Kings and Generals animated historical animated documentary series on the Hundred Years' War continues with a video on the aftermath of the battle of Poitiers ( • Battle of Poitiers 135... ). This video will focus not on the French resurgence during the reign of Charles V, the battle of La Rochelle fought in 1372, the Franco-Castillian alliance, and some of the deeds of the best French commander during the war - Bertrand du Guesclin, as well as the lull in the war due to the internal problem both English and French were having, alongside the change in the ruling dynasty in England.

#Documentary #Poitiers #HundredYearsWar
This is a strange and difficult period to cover in the Hundred Years' War series, but we believe that the way we have covered it will allow us to transition from Crecy and Poitiers to Agincourt, Orleans, Formigny, and Castillon. Eventually, there will be a looooong stitched episode, that will feature the battles of the War of the Breton Succession, Castilian Civil War, and, most importantly, Bertrand du Guesclin's most famous battle - Pontvallain.
How is the video posted 8 minutes ago but the comment is posted 10 hours ago?
@@andreymudik2905 Patreon suporters have watched it before us
@@RodolfoGaming ah, makes sense
Can you also at least mention Verneuil? It was a significant and decisive battle of the war that contemporaries called the 2nd Agincourt. It is very overlooked
The war of Breton Succession? Combat of the thirty too maybe?
I feel that showing one episode of Kings and Generals per week to students at school would automatically explode their thirst for historical knowledge.
If instead of learning "history" at school i watched medieval CZcams videos, i'd be historian now 100%.
Shame there was no CZcams back then...
but this is only military history which is like 15% of the picture
@@babyfaec exactly
@@babyfaec Military history is usually more fascinating..
The point is that through something more fascinating (which would take like 25 minutes a week) many might feel intrigued to maybe explore other aspects (e.g. political or social) of a certain time period in which some battle or campaign took place.
@@babyfaec the point is to get them interested.
It's a shame that the battles of Cocherel (1364), Pontvallain (1370) and Rosebeeke (1382) aren't covered in detail.
These deserve much attention imo. Their omission in contrast to the attention English victories get contribute to make it seem as if the French were tactically and technologically inferior throughout the period.
In case anyone is interested:
At Cocherel Bertrand du Guesclin won the day by performing two successive charges with a feigned retreat (which baited the English into pursuit) and a flanking charge with his reserves.
At Pontvallain not only did the French caught the English off guard before they could fortify a favourable position in a hilltop but their advancements in horse armor undermined the effectiveness of the English arrows, leading to a succesful frontal charge.
At Rosebeeke the French crushed a great Flemish army with a double Cavalry enveloptment.
because there isnt enough time, every single english victory wasn't shown either
@@jnes624 and yet, it is important to pay attention to them as they are key to deepen our understanding on how this conflict really played out.
Judging by how they are going to dedicate an episode to Pontvallain I'd say there is time.
@@jnes624 there isn't enough time? this isn't a history channel series that needs to condense 100 year periods into easily digestible hourly slots that are easy enough to understand to cater to a wide audience, they can literally go as deep as they're willing to research
@puckay I did, what's your point buddy?
@puckay Yeah I read it afterwards and Im happy they're going to cover Pontvallain but I stand by my main point as im a bit sick of the overemphasis youtube channels make on the English. But better than nothing ofc.
Bertrand du Guesclin was such a badass. I hope Kings and Generals can do a video on him some day. He won 4 pitched battles against the English, no mean feat!
Five actually
I read about him when I was still a kid. An absolute badass and a personal childhood hero. Please K&G, he deserves his own video.
Dude hard carried France through a good portion of the war.
@@Martijn_Steinpatz You also read those books about him by Thea Beckman? I love those!
He was one of the great captains of medieval Europe & a strong argument could be made in favor of him being the greatest of the 100 Years War.
He was given some epic nicknames as well. "The Black Dog of Broceliande," "The Eagle of Brittany," and "Flail of the English."
"We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip only little by little at a truth we find bitter"
- Denis Diderot
God that describes me so well...
