1415 Lego Battle of Agincourt, Hundred Years War

- Almost 80 years into the Hundred Years War, on Friday, October 25, 1415, "Saint Crispin's Day," Henry V of England met the French army led by the Constable Charles d'Albret in Northern France, near the present-day town of Azincourt.
This battle was reminiscent of the English victory almost 70 years earlier at the Battle of Crecy: • 1346 LEGO Battle of C...
At Agincourt, estimates are that the English were outnumbered from 2 to 1 to as much as 4 to 1. Most of the English were archers and dismounted knights, while most of the French were mounted knights. Some crossbow mercenaries were part of the French force too. But they had a limited range compared to the long bow, and also took a lot longer to reload and re-shoot their weapon.
Before the battle, which Henry was actually trying to avoid, he ordered the archers to each find and sharpen both ends of a six-foot wooden stick. These were then hammered into the soft ground of the plain where the battle ultimately took place. It rained the night before the battle, and there was mud and soft Earth all throughout the battleground. The wooden stakes were pointed outwards, towards the French lines. When the French knights on horseback charged the English archers, many of the horses would not advance through the thicket of sharpened points. Archers picked off horses and knights from a distance and at close range. French knights and men at arms were trapped by their heavy armor in the mud, becoming easy prey for the outnumbered English. French who had not been killed or stuck in the melee fled.
Some say that the French knights had issued threats that, if they caught any archers from the English side, they would cut off their inside fingers, so they could not pull back a bow string. To taunt these French knights, the English archers held up their middle fingers to show they still had them.
Noble French prisoners, who could have been sold for rich ransoms, were ordered killed after the French retreat. Henry was worried these prisoners would rise up and attack the English from behind if, or when, another wave of French knights appeared to engage Henry. The massacre is not portrayed in this brick film.
August 26 2013 UPDATE: To all the dislikes which Analytics says are coming from France! We know this video is unfair and inaccurate. We promise to animate the French victory at The Battle of Castillon of 1453, the last major battle of the Hundred Years War. And as comments have pointed out, the end of this "war" left England with less French real estate than it had possessed at the beginning of the "war" in the late 1330's. - Hry
Can we just appreciate that he destroyed some of those mini figs
lmao yeah tbh i was wondering how the fuck you do that to legos
Its enough to make a grown man cry
@@zacharywacker7629 a big *OOF*
Those minifigs are also really old. It’s cruel
He just breaks to pieces and buys new ones with the money he makes from CZcams
00:25 hahaha i loved how he simply took the arrow while smiling and dropped smiling lol
Copied comment
Lol, the guy gives the finger at the end of the video
It's one finger bud
To weeks
@@spudpud-T67 ooooh, that makes sense sorry.
@@spudpud-T67
That's a myth, the middle finger was being used as an obscene gesture long before the Battle of Againcourt.
@@spudpud-T67
If it was, it wasn't born there and not for that reason, that explanation is a myth.
Guys, please, use your SHIELDS.
Yeah, luckily they’re French and have infinite amounts of men
A few inaccuracies here (and lots of missing info which I will not mention):
- The French mounted knights never really got close enough to the English longbowmen, and instead were met with the English men-at-arms and knights, and retreated after a few minutes of battle. Then the rest of the French men-at-arms and dismounted knights charged forward and promptly got stuck in the mud while fighting the English line. Many were shot down by bodkins while they tried to advance.
- The English archers were not that vulnerable in close quarters combat. They had poleaxe wielding allies beside them, and the archers actually discarded their bows later and fought in melee combat with swords, axes, and knives.
- The longbowmen did not point a middle finger, but rather two fingers at the French (these were the fingers they used to draw their bows).
finaly someone relise
Stop getting all butthurt about the "inaccuracies" of a stop-motion Battle of Agincourt between lego armies and with trance music in the background.
Another inaccuracy is that the longbow was slaughtering French knights on the charge. Rather they scared the horses and injured them forcing the knights to dismount.
