This is the kind of content that should be on the History Channel.
Yes non of this storage wars crap
YEP!
Agreed.
Modern History TV > Aliens helped humans create everything
Aliens made the quintain
Please do a video about travelling abroad in Medieval times :) Thank you!
General rule: never in winter.
@@Doomcharger Yup.
@@Doomcharger Pilgrimages could very often take you through all the seasons, and most people did some sort of pilgrimage at least once
Especially if you are going to a tourney abroad in the summer(as I suppose you may do) it would be very cool to see a reportage form the tourney and you could even interview some people!
JongeMatador if you go to Modern History TV, you'll find loads of videos and there might be one there that covers traveling. In any case, if you haven't seen them already, they're great for binge-watching. 😊
After a very, very trying week, this brought such a huge smile to my face.
It's clear that your horses love you, and that you work twice as hard with them as you do on your own skills. Watching you work with them always makes my day.
Good boy indeed!
We can see that you have have been riding for many years and have a life-time of knowledge. Non riders do not understand how much work, time, physical effort, money and injuries go into a rider such as yourself... to give us the absolutely fantastically natural look when you are in the saddle. I do like your common sense approach with your horses.
I love when he says there is two things missing now.. a horse and a lance. The look on his face was that of pure contentment. Like a kid would be before their birthday or something. Genuine happy chap. Keep it up!
This is without a doubt one of the most consistently good TH-cam channels I know, possibly even the best one. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks, very kind of you to say so.
Ah Talos! That makes a Nord proud :)
Great game that. I’ve spent many hours wandering about forgetting the main plot.
@@ModernKnight That's the best part of the game... Have you heard of the High Elves ? ;)
Talos guide you!
Probably makes greeks proud too
@@BarokaiRein Well bless me with your knowledge traveler !
Talos is a big ole boy. And he is a remarkable looking horse.
Every time I think we've seen his largest horse, Jason comes out with another absolute UNIT that's even larger
You're an amazing horseman, an excellent historian and overall my favorite "knight". Thank you for your contribution to the medieval society!! Love watching.
Funnily enough it's your interaction with Talos and how he learns what you teach him, that draws me in, rather than the working of the quintain. It's such a joy to see horse and rider working together like that.
How old is Talos, and what breed is he? There was mention of it in an older video of your horses, I'll have to look it up.
He’s 5 now, and a Shire Andalusian cross which I call a Kingslander.
Jason, could you do one video with Warlord and yourself making a full on charge against a target with a lance, perhaps a ballistic gel bust, like a Medieval knight would in battle? That would be epic!
I’ll have to get my lance rest repaired if I do.
Talos wants to do his thing. His excitement is tangible. Just look at his eagerness. I look forward to seeing his progress. And the Quintain thing was awesome. Movies can really distort truth for drama. Another enlightening video Jason. So loving this channel.
Talos has the most gorgeous color scheme - the subtle gradients from black to golden brown. 🐴❤️
This is honestly the coolest TH-cam channel I've ever run across by accident.
Thank you very much sir for sharing some more knowledge! This is another interesting and fascinating video! It's great how you explain details of Talos training too and how confident he is next to the quintain. He's s gorgeous and well trained horse!
How beautiful. Thank you for this great video. I never knew what that instrument was or what it was actually used for. Much love to all. ❤👍
I would be interested to see more about progressing a horse through training for this type of riding, starting from a completely green horse, and how modern and medieval methods are similar and different. Talos is such a handsome boy and I love watching him learn!
Awesome stuff good sir and Talos is a great looking horse
Thank you so much for doing this. I know you don’t have to do this but I appreciate it a lot. History is my passion, especially the type you cover. I may not get to do this but I enjoy watching you do all these cool things and just wanted to say thank you. Also, congrats on the silver play button.
Somewhat off topic for you maybe but I would be really interested in seeing you experiment throwing javelins vs lance. In ancient Greece, there was a debate (circa Xenophon's time) about which was better to equip your line cavalery. IIRC Xenophon thought that one light and one heavy javelins was the best combo. Throw the light one at your max effecive range then quickly transition to your heavy one and either use it as a lance or throw it aswell. He must have known what he was talking about but.... then the macedonian/thessalian cavalery used lances instead and became the new reference. I always thought that was quite an interesting puzzle.
Anyhow thank you so much for sharing those videos with us !
Love your preparation of Talos for his work.. he has great foam - looks even too.
Almost brings me tears of emotion to see so much love and care toward all your horses.
Great video, as always.
I love this channel my history teacher shows one of these in class and I still watch you I love horses and history so this channel is amazing
Talos will come around. You have a great way with your horses! Thanks for this glimpse!!!
I enjoyed this video so much that I watched it twice. Talos is such a beautiful creature. And so sweet in the way he tries to please. You make riding him look so easy. Thank you for the lovely video. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best part of the video is Jason telling Talos he's a good boy/lad. This is the kind of wholesome content I want to learn from
Talos is so cute. I appreciate how you talk a bit about training the horse to run properly past the target etc. I don't know if it was in relation to my previous question about outsourcing a part of the distancing issue to the horse, but it felt like it was. Either way, this is hands down my favorite channel on European Medieval military arts.
