i like to think that herny send a speech simular to this only problem is thogh thier was know on ethier to write down what he said but ether way thank you brave english for winning at agincore
Everything about this movie just seems more sincere than the 1944 version... the French seem less cartoonish and cocky, King Henry seems less pompous, and even the dialogue seems to come out more naturally and less written... maybe it's just me.
@MultiAngryguy Now Now lets be honest here its hard to cling to a fantasy and argue about it on the internet for 3 months+. I think one conclusion we can come to is that Hyugry has no life whatsoever
Um I think you will find that William was a Viking you fucking twat. The Normans were of Viking heritage, conquered Normandy then England so please stop with the French thing. England was built from Norman Viking and Saxon heritage....
On another matter, when William I took over England instead of changing the English infrastructure into a more Norman style, he completeley adopted it and tried to apply elements of it in Normandy, as it was, to all intents and purposes, the most efficient, stable and well run kingdom in Western Europe at the time. So the English system was seen as far better than the French one, where William had major problems governing Normandy. So the French didn't make England at all.
And actually, 40% of English vocabulary did not come from French. 28% did. 30% came from Latin, and 25% came from Dutch. languages evolve and cross-fertilise. get over it. Also now you mention it the modern French language has been hugely penetrated by English. to the extent the government has put a limit on the amount of english language songs that can be played on French radio per day (le shopping, le weekend. I could go on...)
And would the British fighting the Germans, Vichy French, Italians and Japanese alone for an entire year also be an example of 'limey cowardice without their allies'?
You have also once again refused to answer the other issues that you consistenly avoid.- your hypocrisy in the one drop theory, and the forced marriage of english widows to Norman aristocracy?
ah so its an understandable tactical move when the French surrender to the germans completely, but when the British AND FRENCH troops retreat to the UK to regroup and consolidate it's British cowardice. Hmmm double standards me thinks. Also see above, you seem to constantly forget that dunkirk was not a case of all the british leaving and all the french fighting. Many many French troops were evacuated in Dunkirk and many British stayed and fought. How do you respond to that?
The fact that many Norman aristocracy did settle and marry English widows, and the fact many English widows were forced to marry settling Norman aristocracy? (See Henry I's Coronation charter)
Also, you keep ignoring all posts that disprove you, so to remind youI would like to revisit the issues of:
Your accusations of British cowardice in WW2 and praise of French valour. What is your response to the complete french surrender to the Nazis and Vichy France.
Your self-contradiction of critisizing the 'one drop' approach when we use it, but your utter reliance on it for when you use it (William I and Scandanavia, Henry II and Saxons, vs. Henry V and England etc.)?
The French surrendering to the Nazi war machine that took the combined war efforts of us Canadians, Americans and the Soviet to finally stop I can understand, specially after you cunts FLED without a fight at Dunkirk & the First French Army held off 7 German divisions away from you at Lille.
But you cowardly limey scum surrendering to 34 000 Japs when you numbered 130 000 that's just incomprehensible
Perfect example of limey cowardice without their allies
I didn't say he spend most of it in England, I said he spent much of it in England. I'd advise you read a little more carefully before you fly off the handle with your racist, and to be entirely blunt, Nazist- supremacist slur. I am not disputing the fact that decendency was not dominant but before you critisize it as an argument the 'one drop' argument was exactly what you used to defend your stance on kings such as Henry V. yet again, your hypocrisy is exposed.
You inferior limey scum hate the French yet you're fucking French half breeds.
The only good thing in you is the French blood.
The French fucking made England and it's history.
What influence did the fucking limeys have on the French? Did the limeys change 40% of the French vocabulary like the French did on the English vocabulary? No lol.
Did you give the French any English architecture? No they gave you theirs.
@hyurgy125 Also Hyugy Gothic architecture originated from France but the countries that adopted it (like England, Germany/Holy Roman Empire and Spain) had their own unique styles. English gothic churches are completely different to French styled churches, read up on Gothic architecture.
oh and your precious Henry II count of Anjou, as well as being educated in England, living much of his life in England, and being the son of Matilda of England, was decendent from the Saxon Kings of England. Oh dear for you.
revoke you entire previous line of argument and accept that the English kings like Henry V, in spite of their ancestors 400 years ago being French, was an Englishman. You are contradicting yourself if you say you were right both times. Choose.
Actually owing to the fact that English widows were forced to marry Norman aristocracy post-conquest in large number, I'd say there was a fair amount of mixing (see Henry I's coronation charter). Yes, that Viking was the head of the entire male line. But if you accept that that is not enough to make him Norse, then you must
cont. he invaded a fourth time and and instead of winning the civil war which had been going on for 19 years the two sides decided to call a truce and that Henry would succeed the King of England after he died. I'd hardly call that a 'conquest'. Now who's the 'Cowardly liar'?
All these men were Frenchmen. What language did they speak in ? English? Nope. French? Yes. Remember that well they spoke FRENCH. Native English culture ENDED in 1066. Well it had before when the Danes made the English their Bitches by ruling the WHOLE of England Just because you see a Ridley Scott movie and have John Lackland speak in English does not mean it was so in reality.
But you limey filth would like to forget that in your hatred of the French.
@hyurgy125 The people living in England still spoke English and there are still Anglo-Saxon churches/buildings dotted around the country, so no, English culture didn't end after the Norman conquest. The language's (Norman-French and Saxon-English) merely merged into 'Middle English'.
Also, on the issue of Henry II, he was actually educated in England and lived there and in Normandy for much of his pre-royal life. And you are wrong. Henry II did not conquer England, far from it. after attempting and failing to invade 3 times in his youth (on one occasion the King of England bailed him out as Henry was his nephew...)
They were given huge swathes of land on the condition that they did not attack again. King Charles gave up because he was scared of them. Chartres wasn't a military defeat on a battlefield, but an unsuccessful siege. they are very different. I never denied that the norman invasion force was not just from Normandy, but the vast majority of the prominent figures who settled were. You really do read what you want to read as opposed to what's written don't you?
