Love your content man! You're awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
@@danielsantiagourtado3430you literally took the words right out of my mouth.
Your 100 years war videos are the BEST! Keep up the good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hey Daniel, thanks so much man. 100 years war videos don't perform that well, but I do enjoy making them. The entangled story is crazy good.
@@HistoryMarche Yep! Henry V deserved SO MUCH better. And please consider more reconquista videos!
It’s gonna be a hundred years before Epic History covers it.
@@HistoryMarche Did you think you will do one day Qin Shi Huang unification of China ?
@@robert-surcoufi would totally love to see that since I am interested in him especially since I saw 10 of his terra-cotta warriors in either late 2017 or early 2018 and I didn’t have to go to China to see them as these 10 were on display at the Franklin institute from September 30th 2017 up until march 4th 2018 and I was 🤩 with how an emperor had an entire army made of clay to guard his tomb and back then I didn’t even know anything about the dynasty’s in china that came before the Han dynasty.
Are you going to continue the Hannibal series? It’s a really cool story and I hope you can continue it.
Yes it has been awhile since we had a new episode of that one!
More Hannibal!!!
Edward III was 33 years old at Crecy. You guys have him looking like an old man😊
i am an old man too
He was a heavy smoker
33 is old dude
@@romant7204 I used to think so. Now that I’m 63 someone that age seems like a youngster.

With 95% of the screen time taken up by readings of long-winded loved letters ...
Thank you for the great content.
Great! more 100 years war videos! thanks HM!
Great video! What a fascinating period in history.
If you don’t mind me asking can you do a video on the combat of the thirty which took place during the war of Breton succession and the combat was between 30 English knights and squires and 30 French knights and squires.
excellent as always
edward the 3rd was a real warrior king
one of the most pious and braves monarchs ever
By todays standards he was a war criminal.
@@rexbarron4873the victor writes history
Not in this case after Crecy he burnt and plundered Northern France in an effort to steal as much as he could. Many thousands of French civilians were raped, murdered and dispossed. Imagine Gaza but on a bigger scale.

After the most disastrous battles of the 100 YW, the French would achieve much greater success by avoiding large scale pitched battles at all costs for the rest of the war.
No, there were other pitched battles during the rest of the war.
Only for the period 1369-1389, in a general tactical sense and even then they still fought a couple of bitched battles at La Rochelle, Pontvallain and a few others. A policy that they subsequently abandoned following the resumption of the war in 1415 and the final Lancastrian phase of the conflict; 1415-1453
In other words, they were no good at battles against the English, which is why
they dislike us and we look down on them.
@@nigden1 lol
@@thibaultsardet7399 Smaller pitched battles though. No pitched battles in which the French side would risk their entire army engaging a similar sized force.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool
Great video. Didn’t know much of this campaign before Crecy.
Wished you didn’t use that old Edward III image. Makes you think he was so much older than Philip VI

17:30 - MUCH better to wait a bit, particularly if provisions were low to begin with.
There is a manga taking place at this exact invasion called Hawkwood. Every history nerd out there should check it out. The author took some liberties in depicting a fictional Hawkwood that is already a mercenary commander while the invasion is taking place, but otherwise the invasion route, tactics, politics and even chivalrous culture is depicted extremely well. A shame that it ended after Crecy tho since it was the author’s first manga and he wanted to try something else afterward, but the numerous battles, the Edward v John political play, the Black Prince-Hawkwood dynamic that is similar to Griffith to Guts, the well depicted medieval armory and weaponry are sure elements worthy of checking out. Its not a well known manga, yet none who had read it regretted, so go read it now :)
My mistake the France king is Philip, was a bit occupied while writing this comment.
Thanks for the suggestion, looks great.
the manga also kinda depicted English longbowman as super weapon chads. While it's not wrong that you have to have such strong muscles to use 130 pounds warbows, the hyperbolic looks kinda funny to me hehe
Not reading manga 💀
Don't read it, you'll only be disappointed it was cancelled
More time stamps so we know when this is happening would be nice