I've always wanted to joust, and I've finally got a horse that is taking to this like a duck to water. These videos are fantastic so I can try to hone our skills. Thankyou so much for them as it has got me totally hooked and we are both enjoying such a very exciting pastime!
well done!
@@ModernKnight I'll never come up to your standard, but with the help of your excellent videos, I'll give it a good go. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
My Lipizzaner also does Spanish walk any time he is confused or uncertain about what is being asked of him. It is basically his "go to" move because he has never failed to be praised for doing it. ;)
Isn't it possible that the sand bag's purpose could be, in addition to providing weight to the arm, to train the horse, i.e. to acquaint him to having moving objects hurling around him when he's on a galop? As I understand it, horses have a great field of vision, and might therefore be able to pick up the movement of the bag. Maybe then different colours could be more or less visible to the horses eye, which would allow different exercises to be performed?
If that were the case, it would seem to me like an explanation of the common idea that quintains could unhorse the inexperienced or inattentive runner : even without being hit by the sandbag, the latter could spook the horse if not controlled apropriately.
Then again, Talos didn't appear to budge too much despite the swinging of the arm...
Good point, yes that would be useful
Talos is such a handsome horse, you are lucky to have each other. Please keep up your amazing work I have fallen in love with your channel surprisingly fast.
I was almost certain there was no way the physics of it would allow it to swing around and hit the rider, unless he stopped dead. Though not have a quitain or horse of my own, I never had the oportunity to test it. Thanks for getting that done :P
Talos is the biggest most beautiful beast of a horse Ive ever seen.
Right?!!!!!
Love that horse.
He's amazing!
Thanks for the history lesson. I also like how you work with your horses.
The respect you have rowards the horse is remarkable! Very ingenuine video. Keep up the good work.
I am quite amazed by your videos. I enjoy the demonstrations of history. And the absolutely beautiful relationship and mutual respect between you and the horses. I had to give mine away after my husband's death. I really said goodbye to a best friend. Thank you for enriching my life. And Talos is a very good boy!
Only subscribed about 4min ago. Got a notification! Never clicked so fast in my life. Love this channel
It's very underrated, imo. So many channels talk endlessly about "the ultimate sword", yet never really go into any substance.
This is by far one of the highest quality YT channels. The production is amazing, top notch! I binge watched like 30 episodes when I first discovered this channel.
@@Judicial78 same!
I appear to be watching your videos in no particular order. I have to agree that the quality is consistent and engaging. I could have never predicted that I would be so drawn into this subject. Well done you!
Thanks
Wow. Talos is a quite handsome horse and seems to have a very level head. Very enjoyable video.
When I receive a notification from this channel, it instantly brings a smile to my face. Love watching Jason training with Warlord and Talos. The love and trust between man and horse is beautiful to watch. Talos is a big, graceful, handsome boy. Warlord is powerful, regal.
I could watch them all day.
Wow, Talos's mane looks great in this video!
Your channel makes me wanna ride, been too long !
Thank you for making these! I'm training my own horses for skill at arms and this is really helping us.
Talos is a beautiful beastie.
@4:46 Talos steals the show and my heart . He’s so gorgeous!
Wondered when Jason was going to throw some shade on a knights tale lol
Talos Is beautiful! Thanks for the video! Very interesting~~~
Talos looking as beautiful as ever
Talos is such a marvellous creature
His mouth is so relaxed, and if he is not sure he offers something, asking 'Dad is it this?' Such a sweet lad...
Such a fun, informative video! Thanks for producing such great content!
Your channel is awesome you will have over a million subscribers one day guarantee it keep up the great videos
Absolutely gorgeous horse
Your horses are beautiful ! You take Great care of them!! Love all your videos!!!❤️💖💖🥰🥰
Was just wondering if you guys were gonna cover any other topics that dont have alot of evidence, such as the Vikings, etc? I really enjoy watching these as others do because no one else takes the time to make these entertaining and educational types of videos for this particular subject and actually put some effort and REAL knowldege into them. And lets be honest, name one other presenter thats not Jason Kingsley and that covers this sort of information with enthusiasm. Keep it up M.H.
I’m doing some research into the early medieval period, and that includes Vikings.
@@ModernKnight Thank you so much for the reply, Can't wait for the next video. Love all of ya.
Dear sir . Talos ,makes you look so small .
Thks for your and your teams efforts .
This gives me an idea of how extensive a knight's training must have been. Riding, learning to handle your lance, sword, ride in formation, tactics and commands, combat techniques (in full armor), and all that for years on end. They must have been war machines by the time they were grown ups.
This is the kind of content that people should leave a comment about how it should be on the History Channel.
thanks for watching!
Wow! Great program and what a gorgeous horse! He is amazing!
