So hyped for this!
Baz battles please make a video on the battle of khatoli and dholpur it will be interesting to cover.
The link works! However, since I only use a phone and have no computer I'll redirect my focus to Curiosity stream. But I will say this: The easiest way to get money from me is if it costs 5 bucks (no more) and it's a download from google play. I can then simply click on it an type a password. If sth costs 3 bucks I might even click on it just for fun. But 14.99? Well ya know ten lunches in a row. For a poor man. From Lidl. Anyway great upload thx!
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
Traduction in French please 😭
Hope everything is well, would love for the channel to return or at least get some closure if it isn't. Cheers guys.

I hope this channel isn't dead, I love your videos, Baz!
Yeah whats going on with him?

He have a new vid
@@killerkraut9179 thank you 🙏
@@RLuke103 I now working of a Drawing of a Schwertbruber i think i will it son load up in Deviantart !
"Saule" means "sun" for anyone asking.
yep, same for both brother nations ;)
I had a friend named Saule. She was from Kazakhstan
In French we have a tree that is named "Saule" it is called "Willow" in English.
@@Ptitnain2 indoeuropean languages have connection and many similarities. In France I noticed that "lents" (slow) in your language is "lēns" in our language. Must be many other similarities that I have not noticed yet.

LVL100 Master Volkwin: Dismount and engage the enemy!
LVL1 New Recruits: lmao, take a load of this guy.
that's why noobs should just shut up lmao
500 years later discipline 150%
Wasn't the dismount only for crossing the river? Not for fighting.
Thouse fresh noble newcomers from Europe always been a problem in many battles not obeying in *holly lands* too.
Master Volkwin yell "Damn Noobs" then continue with rage quit...
Only problem is, in real life you can't tell level by reading people's faces. Every noob in real life be thinking he is a lvl 100 master.
Where you been, we miss you
Please come back, we miss you
Can't believe this is the last baz battle upload for 5 months 😢
Do you know what happened?
@@Oblivisci........ no
I don't either
They maybe in memory if corona lost souls
He's back
Ah the Baltics, the perfect summer destination for Crusading.
Deus mecem est, et Dues vult!
@@PillowWillow007 Looking at the results, I conclude "Deus non vult".
More of a winter destination, thusly you can take your horse out for a ride.
@@PillowWillow007 We do not threaten crisendom your threat lies to the south.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 I happen to be Estonian
That's what happens when you hesitate and question your superiors who literally have decades more experience than yourself
This is true. But let's say they did dismount, cross the river into the wooded area. They would have been attacked before they got to the clearning, and they still would have been attacked from the rear. I don't know about this battle other than what's presented in the video, but it looks like the ambush still would have happened - just on the other side of the river.
We don't know if the ambush was already prepared or was just still being planned. But we do know that they might had a chance if they were able to cross before nightfall. Waiting until the next day gave the Pagans much needed time for the rear flank to execute.
@@Dayvit78 The other side of the river wasn't wooded, it was a clearing. So, non-marshy, non-wooded ground. The type of ground that medieval knights are the best on. So even if they did get attacked on that side, they would've still faired better than being attacked where they were. And also, the river being where it was would've made it more difficult to get the surrounding manouver in place that they did get in plce now in time like they did here.
Glad they did, they had no right to invade.
Sounds more like the normaly cautious commander didnt want to admit he made a mistake so he threw the mostly slain rookies under the bus and blamed them.
It is the morning of the 28th of December, 2020. Carl Sailor has the day off from work, and has slept late. Upon opening his browser to check the news of the day, he notices a new notification from BazBattles. A new video has been posted. Not wasting a moment, Carl drops everything and clicks on the video.
The battle is about to begin...
Nice bro
You mean December, right?
@@Peetfighter Good catch. Fixed.
HA! Brilliant!

man its been a while, hopefully everything is right
I miss this channel, why, what's wrong with Baz?
"Scheisse, they're in der trees, they're in the goddamn trees!"-Sword bretheren Knight.
Romans: That's how it feels!
Crusade over man! Crusade over!
vietnam copies pagan lithuanian tribe tactics confirmed :oooooo