Bertrand du Guesclin was quite the enigmatic figure. Born to a minor Breton nobleman, he was said to have gotten into fights as a youngster and even organized gangs of young men and lead them. Despite this poor reputation however, he did manage to earn his spurs in 1354 when he counted a raid against English marauders during the War of Breton Succession. He would go on to further distinguish himself by using guerilla tactics against the English in France and Breton, which were so successful that it brought him to the attention of Charles V. The French monarch entrusted him to lead French forces in Navarre, Breton and then Castile to help Charles's preferred candidate retain his crown. Then in 1369 when war with England resumed, Charles V appointed du Guesclin Constable of France, such a promotion was unprecedented at the time as this position had always gone to a highborn nobleman, whereas du Guesclin heralded from minor nobility.
Thea Beckman has some books featuring du Guesclin x the time period of the hundred years war but its in Dutch though
he was also buried at st denis the kings of france's burial basilica the only one not from a ruling family i believe...
@@boss180888 yes. I confirm that.
French Hero, with Charles V. That's what a capable general can do when he's supported by a wise monarch, french situation was so bad before Charles V's rule... They did an amazing job.
Dude is doing mount & blade for his life
Ah,good old Spanish and English fighting each other since the XIV century even in France
Not only in France, the castillian armada commanded the England coast raids atributed in the video to just french navy and Sánchez de Tovar even went Up the Thames River Up to burning Gravese south London.
French Spanish and Scottish had united to fight against England in early 15th century still lost more than it got to
@@lastprussian71 England lost all of her possessions in France though. The only renmants of that age are the Crown Dependencies of Jersey and Guernsey, once part of the Duchy of Normandy. In the period between 1400 to 1700, England was a second-rate power, while Portugal, Spain, France, Austria, the Ottoman Empire and for a shorter time the Dutch were the pre-eminent European powers. The balance of power only started to tilt in England’s (by then already Great Britain) favour after the War of Spanish Succession in the early 1700’s. For the next 250 years approximately, Geat Britain would be a true world power, but it mustn’t be forgotten that this was not always the case, and that the British also suffered their own Agincourts and Trafalgars back in the day.
@@alvarogomezvivas7844 I agree with most of what you said, but I wouldn’t call England a second rate power in between 1400 and 1700. It was still a great power during that period, just not a hegemon like Spain and later France were. England was still a force to be reckoned with and the Spanish considered England a major threat under Elizabeth I. But you’re right that England/Britain didn’t truly become the major European power until after the Spanish Succession (although I’d say that the Seven Years War was when it really came into it’s own). Good comment though.
@@lastprussian71 What did Spain Lost? On the contrary, I think its the begining of 333 years of a worldwide empire
Woah, A Naval Battle in Medieval Europe brought to such perfection. Salud!
The english launch raids in France --> K&G: "a great chevauchée!"
the french raid the english coast --> K&G: "viciously plunder and loot"
LOL
both are "vicious chevauchee" mix both words together
Look at battle of Sluys
250 French ships vs 100 English ships all warfare is vicious no side lets their enemy win and propaganda is used on both sides
Hey, it's an anglophone channel. What were you expecting ?
@@lahire4943 sorry its only cause I saw it on Wikipedia
@@lastprussian71 that wasnt the point of my comment, but OK
2:44 Étienne Marcel wasn't just a cloth merchant, he was Provost of the Merchants, which was basically Mayor of Paris (he was in charge of taxable income, supplying the city, etc). His revolt was closely linked with Charles of Navarre's manipulations, and the Grande Jacquerie of 1358.
The conflicts between the two provosts of paris are underrated.
@@ramiromen6595 There was no conflict between two provosts. There was only one provost, Étienne Marcel, and he rose up against the Dauphin with the support of Charles the Bad, trying to implement a controlled monarchy after the failure of the Estates General to impose the Great Ordinance. That coincided with the Grande Jacquerie, and there were attempts at joining forces between the Parisian bourgeois (the merchant class) and the insurgent peasants, but that failed. Marcel's revolt also failed, and he ended up massacred by a Parisian crowd after he was suspected of wanting to let English routiers which had helped him take control of the capital ravage it.
@@samrevlej9331 thanks for the explanation in detail! It was super interesting!