I can relate to Ed
He engaged in sort of the medieval version of a leveraged buyout, LBO.
FOR THE ALGORITHM
Edward III was the epitome of fake it to you make it.
Nice
The ironic thing is that the failed campaign and siege of Tournai would mark the nadir of Edward’s fortunes and with the developing Breton civil war and other successful campaigns fought in Gascony in 1345-46 and Crecy of campaign of 1346. Would set Edward abd England in a road to victory that would culminate in 1361 treaty of Bretigny.
Hope that as well as a video on the Crecy campaign, that you will also do one for the generally overlooked Gascony campaign of 1345-46 and how Lancaster’s success there proved very useful in giving Edward free reign in Normandy on his match to Crecy.
@wedgeantillies66 Agree with most but the Bretigny treaty in 1360.
Edward peak had been between 1356 with Poitiers and early 1359 with the 2nd treaty of London.
The treaty of Bretigny was a stepback and was forced to Edward who had a failed chevauchée in 1359-1360 that will end with the black monday and was his first failure since his campaign in 1340.
The treaty of Bretigny was a half success because Edward finally had to give up his claim for the throne, he also had to give up for Normandy, Touraine, Anjou and Maine and only take the 12th century Aquitaine borders and finally a 3 millions gold ransom instead of 4 millions.
@@robert-surcouf I agree that the treaty of Bretigny was a case of Edward settling for less than he could have got in respect of the previous agreed treaty of London.
Though you have to set it within the context of the period, true Edward had just had a failed Chevaunche, but France was descending into chaos and its government under the dauphin was only just staying afloat and Edward needed their consent to get any treaty ratified and even in their darkest days, they would never have ratified that of London.
Plus although he may have promised to renounce his claim to the French throne in Bretigny, because there were certain terms that the French never fulfilled, he never renounced said claim and kept it in his pocket.
@@wedgeantillies66 It's because they had refused the 2nd treaty of London (the first one was signed in the early 1358 and was basically the 2nd one but with only Aquitaine, wich was already more than Bretigny and proved that Bretigny was a loss for Edward).
It's also because the Valois regime was at the lowest (there was the Jacquerie revolt, Etienne Marcel rise and fall who murdered two marshals of france in front of the future Charles 5 and the never ending scheming of Charles of Navarre who was closer and closer to overthrow the Valois dynasty and became the new king of France) that Edward failure was shocking.
His chevauchée was made to forced the parliament to signed the 2nd treaty of London but instead, the future Charles 5 made the strategy that will counter every chevauchées and break the Plantagenet invincibility.
It's right that the Valois will never fully paid for Jean 2 ransom (and it was one of Henry 5 argument to restart the war) but Edward 3 couldn't legally broke his words unless the Valois will not respect their part of the deal (wich will happen but it will be already too late for Edward as he will deal with Charles 5 who was too much for him)
@@robert-surcouf Because, although John II signed the treaty, Charles as dauphin and his government refused to sign it. To be honest, trying to regain the entire Angevin empire in that treaty was opportunistic and wouldn't have worked. What he got ion Bretigny was the best he could have got at the time.
Actually 1359 Chevauncee was mounted with the plan of taking Reims and crowing himself as king there. Then once that failed wonder around for a bit, before trying a march on Paris and that going sideways.
Wouldn't say that it was a case of Charles V being too much for Edward III, but rather majority of England's best commanders and leaders died during the peace and those that remained were slowly either killed off, captured or slipped into senility. While French came up with a decent new strategy to macximise their advantages to retake the territory they lost.
@@wedgeantillies66 For the first treaty of London, Jean 2 still had the power and signed it in January 1358 but that's because he did it that Charles 5 could become regent in February 1358 and retroactively denied the first treaty and all his father's actions as long as he will be in captivity.
Edward chevauchée in 1359-1360 could have worked but ironically, he had the wrong Valois as prisoner.
Charles 5 choose to avoid any conflict in open battlefiled and made a war of attrition with guerilla tactics while Jean will fight directly Edward with another disaster (and the latter chevauchées in 1370, 1373 or 1383 will be counter in the same way).
Edward could have better conditions if he had conquer more land in southern France before the treaty, making the Valois situation more precarious but he made a mistake by besieging directly Reims and Paris.
The death of many Edward's commanders indeed had a deep impact but they don't died altogether (Grosmont died in 1361 but most of them died in the late 1360s or in the 1370's) in the same time and their successors were not trash while Charles 5 rise to power had an instantaneous impact and he choose many able commanders like Du Guesclin, De Clisson or De Vienne.
He must have been Crecy.
And Crey is coming in a week or two. Crecy right?