"Fools rush in"
Julius Caesar: [ smirks quietly ]
In this case, it was sitting around on their hands that did them in.
It's always amazing how Julius was able to smirk quietly when most people can't help but clap their lips loudly. ;/
Northern crusades are so criminally under covered, thanks for the great video mate.
Have studied history till bachelor degree and never heard of the Sword Brethren, less the batte of the Sun (thank you guys who translated). Everything east of Germany and previous to imperial Russia hardly ever reached France schools and universities. Wonder why lol. In the meatime, many thanks to @BB. These --pagans-- Lithuanian people knew how to coordinate between different tribes, man!
In Denmark, some of it is basic high school history. Not in the least because they contain the myth of Valdemar receiving the danish flag from heaven and is the oldest national flag still in use. The truth is probably slightly less pompous.
I actually first learned about them from Medieval 2 Total War. That and my brother had a DJ book called "Battle" when we were kids that mentioned it.
@@TukozAki This is very strange, because in Russia even engineers know book by the French historian E. Lavisse "Essays on the History of Prussia" 1915. :)
@@sudfac Yes Ernest Lavisse is known by name in the universities where I've been taught history. And there are old books from him in the libraries, but he was already well "passé de mode" (ie "has been") in the 1990s when I studied history. Students who specialize in Slavic or Gernam studies may well know him better. I have never been advised a book from him by my teachers and I didn't opened one myself. Prussia itself was seen super lightly and only through its interactions with French history.
In Lithuania, we learn about this battle in school :D
Of course. A people must know their hystory.
I would say this video covered more than they teach in school
@@Brugar18 Less than my teacher tought me. But my teacher was a good one and tough with historic things he had in his own possesion rather than the school book.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 I envy you, what we learned is basically the date and outcome of the battle and that's it.
is one party considered the "good guys"?
My thanks to BazBattle for making this, I'm from Lithuania.
Some Baltic pagan chieftain: "I'm Gonna Do What's Called a Pro Gamer Move"
And says the bad word
Lol some good tactics. Besides the tribes were fighting for freedom and their land, not to vain allegiance. Far as i recall crusades failed to force religion onto baltic regions by taking away choice. The dukes at the time chose to adopt it just to stop the fighting. So thats 200iq move as well. The people would have fought to the last person but that is pointless waste of life and culture.
Chieftain? Battle leader from Lithuanian side was Duke Vykintas.
No better way to spend the day than watching a BazBattles video.
the day? hit those like and subscribe buttons like you do the replay button.
My Christmas gift is finally here.
You are celebrating on the wrong day by a few months.