And it was my bad for not being clear, when i said "two provosts" i meant the Royal Provost as well as the Provost of the Merchants
manipulation from Navarre is debatable, but the offers of the Great Ordnance were actually greatly interesting and could have reformed the late feudal society
Next are Caboche and Capeluche.
Bertrand du Guesclin said a famous sentence in Castilla that we hear a lot here in Spain: "yo ni quito ni pongo rey, sólo ayudo a mi señor" (I don't remove or put kings, I just help my lord". He said that when after the battle of Montiel, he supossedly held the arms of Pedro the Cruel so Henry Trastamara could stab him. I believe this Bertrand du Guesclin retired to non other than Mont Saint-Michel. Not bad.
i think he was buried at st denis the royal burial ground
I think pedro the cruel was badly butcher by Henry after a brutal fist fight
@@elpresidente5767 yup, and it is said that Bertrand entered the fight to hold Pedro's arms xD so Henry could stab Pedro
dude got burried in Saint Denis for Christ's sake
This series is incredible.
This should be on Netflix
@@willng1256 if I was a Netflix exec I'd just go into meetings and show these videos as pitches
@@idiotengineer3925 it will be super easy, barely an inconvenience
I need to take a step back that you guys are not actually a major historical network with a billion-dollar budget. I've come to trust what I hear on this channel more than I do anything on actual TV, least of all the history channel
The History Channel shouldn't even be able to call themselves by that name, it's false advertising.
@@skyhappy This is indeed an area HistoryMarche has them beat in (highly recommend their channel btw)
Aliens also intervened in the 100 years war, didn't you know? I saw a documentary about it in the History Channel that featured some of the most reputable history scientists of the world.
@@dangerdan2592 its just a case of companies buying then ruining a channel.
It happened to discovery and it happened to tlc which was “the learning channel”, a channel meant to teach and show documentaries.
Bertrand du Guesclins's motto was that his bravery gave's him what his beauty couldn't
Crusader Kings 2 ptsd runs strong in this one... I remember everytime a strong King in my dynasty dies and left a boy King I see my realm get torn by Civil War...
Succession crisis are the worst.
Shame ck is so easy cuz we'd actually get to see these more
@@DragonwolfoftheSands yea these succession wars felt more like an annoyance than anything else.. Aztecs on the other hand....
@@genericnpc08 They were super good for like 1 patch then Paradox nerfed the shit out of them
Never knew that the Spanish navy defeated the English navy decisively , such a informative video, Hollywood movies give us a very inaccurate picture of the history .
Too much "anglo-version" if you want to be accurate.
@@afisto6647 😅
If you want to know more, just read about Cartagena de indias and Blas de Lezo, in many times Spain defeated their enemies, the only enemy we couldn't defeat are the Spanish traitors in the peninsula and Hispanicamerica.
@@rataxv20 Portugal hehe
Hollywood isn’t supposed to be a substitute for your education. The history has always been there to read for yourself.
Damm Bertrand du guesclin MUST have been covered in greater detail
This guy was the hight of chivarly he defeated several great English Knight in single combat, he took entire forts with a handful of men and won several battles against the English
There a reason he was nickname the "black doge of Britanny"
This is a time of history not covered as much as the famous other English victories. But this is what determined the course for decades to come! Well done!
its normal for a country to focus on victories
@@jnes624 even though they lost the war ?
@@jnes624
The problem with the saxon is their focus about victories and at the same time silenting every others allied contribution.
You have some documentaries who say than the British ad won the African Campaign in WW2, without telling a word about Bir-Hakeim and Mers-el-Kebir
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167
Only truth hurt.
@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167
In France, at school, they didn't learn their History, at the exception of their collaboration with Germany, their massacre (genocide ?) in Algeria, the weakness of a Republic, Islam, China, Greece, Apartheid etc...
Meanwhile in Britain in the other hand, they completly silent their many and incredible military delusion, retreats, act of cowardice and betrayal, and focus with their rare victories.
So your point don't stand.
Incredible job, actually it's the first time i see an history channel go beyond than Crecy and agincourt, so with such quality ...
I’m honestly annoyed really. The english achieved victories that were small in the grand scheme of things. The phrase won the battle, lost the war comes to mind.
