LOVE your content man(Daniel here)!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Love your videos!💚
Battle of Chocim (1621)Battle of Chocim (1673)Great battles of Poland and Turkey This must be shown on your channel! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You're amazing man 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
You are Daniel's shadow :)
Whatever your thoughts on Richard III are, I think we can all agree on one thing: the man did not lack for courage.
Indeed as even the chronclies recount that he died like a king, fighting manfully in the thickest parts of his enemies.
what a dumbass though
Rimmer (Red Dwarf): ""Richard III, you moron! That brilliant 'Now' speech he does at the beginning! 'Now… something, something, something.' Oh, it's brilliant."
Nor Henry Tudor, to be fair - standing to receive what must have been an absolutely terrifying cavalry charge in his first experience of battle.
@@countdowntorevolution9986 Maybe, but that seems to be the sum of his courage, as he hides amongst his bodyguard, while they died for him and if it weren't for Stanley's timely intervention would have been eventually slain by Richard.
He has no reputation as warrior or being possessed of any great martial prowess in contrast to both his predecessor and successor.
Richard: "He died of melancholy."
Edward: "You named your mace melancholy, didn't you?"
That may have been your best intro to any video, perhaps to any history video ive seen. I love how you bring us into the field to get a glimpse of being at the ground, individual level and really bring history to life. Thank you
Wow, thank you!
totally agree!
@@HistoryMarche yeah this was really good
@@HistoryMarcheoh shut up. You know you are doing a badazz job at this. 😂
I agree
Ive requested this battle for so long! Thanks for making it happen man! (Daniel here)❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hope you enjoyed it!
Fun fact-Richard despite having scoliosis which is the curving of the spine was able to kill the standard bearer Of Henry Tudor and unhorse the Jousting champion as well as coming to a swords length Of Killing Henry Tudor
Well, he's so strong, he commanded the murder of the Princes in the Tower without hesitation.
@@circleancopan7748except they died after Richard. It's a Tudor myth that Richard had them killed.
@@circleancopan7748yea they largely agree Richard didn't kill them, the last sighting was prior to bosworth but Richard hadn't yet reported declared them bastards, his wife however and Margaret Tudor were already making moves and well Richard's wife died, Margaret as well as other Lancastrians had more reasons to get rid of the princed than Richard ever did. Hell adopting his nephews would have solved the issue of succession and secured his place even more had he actually launched a coup
@@commiemeth I don't know about 'adopting' them since Richard had branded them as illegitimate due to the fact that his brother Edward IV was technically married when he wed Elizabeth Woodvile. That was the basis of his claim to the throne over Edward's children.
Henry would treat the Princes better than what Richard did. Period.
Richard's paranoia is seeped.
This was so immersive. You are on a roll lately! Richard shown as a monster in the intro got me hooked!
You should watch Blackadder, they have a hilarious take on Richard III.
Well, who's greatest ruler orders 2 innocent kids killed, just because he's paranoid?
And his physical condition made his psyche worse.
@@circleancopan7748 Nonsense.
@@zetectic7968yea it's all Tudor propaganda. They were alive when Henry won at Bosworth. It was even scientifically proved that Richard's portraits were edited after his death.
Still Richard eliminated the Princes because his mind told him that 2 royal brothers are a threat to him. Deal with it.
I like the fact that the battle of bosworth and sekigahara were eerily similar with each other. Each were decided by the intervention of third parties on the battlefield and both have generals in the losing side who didn't commit their own troops in the battlefield.
Also both battles resulted in the establishment of a new dynasty (Tudor & Tokugawa) respectively and end of the major fighting in the civil wars for both countries (although sengoku Jidai would drag on until 1615 with the siege of Osaka)
The similarities between Japan and the UK are kinda crazy when you rhink about it.
