Thanks for watching! For some reason, our Napoleonic videos are less popular than our other videos. So, please, share this video you think it is good enough. :-)
Fun fact: Marshal Bernadotte was later adopted by Swedish King Charles XIII who had no heirs and when he died Bernadotte became Charles XIV John of Sweden. Thereby establishing Sweden's current royal house of Bernadotte. By marriage he became related to Napoleon so in a distant way Napoleon lives on in Sweden's royal lineage.
Even if the famous anecdote about His Majesty having to hide embarrassing anti-monarchist tatoos is not true, it's still one of my favorite amazingly unbelievable carriers in history. Up there with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Abram Petrovich Gannibal.
Maybe a bit late to the party, but another interesting tidbit is that Bernadotte was initially not favored to become the new Swedish monarch at all. It was clear that Sweden needed a new king, and several candidates were considered but Bernadotte was not one of them. A rogue member of parliament offered the throne to Bernadotte without consulting the government, and upon returning to Sweden he was almost executed for treason. He was able to persuade parliament that Bernadotte was an excellent choice due to his military expertise, and they hoped that he would reclaim territories lost to Russia (mainly Finland). However, he was wary to go to war with Russia, and knowing he was expected to conquer something, he invaded Norway.
On the 7th of October 1806 the Prussian declaration of war arrived along with a twenty-page manifesto. Napoleon's private reply read: " Your Majesty will be defeated, you will compromise your repose and the existence of your subjects without a shadow of a pretext. Prussia is today intact, and can treat with me in a manner suitable to her dignity; *in a month's* time she will be in a very different position." Prussia was crushed within two weeks.
3:02 Napoleon didn't order the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. The last Emperor - Francis II - abdicated and declared the title abolished, re-inventing himself as the Emperor of Austria. It is said that at least part of his reason for so doing was to prevent Napoleon from claiming the title of Holy Roman Emperor for himself.
You are correct about Francis, but this topic is more complicated than one might think. I highly doubt Napoleon would've taken the title HR Emperor, but he almost certainly would've claimed Charlemagne's legacy and the imperial prerogative. If not for himself, then certainly for his son, born 1811. It's clear from Napoleon's commentary that he had no respect for the HRE as a modern institution, so it's more likely he would've had it lapse. Charlemagne's imperial legacy would simply pass to France, just as Rome's prerogative was passed on to Charlemagne in 800, or so the story goes.
@@pmbartoli919 no the holy roman empire was indeed created when charlemagne was crowned in 800, but that wasn't the official name at the time. The HRE was coined later by german kings but the it's the same political and spiritual entity which the ottonians inherited.
@@maxion5109 I agree there is a wanted filiation between the HRE and the Carolingian Empire, as there is betw both and the Western Roman Empire. But the HRE is a recreation after an imperial interregnum after the end of the Carolingian Empire. The two are close, but the HRE, as it continued until 1806, is created in 962 with Otto's renovatio imperii: he recreates not Charlemagne's empire but the Roman Empire, and if he has to proclaim the renovatio imperii, it's because there were a few decades without an empire.
For those who read Clauswitz "On the war", this battle is the starting point of Clauswitz and of 150 years of prussian/german military doctrine (with also Napoleon's invasion of south germany during 3rd coalition war which will create the modern notion of strategi)
@@7macfly2 Prussian Campaign of the Fourth Coalition : 161.944 French troops vs 250.000 Prussian troops. Losses : 15.000 French casualties vs 215.000 Prussian casualties ( 20.000 killed, 45.000 wounded and 150.000 prisoners ) in only 33 days. 200.000 more Prussian casualties than the French. 215.000 Prussian casualties out of the 250.000 total Prussian forces against 15.000 French casualties out of the 161.944 total French forces all of that in only 33 days. This is the most one sided campaign in European history.
