So strange to think that Paris used to be a tiny island in the Seine and now it's a massive agglomeration the size of its own region.
James Tang yeah when i see it first i expect something bigger,i was like, thats paris? Thats it?
James Tang At the time it wasn't the capital yet.
Does anyone know how accurate the video is in this regard? Was Paris really that tiny in the 9th century?
Yeah, but Paris must be quite a young city.

All ancient cities had to be small as everything needed to be in walking distance of everything else. Medieval Europe especially so as the urban population had declined heavily since the Roman Era.
wars in the middle ages in a nutshell:
-We have an Army.
-We have some dope Plague.

*Insert bike meme* "Fucking plague!"

PERFECT! Just slap a picture of a skeleton in there and we're done! :D
Healthcare was, shall we say, of a different type.
Something to think for the guys who dream on time travelling to that era, and think they would excel.
The food might make them sick in a moment. No central heating, air conditioning: window opened. The clothes would be of such material, your skin might be rubbed sore. No super markets. And your phone wouldn't work.
Charles the bald doesnt look bald to me
Cvetomir Georgiev maybe he wore a wig?
Maybe he hasil long hair but his center of the head ia bald
Hilmi Prabowo oof
Maybe its not his head they imply.
It's supposedly because he held no lands for a long time after his brothers were already kings.
3:44 *there once was hero named Ragnar the red who came riding to Whiterun from ol’ Rorikstead*
@Ageof Wolves Father of Rigmor...?
Robbie Kite You have cominted crimes against Skyrim and her people !!
My thought when I saw Ragnar with the red background around his portrait.
I see the Siege of Paris
I remember ragnar lothbrok and Vikings
I click
As long as you dont take anything to be real history from the show Vikings then that is good.
Names. times, places, facts, dates, is all mixed up and mangled together and used where it shouldnt.
And then there is a bunch of hollywood fantasy ofc ( know the show isnt created from hollywood, its a saying)
I do like the vikings, as the fantasy show it is.
@@mattijohansen3471 i just wish the characters weren't dressed as bikers :'( imagine how cool the show would've been if they used historically accurate equipment instead of leather obscenities

Middle Francia, what a border gore mess that is.
Matthijs vW
Still is....
Ah! EU4
That's why western and eastern francia quickly took the part above the Alps.
It's like being between France and Germany...
I'm amazed that Lothair agreed to that treaty. But maybe those days such distances couldn't be travelled fast, so the locals could defend them pretty easy, except againt the main army of a country. They seemed to realy heavily on local petty kings, so thay each protected their own territories, which were not shaped like that - they were likely in a necklace shape, and the whole empire was a collection of those countries.
Your channel is a gold mine! Congrats for creating such a great content!
love your videos mate
You also very creative #knowledgia
As poor as your videos completely devoid of the powers in Rome and their maneuverings.
The good old time when Bulgaria and The Frankish Empire had a common border...
We will get that frankish kingdom back!
@@Eric-bf7iy yeah that's not gonna happen.
@@husseinalsharaa202 yes it will
@@Eric-bf7iy It's probably gonna be called The Islamic Republic of Frankistan by then 😂😂😂😂
Note: "Dane" is usually used in Viking Age history as a synonym for "Viking" or "Northmen", unless it's talk about people from Denmark in specific.
We never talk about people of Danmark
Among the english.
France: actually Ragnar you can't stay anymore
Ragnar: COWABUNGA IT IS
By the gods, Vikings: War of Clans is a godawful game, but I don't care what helps you make videos of such quality, I'll go download it now.
Now, who wants to be king?
Ivar does.
*sticks sword in the dirt*

It's really awesome how you guys put topics like this one back into its context. Really allows people to grasp what happened, and most of all why ! Keep up the great work. :)
Awesome !
Damn no one recognised you lol
DO THE SIEGE OF MINAS TIRITH FROM THE BOOKS NOT THE MOVIE
ps I didn’t come up with this idea

