This was a fun battle to make! Legendary Viking versus legendary King. Raider vs Crusader. Is it Lodbrok or Lothbrok? We couldn't decide. But, we settled on Ragnar Lodbrok. And then we wondered whether it should be titled Richard The Lionheart or Richard I? We plumped for Lionheart. Let's be honest - it sounds more epic! :)
Hope you enjoyed the rap battle. Much love to you all!

When you realize that Ragnar probably spent more time in England than Richard
Sad crusade noise
Oh fk!
Considering he owned half of France at the time I'd let him off a bit.
@@lewisirwin5363 A lot of England's kings owned many lands in France, yet mostly ruled from England.
Best form up a shield wall, because shots = fired
Not all Monty Python Knights were soft. One of them bravely ran away.
He bravely ran away away.
@@elliotbishop231 When danger reared its ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Hey ya can't blame Sir Robin, he face some "scary" shit hahahahaha
@@Schmidy76 Wasn't sir Robin...screwed after responding "I don't know that" to the capital of Assyria?
@@alphashaitan65 Yes brave Sir Robin turned about and gallantly he chickened out
Richard’s main opponent in the 3rd crusade was Saladin. “you couldn’t even beat a salad in a fight” is a very clever double entendre.
I assumed it was cause he died choking to death
He won every battle vs Saladin though
@@doc8090 Ever heard the saying “won the battle but lost the war”?Richard saw the holy land but couldn’t go all the way. Saladin won, the crusaders lost.
@@mrguermo1 he didn’t lose the war though the crusaders won every battle and strengthened crusader hold in the levant the only reason he never took Jerusalem is because he didn’t want to he thought it was smarter to go for Egypt Saladin wanted peace and Richard accepted as he had to return to Europe to fight a different war . How could Saladin have won a war he lost every encounter in? How could the crusaders have lost a war that benefited only them?
@@doc8090 their objective was reconquest of the holy land. Some strategic coastal cities meant they didn’t go home empty handed but the third crusade was not a Christian victory. As for the point about winning battles there are an endless examples in history of forces achieving success on the battlefield and yet failing to achieve their ultimate goal.
"i'm just a warrior, i'm not a linguist, but I think the King of England should probably speak English" one of the best setup and delivered bars, love that
The English nobility spoke French until Henry V's time...at least two centuries after Richard I..so that's spot on. Especially since the Normans formed the nobility after 1066, not the Anglo-Saxons because William the Conqueror basically rooted the Anglo-Saxons out of nearly all important titles and positions in favor of his fellow Normans.
only one that i think can top it is Che vs Guy Fawkes
Way to go for the throat, Ragnar! XD
I just looked up Richard I on Wikipedia, and read that followers of his brother John attacked the authority of Richard's Chancellor, William Longchamp, on the grounds that he was a Norman and couldn't speak English, suggesting that by this point, high officials were expected to be Anglophones. So another example of how good the research is on these historical rap battles.
@@erics7707 until Henry V? I am pretty sure the Stuarts spoke French as well. I thought that the Hannover Gang, being Germans, changed that.
Lara Croft vs Indiana Jones
Love this idea! Consider my vote in
With Nathan drake and dora interrupting
@@hisanrehan9703 xD that'd be great
That would be awesome!
If they can get Nathan Fillian to come is as Drake I could die happy
That "the king of England should probably speak English" killed me
The upper classes didn't speak what was English back then so there was no need for him to speak the language of the peasants.
I mean the dude was french and lived in france, it has nothing to do with speaking the language of the peasants
@@Gambit771 Yeah, it often happened in history. Not saying its a good thing, just not unique to him. Many nobles didnt speak the common folk's language let alone kings.
@@mirkiekishka Except he was born in England, king of England and royalty back then didn't speak English so it has everything to do with your status and nothing to do with where he lived.
@@Grivehn Which makes it seem a uniquely English thing that royalty and the upper classes voluntarily changed to meet the lower classes instead of forcing peasants to copy them.
Ragnar's verse "You went from chainmail to chained up in jail till mommy drained England to pay for your bail!" was just too perfect and historically accurate to boot.
Im like is it just me?
