Wait a second. Are you telling me that Baz Battles just featured a battle WITHOUT a terrible military blunder by either side AND AN ORGANIZED RETREAT BY THE LOSING PARTY? Thats impossible.
Baldwin VII of Flanders was the son of Robert II of Flanders who had gone to the first crusade with Robert Curthose, so it makes sense he bouched for Clito rather than Henry as duke of Normandy. History is really fascinating when you join the dots like that!!
Just like my games of Crusader kings. You manage to finally secure the succession of a duchy for your heir, and then boom, random event, your heir is dead.
I quit EU IV largely because of heir death. I imagine heir death MMTH is age 15. It felt like only one in three transitions was not under thread of succession fkery. Maybe I needed paid DLC to fix that. >:(

I love your videos and was just thinking it would be cool if you did a Christmas video, like Washington crossing the Delaware or some other battle that took place on Christmas.
Can you do the battle off Samar? I feel like it hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves. If you haven’t heard of the battle off Samar, it is basically the best example of a David vs Goliath battle where the American fleet of 7 destroyers successfully fended off the entire Japanese fleet of several battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. The battle was so one sided with such great heroics on the American side that if a movie were made today on it it would be dismissed as too unrealistic.
The period between the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Philippine Sea is a giant black hole. I wouldn't mind watching something on the naval battles that happened in between.
Best part, only 3 of them were actual destroyers. 4 were destroyer escorts, part of Taffy 3. It also included 6 escort carriers but everyone loves the story of the Johnston and the Samuel B Roberts. The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship.
You forgot the hundreds of aircraft the Americans had during Samar, while the Japanese had none, as well as the huge technological gap in fire control, damage control, recon and communications. Not to mention the Japanese were operating on a time constraint seeing how the main US fleet was on its way back. It was nowhere near a david vs goliath scenario.
Henry's the luckiest unluckiest king during this time. He won the battle, but all of his gains disappeared when his son died

Back in the days they did not know about men being infertile. He probably put so much pressure on his wife she cheated and only got one kid and called it a day. So the kid ain't his anyway. I'd be suspicious if I only got one kid.
Maybe to test the French resolve. It might be the knights were spoiling for a fight. Some would refuse to dismount. One would think holding them in the wings would have been best, but it worked out. TL;DR I don't know but it's interesting.
I saw it like... aww shit its The Roman Empire V Which still sounds better than the holy roman empire. Has that call of duty ring to it. "Here we go again boys"

Call me basic but I'd love to see, Agincourt (In a series about the 100 years war), Pavia (In a series about the Italian Wars), Arsuf (In a series about the second Crusade) and Manzikert (In the series about the Easter Roman/Byzantine Empire).

Louis VI was the first great french king since Charlemagne. He was the first to bring the people on the side of the monarchy by brandishing the banner of Saint Denis, named Montjoie. He consecrated his kingdom to Saint Martin of Tours, first Patron of warriors. And he forced away the Teuton "Emperor" Otto without battle, frightening him with the fervour of the citizen militia. Oh and he's one of the earliest investors in "Gothic" architecture, a great patron of scholars and merchants. By all means, more than just a warrior king.
I think GRRM said that Robert was based a bit on Edward IV of England and Henry VIII to a lesser extent, however there do appear to be a few overarching similarities here between Robert and Louis VI.

I think the character of Robert Baratheon from GOT might have been inspired by King Louis VI.
Louis VI was the first great french king since Charlemagne. He was the first to bring the people on the side of the monarchy by brandishing the banner of Saint Denis, named Montjoie. He consecrated his kingdom to Saint Martin of Tours, first Patron of warriors. And he forced away the Teuton "Emperor" Otto without battle, frightening him with the fervour of the citizen militia.
Oh and he's one of the earliest investors in "Gothic" architecture, a great patron of scholars and merchants.
By all means, more than just a warrior king.
I think GRRM said that Robert was based a bit on Edward IV of England and Henry VIII to a lesser extent, however there do appear to be a few overarching similarities here between Robert and Louis VI.
