For clarification, I don't believe that Metatron was saying it was incorrect that you and your friends were armed and armored as peasants as he has talked about what weapons and armor peasants would have had access to in medieval times a few times on his channel. I believe he thought, like I did, that based on the title of the video this short film would revolve around a knight fighting the common working peasant going about their daily life. Metatron stating that they are "recruited" simply meant that these were no longer your average free tenant or serf but rather those that had been called on to fight in some capacity. BTW, Dash Rendar introduced me to your channel a little bit ago and I have been a big fan. Keep up the great work and thanks for lending him the armor to test.
The weapons from dominus gladus are made of various materials, do they come combat ready? Or are they flimsy things you have to harden yourself afterwards?
It fits perfectly for someone who would take an excited shot at a knight. It's like an inexperienced infantry man taking a shot at a tank. Takes the shot. Gives away his position. Gets the squad/company killed.
@@simpleheros What a great analogy. It's like, yeah- you messed up one of the thermal modules on the main gun with a lucky m203 shot. Good luck against the CROWS system.
@@dequitemAragorn aus dem Schwarzwald :D oder von wo ihr euch auch immer rumtreibt 😅 Sehr cooles Projekt! :) lustigerweise ist das sehr nah an dem dran was ich mir angefangen habe vorzustellen, wie so ein Video aussehen und ablaufen müsste, als ich letztens das Video von Shadiversity gesehen habe, was auch schon cool war, aber nicht an sowas wie das hier ran kommt. (Die haben das aber auch wohl in wenigen Stunden an einem Tag gemacht)
Such a cool begins the scenes. The amount of effort and planning that goes into a 4 min video is truly admirable and remarkable. You are one of the absolute best my dude 💪🏹
You improve a lot by just talking a foreign language, even if you're not studying it in the meantime. I noticed it doing exactly the same. Started talking english with someone on the phone, and I was improving at every new call.
I love how you explained all the reasoning behind the scenes for how the short film was shot. Like why the crossbowman took off his mail for the ambush. It really adds depth to the story. You should consider doing more of these.
There's been a video out of Ukraine of two soldiers ending up hand to hand with a knife. This reminds me a bit of that. The brutality of that fight... there was biting involved. I don't recommend watching it, but it seems like something you'd be interested in. Your comment on figuring your dead so why run; a friend of mine pointed out that behind every medal of valor, there was probably a moment where the man said "fuck it". And as a self defense guy, I like to point out to people that the guys who have been awarded the kinds of medals that are usually awarded posthumously weren't some species of supermen. They were regular guys in a bad situation and anybody is capable of a moment like that.
On the flip side. That dude in plate is down a horse, has his full helmet on, and has just fought four guys to the death, if you run away you've got a great shot of outpacing him as he's probably pretty winded, possibly wounded, and likely gonna gas out before you do. Like Dequitem said, when the first two guys died the others should have run. Though, I will say, I have always maintained that there's no one more dangerous than someone whose pretty damn sure they're already dead. They will throw caution to the wind and just go for it, and maybe it's over for them, but that doesn't mean they can't end it for you too.
What a treat this behind the scenes footage is! Thanks a million for all the work and love put into this channel. It most certainly mustn't be easy, but i hope you all know it is always appreciated.
One of the best videos of unchoreographed fights. One of the best reaction videos I’ve watched in a long time. Moreover, this is THE first captivating reaction-to-reaction video I’ve ever seen. Hats off to you.
That short movie is nothing short of a masterpiece, I hope it spurrs a whole new genre, with the support of Dequitem and Metatron let's bring our heritage alive and give it a brand new life!
This video was an absolute treat. Thank you for all you do Dequitem, and may you ever avoid injury! (My friend and I always compete to see who can send your video to the other first when you have a new upload, and we're spreading your videos around since more people need to see your incredible work!)
