No way they got Sean F’ing Bean to narrate this! Absolutely amazing!!!
And he didn't die!
He played Ned Stark
I've been binging on Chronicle all day but this is the one that earned my Sub.
Sean Bean, Baromir...the voice!
Bravo 🤘
Hey babe, new Chronicle just dropped. Holy crap, a celebrity narrator.😊
I was like, "Wait, Ned Stark, is that you?!" 😆
My absolute favorite place on the internet is here with Chronicle!
Have you thought about getting off yer bum and actually seeing and experiencing the real world…?
Commenting about actual Men and their virtues from a keyboard is quite sad.
But,that’s something that only you a change.
Now,
Stop pissin’ about and get on with it.
Try point hub
Try poorn hub*
They got Ned Stark to do the voice over 🤌
Knight Stark?
And he didn't die
Immerse yourself in the exciting and sometimes dangerous world of mediaeval battle in this gripping video. The courage and horror of these events are vividly brought to life by the historical insights and detailed descriptions offered here. Great job on the interesting and well-written analysis of this period in medieval history!
So cool to have Bilbo Baggins narrating!
no, Boromir ... actor Sean Bean.
Excellent short treatment of amor and fighting during a brief period of history.
One does not simply put on a suit of armor and walk into Mordor.
Speaks to his performance that despite only being in one season, we all knew exactly who it was.
Sharps drawl, splendid indeed!
Ned? Is that you?
Is that narrated by Sean Bean..?
He's like Morgan Freeman, he could read the ingredients off of grocery products and you'd still sit and listen.
David Attenborough too.
@@Soonergriff26 Attenborough is so damn overrated. His voice is so damn annoying compared to smoothness of someone like Sean Bean
I unavoidably recommend Schwerpunkt's arms&armor and also Medieval violence playlists on the topic
Yes yeah definitely
Sean, m'boy, Is that you? Here's hoping they don't kill you in the first season/movie!
He is Breaking The 1st Rule of FIGHT CLUB 😮
Wear rubber gloves?
Pretty sure the narrator is Sean Bean. It sure sounds a heck of a lot like him.
Although admittedly, having celebrities as narrators - particularly those with eloquent voices - makes sense from a logical point of view, as well as it is to be expected as such: given you're probably substantially more likely to remember said information & the source from which it was obtained with a familiar voice disseminating the information/stories.
Speaking only from my own personal experiences as a combat veteran, amateur boxer, and amateur mma fighter I don't and didn't obsess too greatly about a fight right before the fight. All of the fear was generally worked through during training and my primary anxiety was to just get on with it, more like a racehorse at the gate that's anxious to start racing than anything else.
Dude does this channel make these for TH-cam or are these on tv documentaries?
They're uploads of older documentaries. This one of part of a 4 part series called "Fight Club: A History of Violence". It's from 2012.
And the ladies just sat around drinking and eating sweet reads waiting for it to end Testosterone once again doing the talking.😄
Imagine the carnage and the horror of the warfare then face to face in these suits trying to bash or slash or stab your opponent, when will man stop fighting and unite together to help one another?
Imagine the carnage and horror of the 99% who couldn't afford armor and were forced to go up against and be slashed/cut down by tanky aristocrats.
@@worstvlogever9324 no doubt, it was pitiful to be a peasant. Your life was considered disposable.
@@albertenriquecrowleybeastc217nothing has changed.
Samurai interest me more than European Knights. The Samurai's armor is much more complex in how it was constructed. The face masks also was believed to hold special powers for the Samurai who wore it. I find the idea of Bushido very interesting. The Samurai could be very brutal to civilians though that they protected.
ok weeb
The narrator is Sean Bean!?!? His voice, just fits the theme of this documentary so perfectly.
🤺I’ll fight! For Ireland
Well made armor was like driving a Ferrari today
Fear is a good thing, i makes u ,feel alive ..ask any real warrior ....
Talk about hoarding…omg. How many pieces of stuff. I am agog.
Is this the same narrator as civ 6?
😪 the difference is I'm keeping you and I don't have relationship structure anxiety and life problems
As a real historian myself, i must say that I really enjoy your videos and content. However, I must correct a vital mistake... your timing is inaccurate. You kept talking about the late 1400s, but you actually meant the late 14th century (which is actually the 1300s) its a common mistake and i understand why you made it but historical context is important in this case, because in the early 1400s they already developed, cannons, hand guns and crossbows, all of which were capable of penatrating even the strongest armors and thus by the mid 1400s like 1450, plate armor was considered obsolete and was replaced by mass levied standing armies armed with pikes, crossbows and guns which was way cheaper and more efficient than heavy plated armored knights that were killed instantly by a peasant with a gun or crossbow...in the future make sure you get the timeline accurate or it looks bad on your research skills and on your video overall. I know you are historians, too, and that research is hard, but this is a serious mistake, and it's still possible for historias to be wrong or inaccurate. My sources are available upon request.
