You're incredible man! Your work always blows My mind!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Any game app that uses that same standard copy/paste base building game is pure garbage.
I hope to seen a video about the battle patay in 1429 that the true turning point of the hundre year war and the batle where the english army was destroy english only yt forget this batle even if it probaly one the 3 big batle of the war with agincourt and crecy
@HistoryMarche - Not meant as criticism, but just a heads up, at 6:15 the spoken words are, "a sixteen thousand strong", the number on screen isn't sixteen thousand. It's a small thing, but just, so you know.
the random kid shooting the cannon by accident and somehow taking out the english general is very much one of the moments of all time
Dad: Are you winning son??
Son: I sniped a general with a cannon.
It is indeed a moment in time lol
Dad: Son, did you fire that damn cannon again?
Son: No, no, no. It...ugh...fired by itself
Empire: Total War moment
First No scope ever recorded. True MTG moment.
If it wasn't for the fact that Joan of Arc was a real historical person, a movie about her would seem so far fetched that no body would produce it as unbelievable.
And yet there are many films that talk about Joan of Arc, the most recent seems to me to be this one by Luc Besson.
Early 2000s if I'm not mistaken.
@@olivierpuyou3621yup
@@olivierpuyou3621 Because she is a well known historical
person, many movies have been produced about her. My point was that her escapades are well known, so a movie about her accepted. If she had not existed, any movie about a 17 year old girl saving France would be looked upon as fantasy.

"Joan took a crossbow bolt to the throat, and miraculously recovered the next day to rejoin the fighting."
Yep. She's the main character.
A shame it wasn’t an arrow to knee…. Ehhh??😅
Her life in general is one big YA novel:
The kingdom has been defeated by an invading enemy over and over, their most powerful lord has betrayed them, and they can't even crown the new king because the sacred site is deep behind enemy lines. Then Joan - a teenage peasant girl with no money, titles or military knowledge - arrives at the un-crowned king's court and tells everybody she has a vision from God telling her how to save the kingdom.
They're either convinced or desperate enough to kit her out and send her to relieve a city under siege... where she rallies the defenders and wins the battle, then fights all the way to the sacred site and sees the king crowned, and then later her death inspires the kingdom to drive out the invaders altogether.
The only thing missing is the random love triangle between an arrogant tsundere prince and a peasant boy from her village.

