    🚩 Battle of Halidon Hill (1333) played a big part in the development of English military tactics. Edward III would later use the same defensive setup to confound the mounted chivalry of France at the Battles of Crécy and Poitiers. This was Edward III's first battle and the only one that he fought in England. At Halidon Hill he witnessed the strength of the defensive combination of archers and dismounted men-at-arms already used to great effect by Edward Balliol the previous year at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in Scotland.

    As I understand it, the reason Edward was expected to bend the knee to King Phillipe of France wasn't that England was part of the French sphere of authority but rather Edwards lands in France were. And not going to pay homage to Phillipe could have resulted in those lands being forfeit.

    • @michaelsnyder3871
      @michaelsnyder3871 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

      William the Conqueror and every English King through Henry VIII held French lands as vassals of the French King, William being Duke of Normandy, Count of Anjou and Maine and some others. Henry II added Aquitaine and Brittany through conquest and marriage. England was William's and his descendants by conquest and through the supposed behest of Edward the Confessor. The English kings until Edward I simply tried to avoid going to France and bending the knee for their French possessions, or like Henry II, ignore the French King since Henry II held more of "France" than the French King until his sons gave them away or lost them. From Edward I through Henry V, the Angevin/Plantagenet dynasts claimed the crown of France through a female relation, and an English King held as much or more land in France than the French King and Henry V actually was crowned as king before his death. Henry VI inherited the insanity of the Valois, the resurgence of the French and the Hundred Years War saw the end of English possessions in France.

    • @MrLuchenkov
      @MrLuchenkov 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Aquitaine, indeed.
      The lands were seized by the kings of France (first Philippe IV in 1296 and his son Charles IV in 1324) due to a failure in feudal duties (precisely the lack of homage).
      By 1360, Edward III will force the French to give him full sovereignty over the Duchy, along with several other possessions. This state lasted for a little under a century. By 1451, it was fully back into French hands and would remain so to this day.

      @@michaelsnyder3871 William 1 wasn't count of Anjou and Maine.
      The first one to be more than duke of Normandy was Henry 2 who inherited normandy from his mother, anjou, maine and touraine from his father and married the duchess of aquitaine but he was only duke consort.
      Henry 2 also wasn't duke of britanny but controlled it after Conan 4's death and the marriage of Constance (Conan's daughter) and Geoffroy (Henry 2's son).
      The reason why the normand/plantagenet were so adamant to bend the knee is that for almost 300 years between 900 and 1200, all the big nobles of france (duke and/or count) were more powerful than the king who in theory controlled the kingdom but in practice has barely no power outside the royal domain.
      The first king of england who claimed the throne of france was Edward 3, not Edward 1 and the claim ended with Edward 4 at picquigny in 1475.
      Henry 5 was never crowned as king before his death because he died before Charles 6 but Henry 6 was crowned in 1431 but it was pointless because the coronation happened at Paris instead of Reims.
      Henry 6 was under regency until 1437 and was more a victim of the civil war's end and the artillery rather than the french resurgence which happend in the late 1420's.

    For those who haven't heard this story before, it may seem jarring and out of character for the famously honorable Edward III to arrest and kill Mortimer out of nowhere, his mother boyfriend and one that didn't seem to do anything to Edward. It only seems out of nowhere, Mortimer definitely deserved his end (and not for having killed Edward IIIs father like some documentaries make it sound like). The young Edward was a true puppet and virtual prisoner of Mortimer, who had his movements heavily restricted and was surrounded by Mortimer's spies. Mortimer's vanity and ambition grew to the point that he was even taking precedence over Edward at public events. The two final straws broke when Edward III's son was born and then quickly after rumors that Edwards mother Isabella was pregnant. There was now a real danger that Edward III would either be killed (secretly assassinated) in favor of his own son becoming Mortimer new puppet king he could use to rule for another 18 years or that he would be deposed like his father had been and killed in favor of Mortimer's own (potential) son with Isabella.
    On the night of Edwards coup he was staying in Nottingham with his mother. While there Edwards supporters were barred from Nottingham castle and the castle guards were ordered not to obey Edwards commands (Mortimer was inside the castle, Edward and Isabella were staying elsewhere in the city). The kings supporters left the city in a very public huff but then secretly re-entered the city later that night. Edward and his friends then moved against Mortimer, entering the castle via a secret entrance in the castle using a key obtained from his mother. Mortimer was caught completely off guard and arrested.