Actually hyurgy125 Cameronomics is right, the Normans were the decendants of Viking raiders that settled down there, much to the chargrin of the French. So if we follow your increadibly flawed argument that it doesn't matter how many centuries you and your ancestors have lived in one country, you're still the enthnicity of the one you orginally hailed from, the English were never ruled by the French at all, they were ruled by the Scandanavians. Ooops! There goes your entire argument!
The Norse lost to the French at Chartes but were allowed to settle. The Normans mixed with the French unlike the French nobility with the English filth.
Check out William the conquerors family tree, I know why you wont lol.
NB if you did study history you would know that half of the Norman army came from other regions of France oups ;)
In 1154 Henry the son of the count of Anjou (It's not in Normandy) conquered England with troops from Anjou.
cont. for you to be sent back in time into World War One, to fight right alongside the British at the Somme or Ypres, or Loos and go through the horrors yourself and watch them die around you fighting bravely for your safety and freedom, and then I'd like to see if you still call them 'Filthy cowardly Limey scum'.
Owing to the fact it created 2,750 deaths/ casualties Yes, I would call the Falklands War a war. It is clear that you are a nasty, racist little man who will refuse to listen to reason or argument in your campaign of hatred, that serves no other purpose than to make you feel smug. I study History at Oxford and I think I'll trust my tutors and the world's leading historians who lecture me daily instead of you. What I would like more than anything is
were phenomenally brave young men who volunteered and lived through hell for years and then got shredded by a machine gun, or gassed to death or cut down by a sword. Just stop for a moment and think if you were the scared little boy forced to fight for freedom if you would want future generations to use you as a cold statistic to call the people you fought and died alongside offensive racist insults for no other reason than to make themselves feel smug in their comfort.You are the only scum here
But what has really, really pissed me off is the way you have bantered about facts and statistics alongside battles and use them to argue who shouldn’t get the glory, and throwing around insults like ‘Fucking limey cowards scum’. How dare you. Take a moment to stop and think of them as more than just statistics to be used in your petty squabble, remember that these ‘fucking limey scum’ and ‘surrender monkeys’ whether they were British, French, Commonwealth, Belgian, German or whatever
To add to what HandJproductions said, France throughout the hundred years war did have allies to help them. France practically begged Scotland for aid at Poitiers (1356) and Verneuil (1424) because their armies had been crippled by their defeats at Crécy and Agincourt, the French needed the Castilian navy to help them patrol the English channel and Philip VI tried to get the Holy Roman Empire to join them when the war started (the HRE decided to join England instead).
The reason the British did not take part in Verdun was because the British launched the battle of the Somme specifically to alleviate pressure on the French at Verdun by opening up a second battleground, and lost 624,000 men in the process. Moreover the decisive battle of Amiens was masterminded by the British (Henry Rawlingson) and it was the British 4th Army that played the decisive role.
The British did nothing Verdun, Passchendaele etc: Whilst it is true that Verdun was an exclusively French battle, there are also examples where the British/ Commonwealth fought with no French support (Loos, Arras, Cambrai etc.) In Passchedaele both nations contributed as did many other countries. It was however a majoratively British Empire offensive.
Without allies the British surrender: A ridiculous, spiteful lie.
Falklands War, WW2, Hundred Years War, War of 1812. All wars where the British/ English fought alone, either for a period of the war or its entirety. Indeed look at Agincourt, which this video is based on. The English were alone, outnumbered 6 to 1 by the French and still fought and won a decisive victory.
WW2 LOL Dunkirk how well did you do there, you ran back home with your tails between your legs and waited for us Canadians and Americans to save you.
Battle of Singapore anyone? You were alone then lol
Agincourt.Henry V was of French blood so were all his noblemen such as Édouard de Norwich who's family tree was French & Castilian and Thomas de Camoys who was fully French in his ancestry
Yes, there was a war between the UK and Argentina in the South Atlantic in 1982. The British won decisively. Well done, you're learning history!
Actually in Dunkirk, it was multiple nationalities that evacuated including Canadians.
And the British did not wait for the Americans. We fought, and many died, in the Battles of Britain and the Atlantic and various secret missions behind enemy lines whilst the yanks sat back and did nothing.
On Singapore- You only have one example and you keep running back to it. This is a sign you've lost. Accept it.
Owing to the fact Wales was, and is, part of the Kingdom of England, yes, I'd call the Welsh forces at Agincourt part of the English force. The were commanded by the English as well.
Henry V &co. were of Norman decendency but were English. 400 years had passed since the conquest. Most lived and died in England like their parents. You keep getting this wrong.
Henry V had not just blood from Normandy but Anjou and other parts of France as did his nobility but in your hatred for France you'd rather skip that fact.
These men might have lived in England but ethnically they were French. And you believe in ethnics since you call the French cowards as in it's in their genes.
Just does not match with real history now does it. History shows that the native English were ruled by Frenchmen ;)
That has to be the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard. You admit they were born, lived, and died in England, owing to the fact you did not rebutt it you clearly also concede that their ancestors had lived in England for a few centuries, and yet you still claim that they are French because of 'ethnics'?
Of course they were French by ethnicity. I wonder why you don't want go and check out their family trees. To afraid to see the lack of English blood perhaps and to see that these heroes of yours are in fact French in their origins. With that French blood you hate so much ;) These men wed women from France and the French "English" women of good birth wed men from France.
Your like a Nazi who hates the Jews but who's history has been made by them lol.
And when in this entire conversation did I ever say anything even close to 'the French cowards as in it's in their genes'? I was the one who said to you should remember no matter what nationality these people came from they died fighting alongside each other bravely for what they believed in and it was a disgrace to use their memory as a tool for your horrendous racist insults.Now you are doing nothing more than making things up and it is deeply deeply offensive you nasty little man