If it would be fake why would there be only one?
The morale Joan gave to the french can’t be overestimated, her victories reignited the french morale and caused the already bickering English nobility into further chaos.
Also the consistent poor leadership in this period is laughable- when man power, particularly England’s professional troops, were low they were still wasted in multiple areas- some men even went to fight in the Hussite wars during this period.
The point of the English fighting was always for the spoil, not for any strategic reason.
You mean understated?
@@SolidAvenger1290 The Corps system invented by Napoleon went way beyond "utilizing artillery". It was a system that divided the army into Corps, each of which could march, forage and fight independently (i.e. had its own infantry, cavalry and artillery detachments, as well as its own logistical capabilities). Charles' use of the French army in 1428 is incomparable to Napoleon's Corps system in 1805.
Exerpt from Wiki: Corps replaced divisions as the largest army units, mobile artillery was integrated into reserve batteries, the staff system became more fluid, and cavalry *returned* as an important formation in French military doctrine.
@@williambranch4283 BS.
@@QuadDamage666 Why are you having a rage rant about history under a random comment?
Also, why aren't you speaking Old English if you're so concerned about Britain being conquered by Normans?
There's nothing wrong with saying "English nobility" when they were the nobles ruling England. The Normans weren't some interlopers who conquered England and were evicted. They conquered England in 1066 and the last rebellion to oppose it was in 1071. By the time of the 100 years war, they had ruled England for 266 years.
England started the 100 years war. That's a historic fact. It's not as if France started it. Anyone who knows a bit about the time period knows the complex reasons for the conflict.
Joan was actually a very accomplished siege strategist, a natural really. Her tactics for defeating the english siegeworks were, and this might get complicated, but it basically went like this:
*"Get 'em!"*
Right, her advice was always to charge.
My type of woman
I like to think she said "git em boyyyys".
I was expecting a detailed and fleshed out explanation of her tactics and brilliance. You sir, gave me that and more! Well done!
@@rickjames18 I need to rewatch easy history about her again
Imagine you are John, Duke of Bedford. You are the English regent, and after the passing of your brother, King Henry V, you've taken the reins of the war, winning victory after victory against the French. Orléans is the key to the south; if it falls, the war is as good as won. You've been sieging the place for 6 months now, and you're positively certain it's about to fall. You've gone so far as to jeopardize your alliance with Burgundy over it, that's how sure you are of your success. Soon, your late brother's dream of an unified Kingdom of France and England, spanning from Provence to Cumbria, will finally be realized, and your name will be remember among the greatest conquerors of all time.
And then some insane fanatical tomboy just shows up one day, starts screaming in the general direction of your army, and somehow nine days later this siege you've been conducting for half a year completely collapses and you lose half your men and one of your best generals. And just to add salt to the wound, the tomboy then ends up becoming a legend people still talk about centuries later, while you are mostly relegated to the footnotes of history.
Untrue !
Jehanne la Pucelle was not insane fanatical tomboy
and she didn't ''just showed up'' ! Exactly the opposite.
All this started in 1428, she was recruited by Yolande d'Anjou,
playing that Merlin prophecy , well known during the 15th century ;
a young woman to come from the far away borders to save a country
from a nasty invader !
She was not ''screaming'' on the battlefield,
screaming on a battleground with 5000 troops is totally illogical ,
second , she had no connection with the men at arms, the mercenaries or archers. Only with the various military leaders.
It took more than a year to bring all the supplies (paid by Yolande d'Anjou)
to Blois and in March/April 1429, then they were transferred to Orléans ,
end of April using the Loire for transportation.
The Scots were already there.
It does appears that Jehanne just showed up, in reality this Orléans' operation
was in action behind the scene, months before !
When the English realized that Orléans had become a military center, compared to the previous year, they simply left !!
When Jehanne la Pucelle died in 1431, she was forgotten ,
even Regnault de Chartres and George de LaTrémoulle advised Charles to distance himself from Jehanne' memory.
Why ?
The English were saying out loud that Charles VII had obtained the crown
using an heretic woman and therefore, his coronation was invalid !
Charles VII used the Rehabilitation Trial to deflect the English claim !
This political story, that nasty struggle between two royal families including the Burgundians , became a ''religious story '' about 1840.
That is why the Roman Catholic Paris Church requested in 1879 , not before,
the application for the Maid of Orléans, ( her new name ) for sainthood .
Why in 1879 ?
You answer is there !!
He took it quite well.
Anybody got a match?

