![The Battle of Agincourt | Unravelling a Most Famous Victory | Hundred Years War [Episode 14]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vnpcd-HX5FE/mqdefault.jpg)
Sorry for wrong title guys!
My usual response to your joke can be summed up as 🙄 😏
Hope you react to the second part, which is going to be about the actually Agincourt battle, this was the siege that happened before Agincourt battle.
The battle of Agincourt occurred only a few weeks after the seige of Harfleur on 25 October 1415. The events of the seige greatly influenced what happened in the later battle.
The population of England at this point was 2 million, the population of France was 11 million.
WW1 was the first war in recorded history where battle casualties outnumbered deaths from disease.
Do the Hundred Years’ War series by kings and generals, it goes into more detail on the war as a whole
If you meant "on English victories" rather than "on the war as a whole" I would agree. The series is very biased.
@CHRISTIAN KNIGHT England lost the hundred years war against France...I've met a few Brits who thought otherwise (as you it seems). Don't they teach you actual history there ?
He should wait for the release of the full episode. Many things that are missing in the series will be added in the full episode.
@@lahire4943 We've been waiting for a long time now....
@@LightxHeaven
Yes I know, someone had told me it was going to be released at the beginning of 2022 but now another one talked about the end of 2022. But whatever the date, they said themselves they were going to do a full episode with many things added.
10:04 that's why the Coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons is called Wile E. Coyote.
The thing that gets forgotten in our post 1066 history is that England was an occupied French colony with a French ruling class. That’s why we had so many wars with “France” that were really French wars of succession and family feuds. Some kings of England didn’t even come to England that often let alone e speak English.
Norman ruling class not French. They are different peoples who speak very similar but different languages. The Norman people are Norse descendants not french or Frankish
To answer your question, this is the same campaign, the harfleur seige is the battle before agincourt
The same kind of thing happened in WW1, with some British soldiers referred to as ‘Clay Kickers’ who dug tunnels to place explosives under the German lines. Sometimes German counter tunnels would lead to soldiers fighting with knives in a tiny dark hole.
Bretons (Brittany) are descended in part from Britons, specifically the Welsh, whose form of Gallic is strongly tied to Breton Gallic. They emigrated to that part of France from about the 4th century onwards. The main leader/instigator of the immigrant Welsh was a man with the unlikely name of, Conan Meriadoc. Wouldn't be surprised to hear if Tolkien took the name from there. Gondolf/Gandalf was a real historical figure. Architect of William the Conqueror, he built The Two Towers. Tower of London and Rochester, two of William's most important fortresses.
Been keeping a sort of journal/travelogue on Facebook. You want to know what the British are really like? Have a look. There's a good cross section of real Britain. Can talk there if you like. Be aware, I'm pretty candid in my opinions and pretty far from orthodox (story of my life, lol).
Tod's workshop has great videos on the arms used in medieval warfare, especially english longbows.
Arrows vs Armor, medieval myth busting.
Thats a great one. He makes the weapons himself.
Check it out!
Forgot to add: its a precise recreation of the arrows, longbow and armor in use at Agincourt
Yeah but the men of Agincourt were far more skillful and stronger.
the french flag was mostly white (with yellow flower pattern), that's why things look confusing sometimes
Kenneth Branagh's version of the Shakespeare play "Henry V" is worth watching. The field battle after the fall of Harfleur ... went wrong on every level for the French. In the US Civil War, over half the men died from illness, not battle. People believed that churches were safe (holy sanctuary). This was a two part video, the climax is in the second part ;-) The title you have is from the second part, but the film is from the first part ;-(
"I tell thee truly herald, I know not if the day be ours or no".
Crécy sounds like "Cray-see".
Brittiany - During the time of the saxons, angles and Jutes taking over what at the time was Briton - many Britons moved to an area in France that became known as Brittiany - These Britons became known as "Bretons". While much of Briton become under the control over of the Saxons, Angles, Jutes - who called themselves Engel (Engle?) - hence England - land of the Engel. Anglo being a Roman word to describe the Saxons, Engels and Jutes, These tribe where considered tall and fair - hence angles - hence Anglo.
Actually people from cornwall and wales settled Britney..Hence why they were known as the Bretons
6:40 The Bretons of Brittany originally came from Britain (fleeing the invading Germanic Anglo-Saxons ) later collectively known as English.The Breton language (still spoken) is linked closely to Cornish and Welsh.
The language is Brethonic and the name of Brittany is not connected with the Roman name of Britannia, from which Britain takes its name.
