Now for some disclaimers/corrections
-Sorry for the occasional audio glitches, unfortunately wasn't able to go back to location and refilm those bits.
-I believe my neckbeard is period accurate, that's my excuse anyways.
-Obviously all the weapons are props - couldn't legally own a sword even if I had that kind of money for one
Somebody’s been playing kingdom come deliverance recently havent they?
No
@@preacher3958 No, not really
youre pronounciation is horrible mate the names are horid but píštala was guite close so ill give ya a pass on that mate
How tall are you. You look kinda tall
Me: Mom, can we have knights?
Mom: No, we have knights at home.
Knights at home:
Those hussites basically btfo the knights tho
@@AB-fr2ei yup.
Like any good Mums cooking, it blows the fuck out McDonalds
Abokasee I agree , what's so good about dried meat with chemical smeared bread?
Actually a hussite would be a much better hero than knights: have common origins, fight for equality, were able to beat superior forces and in theory anyone could become one
I was not expecting a Potion Seller reference in this. I love it.
Jan Žižka was one of the best military commanders in history, even after losing both of his eyes he didn't lose a single battle. Leading peasants against knights.
not tryna talk shit im just 1/3rd polish and beautiful
,,Sir, thy enemies have surrounded us! What shall we do?!"
,,Let's move right there!"
,,But sir, that's a lake.."

“Pull me closer I want to smack some Catholics with my sword “
Big shield? Basinet helm? Polearms? CROSSBOWS? *Rhodok screeching*
I think they are actually based on them
@@nag7254 I've always thought of the Rhodoks as more Italian, but I can see the Hussite influence now.
@@nathanielcrosby2426 hussites, swiss, genoese, cossacks, flemish, rhodoks, they are all peasants and burghers, who are just peasants with more money .
@@ernstschmidt4725 indeed and yeah the italians in general made wide use of what became rather sophisticated and well equip burgher millitias. supplemented by mercernary condottieri who woudl switch sides all the time. the condottieri were the knights and men at arms. but since they had no loyalty the cities had to behave sort of like the hussites and figure out how to manage against them, without them.
This is why Rhodok's are so bad out in the field, no wagons.
Hmm, the animation in this one is so realistic
There you are again
@Gustavo Octavio deCampos First time I hear that. I’m Cuban btw

This is the live action adaptation

I don't think it was the clothing that saved the Hussites...
*IT WAS THE WAGONS*
what is a wagon but clothing for wheels
@@juanjuri6127 top kek
Nope! They have Henry of Skalitz on their side.
Ale tomu nerozumíš to je vozová hradba
For extend, it was more using profesional wagon drivers, that gave them the edge. Wagons were used for centuries, but using actual profesionals to drive them was a new thing.
Fun fact: Píšťala means flute, or whistle (the latter being etymologically close) and it most likely spawned the word for a short firearm - pistol.
But if I'm not mistaken, the píšťala was soon replaced by hákovnice - a hook gun. It had a 90° claw on the underside designed to catch on a wagon, a wall, or that shield, to transmit recoil there instead the shooter.
Underrated comment, dropping knowledge like morgensterns on heads of dismounted knights. I didn't make the connection, thanks.
idk if you have ever seen a flute but they are not short... lmao
@@benjamingrezik373 I don't know if you've ever seen a flute but they don't shoot... lmao (not trying to be a dick though just some banter)
houfnice se stala do anglického Howitzer
@@itshenry8977 That went through German: Houfnice -> Haubitze -> howitzer.
(houf = bunch; as for "gun for shooting bunches of people at once")
Crusading Knights: Nooooooo, low born peasants can't defeat their High Born Feudal Betters!!!
Hussites: Ha Ha! Hand Cannons Go BOOM!!!
@kala captain stale comment.
píšťala* go BOOM!!!
samurai: first time?
@@friedlemons5201 Actually, Samurai were enthusiastic gun users, having first studied a number of matchlocks that were "Forcefully Purchased" from a group of Portuguese sailors, before making their own. It was only after the conclusion of the Sengoku Jidai period, that firearms were outlawed and all destroyed, as part of Tokugawa Ieasu's efforts to consolidate power. Indeed, there were Ninjas who specialized a snipers using long barrel matchlock rifles
well, on the other hand though breastplates as guns came into the picture required to be "proofed" against gunfire before sale so really those couldn't have been more practical than a conventional crossbow which also struggled greatly against at least the main armor components (little issue if they were to take the hand or another weak spots, knights still wouldn't take the chance of "maybe they won't get hit where it will penetrate"
"Common people can never expect to win by playing by the rules of their betters." This is as true today as with the Hussites. Take this to heart
Off topic but...what is your flag of in your profile picture? I'd love to know (I'm an amateur vexillologist)