Joey Kevorkian you have my like!
Álvaro Martín Alén Fernández lol you dont have to spam
They are entertaining and gives us another "setpiece" than eurasia and africa (the areas baz has covered)
Álvaro Martín Alén Fernández Agree, why fiction battles? History > Fairytales
I cannot believe I couldn't find this channel earlier this years! all the videos are just awesome and provide with lots of hours/minutes of pure history! Thanks for the videos! still today in 2021!
Fun fact: the son of Louis the German, Charles the Fat (I am not making this up), had to endure a similar siege of Paris, but this time, the city held on, and with truly epic fashion. There is a particular story about a tower with just 12 men inside, that continued to mock and defy the Vikings, even when all hope was lost.
Your videos are perfect. The pre-battle lead-up sets the context and the post-battle follow-up explains the importance of the battle. The end-notes are also informative! Keep it up.
Love your videos Baz! I actually knew a little bit about this one since coincidentally I wrote a paper on it 6 years ago (I am by no means a historian) and it was almost nostalgic for me seeing you replay it. Very cool one, happy you did Siege of Paris
Bazbattles and kings and Generals in one day! I love Sundays
what do you mean kings and generals didn't release anything today? or you're a patreon maybe
Shahbaz M I’m looking forward to this
Really awesome animation, guys! Your videos are always so impressive!
The Viking Sagas are fantastic to read about and listen too. More video's on this should be made.
While Floki yell: I CAN TELL YOU THE GODS ARE WITH US!
please cover the Battle of Mühldorf which was fought near Mühldorf am Inn on September 28, 1322 between the Duchy of (Upper) Bavaria and Austria.
THANKS! ^^
Thank you dear sir for more Vikingar!
Hi man i just want to say that our history teacher always shows us your videos to be informed and i enjoy them everytime:)
Bravo!, fascinating video my ancestors were vikings its nice to know what they got up2 and how they settled all over europe, this is one of the most interesting history vids ive seen on utube, keep up the good work, and wow another seige paris has had to endure in its history!
1 hour this has been up and nearly 10k views far out!!! Love the videos mate!
"It might be the famous Ragnar Lothbrok, be we can't say for sure. Oh yeah and once the franks remove him as a vassal he just casually comes back with a hundred longships under his command" Which by the way is between 2,000 and 6,000 men, now that might not seem like a much hell that might even seem damn right small but I'd like to point out that nearly 8 decades previous Charlmagne's Empire in it's prime could only muster 8,000 to 10,000 men and that was an empire so in reality the amount of raiders this Ragnar commanded was a damn insane number by that time period's standards, hell I'm pretty sure that the only army assembled bigger in that same century was the literal Great Heathen army that invaded England.
MelkorXMairon well yeah sure but those armies are small compared to the amount of men the romans could muster. Even during republican (when it was still just mostly italiy) times they could muster more men than the bigger kingdoms of medieval europe.
The initial great heathen army had around 2000
Actually the Umayyad/Abassid caliphates armies werefar larger in that century.
The Franks could muster much larger forces. But the point of MelkorXMairon is kinda valid. The force which attacked Paris was large for a Viking raid. Only a prominent Viking could have rallied such a force.
+Mayonnaise Honestly when I said 8,000 to 10,000 I was remembering wrongly and my mind had jumped to the more professional elements in Charlemagne's armies, so that was my bad for missremembering.
+Krypto I was referring to Europe, but the Abbassids and Umayyads were actually becoming decentralized in that century, though well the abbassid caliphate may have had larger armies the Umayyads only had larger armies in technicality in reality they weren't nearly as strongly united as they appeared.
+Taran Jones Initially though the great heathen army swelled in size rather quickly, some sources put their numbers much much higher.
+Hazzmati That wasn't really my point and I'm well aware of that.