Ryan Razaki Longbows DID have the ability to kill charging knights. There are several factors: Very high draw weights (100 to 200 pounds, average is 140-160), armour piercing short bodkins (steel or case hardened iron), and forward momentum of knights on horseback.
Don't believe me? Master archer Mark Stretton has a blog about English Warbows and their ability to penetrate armour: markstretton.blogspot.com/
ReonMagnum French accounts state that the knights were afraid of arrows going into the eye slits of the armor. Another factor is that even if the longbow penetrates the plate. It won't have the power to penetrate the gambeson that knights wore underneath.
At the end I saw a middle finger

+Scott Belyea I agree with you and Ms Curry. Not least because if the French did catch archers (and they most certainly did according to English records) they might not have wounded/killed them at all, but as the norm used them as slaves. Besides killing - even in 'holy battle' added another 32 years to one's time in purgatory. (Terry Jones: Medieval Lives; BBC books 2004).
The funky/disco music is such a mood killer .
It should've been Non Nobis Domine.
I have this
I hate the disco music.,
@@christophrehlinghaus8362 Hey Chris
disagree
Nice! )) I also do lego stopmotion but never tried to do a medieval battle! Need to try...
Да я буду ждать этого ролика
That is exactly how the battle really played out! Hooray for accuracy and lego!!!
Actually it kind isn’t because the French started firing at the English in this video but in reality it was the other way around. But this is still very accurate.
Really awesome job and great work on relating to the pasts history! Really nicely done!
Man that was awesome! Two severed thumbs up for your special effects.
Your lego stop motions are just great , just great!👍
very good work! and excellent idea of having historical events
Absolutely amazing! Stunning work!
wow. Your videos are amazing. You're an awesome animator! I especially love the medieval/rome era videos. Keep them coming!
please make more videos like this, medieval lego battles are awesome.
Where's the mud? The French lost at Agincourt because their heavy mounted nights got stuck in the mud.
Hey bud its pronounced knights
They lost because of that and when the french reached english lines the archers charged out and blugeoned the knights with the mallets they used to hammer steaks into the ground.
Also the french Noble houses competing for glory meant they weren't working together, so their knight charges didn't support each other and are thought to have trampled a good number of their own infantry.
wow just to amazing to even to begin thinking about how much time it took to make this ....GREAT JOB
Brilliant work!
Awesome!! I love that arrow effect! Keep up the work!
Your...videos...are... AWESOME!!!!!
Nice work this is the smoothest stop motionn ive seen besides the sea battle
I like the way u made the arrows go through the enemy army and how u made the
swords go through the bodies like that just awesome man just awesome.
Amazing video! I love the music!
Completely awesome! And nice graphics! Overall rating, 10/10!!
This is sweet! I don't think I'd ever break minifigs like you did but this was still cool. 8 out of 10
All of u vids are wor---BEST OMG they are AMAZING
Fantastic animation!
This was really well made
I love the Gore and blood great vid. :)
comme toujours bien réalisée
This is so cool. The music makes it for some reason funny.
Everytime I see these videos I cry. I cry because of the legos being chopped in half. :( They are still awesome!
I love how you flicked us off at the end
I wish that every stopmotion on youtube was this good
Great work
This one took the longest yet, about 10-11 days. Apologies for not replying
Brilliant!
Bloody hell! That was brutal! :D
The french knight's face at 1:23 :D (the one getting whacked with the mace)
He's like ,,Yay, I like it in there!"
awesome video
Their so many of them , good job
1:30 middle finger?
No, its medieval taunt done by the English, similar to the ,,peace'' hand sign in the 1960's.
French hated English Bowmen so much that they always cut two fingers used to hold and shoot the arrow, so the English usually did the ,,V'' hand sign to trigger the french..
We watched this in school! =)
I did a report on this battle 4 years ago :) also great video!
