Love your work, dedication and passion!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a long time viewer. great stuff
I will never ever play that poop
Hope you make video about Karadjordje, serbian uprising. It is important for liberation of Balkans from Ottomans.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
with a nick name like the "black prince" I'm sure Netflix will make a show on him in no time
Oh my sweet summer child.. blacktivists have already claimed he was black😂 based on one portrait that looks like a dark pigment was used, always stealing history whilst screaming ‘cultural appropriation’😁
They are going to cast Kevin Hart
Didn't they make a movie like that with Martin Lawrence?
@@daemontargaryen6757 remember Troy black Achilles and Zeus 😂😂😂😂
@@Ironmike2233 if they cast Samuel L Jackson as cussing Zeus. I'll watch it.
And with this Raid, Edward became a "Shadow Legend".
This truly is what happened.
oh very droll haha

Get out!
Cringe overload.
The local populations must have felt incredibly betrayed by John Count of Armagnac and his army standing back and watching at a distance while this raid ravaged and ransacked town after town …
Yes, such a brutal dynamic. If the Lord preserved his forces, he could at least maintain order in the aftermath, though his inaction undermined the basis of the social contract. If the Lord risked battle and lost, things could get much worse.
In cases when Chevauchee's were engaged and destroyed, the retribution on the defeated was terrible.
@@peterlynchchannel great points and perspective
Yeah they must have loved Edward 😏
Agreed but Armagnac had some opportunities to cut off the black prince and wait for the battle on a chosen ground... The middle age armies were a bit pitiful...
@@vermicelledecheval5219you mean armies usually led my royal twats who don’t know anything act badly when engaged? Never would’ve guessed.
Yeah they were pitiful.
i love the moment when Edward said "Its chevauchee time" and chevaucheed all over southern france
Yes, always a blast.
History marche one of my fav history channels. Your work are brilliant . Love you guys. A huge fan of u from sri lanka.
Hi dear neighbour🤚
Their not gonna bang you bro
that's why, even almost one century later no quarter was accorded to english footmen after Formigny battle.
Hmm.. little mercy was shown to foot soldiers of either side during the 100 Years War.
It was the aristocracy who were worth ransom.
This whole tactic had a French name; it's what William the Bastard did in 1066, in order to get Harold to fight before gathering his entire forces.
If only Harold had been just a little bit more like the Count of Armagnac...
@@adventussaxonum448It is not only a tactic. What can motivate a yeoman to participate to such an expedition ? Religion ? Land and castle or social elevation ? Defense of his territory ? No. The motivation was pillage and to do all was is reprouved in normal times . This kind of expedition have been organised on multiple time during this war: 1355,1356,1359,1360,1369,1370,1373,1380... . That's how they unified France...against an hated ennemy !
@@alexbardoux7297WTF are you talking about? Every man was sworn to a lord, service wasn't an option for either side.
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 You're confusing military service/discipline in the 18th century and middle age . Do you believe crusader obeyed to Godefroy Of Bouillon in the sack of Jerusalem ? There are dozens of example like this. How many time did noble loose control of lower class fighters in middle age when taking a town or village ? ....every time .
@@alexbardoux7297no I know exactly what I'm talking about. Warfare was highly organised in the Hundred Years War with professional armies emerging. Groups of lads didn't decide to go on a weekend jolly of pillaging in France.
Poor Tolouse, as it did not suffer enough. Albigensian Crusade, Black Death, Capital of Inquisition and this raid.
People these days tend to remember leading figures such as Black Prince and French counterparts. And tend to forget the misery and catastrophy that happened to the populace.
Gold of Tolosa curse is forever upon Toulouse.
The inquisition was a good thing.
Well said 👍
@@guamcounty How to say you're a teenager without actually saying that you're a teenager.
You can even say that perhaps they were always meant to lose
So, what do you do if you have a bigger army, and the enemy invades your land?
Well apparently, if your French you watch and run away.
Wow, not challenging Edwards crossing of the rivers, even on his way back, sure was a decision.
We want more medieval and byzantine videos
It took John I THREE YEARS to retake HALF of Quercy? Tiny little Quercy...