I would love to see you all do even MORE of these small films. I only learned of your channel through Metatron and I love it! I disagree on the number of shots you could get off, especially after watching videos like the ones Todd put out. It is certainly possible for someone to be able to reload the crossbow faster (given it's a goat's foot and not something like a windlass; and maybe get off two shots in that scenario. Maybe not as likely, but it's not impossible from other videos I've seen.
8:20 I have still to fully read Wehrpflichten und Heerfolge im Spätmittelalter ("draft and ban in the late Middle Ages", a new book about these topics in the HRE from a reenactor studying primary sources), but I read enough to know that the requirements for a villager could be the same as a city citizen of teh same tax bracket. And that villages had to provide war wagons in case of war. (usual HRE variety included, obviously)
hey dude, I haven’t been watching for that long to be fair, and I don’t know how long you’ve been speaking English but it seems your pronunciation and confidence speaking has improved greatly! gotta respect anyone who learns this weird language, as I’ve heard it’s one of the hardest to learn. as a non-bilingual person, hats off!
I love the near-inevitable eccentricities that slip in with second languages! Additionally, as someone who has reached a basic conversational level in a second language, I highly appreciate your English.
I watched the video and I wish you guys made a movie with such realistic scenes. No Hollywood crap, just fights and a more natural acting like this. Well done!
This behind-the-scenes is great! It's gonna help when I show the fight video to my German mother, who loves things like this. Just need her to stop gossiping with her cousin in Munich. =.= I've been obsessed with your work, and only started watching yesterday!
I'm a "noble one" and really enjoyed this video! Einfach geil! I admire your commitment and lack of ego... you don't always win a fight, which makes sense! Sehr gute arbeit, wenn es auch fucking kalt ist! Danke und prost!
Amazing fight awesome content. Also the reaction is so important, such a great time to follow historical eras for accurrate details beween two credible channels. You guys be careful out there we want to see more!👏👏👏
This stuff is awesome, I would love more content simply examining these fights. The depth of the strategies you all put into your duels astounds me every time I watch them. Please continue to do your amazing work, Dequitem!
Love your videos. I last did Medieval living history about 9 years ago. Still have most of my 15th cent kit although majority is for a surgeon. I do have a few bits of armour like a sallet, bevor, breastplate, gambeson etc, but now 56 and the bones ache so I am living vicariously through you! I sent Metatron a link to your channel but hundreds others probably did the same too. Might meet you on the field one day in the future but take it easy on this old Yorkshireman!
Hey there Dequitem a fantastic analysis of this clip. Metatron made some good comparisons too. Many thanks from a fellow welshman, the land of the Welsh longbow. 🙂 like other folks say in the comment's you guys may have to take up part-time acting 😅 hehe.
I fully thought that the dialogue about the crossbow being jammed was just being unable to fully pull it back or something, didn't know it could actually jam!
I found your channel from this video by Metatron! Wow, this is such a good channel!. That knight was like a grizzly bear wading into a pack of dogs. After seeing several videos exploring the effects of medieval weapons on armor its good to see it enacted with as much realism as is practical. AND such beautiful shots! Wow. I'm now a huge fan.
I loved the original video, I always shared it with friends who also enjoy knights and paladins in stories. I've always enjoyed depictions of combat pre gunpowder AND PERHAPS even post gunpowder! The group fights actually help me visualise as a DM how to make your everyday hired muscle a little less yellowshirty but reflect different levels of fighter competence and level of readiness. I would love it if you covered ANYTHING Landsknecht. Like Reislaufer (forgive the lack of umlaut) V Landsknecht or either of the former V Condotierre. Grossen respekt und weiter so!
So glad I found this channel. Some of the best medieval content out there hands down. Someone needs to hand you a ton of money to make a legit movie lol
In regards to Metatron's comment on the crossbowman's accuracy. I think he was just pointing out that just because he can hit a horse doesn't necessarily mean he can make a very accurate shot on an armored opponent. After all, he may have been aiming for the knight and hit the horse. He didn't say that he was good because the horse died. It was just meant as an illustration that yeah, he hit a horse, but that's a much larger target than a weak spot on a knights armor. I'm more surprised that the knight was unharmed after possibly being thrown from his horse. As for the crossbow, it seems that everyone equates it with a gun. If it was garanteed to penetrate armor, they would have been everywhere in even greater numbers, and armor would have fallen out of use much sooner.
