The Great Siege of Rouen 1418 | Hundred Years War (Episode 15) 

One of the best phrases on RU-vid: Kevin saying, "I've made a model." 😊 And a fantastic model it is, built by a wonderful storyteller who brings history to life. Thanks, Kevin!

Historysquaddies: "Say the thing! Say the thing!" Kevin: "I've made a model" 😄

When Kevin says 'I've made a model' you just know you're in for a great video. Thanks Kevin.

Nothing like listening to this bright chipper man recount some of the most gruesome tragedy's of history. Thanks for everything you do!

Just home. Sat with a coffee, switch on my phone & Kevin's got a new video.... ya beauty!!

Hi Kevin, you came to Dunraven School in South London about 10 years ago when I was 13 as Kevin the Bowman. I remember that was one of the first formative historical experiences I had as a young lad which has only turned into a deep love and passion for all things history. Then here I am today watching you on a successful RU-vid channel of your own making, funny how things work out! Keep up the great work, and thank you for being a huge inspiration to me and no doubt many others. Proud of you! Evan

I’m a simple man. I see Kevin Hicks uploaded a new video…. I have it on my toes!

I can't imagine this channel without models , what an amazing job, and story, Henry V did not mess around

I absolutely adore Kevin's models and knowledge.

My favorite topic of yours is this ongoing 100 years war series. I know only small bits/ broad strokes so having so much passionate detail and context really brings it all to life.

This is an excellent history lesson. You remind me of a teacher I had back in 1971-72. He didn't dress in period costume, but he acted out the parts of his subjects. He was a mine of information, and it was all in his head, not read from a book.

The model is AWESOME! Kev's still has the skillz! History like this is just incredible.

Not even 5 minutes in, and I am remarking what a wild story this is.

When Kevin says "I've made a model" you know it's going to be epic!

Since it's 9:46pm at night right now in philippines. I consider this video as a bedtime story from Mr. Hicks 🤘

When you can look at the model and actually picture yourself in the scene, you know it's an incredible model with details that are so complete and accurate it truly transports you! Fabulous work, Kev!

I’d love to see a in-depth video about medieval tunnel battles sounds terribly interesting

Kevin I hope you live to the age 200. We need this high quality history vidoes for a very long time coming from you! Thanks for this one and I look forward to many more!!!

"As you can see, I've made a model." LOVE IT!!❤

Love the castle in the back. Nice job looks great.

I wish Kevin had a new video EVERY DAY!👍Saint George!!!

Uh, it's fearful Friday with Kevin again. ;) Thanks as usual!

Its good to know that we irish warriors were over the top in battle back in those times. I feel proud hearing you explain how the peasants feared us. As a kind loving guy from the medieval city of Tralee with Cork ancestry in my blood I am honoured to hear we were no push overs in the 1400s

The Harfleur expedition was a Pyhric victory for the English.Nice video!

An excellent story-teller. Thank you. And what a model!

What a time. So hectic and uncertain! The poems truly reflect the essence of the medieval period.

The enthusiasm and passion that went into this video (and the amazing model you built!) are so infectious. There's really something to be said for channels like yours, just normal people sharing their interests in an authentic way. Thanks for what you do and for this engrossing series.

Have to look in the broken piggy bank for this one, excelled yourself once again Kevin of Saskatchewan, whomsoever advised the King on how to knock this city off really deserves the medal. So sad the people who were the pawns in all of this but we must always remember put your hand out in friendship to anyone during a War and you might get it taken off!

Fantastic video, Kevin! Another great job preserving and presenting our extremely important history! We cannot forget these historical events, they are precious and important to remember and to learn from. Thank you for another excellent job, Kevin!

It is one thing to get historical facts from a book, this is next level storytelling

Yet another fantastic video Kev!! Beautifully told, exciting, hugely informative, with a great model too! Part 15 of a great series!! My love and best wishes to you and Julie, Dave.

I love the long format. I had to set aside time to listen and look at your model. It was definitely worth it. You are an amazing teacher. Knowable with humor and drama. 👍 Amazing.

