Now for some disclaimers/corrections
-Sorry for the occasional audio glitches, unfortunately wasn't able to go back to location and refilm those bits.
-I believe my neckbeard is period accurate, that's my excuse anyways.
-Obviously all the weapons are props - couldn't legally own a sword even if I had that kind of money for one
Somebody’s been playing kingdom come deliverance recently havent they?
No
@@preacher3958 No, not really
youre pronounciation is horrible mate the names are horid but píštala was guite close so ill give ya a pass on that mate
How tall are you. You look kinda tall
Me: Mom, can we have knights?
Mom: No, we have knights at home.
Knights at home:
Those hussites basically btfo the knights tho
@@AB-fr2ei yup.
Like any good Mums cooking, it blows the fuck out McDonalds
Abokasee I agree , what's so good about dried meat with chemical smeared bread?
Actually a hussite would be a much better hero than knights: have common origins, fight for equality, were able to beat superior forces and in theory anyone could become one
I was not expecting a Potion Seller reference in this. I love it.
Jan Žižka was one of the best military commanders in history, even after losing both of his eyes he didn't lose a single battle. Leading peasants against knights.
not tryna talk shit im just 1/3rd polish and beautiful
,,Sir, thy enemies have surrounded us! What shall we do?!"
,,Let's move right there!"
,,But sir, that's a lake.."

Hmm, the animation in this one is so realistic
There you are again

@Gustavo Octavio deCampos A kindergarten friend of yours? Cool
This is the live action adaptation
Big shield? Basinet helm? Polearms? CROSSBOWS? *Rhodok screeching*
I think they are actually based on them
@@nag7254 I've always thought of the Rhodoks as more Italian, but I can see the Hussite influence now.
@@nathanielcrosby2426 hussites, swiss, genoese, cossacks, flemish, rhodoks, they are all peasants and burghers, who are just peasants with more money .
@@ernstschmidt4725 indeed and yeah the italians in general made wide use of what became rather sophisticated and well equip burgher millitias. supplemented by mercernary condottieri who woudl switch sides all the time. the condottieri were the knights and men at arms. but since they had no loyalty the cities had to behave sort of like the hussites and figure out how to manage against them, without them.
This is why Rhodok's are so bad out in the field, no wagons.
Leonardo DaVinci: "I invented tank warfare."
Jan Žižka from the previous century: "You copied my homework..."
I don't think it was the clothing that saved the Hussites...
*IT WAS THE WAGONS*
what is a wagon but clothing for wheels
@@juanjuri6127 top kek
Nope! They have Henry of Skalitz on their side.
Ale tomu nerozumíš to je vozová hradba
For extend, it was more using profesional wagon drivers, that gave them the edge. Wagons were used for centuries, but using actual profesionals to drive them was a new thing.
Crusading Knights: Nooooooo, low born peasants can't defeat their High Born Feudal Betters!!!
Hussites: Ha Ha! Hand Cannons Go BOOM!!!
@kala captain stale comment.
píšťala* go BOOM!!!
samurai: first time?
@@friedlemons5201 Actually, Samurai were enthusiastic gun users, having first studied a number of matchlocks that were "Forcefully Purchased" from a group of Portuguese sailors, before making their own. It was only after the conclusion of the Sengoku Jidai period, that firearms were outlawed and all destroyed, as part of Tokugawa Ieasu's efforts to consolidate power. Indeed, there were Ninjas who specialized a snipers using long barrel matchlock rifles
well, on the other hand though breastplates as guns came into the picture required to be "proofed" against gunfire before sale so really those couldn't have been more practical than a conventional crossbow which also struggled greatly against at least the main armor components (little issue if they were to take the hand or another weak spots, knights still wouldn't take the chance of "maybe they won't get hit where it will penetrate"
Fun fact: Píšťala means flute, or whistle (the latter being etymologically close) and it most likely spawned the word for a short firearm - pistol.
But if I'm not mistaken, the píšťala was soon replaced by hákovnice - a hook gun. It had a 90° claw on the underside designed to catch on a wagon, a wall, or that shield, to transmit recoil there instead the shooter.
Underrated comment, dropping knowledge like morgensterns on heads of dismounted knights. I didn't make the connection, thanks.
idk if you have ever seen a flute but they are not short... lmao
@@benjamingrezik373 I don't know if you've ever seen a flute but they don't shoot... lmao (not trying to be a dick though just some banter)
houfnice se stala do anglického Howitzer
@@itshenry8977 That went through German: Houfnice -> Haubitze -> howitzer.
(houf = bunch; as for "gun for shooting bunches of people at once")
"Common people can never expect to win by playing by the rules of their betters." This is as true today as with the Hussites. Take this to heart
Off topic but...what is your flag of in your profile picture? I'd love to know (I'm an amateur vexillologist)