Not to mention that also, you mentioned tudor England in Tudor England in the 1480s, tournaments were illegal, thus providing further evidence that you actually meant the 14th century (1300s) because tournaments were still legal and not banned. Also there were NO gun proof armor like you implied. While some did deflect indirectly, a direct shot was guaranteed to go through and kill.
What did a knight do when he had to go potty?
Well, not all guns were powerful enough to reliably pierce armor that was meant to repell gun shot. There are many examples of armor that displays major denting but not pierced. Your "point" is well taken. I'd be afraid of pikes, crossbows, and longbows for sure. Guns of that day weren't that reliable.
As a medieval social historian, i think about the difference between the 14th century & 1400s (i haven’t watched yet, i always scan comments first to either skip or brace myself for inaccuracy), my mind goes straight to the plague.
The years after 1347 saw tremendous social upheaval, weakening the feudal system itself. It changed how & where people lived, traveled & married. It effected every aspect of life down to a beginning undercurrent of loss if faith in the all powerful church (not God, necessarily, but the institution that failed many when the plague was at its height). It’s also the difference between knowing the “new world” exists.
It DOES make a difference. If someone says 19th century in describing the birth of the internet & mass communication- it would matter. It would be flat out wrong.
Every decade is different. It’s influence by the events of the previous generation as well as whatever is happening in their own lives.
It shouldn’t be lumped together. Even fashion changed every generation because teenage girls don’t want to dress like their grandmas. The changes aren’t as dramatic as they became once mass production of clothing became available but styles were constantly changing & rotating. Things that were out of fashion would return, possibly because they were relatively easy to obtain, likely because of nostalgia just as fashion cycles happen today.
We don’t know everything, especially about cultures who didn’t keep written records (or whos’s records were destroyed by invading Europeans). In Europe we have a lot of information but not as much on the average citizen as we’d like. We have a responsibility to be as accurate as possible when presenting information to the public.
I think you’re a little too kind. The production had researchers, writers, narration, editors, at least one producer & a director. SOMEONE should have caught it. It is an easy mistake, whether out if confusion (the American education system is experienced didn’t really discuss it) or as a verbal slip by myself or someone who is very familiar with history. But we can’t keep excusing factual errors & mistakes in material that may be the only source of knowledge on a subject for a lot of people, particularly when they have multiple stages where things can be caught & corrected before “publication”.
Never second guess Ned Stark.
Is Sean Bean (Eddard (Ned) Stark in Game of Thrones) narrating this?! If not, it sounds like him.
Not to mention that also, you mentioned tudor England in Tudor England in the 1480s, tournaments were illegal, thus providing further evidence that you actually meant the 14th century (1300s) because tournaments were still legal and not banned. Also there were NO gun proof armor like you implied. While some did deflect indirectly, a direct shot was guaranteed to go through and kill.
No it wasnt. Armors were often proofed against balls. Nothing is guaranteed
Sean Bean? What are you doing here??
The Tudor Knight, The Middle Ages, does no one else see the incongruity in the opening statement?
Well, that was a waste of time. While they showed a number of armor pieces they somehow never actually covered the actual workings of a tournament, the weapons facing the knights, or much of anything about lordship.
I had fun during those times. There were some legendary knights back then; men worth eating. I am Vampyr. I am The NashVillain
Winter is coming 🗡️
This has to be narrated by Sean Bean!
Fighting under a metal exoskeleton isn't a good idea if it's raining and lightning. Fighting at night in armor with the helmet's visor closed would be impossible. What is apparently impregnable in a normal situation in another situation increases the soldier's vulnerability. No army of armored knights could bear to fight after the wind carried the smoke of many burning pepper trees to their position.
If Sean survives that'll be soldiering.
They got Ned stark narrating 😅 yooooooo
It's sad that probably better athletes were not able to participate because they were born peasants.
They were probably under fed and not very athletic to begin with. It was very much appreciated if the under classes could "buy" their way out of military service. Buying mercs was much more desirable than sending your untrained tax payers to be slaughtered by professional soldiers.
Come on ! It`s not about " deadly job of knights " , it`s about armory . Sucks !! Click bait .
BORE'N,VERYBORING!👎
The historical and factual accuracy seems to have given way to celebrity narrators. Chronicle seems to be loosing it a bit and trying to be woke. Men and women in battle!!!
Bro shut up. The narrator is reading a script the actual science is fine. Women did in fact occasionally fight
@@jameshaws9986 perhaps you should shut up as you didn’t understand.
@@JohnJames-be4qe perhaps you should take your politics to a different channel
@@jameshaws9986 you don’t know politics so perhaps you should shut up.
Its funny how the bible predicted this centuries before this....
Sean bean is the narrator