I was going to comment about it, too, but you beat me to it. Lots of similarities between what would become Great Britain and Japan. Both island nations, near their culturally linked mainland. Both become dominate powers, reliant on their advanced technology. The later English Civil War, momentarily brings the Republic, and the New Model Army. While in Japan, you have the Meiji Restoration, that overthrows the Tokugawa Shogunate, with a modern reformed army. Now both still have figurehead monarchies, and both currently in a financial pickle, though Japan seems to be emerging from it, while its earlier on in the UK, in its cycle.
@@michaelmoorrees3585 And both were kicked by the americans. Joking aside, it's not that unusual for civil wars to end with third parties involved. I can think of other 2 examples locally.
Bullshit
@@michaelmoorrees3585closer to Germany culturally than mercantil UK
Wow what an intro!! This channel is absolutely stunning in its presentation of this conflict. I always hate it when the video ends. Also the narrator's voice is nearly perfect.
I wonder how different history would've been had Richard III retreated from Bosworth Field instead of fighting the the death. Great video.
The treachery wanted acting out. Retreat, then threaten the Stanley's. Riding out to attack Henry exposed himself needlessly. Just saying. Peace be unto you.
He probably wouldn't have sat on the throne for much longer. A humiliating defeat during the battle would likely have caused further dissent among the English nobles, and he would have just been defeated at a later point in time. Which is one possible reason why he chose to fight to the death. His ability to keep the nobles in line was based in large part on his military abilities, and he couldn't afford for that reputation to be dashed.
But there was no need to retreat. Richard had enough army to hold his high ground.
Plenty of archers and canons to soften any uphill attack by his enemies.
But no, he decided to rush into the middle of the battlefield with his smaller contingent, right into the jaws of his enemy and a trechurous lord Strange.
It was a bold, but stupid move that cost him his life.
@@incognito1539 God dispatches child-murderers with many ways. One of them is making them feel invisible and act the wrong way, Then Nemesis follows...
Some said its a slander.. Written by Henry's supporters to taint Richars reputation
Who knows
Margaret Of Beaufort, Henry VII’s mother, deserves her own video. She was a pragmatist who orchestrated Henry’s rise to the thrown for almost thirty years. The army that Henry fought with at the Battle of Bosworth was funded by her.
She was also 12 when she gave birth to Henry and nearly died going into labor.
The army that saved their bacon was the army of her husband, Thomas Stanley, one of the most powerful lords.
@@mbgal7758 Yes, but his mother was a wealthy woman, and armies need funding. Her goal for the entirety of the War of The Roses was to get Henry on the throne. Lord Stanley did deliver the crucial blow on the battle, but her funds also helped hire troops.
@@TheStrategos392 I have to disagree with you there. I don’t believe she was trying to put him on the throne before the disappearance of the princes. It just wasn’t feasible and doesn’t go along with what we know of her activities. She was desperately trying to get his title as the Earl of Richmond back and his confiscated lands for a long time and she wanted to smooth things over with Edward so he could return to the country.
Henry’s claim was so weak, I think you’re over estimated her scheming. If you have any type of evidence to support the claim she planned it for 30 years I would love for you to point me in the direction of those primary sources.
@@mbgal7758 Dan Jones, the historian, did an entire hour documentary on Margaret Of Beaufort, where he discussing these very issues. Now perhaps scheming the entire 30 years for Henry to obtain the throne is debatable, but she saw an opportunity for him once the Princes disappeared and Richard III became hated at court. Her actions during the thirty years war culminated in Henry Tudor ascending the throne. It is an interesting debate. I came to that conclusion because of the end game. Watch the documentary, it is very interesting.
I don't understand why the video says Lord Stanley had been a supporter of Richard for decades. Stanley and Richard knew each other from the latter's time as Warden of the North and they loathed one another. Stanley built his power and riches on kidnapping the children of other nobles and holding them for ransom as well as other dubious acts that were only made possible by the chaos of the war of the roses. Richard forced him to put a stop to his racket and he never forgave him. This is why he held his son hostage because he did not trust him at all to be loyal. It's worth mentioning as well that Stanley is the quintessential side switcher of the period and he never committed to a faction until a clear winner had emerged. The guy was far more monstrous than anything Tudor historiography can conjure up on Richard III.