Drained England?
@@pajtimo23 They mean took up most of the funds FROM england to pay out for the king's escape.
@@Gadget-Walkmen I thought it was drained in a different way 👁️👁️
@@pajtimo23 lol in a “naughty” way?
0:16 Richard sticks up two fingers with the back of his hand outwards at Ragnar, a British gesture similar to the middle finger. It's commonly said to originate in medieval England. During the Hundred Years War, the French would cut off the bow fingers from captured English longbowmen, so the English would make that gesture to taunt the French by indicating that they still had their fingers and could use them to kill their enemies.
Holy shit, I had no idea ERB was this detailed
that 100 years war myth is acc false but sure okay
pretty sure the french were doing the middle finger to english to show them they had unlike their others
@@yaxte8356 it's not a myth, the French started it by cutting off the middle finger of English archers to mock us, so we retaliated by cutting off both of their fingers and then mocking them with ours, it WAS an actual thing, however it was started by the French first
@@zachall101 The image makes the claim that the gesture derives from English soldiers at the Battle of Agincourt, France in 1415. This claim is false.
Cain and Abel vs. Romulus and Remus, two pairs of brothers who backstabbed the other would make an interesting match up.
imagine if Cain kills Abel and Romulus kills Remus at some point for reasons similiar or refferencing for what they died
Or even just Cain VS Romulus xD
Cain and Romulus vs Abel and Remus
Literally your mind king, don't let anyone ever make you feel inferior you're the best
YES PLEASE LETS LYRICALLY FOUND ROME
That "the king of England should probably speak English" fucking killed me
Same
He didn’t even like England
@@alexmason8958 He spent no longer than six months in England and probably couldn't speak English, since he spent the majority of his life fighting abroad or living in Aquitaine
@@PossessedbyPhoenix He once said he would sell all of London if he could find a buyer. And he loved Aquitaine so much that he was willing to give up Normandy and Anjou to keep it.
Why speak English when everything sounds sexer in French.
“If I wanted to fight loser Vikings, I’d go to Minnesota”
As a Vikings fan… that hurt. 😅
That’s some collateral damage right there!
As a Packers fan, this battle is one of my favorites cause of that 😂
Crushed my soul seeing that 😅
it never ends :(
As a Swede,
I saw Vikings logo.. it was good.. but it’s missing the GODDAMN BEARD!
"I'm just a warrior I'm not a linguist, but I think the King of England should probably speak English."
One of my favorite lines in ERB.
"Good thing you hold the red cross cause that's who you're gonna need."
Also one of my favorite lines.
Me too
That line about losing like the Minnesota Vikings… as a Minnesota myself, that’s hurtful dude. True, but damn…
2021/22 will be your year. It's written in the runes. :)
@@ERB hi from brasil, when you coming?
Y'all need a new QB. Who pays for all those offensive tools then has a tool leading the offense. I felt this wirh you.
@@BJReolon if you take peter, lloyd will find a way to cast himself as peter
Cheers
“Couldn’t even beat a Salad in a fight”. “Salad in” = Saladin
Lol that part was pretty funny
Nice! I missed that one.
Salad represents asgard
Now I'm going to end up going back to watch 'The Kingdom of Heaven' after watching this rap battle and hearing that verse! ; )
You are my favorite people in youtube comments. There are so many zingers that fly under the radar because we don't know about it. You're the hero we needed 💕
Hitorical quick fact:
Richard never attacked Jerusalem because when he marched near the city his tactician eyes realised that his crusade army is indeed simply too small to conquer Jerusalem and he didn't want to suffer unnecessary casualties.
That just shows how Richard tactic genius came from not being relogious fanatic and calmly calculating things.
He was on a divine mission, turning it back sounds like he didn't have enough faith. The guys who gave up on the first crusade never lived it down.
@@vaiyt Richard was that succesfull only because he was a strategist and didn't just blindly think "the God will grant us a victory".
He knew how hard sieging a fortified city was and how many resoruces and people it required to be succesfull.
He knew he wouldn't be able to conquer Jerusalem(and Historians say that it was true and he wouldn't achieve a victory in that siege).