This setup is also known as mid game gear in Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Hell yeah!
I just want to mention, that the czech name of the handheld cannons "píšťala" (you can translate it as organ pipe) is where the word "pistol" comes from.
Kettle helmet, wheels, and cannon. The three ingredients for a happy poor boy.
*GAMBESON*
*Shadiversity has entered the chat*
@incinerator950 Supper underrated part of history.
He's more onto brigadines now rather than gambeson.
It's an often repeated myth that early handcannons were ineffective. While inaccurate from more than 50 yards, they do very well against most armor of the age (which was pressured to improve). They were shot only when the enemy was close enough, ensuring they pay a heavy price for trying to close in.
I always thought the Hussites is the inspiration for the rhodoks in mount and blade warband. Those giant shields and their peasant origins, and their tendency to knock snobby knights down a notch.
Him: The poor man’s knight.
Me: *The poor man’s poor.*
Much love, your friends at Rev Media!!
Hussites - The Poor Man's Knight
Hussars - Epic Cavalry
AND THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
They've Got Wagons!
0:01 scared me there for a second! Glad to see the Hussites War Wagons getting some love cuz in late medieval warfare it’s not always about knight cavalry or longbow man sometimes it’s about what u got on hand and making the best of it in order to defeat your foes!
This video cam out at just the right time for me, I'm making a comic that takes place during the war and you just helped me cut down on the amount of research I had to do. Cheers
I fear no man, but that thing
0:01
It scares me.
*foppish screaming*
Hey, we finally get to know what Feature History looks like!
...through an alarming number of filters...
to be exact, his face was also on one of his earlier video
Those aren't filters mate, that's fabric of reality itself being stretched by the idiotic design choices of the new CK.
I've been waiting for you to continue this for forever. Please make more
Always happy to see another one of your videos 👌
Oh shit, this series isn't dead. My heart overflows with jubilation.
The new format is very informative
Well this was an interesting change of pace, good work
Nice to see this series comeback
Great choice of topic and execution!
This is such a good video, and I actually learned something!
The potion seller reference was stunning I respect you greatly now!
Yes finally another video about Czech history! Greetings from the Czech republic mate and thank you very much. :)
Soft armor is extremely *ineffective* against blunt force. What it does well against is cuts, and to a lesser degree thrusts.
Thats really well tested, assume thats a slip of the tongue?
most certainly because it defies simple logic. cloth armor only helps agaist slices and grazes and shallow pokes
Not really. The cloth can spread the hit nicely. Of course it's not as good as mail or plate, but it definitely isn't ineffective.