We, latinos, could get our independences from Spanish dominance thanks to this French genius. Thanks for the hard work put in this videos, really appreciate it
Good video but too bad, you didn't really talk about all the small important decisions made by the generals. For example, the Landgrafenberg plateau was taken during the night because the prussian thougt it was impossible to climb and Napoleon ask his troops to take it and then built a small road for the artillery, giving a really good start position (the battle was decide at this moment I think) while Davout choose to take one by one every small village to keep the line. Every time a part was winning, he reinforce the others to make the whole army going at the same speed to keep a solid line. (I'm not an expert but that's what I understood).
At 7:30 the Prussian lost the hill and understood that they are fighting the main French forces, it was the best moment to retreat behind the river and wait for Weimar's army.
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!! the text, the pics, the narration, the edition... really, thank you all for these history classes, the education need more of this way of learning. Congrats from Brazil!
Lannes was amazing commanding the vanguard but Davout showed at auerstadt that he was capable of defeating the main Prussian Army with his single corp.
I would take Ney too. While Lannes and especially Davout were calculated and stiff, Ney would be dashed ard reckless. I would keep Ney untill the final blow, then sent him with the reserve. :)
@@felixgagne5996 in 1814, when he was the defender in the siege of hambourg he held even after napoleon capitulated, it's the representative of the re-established french monarchy that had to come to tell him that the war was over and that Napoleon abdicated, and the first thing he did when he saw the french monarchist white flag was to order to shoot on it with canons before finally surrenderring the city. what a man.

Love your videos. Greatings from Jena. It is one thing to hear about battles at some exotic places but a different thing to know it was fought at the place you are sitting right now.
Could you possibly make a video about the Prussian army reforms after the War of the Fourth Coalition? Maybe a minisode explaining who Scharnhorst and Gneisaneu we're and what they accomplished with the reform and how it would eventually lead to Germany having the best organized army at the start of the 1st World War. Or Maybe a video looking at how Napoleon changed European armies from small scale, single stack armies to the more elastic corps structure, etc.
He's just as influential to history as Alexander, Caesar or Ghengis. All four of them manage to fight every single major power around them. I'll always be most impressed with Napoleon though. He did for France in 10 years what took both Phillip and Alexander to do for Macedonia. He set the stage for WWI and is the main reason that France wasn't divided between Britain/Spain/Italy in the 1790s. The Russian campaign was a major blunder but Alexander made essentially the same mistake to continue fighting instead of returning home to regather strength for a couple years.
@@geordiejones5618 "He set the stage for WWI and is the main reason that France wasn't divided between Britain/Spain/Italy in the 1790s." Not really, even without Napoléon France did occupied benelux region in the first coalition war (and win it) but I agreed that he brings massive weight to the powerr balance.
@@geordiejones5618 Which major power did Ceasar fought? The Roman already control everything west of Persia other than primitive tribes. Genghis Khan is a genecidal maniac, that set sciences back a thousand years. Mongol don' t made their country stronger, they simply becomes the rulers of others until they were kicked off. Mongolia is still the same wasteland as it was before him amd after him. The French Revolution were winning the wars before and after Napoleon, it was the most powerful nation in Europe history.
I am from the region of Thuringia in Germany, in which Jena lies, but I never knew that such an important battle took place in Jena. Thanks for letting me learn something new today. :D
I’ve been actively searching for Napoleonic content. It’s a massive Continental wide brawl that gets glossed over in US (and World) history classes over here in the states. Great content!
I love learning about the various battle Napoleon has fought during his career. They are highly intriguing. This is an awesome channel. My compliments to those who made this video a reality.
Explained it very nicely. I actually lived in Jena for some years and it was great fun to walk across those fields exploring the former battleground. Peaceful villages... hard to imagine the slaughter.
Thank you so much. I did much research on Napoleon in mid 1900s for about 4 years. You have covered it very well. I am looking forward to to, two weeks from now as I have followed your Napoleon campaign. I do love all of your videos. I am working part time and am partly disabled. I still walk around and do as much as I can. Thank you so much.