Yet the amount of praise going to the english yet almost none to the french is ridiculous. French cavalry were one of the most deadliest charges in medieval history. It was simple yes, but as long as it works, why find a problem where none exists?
The battle of patay saw french cavalry destroy the veteran english longbow men that they would not reconstitute again. The french won the war yet the amount of praise given to the english is just ridiculous. We should challenge that narrative more.
@@v_cpt-phasma_v689 Not just some battles, but if Canada defeated an entire US army or something of equivalent strength to basically the entire French army. Issue is, the way it's put now, England is portrayed as the one that should have won the war, with their invincible longbowmen. Basically the narrative isn't nuanced at all unless Joan of Arc is involved.
@@v_cpt-phasma_v689 Yes england was the underdog, that is not disputed in any way. But we must give credit where its due and give praise to the french as much as we do to the english.
The amount of praise and overanalyzing for poitiers, agincourt and crecy should be toned down a little and maybe focus on french victories as well.
We should respect both sides equally and not spin this tale of the french being incompetent and the english as formidable.
@@v_cpt-phasma_v689 France still came out on top at the end. England inflicted devastating losses to the french yes, but the french still achieved ultimate strategical victory. They achieved their ultimate objective of expelling england from its french territories. That’s what matters for wars. Victory so crushing your enemies will never challenge or come to your doorstep again.
@@v_cpt-phasma_v689 At Patay the English outnumbered the french by far and they were armed with their supposedly invincible archers and the french crushed them losing almost no one and killing so many archers that England would never recover them. Yet look up and see if you find any videos on Patay in youtube. Look how many videos on Agincourt there are.
K&G make a documentary about French resurgence
me : Great ! We'll at last see French victories
K&G : Now let's talk about politics....
@@didierpaya9069 my dear boy, the channel creators are not English. Devin the voice over guy is but he does not write the episodes. Perhaps if you give the channel more time you will see more French victories covered in greater detail. If you remain unhappy with this, I could cover the victory of Guy du Loimbard over the Britons. La Vache tactic is known the world over!
K&G est clairement biaisé. Il n'y a qu'à voir les batailles couvertes ou non, entendre les adjectives utilisés pour décrire les protagonistes, ou encore la contextualisation faite ou manquante. En fait, j'ai noté ça depuis pas mal de temps et les vidéos sur les croisades...
Sacrebleu!
@@Monkey_SK ;-)
@@particuliervdm8603 yes it is...
Unexpected. As a spaniard, thank you for covering this quite unknown battle.
I'm so sick of Spanish and English people arguing online...why can't we be happy we have such fucking awesome history together
@@Swift-mr5zi exactly
The guys who create the videos are not English. Devin just does the voice over work.
@@Swift-mr5zi So you call History this crap of channel? The source of information of this channel is clearly sided, 40% History 40% propaganda 20% lies.
@@alejandrooyamourino1550 chill Gonzalez
I don't like the choice of wording there. Granted as a Proud Frenchmen i can't be absolutely objective, but i can point out when someone else isn't. I won't talk about the fact that "The Black Prince" was seen as a Pinacle of Chivalry despite being the most bloody noble towards local population, but regarding the attack of French boats along English's coast been labelled "Vicious" but not the merciless killings of thousands of thousands innocent people in their own homes is astonishing to me.
Aside from that, the informations given in this video are, for the most part, true.
"This place stinks like a pair of armoured trousers after the Hundred Years War. Baldrick, have you been eating dung again?"

Ohhh Edmund, can it be true? That I hold here in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest green!?!
@@williamhu1401 Indeed you do, Percy, except, of course, it's not really a nugget, it's more of a splat.
Legendary
Oh man that was great. So excited for the next episode!!!!
This was truly the age where honor, chivalry and valor went out the window, replaced eternally by chaos, luck, and utter destruction. This was war, brutal and absolute.
@Boş İşler Müdürü That Turkish statement is damn sure true, because once gunpowder was around, war truly became hell on earth.
Well it's not as if it was any better in past. Chivalry code applied only to fellow knights. If you are average Jacque that was pressed into service, then no one will ransom you or release you no matter how bravely you fought. You are just an ordinary worthless peasent in the eyes of the knights.