I’m going to have to dust of my quitain and polish up my skills after watching this! Wonderful to see you explain how it works as my crossbeam is a bit wobbly but I see that’s normal! Keep those videos coming! #releaseyourinnerviking (even though they didn’t have a quintain)
What a beautiful horse!
I have found myself praising my dog, a Fox Terrier mix we rescued, much more than previously. This should be attributed to watching you work with your animals. Seems to be working, too, unless he sees something that sets off the prey instinct, then it is off to the races, or more likely, the end of the leash.
Enjoy your videos, I have often wondered about that quintain slapping someone in the back, seems the only way that would swing fast enough is to have a spring, or perhaps no weight counterbalance at all? Hollywood nonsense anyway, much like the movie Braveheart.
You and your horses put smiles on my face and happiness in my heart.
Did you get any part in the lord of the rings? 😁
Son of gandalf 😂😂 on the next part.
Love your videos
Greetings and thanks for the cool channel. I think there must be a mechanism/modification to the quintain to allow it to spin only half a turn on each hit, and then stop, ideally. That would save you time and effort, from having to adjust the bar's angle after each successful hit, as I think you often do, based on this video. Ask around, research, you never know. There must be some way though, if I thought of it, surely someone else has before me, and implemented it.
Another excellent video!
I'm really enjoying your videos, do you have anything or any suggestions on medieval archery? I'd like to see more on that.
Love it Jason. Talos is beautiful.
Such a good boy he is!
Saying “good boyyyyy good boyyy” in that manner is very universal 😂
lovely horse, lovely man
These are always very good.
thanks
"This is Talos" May Talos guide you.
"I've tried to have this hit me on the back of the head..."
Thanks, Jason.
Good Video
I have always wondered why there was no shield on your quintaine. Thank you for the explanation! Our quintaine had a small shield but we were all very much amateurs at armes. I wonder if a few cavaletti laid on the ground at the edge of the path of travel would create a visual "lane" to help Talos find his line. (:
That would work if the quintaine were to 'reset' itself to the same position every time it was hit. As his is set up, you have to pick a different line each new run, which would mean you have to move the cavaletti each time you approach. :)
I love how you always show us that horses aren't mindless beasts that charge at a target nonsensically, but frightened creatures that you need to train (a lot!)
I have an idea for a video. I just realiosed that you Jason have an OBE. Maybe you could talk a bit about yourself and how you came to be where you are now. Thanks for the great, really interesting!
Damn I just wanna kiss Talos and give him a huge hug! 🤗
Taos is beautiful. I will likely watch this a few times.
So, you've done a Season 1 of Modern History TV, and now these Knight extras. When's Season 2?
PS. I want those boots.
During the Hundred Years War, most soldiers fought dismounted. So how did they learn to fight dismounted, and how were they recruited into their companies?
Talos is such a handsome horse. He seems like a good boy too.
This is beautiful. I used to think horseriding was for the ladies. Turns out I was quite wrong. Love to see his videos with the horses. Anybody know any Hi-def videos of Jason Jousting by any chance?
Very interesting, and what an awesome horse.
@Modern History TV
Dear Mr. Kingsley OBE,
My name is Bailey Taylor I am a 3rd year University student in the United States. I am absolutely amazed by your videos and they have been very effective in aiding me in understanding one of my classes. I was hoping if you were able that I could ask you a few questions about a few of your videos for a research assignment that I am currently working on. Thank you for your consideration and thank you for your wonderful videos.
Sincerely,
Bailey Taylor
sure, follow me on twitter - @rebellionjason and I can answer there.
how fun!
Good boy!
Nice vid
Something we don't see in movies or videogames. The training horses must go through for knights or any mounted troops to use. Warhorses must be difficult to replace if lost in battle I imagine.
Nice video bro
Amazing video.
This to me is an example of why different horses had different roles and prices during the middle ages. A 14th century riding horse of around £5 won't behave like a fully bred and trained £20 to £52 destrier.
Seeing those values listed threw my brain off for a bit until the realisation hit home, oh yea back then currency is different than it is today. Even 5 pounds would already be quite a lot, close to the yearly wage of many skilled labour jobs if I'm not mistaken.
Jason is a great horseman considering he didn't train in the Cloud District of Whiterun. I would know. I actually advise the Jarl on political matters. My input is invaluable, of course. But this is all probably a bit over your guys' heads.
With only 5k views how do you even manage to have such production!? AWESOME!!!
He received the OBE because he is the founder of a VERY successful video games company. This is how he spends his discretionary income.
Please make a video about medieval horse care and saddles etc
Can someone please get these guys a tv show
Talos is absolutely beautiful.
Just curious did you name Talos after the greek bronze giant or god from d&d/elder scrolls series?
After the Greek bronze giant.
What a sweet horsey :)
Not to be overly pedantic, but the hexagonal thing you were screwing on the top is a nut. The other part is the bolt. 😁
Lol. In my experience, it's not uncommon to use the wrong term. I work with hardware quite a bit, and coworkers will make fun of me, because I'll misname a washer or nut cause I'm lost in thought while trying to explain something.
Update us on Taylor's training. How that good boy doing?