Joan having the power to strenghten the french morale and lower the english is briliant. Cant wait for the second part of this beautiful history. thank you History Marche.
It doesn't end well
@@harleymilani1552 I know
She always gave thanks to God and convinced the men it was the will of God as to fight on. She never took credit for it, she was a humble messenger and stalwart banner holder. Very interesting character
It's because they used the term 'God'
@itsyuupYeah ikn right?i
I think you should mention the battle of Patay, which took place shortly after the siege of Orléans. This confrontation (curiously unknown, but nonetheless decisive...) can be considered a disaster for the English forces. A disaster with just as many consequences as Agincourt was for the French.
I'm betting it will be next.
Yeah, but since longbow being massacred were commoners at Patay while people who got massacred at Agincourt were nobles, Agincourt got most of the attention.
France cheated after Agincourt and got new army stacks.
France is basically Mordor.
@@mrsupremegascon This is true, but John Talbot and many English officers were captured at Patay. John Fastolf was also disgraced as a result of this defeat. Patay therefore deprived the English of elite officers and troops. The battle marked the end of the supremacy of the archers in favour of artillery (improved by the French). In this sense, it is comparable - in its effects - to Agincourt and Crécy.
@@mrsupremegascon sure, but longbows users, although commoners, were especially long and difficult to train, even compared to knights.
Skulls of these troops from this period show deformation due to the repeated use of longbow since their childhood. Once most of the longbow users were killed or maimed, the English army had no advantage, especially since the remaining longbow users had to face artillery, better protected cavalry, and better lead French around 1430-1450s.
The French commander La Hire is pronounced something like "la Ear". Thanks for reminding Dunois was from royal blood and was known as the bastard not because he was a vile person but because he had no royal mother... Great series, great episode, always the best quality in realization, narration and of course historical knowledge!
He was a bastard because his birth mother wasn't married to his father.
@@frankie3010 true, thanks for correcting me
"La Hire wishes to kill something"
All I know is his sword is dry!
@@thebabylonian109I see. You're a man of culture as well.
Joan of Arc. My God. You wouldn't think it credible, but for the fact it's all true.
Have faith and never give up. An inspiring lesson for all.
Make the Crown Prince of France love you only
Alternatively- have a mental illness and be surrounded by ignorant religious brutes whose motivations and emotions can only be moved by an imaginary guy who will make your death more awesome than the terrible life you're forced to lead by the nobles lmao. This is a great story and most notable for a mass psychotic event
@@robcanisto8635 No, she was the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, and she was unable to prove himself, and the French king thought he was in love with her
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j
Who was the nobleman ?
Charles the Dauphin and later Charles VII was not in love with anyone, especially not with his wife Marie, the daughter of Yolande d'Anjou. He rejected her.
Charles VII was provided with numerous young mistresses most of his life !
It was also a way to keep him away from the bureaucracy, the establishment, the real power.
@@RayB1656 La Hire, the Bastard of Orleans, Charles VII, and Gilles de Rais were all infinitely better men than you will possibly become. You are truly without value.
Dunois didn't refuse to face the English at all.
On the contrary, they went out to meet them, but after an hour of the two armies facing each other statically, the english eventually retreated.
skill issue lol
Joan forbade an attack, because it was a Sunday. So the French army stood firm but did not attack, and the English didn't dare attack.
@mutantraniE Indeed, Dunois and his captains were actually confident in crushing the english, even more so when they saw them retreating.
But Joan simply wouldn't allow it.
They also took communion while out on the field if I recall correctly
The french didnt fought cause it was a Sunday, and Jeanne d'Arc Ask them not toi fight the day of God, exept if the english began the fight
Its crazy how every week your team can upload 30 Minute long videos, Thank you for talking about the Siege of Orleans!
love ur vids
Joan offers an example of how much power the simple notion of hope has in battle. or, as someone wisely said it: "A man who thinks he's going to die can usually find a way to do so." Joan's message, that the French still had a chance to prevail, was what the men of France needed to hear, and the English treatment of her once she was captured solidified their resolve to win the war for The Maid who had died for them.
This series has been great! Reading about the 100 Years War just cannot compare to seeing it fleshed out like this. Thank you everyone at HistoryMarche for the hard work on this series.
Couldn't have said it better myself! Love seeing military history in this format.
My French mother gave me the middle name of Jean Bart. For my entire life I have told Jean Bart's story many times as privateer and French Navy commander. His statue stands at the Musee de Marine in Paris as father of the French Navy. France has always named a capital ship in his honor.
That Python reference... Well done, @HistoryMarche. Well done indeed.
_Now go away or i shall taunt you a second time!_
I feel taunted!😜
Joan of Arc was not, as is often said, a poor shepherdess tending sheep (although she must have kept some as a little girl). But the daughter of a "relatively" wealthy family.
For superstitious people of the Middle Ages, to see a 17-year-old girl cross Burgundy allied with the English, succeed in obtaining an interview with the Dauphin, obtain armour, sword, horses, lead "or more exactly co-lead an army", just before her arrival a random shot that kills the English leader, a crossbow bolt in the throat that only puts her out of action for a few hours....
Inevitably she was a divine envoy and God was truly on France's side.
No doubt it really boosts morale.
France putting out a waifu from a desesperate period, is like an anime synopsis.
The more I learn about Jeanne, the more I'm impressed by her and her companions.
I was about to comment on that. Although the difference may be lost to most modern viewers, she was not a peasant's daughter, but the child of a free farmer, working his own land. The fact that (part of) her ancestral house is still standing is testament to the fact that she was not born into a hovel. Remember that farming was the principal means of existence in the MAs. A knight's mansion was a fortified farmhouse. A count was a 'lord farmer'. It was only the Dukes who were primarily army commanders.
Compare the difference to that between a wage-slave and an entrepreneur. Even at equal skill levels, the first has, at best, responsibilities, to his family, to his lord, and to God; the latter has authority over his own land and actions.
Which is quite a difference in upbringing.
What a coincidence! This morning i watched all your videos regarding the hundred years war and i thought to myself why isnt there any siege of Orleans video? Hours later there you go releasing one.Its like you went in my head. Awesome stuff.
Thank so much for watching. I am adding more videos to the Hundred Years' War fairly quickly now. Cadzand, Sluys, Crecy, Calais, Patay + the 2nd phase of the war (3 videos) are all in production. I want to create a mega Hundred Years' War playlist

Great vid 👍
The English seem to have a bad track record with any place with the word Orleans in it. The Lost the Battle of Orleans and in 1815 they lost the Battle of New Orleans.

Don't worry, there's a lot more from where that came from. One loss and you people instantly need to go cope. Jesus.
There is a small mistake at the end, the French army accepted the proposition of battle made by English and but the English army retreated !