@hyurgy125 you say countries hate us everyone hates the French because they are RUDE and make ridiculous claims like apparently to you we didn't win the Napoleonic war i mean hos stupid are you every one in this argument is arguing against you. my hole household is laughing from reading clearly your made up history read some books for god sake. we have won more wars vs the french ffs look it up
@mhmatt1 if we British are such cowards why do we beet you and why did we have he biggest empire and why did we save your retarded French asses in ww1 and ww2 next time we wont help and we will watch your get ass raped by Germany you Nazi consolidating scum. we won the seven year war beating the French and the Spanish and all your little native allies alone we Raped you in Cresy and Agincourt with a sick and wounded army face it no one knows of French wars they have won.
Everyone hates the English limey filth. The stupid English soccer team mob who goes to other countries to make problems. The fucking English limey filth who hates living in England so they move to France and Spain and yet don't try to learn a word in the native languages expecting everyone to speak English to them lol.
Your household is like the English mob, filth. I mean damn your history was made by the French and now you English are not even an independent nation lol
1066 Oh no let's surrender the whole country to the Frenchmen.
1154 let us welcome these new troops of Frenchmen taking over the crown and cheers to our new French king Henry II from Anjou (Anjou is not Normandy NB).
1688 oh no a foreign mercenary army led by the Dutch William of Orange is here, he was only supposed to be a consort but took the crown, let him!
1942 Oh no let's surrender to 34 000 Japs on bicycles wile we number 130 000 lol.
@hyurgy125 Also you say about the commanders look at the battles one and you idiot most of the bloody battles were won by the British. Everyone agrees except you that the British virtually won the peninsular war alone you mug are you sure your Canadian because you are so dumb you sound like your from another planet full off retarded ass holes.
@hyurgy125 Resulting to personal insult because you are losing hope wow that's bad. If I could i would send you back in time and make you go to the trenches and watch you Run like a little pussy whilst the British shoot you for desertion.
The British ran away like cowards whilst the French fought bravely at Dunkirk: Yes, British (and French) forces retreated at Dunkirk, whilst other French (and British) forces stayed behind and fought but then again France surrendered to the Nazis and agreed to become a puppet state. The UK by contrast was the only country to fight against the Nazis for the whole of WW2. For the beginning period of the war, we were alone.
There are no English castles in France: Wrong. There are English castles and equivalents throughout the British Isles and in France, and Gibraltar and Italy. I could go on.
By contrast the kings of England right up until the 16th century ruled huge swathes of France. This is all of course, looking at a world with our nation-state view of England- France etc. Which didn't really exist until the late 18th/ 19th century anyway.
France ruled England for 400 years: utterly untrue. The Norman duke, William the conqueror annexed England and his decedents ruled his kingdom, this is true but the duke of Normandy was very separate from the king of France and after the first century the ruling elite had morphed from Norman to English in all real terms. Thr three lions are Norman, not French. The King of France never ruled English territory. By contrast the kings of England right up until the 16th century ruled huge swathes of
The Three Lions are not Norman but originate in Anjou. Richard the Lionheart took them up after his grandfather Geoffrey Plantagenet from Anjou
Almost a century after 1066 (Half of the Norman army were men from other regions of France) or in 1154 Henry II of Anjou the son of Geoffrey Plantagenet came to England with a French army and was made King
He wed Eleanor of Aquitaine, France their descendants included Richard the Lionheart
- Edward I spread anti-French propoganda to raise English nationalism
- The French nobility wanted to call Edward III 'Louis' but Isabella, Edward II and the English nobility denied the name Louis because they wanted an English name.
- French historian Froissart constantly refers to the English soldiers (aswell as the Kings of England) as English.
The question shouldn't be 'What is English about the Plantagenets?' the real question should be 'What is French about them?'.
Their alligences with England as in none of them living in England until John Lackland in the beginning of the thirteenth century. Richard the Lionheart the great "English" spent 6 months of his life in England, did not speak English and disliked English weather. Englishness what?
King John Lackland brother of Richard wed Isabella of Angoulême, who was also French, their son was Henry III.He wed Eleanor of Provence also French.
@hyurgy125 I said the Plantagenet kings after John were alot more English. Also you say Henry III was French by blood because his mother was French that means you also have to accept that the Plantagenets had Saxon blood in them aswell, which strengthens my claim that they were English.
The son of Richard III was named Edward Longshanks, Edward is an English name yes but that's the only English thing about him. his mother being Eleanor of Province.
So what the fuck was English about Edward Longshanks beside that his great great great grandmother was half English? You're really trying to stretch it son lol.
Did he was some English bitch? No he wed Eleanor of Castile who was half Castillian and half French.
@hyurgy125 Did you miss the part of my post where he spread anti-French propoganda to raise English nationalism? If he's so French you would have thought that he wouldn't trash talk his own country of origin to try and get people to be more proud of being English (his anti-French rant caused alot of the nobility of England to speak English).
Bitch did you miss the part that from 1254 to 1257, Edward I was under the influence of his mother's relatives, known as the Savoyards. Specially one man Pierre II de Savoie.
And after 1257, Edward increasingly fell in with the Poitevin or Lusignan faction led by such men as William de Valence and that this association was significant, because these two groups of privileged foreigners were resented by the established Norman-Angevin aristocracy.
Actually, owing to the fact his father was English and he was born, died and lived in England I'd say he's English. Marrying someone of a different nationality doesn't change your nationality. If I marry a Spaniard I do not suddenly become Spanish as if by magic. Also, please read through your posts before you hit send. The constant spelling mistakes are just embarrassing for you.
This is getting petty, bitter and actually, very offensive to any decent person. Allow me to correct a few appalling inaccuracies, and balance the picture.
Wales has a parliament: No it doesn't, it has an assembly. They're very different.
Scotland has a parliament: true, but it's powers are limited compared to other parliaments. but don't forget that an awful lot of the funding for the Scottish government's spending comes from the English taxpayer. Something to keep in mind before you take th