That's one hell of a model Kevin. Well worth the wait. Great video too of course

Great video Kevin, and a fantastic model as always. The sound of the cannon firing from within those enclosed stone towers must have deafened the gunman. Henry did some incredible innovative tactics in this siege. Excellent lesson and episode Kevin- Thank you!

Best history channel for detailed content Kevin cheers matey🤙🏻

What can I say that I’ve not said b4 about this chap, awesome storyteller, how history should be taught 🤘🏹

Thank you for this video, Kevin, it's not often that I come across a battle involving the English Army that I am not aware of these days but Hell! This whole campaigne was new to me. Thanks for recounting these stories and also for the way that you presented them... It's a great pity that you can't produce a version in French for the benefit of our cross-channel neighbours as I am sure that they would really enjoy this story!

Absolutely fantastic, I felt like id been transported back to the 1400's, and it has also inspired me to visit some of these places myself one day. I dont think Henry V gets the recognition amongst patriots of England that he deserves, he sounds like a true genius. Thank you, definitely the best history channel on youtube by far 👍

Best history videos on the net. Wish I had a history teacher who was as enthusiastic as Kevin. I certainly would have learned a lot more.

"I've made a model" - music to my ears! Another great video, thanks Kevin! You are such a talented story teller and manage to really colour the mental imagery - im fairly well versed on the main beats of the 100yrs war but you provide such a great perspective and don't try to sanitise the horrors and atrocities on all sides, acknowledging the realities of combat and war of the period - yes it was a different time, but they are our ancestors and its important to understand that they were generally all as bad as eachother (some were worse than others admittedly) - but these events shaped our lives and world today. Even the small detail of perfidy by the sailor who was the "wolf among dogs" - now a war crime, suppose then the closest thing to what could be called a "war crime" to them was attacking royalty, and naturally only by the recipient! you give me fond memories of my reenactment days when in my impression of a 14thC Bowman "recount my experiences" of famous battles, hopefully of a castle i was currently standing in to crowds of 20, 50, 100 people. Not to brag but ive no doubt you are familiar with the Keep of Pembroke castle?... Well, not to brag... well perhaps a little:- I could reliability hit a fellow reenactor at the very top through the top Crenellations (in appropriate protection & rubber tipped arrow of course), that and loosing a minimum of 15 arrows per minute at a static target, once loosing all 20 I had! Very fond memories you bring Kevin, thank you again as always. keep you bowstring dry!

Brilliant delivery , great story, history lives, you bring back history the way I remember from Junior school ' the invaders ', as after that, ? I shall hold my tongue 'less I lose it. Thanks again, Good man.😊

It amazes me that 527 years after this Siege of Caen, the English were once again sieging the city, but this time the residents of Caen were a little more welcoming.

And what a model it is! Well done, sir!

Kevin, superb video! As an old Napoleonic Wargamer (lead troops), I highly appreciate your work. I can just imagine the English relieving the Rouenaise of their wealth saying “oi , gov, ‘ere’s me old coat with ‘oles in it. Ye can ‘ave me fleas an’ lice, too. They’s in top condition. I tigger yers’ are starved to death. Fair trade, innit?” Cheers from the Pacific Northwest!

I hope you know - I'm sure you do - that here, you have created something truly special. Here, with our friend Kevin Hicks, all of us who watch your videos and learn with you, have a little, protected spot of the Internet, a safe haven if you like, that we might call home.

I wish I had something to listen to at work today... Oh look thehistorysquad posted a new video!

So based. Great video, I absolutely love the way you broke down this historic battle. Makes me proud of my English roots from across the pond. God bless you.

The Sun is shing and Kev's made a model. Happy days. But grim subject. Keep em coming Kev. Tell the Mrs they are essential props and not toys.

Dear Kevin, I love your style, bro. Your excitement in telling stories makes me excited to hear them. And the way your "crazy eyes" light up draws me in deeper. Regards, Jeff

Great diorama Kevin! Really enjoyed the video too!