If I saw a girl get shot in the throat with a crossbow bolt and come back to the front lines later in the day, I might begin to believe she was special.
Plot armor.
Even without that seeing a 17 year old farm girl at that time convience adults proud experience men to fight for her, even that is unreal. She was fighting along them seeing the horror of wars, not many can handle that.
Jehanne la Pucelle, a woman , not a girl
received a flesh wound on the side of the neck from an English bodkin pin arrowhead.
At the time , she was behind a protective wooden fence at the base of the fortress wall, with a group which were protecting the soldiers (with their swords), has they were climbing the walls using wooden ladders.
She was moved to the main camp and a clay with honey and meat was applied to stop the infection .
She returned after a few hours of rest.
She was also tired and not fighting, since the previous night she had stepped on a metal pitfall ,
she was painfully limping !
In 1429, a shot in the throat would have been fatal , death in a very short moment !
What a truly remarkable series of events! Great video, I've enjoyed this series immensely.⚔🔥🙌

Thank you for the great documentary!!!!
Excellent! Loved this so much!
Historymarche rules the battlefield once again.!!
as real as history can be...thank you
Another excellent video. Keep going!
Sick I was waiting for this episode 🤙
To be precise :
A detail but Saint James is pronounced Saint "Jame", the "S" is silent. That the north-western french version of Jacques (Jacob - Jacobus in Latin). The name James in english comes from directly from that version, since a lot of Britons were in William the Conqueror army.
"La Hire" (The Anger) is pronounced La "eer".
But thank you for all of your efforts to try to pronounce french names correctly in all your videos. As a french viewer, I do appreciate that!
Also, Joan of Arc didn't heard some vague voices or dreams but according to her, had clear visions of Saint Catherine, Marguerite and Saint Michel (patron Saint of France), giving her three tasks :
- liberating Orléans
- crowning Charles VII
- liberating the Duke of Orléans
For the record, Joan convinced Charles VII to trust her after a one-to-one meeting, the details of which are unfortunately unknown (undoubtedly one of the greatest mysteries of French history). In any case, it would appear that Joan reassured Charles VII that he was not a bastard. His mother had declared that Charles VII was a bastard, which undermined the king's self-confidence.
Joan was also Queen of France for a few minutes. Indeed, there was an episode known as the "triple donation". Joan asked Charles VII to give her the Kingdom of France, which he did. Then Joan declared that she was giving the Kingdom to Christ, who then gave it back to Charles through Joan. All of these acts were notarised. So Charles no longer had any doubts about his legitimacy before God. So, technically, Joan was officialy Queen of France for few minutes!
Joan of Arc history is quite an unbelievable one! It lasted only two years but it left an eternal mark on French history and French minds!
Great video. If I may, "La Hire" is pronounced [la iʁ], with the "i" of Hire pronounced like the "ea" of seat. And the "H" is not pronounced.
I'm happy it seems you've planned to make a video on the Loire campaign, without which the victory at Orleans wouldn't have the same meaning!
By the way, the French accepted the English proposition of battle at the end of the siege. However, after an hour of facing each other, the English withdrew.
Joan's arrival probably had them spooked
French is really hard for non french persons. I don't understand why pronunciation has to be so much different than how it's written.
@@TheLucky994
In French, La Hire is pronounced like it's written. The narrator pronounced it as he would have pronounced an English name. In French "i" is prounced like the "ea" of seat.
Also, English isn't exactly a language where words are pronounced like they are written lol
No matter how often i hear this story i can never get enough.

Dear History March team,😊😊
I have been an avid viewer of your channel for quite some time, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible documentaries you create. Your dedication to bringing history to life is truly commendable.
I have a suggestion for a documentary that I believe would captivate your audience's attention and shed light on a pivotal moment in history - the Imjin War and the Battle of Myeongnyang. This remarkable event, led by Admiral Yi Sun-sin, holds a wealth of intriguing stories and strategic brilliance that deserve to be shared with the world.
Admiral Yi Sun-sin's astonishing victory against a formidable Japanese navy, with only 13 ships under his command, is a testament to his unwavering determination, ingenious tactics, and unparalleled leadership. Exploring the tactics he employed, the challenges he overcame, and the indomitable spirit of his crew would not only provide a gripping narrative but also offer valuable insights into the art of warfare and leadership.
By delving into this remarkable historical event, you would not only educate your viewers about a lesser-known aspect of history but also inspire them with the resilience of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his brave sailors. The story of the Battle of Myeongnyang is a shining example of how courage, strategic thinking, and resourcefulness can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.
I believe that your talented team has the expertise to bring this story to life in a compelling and informative manner. Your dedication to historical accuracy and engaging storytelling would undoubtedly do justice to the significance of this event.
Thank you for considering my suggestion. I eagerly await the possibility of seeing a History March documentary that explores the awe-inspiring triumph of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and the Battle of Myeongnyang.😊😊
Amazing content. Thank you!
awesome story telling! big props to the production team as well!!!
The Hundred years war is probably my highlight of the middle ages in terms of wars
In terms of war, sure, if you are looking for that.
But in every other regard, at least for France and England, it was the bleakest part of the Middle Ages (continuous plagues, famines, extreme violence on the common people), and unfortunately the one they are most commonly associated with.