@hyurgy125 Ooh I hit a nerve there hey matey? Your ace card exposed. You willing to accept Wellington as one of your own, so you can have Percival as well - true to form French surrender monkey. You are a exposed as a fucking fucking hypocrite.
hyurgy125 your are the most ignorant, impudent and stupidest person on YouTube you make so much history up we saved the French in ww1 and ww2 the French were getting ass raped by the Germans. we put in more men than the French in ww1 and they had a bigger population. the French had to have conscription at the start because the French were to scared to join the war we enlisted until 1916 and had a huge rate of enlistment we beet the French in more wars and we are higher ranking in power.SHUT IT
@hyurgy125 in amines the French barely advanced it was the British and commonwealth that advanced huge areas of land pushing Germany back and the British had the highest percent in Waterloo because the others were like 6% and the commander Wellington won the battle. in fact in amines the British took the hardest position to take by taking the hight thick muddy gowned and the heaviest defended. and the peninsular war we thought more battles than spain and Portugal we saved them so shut up.
@mhmatt1 The problem is that the comonwealth is different today, it has become infested with parasites like hyurgy who like to undermine and distort the relationship we have with our former colonies. At the time of ww1 these Aussies and New Zealanders and Canadians stood shoulder to shoulder with the mother country because they were one and the same.
One of the biggest reason we Canadians, Irish, Scots etc hate the English is because the fucking limeys are myth makers.
You take all the credits specially for wars you did jack shit in. Google "Peninsula Wars" and go over the list of commanders and tell me if the vast majority of them were fucking Brits lol
Without allies you fucking surrender, even if you have all the advantage like in the battle of Singapore in 1942, surrendering to a small force of Japs on bicycles lol
@hyurgy125 "Without allies you fucking surrender, even if you have all the advantage like in the battle of Singapore in 1942, surrendering to a small force of Japs on bicycles lol" And who surrendered to these Japs on bikes? Yes you guessed it Lt Gen Arthur PERCIVAL a fucking french/ norman throwback. lol. Another French surrender monkey.
@hyurgy125 "One of the biggest reason we Canadians, Irish, Scots etc hate the English is because the fucking limeys are myth makers." You stupid arrogant cunt. Who do you think you are speaking for millions of people in those countries.
um last i checked France are screwed and heading in to reset ion France and the eu tried to make us pay them millions because they are screwed but we said no and France is now gun nu plummet and good rid dons to the bastards. the euro is screwed but Britain uses pounds so bye bye France hahaha we win if you don't believe me watch the dam news also look at the military powers list we are above France at 5th in the world France are 8th haha
Britain is going into a major crisis and is weaker than France economically that's just a fact
Best thing is, The French have their own country unlike the English. England is not even a sovereign country so what you bitching about being English bitch lol
The best would be to have some kind of a final solution program for the English. The Scots hate them as well as the Welsh and the Irish etc.
I mean look at you, Ringo and Rowan Atkinson, that's the English for ya lol.
@hyurgy125 ENGLAND IS NOT WEEK FRANCE IS WEEK THE EURO IS DIEING THEY ASK BRITAIN TO BAIL THEM OUT INCLUDING FRANCE SO IF WE ARE SO WEEK THEN WHY ARE THEY ASKING US TO BAIL THEM OUT YOU TWAT.
@hyurgy125 "Formerly secret documents unearthed from the National Archives have shown Britain and France considered a "union" in the 1950s.
On 10 September 1956 French Prime Minister Guy Mollet arrived in London for talks with his British counterpart, Anthony Eden. " Oh dear. France getting fucked over by her colonies wanted Britain to rescue her again. Oh deary me. So, when Eden refused a union between France and Britain the French prime minister came up with another proposal. .....
@L36Bruno ......For France to join THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH!!! Hahaha. Just like Troyes in 1415, the French prepare to surrender their sovereignty. Makes you proud to be French.
The battles of the Hundred years War was fought between Frenchmen ruling England and Frenchmen ruling in France and their French enemies who took sides with the Angevins who ruled England.
What should make you proud in being English is that you surrendered the whole of England in 1066 to a small region of France in just one day
Again in 1688 you surrendered the whole country to a Dutchman later known as William III and his foreign mercenaries
@hyurgy125 You talking about Normandy? Well if Normandy was France, then the Channel Islands would be French wouldn't they? Being part of Normandy. But they're not are they? Never have been and France has never claimed them.
The Channel Islands sure ain't British now are they lol.
You got OWNED by the Danes, then by the Normans in 1066, then by the men of Anjou (Henry II) in 1154, bringing more French blood. And if that was not enough of surrendering the whole country to foreign invaders you even give it to a Dutchman who was only supposed to be a consort but who instead took all power thx to his numerous foreign mercenaries who occupied London etc without the English doing jack shit AGAIN lol
They are a reminder of when the Normans conquered you. In fact people in Normandy as well as the Norman NATIVE channel islanders call the English "Serfs" in reference to what the English were to their Norman forefathers
And nothing has changed. The English mob serves it's masters still.
You people don't have any history without the French lol
Why don't you use English symbols instead of French ones like the three lions?
@hyurgy125 What like "ich dien?" How french is that? Or the many latin ones? Haha if mottoes are anything to go by England still owns America as it does Canada (god save the queen and all that) only the yanks had the balls to fight us and have a revolution. Unlike Canada which remained British. Haha, and all them Quebecers too - HRH head of state. I see where mr Mollett got his ideas from.
it was the French who defeated you at Yorktown etc in the American war of Independence, but I understand why you don't mention it.
It says all about the English that all 2 000 000 of them at the time were ruled by 7000 Frenchmen.
Seriously what other nation in Europe had it's elite completely replaced and it's population completely enslaved to a small new foreign ruling class like the English?
No wonder the English don't have their own parliament unlike the Scots & Welsh
@hyurgy125 omg you spas the all you can say is the revolutionary war no one care it wasn't even your war we were outnumbered in that war. and still won almost every land battle in that war it was the american militia that beet us by cutting of supplies. in the seven year war we beet you out of Canada. Great Britain took on France and Spain and beet them making them sign a peace treaty. look it up the treaty of Paris we beet your asses.
@mhmatt1 During the war, Britain had conquered the French colonies of Canada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Tobago, the French "factories" (trading posts) in India, the slave-trading station at Gorée, the Senegal River and its settlements, and the Spanish colonies of Manila in the Philippines and Havana in Cuba. land captured by the British off France and Spain hahaha get our asses kicked or what
Come again son? You were outnumbered ? Like in the Battle of Carillon in Canada when 18 000 Brits lost to 3000 Frenchmen.
More than half of the American army at Yorktown were French lol.
You British pussies were much more numerous than the French troops in the 7 yrs war as the French had to fight on the European continent unlike you filthy sub humans. And when you fought on the continent it was trough the war efforts of others as you were only in a minority of each army.