Just subbed! Love these videos. Big fan of history, ancient warfare and strategy games so this is great.
Keep up the fantastic work
FINALLY! I've been waiting for your new video for ages!
Ragnar!!!
Ragnar! We want you back!!
XtraFalcon ...lies dead in the Nurthhumbrian dirt! :D
@Louise X Bjørn Jernside
@@joetheperformer his death comes without apology
You fucking spoilers
Ragnar did raid Paris, but unlike the series Vikings, the stratagem used to capture the city was used by his son in Italy
Rizahri And Rollo came two hundred years after Ragnar
hum bro, ragnar lodbrok is not a fictional charachter and is one of the greatest viking figures who ever lived xDDD idk what you're saying xD
Rizahri Wtf? Maybe read what Transylvanian says first. He's taking his information from actual research that was done, indeed telling us that Ragnar Lothbrok likely never existed, and was more of a mix of different vikings whose stories were woven into one person.
transylvanian Yeah indeed. It seems like you're quite the expert in Norsemen history, that's cool man!
The series actually has a very similar version of events to what happened here, where he faced two armies on opposite sides of the river, attacked one of them first and wiped them out, and then hanged the heads of the prisoners to intimidate the people on the other side.
Except in the series he did it in Mercia, and didn't besiege a city afterwards.
Great workmanship and very accessible stories. A very valuable channel. I wish you success and look forward for more.
This is honestly one of my favorite channels on CZcams.
Another great video! Could you possibly do some videos on Aegon's Conquest and the American Civil War? Those would be awesome!
0:01Hmmm , sponsored by King Ragnar Lodbrok aren't we ?
No it isn't ironic at all, if anything it's coincidental though more likely it's entirely intentional.
Mea culpa
All hail earl Ragnar
Flavius Belisarius Not your timeline Belisarius
Oh yes! I watched Vikings Season 3 awhile ago and it had the Siege of Paris. It was just amazing! Thanks Baz!
Please keep doing more about the Vikings!
A small error but nor Charlemagne nor Louis the Pious were Holy Roman Emperor, they were Emperor of the Western Empire. Holy Roman Emperor is the anglicization of the title given to Otto in 962 when the Holy Roman Empire was formally established.
Wrong. He was given the title "Romanorum Imperator", which simply means "Emperor of the Romans". The "Holy" part wasn't added until the 13th century, true, but it's a nifty title that distinguishes them from the actual Roman Emperors which died out in the west in 476 and in the east in 1204 or 1453 depending on your point of view.
Asmoh why do you people keep repeated that same Voltair line every time the HRE is mentioned? Is it supposed to be some sort of statement? Do you think it makes you sound smart? Well what is it?
Óðinn it's just to make fun of the HRE. The HRE is seen as a failed project that just leeched off the success of the actual Roman Emperors. The it's not a empire relates to how in the 13th century central authority became extremely weak even for dark age standards and it basically became a whole bunch of tiny states. The it's not Roman relates to how it leeched off the glory of Rome partly because they had so little success of their own. Finally it's not holy used to talk about how it mostly became protestant but in modern day it's used to make fun of how evil they actually were while claiming to be holy. Of course most countries were what we call evil during the dark ages. For those reasons people like to make fun of the Holy Roman Empire.
"The it's not Roman relates to how it leeched off the glory of Rome partly because they had so little success of their own."
it is mostly because most of the territory of the HRE was never romanized. the danube was the natural frontier of the roman empire. the vast majority of the HRE was north of it.
claiming roman ancestry was silly.
@@islamisthetruth3402 "Holy" ---> due to the coronation by the Pope, "Roman" ---> Due to the same reasons as before ---> "Empire" Debatable during it's late stages, but it did indeed start out as an empire.
As a Swede I never thought I'd say this. But well done Danes, you made me proud
As a Dane I never thought i’d say this. But thank you Swede;)

