The Hundred Years' War: The Battle of Crécy, 1346 

Let's hire Pavese Crossbowmen... Now, let us send them forward WITHOUT their shields! Genius!

The Story of Blind King John is an amazing heroic chivalry in action!

The English deliberately lured the French to the battlefield by staying just ahead of them, so that Philip was tricked into thinking that he was the hunter while he was actually the hunted.

Another great video, HoH! The hundred years war is really an interesting conflict. This style is good but I'm glad you guys are gonna do the squares and rectangles combination (i thought this was a HistoryMarche video at first lol)

Another fine lecture. A nice calm narrator with a bit of annoying background noise; but like other lectures manageable, historical background knowledge and well done.👍👍👍

Nice video, can you make a series about the Meiji Restoration era and the Russo-Japanese war?

Great video! Would love to learn more about the Black Prince, he seems like a badass

Amazing as always HOH!

Huge fan HoH! One lf englands greatest victories agaisnt france! Edward III and his heir the black prince really shined! Please do the battle of poitiers someday!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Wasn't this the first battle to have a cannon used?

great video as usual! i would love to see an animated battle of Plataea at 479 BC

Well put together friend, respect

Great presentation!

Good job! I think the map at the end is of a period 50 years later

Great vídeo! Thanks for sharing ❤

I’m looking forward to your take on the 100 years war.

Great Video. When is the next video on the Prussian/Austrian war coming out?

Please cover more Chinese history. These hundred year battles have been talked a hundred times

I like how it’s now basically doctrine that a single line through an army unit means it’s cavalry

when your only tactic is charge...and charge again after you have lost your missile troops...then its really a predictable one trick pony, that can be planned for :) i remember i make up a brand new scenario[6/7 player-for mtw2] to represent agricourt with the same predictability of events, with the french having tons of heavy foot and french knights and the english having a variety of some heavy foot , longbowmen and assorted spearmen, with the only rule that the french could'nt run/charge their troops[to represent the mud] and the results were perhaps close to the battle..the french did loss a significant number of troops,but did reach the mainbattle line, but got bogged down without that power of maneuverability of the horse[with the rule].....with perhaps a comparable result to the real battle[perhaps a bit more english dead perhaps-wink] which is a nice battle for medieval totalwar2 :)

Excellent work here Sir and your Team

Great video, lots of info and maps here really paint a vivid picture.

How about covering some preColumbian wars/campaigns fought in North, Central and South America? Inca conquest of the Andes, Aztec conquer of the Valley of Mexico, Commanche conquest of the Southern Plains. Or perhaps the rarely talked about Catholic vs. Catholic Hussite wars? Jan Ziskâ's perfect record as a medieval European Battlefield commander is an impressive accomplishment. Especially when one considers that for the first 7 years he lead his predominantly Czech forces against the Holy Roman Empire to victory after victory using his brilliant wagon fort tactics all with only one eye. . . Then he lost the other and STILL led the Hussite forces to an incredible spree of victory after victory whilst being completely blind for another seven years. Later he passed away setting the record as the only known battlefield commander of the middle ages to die with a perfect battlefield record. The surviving veterans who fought under Ziskâ took up the name "The Orphans", considering Jan Ziskâ to have been as a father to each of them. He remains a big time national hero to the Czechs.

Great video, really interesting and well done.🙂👍 Now, how about covering Bouvines someday, or Patay? In RU-vid history channels, concerning this war, there are so many videos about English victories, and so few about French ones, that obviously the kings of England won the war... didn't they?🙂

What a great and informative video - Thank You!

Another wonderful historical coverage of an episode of 💯 years wars between French and British .shared by an excellent ( House of History) channel. Thank you for sharing. Another time, an English long bow architectures 🏹 proved theirs supermarcy on battlefields..

Im a History Professor, And I love your Videos

I hope you complete the austro prussian war

I enjoyed this video. Nice job.

Ty 4 another video

Great video and i love that you use MTW2 that i love so much the best Medieval Turn based with real time battles and you can find a tone of awesome mods and campaigns have a nice weekend!👏👏

Thanks!