Also, he was planning to return with another crusade but he died before he was able to organise it.
Sounds like Cope, but ok.
@@krzysztofputerko1943 not a single crusade was successful, i dont think we need to protect his post mortem pride by acting like any of them were led by geniuses... Even if he had more it likely wouldve ended like the rest. They were pointless losses of life that were only "for god" at a surface level
@@JubioHDX Incorrect. The first crusade conquered Jerusalem and established the crusader states. Two was a failure. Three was a partial success, retaking a lot of territory and opening up Jerusalem for Christian pilgrims by agreement with Saladin. The fourth was a huge failure. Fifth was a failure. 6th was successful and the crusaders retook Jerusalem. Seven and Eight were failures. Nine was a small success and helped Christians escape the Mamluks.
I agree with the general consensus that Ragnar won, but can we *please* talk about how good Richard's second verse is? "Who invented the royal me? We! Who's the predominantly fictional emcee? Thee! You're a wannabe, mon ami, kneel down and honor me! Richard coming through in the end like Sean Connery" is honestly one of the best flowing lines ERB has written.
If that was his final verse he would have won. Because there is no beating, you went from chainmail to chained up in jail till mommy drained England to pay for your bail
Nah bro, Richard aint shit to Ragnar, bitch ass didnt even lead his own kingdom like a monarch should
It wasnt great tbh especially when ragnar called him out for not speaking English
@@isaacshefton5835 what do you mean not that great, he called Ragnar fake (which is historically true) all while showing that history still sees Richard as legend lived, Ragnar is not
@@aidanhendricksen4832 a lot of these characters are fake. We don't care. Ragnar is real tho. Speaking French instead of English shows submission
“If I wanted to fight loser Vikings I’d go to Minnesota”
Sheesh that’s cold
Just like Minnesota's offence
Cold haha
Packers fans approve
It was as cold as Minnesota**
As a Minnesotan, I can confirm that was indeed a cold diss.
Yeah that hurt cause it’s so goddamn true
"If I wanted to fight loser vikings, I'd go to Minnesota"
And like that, you can hear thousands cry out in pain
"Oofta!"
Like the 1999 NFC Championship game?
It hurt
I thought I would be free from my states disappointing sports team here. That line hit like a sucker punch
@@legofirefighter that fieldgoal.. DAMN!
This is their most underappreciated battle. It has so many niche and historical references, the research they did is nothing short of impressive.
The flow and rhyme scheme is just a little off tbh
@@oshura2506 Why?
It's not that it's underappreciated
It's one of the newest ones
Give it time dude
@@khankorpofficial i wouldnt call 2 years new
"You took Acre and Jaffa, like a piece of cake, but never attacked Jerusalem for Christ sake", is such a good line because there's a sweet literally called Jaffa cakes. But that 2nd Lionheart verse was just so good
"If I wanted to fight loser vikings I'd go to Minnesota."
He's out of line, but he's right.
Duck duck gray duck gang
I think there's another meaning here too, referencing the rivalry between the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings. Very clever.
I hate how right they were about that line.
oof that line hurt a lil, but yeah he's right
that line hurt bad, but only cause its true :(
Ragnar: The King of England should probably speak English
Richard: *M O N A M I*
It's funny because Richard III was like the Great grandson or so of William the Conqueror who was the Duke of Normandy and English aristocracy at the time spoke primarily French I think.
@@AzureSkyCiel there are still a load of French words in English, so it stuck to be honest.
@@curtiswong7280 It's a looooong story.
When France wasn't even France but a sub-kingdom of the Francque Empire led by Carolus Magnus. But most royal court during middle-age speaked French until I think the "French and Indian War" or in the French : "La Guerre de 7 ans" ("War of seven years)
@@Dekuma Impressive. Almost everything you said was wrong
@@mikkelkomstedt8790 And you are ?
Richard has some of the best sounding verses on the whole channel. Idek why I find his flow so fantastic
He won
"I´m the Lion King, man but thats a messed up circle of life`" is my favorite bar in this one. It somehow hits so hard !!
Reference to the Disney movie.
@@HuskyDog88 brah...as if i didn´t know
@@TakiwaraTaki When is the next ERB? I wanted them to do John Ritter vs. Don Knotts.