@@stewartmackay Yes,I know that the language was Brythonic.The name Britannia was the Latin take on the native Britons' name for Britain - which doubtless would've sounded similar. To get an idea of how this name would've sounded ,one can look at modern day Welsh - the direct linguistic inheritor of Brythonic -once spoken throughout Britain,and Latin - a legacy of the Roman occupation. The Welsh name for Britain is 'Prydain' - pronounced 'Prud - ine'.
I know all of the above information because Welsh is my mother tongue.
@@cymro6537 Thank you for the information, much apreciated.
@@stewartmackay Croeso (you're welcome)😊
Back to history 👏♥️
This was more a pre amble to set the scene of what was to come at Agincourt. It is interesting as to how it reduced in number Henry’s troop numbers and slowed the intended invasions momentum ironic with the latest Ukraine situation. It meant disease was now a problem for the invading army.confidence must have been low too.
Flammable arrows were not commonly used but they were used for purposes such as setting fire to enemy buildings or settlements.
They were not used on Infantry targets due to them being highly inaccurate.
Edit: Also to answer your question I do not believe citizens were moved to the back or community centre however siege battles are not my strong suit,all I know is that from my sources and historical records of sieges and battles is that civilians were not moved anywhere.
Ancestors in that war, maybe in that battle ... including archery. Crecy was the earlier battle, and then Poitiers (both starring the Black Prince). Then came Agincourt ... and then came St Joan of Arc. At the start, see that tip of land to the left, outside the city of Harfleur ... that is one of the places my last name came from ... "de Branche". I can use Google Earth to zoom down to the stone church there ... the next king, one of the sons of the Mad Charles ... was uncrowned until St Joan of Arc saved his filet mignon. A "crown" in England was equal to 5 shillings, a shilling being equal to a US silver quarter in 1964. Silver is now worth 20x times what is was in 1964. So 1 million crowns in current silver money works out to 250,000 x 20 = $5 million, less than what this film claims, but a gold crown would have a higher evaluation, since the value of gold vs silver has gone up since then.
I saw somewhere - I think in the book Napoleon vs Russia - that in the Napoleonic Wars the ratio of battlefield deaths to off-battlefield deaths from disease, starvation and other causes was eleven to one in favour of other causes. Think of the Russian campaign; the battle of Borodino was the largest in terms of casualties (there were several others though) and vastly more of the French and allied troops died from other causes than in that battle.
As for civilians, it's certainly true that defenders took account of their situation. Many times there are examples of negotiations between besieger and besieged on how and under what conditions the civilians would be allowed to leave. Though there's at least one occasion during the 100YW where the defenders forced the citizens to leave, and the English besiegers refused to allow them to cross the siege lines so they were left starving outside the city walls.
There's one story from the wars in Italy where a besieging commander agreed to allow women and children to leave freely, carrying one item that was precious to them, but any men who wished to leave with them had to pay a ransom. Supposedly many of the women left carrying their husbands. Apparently much to the amusement of the mercenary commander of the besiegers, who wouldn't allow his soldiers to harass them and even gave them supplies to reach the next town where they'd be safe. Apparently he also massacred the garrison after his men stormed the town too.
Henry V St Crispin's day pre-battle speech. Kenneth Branagh. Here on TH-cam. Best Battle speech...EVER !
A white flag means you are not fighting.
It has historically primarily been used by emissaries and diplomats approaching to negotiate. They need to have a symbol that can be seen from far away, and easily understood as - we are not here to fight / we want to talk, please don't shoot us.
Armies surrendering is in a way the same - raising the white flag to signal that they won't fight anymore, but instead discuss the terms of surrender.
I've wild camped/slept on this battlefield in the course of my travels (bicycle tours, which I'm currently on now. Set off from London on May 5th. Cycled from Scarborough today, wild camping in Bossall and York is about 9 miles away. Easy ride for tomorrow) along with many others across Britain and Europe. Also there were Holders at the battle of Agincourt. BTW, Agincourt is pronounced Agincore. Crecy is pronounced Kressy. The other great battle won by archers of the hundred years war was Poitiers. Pronounced, Pwatyair.
Men at arms are knights or persons with full amour plus a horse
the white flag mean that you come friendly to talk with your opponent. For example, when you want to give a message to the opponents head, you send a delegation waving the white flag in order to be able to approach the ennemey defense.
Archery practice was compulsory at this time
are you starting a the 100 ears war on kings and generals?- If so, Hyped!