@Boş İşler Müdürü Now in the present, at the simple push of a button, entire countries can be turned into literal ash.
@@aleksapetrovic6519 Your purpose in this age was to simply die. If you weren’t a noble you didn’t mean anything. It’s funny how the quote “War, war never changes” applies even to this day, because in the grand scheme of things, it didn’t.
War in the middle ages was never about “chivalry” and “honor”. It was war. Both sides will do all they can to achieve victory. Most “knights” wouldn’t behave like what we would think as chivalrous anyway. They would plunder, rape and destroy just like many warriors before them. Chivalry about the stereotypical “knight in shinning armor” is a myth.
The real life game of thrones is even crazier that the books/movies
Reality is stranger than fiction.
Man...I just can't get enough of this channel. top quality right here once again without getting into to much detail. As a french, I can't wait to see the next part of your the Hundred Years' War series. Small questions for you : any plans for a video on the sultanate of Grenada ? Or about the story of Quebec and new France from 1532-1775 ? ( I would gladly help for this one). Anyway Thanks for making once again theses documentaries, I love them all. cheers.
Very interesting series about the hundred years war! Very much enjoy watching!
Here it comes the long awaited series. Thank you so much
Awesome video and info! thank you!
Delightful. I've wondered about the enormous gap between Poitiers and Agincourt. That was a great way to cover the period.
Good stuff Ks and Gs can't wait for follow ups on this..Thank you
As always a great lunch and a great video to watch. Thank you kings and generals for your hard work and efforts
I used to be a history major and found it so boring to try and learn about this stuff from a textbook so I switched majors. Your videos however have gotten me to find this period interesting again. They’re really well made, good job!
That hurts, hope you're doing well! What is your current field of study?
Great video...very informative. Thank you.
Great learning tool. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Wow. Great content as expected
Excellent video once more ! Thank you for your efforts to teach history :)
Thanks for this awesome video !
Amazing work like usual!
Fantastic job, thank you!
Thank you for a great video
MORE OF THESE PLEASE!!!! WELL DONE GUYS👍🏿👍🏿
I really love your channel. Please don't stop making these contents. It would be nice if you do show more of Eastern history
Wonderful video. I liked it all. Can't wait for the next episode. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Was wondering when the next episode would emerge. Love the documentary btw
Why ommiting the castillian involvement in England coast raids??
is a english chanel what you expect?
@@TheRocklee45 but if Castilla (Spain) was the leader of this english coast raids. Why atribute this to the french???
By far the best History Channel on CZcams, you contents are High Quality and the narrative is very involving, I love the fact that you try to add as many details, images and videos of battles and events. Thanks to your channel I know a lot of details about historical events, and I can visualize much better the life and battles of those times 💯💯💯👏🏻😁(Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹)
Great video 👍🏻
Always pleasant to watched kings and generals. Nice music in the background, solid portion of history and military tactics. Keep going;)
Amazing as always KnG!
Too nice video from excellent historic channel and enjoyment thanks for sending
Y llego Castilla, y se terminaron las alegrias a Inglaterra.....
A video on my birthday and its about the french comeback in the HYW. Before watching my expectations are that the Spanish and Pottuguese campaigns will be mentioned too and covered eventually
Great video.
Awesome video
another great history lesson never miss a episode good work team
Wow, great ,
Never thought any you tube channel would make such a detailed video on this part of this history 😘
this 3 part series is amazing
That one ship at 13:15 " I'll try spinning, that's a good trick"
I love being early to these documentaries.
The little ship spin at 13:15 made my day.
Love your videos! Maybe one day there will also be a series on the 80 Years' War in the Netherlands? Especially Bernhard von Galens raids maybe?
Too bad you didnt mention the Chevauché of Edward III who went to Reims to get crowned King of France officially and since the town didnt open he went to Paris to ask the French to battle him, however Charles "the Wise" applied his strategy of "la terre deserte" , the empty land strategy , where all paysans and commoners took all they had and were put inside the big fortified cities where the english couldnt harm them.
Edward men's died of sickness, starvation and guerrilla tactics from Charles V men.
He asked his knights to do exactly the opposite of what they were born to do, and managed to turn the fist half of the war in French position.