I wasn't attacking him there I wanted to give more informations about this topic. When a höre dies from that kind of bolt (if it doesn't hit the brain), the horse needs time to die, you can defenetly leave the horseback without injuries in most scenarios!
Lots of comments thinking that the crossbow was the game changer, the only thing that could've killed the knight but that's just straight up false. With just a glance you can see that it is a relatively comparatively small crossbow, there is just no chance that it can pierce proper hardened steel armor or even pack a punch that could K.O the knight, and they knew this.
@@dequitem yooo thanks for answering and yeah, knights knew the strength and weaknesses of their gear better than anyone else. If I'm confident of my armor I'd be the guy who would say "go ahead, you have one chance" and I don't need evidence to know that many knights were this confident, how can they not? They were literally killing machines trained for war since childhood
@dequitem Quick reply back, nice. I wasn't attacking you either or saying you were attacking Metatron. I was more responding to other comments. What I meant by the rider getting injured was that if the horse unexpectedly reared up or bucked due to its injury and the knight fell off. I am very glad the algorithm finally brought your channel to my attention. Now, I can be an armchair knight! 😄
Long hair always made a nice cushion beneath whatever skullcap I’m wearing during practice when I forgot to bring a coif or balaclava type head wrapping
And into someone lapping up the drivel fed on Joe Rogan. Simultaneously putting himself on a pedestal as the pinnacle and judge of academia. It seems to me he has gone the same way TIK and Shad did and has lost his sense for science, as well as his humility, and my subscription.
@PalleRasmussen HUH? Hasn't Metatron done videos disputing the insane claims made by Joe Rogan's guests? I'm confused by your claims. Similar with TIK, what's he said that's inaccurate? I understand you disagree with their political views but I'm not sure they're any less accurate than Matt Easton or Skallagrim.
I'm following your channel for a lot of time and can say - amazing work, man! Very well composed videos and I love how realistic they are. When I saw the first Metatron video I was - YES! Very happy that your two channels meet and looking forward for more content.. Maybe some crossover or team work in the future? I guess will be nightmare to organize, but still.. man can dream =] By the way.. the only problem that I have with this and the original film is.. the helmet. I'm sure that in general combat history there is a moment when the helmet is not fitting well, or the soldier is not using the strap, but it's just really hard to believe moment to ambush a knight and then run with your helmet unsecured.. Anyway.. everything else was amazing and really hope that you share the video of the first fight. Some of the scenes that you share here look awesome.
@@dequitem - yeah.. you are probably right. Also.. a brigand can wear it without a strap, because he loot it that way or is just careless. I thought for that after I already commented, but still.. I'm happy that you answer. Cheers! =]
Love the original video it would be amazing to see you some more videos from you with different scenarios with multiple combatants and different levels of armament
I've seen deer run for miles after being fatally hit with an arrow, and they are far smaller than a draft horse. also, if you can cover your metal in the cold, you'd be a fool not to. it can hold heat, it can also transfer cold
That sword is basically a metal club to knock the knight off balance or to daze him before half-swording to convert the sword into a large dagger. If you are lucky.
19:11 I can tell you from experience, adrenaline is one hell of a pain killer. Everyone is different though. Long story short, my squad and I were raiding a house. An IED was hidden in the outer wall below waist height. It detonated. My team leader lost one leg instantly (second hand to be amputated) and he didn't feel the pain initially. That's also shock. Another guy had multiple shrapnel wounds and his legs broken from ankle to femus. He was in pain. I'd go through each (13 total wounded) but you get the picture. As for me, I was dizzy and had a fucking headache. I had tingling sensation in one of my legs (19 pieces of minor shrapnel) but that was the extent initially. Afterwards it felt like I was in a terrible car crash. TL;DR adrenaline and shock can dampen your reading of pain.