The Black death later on would massively slow the French military due to casualties from the plague. England would fair little better. Edwards early gains were different from his descendent Henry V. Henry looked to actively occupy & take France by military force. But then he died on campaign from disentary or heat stroke. And then u end up with his son Henry vi the only English King crowned in France & England. And kicked off the wars of the Rose's.
@wilsontheconqueror8101 Henry 6 wasn't responsible for England defeat.
There was a regency until 1437 and after 1435 it was basicalyy over for them.
Henry 6 wasn't the warrior his father was but unlike him, he wasn't lucky to fight a kingdom divided with a mad king and a civil war and the war of the roses was more Henry 4 and 5's faults than it was Henry 6.
@@robert-surcouf Spot on Analysis, as Lancastrian regency under Bedford in France during the period 1422-35, apart from the blip caused by brief success of the maid, had been very successful in pushing forward the boundaries of the Lancastrian kingdom of France. It was only once they lost their Burgundians allies in 1435 and were no longer facing a divided France that the war took a turn for the worse.
More Henry IV, fault as his usurpation of the throne in 1399 and how he dealt harshly with the subsequent revolts against his rule that laid precedent for what would go on during the wars of the roses. Henry V, did a brilliant job in reconciling his nobles to his regime legitimacy through reburying Richard II and unifying factor of French war. Unfortunately those tensions came back to the fore following the defeat in France and fight over control of the government and weak king, by factions, that set in motion wars of the roses. .
@@wedgeantillies66 I think Bedford death in 1435 was the second blow to the Lancastians but the treaty of Arras and the end of the civil war was definitely the first one.
For Jeanne of Arc, her success was overestimated (she was there at Orleans but not in Patay) doesn't lead to Charles 7 victory but she helped to stop the lancastrian invasion in the Loire and bring Charles to Reims to have his coronation (part or why Henry 6 was seen as the illegitimate king is because he was crowned in Paris instead of Reims, aka the city where every king since the early carolingians were crowned because Clovis also had his baptism there).
Nevertheless, Jeanne was captured in 1430 and the lancastrians still had a shot until 1435 even if the situation was less in their favor and more even.
For Henry 5, i also put the blame on him because he start again a war he doesn't need to with the loss of all continental lands but Calais as consequencies and for satisfying his greed of conquest, he had married the mad king's (Charles 6) daughter and doomed his own son who will share grand daddy insanity.
@@robert-surcoufTotally agree that the dual blows of Bedford's death and the treaty of Arras in 1435, were the prime factor in leading to England losing the war.
She stops the continued run of French defeats and gives them a moral boost. Yet her only major victory at Orleans wasn't down to her success, but the fact that the English never really surrounded the city on the northern side in any great strength to enforce a proper siege and gave up, once they saw Orleans could be resupplied from south as well as river.
Yes and was tried and burned by her own people. French Burgundians working with the English,
Henry V, was an opportunist and a very successful one at that during his reign. Taking advantage of French civil war to gain massive lands and territory across the sea. alongside the crown. Couldn't have foreseen that he would die young, before he achieved total victory or his son would be a disaster as king.