Brittany was colonized by Roman Britains after the end of the Roman Empire, partly to escape the Anglo-Saxons moving in from the East. Part of the folk wanderings.
The longbow devastated the French Knights with showers and showers of arrows. Their horses got bogged down in the muddy field and this made them easy targets. Once they fell off their horses the live ones could not get back on due to their heavy armour and the English and Welsh troops killed them on the ground. This battle alone nearly obliterated the French nobility.
Guess you didn't watch the video, did you? xD
This happened long before The Siege of Vienna.
Part 1 was the prelude to battle, part 2 is the Battle of Agincourt (with the archers.)
You have to remember that germ theory was still a few hundred years off at this point. Most military campaigns really up until the mid 20th century normally had vastly more deaths and disablements from disease than from combat. The birth of modern battlefield medicine (or treatment for diseases for active soldiers at least) was during the Crimean war 1853 to 1856.
Britons that fled from Roman and later Saxon invasions settled in what is now modern France , Brittony was named after the Britons that had settled there ....
agincourt, definitely in the second vid, and that's where the English archers helped win the battle
Actually the majority of the archers were Welsh
@@richardwest6358 even better 😅
There’s plenty on Curiosity Stream I haven’t seen on TH-cam. It’s so cheap, best but if money I’ve spent in a long time.
this is not the battle of agincourt this is the siege of harfleur the battle of Agincourt occurred a few weeks latter
"Historian Mike Loades Debunks 'The Agincourt Myth'" ... is more about fact than story.
We need part 2 of 2
"Brittany" is where the Bretons are from which come from an old Celtic tribe which speak a language which is similar to Cornish in England( where I'm from)and Welsh. Cornwall is known as the "land of the saints" because so many of our place names have " St" in front eg, St. Ives, St. Day, St. Austell, St. Just and so many more which are all named after Catholic Saints from Brittany, Cornwall, Wales, Ireland and Devon the next English County along. Worth a read up yourself because its unlikely you'll find a video about it.
@CHRISTIAN KNIGHT as a Cornishman the language is called Kernowek, now grow up. Cheers
The Franco-Prussian war was the first recorded where more soldiers were killed than died of disease IIRC. However, since then we have got exponentially better at killing many soldiers so the grand total could go either way.
A white flag can mean a truce to discuss terms of surrender or to request an enemy simply not fight for a time.
YT clips are why you're still asking questions about Yes, [Prime] Minister, 6 months later. /jk
It's not SandRhoman but I'll take it :) Nice to see the history that didn't make the movies getting the attention it deserves.
Longbow goes pew pew.
O for a muse of fire that would ascend/The brightest heaven of invention
You should watch Laurence Olivier’s film of Henry V, made during the Second World War. Or Kennet Branagh’s more recent version which is also very good.
Pls do part 2
Does he know what a longbow is? This was the difference. Simple.
Because it’s French for “Agincourt” you don’t pronounce the t at the end
Do you not have wily coyote in the states?
The film Henry V, 1944, on the WW Movie Clips channel has a great portrayal of the battle, I would like to see you react to that.
Your question about laughing at your jokes.
I do enjoy what you add to videos, thats why i follow your channel
About the women.
I suppose they were needed to cook and tend to the wounded as well as boosting morale
It isn't the Battle of Agincourt that's why :D
Next video is.
I love this stuff I did my dna and found that i have only two areas in France that my dna thats 77% Midlands, northern England with the rest made up from Norway Sweden Iceland and bit of Scotland is still located Harfleur and calais, also finding out my name had changed spelling from Ryley to Riley I searched the list of the Army that Henry V raised for this campaign and 4 Archers with the name Ryley were listed so I am guessing my family were in this endeavour. Ryley is a Lancashire Name and have dna relatives there to this day so i know my Rose colour lol.
The white flag is a flag of truce.
As for the people of the town, your thinking in to much of a modern mind, where you'll have people that care. The knights and professional soldiers at the time where from the nobility, who could not care less for the people, who were peasants and serfs. A dog was worth more to a knight than the people.
The best way I can think of putting it for a modern mind is, think of how much the billionairs, the GOP and the Republican senators care about your life, well they care more now, than back then.
A white flag is a temporary truce, meaning we want to talk, in the talks you can surrender or ask the other side if they wish to. It's been twisted more by Holliwood to mean surrender.
Imagine if you were one of those Norman fisherman or villager when a small English armada turns up. 💩💩💩