So the guy was even more slimy than in the TV series. Interesting.
One of the most poetic and amazing intro from any of your previous videos. Truly a great recounting of the battle.
The Battle of Bosworth Field on 22 August 1485 was the last significant battle of the Wars of the Roses (22 May 1455 - 16 June 1487), the civil war between the houses of Lancaster and York. The House of Tudor was an English and Welsh dynasty that held the throne of England from 1485 to 1603.
I hope you guys adapt the rest of the wars of the roses! It's the epitome of medieval warfare, the last roar of a dying age ended at the tip of the swiss pikes
O😊njm
Richard III was a troubled king, but undeniably one of the fiercest warrior in history. He participated in almost all of Edward IV's (his brother) major battles in the Wars of Roses and played critical roles in each of them. His final moment in the Bosworth was the most glorious death a solider could get.
This is an outdated version of the battlefield. Dr Glenn Foard's mapping of the battle debris, cannonballs, and the famous silver-gilt boar badge, place the battle a mile SW of Ambien Hill.
Henry spent the night of Aug. 21 at Merevale Abbey. Northumberland could not move against Henry because the Stanleys were covering Henry's right. Much evidence of artillery duel between the presumed position of both Stanleys against Northumberland, who was facing south. Lots of updates needed here.
Seems like a common problem for these TH-cam channels, Kings and Generals do the same on their Bosworth video
Archeology is constantly changing history still a good video though
It's always a good day when History Marche drops a video, especially if it's about RICHARD III! THANK YOU!!!
This is What you Call A Classic within English or even World History.
I felt myself on the battlefield in this intro! Oh boy it was so damn good! Great writing & visuals, not to mention David McCallion nailed it again!
That introduction was a movie, and a lifetime, in a few minutes. Amazingly done.
This was some of your best work, Salud, engaged from start to finish
I enjoy every video and think your channel has the best narration / writing of any history channel, but this opening monologue was your best work yet. So sick
Been asking for this for ages!!! So glad you've finally done it, you are the best 100%
Outstanding! The intro was great, the backstory is well told, and the events of the actual battle are related to the viewer in a clean, straightforward fashion.
Love your content! Keep going 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
Nicely done. Thoroughly enjoyed that bit of history. Thanks.
The commentary is unique. Thank you for this video....and for the algorithm
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏🙏
The introduction is great, I loved it. Congratulations!
great stuff as always
Your content is awesome......the editing the explaining is awesome hope to see more of your content keep it up:)
This video had one of the BEST openings EVVVVEEERRRRRR!!!!
Really good video - the best quick fire summary of the Wars of the Roses I have yet seen.
Another amazing video as always!
Thanks again!
@@HistoryMarcheyou're awesome 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thank you for your hard work, I love your content and information, keep up your great work.
Great quality as always, your group must have a few million subscribers, I also hope you support the Roman and Parthian campaign in the future.
Much appreciated! Definitely will cover Rome vs Parthia
Your writing has improved. Well done, keep at it.
Awesome as always
What an intro
It is magnificent, it gave me chills.
One hech of an opening. You guys just keep getting better.
As usual, it is very detailed and enjoyable 👍
Very well done and remarkably thorough in all aspects of politics and war, which often intermingle, especially among the English and French. I have come to rely on the videos from my daily exercise of walking, I listen to it and envision it in my head.
Another amazing video as always man! Huge fan 😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks a ton! I truly appreciate you! Thanks for stopping by the live stream
@@HistoryMarche Always
As always gold tier content from this channel! never fails to be interesting!
Another amazing video! The intro was really amazing!
Thanks so much!
