in French please 😭

@@RLuke103 I now working of a Drawing of a Schwertbruber i think i will it son load up in Deviantart !

Nice bro

You mean December, right?

​@@Peetfighter Good catch. Fixed.

HA! Brilliant!

Gold 💰

that's why noobs should just shut up lmao

500 years later discipline 150%

Wasn't the dismount only for crossing the river? Not for fighting. Thouse fresh noble newcomers from Europe always been a problem in many battles not obeying in *holly lands* too.

Master Volkwin yell "Damn Noobs" then continue with rage quit...

Only problem is, in real life you can't tell level by reading people's faces. Every noob in real life be thinking he is a lvl 100 master.

Do you know what happened?

@@Oblivisci........ no

I don't either

They maybe in memory if corona lost souls

He's back

This is true. But let's say they did dismount, cross the river into the wooded area. They would have been attacked before they got to the clearning, and they still would have been attacked from the rear. I don't know about this battle other than what's presented in the video, but it looks like the ambush still would have happened - just on the other side of the river.

We don't know if the ambush was already prepared or was just still being planned. But we do know that they might had a chance if they were able to cross before nightfall. Waiting until the next day gave the Pagans much needed time for the rear flank to execute.

@@Dayvit78 The other side of the river wasn't wooded, it was a clearing. So, non-marshy, non-wooded ground. The type of ground that medieval knights are the best on. So even if they did get attacked on that side, they would've still faired better than being attacked where they were. And also, the river being where it was would've made it more difficult to get the surrounding manouver in place that they did get in plce now in time like they did here.

Glad they did, they had no right to invade.

Sounds more like the normaly cautious commander didnt want to admit he made a mistake so he threw the mostly slain rookies under the bus and blamed them.

Deus mecem est, et Dues vult!

@@PillowWillow007 Looking at the results, I conclude "Deus non vult".

More of a winter destination, thusly you can take your horse out for a ride.

@@PillowWillow007 We do not threaten crisendom your threat lies to the south.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 I happen to be Estonian

yep, same for both brother nations ;)

I had a friend named Saule. She was from Kazakhstan

In French we have a tree that is named "Saule" it is called "Willow" in English.

@@Ptitnain2 indoeuropean languages have connection and many similarities. In France I noticed that "lents" (slow) in your language is "lēns" in our language. Must be many other similarities that I have not noticed yet.

Ačiū.

I miss this channel, why, what's wrong with Baz?

Romans: That's how it feels!

Crusade over man! Crusade over!

vietnam copies pagan lithuanian tribe tactics confirmed :oooooo

Scheiße, sie sind in den Bäumen, sie sind in den gottverdammten Bäumen!

In this case, it was sitting around on their hands that did them in.

It's always amazing how Julius was able to smirk quietly when most people can't help but clap their lips loudly. ;/

And says the bad word

Lol some good tactics. Besides the tribes were fighting for freedom and their land, not to vain allegiance. Far as i recall crusades failed to force religion onto baltic regions by taking away choice. The dukes at the time chose to adopt it just to stop the fighting. So thats 200iq move as well. The people would have fought to the last person but that is pointless waste of life and culture.

Chieftain? Battle leader from Lithuanian side was Duke Vykintas.

Have studied history till bachelor degree and never heard of the Sword Brethren, less the batte of the Sun (thank you guys who translated). Everything east of Germany and previous to imperial Russia hardly ever reached France schools and universities. Wonder why lol. In the meatime, many thanks to @BB. These --pagans-- Lithuanian people knew how to coordinate between different tribes, man!

In Denmark, some of it is basic high school history. Not in the least because they contain the myth of Valdemar receiving the danish flag from heaven and is the oldest national flag still in use. The truth is probably slightly less pompous.

I actually first learned about them from Medieval 2 Total War. That and my brother had a DJ book called "Battle" when we were kids that mentioned it.

@@TukozAki This is very strange, because in Russia even engineers know book by the French historian E. Lavisse "Essays on the History of Prussia" 1915. :)

@@sudfac Yes Ernest Lavisse is known by name in the universities where I've been taught history. And there are old books from him in the libraries, but he was already well "passé de mode" (ie "has been") in the 1990s when I studied history. Students who specialize in Slavic or Gernam studies may well know him better. I have never been advised a book from him by my teachers and I didn't opened one myself. Prussia itself was seen super lightly and only through its interactions with French history.

Seriously what happened? This was my favorite visual military history channel on RU-vid.

I feel like Rose when Jack sinks to the depths of the Atlantic. Come back!

He's patreon is still open yet no videos?

@@medievalist8441 BAZ will be back or else i am going to find him because this is not on, it like not getting your mug coffee in the morning.

@@Oblivisci........ he died from covid

No advertising

i think they gave up, no post on social media either. It was fun while it lasted

@@UTubeExo sadly :(

Of course. A people must know their hystory.

I would say this video covered more than they teach in school

@@Brugar18 Less than my teacher tought me. But my teacher was a good one and tough with historic things he had in his own possesion rather than the school book.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 I envy you, what we learned is basically the date and outcome of the battle and that's it.

is one party considered the "good guys"?

the day? hit those like and subscribe buttons like you do the replay button.

Interesting thank you for sharing. Fun fact he did not mention is that the most serious effort to conver us balti to chrytinity before the crusades where the russian missionarys. They are where we get out word for church baznīca coming form božica

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 well, these volunteers were hardly about carrying light of Christianity.) Baltic tribes started to raid border Russian principalities in XII so Pskovians wanted to repay in kind. And plunder too, ofcourse.

