Armor is mid to late 15th century, more appropriate for the Battle of Castillon 1453 and early Wars of the Roses or Burgundian Wars up to about 1470s. Excellent graphics.

Yes the longbow men were very frightening! I was horrified watching the french advance into a shower of arrows. And the poor horses were slaughtered too. I read that in battles like that wounded horse caused chaos running around the battlefield screaming in pain and trampling over wounded men. Throwing there rider and or racing into the enemy line it was madness. I admire the courage of all these men that fought that day. And all days... Im absolutely horrified!
Agincourt took place in the modern Pas-De-Calais region of Northern France, near the coast at Calais. that region is geographically part of the low countries and thus would have been relatively flat. there is no way there were/are mountains there.
Great presentation, I have trucked by the battle field more than once, its a wheat field now. I guess the French dont want to celebrate this moment in history.
@@MarquisVincentBissetdeGramont And I also salute the French who sailed to Wales in 1405 assisting the Welsh in their battle for Welsh independence..🏴✊🇫🇷
I've seen other historical videos of this battle. In some of them, it was claimed the English bowmen used arrows, with soft metal tips, that could not penetrate the armor of the French Knights. However, those same arrows COULD penetrate the lightly protected flanks of their horses. Thus the French cavalry was rendered ineffective after suffering the loss of so many of their steads. After those knights were brought down on the ground, the bowmen dropped their bows and took up whatever weapons they carried and finished them off.
Archers firing into a melee was a very common tactic although yes your archers would aim at the back of the pack to avoid hitting their own soldiers......& also it was a very common tactic to kill the horse so that you might seriously injure or? even kill the rider before the foot soldiers got to them which would obviously not be a happy ending for the knight....there were lots of different tactics used that were gradually phased out because they were deemed too brutal....
In a weird way it reminds you of Dunkirk with their backs to the wall. King Henry was brilliant using the weather and terrain to his advantage. Alexander the Great used to do the same thing. Bet the Fletcher's we're working OT in France
I have watched alot of battles on tv anf it didnt bother me much. This video gave me a glimpse of battle that was brutal and frightening. The french trotting there horses and being killed by arrows and not fleeing when the longbow men was wipping them out. Wearing fancy armor and good horses was expensive back then its a terrible waist. I thought about it and i was frightened. Would never want to see or fight in that battle in real life.
Great video! It was a joy to watch. But could you think about removing the black bars? Due to them I now have black bars on all four sides of the video on my ultra-wide monitor. Had to scooch a little closer due to the video being smaller because of this - well, who are we kidding, I came closer because I was on the edge of my seat. Tiny nitpick: It is actually unlikely that the French army counted 20k men, even 15k for that matter is at the upper end of what would have been possible at the time. In the decades prior, French armies that large were rarely seen - only when recruited from all over France and the army at Agincourt only had recruited from a small portion of France. But historians seems to be split on this.
Think England has the Welsh to thank for the Longbow....amongst other things!! 😆 You had to practice with the bow every Sunday after Church was like a national duty I heard!!
Well, there are some anachronisms like too much of a "white armour" (at that time a surcoat was usually worn over armour, and white armour didn't become more popular until after c. 1420). Also, the armour looks rather late 15th century, it looks German-Gothic, which was not used at the time of this battle. The hounskull helmet is correct, but not usually combined with a metal gorget. Full armets are also visible - the full armet is a late type of helmet, in 1415 it was certainly not yet known. Also, the horse armour shown here is incorrect as it appears to be late 15th century (some of the visible chanphrons appear to be even as late as the 16th century). Plus a few more details.
Archery was considered by the French knighthood code of chivalry as a dishonorable and coward weapon. They didn't even bothered advancing their own bowmen and expected to fight face to face between knights. The French also expected to logically crushed the English men-at-arms but they were eventually decimated by distant arrows...
The arrows flying along a ballistic trajectory cannot cause any harm to knights clad in armor. It's beautiful in the movies, but has nothing in common with reality.
What up with this landscape? ...that part of France does not have huge snow capped mountains...it is flat or has low rollings hills, sort of like New Jersey in the US.
Can someone please answer to me of arrow's as depicted here were as effective as they would've physically been? Arrows against armour just doesn't seem that penetrable, or am I underestimating the piercing value of an arrow, let along a longbow arrow?
even if an arrow shot from a 100lb+ war-bow was deflected by your armour the impact alone would be quite an unpleasant experience and something you would try to avoid. these poor buggers were completely bombarded from all sides with no respite. even if they made it to the English lines unpierced they would have been dazed, battered, bruised, exhausted and quite disorientated.
The recreation makes it seem like the French Calvary rode at a slow pace towards the English. You would think they would've been at full charge with a hail of arrows raining down on them.
The video does not show the mud being a major factor in the French army's defeat. It also does not show how the French were unable to take advantage of their superior numbers by getting funneled into a very narrow part of the field.
if i was the French i would climb up a tree and watch the battle and when the battle was over i would bang my head on the tree to get bloodied and be like man that battle was harsh when i returned( i will never make a French retreating joke again)
The Bowman iniatially stood at the front of the army, and they shot their arrows straight at the horses so that they would either fall or throw their knights. The bowman also carried what we now call stilletto knives. They would rush out and kill the fallen knights by putting their knives in the eye slits of the knights helmets. Then they would rush back behind the stakes they had put in to the ground. Because the french knights were very heavy once they were toppled they were doomed as they were unable to stand up and defend themselves. Also because the field was quite narrow, the horsemen at the back continued to move forward where they met the dead on the floor, and those that were retreating. This caused chaos and they became easy targets of the archers.
It is a complete fallacy that a knight was to heavy to stand up once fallen, this has been debunked many, many times. That people still ignorantly write this is baffling! However, you are correct that the bowman fired directly, rather than 'hopeful' volleys into the air, arrows were expensive and limited in number they made them count!
It's a bit like now. The thinking is still tanks and artillery, but a few hundred small drones, with AI artillery and tank recognition, and some C4 stuck to their backsides and a battlefield full of artillery and tanks are toast. And a few thousand mini drones with AI soldier recognition, and the soldiers are also toast. Just a thought.
England v France? More like the French monarchy v The Plantagenets with a few thousand English archers and men at arms along for the ride to see what they can steal. Great videos BTW and the battle scenes are spot on....keep posting.....
But why is there only vids about english victories in the 100 years war? What about Patay, Orléans, Formigny, Castillon ? After all, english armies were finally defeated and were obliged to pitifully re-embark ...
Is this Medieval Total war 2?? Medieval Total War early game totally other battle show. There is French horses knights attack and destroy British Bow arrows mans back attack. I not see this attack here. This Medieval total war 2005 near maked
I'll take the 7000 longbowmen. Who at a fire rate of 12 to 15 arrows a minute will give me 12000 arrows striking the French a minute. Add to that the fact that Henry stockpiled arrows for 9 years and you get a bunch of noble French pincushions.
I just think that the English also had 2000 men of infantry and but 1200 knights and 5000 archers giving 8200 men but I could be wrong too but anyway congratulations

