my mother's side were Huguenots who fled France and arrived in South Africa's Cape in 1688. Though they quickly assimilated into Afrikaner culture and language. When I was young and visited my mother's family in the western Cape in the 70's I vividly remember my grandmother leading me to a cemetery showing the ancestors graves. Virtually all the last names on the gravestones were French. She was a Malan, and the names of Afrikaners that were married into the family included Lagrange, Terreblanche, Laroux, Malherbe and Duval. She told me the Afrikaners of Huguenot ancestry, even though they lost their language still retained pride in their Huguenot ancestry and made an effort to marry other Afrikaners of Huguenot background.
Great series and even better documentary, keep up the awesome work! One question though were the French setting up colonies during the wars of Religion?
Great video. I cannot yet have my own bank account, but as soon as I do I am subscribing to the Patreon. Hope you continue making videos of such high quality - maybe something in Poland / Lithuania ? - cool mix between Pike and Shot and the “Medieval” style of combat
Both of my parents ancestors were French Huguenots. I know that they were seen as the Protestants and original were I'Eglise Reformee. When my fathers side left France they went to Holland and joined up with The Dutch Reformed church. My Mothers side left France and went to England then to Virginia first landing of Huguenots in 1699-1700. But the English made them walk 25 miles up river to occupy a supposedly a deserted Monacan Indian village? Which I believe they forced the Monacans to leave that area. Because the English had already wanted them out of England and they didn't want them in Williamsburg either because they were mostly trade people and Silversmiths and seamstress and trades people. My Father side went too The New Amsterdam (New York area) in 1670's. I'm so proud of my heritage and I carry the Huguenot emblem on my back window of my SUV and I'm a member of The Manakin Huguenots of Va. But thanks for the History here, Avec amour `a tous Huguenots!
Great video. Too many of these history channels all cover the same subjects (90% Roman, ERE/Byzantine, Ottoman and Mongol events). Amazing how many times each side’s leaders snapped defeat from the jaws of victory. Navarre and Henry Guise seem like they were only the good leaders with Navarre being by far the best.
Why did both sides rely so heavily on foreign recruits/mercenaries? I'm pretty sure France had one of the largest populations in Europe. I understand Germany and the Swiss had developed unique types of infantry that became effective and sought after, but couldn't these fighting types be outfitted with French men?
That's the norm for those days, even Moscovy hired Kalmyks and Cossacks for their war against Poland, Tatars and Ottomans dispite their tendency to mass conscript peasant into foot soldiers. Mercenaries from Swiss and HRE were expensive but they're professionals while conscripting French population would took longer time and long term planning, something that the French nobility didn't have patiance for. Sorry for my english, i dont use auto correct since i hate it.

@@ingold1470 France wasn't a theocracy. Secular and religious offices were separate. Although, the King of France had control over many clerical appointments in France so make no mistake why a protestant king was a touchy subject.

