Hey HistoryMarche. I really like your videos and look forward to their release every week. I have a question though: Why are your series released interspersed with other unrelated videos (sometimes for weeks) rather than one after another? Thanks for all your sterling work.
Based on what you have explained, attacking too early was a mistake. However the real problem seems to have been a lack of discipline, co-ordination, command and control. For example, even if the vanguard had attacked too soon and retreated. The retreating troops could have drawn the now disorganised English into the core Scottish forces. Presumably the fundamental problem being that the forces were loyal to individual barrons instead of a King.
I feel like the defeat can be summed as as divide and conquer, but done to yourself. He sent very fast units forward which were not able to be supported by the rest of the army.Thus giving the engligh a numbers advantage where there should have been none
@@engarvikk5885 indeed is it. It's basically the true legacy of the Holy Roman Empire. We all have multiple ancestors from different nations that connect to the Habsburgs or the Wittelsbach dynasties in central Europe. The same could be said of how America interconnects with most of the known world today.
yeah, most people fail to appreciate that this was the case from the very beginning even, the hegemony in Scotland being essenitally another branch of the Saxon tree, having come over in the same migration invasions as those further south... in fact they came up via England where they were established first.
@@greg_4201 THAT is complete bollocks! You are seriously saying that THE SCOTS were saxons?! FFS do a bit of reading before you say such stupid things! The Scottish ethnic and national group is CELTIC in origin. Everybody with half-a-brain knows that.
@@seastnanseastnan7765 fuck, I've got a retard trying to rudely lecture me who not only can't read, but doesn't even recognise the difference between a lowland Scot noble and a tribal Celtic Gael, holy fuck 🤡🤦🏻♂️ never mind Saxons and the early dark age, you're probably gonna try and tell me ROBERT the Bruce was a damn celt 🤣 fuckin' unbelievable how some people get so offensive when they can't even be sure what thay're talking about... you probably don't even know what fucking language the Scots officially spoke ...I'll give you a clue; it starts with 'Eng' and ends in 'lish'. and before you go off on some pointless rant about how 'Scots' came from Ulster; everybody knows that.... that's not what's being discussed here. what's being discussed is the origins of the mainstay of lowland Scottish nobility after the Norman invasion, and I raised the point of the largely Saxon, although mixed, origins of the Scottish court centuries before that. Scotland was many different things back then... don't confuse them with the modern nation and don't confuse High Middle Age Scotland with Alba or Caledonia, or pretend those things were coherent and homogenous either... they were nothing of the kind you really need to think more. I mean how does it even make sense in your head that the region now called Scotland, which was never conquered or colonised in any way by the Romans, suddenly found itself worshipping Christianity and writing in Latin without English influence 🤦🏻♂️ did you think the Vikings brought that? 😂 come on, man... * great, now you've deleted your comment so nobody can see how rude you were... what a guy
If I am not wrong. This period of the Anarchy and this English Royal Civil War, is the foundation for the Dance of the Dragons Civil War in ASOF and in the tv show House of the Dragons
Yep pretty incredible how slow he writes when he's just plagiarizing/adapting stories anyway. Maybe he'd be faster if he came up with something more original. Anyway he's gonna die before redditors get their book, which is just punishment.
@Daemon Targaryen Final Fantasy Tactics had the most interesting fictional War of the Roses. A lot of it is in the background, because you play as the childhood friend of the new king, and you end up punching the demons behind it all while he resolves the civil war.
@@kevingray5646 agreed. This kind of tyrannical rule was the reason why the Maga Carta was created in 1215 under the third Angevin monarch John, King of England. Unfortunately, Longshanks skipped around the Maga Carta until the disaster at Stirling Bridge forced him to join with the magnates to confirm/sign it to allow him to have enough support to wage another war with the Scots.
plantagenets being its greatest dynasty is highly debatable considering how they fucked over england in pursuit of their own ambitions and caused civil wars
Quote about King David I of Scotland "Few kings more than David I deserve the reputation as “maker” of his kingdom. Although he is overshadowed in popular memory by his descendant, the later “saviour” of Scotland, Robert Bruce, it was David who laid the foundations of the medieval Scottish monarchy and set in motion the changes that created the kingdom that vied with England for mastery of the British Isles." - 'David I: The King Who Made Scotland' by book author Richard Oram