@@jamesgeorge7579 then he'll have to wait for a NordVPN sponsorship
I just want to mention, that the czech name of the handheld cannons "píšťala" (you can translate it as organ pipe) is where the word "pistol" comes from.
Kettle helmet, wheels, and cannon. The three ingredients for a happy poor boy.
I always thought the Hussites is the inspiration for the rhodoks in mount and blade warband. Those giant shields and their peasant origins, and their tendency to knock snobby knights down a notch.
Him: The poor man’s knight.
Me: *The poor man’s poor.*
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
They've Got Wagons!
It's an often repeated myth that early handcannons were ineffective. While inaccurate from more than 50 yards, they do very well against most armor of the age (which was pressured to improve). They were shot only when the enemy was close enough, ensuring they pay a heavy price for trying to close in.
*GAMBESON*
*Shadiversity has entered the chat*
@incinerator950 Supper underrated part of history.
He's more onto brigadines now rather than gambeson.
Hussites - The Poor Man's Knight
Hussars - Epic Cavalry
AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
0:01 scared me there for a second! Glad to see the Hussites War Wagons getting some love cuz in late medieval warfare it’s not always about knight cavalry or longbow man sometimes it’s about what u got on hand and making the best of it in order to defeat your foes!
Hey, we finally get to know what Feature History looks like!
...through an alarming number of filters...
to be exact, his face was also on one of his earlier video
Those aren't filters mate, that's fabric of reality itself being stretched by the idiotic design choices of the new CK.
Oh shit, this series isn't dead. My heart overflows with jubilation.
In Czech, the "J" is pronounced as a "Y" in English, just to let you know.
haha right
The j is a y in just about EVERY language, except English 👍
thank jou.
@@cake8888 no, in Spanish, it's more complicated.
This games marketing budget was enough to bring my guy back from the dead
I've been waiting for you to continue this for forever. Please make more
Damn I forgot how cute feature history was 0_0
Soft armor is extremely *ineffective* against blunt force. What it does well against is cuts, and to a lesser degree thrusts.
Thats really well tested, assume thats a slip of the tongue?
most certainly because it defies simple logic. cloth armor only helps agaist slices and grazes and shallow pokes
Not really. The cloth can spread the hit nicely. Of course it's not as good as mail or plate, but it definitely isn't ineffective.

Always happy to see another one of your videos 👌
Yes finally another video about Czech history! Greetings from the Czech republic mate and thank you very much. :)
Established war doctrine : exists
Hussites and Chinese peasants : *we're about to end this mans whole career*
oooo rhodoks!! I got it where rhodoks came from :D
Simo's comming up in the world, I remember subbing to him when he was still just a small channel posting CKII memes
This is such a good video, and I actually learned something!
I fear no man, but that thing
0:01
It scares me.
*foppish screaming*
lol that intro was nice
Honestly, I was afraid that you wouldn't upload a new episode of Feature Fittings due to the bad reception of the first episode, but I am glad that that didn't stopped you, I liked the first episode as well as this one, and I hope you will be doing more in the future.
Greetings!
Worth the wait.
6:38, feature history is about to lead a revolution
Well this was an interesting change of pace, good work
Great choice of topic and execution!
One if not my favorite channel whit the best 2 episode serie
Ah so he is alive! Guess I can toss out that eulogy
Nice to see this series comeback
I love this! Thinking for yourself spiritualy, early Reformation, early populism
The potion seller reference was stunning I respect you greatly now!
The new format is very informative
“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.”