The fact that these battles have progressively gotten harder to decide a winner is a very good thing.
Lionheart had some hard hitters but Ragnar had some nice pockets and some good lines too
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest CZcamsr EVAH! Please agree, dear haw
@@AxxLAfriku suffer. just. suffer.
I don't know who won that both were good
i agree this one was great
I think Richard the Lionheart had better flow while Ragnar Lodbrok had harder hits.
Richard: Richard coming through in the end like Sean Connery.
Ragnar: Or maybe they should crown a king who's actually English.

"Why Ragnar, aren't you the cunning linguist?"
@@Cursed_Mark as a matter of fact I got a nack
Ha, also wanted to add this comment
lmao
I gotta say, one of THE most underrated parts of this whole thing was Ragnar in the background laughing at his own burn at 1:23
This is my favorite Rap Battle out of all of them! The costumes, the niche historical references, and the fantastic bars make this top tier.
You went from chainmail, to chained up in jail, till mommy drained England to pay for your bail. HOLY SHIT, he just nuked him lmao.
*[ NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED ]*
Bruh Ragnar got compared to GoT Season 8, he should've just left after that. There was nothing else to come close to
yo…. i just started watching The Mentalist… this is weird
Yes Rogar won
@@Eagl3xStrik3
Bold for a king who got whacked by a 10 year old.
Considering Lionheart almost never stepped foot in England and cared more about French holdings, that linguist line is too true
It was also very common that most of the Plantagenet kings of England never bothered to learn English and only spoke French and this was pretty common amongst most nobles until Henry V, 230 years after Richard the lionheart
@@karlwittenburg5868 YOu are right, but this doesnt change the fact that the line was KO.
Right!? I was very impressed. They even inferred to his homosexuality by mentioning that his wife never got any. And I love when they said that his mother had to drain England to Ransom him. That was really awesome
@@JaRule6 Said mom was Eleanor of Aquitaine, BTW, who was as vicious, Machiavellian and underhanded as any of her husbands OR children. Probably was mostly fictional but my point of reference on her remains Katherine Hepburn's portrayal of her in The Lion In Winter (damn good film about the most messed up Christmas ever where you got no choice but to face your mistakes).
@@karlwittenburg5868 Henry IV. was the first king to only speak english and not even know french. Henry V. only followed him in that regard
Come back to the battle constantly, Richards opening verse is fire, and the entire battle is one of their best
The "tearing down your legacy and leaving it in runes" line was sick and pretty accurate
You are with us again! I'm glad about it!
I make skits if y'all have time to spare.I'm trying to get my name out there

@@APersonOnCZcamsX more than 10 years dude
@@APersonOnCZcamsX ERB has been around since 2010
Some of the best camerawork in any ERB, so entertaining to watch
Ragnar's second verse is just the most consistently brutal verse, building up to that punchline.
No offense to the other raps, but I particularly love when it is between historical people
I 100% agree. My favorite ERB of all time is Rasputin vs Stalin. All of the little bits of history they throw in there with all of the different historical figures, it's just an amazing ERB.
Exactly.
I mean, they aren't called Epic Rap Battles of *History* for nothing.
I love them all but seeing historical people battle just has a different feeling
Definitely, but Oppenheimer vs Thanos is still an all time masterpiece - in large part because Thanos is fictional where as Oppenheimer is truly the destroyer of worlds...
“Who invented the royal me? We. Who’s the predominately fictional emcee? Thee.” Is the hardest shakespearean insult i’ve heard in my life
"Ye hoebag."
“You’re an old white Soulja Boy with no swag!”
"And no gonads, egads - it's so sad"
@@LucyAdroit "And to top it off, you're not a doctor!"
Yeah this line is class
So many lyrics came back to me as I rewatched this for the first time in months. Ah, always satisfying.
This is probably my favorite battle that you all have done. Not only is this battle catchy but the disses and punchlines are on point. Well done.
No, Richard will bow down to Ragnar because Ragnar's great-grandfather is a Viking
When ragnar says "I'm eating you alive just like the gangrene you died from" Richard holds the shoulder he had the gangrene on. Now that's attention to detail
@@chris_the_midget5256 End of Battle. Last line.