I would love to see a piece on the Jacquerie, after Poitiers, of course. But can you imagine living in France in the winter of 1356-57? Like, the Black Death was 8 years ago, the Little Ice Age is still picking up steam (so to speak), the Church is helpless and obviously kinda corrupt, there's nobody to call out any little old baronet for anything they do, everybody just picked up a giant bill for King Jean's ransom, and almost every knight or noble with a fee of any sort is either brand new, unable to fight, a demonstrated coward, or owes another giant ransom tab for themselves. Yikes!
As all the rapine, plunder, pillage, tillage, carnage, hacking, sacking, torching and whatnot goes on in the traditional manner the Byzantines meanwhile, blind the several thousands of (Bulgari?) survivors remaining following the army's annihilation, leaving every tenth man a single eye that he may lead a blinded platoon home. Having cheered 30,000 the cream of the nation to war, a few thousand mutilated invalided and dependent young men return by the 10.
Amazingly well developed doctrine of "totally crushing victory" by our medieval ancestors, this being norm.
Maurice Druon did a great job detailing just how bad this time was for French peasants in his books. Year after year of failed harvests and hard winters.
And even without war, famine was sweeping the land next to plagues. The European population was about to hit its low point, which happened in England 10 years after the peak of the black death. It really was the spitting image of the end of the world
@@charlesc.9012 The Black Death did not harm the Ottomans while they were living in cities. Why?
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j They did. The black death of the 12th century hit the Persians and Arabs first
My God, the loss of life and infrastructure even for those times would have been unthinkable. The Count of Armaniac had to answer the chalenges of battle. Such thing could not go unanswered
Back then, people grew up around death, with a 75% child mortality rate and a high maternal death rate. They also slaughtered their own (often young) animals every autumn, the very ones they slept next to all year and cuddled as calves. They were hard people, no matter where you lived and grew up.
If you were also illiterate and did not receive an education, you mind would naturally be filled with animalistic violence and a total disregard towards life.
Even today, people growing up in slums are far more violent than the dandy posh children, but times back then were far harder than any slum today, because the black death came with continent-wide famine caused by the little ice age
The Count of Armagnac had a chance to defeat them in detail had he routinely scouted the areas.
Edward the Black Prince earning his Black Air Forces this episode
HistoryMarche I can’t wait for your next video episodes next week such as:
Prince Eugune of Savoy (Part 5)
The Anarchy (Part 4)
Basil II, the Bulgar Slayer (Part 3)
Third Crusade (Part 2)
Hannibal (Part 20)
Rise of Caesar Augustus (Part 6)
All these episode was awesome to watch ❤❤❤.
Awesome video as always man! Can'r wait for the sequel: the black prince's finest hour, Battle of Poitiers.
love the detail on these videos, i really love it thanks for the effort put in 🙏🏽
John I deserved execution. His refusal to challenge Edward means he effectively murdered everyone killed during the raid.
That's a really dubious reasoning. The ones who murdered everyone killed during the raid were the raiders themselves, not anyone else.
IMO John was wise to avoid fighting the English in the open. Edward had mobility advantage so John could not realistically capture/destroy the entire English army even if he won a battle against the invaders. On the other hand, if John lose an open battle, he might lose his entire army, which basically meant loss of Toulouse, and perhaps the entire region with it.
Sometimes Fabian strategy is the only viable option.
Ofc John should have anticipated English movement and prepare better defense of the region (e.g. fortifying towns, etc), instead of just hurtling down in Tolouse.
Pretty sure it was Edward who killed those people.
Your reasoning implies that westerners are responsible for terror attacks because we refuse sharia.
War on terror ,coups supporting autocracy for oil etc. Not that I condone terrorism just understand blow back
What do you know what people deserve? Everyone was cruel during the medieval ages. With life expectancy at 29 the value of life was pretty low and if it gets that low again you'll become a savage too
The 14th and 15th centuries were, I think, the final centuries with constantly fascinating battles because artillery and firearms hadn’t taken over yet.
This history channel is the best , I wish everyone was watching. With history classes in schools being so shallow these programs could help greatly.