One of the more memorable instances of "Tactical Sausage Grinder""

May I please have the name of the first music played in this vedio?

Modern historian Joseph Dahmus includes the Battle of Crécy in his Seven Decisive Battles of the Middle Ages.

You forgot to mention That Philip Took an arrow to the face-I kinda respect it

The bohemian King, being blind, deserves all the respect he could garner.

very good video

There is a very, very important feature of the battlefield that makes this account invalid and shows you haven't read the single most important work on Crécy ("The Battle of Crécy 1346", ed. Andrew Ayton and Sir Philip Preston) or Livingston and DeVries' "The Battle of Crécy: A Casebook", which has the primary sources in translation and several useful chapters of scholarship (also sadly a bad attempt to relocate the battlefield). I wish RU-vidrs would actually do some real research and not just read Wikipedia.

I could never lose a battle like this

You miss the part where France Knight trampling genoa crossbowman on purpose. That explain so many Genoese died.

What if the French accepted the English king and there was no Hundred Years' War (or at least, not a war between the English & French, but a unified force expanding outward)?

Nice video.

The pronunciation of Hainaut is [ ɛˈnɔ].

Awesome 👌

The Fredericksburg of France basically.

Graphics and voice reminds me of bazbattles 😅

Italian wars of the medieval era please no one ever covers this

I noticed the French Calvary was held up by archers? How is that possible? Heavily armoured knights charging archers and the archers hold the line

Do you have a piece of the history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania? After all, it is in a sense a predecessor (or intermediate step) of modern day Ukraine. We should know more about them, as much as we know about the Russian Empire.

It's just like agincourt. Did the medieval french only have one strategy?

Great

Far be it that the King of Bohemia should run away. Instead, take me to the place where the noise of the battle is the loudest. The Lord will be with us. Nothing to fear. Just take good care of my son...... last recorded words of john of bohemia

So how are the Austrians doing.....🤔 Another great video 😁👍

Why does Edward ask for money if he just sacked Caen?

Battle from podul înalt

that many French dead and 40-300 English. That can't be possible in my opinion that many horses alone would kill over 300 men .. I can't understand it.....

Ooohhhh so close France! Better luck next time!

Plantagenet cool

It is cultural bias which gives more importance to battles of the Hundred Years War with temporary English victories and very little to French victories with larger significance. The English won this battle and several others, but lost the war. The battles of Formigny and Castillon ended the war, and were therefor much more important. Castillon was not only a French victory, but it was the first major battle where gunpowder weapons were the deciding factor. It changed warfare.

in case you missed it , the battlefield real location ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8Qx6Q5n8_20.html

I find numbers of dead reported in these medieval battles by the contemporary chroniclers much too overexaggerated. It's always like 400 dead on one side and 10000 on the other. It just makes no sense. I think they just made up numbers based on their own interpretation of the battle. Usually, casualties in battles were actually quite low. And I find it even more improbable that the french who were charging and on the offense take so much casualties. Especially when you consider that most casualties happened after the formation was broken and cavalry was sent to chase the routed enemies. The english were defending here and didn't pursue retreating french. Unless many died due to the crush as recently seen in south korea where many were stuck in a mob.

Great video. Would love to see you do the British hoards of Boudicca v's the remnants of the occupying Romans.

Europe lucky I wasn’t born in the 1300s💀🙏

48000 moldavians vs 120000 ottomans

Those were not Longbowmen, those were English Arquebusiers ... but keep up using M2TW - you are getting better!

👍

What a surprise, a 15525545564615th video about Crécy. Next Agincourt.

if it were the mongols , they would sent cracktroops to the weakly defended line and strike the king ... french noble but futile...

Maratha empire Shivaji Maharaj biography please make video

More shouting man thumbnail haha. This one is more subdued though.

We all know hills are bad im not going upon for sure they could have flanked its a shame 😢so many knights died for a botched assault

please stop using this horrible medieval total war footage, it just looks bad and will look even worse in the future

It would be interesting to see Great revolt of 1173 - 74 from you.

Make crimean war battles
