Can i just say it's a breath of fresh air to see a channel go this deep into history? it took me two days to finnish this video but i'm glad i did. i'm used to Kings and Generals (and the like) and their very casual approach to history and this is a lot more tasteful. Not just because it is more acurate but because it is not afraid to go really deep. While other channels are worried about making money this seems to be aimed at providing engaging content. i can feel the passion. grettings from south america :)
Ugh kings and generals seems like such an alright channel but there’s something about it that’s so particularly hard to follow, I feel bad saying it as they seem like they put work into it and care, definitely not the worst channel. But their presentation style or something just really fails to create a bigger picture of what’s going on, very noticeable when it’s an event I was already knew something about from a better source. It’s so many dates and map pieces moving and not much context of why, how, and what it was like, what it all meant put together.
So wonderful to have his Majesty et al back again and with such a great subject. It’s clear that the War of the Roses had it’s roots in the Hundred Years War and the damage it caused to the prestige of the English monarchy.
the armangac v burgundian civil war & the allies of the kingdom of france, when charles VI of valois went mad, a regency and civil war, sound familar,?? his grandson Henry VI of Lancaster also went mad and had a regency, and like in france nobility was divided, the house of beaufourt from the red prince- john of gaunt were the unkown or forgotten about , bastard line that captured the throne, the duchy of savoy, earldom of flanders, duchy of brittany, princes of wales , lordship of ireland all deserve their own videos, during this period of the *cousins war* just a small war , within a much larger one... the hundred years war, a capet v plantagenet french feud...
I try not to speak for others, often when I do I end up with my shoe in my mouth. However, I feel that I can go out on a limb here and state that your audience would all agree that you are NO LONGER allowed to take vacations. Any of you. We missed you something fierce, and it was terribly vexing for us in your absences. :)
This is one of the most fascinating wars/events in world history but it gets almost no attention. Thanks to am and the pasta posse for such great content
I love how for this episode AM assigned Columba and Marcus to cover specific parts of his presentation so there wouldn't be too many tangents and in the end we got the longest stream from the series yet.
new subscriber... been listening to your videos for a few days now. I'm sorry i made a comment about you coughing too much in one of your videos. All of these are great and easy to follow along with while I'm working. cheers!
This stream was the first of AM’s that I watched some months ago(after I had a sudden interest in St Joan of Arc). I’ve now reworked my way back to it after watching the various series in order.
This channel is brilliant and this was an excellent run down of the conflict, cheers guys. One thing though, I think Columba interrupts his co-hosts too much, which is a pity.
you guys really should have mentioned that the overwhelming majority of fatalities at Agincourt were on the melée line, with both longbowmen (who were no slouches in melée combat) and men at arms dishing out the damage in close quarters in the same mud as the French. too many people have this notion of English longbowmen then being peasents in regular clothing... they were elite soldiers and they were well paid, had swords and wore essentially a cuirass. alone they'd struggle but in conjunction with men at arms they were effective in close quarters. the entire machinery, recuriting, records, discipline, pay, and combined arms tactics of the English army from even before Crecy were revolutionary, and showed the way to the future. these armies were capable of so much more than their French counterparts. in addition the English knights fighting on foot amongst everyone else enabled command and control and a joint espirit de corps that the French were a million miles behind, literally running their own men down in annoyance... at times. launching these unwieldy masses of troops that they couldn't really control after the word go. it didn't help the French that the nobles and peasents couldn't stand each other. anyway, a lot gets missed about the English armies of those times. English military exceptionalism is very real and they were well ahead of the game back then, which I attribute to the more dynamic culture clashes in Britain what with Romanised and non-Romanised peoples, Scots with their anti-cavalry pits and pikes, welsh with their shooting, and perhaps a longnlegacy still of vikings in ages past forcing the English to develop their infantry more, and greater social cohesion between classes. Britain was very different from the rest of Europe and its military and social paths were different even then. many different worlds met in Britain and they didn't totally subdue each other for a lond time, so they learned from each other.
I wonder, did the defeats at Crecy and Agincourt and others, weakening the aristocrcy, assisted the French crown in their efforts to centralize the kingdom...?
The longbowmen couldn't have fired at anything like 10-15 shots a minute. The draw-weight on the bows is something like 140-180lbs with no recurve, that's a tough draw for even an experienced bowman of the time. Something like 4 shots a minute is good, and probably over 5 times faster than crossbowmen.
I especially love the nickname of Charles's second son, Lothar the respectable, who was of course a Canadian who liked to run into the path of people who walk on the roadside wielding knives and was born from a Nigerian mother and father LMAO
It was lovely to hear more about the complexities on the French side of this conflict. Could anyone tell me something about the bonafides of the presenters?

3:11:40 //the queering of the 100 Years War// Hate to "Simpson's did it" this one, guys, but ... James Lindsay reported that the play, "I, Joan," has a bizarre, non-binary Joan of Arc with all the graceless whimsey of a blue-haired college girl expression-dancing while singing out "Trans people are SACRED! Joan of Arc was TRANSSSSSS!" It played at the Globe, which is supposedly some horrific center of our Tumblrtatorship as it appears in live theatre.