One can imagine how hard it must have been to apply this "un honorable" strategy and yet wins..
Love this channel
Thank you , K&G .
I know it's going to be a good day when kings and Generals upload.
Wow, King Jean was quite honorable, volunarily returning to captivity when his son escaped!
amazing!
This channel should be number one!!!
Good video 👍🏻
Amazing series
I love these videos. It's very informative and full of historical facts and truths. I am studying French history and having a hard time with these names and places. Does anyone know any videos or websites that can help me with that. I could take french classes but to lazy right now. Thanks. Keep up the great content.
Being early to Kings and generals’s videos is amazing
Interesting video
Henry V, one of the most famous warrior king of England. Looking forward for his famous battle, The Battle of Agincourt!
Learnt about this from age of empires, my best history teacher 😂
I completely agree with you on that because I am also looking forward to the famous battle of Agincourt especially after watching the movie called the king but I am also interested in the battle of agincourt because Richard of York the third Duke of York who fought in the war of roses lost an uncle the second Duke of York who was killed at the battle of agincourt
They already did the battle of Agincourt couple episodes previously I'm pretty sure may be incorrect about that though
@@justinlabrosse8506 That is an old unlisted one if anything which they'll most certainly remake like Actium if I'm not mistaken.
Yes! It will be brilliant.
Kings and generals’s videos are amazing
Have to respect the French king for surrendering himself for his son.
and almost literally destroying his own most powerful state in Europe before? xD
The audio mix on this video is a trip.
Surprised you didn't mention the Black Monday of 1360.
On April 5th, Edward III approached Paris with a massive army, supported by his steadfast dukes of Lancaster, Warwick, and the Black Prince. The French refused battle, and so the English decimated the countryside.
That night, as the English set camp, a freak lightning storm appeared in the skies, the temperature plummeted and a torrent of hail beat down on the English ranks for hours. A panic ensued as several nobles were killed by the storm, and the camp was torn apart. It is estimated that up to 1,000 men and 6,000 horses perished in the storm on Black Monday, more than were killed by the French at both the battles of Crecy and Poitiers.
Edward III, convinced this was a sign from God that he had come too far, withdrew, and the Treaty of Bretigny was signed only a few weeks later.
It was Black Monday that ended the Edwardian phase, not the battle of Poitiers itself.
The 1360 chevauchée itself hadn't been a success even before the black mondayn. The costs of the expedition weren't covered and no major territorial gains were made
Subscribed to magellan TV!
Thank you
Keep up the good work!!!😁
very good video
The Black Prince had such an insane story - a tragedy in the end but he was still such a beast for most of his life
Brutal 💪🏼🔥😎
Thanks
Best videos I have never seen
Hi, thank you for this video that was very nice. If I may give you a tip, you should try to find information on Jean Chaudrier, La Rochelle's mayor who was a cunning man. After the battle, he managed to clear the city of English troops without any bloodshed. He then forced the French to give his city additional commercial privileges in exchange for opening them the gates. It could make a nice video, albeit a short one.
It's truly amazing how kings and generals can create one of these every two ish days.
That ship at 13:16 is 360 no-scoping
I'm just so hyped for the next episode, Henry V was such a bad ass
Greatest historical comeback
And you really underestimated du Guesclin's fighting ability, as guerrilla combat, fortifying towns, and winning by realising france had more resources weren't only of his talents. Even without mentioning battle of Cocherel, won in an "english fashion", against higher enemy numbers, due to troop placement, great decision making, and correct estimate of forces leading to creating a reserve used in a decisive maneuver, there we're just regular fights where he shines just as bright as black Prince. Pontvallain, Chize, Rennes, multitude of smaller fights, which were just smaller fights, and not exactly guerilla which is hit-and run or cutting enemy supplies... but anyways, my 5 cents is over, props for mentioning this figure
Nice video
Great videos as always! What Atilla mod is it?
good video
I do enjoy English/French history like these. Also the Mongols, Japan, Chinese. I do hope to see history videos close to home, maybe Indonesia (Majapahit/Srivijaya etc..)
Hope you will feature the biggest Naval Battle in in History!!