you're finally back!
Feature History has blessed us with a video during this time of need
"Long-ass and ranged-ass." Truly a beautiful description.
Thanks for making a video about the hussites
Henry’s come to see us!
I was only rewatching the soviet gear vid earlier today can't believe my luck great vid 👏
Great video, very informative, can't wait for more feature fittings. Do you know much about the Rhodesian bush war. would you ever consider doing a video on it?
It seems that the early domination of mounted knights in the middle ages was due to technological advantages
Finnaly a video :)
well done my Australian neutralian historian!
Nice video as always, would be great to see a feature fittings on the crusader's foot soldiers
Perfect. Finally a good fucking video in my recommended
I reckon I saw you at Coles. Keep up the sick videos!
Fun fact: The word "píšťala" evolved into todays "pistol(e)" and Houfnice became known as "Howitzer"
Pistala, Pistol - sound familiar? Would never expect somebody outside of this country to do a video on a relatively obscure part of our history, thanks!
Hey, Hennry has come to see us!
America: loses to a bunch of poor vietnamese farmers
Russia: loses to a bunch of poor afghan farmers
Christendom: loses to a bunch of bohemian farmers
Britain: loses to a bunch of poor boer african farmers
i don't like where this is going...
You forget how many of said farmers died
Don't underestimate farmers
long live the workers revolution! Nulla Crux, Nulla Corona!
incinerator950 ARVN would be the generally more correct term in place of SVK.
@incinerator950 What about the Boers?
This is amazing can wait for the next one
In about a year...
What the....
Really enjoyed this vid though keep on making them
You just reminded me to start a Potion Seller religion in CK3. Thanks!
7:28 That's my little brother's reaction back in the day when it came to games lol
Now to wait for another release of feature fittings
Id love to see a video on SADF Pat83 gear, ww1 british kit and of course Australian vietnam wares
Nice to see someone with eyes in this channel.
I can't decide which style I like more, the animated style or this!
Hey look, it's Henry, he's come to see us!
5:33 thats where the word "pistol" originates from
Now this is the height of fashion
Good video nice related ad :)
You sir are a legend yourself thanks for the good historic content even though that i'm not european but this facinated me!
Jan Zizka was a freaking badass. Just thinking of a dude with an eye patch leading peasants to smash armies with innovative tactics gives me tingles. Reminds me a lot of Hannibal.
3:46 actually how I understand it is that soft armours were more effective against cuts than blunt force. As the thick cloth is meant to stop slicing however you’d need a lot more linen to actually cushion the force of a mace.
Many names of firearms come from hussites. You mentioned howitzer that comes from word houfnice (buncher), or pistol, that comes from píšťala (flute). Word arquebus comes from totally mutated word hákovnice ( hook piece)
A hand held gun that was secured to sides of a war wagoon by a hook. Making recoil manageable.
8:11 OK YOU GOT ME!
Knights: You Sir are by far the *worst* soldier I have ever... smelled.
Hussites: Haha hand gonne go boooom!
it's cool that you showed us your medieval clothing
*cue dramatic music* “Kept you waiting huh?”
Now we know why it took him so much time. He made some nite props and costumes.
The piš’tala is what gave us the English word pistol
I never expected this much drip
interesting topic
still looks cool
This video made me think I was having speaker issues. So much popping.
Memes aside, this video was worth the two years wait
wow I thought the series died, this is awesome
Henry is here!
I know this video was supposed to be about Medieval combat equipment, but that hoodie at the end is what really betrayed your status as a supremely cultured man.
The potion seller reference is also appreciated.
There are Hussites in Australia apparently.
I didn't think the backgound scenery looked like central Europe. The gum trees were a bit of a give away.
7:18 Finally. A worthy for for the Bread Bois
*"Otome Sensou"* manga brought me here.
Specifically the wagon fort scene against the cavalry.
You have a lot of semi unfinished vids which I would love to see a part two for.
