Just discovered your channel. With your talent, I believe that you will gain more subscribers in no time. 👏
Its so sad that you don't get that much attention. Your videos are informative yet not boring.They are visually interesting as well. I really hope you become the next big educational youtube. Maybe a Vsauce 2?
Could you make a separate video on Chivalric Orders / Knightly Orders? I've been trying to learn about them and how they work exactly for quite some time now, but I haven't found any good video's/articles on the topic
Absolutely
@@TheGeneralistPapers your audience asks: when? :-)
Two things. There was a separate group of individuals, the men-at-arms, who were not knights but were equipped similarly and served the same battlefield functions (mounted cavalry), but did not have the same social rank (and responsibilities). Secondly, even in Ancient Rome there was a distinction in class (and thus status) between the Patricians & the Equestrian class. As time marched onward, these distinctions were blurred, but it makes perfect sense that the historical descendants of such a system would develop a similar set of social classes, as the expense of horse fighters was the basis of the original Roman groups also.
Though continuity in these things is a hard sell seeing that aside from similiar tools and usage there isnt much to make that link
I love your channel, you're very good at explaining this stuff succinctly and interestingly. Keep it up, and here's hoping you soon get the attention your work deserves
I am looking forward to the announced and therefore promised videos! :-D

Simple and well done video.
Amazing channel and content. Idk why the algorithm didn't worked for you yet, but nice work!
Narrator: If a knight was apart of chivalric order a sort of Knight Club.
Me: (Imagines a bunch Medieval knights dancing at a night club).
Nice video was interesting to watch
Cool, but outside of the military campaigns, you’ve not told anything else about a knights way of life.
Maybe its not too much to tell
@@legioxequestris811 just fukkin, fighting and drinking?!
@@dancummane3668 exept for templars that was probably 99% of their time
Literally
Just subscribed I like the content 👍
Bro u hav some hella good quality vids
I find stuff likes this very fascinating.
very interesting. when I was a kid, I was fascinated with knights.
I'm new, just discovered your channel. Will definitely subscribe your channel.
Brilliant
Support this man.
man, really love your content. But i think the audio volume is too low
I am slight confusion though. In the Baronet video you say Knights are not nobility, yet in the beginning of this one it is mentioned that they are. Can you clarify? Can a knight be a commoner or no? And if so, how does that work? Thanks! great job!
I think he means that they are low nobility. Meaning they hold little to no power or influence compared to a Count or a Duke that holds vast swaths of land. Kind of like how we use the title commander today. There are platoon and company commanders but they don’t hold enough power or influence to notice, but then you also have generals that are the commanders of large amounts of soldiers and can even influence the political theatre in their country or foreign countries.
whats the font you used for TRAINING
Have you read c.s. Lewis’s short essay on chivalry? It really is fantastic. Lewis was the chair of medieval literature at Oxford.
The wooden swords were known as wasters. nice little video. I'm interested in the duchy divisions in the UK
What version of Old King Wenceslas is that?
knights are criminally underrated warriors.
I've been researching my family history and found several distant grandfathers that were knights. I found 2 that were knights of the Templar.
I read that sometimes the knight ceremony also included a punch, to show that being a knight could be painful, but idk if it’s true.
Also some men were basically knights in all but name because of the expense. They’d technically stay squires but act as knights.
Is the part about knights having heralds at tournaments telling the crowd about them real?
There could be several horses involved. But the only name I remember is s destrier, or war mount.
In fantasy literature there's always one or a few Knights that were knighted at 16 or so, how common was this?
History Nerd, Love the videos short and packed with to the point subject matter. The narrators tempo and voice are perfect. Its as though 99% of info is digestible and easily understood without loosing interest, even briefly, aka hanging on every word. Well done. PS I am an Ashiest, but I dislike intensely the BCE and CE its pretentious attitude. I usually turn off any video that goes there, I can only imagine how many Christians do also. History lesson changing history which is a dangerous path and lesser teachers practice. Thanks I'm hooked keep it up please. Do you teach?
Great video. There is an inaccuracy tho. Not only noblemen had access to heavy armor. In fact most heavy cavalry in the late middle ages wern't knights but men-at-arms, rich enough commoners how fouth in the same style as knights. Thus, a knight is defined by its social class at the very bottom of nobility, not by its equipment.
This gave me a low key existential crisis
I find the burial effigies interesting. They look very realistic. Yet the paintings of the time look like bad playing cards. It's odd that at the time sculptures were so talented yet most painters were not
That music just makes me think of Epic NPC man. 🤣
Im impressed that they had night clubs back then! It must have been really cool.
Knights were the best warriors on the field until they met English and Welsh archers.
@@yourdavey6531 What ever you want.
Correction: at 00:50 you show a black knight. Knights weren’t black.
It was really hard way to make a living.

It's spelled Charlemagne. If you want to be taken seriously please stop misspelling names. That's twice I've seen that already.