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." - Sun Tzu. Most Napoleon victories could be predicted before the battle, just by looking at the armies deployment, quality of leadership and supply status. :)
Jason Denton hate to ruin it to you but the sour losers were the French ever heard about revanchaism (as well English culture origins is deep in Germanic cultures that migrated)
raph The losers are the germans, at the end of the day, they always lose. Battle of jena, WWI, WWII. The french had the greatest empire with Napoleon 1st, then they lost in 1870, but had their revenge in 1918 with Verdun battle.
Djas Kang Lol,without their Allies Germans could easily kick ass of France.İn 1914 German Empire had 67 million population,compare 39 of France,2times of France’s economy and about 2.4 times of France’s total industrial output.And almost 2 times more battleships.French bias,what about some respect gör Germany,they fought against the World and still won almost,while %90 of France’s casualties was against Germany.
As always, great video. This series is amazing, keep it up! I haven't taken the time out to really delve into the Napoleonic wars era in history, so this is perfect.
Great video! I live in Jena for a month now and actually visited the museum dedicated to the battle last week. I would imagine, since they regularly get a lot of foreign visitors, that they might want to have such a nice informative video at display there. The museum is quite small and it's capacities and financial options are rather small, I suppose.
As a french, we learned in history class that Napoleon was a military genius and a great conqueror, but I can understand why he was seen as a dangerous monster in the rest of Europe, because of fear and propaganda. It's as if we saw the conquest of Persia by Alexander from the point of view of the persians. Anyway I really enjoy these videos even if I don't really like this period of history, great work from a great channel !
Thank you very much! Please, consider sharing, if you have a chance. Also, which time period would you like to see? I really want to appeal to the French audience.
Yeah I shared it with a friend, big fan of Napoleon, I'm sure he'll like it. I'd say the main problem with the french audience is the language barrier, many french don't enjoy seeing videos or films in english unfortunately. You may have some success with french subtitles or a partnership with a french history channel on CZcams like Nota Bene for example but I can't promise results even though I hope you'll get the recognition you deserve. :)
i used to be friend with of one of direct descendant of Marshall Davout !!we were in French SF and after we worked together in private security and he passed away in Algeria during terrorist attack In 2014 he was very good guy i think is genetic !!! RIP Yann
Thanks for the video. Just became a Patreon supporter this was so interesting. Didn't know that Bernadotte was quite involved in battles. Bernadotte later became king of Sweden and Norway.
The thing is, he wasn't involved in the fighting. :-) But, eventually, his forces ended up between Jena and Aurstedt, which prevented some Prussian units to retreat. Napoleon even thought about court-martialling him. :-) Fascinating figure, his descendants still rule Sweden.
I just discovered this channel. Watched the video and just had to subscribe. Great job! Really like the method of delivery - both visual and audio-sensory, in a very clear and cohesive manner. Going to watch a few more :)
Another great video, well as usual :). I like how this channel literally "exploded" with amount of subscribers recently. In less then 3 months, you guys went from 10k to 84k subscribers. Keep up the good work. :)
Always with a amazing presentation and also creative depiction of battle. Always look forward for more episodes. . . And a bit of suggestion, could you make a documentary about battle of Lepanto, it is the battle between Papal States against Ottoman. One of the most interesting battles i suppose. Nevertheless, You guys rocks!
Quality work, your videos are very interesting and informative👍 will you make more videos about ww2? For example it would be very interesting to watch about the battle of Stalingrad
All praise our God Kings and Generals (peace be uppon him) who blessed us with another great historical video about Napoleon's time thanks bro (im Plebeivs romanvs)
You should make a series of videos about Field-marshal Alexander Suvorov such as the Siege of Ismail, the battle of Rymnik, the Italian campaign, the Swiss campaign, the battle of ochakov etc.
first video i've seen! great production value!! but i think it would be very useful to use more colours to mark the correspnding area's for each party, would really help understanding and visualizing
Thanks for watching! For some reason, our Napoleonic videos are less popular than our other videos. So, please, share this video you think it is good enough. :-)
Kings and Generals Please make some videos on the 30 Years war/Wallenstein.
Planned. :-)
To paraphrase the great political commentator james Franco 'The hate him cause they aint'im'
Hi
Kings and Generals, Napoleon was a giant. Keep up with the good work about him.