Hey, if you make a series about the history of European Protestantism, don't forget to make an episode about the history of Protestantism in Transylvania and the Freedom of Religion from the 1540's till the Habsburg conquest in 1690. So many Christian churches lived in peace in Transylvania, thanks to the World's first law of the Freedom of Religion from 1568: - Catholics, - Lutherans, - Calvinists, - Unitarians, - Sabbatarians, - Anabaptists (Hutterites), - Orthodoxes.
I'll certainly make a documentary about Transylvania - just for the sake of my princely ancestors! But I'll probably do it within the context of a "History of Hungary"series. Don't ask me when.
Maybe that's because of Ottomans at that time became overlord to most of Hungarians and Transylvania itself? Despite their outragous practices of kidnapping Christian boys for Jannisary but they do tolerate different religions given they payed their taxes well. If all of Hungarian crown land including Transylvania fall to Habsburgs earlier wouldnt that hard to practice such religious tolerance given Habsburgs were staunchly catholic?
Dear Pike and Shot: Would you be kind enough to share with us the name of the gorgeous lute piece watch appears at the end of your excellent video? And also the name of the musician? Or perhaps a link to the performance? Many thanks.
I visited Zurich and Berne a few months ago and spent days in their national museums which featured great exhibits with explanations of the swiss mercenaries and their historical contributions to european medieval and reformation era warfare. check it out when you go there
one minor thing, when listening to your video, the sound effect you used to crossout your characters in the beginning kept making me check for security alerts on windows. Seems good so far.
To get a good idea of how Gracious the French Catholics were to the Protestants, read The Edict of Nantes. the French original is a tad more hateful than the English translation. Edite de Nantes 1598 issued by Henri IV. Celebrated as a great example of French Catholic tolerance.
@@chourtout "Paris is worth a Mass". Yes, he was a protestant at heart, but he had to word The Edict of Nantes to be hateful to be able to issue it at all.
Wonderful. I am betting there was no time or money to discuss the logistics difficulties of logistics and shrinking populations. I'm long retired, can't give much. I assume there is a Patreon page. I'm in.
It was the 3rd deadliest war over Christianity, number 1 would be Taiping Rebellion which claimed 20-30 million lives (2) Thirty Years War 8-12 million lives.
@@kirilelinov177 Well they do believe in Christ and are followers Christ and hong, they can be considered Christian or Christian hybrid, like the Mormons
@@kirilelinov177 Nope there many Christians that don't believe in the Trinity. Christians means follower of Christ. But does not simply state that he is highest. Jehovah Witness are considered Christians, because they follow Christ, but they believe that the father (Jehovah) is the most high
Something I don't understand is that how did these religious movements like Calvanism or other Protestant groups become so popular so far, or rather why were the Catholics not able to stop people from wanting to convert?
Did anyone notice that in Poland the nobility chose the king in nprocess called "free election"? He was de facto only a life-long president with very restricted powers and no dynasty line continuity after his death. In the same way he become Grand Duke of Lithuania. Elitarian democracy was the key for final demise of the Commonwealth while other countries were ruled by skilled dynasties.
Very good, however I have some reserve about the statement you make at 54:01. "Catherine de Medicis, the King and the Guises conspired to finish Coligny." Where did you get that? My understanding is that it is still a hjottely debated issue. And there are many conflicting analyses of the events. To make a parallel look at the investigation of the events on Jan 6... now we are talking about events that happened 6 centuries ago, with no record and within a day. The King look at Coligny as a father, and Catherine just married her daughter to the head of the Huguenots. The whole thing doesn't make much sense.
Really enjoyed this one you are a legend! My only complaint is talking about Marx around 1:36 or so “the war begins” as we all know Marx was not yet alive or capital as we know it today so it kinda makes me wonder if everything else is correct although I know it was just some Humor lol and hey what were the English doing at this time? Thanks again for your efforts of enlightening engaging entertainment
@@pikeshotBattles One more question. What was the ideology of the two sides? For example the German peasant war is often described as a protestant uprising against catholic lords, when in reality it obv had economic equality and political (anti tyranny) connotations aswell. Was there something like this here too?
@@incursus1401 both sides were commanded by nobles. It wasn't a war of political ideology, though the events of the war caused people to change how they thought about government and society (i.e. questions like "is it ever right to fight against one's own king?" "Should the Estates General be able to make binding decisions?" etc.)
Dear God... who put in charge Montmorency? that was an invitation to disaster the guy was a magnet for enemies, he didn't caught the meaning in the first battle and surely he wasn't lucky for the second.