A thing that I noticed is that Ragnar started his verse talking about the 10 year old who shot an arrow at Richards shoulder and ends with the gangrene. Which is why Ragnar made that face
Does anyone think taht
Disney (company) VS EA?
Movie Franchise ruiner VS game franchise ruiner
Oh shit it's true.
Yeah he got shot in the left shoulder by a crossbow bolt, he survived the shot but it turned gangrenous and he died later. He was succeeded by his brother John. If I am correct I think he actually forgave the person who shot him a limousine (french regional) archer but the soldiers didn’t listen to him and had him executed. Richard the Lionheart is my favourite monarch because of this and also he was a great king during the crusades
Doesn't matter who won, but Minnesota definitely lost
As a Minnesotan myself... thats fair.
Yep that checks out
Minnesota always looses
Yes
lol.
Literally the best one so far, incredibly underrated.
0:47 that transition is fire
“If I wanted to fight loser Vikings, I’d go to Minnesota.” That’s a big oofda to my Minnesotan Heart haha.
As a Wisconsinite that was my favorite line 😜
I too let out an oofda, its savage, but true
@@Jacules I just about choked on my cheese curds when that line dropped lol

@@oliverschultz2631 What the hell, he lived in the middle of peak Viking age LOL.
@@oliverschultz2631 He was one of the leaders of The Great Heathen Army, which could quite possibly the biggest Viking army ever formed...
Pretty sure that’s enough to qualify you as a Viking...
The dialogue in this one is insanity.
So many killer lines
Explaination for Ragnar‘s Bars:
1. Richard I. the Lionheart was killed by young (possibly 10-year old) boy, who shot a crossbow bolt into the shoulder, avenging his father who was killed by Richard.
2. The International Red Cross / The American Red Cross is an Organization that helps treat wounds and provide medical relief (e. g. on a battlefield during a war)
3. Richard had an arranged marriage and didn’t love his wife, so he never slept with or had any children with her.
4. He had one son tho, but he was illegitimate bc he was from his mistress.
5. The Plantagenet line ended with Richard III. (1452-1485), who had Scoliosis (basically a „twisted spine“)
6. Richard the Lion King actually came from a French dynasty, since he was a descendant of the Norman William the Conqueror. Thus he spoke mostly French and despite being an english King spent most of life on crusades and barely any time in England.
7. Jaffa Cakes are really famous and delicious. Especially in Germany
8. Richard tried to conquer Jerusalem literally „for Christ‘s sake“, but failed
9. He saw „the holy land“, but couldn’t go all the way. Like if his dream woman stood naked before him, but he couldn’t reach her.
10. There was a Viking ritual where they stripped naked, took hallucinogenic mushrooms and literally went berserk. Also Berserk means „bare chested“
11. Ding Dang Dong. Reference to French nursery rhyme „Frère Jacques“, meaning Brother John. Richard had a brother named John who became King after him.
12. Bells would ring, whenever there was a Viking Raid.
13. Richard‘s major adversary was Sultan Saladin („salad in“), whom he could never fully beat.
14. Richard was captured by German nobles and mercenaries. His Mother had to pay for his (King‘s) Ransom.
15. He died in incarceration, when the wound from the crossbow bolt became infected and gangrenous.
Ragnar easily won this one.
I don’t think the 2nd one needed to be explained
@@luisf2793 You know the Normans are Vikings
One small detail: in point #2, the red cross on Richard's shield literally represented Jesus Christ and was worn by the European soldiers fighting in the Crusades. The Red Cross organization wasn't created until centuries later. Now the red cross is used by health workers on battlefields and is intended to protect them from being attacked, per international war crimes laws.
Adding to the commentary about 'Frere Jaques', Ragnar's line about morning bells references "morning bells are ringing", as well as being a pun on "mourning bells".
Richard’s second verse throws out Ragnar’s victory because Ragnar’s story is fake, Richards is still real, and for point 13, Richard never lost a battle against Saladin
A viking and a French King of England insulting each other in the same language, that's basically how the English language was born
you could say a DANISH but.. you know, viking works? O.o
*Dane
I love this comment.