"At Jena, Napoleon won a battle he could not lose. At Auerstädt, Davout won a battle he could not win".
Quality quote. :-)
My greatest victory :)
breteau?
Louis Davout ?
Nice quote, but in reality that were Prussian faults. They gave opportunities for both Napoleon and Davout to win these battles.
Fun fact: Marshal Bernadotte was later adopted by Swedish King Charles XIII who had no heirs and when he died Bernadotte became Charles XIV John of Sweden. Thereby establishing Sweden's current royal house of Bernadotte. By marriage he became related to Napoleon so in a distant way Napoleon lives on in Sweden's royal lineage.
Yep, Bernadottes are still going strong. :-)

Thank you! :-0
Finally a new video, worth the wait top quality :)
Thank you very much! :-)
there needs to be a channel solely dedicated to the study of napoleon. the world was completely transformed by this ONE man.
Thanks for nice videos. I got a good insight about Napoleonic wars. Can u also share videos about Nader Shah's campaigns
Wonderful videos
cant stop saying how epic you guys are,
+manchild53 there is no need to stop. :-)
When asked who was the best general . Wellington replied “In this age, in past ages, in any age, Napoleon!”
Keep going, your video is awesome!
Thank you! :-)
Your all videos are so wonderful
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Just became a Patreon supporter this was so interesting. Didn't know that Bernadotte was quite involved in battles. Bernadotte later became king of Sweden and Norway.
The thing is, he wasn't involved in the fighting. :-) But, eventually, his forces ended up between Jena and Aurstedt, which prevented some Prussian units to retreat. Napoleon even thought about court-martialling him. :-) Fascinating figure, his descendants still rule Sweden.
Again Great video (:
Thank you! :-)
need more Napoleonic wars, love it
Thanks! In 2 weeks. :-)
Do more Napoleonic wars! I love these series
Next episode in 2 weeks. :-)

And a bit of suggestion, could you make a documentary about battle of Lepanto, it is the battle between Papal States against Ottoman. One of the most interesting battles i suppose. Nevertheless, You guys rocks!
Thank you very much! Yes, Lepanto is planned within our series on the Ottomans.
Awesome video
Thank you!
Your channel is awsome!
Thank you very much! :-)
Awesome stuff keep it up!
Wish videos could come out quicker the wait sucks >.>
Thank you! We are doing our best to produce more. :-)
I love the Napoleon videos, it’s very interesting as It’s so close to home.
We also love this series. :-)
Quality work, your videos are very interesting and informative👍 will you make more videos about ww2? For example it would be very interesting to watch about the battle of Stalingrad
Thank you! For now, the decision is not to move beyond the WWI, but we will discuss it again.
Great video.
Thank you! :-)
Great video
Thanks! :-)
All praise our God Kings and Generals (peace be uppon him) who blessed us with another great historical video about Napoleon's time thanks bro (im Plebeivs romanvs)
Thank you very much! :-)
Love your videos :)
Thank you! :-)
Am digging the Napoleonic series! The Napoleon Total War theme song keeps on playing in my head whilst watching the videos lol~
That was the plan! :-) More videos on the way!
Thanks
Excellent
Thank you! Working on the second season.
great work. some videos on modern battles please. world wars, gulf war etc
Considering.
I need to learn more about this stuff
Good show, Davout was perhaps the best of Napolean's generals.
Nepolean the greatest military strategist!Please continue the series till Battle of Waterloo!
We will!
Kings and Generals thanx..eagerly waiting for next nepoleonic series video!
You should make a series of videos about Field-marshal Alexander Suvorov such as the Siege of Ismail, the battle of Rymnik, the Italian campaign, the Swiss campaign, the battle of ochakov etc.
Most of these will happen within our series on the Ottomans.
I live like 10 Minutes away from were they fought.Woaaaaah :D
Is that hill really that steep?
first video i've seen! great production value!! but i think it would be very useful to use more colours to mark the correspnding area's for each party, would really help understanding and visualizing
Thank you! Do you mean the strategic map?