It was informative, thrilled watching 👀 and an excellent introduction..of this remarkable episode....thank you( history Marche )channel for sharing
Oh wow❤ thank you so much, I was waiting for this one
Amazing as always! And thanks for remaking old videos HM!
Thanks for this interesting prog about this beautiful and rich region which I know well. I have visited Toulouse and Carcassonne and more than a few of the other towns many times and will do again soon.
I've read a couple of good historical novels based in this region so the facts of your video are all the more vivid.
Great stuff! I really like this channel! Keep up the excellent work!
Terrific video with accessible maps. Love it.
It should read that"he was nothing if not enthusiastic at the prospect."😊
The narrator is just superb!
Could be wrong, but pretty sure it's AI?
@@robertabblebaum7813not AI he's a real person named David Mcallion
love this channel
Another incredible video of History Marche.
It's crazy to think about wars that lasted decades- 30 years war, 80 years war, Napoleonic wars and the 100 years war
Living your whole life just knowing war,
it seems all Europe knew was war until after WW2 (There's also the cold war the broke out world wide after WW2)
Very little times of peace, and those times were spent getting ready for the next conflict 🤔
Western Europe has known peace for more than 70 years now. Possibly the longest time in History so far.
That's just the history of the world. Peace is an ideal War is a fact.
Panzers be rolling into the East again. Good times are back boys!!
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 Yep that's a scary thought, at least Poland and Germany would be on the same side this time
They fought very differently back then. They had campaign seasons, they would fight a lot of small scale battles and every now again have major battles. Modern full scale fully mobilized countries seem to completely destroy one another within 4 or 5 years.
I love mid 14th century . Hope one day you can make about Charles IV HRE and Casimir lll
As always, love the video.
Closest thing to English horse archers
This Channel is the best !
Love your work!
I love this channel! It educates me way better than reading an arcticle with 500 pages! Keep up the great work! Also could you make more 1700+ AD videos please? Thanks!
You are great channel ❤! Keep with good work. Hope you make some vids about Karadjordje, serbian uprising from Ottomans. Thx to him idea of free Balkans from Ottomans was born. He was great military commander and strategist.
Great stuff !
Awesome work!
Great video, as usual
Yes. HistoryMarche decides to remake their very first video. If so, remake also the Battle of Pontiers
Great vid 👍
Very interesting stuff. Thank you.Was Henry V a relative of the Black prince?
Fk love this channel. Every video looks like a movie

What happened to Battle of Poitiers part 1 on your Hundred Years War playlist?
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
Díky!
Thank you so much for the support. Very kind of you!
Will you continue the rise of Caesar Augustus series since you left it off at the battle of mutina, will you continue on with it and cover the Perusian revolt and his war with sextus Pompey
Always interesting.
20:42 waka waka waka waka waka waka
You guys should remake the crecy video cuz honestly it doesn't look nearly as good as your modern videos!
Awesome video btw.
Love your 100 Years war work man! The Black Prince really was the Scourge of France. He was awesome!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
How can you celebrate such a man? are you out of your mind.
He was a b.utcher. Thank God, England lost the war and was utterly d.evastated by 30 years of Civil War! YEEESSS!!! 🤩🥰😎
Your voice alone made me watch the AD 😂😂
Can you make about khaybar battle plz
Btw love you're video's ❤🎉
Can you please make a video about the third servile war
1300-1400 was some of the craziest times to read about.
With this comment I petition the Almighty Algorithm to bless the holy prophet, History Marche!
I thought this sounded familiar - this is a very nice update to the original Chevauchee video!
But still, I am wondering how in heck Armagnac kept his position after doing *nothing* and letting a quarter of France get ruined. You're RIGHT THERE, man, why aren't you doing anything?
And all the facepalms to him not being around for the river fording. You mean to tell me he didn't have scouts coming back and saying "Uh, sir, thought you might wanna know..."
If you have an army, but if you lose this army, things will go wrong again
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j
But they are going wrong already. What Worth has an Army that isnt used ?