@@geneve34 I mean, old norse turned into modern danish and vikings spoke old norse so...
@@geneve34. We don't know where Ragnar (If he's one man, which is unlikely) is from. The best lead is that his father was supposedly Sigurdr Ring, a mostly mythical King of proto-Sweden Besides, "Danish" didn't really exist as a concept back then, and neither did "Swedish" or "Norwegian". It's more accurate to either say "Norse" or to use a blanket term, like "Viking" (Only use viking if it's a raider. Not every Scandinavian was a viking).
TL;DR: Ragnar (if he was real) was probably from what is now Sweden, but it doesn't matter, since "Swedish" or "Danish" as nationalities didn't exist yet. It'd be more accurate to call him Norse or a viking
“You might have the Axe, but I make a body spray” is easily missed, but man, that’s yet another great line…
My money's on Zach Sherwin writing that line.
Ooo nice. I missed that one
WAIT AXE BODYSPRAY WHAT THE FU-

Best line ever. Full stop.

I always wanted to see something like that and see what would happen it would be so great and awesome to get that battle it will be like a dream come true for me please ERB do it I wanted it so much,
(Thank you for reading.)🙏
He's back boisss
This was the first thing I thought too! Haha
Damn, tough gritty characters work so so well for Lloyd, love his depictions of Ragnar, Wolverine and Clint Eastwood for example, even though I more often find myself kinda rooting for Peter's characters heh. Also the hairstyle is dope!
I think this one might have been the most evenly matched pairings ERBs ever done. Absolute gold on both sides
The lyrics sound like Richard elegantly crafted his raps before the battle had even begin while Ragnar showed up with no script ready to just go to town on Richard. Very nice.
Ragnor practically said, come at me bro, imma go naked
"You built your army by raising English taxes. I raised my army taxing English asses with my axes."
The burn is so intense that the Frost Giants no longer exist
Such a good fucking rap!
Should have been Alfred the Great vs Ragnar instead of Richard I, it'd have been a way closer match up, also Richard could have burned way harder but just didn't I guess??
That riff in the background of Ragnar sounds good. I need it. Just it.
I realized that Ragnar's line, "Your old lady can't feel the love on any night", is a reference to the song from the Lion King, "Can you feel the love tonight". Jesus Ragnar, lay off him.
Richard doomed himself bringing up the Lion King.

@@ERB Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, & Michael Collins Vs. Buzz Lightyear.
👨🏻🚀👨🏻🚀👨🏻🚀🆚👨🏻🚀
Battle of the iconical Buzz (, & a Neil, & a Michael) spacers.
“You may have the axe, but I make the body spray!”
God this writing is so good
Richard won with that fucking line
@@josepha2746 agree to disagree
For anyone who doesn’t get the salad line, the leader of the Saracens who owned the Holy Land during the crusades was named Saladin
Honestly, this battle proved to me that an ERB can still be awesome even if I know nothing about the participants. Plus, learning about them after was fun!
Watching during my commute.
My head all day at work: DING DANG DONG
Erb liking this comment made my day 😭😭
Ill be your first reply :)
You also got pinned NICE.
How tf did you get pinned
@@extentnearby6139 have no idea, but I have loved these guys since ERB1, and I have never been so honored in my life.
"I'm the Lion King, man but thats a messed up circle of life" now that is called brilliant writing
Ragnar beating back with his own Lion King reference, "Your old lady Can't Feel The Love on ANY Night!"
@@anonymousskunk good rebuttal
Lines like that scream “Zach Sherwin”
@@low60000
He’s the brilliant writer behind crazy ex girlfriend, so I’m not surprised.
1:02
The most epic instrumental, before Hannibal vs JtR and Ash Kethum vs Darwin
Do you think they should make a rabbi vs priest rap battle?
@@Ilayshatz
Idk what both of those is
@@raptordarwish887you don’t even know what a priest is? bro where do u live 😭
@@Sev_GD I know priest, what is rabbi
@@raptordarwish887 then why say u don’t know what both of them are 😭 lol
Damn, no one metioning the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves reference.