@Croutonium very true. King Philip II of Macedon did allow Alexander to have enough advantages to defeat his domestic Greek rivals and later enhance/upgrade the army to fight Persia in the coming conflicts. Literally reshape the Hellenistic world, and some thought Philip be the thirteenth Greek God had he not been assassinated. Same could be almost said about Frederick The Great when he inherited his father's well trained army for Prussia.
@@neiloflongbeck5705eah what they didn’t realise was it was the peasant population mostly effected the standing armies lords most of them avoided the plague by being walled up away from it. Or burning the bodies of the peasants so again if you are poor you are fucked.
brilliant documentary. historymarche one of the best channels in youtube about history. the anarchy one of the most devastating periods of the english history. looking forward to watch more great content from your channel. A fan from Sri Lanka . this led to the takover by henry ii son of empress matilda . brilliant as usual.
Really good video, clear, good looking, well produced. One tiny point, Alnwick isn't pronounced as it's written. The l and w are silent, it's pronounced Annick.
Clear and engaging history animation that deserves further consideration. The pop-up dialog globes are just right and funny as hell. Three stars of four for not conveying precise info on the patronage intention since the beginning, making me fast forward after feeling confused…
Can you please add a key for scale? Alot of times I have no idea what scale I am looking at, is it a kilometer or 10 Kilometers? How far did they march, how far away was the enemy, how large was the battlefield? Please help, I watch this channel almost daily. Thx for the content!
If I was David's son. I would be furious with my father for withdrawing and not taking advantage of the charge. A clear sign of a sheep leading lions. David had numerical advantage and an eager army, and still lost.
I don't know, if I was David I'd be pissed at those overly eager banner men that egged him on and just threw themselves into battle instead of waiting patiently. They had the advantage and if we'd believe the map, the high ground. But yes, seems like something went really wrong with that battle. I wouldn't be overly harsh on David overall though. He built the foundations of Scotland.
Most wonderful introduction of that strike & political background ( kings, lords & Noble dynasties competitions amongst themselves for approaching English thrones ) at those times...(History Marche) channel, you are an extremely excellent historical coverage channel. Allot thanks
Attacking first is not ideal. Unless you are Alexander...the dude straight up charged at the Battle of the Granicus, Issus, Gaugamela. His rapid advances were shocking, brave, borderline foolish but resoundingly successful.
Another video about English history, keep it on... Sarcasm aside, you are great channel but would be nice to hear about lesser known but also epic battles, such as Posada 1330, Kulikovo 1380, Rozgony 1312, Clontarf 1014, Aljubarrota 1385, Navas de Tolosa 1212, Guadalete 711 or dozens of other reconquista battles, Zemun 1167, Serres 1196, Mokra and Torvioll or other battles of Skanderbey? The battle of Zara in 1346 was a massive fight between 30-55 000 soldiers (16-25 000 Venetians, 20-30 000 Hungarians and Croatians) and included naval forces (30 Venetian galleys bombed the attackers and then landed behind their back). And how many lesser known battles thorough Africa and are Asia still to be told! Hope you guys will do these topics some day.
I'll confess, as much as I love Alexander Doddy as a history narrator, David McCallion has been growing on me for the past couple years Always enjoy y'alls videos, keep it up
Fun and interesting. Well done! I (as a Dutch) do not know much of your English fights, but I think the Dutch Kingdom also had family in GB and France and Germany. BTW, I see that Holland is very much made of water.. 😛

The Anarchy was the historical event in which the fictional conflict of the Dance of the Dragons was inspired by in House of the Dragon.
I knew the connection between Game of Thrones and the Wars of the Roses, but not this. It seems obvious now though, so thanks for enlightening me!
and it inspired the most famous SecsPistols song
And was the basis for the best historical fiction Pillar's of the Earth.

Thank you for featuring these less explored timelines and less known conflicts&battles. Keep up the good work.
The Anarchy, one of the worst civil conflicts to ever afflict england... But one that gave rise to it's greatest Dynasty: The Plantagenets.
Psychopathic Angevins, cruel, megalomaniac kings particularly longshanks.

Scotland: England is in chaos, let's invade!
Scotland 5 days later: That was a bad idea, retreat!
They did something similar during the Black Death, with all the expected results.
Every single time there was slight unrest in England the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh would have a go, only to surrender later.