Somehow you should improve the audio system. Equalizing the volumes would make the consumption more comfortable. Pertinax‘s voice is sometimes too loud and often strident. Columba on the contrary is hard to hear, at least sometimes.
@Simon Pettersson Yeah exactly. We don't have a seperation between the ruler and the ruled. Everyone thinks that the state is OURS. So it's OUR healthcare, OUR public edukayshun, OUR debt etc.
@@truegrit1860 OK do you not have to pay social security tax in the US? I'm in the UK, and here you have to pay a tax for pensions which is 12& by itself.
@@truegrit1860 damn bro you really think they pay taxes? They use loopholes to avoid the majority of taxes. Then the middle class ends up footin the bill
salut, bonjour, mon dieu ,,, intresting... great content... is there english subtitles too the 1972 accursed kings *le roi maudits* drama, i have heard of the devil crown a bbc production too , the house of capet V the house of plantagenet...
1:35:40 Pretending that a man who is born against his will with a psychological disability is responsible for the horrible lot that befalls him and how that lot influences the fate of the state he is forced to rule because he is STILL expected to rule even though he should be protected and cared for is utterly ridiculous, and disgraceful. The nobles of France could have easily deposed Charles VI and found a relative to take the throne. What influence his disability had on the politics of France is entirely the responsiblity of the nobles who pushed for his rule. Not of Charles himself.
Oddly, the claim of the English kings on the throne of France is only because they were French people themselves and descendants/relatives of the last Capetian kings of France. Otherwise, if they were truly English which they were not, there would be no claim at all. England got conquered by the Norman French and french language & culture becomes the standard in England as the noblity in England were now Norman French. Then later the French-Angevin-Plantagents become kings of England but are also vassals of the Kingdom of France. Then one of these Plantagenet kings married a French princess who is a daughter of the Capetian King of France. Soon a Plantagenet son of this French princess, who became Queen of England sired by a partly-French King of England, claims the throne of France as a grandson of the King of France who died. But Salic Law does not recognize him (the Plantagenet son) and a nephew of the dead Capetian King of France from the House of Valois succeeds rightfully. So there, the Plantagenet claimants to the French throne were not thinking of themselves being English but rather being descendants of the King of France. It was all about being French after all.
This is great - but it would be better if the Scottish guy didn't interrupt so much. I'm not sure if he's asking basic questions for the benefit of listeners without much knowledge or if he's genuinely uninformed himself?
to my mind the subject is very interesting but would be better served as purely a lecture because it comes across that when the others speak at different points the main lecturer comes across as more annoyed than anything - so why invite others? I have noticed this in other posted talks and it makes it jarring to listen too I must say.
Man, I'd you just did videos instead of podcast's I bet you would blow up and have more viewers. Check out kings and generals for reference. The subscribers you have now are most likely History Nerds and lovers lol including me, but If you want the average Joe or Jane I would try to do the video thing.
During the interrogation of Joan they only seem Interested in one thing mainly and that is her sword. I always found that very interesting. They ask her about it incessantly.
stop constantly interrupting each-other. It ruins the flow and is annoying. Can't even watch it without shouting "BRO, STFU" at my screen. Edit: Had to stop watching. Too painful.
If you enjoyed this video, please like and leave a comment. It helps the channel a lot. Many thanks.

Have you started collecting the book series on it yet? Book V just released recently.
Love your note on Charles' funeral service for Edward III. "We may be mortal enemies but we don't have to be dicks about it"
I love how for this episode AM assigned Columba and Marcus to cover specific parts of his presentation so there wouldn't be too many tangents and in the end we got the longest stream from the series yet.

Love you all. Columba please interrupt the master less.
Ditto,
hey wait wait I have something I have to say before u finish your comment. wait wait wait wait
And just one more thing...
love these streams. each feels like a journey (in a good way) that i’m always satisfied with by the end
This stream was the first of AM’s that I watched some months ago(after I had a sudden interest in St Joan of Arc). I’ve now reworked my way back to it after watching the various series in order.
These are fucking awesome, thank you for these!
I'm just here for my man La Hire.
Brilliant podcast 👏 👌 👍
Excellent. Until now, all I've had was Juliet Barker's book on Agincourt.
This channel is brilliant and this was an excellent run down of the conflict, cheers guys.
One thing though, I think Columba interrupts his co-hosts too much, which is a pity.
Ditto,
That "English!" at 1:52:50, top notch

Why were people in the past so much less willing to pay tax. People today can pay 50% or more of their income in taxes, but just accept it.

A warbow archer would be doing well to shoot 5 perhaps 6 a minute. 12 a minute or more is nonsense
Just found you guys. Do you guys have a podcast cause these discussions would be great to listen to while at work