Sacking an un defended city, killing innocent people going about their daily lives trying to make the best of a bad situation. Nothing to be proud about here mate.
I love learning about the medieval era, but doing so has made me realise that they were all a bunch of cunts... The only people i hear suffering in this day and age were women and kids.
Fabulous channel. The music always gives me chills.
Yoooo! This vid looks awesome! Keep up the awesome work Baz! I keep waiting for more videos!
Does that mean we will have a part 2 with the Siege of Paris in 885 defended by Odo ?
oOkenzoOo The Siege of Paris Part 2 Frankish Boogaloo
Adam Roberts Viking 2 the return. They will be back !
Rolf the walker defended it against the vikings also, became Norman and fathered a child called William who later went over to English lands and conquered much of them.
Mitchell Birkhead Not exactly the same timeline. Some sources say Rolf leaded the siege of Paris in 885 and he was granted lands in the North of France near Rouen in 911 to stop his raids.
Viking history is difficult to lock down because there is a small amount of actual written works by them. It was past down mostly through story and song.
Makes me wanna play CK2
CZcams Account which end up staring at the map for hours not knowing what to play.

or modding without even playing the game xD
Please do more of Vikings, I really think they are one of the most interesting people.
thanks ! I love those videos where we can see the moves and maps.
"Build enormous armies to crush your enemies!" ...if you spend enough money to get past the lowest levels or want to work on your game until 15 minutes before you die of old age...
The danish states also included Skåne at that time. :)
Denmark didnt really effectively unite until the rule of Harald Blátönn 958-986 and was before that two and sometimes three different kingdoms. It is difficult to say exactly when it united due to lack of sources from the period (we for an example know much more about the formations of Iceland and Norway than we do Denmark and Sweden mostly just due to most of the Sagas being written by Icelanders) But according to the sagas his father Gormr Gamli did rule as king of Denmark after having subjected his neighbour and the sagas claim that Denmark had been separated until that point, But the "Jelling Stones" contradict that claiming Harald Blátönn won all of Denmark. However the bottom line is that in 845 what was and wasn't a danish state wasn't so clear cut.
Fantastisch! Danke, für die Beleuchtung solcher eigentlich unbekannteren Epochen!
Now THIS is a good maped history channel 👏 good job . keep it up
Recreate this event in Mount & Blade : Viking Conquest ***
Charles the Bald has a lot of hair, lol.
I could watch these all day
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had to do a presentation on this and it wasn’t making any sense. Now it does ❤
Battle of the Blackwater Bay (ACOK) next?
Go Go Ragnar!!!
Some of these animated history channels are absolutely superb!
Man , been waiting for long time for a video!!! Nice surprise for a lazy Sunday .
Mans gotta eat.
This guy gets it ;)
just want to mention that the trivia text in the end cards is often presented for a too short time. I barely can finish reading before it switches to the next one. While English is not my first language, my reading is surely not the slowest. Can you change that in the next ones?
But awesome videos nontheless of course
You could just pause the video.
So pause the video?
Der Sheriff Pause the video my brother/sister.
wouldn't it be amazing if ALL CZcams VIDEOS HAVE A FUNCTION TO PAUSE IT?
amazing indeed...
I'm fully aware of this. I could keep each card on screen slightly longer, but after all it's just plain text and I don't really want to artificially make the video longer. If that's inconvenient, I'm sorry!
Love this work man
Thank you so much for doing this.
could you do the siege of Lisbon?
Will you also do The Siege of Paris of 885-886?
thanks for the documentary.
4:55 I love the little shield walls popping from the boxes when fighting
Don't need to see the video to put on no like! Awesome content as always....keep it up!

Oars.
Some of the best ships built ever with a great crew of strong norsemen with oars, not really complicated