You do such an amazing job painting a story
Wow! What an intro. One of the most famous moments in English history, one that I've seen many times in various retellings, both live action and not, but never quite like this. In particular, there are many attempts to portray Richard "sympathetically," but until this one I've never really seen one that truly does it right.
We just finished Conn Igguldan's Wars of the Roses on audio. this video and the others you have of this era tie it all together nicely. Thanks. The jury is out for me about the intro. I dislike being teased then made to wait for the subject to really begin. However your videos are outstanding in the whole and I appreciate that.
Great video! What a tumultuous period in English history.⚔🔥👏
Damn now that is what I call an Intro. Excellent work. It's Important to see History not only as a series of facts
Great video thanks
Well done!
Great video!
The intro to this video is fire 🔥
Superb watch😀🏴.
Major error around 9.58, Richard's father claimed the throne due to his descent from Edward III, via his second son; Lionel of Antwerp, not John of Gaunt as it was the Lancastrians who were descended from his third son; John of Gaunt.
This is another excellent video & intriguing intro by HistoryMarche. It really has been a long time coming, covering the War of the Roses. The period that inspired the story of Game of Thrones. Historically, for both Henry VII and Richard III, at best, they are represented by Daenerys Targaryen (Henry VII) and Stannis Baratheon with hints of Tyrion Lannister (Richard III). Many would see certain or some parallels between the War of the Five Kings & Daenerys's return from exile to claim the throne.
Great video, but I wish you would have done a better job pointing out how important Lord Blackadder actions were during this battle and how him over sleeping changed the history of England 😁
Good point! My bad 🤣
@@HistoryMarche I saw the title of the video and my first thought went to Blackadder 😁
amazing intro, great writing.
Thank you.
Dialogue is so well written, whata great channel
Thank You Guys heartily for doing Bosworth so well!!! (so next Towton???!) Cheers!
If this video does well, I don't see why not. Towton is a fantastic battle!
Awesome video lad. As a fellow Yorkshireman I take pride in the War Of the The Roses and I’m glad other find the history fascinating from all across the world. I highly recommend a documentary on TH-cam called ‘Britain’s Bloody Crown’. It’s a small tv documentary that shows that starts with the Plantagenets taking the throne and it ends at Bosworth field.
P.S I am from Wakefield and I had to do the battle for my coursework in high school.
i swear your videos are so well made! the music, the narrator's voice, SO GOOD MAN. Btw when are u guys releasing Hannibal's new episode?
Working on Hannibal 20 now.
Excellent lecture👍👍👍
ANOTHER WONDERFUL HISTORICAL COVERAGE VIDEO SHARED BY AN EXCELLENT (🙏 HISTORY MARCHE) channel .video clearly explained all events that clashed between
British Royals armies and its opponent rebellious... Thank you for sharing
A true storyteller ❤💯
Great video. Archeological digs and studies in this century have determined that Ambion hill was not the actual site of this battle although it was believed to so for centuries.
God DAMD!!! that was an intro and a half!😱💪
Excellent video
Lord Stanley's position and behavior was brilliantly done and imo shows he had decided long before the battle to join Henry. To see it, first remove Stanley's forces from the battlefield altogether, Richard's army was so much bigger he could swing two of his battlions around and easily envelope Henry. Now put Stanley's forces back on the field but have him join Henry right away, again Richards army is so much bigger he could still easily envelope the Henry/Stanley combined army. So where could Stanley place his forces to keep Richard from enveloping Henry? Right where he did. If Richard tries to wheel his two battalions around on Henry then Stanley can hit them in the rear. Stanley plonked his small force in the perfect spot to keep two thirds of Richards army from closing in on Henry and his behavior confused Richard enough to make this take effect.
Watching the battle to unfold for the first time I thought exactly the same.
That intro was amazing
Walter Frey and house Frey are House Stanley. Waits until a clear winner then picks a side
That was an great intro!