@hyurgy125 hahaha your good because they had more casualties they somehow thought braver that's just stupidity non tactically killing your own men you stupid FROG CANADIAN they had less men we had 8,841,541 and the French had 8,660,000 and they lost more wow the French had great commanders (sarcasm). plus you conscripted we saved your asses and you still insult us perhaps next time if their is we will let you be crushed. the British won the most decisive victories in that war so screw you.
Lol the British army numbered only 4 millions and you were a much more numerous country.
You have been exposed as a liar lol
Were the hell were the Brits at the Battle of Verdun? It was the longest and one of the most devastating battles in the First World War and the history of warfare.
The French won but were the hell were the Brits?
The famous battle of the Marne. The French fought with 39 divisions wile the Brits just spared 6 graciously being the filth they are.
@hyurgy125 um i looked it up we were 8,841,541 in ww1 so stfu and we saved your asses in verdun with a counter offensive in the somme so you can shut your pie hole
@hyurgy125 at the battle of amiens the British and commonwealth advanced the most land ever since the war begun so suck on that and i got the info on numbers from 2 websites which both say we numbered at 8,841,541 and the French numbered at 8,660,000 so don't call me a liar you ling traitor to Canada and your previous owners
The Battle of Amiens is again one of the perfect example of how the Brits let other people do the warring. In the Peninsula wars you let the Spaniards and Portuguese do all the fighting not forgetting Waterloo were you numbered 17% of the coalition army lol.
Battle of Amiens 12 French divisions. 3 British divisions (Limey cowards) 4 Canadian divisions (Yet our country's population was way smaller than of the Limeys) not forgetting the Australians having 5 divisions.
@hyurgy125 yes and lets not forget who defeated the so called French elite old guard in Waterloo causing the French to run the British foot guard mainly made up of Englishmen.
The French fought the most important battles in WW 1 and had a way bigger army than the Brits even if the Brits had a much larger population.
WW2 you FLED like the coward you are at Dunkirk lol wile the French held of 7 German divisions in Lille. The British army would have been finished without the French First Army fighting the Germans off as said by Churchill.
Without us Canadians and Americans you're jack shit like proven by Dunkirk & the battle of Singapore lol.
@hyurgy125 Just think Hyurgy, you and your French sisters all happily together as nations of the British Commonwealth. Under the protective wing of Britannia! Pity Eden fucked it off...Would have been interesting.
Lol the acts of one mad man who acted on his own can't be compared to how you surrender England to foreign troups all the time. Your ruling nobility has nothing English in'em
To bad England is not a sovereign (One of the many French words in English) nation (another French word) unlike France.
England does not even have it's own English parliament (another French word).
well the English have never protected their country and have no history without their French masters
@hyurgy125 Surrender to foreign troops all the time? OK so by your logic, last time England was invaded was 1688. Since then France has been invaded in 1815 by Britain, Spain and Portugal. 1870 by Prussia. 1914 by Germany, and 1940 by Germany,
Know your history son France was never conquered in 1914. Damn you English cunts even try to invent things up.
Must be because all around you there is nothing English. French castles, French churches, even in the language you speak you can't utter words without using French words coming from the French rulers.
You wear the three lions symbol with pride not knowing it's a FRENCH symbol. A symbol of French rule over the native filth.
@hyurgy125 INVADED I said INVADED. Would have been CONQUERED but we saved your sorry asses as usual.
French castles? Norman castles methinks. Thats something alien to England - castles. Yes a Norman /French innovation because the French like to hide inside them while the English are laying waste the countryside.
Its impossible to take anything Hyurgy says seriously, on another Hundred years war video he claimed that 'Edward, the Black Prince' had a French name, even though Edward is an Anglo-Saxon name. Hyurgy claims that because Henry is a French name that makes him a French hero, well there were 5 Plantagenet kings/nobles with the name's Edward and Edmund i guess that means they are English because the have Saxon names.
The Kingdom of England didn't exsist until the Normans invaded. To be English is to have French blood. I'm decended from Scots and Irish, Welsh and French, but I am still an Australian. Trying to put people down for being proud of their country, a country who dominated the world for over a century, speaks more on your faults than theirs.
the hole dam royal family is mixed up anyway half our royal family is German the tsar was in Victoria family so was the kaiser the royal family are from everywhere lol. french surrender ww2 French surrender Napoleonic wars French surrender everywhere in fact the battle of the Somme was to help the French troops in verdung who were losing. the British empire expanded to a third of the world Canada your home country was taken from the French by the British. and was made to fight for us.
I have come to the realisation that im talking to some fat bloke siting behind a computer who has nothing better to do tgan slag of thing greater than him to expand his tiny ego. You sir are a pathetic exuse for a humanbeing and you seem to dig deep to find evidence for invalid points that make no sence. You are notcworth mine or any other reasonable humanbeings time. Luckly i know a few canadians and americans that are nothing like you and actualy have an idea of what respect is. Bye
Enjoy the video on my page son. Note how proudly the Brits display their white flag after surrendering to a much smaller Japanese force after the "battle" of Singapore.
This time the Brits did not have the French holding back enemy divisions for them. This time the Brits had no Island to flee back to. This time the Brits didn't have the Americans and Canadians saving their asses like usually.
@hyurgy125 Ive got a video on my channel of the German victory parade in Champs Elysees after the Battle of Paris in WW2.....Hold on there was no battle for Paris in WW2, it was surrendered without a fight. Unlike Stalingrad, Berlin, London, Lenningrad.....Arc De Triomphe built by a foriegn dictator and ruler of France to honour himself. And what was it Churchill said? The man you like to quote? “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
@hyurgy125 just to prove the British had won more victories over the French the British won almost 60 battles against the French in the peninsular war alone. including the battle of talavara, revolca,vimearo etc
Concidering the fact that they were fighting in their own country, some french comanders showed unacceptible cowardice compared to brits who held their groud (yes there were also cases of bravery from french but you would expect it) and did you miss my point about paris??) And another reason for the BEF's retreat was that it formed a large part of the army posted in england (and the canadians participated less than the brits and the brits were there from normady to the end
ok then... the british formed a large part of the rear guard and a large part of the force retreating were french so i have no idea what the hell your on about and the french army were tacticaly incompitent hencetheir loses, and what did you expect the BEF to do? Due to the stupidity of the french, the allies were outnumbered and the insome cases french units refused to help the rear guard (and yes some did stand but the british ALSO acomplished simmilar feats)