Hey, if you make a series about the history of European Protestantism, don't forget to make an episode about the history of Protestantism in Transylvania and the Freedom of Religion from the 1540's till the Habsburg conquest in 1690.
So many Christian churches lived in peace in Transylvania, thanks to the World's first law of the Freedom of Religion from 1568:
- Catholics,
- Lutherans,
- Calvinists,
- Unitarians,
- Sabbatarians,
- Anabaptists (Hutterites),
- Orthodoxes.
I'll certainly make a documentary about Transylvania - just for the sake of my princely ancestors! But I'll probably do it within the context of a "History of Hungary"series. Don't ask me when.
@@pikeshotBattles Thanks
Maybe that's because of Ottomans at that time became overlord to most of Hungarians and Transylvania itself? Despite their outragous practices of kidnapping Christian boys for Jannisary but they do tolerate different religions given they payed their taxes well. If all of Hungarian crown land including Transylvania fall to Habsburgs earlier wouldnt that hard to practice such religious tolerance given Habsburgs were staunchly catholic?

I visited Zurich and Berne a few months ago and spent days in their national museums which featured great exhibits with explanations of the swiss mercenaries and their historical contributions to european medieval and reformation era warfare.
check it out when you go there
one minor thing, when listening to your video, the sound effect you used to crossout your characters in the beginning kept making me check for security alerts on windows. Seems good so far.

To get a good idea of how Gracious the French Catholics were to the Protestants, read The Edict of Nantes. the French original is a tad more hateful than the English translation. Edite de Nantes 1598 issued by Henri IV. Celebrated as a great example of French Catholic tolerance.
hello there Edwin and anyone else that sees this comment jesus loves you and repent of your sins so you can inherit God's kingdom
Henri IV was a protestant himself
@@chourtout "Paris is worth a Mass". Yes, he was a protestant at heart, but he had to word The Edict of Nantes to be hateful to be able to issue it at all.
Wonderful. I am betting there was no time or money to discuss the logistics difficulties of logistics and shrinking populations. I'm long retired, can't give much. I assume there is a Patreon page. I'm in.
It may just be my upbringing, but even though I'm an atheist I always find myself unconsciously rooting for the catholics.
The Catholic Faith is true, good and beautiful. It calls on the better part of human nature

@@kirilelinov177 Well they do believe in Christ and are followers Christ and hong, they can be considered Christian or Christian hybrid, like the Mormons
@@kirilelinov177 Nope there many Christians that don't believe in the Trinity. Christians means follower of Christ. But does not simply state that he is highest. Jehovah Witness are considered Christians, because they follow Christ, but they believe that the father (Jehovah) is the most high

Something I don't understand is that how did these religious movements like Calvanism or other Protestant groups become so popular so far, or rather why were the Catholics not able to stop people from wanting to convert?
Satan. Same reason Communism spread fast.

Did anyone notice that in Poland the nobility chose the king in nprocess called "free election"? He was de facto only a life-long president with very restricted powers and no dynasty line continuity after his death. In the same way he become Grand Duke of Lithuania. Elitarian democracy was the key for final demise of the Commonwealth while other countries were ruled by skilled dynasties.

@@joshuarodriguez3025 Thank you, Joshua. I am a Christian too. :)
Very good, however I have some reserve about the statement you make at 54:01.
"Catherine de Medicis, the King and the Guises conspired to finish Coligny." Where did you get that? My understanding is that it is still a hjottely debated issue. And there are many conflicting analyses of the events. To make a parallel look at the investigation of the events on Jan 6... now we are talking about events that happened 6 centuries ago, with no record and within a day. The King look at Coligny as a father, and Catherine just married her daughter to the head of the Huguenots. The whole thing doesn't make much sense.

Really enjoyed this one you are a legend! My only complaint is talking about Marx around 1:36 or so “the war begins” as we all know Marx was not yet alive or capital as we know it today so it kinda makes me wonder if everything else is correct although I know it was just some Humor lol and hey what were the English doing at this time?

@@pikeshotBattles One more question. What was the ideology of the two sides? For example the German peasant war is often described as a protestant uprising against catholic lords, when in reality it obv had economic equality and political (anti tyranny) connotations aswell. Was there something like this here too?
@@incursus1401 both sides were commanded by nobles. It wasn't a war of political ideology, though the events of the war caused people to change how they thought about government and society (i.e. questions like "is it ever right to fight against one's own king?" "Should the Estates General be able to make binding decisions?" etc.)