    It’s funny how many medieval battles are just ‘they ran at each other’. Like, Bannock Burn is such a master class of a battle with its twists and turns and surprises, then there’s Halidon Hill which is just a ‘run at them and try not to die’ strategy. Still, I love the smaller battles that aren’t as often discussed, and HistoryMarche is my favorite place to go for them. Keep up the good work!

    • @nvelsen1975

      Things were highly decentralised at the time. There was no unified training in signals or such. As a result any noble could basically only command their own troops or those in hearing range.
      Higher level tactics are almost impossible then, unless a pre-determined battleplan is executed by each noble, but that would be incredibly rigid AND require the nobles to actually cooperate. And would they? A lot of these guys never met eachother or once every X years and only showed up if their lord / king summoned them.

      ​​@@robert-surcoufYou've got to understand the context. France was like the medieval version of the USA, it was a super rich kingdom with the best trained knights in Europe. When Edward III invaded France, England was like Mexico, it was smaller, poorer and didn't have the knights France did and yet he managed to win fights with the French that sent shockwaves across Europe. He began a war that would see English occupation of French territory for the next 116 years. Regardless of the failures later in his reign, his overall kingship was successful.

      @@FranceIsPropertyofEngland If you talk about France until 1314, it was indeed the kingdom with the second biggest population in europe behing the holy roman empire, was indeed rich with many knights but it wasn't a unified kingdom between the king and the nobles outside the royal domain like the revolt of flanders in the 1290-1300's or in 1328 and the war of guyenne between 1294 and 1297 and later the war of saint sardos in 1324.
      The royal power had a quick decline after Philippe 4's death in 1314 with all his 3 sons and 1 grandson dying quickly between 1314 and 1328 and the new Valois dynasty had to build his own reputation and power when Philippe 6 took the throne.
      For England itself, it was a united kingdom, the most populous kingdom after the HRE and France and its closeness with Flanders wich was the wealthiest place in europe with northern italy helped his own economy so England wasn't at the same scale as the HRE and France and was indeed smaller in population and poorer but it was definitely not a third rate country in europe.
      The reason why Edward 3 was able to win so many battles between the early 1330's and Poitiers in 1356 is simply because he used new tactics which focused more on archery than mounted knights, while the latter was the standard in europe in the last centuries and was also used by england until the 1320's.
      Edward 3 indeed had a great run until Poitiers and conquered Calais which will stay in england's hand until 1558 but for everything else, he had the upped hand in 1358 with Jean 2 as prisoner and the first treaty of London but became too greedy with the second treaty of London and in the end, was forced to sigh the treaty of Brétigny that gave him all the old aquitaine in 1360 but lost everything in the next 17 years and when he died in 1377, only Bayonne, Bordeaux and Calais remained in his hands while everything else was taken back by Charles 5 unlike in 1337 when he had all the Guyenne.
      His reign could be viewed as amazing if we stopped it in 1356 (or 1359 with the second treaty of London) but in the end, his last two decades means he ended with less lands in 1377 than in 1327 and with a ruined kingdom that could be explained by his inability to evolve his own tactics after Poitiers, his inability to protect the lands owned after Brétigny from his own mercenaries after the disaster from Castile, his decision to made english the official language in 1361 that antagonize him his new subjects in Aquitaine and his political loss against Charles 5.
      In the end, Edward 3 could be viewed as a good king overall but not in the same league as Henry 1 or Edward 1 who both didn't 40% of their reign being on the losing side.

      It got worse, the remaining Scottish field army effectively went into the service of the French king in the Hundred Years War and functionally ceased to exist after the Battle of Verneuil, where the Scottish king David II was killed on the field less than a hundred years later. It also wasn't the only military catastrophe in Scottish history, nor the last time a Scottish king was killed on the field of battle. That would be King James IV of Scotland who died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Scottish military history is indeed very sad, same with Ireland.

      However we can say with total certainty that he wasn't killed in that way, based on what we do know about the events, and we really know a good deal through contemporary documents, writs, records and chronicles.
      The fact that nobody alive today was "there" can hardly be used as an argument. Otherwise we could also speculate that maybe the battle of Halidon Hill didn't happen in 1333, or the first world war didn't happen at all... because none of us were there. That way lies madness.
      But I get your point, don't worry, usually one should be very careful when stating that something is "100 % certain". But this is one of the rare cases that I can say so with absolute certainty, based on several books I've read.