Ah so your french... in ww2 the french were actualy better armed and equiped than the germans, but due to tactical incompitence they were out done by the germans, the brits help the line while the frenchwere routed and because of this the BEF had to also fall back also wen the germans attached paris the french were to worried about ruining their city that they didnt fightback and who providid the rear guard that fought almost to the last while the french and bef were evacuated??
I'm Canadian. Is that why in WW2 the French held back 7 German divisions in Lille so the Brits, who had been crushed by the Germans, could flee back home from Dunkirk.
"The French held 7 german divisions in Lille during 3 days and thus saved at least 100,000 more troops in Dunkerk. England wouldn't have been able to carry on the war without this splendid contribution of the French 1st Army".
The cowardly Brits being the cowards that they are fled from Dunkirk after being crushed by the Germans, they managed to escape because of the First French Army holding the German divisions away, and therefor from eliminating the British army completely.
Without allies the Brits surrender, that's just how they are.
A good example of this is the Battle of Singapore were 100 000 British soldiers surrendered without a fight to only 30 000 Japs.
The english are the people who inhabit england, what william the coquerer took the throne of england he indoctrinated the normans into the enlish people making them and their decendents english
hyurgy125 my conclusion is that you are being ignorant in your knowledge, impudent towards the British and disrespectful of the dead and of the people you are in a argument with. the footguard broke the old guard in Waterloo. in Trafalgar the British admiral lord nelson gain supremisy over the French and Spanish navy and was named the best navy in the world. we as a nation are great and have a rich history Canada has not. but we fought through many wars and won many in the face of defeat.
also please give it up look how many people disagree with you doesn't that tell you your wrong. ive had enough my breaking point was your personal insult to my great grandfather who fought in the first world war whilst yours probably went to France getting drunk on wine. go surrender to Germany with your French ansestores you coward of a Canadian i respect the Canadians but not you and the French Canadians.
Your cowardly great grandfather fled back to Britain waiting for the Americans and Canadians to do all the fighting like in WW2
In WW1 the French had a casualty rate of 77% in a army of 8 million men, a large part of the male population of France. Showing much greater courage in face of death than the cowardly Brits.You Brits let the other to do the fighting like at Waterloo. Alone you surrendered like in Singapore against a small force of Japs in 1942
listen your Canadian we owned you we actually beet the French of your land and you say we cant beet the French? what Queen of England is on your currency? and no she isn't German she is English most of her German blood has been washed out. alsoif we cant beet the French how comes we had the biggest empire in the world which some was taken of the French. the English alone could beet the French let alone the British all together. face it everyone is against your made up history.
OK are you ready. Waterloo, seven year war the peninsular war the Napoleonic war. the British made the biggest contribution to the Crimean war. agincourt, cresy, talivara ,quibec BTW the hundred years war was a victory for the French but the English had the most gain. and drove a huge army through France and captured a heck of a lot of land. also im not British im English. the British and commonwealth also made huge contributions to the first world war. good day to you sir.
Ok are you ready Waterloo the Brits were only 17% of the combined army fighting the outnumbered and under armed Frenchmen.
7 Years wars you were also not fighting on the continent like your allies and the French, you used your man power to defend the colonies something the French could not having to fight on the continent.Having a much smaller force in America the French managed to humiliate the Brits.For example the battle of Carillon when 18000 Brits lost to 3000 Frenchmen
The Hundred Years war, are you ready. None of the rulers and knights in the "English army" were English. They were FRENCH. The French exterminated the English nobility in 1066 and replaced it with French nobility. Nobility,the French, does not mix with peasants, the native English.The Hundred Years war was also due to a civil war in France between Burgundians and other Frenchmen
You English are not even an independent nation & you don't even have an English parliament lol.
@hyurgy125 ok as i said the Norman blood was lost in the blood line because they were shit at integrating in about 200 years they had been verticality all been drowned out. in the 100 year war the soldiers were Anglo Saxons and Britain's. because that is the British and English population. their were Norman but you are over exaggerating the amount and the indidionos outnumbered them.
@mhmatt1 You self-lying Englishman lol. It was not just the Normans who came over from France.
Richard the Lionheart was alive a century and a half after Hastings. His father was the Frenchman Henry II from Anjou who came to England to be King in 1154. Richards mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine, France.
Edward Longshanks (Remember Braveheart) was French as well. Father, the French Angevin Henry III & mother, Eleanor of Provence, France.
@hyurgy125 Yes and remember your great ruler Napoleon? Well he was Italian. The Frenchman Henry ll was actually descended from the English house of Wessex through his mother. Edward Longshanks was so French that he wanted to be called Edward the 2nd after the English king Edward the confessor, Edward is an old English name, not French.
Empress Matilda's mother changed her name to Matilda to please the Normans and was the daughter of the king of Scotland and his English wife. That's all that is left of the native English royal blood lol
Empress Matilda then wed Geoffrey of Anjou, a Frenchman
Their son Henry II wed a French woman,Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Their son John Lackland and Isabelle d'Angoulême, a Frenchwoman had Henry III of England. He wed Eleanor of Provence.
@hyurgy125 Here is a question for you hyurgy. If the Normans were French, then why have the Channel Islands never been claimed by France?
Napoleon may have been Corsican, but he had Italian blood coarsing through his veins. Like our kings are still "French" 300 years after the Norman conquest, you cant have it both ways hyurgy.
"Daughter of the king of Scotland and his English wife"? The "English wife" was a princess from the house of Wessex.
@hyurgy125 You filthy, smelly....Frog Cunt!! The entire world LOLZ at France, and her NAZI COLLABORATION....World renowned as being the most COWARDLY CUNTS on planet Earth.
@hyurgy125 The Queen of England is your head of state lol. All the countries you listed have been owned by the English lol. There's a great video on youtube of Hitler making the French surrender and then posing near the Eiffel tower. Without Britain you Canadians would belong to the US. You ugly French/Irish/Canadian tosser. No wonder you hate us so much.
@hyurgy125 no not the French Normans! also as i keep saying the French blood was drowned out in like 200 years because they would not intergrate with the native English. the queen is from the British and German royal family the who are all linked anyway her actual original name is saxcoberg doesn't sound French sounds more like German. and seriously why do you think everyone hates the French because they are rude and arrogant race because they are jello's that we beet them and saved them twise
Lol GDP AKA gross domestic product is one the primary indicators used to gauge the health of a country's economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period, you can think of it as the size of the economy. Comprendo stupido?
Britain is behind France and now Brazil as well lol.
You are a filthy Brit, when England will be an independent country with it's own parliament then you can call yourself English, not before.
fuck this gives me goosebumps every fucking time.