I feel like Rose when Jack sinks to the depths of the Atlantic.
Come back!
He's patreon is still open yet no videos?
@@medievalist8441 BAZ will be back or else i am going to find him because this is not on, it like not getting your mug coffee in the morning.
@@Oblivisci........ he died from covid
200 men contingent from Pskov participated in battle on crussaders side. Same with Germans, only about 20 survived.
Interesting thank you for sharing. Fun fact he did not mention is that the most serious effort to conver us balti to chrytinity before the crusades where the russian missionarys. They are where we get out word for church baznīca coming form božica
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 well, these volunteers were hardly about carrying light of Christianity.) Baltic tribes started to raid border Russian principalities in XII so Pskovians wanted to repay in kind. And plunder too, ofcourse.
Last time I was this early Lithuania was a kingdom
Last time I was this early it was a tribal federation.
imagine seing non threatfull pagan lithuanian tribes unite before you and form one of the strongest nations in eastern europe for the next 500 years
did you mean grand duchy right?
Where are you, BazBattles? :(
No advertising
i think they gave up, no post on social media either. It was fun while it lasted
@@UTubeExo sadly :(
always a pleasure when you upload!
Two videos this quickly. You made my Monday.
Haha
Too bad it’s been 5 months now
@@garrettgallagher8551 Don’t remind me. 😭
As a Lithuanian I've been waiting months for you to publish a Lithuanian history video. Amazing content, thanks for making this!!!
Thanks for covering an area that doesn’t usually get that much attention! Great video as always!
Miss your content
Yup, hope he comes back soon.
Wow, you actually made a vid about lithuanian history :O Thank you very much mate!
PLEASE, let not this channel die...
He have a new video
Been a while Baz! Hope a new video is coming soon.
Is this channel dead?
Has anyone heard Anything?
rip bazbattles
What ?
@@ahmedibrahim9082 This is the last vid he's made for 6 months
i got a feeling he ran out of money due to slow output and relying on revenue. If you compare this to a similar channel King and Generals they put out around 3 videos as week...too bad.
It's been 6 months !
i need more of this!!! hope you didnt stop forever!
Battle of Saulė translates as ''The battle of the sun''.
Praise the Sun!
@@danboud8135 Yes exactly. We are victorios thus prase the Sun.
Lithuanians, my brothers of the sword, I'd rather fight beside you than any army of thousands, let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions, do you know what's there?, waiting just beyond that river?, immortality take it, it's yours.
Achilles?
Btw dude if you want to keep this topic going i would really recommend the battle of Durbe 1260 for your next project! thanks again for the great vid!
And do not forget battle of skuodas 1259
Battle of Saulė in Lithuanian translates as '' The battle of the sun ''. At that place is now the city of Sauliai. Thank you for a beautifully revealed part of Lithuanian history.
Actually its somewhat 20km away from the city. Some say name of the city Šiauliai comes from Šauliai, meaning shooters as there were some sort of deffence place. Wich would make sense. There are few "hills" in the city, (on one now there is a church, that is visible from any direction coming 15~ km away.)
In truth, we have no actual idea where the battle took place @@kerstas10
@@user-ex9yc7yn1x I know. We just guess irs somewhere in northern Lithuania. 😂
Whatever you're doing, I hope you're enjoying it. I hope you'll enjoy uploading again, we can wait :)
If you love history you can watch videos at channel "Kings and Generals"
kid: dad! the rectangles fighting again
Dad: *get a popcorn*
The Sword Brethren rose spectacularly, and fell spectacularly.
Spectacularly? They where ticksters, oath brakers, backstabers and lyars form their very first conquest till their last.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 How so, they were probably much more purer then you in all ways.
@@baltulielkungsgunarsmiezis9714 Their rise to power was spectacular even if their methods weren't always.
@@magnusheister8466 Pure tricksters, oathbreakers, backstabbers and liars, maybe.
@@magnusheister8466 Hahahaha. Shall tell you the story of how Rīga was founded.
Pa Daugavas muti ieradās Alberts ar saviem tirgotājiem un bruņiniekiem. Viņš prasīja lībiešiem zemi pārdot lai tas pili celtu, bet tie savu tēvu zemi par nekādām naudām atteicās pārdot. Albers padoties nebij ar mieru, domāja tas līdz ļaunas domas tam galvā ienāca. Ielūdza lībiešu vecos uz dzīrēm tas un prasīja lai ieročus iekšā tie nenes lai atstāj ārā tos. Kad gana dzēruši tie bija bruņinieki tos mājā ieslēdza un ieročus prom aiznesa. Rītā bruņinieki sanāca pulkā lībiešu vecos sagūstīt, visus uz Vāciju tos aizveda lai tie nevar atgriezties no gūsta. Lībieši negribēdami savu tēvu nāves nevarēja karaspēkus pulcēt, lai apturētu vāciešus kad tie pie Rīdziņas pili cēla. Ar laiku pilsēta apkārt tai izauga un līdz mūsdienām par Rīgu to sauc.
Damn it I wrote to you in the wrong langauge. Just coppy it here translate.yandex.com/ I dont want to translate that nice passage and google failed even more spectacularly I checked bough translations you will understand the idea if you use this one.
And know that they continued their conquest in the same mannor. Using the locals unfamiliarity with the consept of lying and oathbracking
Do you also think the romans where better than the goths? The people literally named good as god.
As a Lithuanian I can say this is a very pog moment
Va čia tai yra tikra žaidėjo akimirka
@@dk.kapsukas2195 amen
If this next video is taking more than 4 months to make, it better be GOOD 😂
I was just scrolling and was like: why the hell didnt I see a BAZ video in like forever, and then I realized that they didnt publish any. I really hope they are well and will return :(
Can't wait for this Channel to make its long awaited comeback
It has been four years now that i follow your channel and i must say that your work is truly outstanding, your work on the first crusade and the campains of alexander the great is still unrivaled in my opinion. One of the primary reason i love your work is that you make documentaries on a lot of battles and time periods on wich there is very little to no other content available, i had very little interest in british medieval history apart from the events linked to France and the mainland, but your videos on the subject realy changed my mind about it and i find it absolutely riveting now. I realy wish to thank you for your hard work and when I will be able to you'll surely be the first creator whose Patreon i suscribe to.
Where are you my fellow creator?
Congratulations for your channel Alpha Omega!
Thank you my friend! BazBattles' videos were an inspiration for me!I hope he is fine!
I'm a simple man, I see a notification from bazbattles, I click
Gods i love these so much! They offer a rare perspective that really makes you appreciate all the difficulty that goes into coordinating and commanding a cohesive force. Especially in the middle ages and antiquity. And the consequences of losing that cohesion. A simple delay brought on by protest turned what might've been a victory into total defeat.
Been waiting for this. Thanks man!
Dead channel, what a shame, it is literally the best history channel on CZcams. Honestly I'm obcessed with the style and I wish there was more like this.
You really need to hire a full team and produce more content. King's and generals ain't bad but you can tell they rush their content
You should check out HistoryMarche as well, very similar to Baz and Kings
Check Historia Civilis too, its a nice channel about history with the same style
Epic history tv is pretty good too. Good maps and quality documentaries especially on the Napoleonic wars
How is he going to hire a team the ad revenue is already pretty low so i guess this channel is dead because they don’t do any money anymore
Hope you guys get round to making some more content! Your videos have always been very enjoyable!
who knows why the video stopped coming out and the channel was abandoned?
*"My team sucks"*