You are celebrating on the wrong day by a few months.

@@PROVOCATEURSK Christmas was five days ago...

Haha

Too bad it’s been 5 months now

@@garrettgallagher8551 Don’t remind me. 😭

Last time I was this early it was a tribal federation.

imagine seing non threatfull pagan lithuanian tribes unite before you and form one of the strongest nations in eastern europe for the next 500 years

did you mean grand duchy right?

Yup, hope he comes back soon.

You should check out HistoryMarche as well, very similar to Baz and Kings

Check Historia Civilis too, its a nice channel about history with the same style

Epic history tv is pretty good too. Good maps and quality documentaries especially on the Napoleonic wars

How is he going to hire a team the ad revenue is already pretty low so i guess this channel is dead because they don’t do any money anymore

He have a new video

Actually its somewhat 20km away from the city. Some say name of the city Šiauliai comes from Šauliai, meaning shooters as there were some sort of deffence place. Wich would make sense. There are few "hills" in the city, (on one now there is a church, that is visible from any direction coming 15~ km away.)

In truth, we have no actual idea where the battle took place @@kerstas10

@@user-ex9yc7yn1x I know. We just guess irs somewhere in northern Lithuania. 😂

And do not forget battle of skuodas 1259

If you love history you can watch videos at channel "Kings and Generals"

Praise the Sun!

@@danboud8135 Yes exactly. We are victorios thus prase the Sun.

Achilles?

Spectacularly? They where ticksters, oath brakers, backstabers and lyars form their very first conquest till their last.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 How so, they were probably much more purer then you in all ways.

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Their rise to power was spectacular even if their methods weren't always.

@@magnusheister8466 Pure tricksters, oathbreakers, backstabbers and liars, maybe.

@@magnusheister8466 Hahahaha. Shall tell you the story of how Rīga was founded. Pa Daugavas muti ieradās Alberts ar saviem tirgotājiem un bruņiniekiem. Viņš prasīja lībiešiem zemi pārdot lai tas pili celtu, bet tie savu tēvu zemi par nekādām naudām atteicās pārdot. Albers padoties nebij ar mieru, domāja tas līdz ļaunas domas tam galvā ienāca. Ielūdza lībiešu vecos uz dzīrēm tas un prasīja lai ieročus iekšā tie nenes lai atstāj ārā tos. Kad gana dzēruši tie bija bruņinieki tos mājā ieslēdza un ieročus prom aiznesa. Rītā bruņinieki sanāca pulkā lībiešu vecos sagūstīt, visus uz Vāciju tos aizveda lai tie nevar atgriezties no gūsta. Lībieši negribēdami savu tēvu nāves nevarēja karaspēkus pulcēt, lai apturētu vāciešus kad tie pie Rīdziņas pili cēla. Ar laiku pilsēta apkārt tai izauga un līdz mūsdienām par Rīgu to sauc. Damn it I wrote to you in the wrong langauge. Just coppy it here translate.yandex.com/ I dont want to translate that nice passage and google failed even more spectacularly I checked bough translations you will understand the idea if you use this one. And know that they continued their conquest in the same mannor. Using the locals unfamiliarity with the consept of lying and oathbracking Do you also think the romans where better than the goths? The people literally named good as god.

I was just scrolling and was like: why the hell didnt I see a BAZ video in like forever, and then I realized that they didnt publish any. I really hope they are well and will return :(

What ?

@@ahmedibrahim9082 This is the last vid he's made for 6 months

i got a feeling he ran out of money due to slow output and relying on revenue. If you compare this to a similar channel King and Generals they put out around 3 videos as week...too bad.

Well gosh, thank you for the kind words!

@@altinmares8363 oh i do! i consumes all the histories i can

A ps5?

What is that ė? What how is it difereant form e?

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 lithuanian letter

@@gediminaspocius7512 But what sound that is make?

@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 it's a long e, if you know german (or the drink) it's pronounced like ä in Jäger(meister). I can't think of an example in english.

@@flamingas Ā so its what we latvieši write as ē like in ēst and bēgt. The english used to have a longe where they write ee but nowadays it has become a long i and the really should get arround to writing it as ii.

Know few of them, splendid guys :)

Little fun fact i forgot to mention The battle of Saule actualy means the battle of the sun. Those people back then worshiped nature and we still have traditional holidays called "Jāņi" where we celebrate summer solstice. That's the longest day of the year when it actually gets dark for only about 5-6h at night.

@@eduardszarins9218 Kādēļ toreiz? Mana ģimene ir ļoti lepna par to, ka mēs nekad nepievērsāmies kristietībai un palikām uzticīgi saviem dieviem. Tu tikai Jāņus svini vai Ziemassvētkus ar? A kā ar Jurģiem vai Mārtiņdienu?

@@dk.kapsukas2195 amen

Merry Christmas!

the french cavalry was actually quite powerful and potent.

@@blugaledoh2669 it's a meme my dear comrade.

NOOBS

I've read that the "newcomers" were actually conscripts from the Baltic lands, that's why they disobeyed the attack order, and supposedly they just ran and even switched sides when the battle started.

@@dokfoto that would explain what happened, but what crossed the mind of the grandmeister relaying on potetially treasonous soldiers so much in hostile territory slips my mind in this scenario.

I think the video will be, because it's a battle into the, top 10 best battle in the history

I am waiting. 😊

I support this fully!!