Simo's comming up in the world, I remember subbing to him when he was still just a small channel posting CKII memes
In Czech, the "J" is pronounced as a "Y" in English, just to let you know.
haha right
The j is a y in just about EVERY language, except English 👍
thank jou.
@@cake8888 no, in Spanish, it's more complicated.
"Long-ass and ranged-ass." Truly a beautiful description.
This games marketing budget was enough to bring my guy back from the dead
Damn I forgot how cute feature history was 0_0
Thanks for making a video about the hussites
Honestly, I was afraid that you wouldn't upload a new episode of Feature Fittings due to the bad reception of the first episode, but I am glad that that didn't stopped you, I liked the first episode as well as this one, and I hope you will be doing more in the future.
Greetings!
6:38, feature history is about to lead a revolution
Worth the wait.
Established war doctrine : exists
Hussites and Chinese peasants : *we're about to end this mans whole career*
One if not my favorite channel whit the best 2 episode serie
Great video, very informative, can't wait for more feature fittings. Do you know much about the Rhodesian bush war. would you ever consider doing a video on it?
lol that intro was nice
you're finally back!
Nice video as always, would be great to see a feature fittings on the crusader's foot soldiers
Henry’s come to see us!
Ah so he is alive! Guess I can toss out that eulogy
I reckon I saw you at Coles. Keep up the sick videos!
Now to wait for another release of feature fittings
Finnaly a video :)
well done my Australian neutralian historian!

I was only rewatching the soviet gear vid earlier today can't believe my luck great vid 👏
I love this! Thinking for yourself spiritualy, early Reformation, early populism
I can't decide which style I like more, the animated style or this!
This is amazing can wait for the next one
In about a year...
Feature History has blessed us with a video during this time of need
Nice to see someone with eyes in this channel.
Hey look, it's Henry, he's come to see us!
Fun fact: The word "píšťala" evolved into todays "pistol(e)" and Houfnice became known as "Howitzer"
7:28 That's my little brother's reaction back in the day when it came to games lol
What the....
Really enjoyed this vid though keep on making them
Perfect. Finally a good fucking video in my recommended
3:46 actually how I understand it is that soft armours were more effective against cuts than blunt force. As the thick cloth is meant to stop slicing however you’d need a lot more linen to actually cushion the force of a mace.
I know this video was supposed to be about Medieval combat equipment, but that hoodie at the end is what really betrayed your status as a supremely cultured man.
The potion seller reference is also appreciated.
You just reminded me to start a Potion Seller religion in CK3. Thanks!
Jan Zizka was a freaking badass. Just thinking of a dude with an eye patch leading peasants to smash armies with innovative tactics gives me tingles. Reminds me a lot of Hannibal.
Hey, Hennry has come to see us!
8:11 OK YOU GOT ME!
Henry is here!
I never expected this much drip
Now this is the height of fashion
5:33 thats where the word "pistol" originates from
Pistala, Pistol - sound familiar? Would never expect somebody outside of this country to do a video on a relatively obscure part of our history, thanks!
oooo rhodoks!! I got it where rhodoks came from :D
still looks cool
Memes aside, this video was worth the two years wait
it's cool that you showed us your medieval clothing
Id love to see a video on SADF Pat83 gear, ww1 british kit and of course Australian vietnam wares
It seems that the early domination of mounted knights in the middle ages was due to technological advantages
*"Otome Sensou"* manga brought me here.
Specifically the wagon fort scene against the cavalry.
You sir are a legend yourself thanks for the good historic content even though that i'm not european but this facinated me!
This video made me think I was having speaker issues. So much popping.
interesting topic
*cue dramatic music* “Kept you waiting huh?”
Knights: You Sir are by far the *worst* soldier I have ever... smelled.
Hussites: Haha hand gonne go boooom!
The piš’tala is what gave us the English word pistol
10/10 intro
wow I thought the series died, this is awesome
Now we know why it took him so much time. He made some nite props and costumes.
Good video nice related ad :)
You have a lot of semi unfinished vids which I would love to see a part two for.
when you presented the hand cannon it immediately reminded me the staff weapons from stargate and once i had the thought it become impossible not to compare whole hussite peasant army to jaffas.
its your fault i will be never able to look at hussite wars the same way i did before you came up with this vid...
The Hussites were just fighting for survival and would do anything to get it