This video is very great
By the way, both armies back then had crossbows and archers. And the other interesting thing was during these times, flipping people off was invented. French archers middle fingers were cut off so French archers would flip the British off with their middle finger. British crossbow men had their pointer and middle finger cut off thus they made a peace sign but the back of your hand would face a person. They cut off each other's fingers because crossbow men used two fingers to pull back the string and French archers relied on their middle finger being the strongest to pull the bow string.
Isaac Guerrero When you said french archers middle fingers were cut off so french archers would flip the British off with their middle finger, you mean a side or group would cut off the fingers used by an enemy archer or crossbowman to launch their arrows? or you mean the same side cut their ranged soldiers' fingers?
wow I never knew about this battle but now I see!
This is the most historically accurate depiction of Agincourt committed to film to this date
Pro animation, man
Beautiful :-)
literally my childhood right here
Nice video
AWESOME!
Awesome!
Subbed!
Great stop motion
Really good (-:
this was fought on my birthday
I could not take this seriously with that music!
bruh these archers are O.P in these videos
So good :)
Impressive and awesome
love the historical accuracy
yeah, loving minor details also like swords cutting through metal.
the vid is awesome still.
The end was the funniest part of this. The archer flips the bird at the French
+omar chang They would cut off the enemies fingers and not their own. Cutting the enemy's ranged warriors fingers would make them unfit for either pulling a crossbow string or a bow string
Love the video, the stop-motion and the effects, but I don't really like the sound! :/
Damn it looks like a lot o work had to be done to create this
well done
incredible
You made good use of some brick forge items and some homemade
Could you do a tutorial on how you destroy your minifigures so well? Please?
Thanks!! =D
good job
At the grand old age of fifty I have just discovered the entire point of the internet. It is not cute cats or porn, it is watching lego men fight historical battles. Thank you, you have cheered me up immensely!
(Silver Arrows)You can get them from the brick forge website. (Brown Arrows) He broke the arrow pieces off of his bows.
what do you type in
1:25 The guy be like "Oh my turn? Better get away in here"
Those horses have some speed to them.
Actually, I suspect he's giving the palm-inward V-sign, otherwise known as the "Two-Finger Salute" or "The Longbowman Salute" (given this name in reference to Agincourt). Sources from Burgundy (de Saint-Remy and de Monstrelet) claim that King Henry V had told his troops that the French would cut off the first two fingers of longbowmen's right hand if captured, so they could never draw a bow against the French again. So the English used the gesture to tauint the French. (To this day!)
Very good 😉
How could such a historically correct and important video get dislikes? Makes no sense to me.
because its not historically correct
Cool!
Awesome work! What is the tune?
the arrows are to OP
My only gripe is the music, and how the shields do nothing.
Its hard to find a decent animator doing Medieval warfare this accurate. with all the limbs and heads falling off, the blood...
very good
very good animation also did you use the same figures during the whole video?
AWOLMasud523 yes
I like the party music lol.
Lol, the middle finger at the end 1:29.
This is really good. How long did it take you to make? And what did you use when the arrows were being shot so you didn't see the supports or whatever was holding them up? Please answer, thanks!
thanks. took 2-3 weeks. we just pasted an image of the arrow onto each frame where you see arrow(s) flying, they were not actually photographed live in the shots.
Brick Dictator thanks love your stops
i fought at Agincourt but i took an arrow in the knee
no bad video yo!
I love the ending xd
Actually, the French Infantry was mainly comprised if heavily armored foot knights that moved very slowly and England had very light weight men at arms, other than that great video!
That music though🤣🤣🤣😂😂
THIs video is great, but you should have put really epic music in the backround I advise you change it
How do the arrows just go straight through the armor? It’s just acting like their not wearing it!
good
D'albert was stabbed by random english soldier.Sometimes you can make Battle of Morlaix:-).
never never mess with the longbowmen they will kill you in long range