very good content you do bro I love this video it looks so real and the music.
Agincourt took place in the modern Pas-De-Calais region of Northern France, near the coast at Calais. that region is geographically part of the low countries and thus would have been relatively flat. there is no way there were/are mountains there.
That's true. Maybe it was difficult/impossible to delete them from the scenes.......
No kidding. I just looked on Google Earth. It is flat.
There are no mountains anywhere near Agincourt. Maybe the English turned south by mistake and ended up in Switzerland.
Great presentation, I have trucked by the battle field more than once, its a wheat field now. I guess the French dont want to celebrate this moment in history.
Some of this drone footage is incredible. !!

Ohhh the battle of the bastards audio fits so well!
Could hear Ramsey’s voice at one point haha
Most excellent 👍 graphics. I've been playing Age of Empires since 2006 1-3 version's and didn't realize that the graphics have advanced this far
the sky turned black due to the amount of arrows in the air
as if it snowed
@@10000years no, snow is white, the sky turned black
@@sugargliderdude it was reported that an English soldier at Agincourt quoted the sight of raining arrows as snow falling down upon the ground
i remember the movie timeline there was a large battle between france and england and thesky turned black from arrows
Did they fight in the shade ?😊
Lesson learned. Never pick a fight with the English 🏴
Said someone who lost most of the wars with French😂. Keep trying.
Just amazing 👌
Awesome just awesome
The longbowman must have the worst sore arm in their lives
Thats what I wondered !
All men in England and Wales had to attend practice on Sundays with the bow.

Nice, but a significant number of the archers were Welsh. It wasn't an 'English' army, more of a Plantagenet one.
Wrong

So I’ve heard
Not really because at that time English also used their own longbow
The Welsh weren’t doing much with the longbow
Yeh the England used them first at Falkirk
English long bow was more powerful then the Welsh bow on account the English practiced since childhood.
I would be more scared of an English Longbow man than a Knight

I'm surprise to see that there are mountains in the background. They must be high to have snow on them in October. Looks like Switzerland.
old video, many mistakes were made
Forerunner of the Gattling gun/machine gun, and just as deadly for its day.
The sky must've been almost black with arrows.
Keep hearing that guy getting shot in the arse in Braveheart, plus other Braveheart noises

Heavy arrow 200mph with a sharp metal tip dipped in shit.. Deadly.. Also many of the archers had dysentary & did not wear pants.. Nasty
it actually depends on the arrowhead
Great graphics but more narration would have been helpful.