I love the helmet you wear, how did you make it and would you ever consider making a tutorial? it's a style that shows up relatively often in sources but very little in reenactment circles.
Fairly realistic. If these guys had practiced fighting an armored knight, they'd almost certainly have won. Three guys facing him with the man-catcher to hold him, while the fourth guy circles behind him and hits those weak points. But they were surprised, probably weren't disciplined fighters who had planned out "emergency action drills". Would like to see a rerun of the fight where the "Brigands" ambush the knight and have a plan and aren't surprised.
would it have made sense to just play chase with the knight until he is tired, drag the fight out over a couple hours and stay a comfortable distance. Then work to get the knight on the ground?

A brigand with a smartphone doing a response video. What a time to be alive.
I also believe metatron is out of his depth critiquing an actual medieval man :D
These dang time travelers!
And he owns a castle.
I think the crossbow jamming was amazing coincidence, the panic from your voice felt genuine from an acting perspective
It fits perfectly for someone who would take an excited shot at a knight. It's like an inexperienced infantry man taking a shot at a tank. Takes the shot. Gives away his position. Gets the squad/company killed.
It also foreshadowed the tragic issue of the fight: as much as the rope wasn't willing to get armed, nothing is going to go according to plan.
Metatron is like, Nando from What We Do in the Shadows, if Nando was a virgin.
@@simpleheros What a great analogy. It's like, yeah- you messed up one of the thermal modules on the main gun with a lucky m203 shot. Good luck against the CROWS system.
"I detached all my mail parts" was a shocking admission if you forgot for a second the theme of the video.

Metatron's slowly developing into a reaction-to-reaction-to-reaction channel. ;)
I think he should do weekly uploads again, I really miss the deep dives
And into someone lapping up the drivel fed on Joe Rogan. Simultaneously putting himself on a pedestal as the pinnacle and judge of academia.
It seems to me he has gone the same way TIK and Shad did and has lost his sense for science, as well as his humility, and my subscription.
@PalleRasmussen HUH? Hasn't Metatron done videos disputing the insane claims made by Joe Rogan's guests? I'm confused by your claims. Similar with TIK, what's he said that's inaccurate?
I understand you disagree with their political views but I'm not sure they're any less accurate than Matt Easton or Skallagrim.
He still does them from time to time but YT algorithm forced him to do daily stuff.@prestonyannotti7661
He's always been like that
I'm following your channel for a lot of time and can say - amazing work, man! Very well composed videos and I love how realistic they are.
When I saw the first Metatron video I was - YES! Very happy that your two channels meet and looking forward for more content.. Maybe some crossover or team work in the future?
I guess will be nightmare to organize, but still.. man can dream =]
By the way.. the only problem that I have with this and the original film is.. the helmet. I'm sure that in general combat history there is a moment when the helmet is not fitting well, or the soldier is not using the strap, but it's just really hard to believe moment to ambush a knight and then run with your helmet unsecured..
Anyway.. everything else was amazing and really hope that you share the video of the first fight. Some of the scenes that you share here look awesome.
Wearing the helmet without a strap system is historical accurate. There are many helmets without a strap.
@@dequitem - yeah.. you are probably right. Also.. a brigand can wear it without a strap, because he loot it that way or is just careless. I thought for that after I already commented, but still.. I'm happy that you answer.
Cheers! =]
Where did you dispose the bodies of the defeated individuals?
Stupid question. There’s a lake right there.
I'm really curious how a bunch of knights would fight against another bunch of knights during a field battle.
just watch buhurt videos, it's the closest you can get legally
Polearms are how you hurt people in armor, beyond that half swording, then grappling and daggers.
cavalry and archers even the odds a bit
@@userb1x1 combined arms is always a win.