The English may have lost the war but its still impressive that they lasted so long against the French
@theawesomeman9821 The english were not alone.
A third to a half of France was allied with them at least once and despite being the favorites some times, they always blew it.
@@robert-surcoufHelped that for most of the war, despite massive size indifference between the two countries, England had by far the better centralized government and tax collection systems. As well as ability to always find allies, happy to back their cause internally, be they rebels or lords with personal grievances against French crown or lords of great domains like Brittany, Flanders and later Burgundy attempting to preserve the integrity of their states against encroaching influence of France or seeking revenge for murderer family.
@@wedgeantillies66 France (or eastern francia) was the champion of feudalism and decentralisation since the late 9th century an even if the capetians dynasty (mostly Philippe 2, Louis 9 and Philippe 4) made a good job to centralize the kingdom, the crisis of succession in 1328 put the new Valois dynasty in a precarious situation and weakened the royal power.
The ultimate proof that the war wasn't simply France vs England is that despite the gap between the population (1 vs 5), the Plantagenet/Lancastrian were never outnumbered more than 1 vs 2 in the big battles and they even outnumbered the Valois armies in most of their own big defeats.
@@robert-surcouf True as particularly Philip II, massively expanded and centralised the power of the French royal domains and kings by defeating his Angevin rivals. As would several of his successors by other means.
Oh agree as during the Edwardian era of the war, England could count on Gascons, Bretons, Navaresse, Flemish and discontented Frenchmen to fight in their armies against their French opponents. While during the Lancastrian period, England still had the Gascons as well the Burgundians as prime allies in their fight to ensure the implementation of the Treaty of Troyes.
Do you have some videos about Armenia?
Wow did Edward III ever pay off his debts?
Took him, the next few years to do so, that the only major military campaign between 1340 and 1345 would be the Breton campaign of 1342. Plus he learnt crucial lesson, not to rely on foreign mercenaries and instead use loyal home grown or allies whom could be relied upon such as Gascons, Flemish and Bretons in future campaigns.
@@wedgeantillies66---I see. Thanks for telling me.
You’re very welcome and by 1355 with war going in his favour Edward was able to fund military campaigns out of his own pocket without parliamentary taxation due to
Increased royal revenues and spoils of war: mainly ransoms of enemy prisoners.
@@wedgeantillies66---I see. Nice fact. Thanks.
PLEASE NEW HANNIBAL EPISODES??? DONT IGNORE US ON THIS
Have you considered doing big fantasy battles? Just a cool thought, maybe for april fools.
I don't want to be an armchair general, but how more I read about how the French conducted this war and many others, the more I see their lack of energy and flexibility compared to the English. King Philip VI could had tried to buy the Germans and sent the Burgandians on smaller raiding missions. I do believe France had a chance to destroy the English and, if the Germans have had betrayed England, possible with low cost on their own.
I see the point that King Philip VI did the right thing because a, did not lose any men whilst Edward III retreated and b, did not risk losing a battle. But in the other hand he lost a great opportunity to drastically weaken English power and prestige whilst increasing his own which would be better for France in other terms.
Later on the French commanders/war effort was substantially better, first under Betrand Who defeated the English in the second phase of the conflict and then under Joan in the 4th phase. English leadership particularly under Richard II and Henry VI was terrible.
It's really interesting to wonder how much the war would have been affected if Philip IV had forced battle on Edward III at Tournai.
Philip could not have brought the Germans to his side at this point, because the Germans were wary of the French King’s influence growing in their regions. And before the Tournai campaign Philip and his son John had lead an invasion into Hainult that had fought a Brabant-Flemish and Hainult coalition that was called off because of Edward’s victory at Sluys and following campaign. And the German’s weren’t gonna betray Edward at this point for that same reason and Edward had paid them a lot of money already although he still owed them much more

On the initial map of 1340, the Basque Country appears as part of Navarra when they had already been part of Castile for more than a century.
It is very tiring to have to say this over and over again and all with the mania of the Basque separatists trying to create a Basque nation that never existed.
If he was bankrupt, how did he raised money to gather an army and start a war?
Look at the footnotes on the end credits of the video, it explains how. 👍
Simply answer, burrowed it mostly from Italian banking houses and then defaulted on his loans to them. Only paid back debts that he had to put up royal Jewels as collateral for.
To the content creator of this channel:
While I am absolutely a fan of your channel, this sort of content in particular, and even of other channels that feature content of historical battles, I DO have one HUGE complaint about your content which - although I'm probably wasting my time even attempting to tell you about it, as you likely receive waaay too many comments to have any chance at reading mine, probably having turned off notifications long, long ago - seriously takes away from my enjoyment of your videos (as well as of other creators who also choose to incorporate the offending element into their own videos)...
My complaint involves your choice to give little snarky commentary bubbles throughout your videos, the purpose of which I understand is meant to be a stylized way of representing the thoughts, feelings and overall sentiment of the main characters, as well as that of the various elements and factions within their respective forces (and sometimes of other groups, such as the local peasants or whatever)....
However, while I definitely appreciate why you would want to convey a greater understanding to your audience of the sentiment of those involved (and to make the various characters involved more relatable than they would otherwise feel to us, given the dehumanizing and desensitizing nature of their being represented as being simply little squares and circles wiggling around, somehow launching animated arrows and rocks at one another, seemingly without any clear goals or motivations for their - at times - otherwise inexplicable actions on the battlefield), my issue is in your choice to have these comments pop up at unexpected times, to have them often come one after another from different areas of the screen that demand that we chase them around with our concentration by constantly shifting our gaze, in our attempt to capture the essense of their meaning, the brevity with which these comments remain on-screen before disappearing, and ESPECIALLY your VERY POOR sense of TIMING, that sees these comments often occurring SIMULTANEOUSLY with the main narration of your videos....!!
All of these combine to form a feeling of constant frustration, as we (or I, if nobody else feels the same way - although I can't imagine this being the case) are forced to choose one of 3 options:
1.) to skip back at several points during the video, in our attempt to capture all of this input,
2.) to slow down the playback to 0.75x (which is an even MORE inefficient use of our time),
or
3.) to just do our best to keep up, by choosing to TRY to focus on the narration, while - when possible - to try to catch SOME of the popups, while [hopefully] doing so WITHOUT losing track of what is going on in the storyline, in the process.... which is nearly impossible to do, ESPECIALLY given the somewhat distracting nature of most people's everyday listening environment, and the rapidly occurring and fading pop-ups ‐‐ MANY of which are ALSO commonly meant to be cleverly crafted and snarky for entertainment purposes, but which often require a little extra time to consider, in order to achieve that intended effect...
TL/DR: Please limit the occurrence of pop-up snarky comments in your videos in such a way that they DO NOT occur at times when we are trying to follow the narration, please make the comments either simpler to digest OR give them a tiny bit longer duration on-screen before fading, and perhaps consider adding a tiny extra gap between the end of a section of narration and the beginning of a series of pop-up comments from the characters, as well as between the end of them and the resumption of the narration, to allow for better digestion and smoother transition between all of these various input elements....
I PROMISE you that if you apply my suggestions to your videos, they will benefit from these very small nuanced adjustments in such a way as to make the overall experience MUCH, MUCH smoother and more enjoyable, from the perspective of most of us that make up your audience.
I hope that anyone who replies to my comment to voice their disagreement with my pov does so from a place of constructive sincerity, that those who would disagree from a place of internet trollishness might reconsider before commenting, and that the creator might follow my advice, hopefully setting a precedent for the rest of the creators across the various content platforms might follow, moving forward.....
Thank you in advance for your time in reading and for your consideration of my humble suggestions.
Also, if you followed along with all that I have written herein, and if you like either my ideas, or my approach at problem solving, please feel free to send me a friend request on FB @:
Jay Etatslla
I have some big ideas for the future, and am looking for people who are like-minded about problem solving, who excel at understanding what they read and at critical thinking, and who - in particular - would be those that would do more than simply TALK about the future (if you catch my meaning).