Yet again newcomers fucking everything up, just like the french cavalry. Absolutely disgracefull!
the french cavalry was actually quite powerful and potent.
@@blugaledoh2669 it's a meme my dear comrade.
NOOBS
I've read that the "newcomers" were actually conscripts from the Baltic lands, that's why they disobeyed the attack order, and supposedly they just ran and even switched sides when the battle started.
@@dokfoto that would explain what happened, but what crossed the mind of the grandmeister relaying on potetially treasonous soldiers so much in hostile territory slips my mind in this scenario.
As a Lithuanian i am happy that you did a video of this battle, thank you
Two videos in less than two weeks. Amazing.
Merry Christmas!
My eyes always light up when I get the notification of a bazbattles upload 😍
Anyone know has this channel stopped uploading?
HE'S BACK
I've been waiting for a vid about this battle for so long. I come from Latvia and live right around 150km from that battle sight. I heard about this battle in my history class. It's so cool to see it all animated and get a better understanding of how it all unraveled in a more detailed way. Cheers!
Little fun fact i forgot to mention The battle of Saule actualy means the battle of the sun. Those people back then worshiped nature and we still have traditional holidays called "Jāņi" where we celebrate summer solstice. That's the longest day of the year when it actually gets dark for only about 5-6h at night.

I'm completely lost without a summary chart!
j/k - great job again!
wonderful episode!
Thought my subscriptions weren't showing any of your videos. Sometimes breaks are necessary. Hope you're doing alright.
The Battle of Saule means "Saulės mūšis" or the Battle of Sun. We were so proud of that victory that we even built a City of Šiauliai.
Thank you Baz. Im happy to see Lithuania.
need moreee of this
Baz I need u where are you please make another vid. There must be millions of ancient battles that you haven’t done yet like Chinese battles or Indian or Inca Aztec it’s been like 5 months.😭😭😭😭😌