@@vinz4066 If this army was destroyed, the situation would get very bad, but the French commander knew this, but the Norman Black Prince had to be renewed by the Vikings, so he was plundering the villages, and when he faced an army, he reckoned
He absolutely did a lot of mistakes but if he lost his army there would be nothing stopping Edward from going for the bigger cities and castles and eventually conquest
Good
What a brave hero Armagnac was.😅
Prince Edward's great grandfather Edward the 1st Hamer of the Scots would have been proud!!!
Prince Edward: "i won't siege Toulouse, because when I lay siege, I only do it to win!".
His aides: "so.... We should go around Toulouse?"
Prince Edward: "No. When I go around, I only ever do that to win too!"
quick tip. When you use google translate for making those bubles translating the needs of the population. Don't translate words that make sens in english like "leave" cause the translation in french of "partir" doesn't make sense. Maybe translate phrases like "we need to leave" or "go home you english thieves". That way it will make sens no matter the language.
Anyway, a top notch video of great quality. I love this channel
Good vid,but how much,was the Languedoc region still recovering from the excesses of tha Albigensian Crusade from the previous century ? 😐
How much? About 74 imo.
A great example of Total War !
Isn't this a re-release of an older video? I could have sworn that you guys did this video a couple years ago?
PLEASE, continue the hannibal series
good vid
Armagnac got no spine
A king, who fails to protect his people is no king at all. With such thinking in respect of John II's and his lieutenants failure to do anything to stop the Black Prince's catastrophic destructive rampage across France in 1355. Meant, that the following year, such spineless inaction couldn't be repeated the next year leading to France's worst defeat at Poitiers.
Showing the value of Chevauchee as a very useful war strategy when it came to destroying the enemies, economic and political ability to resist further,
After 1360, most rides will be failures.
@@thibaultsardet7399 True, as French finally got wise to the English tactics and learnt how to counter them.
However, they would make a comeback in the early 1400s and be used successfully in 1412 and most notably in 1415. As Agincourt would prove only too well.
@@wedgeantillies66 Yes, but knowing that there was a civil war between Armagnacs and Burgundians dividing the Kingdom of France, plus the fact that the King was mad and unfit to control powerful nobles, but too proud to create a symbiosis, it doesn't didn't help either.
This did not kill the French chivalry however, as they essentially destroyed the corps of longbowmen at Patay in 1429. The wheel had turned, in the end it was the English who still adopted the same tactics, where the French had changed . It took longer than expected to abandon the old feudal chivalric traditions, in order to become more pragmatic.
@@thibaultsardet7399 True and there were certainly weakness in the French court and Kingdom, that Henry V, took advantage of, when renewing the war. Weakness that the English war effort, would suffer from themselves in the last two decades of the war, except for the civil war part.
Patay didn't destroy the longbow corps at all, as they would continue to be deployed in large numbers until the wars end. In fact the longbow and English tactics being still deadly up until the 1440s. With it being a testament to how effective they were that in order to defeat them, France had to create a profession army and corps of artillery to defeat them in the final battles of the war.
Nice
Armagnac dares asking for an exmption from taxes after his sorry leadership of the army. He thought himself fabian with all this shadow marking and doing nothing else
If you were the commander of this army, what would you do?
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j Oppose the Prince's army when they were trying to cross the river, sure anything west of the river would be pillaged but thats a way better alternative compared to what happened in the video.
exciting.
Nice job! (sacrifice to the algorythm)
MI-RON-DA. NO--GA-RO.... I'M DEAD JAHHAHAHAHA
I have too many arm freckles to tell if i have it or not
Who makes your maps?
Algorithm. Machine Spirit.. Same thing. The Emperor Protects!
Four horsemen yeah!😊
Who’s got the best voice? Epic History, Kings & Generals or History Marche?
I can’t decide!!
Someone being called Black prince is an honor for courage, gallantry, brilliance and ambition!
You mean killing civilians and farmers is cowardly and evil
Most young Englishmen that went to France, did not do harm, they occupied and mixed with the local women
With local women consent or not ?
@@robert-surcouf some ofc consented, but sadly much of it was probably against her will.
@@Angelcynn_2001 I think the mating with gascon women were more or less consented as the duchy was pro english and these ones didn't want to lose valuable allies.
For women outside of gascony, not so much, especially for the chevauchées.
