just started watching, and the intro is nicer than in any of your other videos that i've seen, yea give me some rocknroll and not them nerd epic drums and whatnots
This is an older interview that I am just now able to get to and post. I was shocked at what we think of "Chivalry" versus what it actually was. We think of good manners, holding the door for someone and etc, when in reality is was very much about the ability to do extreme violence and to do it well.
Very interesting episode, I'm very impressed with the insight that Dr Nakashian has brought with him; however I must say I am even more impressed with the fact that he is well versed in the arts of teleportation; moving from Chepstow Castle to his bed room mid interview in less than two seconds is indeed a deed that would impress the knights of old.
I saw a video about the excavation of a mass grave from the battle of Towton. The takeaway was that, basically, the soldiers got in a scrum and swung axes at each other, aiming primarily for heads. I am SO glad to know there was a code of etiquette for such activities! I thought 'nightly violence' was what happened when habitual, angry drunks went home after a night at the tavern. With that definition defining current activities, I guess we can say, 'chivalry isn't dead'? LOL! ;-)
Given that knights were mounted shock troops within the feudal power structure and that the rewards for one’s skill in battle, usually for the killing of the greatest number of foes would lead to possible land grants and titles, the knight that has trained in being able to recognize one who could bring even greater rewards by capture rather than killing, would be a greater essential towards an attitude of “Chivalry”. Considering the continuously changing alliances within the French “ nobility”,and how common there were feuds between such devious ,self aggrandizing people, such that one’s ally today was one’s enemy tomorrow. So any knight either needed to be in subjugation to one’s direct lord or to the power of the king. Such situations call for a greater sense of one’s own worth. In many cases, those that trained as knights, within a single household would have also formed closer allegiances to their companions as most military combat groups still do. Such considerations could easily cause conflict if one or more of those companions sided in opposition to one’s own subjugation. Such could be especially acute if one side was for a lord and the other for a king.. this would call for ethical decisions irrespective of one’s training or subjugation. How one would comport oneself becomes what could be called chivalry. While the “ Lords “would also train in the same fashion as the knights, the separation imposed by the feudal class system would also set the knights apart,thus allowing for the creation of knight to knight considerations. Such as treatment should one knight take another prisoner. More especially, if it were during an internal country dispute, as such could change should there come a threat from outside the realm. Lords having an understanding of this might consider this as a code of honor believing that the knights of another king would act towards them as their own knights do. It was such beliefs at Poitiers and at Agincourt that caused the French nobility to foolishly charge into battle against the English that had no such beliefs. Much of that concept was disposed during the war between Empress Maude and king Stephen.
I’m surprised that Prof. Nakashian didn’t explain that the words “chivalry,” “cavalry,” “chevalier,” etc., come from the French word “cheval,” which means “horse.” Only knights and those ranked above them - lords, royalty, et al. - could afford to own and ride horses, especially war horses. Since, in England, the upper classes spoke French (after the Norman conquest), this makes sense.

I can't understate how much I love listening to Dr Nakashian.
This is an older interview that I am just now able to get to and post. I was shocked at what we think of "Chivalry" versus what it actually was.

I loved attending Dr. Nakashian’s classes! Glad to get to learn even more from him now.
Would you consider making an episode about the Syrian states like Mari and Yamhad, or about the Arameans?
Excellent discussion. Reminds me a bit of the fella on Shadiversity.
What a treat, this topic is very interesting.
Best professor i ever had.
I'm very envious of you that had a chance to attend Dr. Nakashian's classes! I adore his "Warrior Churchmen of Medieval England" book.
would love to see some episodes on Hema and Hama groups in the future.
By far my favorite professor in college!
This is amazing content, you guys. I LOVE ancient and medieval history
Awesome information thanks for the channel and mr nakashian
Once again this was great, thanks yall.

This guys is great. I like how he teaches. I would love to find lectures of his
Times of more swords, knifes, daggers, hammers, saws, maces, lances, ball and chains, shields, cross bows, And bow and arrows
Yessssss.

Declarative historical statement:
Recalcitrant sounds:
Coffee mug swagger:
Clarification commentary.
#LovetheManAndhisGift
Sounds like cavalry
Cavalry..... Chivalry..... we can make that work ;)