Delightful and invaluable models. To depict the various types of endeavors and buildings that made this siege are so illuminating. And the succinct and thorough way Richard’s genius is explained makes this a great classic for me. I am always more than pleased with your presentations and underlying sense of humanity. You bring this era to life.Thanks so much for your work and the pleasure you take in your capabilities to share your understanding. If this seems effusive I began with H.G.Wells Outline of History when I was 9 and never stopped reading and watching so I have an extensive experience to judge from

28:15 OMG those bedrolls. Such attention to detail. The little pillows! The little knots in the wood posts! "It's only a model.." "Shh! It's a masterpiece!"

I always loved history at school but was hopeless at remembering names and dates! I sat enthralled all the way through your video! You are an amazing story teller, Thank you Kevin!!

Where has this channel been?! New sub. Can’t wait to binge watch.😊

Brilliant as always Kevin 👌

I genuinely look forward to Fridays partly because of a new HistorySquad upload. Fridays are special because: no work and uploads; free video game weekends over on Steam. And we eat something special, like some kind of takeout food. It's a special occasion and you're woven in to that "tradition". Thanks for ringing in the weekend for us!

Thank you, Kevin, for a most interesting video. It is like watching a documentary as I imagine the things you describe. Cheers from Texas.

Another great video Kevin and now I know it takes 48 minutes to cook my chorizo chilli 😊

Excellent video Kevin !! You should have your own TV show ! I would love to see a behind the scenes video of you constructing these fantastic models !

I swear, Kevin, you have the best, and most informative, videos I've seen. Thank you and please keep making them!

The fuse is lit.! Release the hounds of war! PS a nice work. As usual. Thanks Kevin

Kevin this has been one of your best videos to date. So much detail about the kind of things I like to know about history instead of just shapes on a map like many of the other videos out there tend to do.

First of all, the models keep getting better and better. Second of all, the taunting and hanging of stragglers reminds me so much of Monty Python's Holy Grail...

Your models are delightful. And you're sharing your skills with youth and inspiring them. Keep up the excellent work. You're making a difference.🤝

Thank you, Kevin. Well done as usual. 👍👏

I love this channel so much, always get excited to see a new upload. Thank you Mr Hicks

Thank you Kevin! I ve been busy back to work and this is a lovely brunch vid! "I've made a model"😀

This was just amazing. Thanks for sharing

The model work is exceptional, but the detail in the story is unparalleled. I really feel like I've gone back in time with these shows, the sights and smells. Not sure why they left a few weeks worth of food by the side of the river. You would think they could simply lower ropes and pull the food up the cliff face. Sad to hear about the starving in the moat. Those bloody French are stubborn. If they had just given up, the English would have soon buggered off to fight the Burgundians.

Always love your models, you do such detailed work ❤

Wonderful! Will you be doing the Siege of Orlean, 1429? Very famous characters and a favorite.

You try so hard for your passions and I just cannot help but watch some of the best history videos ever!

You're always making me think all my anscestors have always been there. ❤.

I really Like your Dioramas and stories, Your very Talented.

Another great model Kev, you never disappoint. Keep your storytelling coming. You're great, Dawn ❤❤❤

This why I love lernen about history it amazing

Kevin, this is a riveting story brilliantly told by you, a superb presentation, loved it !

Thanks Kevin. Everything is so informative and I'm always drawn right into the story. Keep the stories coming please.

Kevin, The work you put into your display is brilliant. I can only imagine the hours or work you put in to create this as well as your history presentation. I look closely at the display and can tell by the detail in everything you enjoyed making that,, Well done and thank you.

Thanks Kevin, splendid!

Yet another great one, Kev!!!

I wish my Longbow shooting channel was as good as the History squad! Dave.

This was so good!! Great job as usual!!

Thank You Mr Hicks

Utterly brilliant mate . You bring history to life . Good bless you and yours

Excellent & informative upload as per 👌🏻

Wow, I can't imagine how expensive this military campaign was. The supplies, the soldiers and the replacements, the equipment, the weapons, specialized personnel, the continuation of the campaign during winter. I'm sure King Henry V would be very darn worried about money.