4.) is curious in a more proactive way than most people would be about what I've got in mind

The HYW lasted 116 years. And the English could not have won the war anyway. France had more allies, landmass, economy, agriculture, population, religious support. France even had the Scottish invade England. Sure English soldiers occupied areas in France, which unfortunately everyone only talks about (war crimes and joan of arc).
@Anglo-Saxon2001 The english had twice the opportunities to win the war in 1358 and 1428 but blew it.
If we talk about allies, landmass or population, a third to a half or France was allied with England (all of Gascony, the revolts flanders, Burgundy, nobles from Occitanie, Poitou or Normandy and even half of Brittany which wasn't part of France until the 16th century).
For the war crimes, they were the consequences of the chevauchées and not the occupation.
What war crimes? This is nonsense that came about due to a 21st century US mock trial that judged by modern standards.
So the French king outnumbered the English in both men, money and quality if troops but instead signed a peace treaty?
I mean how cowardly can you be
Instead of cowardly, Philippe 6 was too much a cautious man.
In 1339 after the siege of Cambrai, Edward fled when Philippe 6 came with a bigger army and made his camp near La Capelle with an uphill defensive position just like Crecy 7 years later but Philippe refused to attack (he had proposed previously to fight in an open field but Edward had refused) and avoided a potential disaster but was blamed by his nobles because they couldn't ransomed.
The battle was avoided too at Tournai because Philippe's sister intervened but it's obvious he could end the war if he had successfully attacked.
La Capelle and Tournai were also the reasons why Crecy happened with Philippe being forced to attacked by his nobles despite not wanting it.
In the end, Philippe lacked rashness for the better and decisiveness for the worse (maybe because he was already 47 at Tournai).
I wonder why is there always a woman to come ruining every damn thing
What an episode, love the politics and intrigue going on as well
ps: those map are gorgeous, love the city lights and the siege engine shots.
Edward III is the greatest English King.
@cartesian_doubt6230 Do you speak about the guy who lost the war and his territories overseas ?
Love the history lessons, but when doing your "animations", do you guys first try to conceptualize how it would look like in real-life? My bet is no. So many of your animation and troop positioning makes absolute no sense and it would require someone just a tiny bit of effort to visualize how it would look like in 3D to fix that issue. It has become a huge distraction to me and I'"m sure to many people who can't make sense out of these poorly thought animations. Hope you will work on that and think about their positions/roles more thoroughly. Don't forget that most people watching your videos are strategy game players, we play all day long with armies and overview map with unit icons, it's not hard for us to detect BS when we see it.