Joan of Arc
This is the most extremely understandable story. Excellent job!
Hope keep doing this easily!
Amazing again!
La Hire would sound something like " La Ear" and means "wrath" / "anger"... some nickname to go by...
Fun Fact: "Joan of Arc" weapon was skilled in the usage of cannons.
This is quite correct.
Jehanne la Pucelle being younger, 22 year-old in 1430, and
not following the old classical early 15th century military tactics,
was able to arrest Franquet d'Arras and all his men, that infamous English pirate from the Loire Valley..
she used '' mobile short canons'' on wooden wheel carts,
it was a first in Charles' army !
My takeaway is, de Dunois deserves the maneuver pips he has in EU4.
HANNIBAL!!
Great video too btw
Nice, keep it up !
My ancestor, John Stewart of Darnley, died assaulting the English at the Battle of Herrings. He came to a fishy end ;-(
I say, he found himself in quite a bit of a pickle didn't he ? 😏
My ancestors are from Blois I had no idea they had an alliance with the Scottish, pretty awesome.
@@steph1433 Hence the saying by the paradigmatic Scott ... "Blois, humbug" ;-)

@@steph1433 To think, if he had lived a few more months, he could have met Joan of Arc ;-)
Joan came from Burgundian territory? have never heard that before when the story is told.
If you ask today the French people what region Joan of Arc came from, 90% will tell you she was Lorraine since Domremy, her native village, is today located in Lorraine. In fact Joan of Arc was from the County of Barrois, a region extending around the town of Bar-le-Duc, which at that time was absolutly not part of Duchy of Burgundy, although regularly threatened or invaded by English and Burgundians. However the County of Barrois continued throughout the conflict to remain loyal to the Kingdom of France.
Excellent Thank you
Thank you for the great content. I very much enjoy your work. 😊
Thank you so much for supporting my work. Very kind of you.
Bruv, I love your video, the maps, the political intrigue, there's a Game of Thrones vibe, I love it, I love it all.
Wonderful upload, I appreciate it.
It's almost as if GRRM used historical events as a backdrop!
@@Nosliw837 well actually it is often said that he took the british history and especially the war of the roses as a template, but I would have to argue that it was European history in general that he was inspired from
Now I have a pretty good idea of the troubles the English were going through before Joan of Arc came onto the scene. Great video. I liked it a lot.
Awesome video !
The blood on la hire's sword is almost dry
I find it hard to beleive that she took a crossbow to the throat and kept on fighting the next day. Perhaps the arrow grazed her neck or hit the shoulder as in Luc Bessons movie...
yep probably only grazed her ,since it missed both artery's and the throat and considering it did not get infected , people at that time didnt have antibiotics , so if anything happened to you all you did is die, it was so bad people dies of diarrhea regularly
Bevoirs are great. I recommend them to anybody doing an assault action in plate.
I would love to see the same treatment of the history of Burgundy up through Charles the Bold. Some dramatic stories there to tell.
So Joan was actually Burgundian, right?
Not sure what you are talking about. I was just asking for a series on Burgundian history done in the same style as the 100 years war.
I love the narrator's way of representing history in front of us. Great voice.
Great content
History channels like this should be protected and promoted to all levels of education. Think about how much kids would be inspired to study history if they seen this quality of content.
The J's don't want people studying history, else people would figure out how subversive they are
Good work. Making history. I'm at your side.
The zoom out showing the Golden Horde helps put things in perspective lol
I'm French and I love these little historical wars with the English.
I don't see them with hatred, it's more like a sporting war between brothers.
Sometimes I wish I was living in the medieval period to experience something like that lol.
3rd century Roman Emperors had a penchant for founding formidable city fortresses
Orleans was founded as Aurelianum by Emperor Aurelian himself. It's obvious he saw the strategic importance of having a fortress like this in Gaul