On another matter, when William I took over England instead of changing the English infrastructure into a more Norman style, he completeley adopted it and tried to apply elements of it in Normandy, as it was, to all intents and purposes, the most efficient, stable and well run kingdom in Western Europe at the time. So the English system was seen as far better than the French one, where William had major problems governing Normandy. So the French didn't make England at all.

And actually, 40% of English vocabulary did not come from French. 28% did. 30% came from Latin, and 25% came from Dutch. languages evolve and cross-fertilise. get over it.

ah so its an understandable tactical move when the French surrender to the germans completely, but when the British AND FRENCH troops retreat to the UK to regroup and consolidate it's British cowardice. Hmmm double standards me thinks. Also see above, you seem to constantly forget that dunkirk was not a case of all the british leaving and all the french fighting. Many many French troops were evacuated in Dunkirk and many British stayed and fought. How do you respond to that?

Also, on the issue of Henry II, he was actually educated in England and lived there and in Normandy for much of his pre-royal life. And you are wrong.

They were given huge swathes of land on the condition that they did not attack again. King Charles gave up because he was scared of them.

Actually hyurgy125 Cameronomics is right, the Normans were the decendants of Viking raiders that settled down there, much to the chargrin of the French. So if we follow your increadibly flawed argument that it doesn't matter how many centuries you and your ancestors have lived in one country, you're still the enthnicity of the one you orginally hailed from, the English were never ruled by the French at all, they were ruled by the Scandanavians.

To add to what HandJproductions said, France throughout the hundred years war did have allies to help them. France practically begged Scotland for aid at Poitiers (1356) and Verneuil (1424) because their armies had been crippled by their defeats at Crécy and Agincourt, the French needed the Castilian navy to help them patrol the English channel and Philip VI tried to get the Holy Roman Empire to join them when the war started (the HRE decided to join England instead).

cont.
The reason the British did not take part in Verdun was because the British launched the battle of the Somme specifically to alleviate pressure on the French at Verdun by opening up a second battleground, and lost 624,000 men in the process. Moreover the decisive battle of Amiens was masterminded by the British (Henry Rawlingson) and it was the British 4th Army that played the decisive role.