Great video
Holy f..! What an intro!
You people are definitely the troubadours of our time!
👏👏👏
That intro was wild
That is the most epic intro ever. Period.
Battle of Chocim (1621)Battle of Chocim (1673)Great battles of Poland and Turkey This must be shown on your channel! For many Poles, including me, I would like to see these 2 Battles because there is something to look at, you make wonderful films 🤝🤝I like watching your videos, you do a great job and if you have a chance one day, please don't forget about these 2 battles
Thanks so much for supporting my work! I plan on working on Khotyn 1621 fairly soon. If all goes well, I should be able to finish the video by February.
Best one, yet!
This and Sekigahara are examples of decisive battles whose outcome (especially the impact on the nation's history) depended on the indecisiveness of one lord's army before joining the other side near the end of the conflict.
Not going to lie that Thumbnail Tentacle Monster baited me to clicking
For HistoryMarche and the algorithm!
Nice Video 🦅❤
Thank you very much!
@@HistoryMarcheyou're the Best 😊❤❤❤
Awesome info! Keep it up! New subscriber here! ❤
Welcome!!
HEY man! The comments finally work again! Amazing video! One of the most signifocant battles in English history! Love your content! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah YT is bugged the last few days. I dunno what the hell is going on. It's killing my videos.
@@HistoryMarche hope we're helping them survive
Not English here. Not joking at all when I say that the time I first learned of this battle was when I watched the first season of Blackadder.
ow dear there where lots of battles in england in the middle ages. It was kind of a complex story for me ... thanks again for the nice vid
Richard had the bigger army and the better position, yet he somehow manages to lose in a spectacular way. Wow.
That intro was spectacular.
Thank you kindly!
Duke of Norfolk,was slained by a Knight named John Savage,his brother Thomas Savage was Archbishop of York and Chaplain to Henry VII.both were the nephews of Thomas and William Stanley via their mother Katherine Stanley.
Thx for content @HistoryMarche ❤
🐐 OF TH-cam💯💯🔥🔥
Verry interessting, bravo
It is refreshing to see Richard III has another narrative than "horse .. horse, my kingdom for a horse"
But still the murders of the Princes was there. He did order that, if he wants to secure his reign.
@@circleancopan7748 yeah I'm talking about the pure evil limbed narrative that Shakespeare invented and the other history use it
People can criticize Richard III for his conniving, weak willed character regarding the fate of the princes of the tower and how he grabbed power. But he died fighting like a true king.
Thanks
What a great presentation only thing I would add is Makinder claims Stanley swung west and joined Henry pushing the York’s back up the road to the spot Richard fell
Richard iii downfall was based on two things: Henry Percy 4th Earl of Northumberland betrayed Richard by not supporting Norfolk when ordered. Why? When King Richard was based in the North of England as Duke of Gloucester he was a rival to Percy, and when Richard became king he opted to place nephew in taking charge over the north instead of Percy obviously creating animosity. Secondly, a man called lord Lidley offered his support to Henry. This is important because this lord owned the land around Bosworth and therefore able to strategically position Henry’s army on the battle field.
Richard would have won if not for the betrayal of the nobles. Richard fought so bravely until his dad end.
Brilliant video. The Duke of Yorke's claim to the throne however stemmed from the Mortimer claim, which was descended from Lionel of Antwerp, older brother of John of Gaunt
The Stanley’s remind me of late lord Frey
You are mostly right and the other half of being Peter Belish - Littlefinger. Despite the likelihood of losing a son, like Walter in GoT, and later Peter in latter seasons, Stanley wanted to know who had the chance of being more successful.
Like in the S7 Battle of the Bastards, The Vale came at the last min to save John from the Boltons & retaking the North.
Unlike John, Henry's army was slightly still more professional, had more robust leadership (Sir Jorah, Grey Worm, Sir Barristan & others) and akin to the levels of Daenerys's forces.