You should come over to Britain there're historians and reenactors who run battles in full plate harness every year ☺️
Love the original video it would be amazing to see you some more videos from you with different scenarios with multiple combatants and different levels of armament
Mayby one day!
So glad he found your channel, was spamming his comments with your channel name haha
Metatron has some taste liking your video Dequitem. Subbed too.
Yeah give me all the behind-the-scenes 🖤⚔️
There are some photos on the channels of my friends!
I hope Dequitems car is a short walk away, it looks cold out there.
A good old reacception!
That was great!
I really would love to see the version where the knight looses. It's good to be reminded that the knight knew he was walking into danger.
He posted a vid on shorts where the brigands win
For those who haven't experienced the forests of Germany in winter...the cold drinks your body heat like a vampire!
it would be so good to see a crossbow vs plate test
It would be awesome to see the rest of the fights that ended up on the cutting floor.
It's out as a short on my channel.
I've seen deer run for miles after being fatally hit with an arrow, and they are far smaller than a draft horse. also, if you can cover your metal in the cold, you'd be a fool not to. it can hold heat, it can also transfer cold
Absolutely!
That messer appearing again ❤❤
It's a beautiful pavel moc Kriegsmesser.
@dequitem it is truly stunning my favourite type of sword paired with a cinquedae for the bling value would be my choice
That sword is basically a metal club to knock the knight off balance or to daze him before half-swording to convert the sword into a large dagger. If you are lucky.
😄thanks for this video!
superb stuff
This is awesome. Hollywood could learn a thing or two or five or fifty from you.
hello Dequitem I find your videos very good and also very interesting I am looking forward to the next videos have a Great day
19:11 I can tell you from experience, adrenaline is one hell of a pain killer. Everyone is different though.
Long story short, my squad and I were raiding a house. An IED was hidden in the outer wall below waist height. It detonated. My team leader lost one leg instantly (second hand to be amputated) and he didn't feel the pain initially. That's also shock. Another guy had multiple shrapnel wounds and his legs broken from ankle to femus. He was in pain. I'd go through each (13 total wounded) but you get the picture. As for me, I was dizzy and had a fucking headache. I had tingling sensation in one of my legs (19 pieces of minor shrapnel) but that was the extent initially. Afterwards it felt like I was in a terrible car crash.
TL;DR adrenaline and shock can dampen your reading of pain.
And now we wait for the response to the response video...
I wonder how long THAT will be.
I am actually interested. But everything has an end.
Metatron brought me here❤
I love the helmet you wear, how did you make it and would you ever consider making a tutorial? it's a style that shows up relatively often in sources but very little in reenactment circles.
Sorry will not make a tutorial. It's to late now.
Congrats! Good stuff.
love tha show!!!
schön zu sehen, das gute deutsche wetter enttäuscht nie 🥰
Haha good video as always, i thought that was a real polearm you got hit with before you explained😅
I would be dead!
I need to go buy full plate now!
was making your scale helm difficult? I've yet to see one being made on the mainstream armor market
Only expensive. If you have to cut out the plates with hand. But it's okay for mass production. The most expensive is the thick leather hat.
Fairly realistic. If these guys had practiced fighting an armored knight, they'd almost certainly have won. Three guys facing him with the man-catcher to hold him, while the fourth guy circles behind him and hits those weak points. But they were surprised, probably weren't disciplined fighters who had planned out "emergency action drills". Would like to see a rerun of the fight where the "Brigands" ambush the knight and have a plan and aren't surprised.
I love your videos! Man...PLEASE duel Seki Sensei! He's a legitimate samurai...that would be AMAZING to see!
He is a little bit old for a fair fight.
@dequitem He's still highly skilled though...idk man, I still think it would be cool. You know your stuff though.
I'm sure the rubber was not fully flexible in that weather. Might have been more realistic than usual.
Great Video
would it have made sense to just play chase with the knight until he is tired, drag the fight out over a couple hours and stay a comfortable distance. Then work to get the knight on the ground?