Alanna Baker yes
Have you ever heard of a row boat? Now scale that up and make it longer.... If that's something you have to wonder then perhaps you should go back to school.
Great video. Love it and the animations are nice.
oh boy, new baz battles video and a new kings and generals video on the same day!
This is inaccurate. I’ve seen Vikings so I know how really the fall of Paris happened! ;)
Jk, great vid as always:)
How is it portrayed in Vikings?
Chance they gave credit to Ragnar Lothbrok but yeah seems about same
@@niksarass In Vikings it is very over-dramatized. (SPOILER ALERT FROM HERE ON) The Siege of Paris was much longer in the show, and the vikings attempted to storm the castle twice, both times they were defeated by a very well manned garrison with high walls and very well prepared anti-siege weapons such as boiling oil until Ragnar came up with the plan of pretending to be dead and be buried inside, only to jump out and take the emperor's daughter hostage. In real life, the sack of Paris was pretty much just one single assault and it was over.
Charles was nammed "the bald" because once he shaved his hair as a sign of submission to the church. At this time, according to Frankish traditions, you couldn't be King without long hair.
Loved it. Hope you make a series on Otto the Great at one point or another.
Thank you for the great work
Vikings could have been even better than it was if it decided to stick to actual history.
Anyone else here in 2020 due to Assassin's Creed Valhalla?
Gradually accumulating information which makes sense of the compressed and conflated history given in the series Vikings. In this case, it was the battle where the defending army was on either side of the river, which the series placed in Mercia. Thanks.
So weird, just watched this episode in vikings this morning. what a time to be alive
4:56 That second Frankish detachment should have used the opportunity to destroy the longboats. That wouldn't have won the battle, but it would have considerably weakened the vikings.
How? Boats were also on other side of the river.
The vikings used their longboats to maneuver around locations and to retreat before reinforcements could arrive. By destroying their boats, the vikings would have been stranded there and reinforcements could have been called in to overwhelm them.
As for the river, it might be shallow enough to ford.
The Seine might be shallow enough to ford?
If they could've they would've
How do you suggest they simply destroy them? its a lot easier said then done. Soaking wet boats are not easy to put on fire imagine trying to do that with a pair of flint stones. Which is why Greek fire have been sought after.
Trying to chop it to pieces with your most expensive item(your sword) would not be ideal. imagine the vikings turning around seeing a bunch of franks trying to chop them in to pieces. That would have given them a good laugh.
And knights where not invented yet, so if they had destroyed them it would be highly unlikely that the franks would have cavalry(they probably had some, but far from the numbers required to chase and take down that army.
DO THE WAR OF THE RING OR THE WAR AGAINST THE HARADRIM OR EASTERLINGS!!!!!!!
Good video, although I hadn't noticed the date in the title of the video and wa expecting a video of the battle of Paris from the time when Napoleon was on the back foot.
This latter battle was quite a battle.
Another excellent submission, thank you! As an aside, I almost thought that said Merica next to the Welsh States lol.
BATTLE OF PRESSBURG PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE
I named my son Ragnar after reading Bernard Cornwell's "The Last Kingdom".

Fantastic History!
Unpopular opinion: Vikings were honorless cowards who attacked the weakest and undefended parts of Europe...all while committing unspeakable atrocities that were not that common for the time. Yet they are somehow revered by illiterate people p this day because of some tv show...
First
Long live the Vikings!
Please do the Battle of Towton. It was one of the biggest battles of the medevil ages and the largest of the War of the Roses. A series on the Wars of the Roses would be even more incredible. Attempt #10
Fun fact about the vikings:
The Danes did not take up violence for no reason. Charlemagne's conquests dealt great tolls of life on the Danes and the surrounding pagan tribes. There's a famous incident where Charlemagne forced a whole community of 4500 to 5000 to convert to Christianity, and executed all of them anyway. While not necessarily unique for the time. Those actions, under the banner of Charlemagne's Franks and Christianity, pushed the Danes to retaliate against the Franks on the Northern coasts of modern day France, and the people of the British Isles on their entire coastline.
love this one already
always a great move when you control the river to face one side ..with all your men to get superiority :d..i think the Vikings tv series did such a fight early in the series which is problably taken from this battle :D ..nicely done commentary & vid as always [bows in homage :D] but if I remember my history , a few years later , they had increased the defences of Paris with towers and were better prepared the next time , they came a calling :D [and of course later recruiting Rollo , other Vikings to counter the raiders , for the cost of Normandy ...]
awesome content! Watched the other videos as well, would be great if another full campaign can be pictured in similar fashion as the first crusade or Alexander the Great :)
I love these videos
I love watching this channel when I'm baked idek why but thanks :)