“If I wanted to fight loser Vikings I’d go to Minnesota” Hits hard after the Vikings loss to the lions
NO BECAUSE SERIOUSLY 💀
As a detroit I would like to say that your clearly threw the game because of how pure shite we are...like usual
**sniff** the lions are just that good
Hits you guys even harder tonight! #GoPackGo
I read that comment at the exact time the lyrics came up.
This world needs more of ERB!
yes
This world needs more naked Llyod.
i can only agree on that!
Every world needs ERB!!!

1:03 this part is superb, the flow of the lyrics is really amazing
Punisher vs Peacemaker would be kind of awesome
"The king of England should speak English" - Holy shit, historical burn
well i mean most of these are historical burns
I would hardly bethink any Frenchman as an “English King”. It’s like saying Frederich Barbarossa was Italian since he held much of southern Italy.
Talk about some pure Supremacist.....
Me, 28 years later: Hey wait a minute, was having Patrick Stewart play King Richard in "Robin Hood: Men In Tights" a reference to him playing a French character on TV who sounded English?
well duh its epic rab battles of HISTORY so EVERY single roast is a historical burn
"but never attacked Jerusalem for Christ's sake" man that was very clever HAHA.
Hell yeah
"Your real self next to your legend disappoints"
Richard don't throw stones in glass houses.
Chain mail to chained up in jail.
Number 1 Erb fan checking back in. I can re watch these raps all day😊
Let it be said, that the kings of making history class fun have returned, and non the less with such power both graphical and Verbally!
Have you heard of a little band called Sabaton by any chance? Lol literally nothing but history in every song
@@widdershins5383 Ah yes, another fellow of expanded culture
Happy 2 years of this masterpiece!🎂🎉
Excellent video! The message hits home, especially with the theme of Ragnar Lodbrok vs. Richard The Lionheart. Hats off to the author for presenting such thought-provoking content.
"I raised my army taxing English asses with axes" allfather is proud.
Papa Thor Approves
I commented about this too, the flow was dirty
Literally something Thor would say
Go to sovengarde
I mean ERB do their homework. The plantagenet, the conquest for Jerusalem, etc 👌 exquisite quality mate
Richard the Lionhart was in the first Assassin's Creed, and Ragnar Lothbrok was (sort of) in the most recent Assassin's Creed
Ragnar lodbrook is frm Vikings series
@@mrstealurkill7870 They are both real historical people
@Minge Basar read some Viking history once in a while
@@davyjones7016 you do realise that there is no historical evidence that Ragnar lived whereas ubbe, bjorn and Ivar where all well documented vikings
@ Typically he is believed to be a real person, but the stories often attributed to him may actually be several different people
Now with House of the Dragon being popular, I think it would be awesome to have an Epic Rap Battle between William the Conqueror and Aegon the Conqueror.
This was one of the best ERB battles
"Your son killed your ex, your ex killed your wife, I'm a lion king man but that's a messed up Circle of Life!"
*WHOA!!!!!*
The Norsemen way bro... you wouldn't get it
@@craytherlaygaming2852 only Norse kids can relate unlike these snowflakes smh
@@TheDr_Crow indeed
“Who are you to talk about the circle of life? Your old lady can’t feel the love on any night!”
That rebuttal compensated.
This seriously captured the essence of old school ERB. Phenomenal production.
This one was great
And they both had 2 verses like they used to have
Lyrics, flow, beat, acting and editing all on point.
This does feel like old school Season 2 ERB but with the benefit of years of production experience.
Huh? It doesn't feel like that at ALL to me
This battle has so many good lines that the insanely hard beat goes almost unmentioned
Best erb in a long time
"You went from chainmail to chained up in jail til mommy drained England to pay for your bail" Maaaaaan, that's tough.
Yeah, Richard was DEFINITELY Eleanor's baby boy. And to think that running gag in Disney's Robin Hood seemed like it was just that, but turns out, "Mother always did like Richard best" was legit
that was my favorite line
"the King of England should probably speak English"
then Richard goes "mon ami"
I love it
Lol i was so happy as an historian Who study medieval era, especially the XIIth century
