    1:53 Although in the grand scheme of things Parma had mixed allegiances at that time it was pro church leaning.
    2:48 Also the supply lines to the besieging army would be threatened as well.
    3:07 He wasn't as much of an Imperial party supporter as he was dissatisfied with the Papal and Bolognese control and governents.
    3:40 The English version of Wikipedia.
    3:48 To be fare outside of Wikipedia (exceptions apply), you shouldn't be going to any of these pages for source material.
    4:56 Also the poem in an of its self had made up some aspects of the war that weren't true.
    6:46 All this maneuvering took couple of nights not just one single night.
    7:41 Prati di Saletto plateau not Castelletto sorry.
    8:49 Even though European infantry war drums are usually seen as a modern era tool they where actually used in battle by the Europeans since the crusades.
    10:42 Crespellano, Zola, Samoggia, Anzola, Castelfranco, Piumazzo and the Rhine lock in Casalecchio,
    10:44 Locks on the Reno river diverted drinking water to Bologna.
    10:49 There are several reasons why the Modenes didn't besiege Bologna and some are still debated to this day. For example Historians are still not sure whether Modena had enough soldiers to even attempt a siege of Bologna on top of that the Modenes supplie lines where already very stretched and it would be hard to have a drawn out siege. Lastly besieging Bologna wouldn't give much direct gains to Modena as they definitely wouldn't be aloud or capable of annexing it.
    11:07 It is still debated whether this truly happened or was invented a years later as a funny story/anecdote. However most sources do seem to point towards it actually happening.
    12:19 Most of this money was taken by Passerino and Modena it's self didn't see much from it.

      M. Laser I’m sorry. I just watched the video, and I agree you did significantly more research than other CZcamsrs. Still, I believe this subject is over saturated on this website, which is more of a commentary on history youtubers than you specifically. When I saw the title I assumed you were going to be like every other channel and repeat the same facts with minimal commentary or historical opinion. This is a good video.

    This channel is so underrated (probably also because of the youtube algorithm). The ammount of research and work and the quality of information are a few times better than many popular history yt channels. Your research is always one step ahead of most channels I know. I really apreciate how you're willing to dig deeper into subjects seemingly well-known like the king Venceslaus carol video or this one. Keep up your great work. If I was earning my own money, I'd definetely become a patron.

      @@esjb1191 Majority of the Bolognese army wasn't actually in the city. They scattered to the surrounding country side with most of the infantry just going home, which where mostly farms. It was primarily just the cavalry that managed to get back to the city so at that point they had much less numbers than the Modenese. Also, It is definetly safe to assume that the Modenese wouldn't have thrown the party if they knew there was any chance of a counter attack. Lastly, there was internal strife in Bologna after this as dividing factions couldn't decide on what to do next. Appeal to the pope, ask for peace, etc. It would be hard to muster an attack in such a state.