The British did nothing Verdun, Passchendaele etc: Whilst it is true that Verdun was an exclusively French battle, there are also examples where the British/ Commonwealth fought with no French support (Loos, Arras, Cambrai etc.) In Passchedaele both nations contributed as did many other countries.

The British ran away like cowards whilst the French fought bravely at Dunkirk: Yes, British (and French) forces retreated at Dunkirk, whilst other French (and British) forces stayed behind and fought but then again France surrendered to the Nazis and agreed to become a puppet state. The UK by contrast was the only country to fight against the Nazis for the whole of WW2. For the beginning period of the war, we were alone.

By contrast the kings of England right up until the 16th century ruled huge swathes of France. This is all of course, looking at a world with our nation-state view of England- France etc. Which didn't really exist until the late 18th/ 19th century anyway.

France ruled England for 400 years: utterly untrue. The Norman duke, William the conqueror annexed England and his decedents ruled his kingdom, this is true but the duke of Normandy was very separate from the king of France and after the first century the ruling elite had morphed from Norman to English in all real terms.

The Three Lions are not Norman but originate in Anjou. Richard the Lionheart took them up after his grandfather Geoffrey Plantagenet from Anjou
Almost a century after 1066 (Half of the Norman army were men from other regions of France) or in 1154 Henry II of Anjou the son of Geoffrey Plantagenet came to England with a French army and was made King
He wed Eleanor of Aquitaine, France their descendants included Richard the Lionheart

- Edward I spread anti-French propoganda to raise English nationalism
- The French nobility wanted to call Edward III 'Louis' but Isabella, Edward II and the English nobility denied the name Louis because they wanted an English name.
- French historian Froissart constantly refers to the English soldiers (aswell as the Kings of England) as English.
The question shouldn't be 'What is English about the Plantagenets?' the real question should be 'What is French about them?'.

This is going to be quite a long post so bear with me, but i want to de-bunk afew myths about the Plantagenet nobility being French after King John.
- The Plantagenets had Saxon blood (this was because Henry II mother was the Granddaughter of a Saxon princess)
- Their alligences lay with England
- They lived in England
- They could speak English (yes, Edward I,II,III could all speak English aswell as French)
- They adopted Saxon names (like Edward + Edmund)

Their alligences with England as in none of them living in England until John Lackland in the beginning of the thirteenth century. Richard the Lionheart the great "English" spent 6 months of his life in England, did not speak English and disliked English weather. Englishness what?
King John Lackland brother of Richard wed Isabella of Angoulême, who was also French, their son was Henry III.He wed Eleanor of Provence also French.
English WHAT? FRENCH more like it

@hyurgy125 I said the Plantagenet kings after John were alot more English. Also you say Henry III was French by blood because his mother was French that means you also have to accept that the Plantagenets had Saxon blood in them aswell, which strengthens my claim that they were English.

Bitch did you miss the part that from 1254 to 1257, Edward I was under the influence of his mother's relatives, known as the Savoyards. Specially one man Pierre II de Savoie.
And after 1257, Edward increasingly fell in with the Poitevin or Lusignan faction led by such men as William de Valence and that this association was significant, because these two groups of privileged foreigners were resented by the established Norman-Angevin aristocracy.
Did you miss that?

You English are not even an independent nation & you don't even have an English parliament lol.

@hyurgy125 ok as i said the Norman blood was lost in the blood line because they were shit at integrating in about 200 years they had been verticality all been drowned out. in the 100 year war the soldiers were Anglo Saxons and Britain's. because that is the British and English population. their were Norman but you are over exaggerating the amount and the indidionos outnumbered them.

@mhmatt1 You self-lying Englishman lol. It was not just the Normans who came over from France.
Richard the Lionheart was alive a century and a half after Hastings. His father was the Frenchman Henry II from Anjou who came to England to be King in 1154. Richards mother was Eleanor of Aquitaine, France.
Edward Longshanks (Remember Braveheart) was French as well. Father, the French Angevin Henry III & mother, Eleanor of Provence, France.
And so it went on.
The English were their serfs

@hyurgy125 Yes and remember your great ruler Napoleon? Well he was Italian. The Frenchman Henry ll was actually descended from the English house of Wessex through his mother. Edward Longshanks was so French that he wanted to be called Edward the 2nd after the English king Edward the confessor, Edward is an old English name, not French.

Napoleon was Corsican
Empress Matilda's mother changed her name to Matilda to please the Normans and was the daughter of the king of Scotland and his English wife. That's all that is left of the native English royal blood lol
Empress Matilda then wed Geoffrey of Anjou, a Frenchman
Their son Henry II wed a French woman,Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Their son John Lackland and Isabelle d'Angoulême, a Frenchwoman had Henry III of England. He wed Eleanor of Provence.
English what?

@hyurgy125 Here is a question for you hyurgy. If the Normans were French, then why have the Channel Islands never been claimed by France?
Napoleon may have been Corsican, but he had Italian blood coarsing through his veins. Like our kings are still "French" 300 years after the Norman conquest, you cant have it both ways hyurgy.
"Daughter of the king of Scotland and his English wife"? The "English wife" was a princess from the house of Wessex.

"Your attempts to claim that every English born member of the nobility with a French surname, was a Frenchman is highly amusing"
The great "English" king Richard the Lionheart: Father Henry II of Anjou, mother Eleanor of Aquitaine.
Edward Longshanks the hammer of the Scots: Father the Angevin (French) Henry III. Mother Eleanor of Provence.
They all spoke French of course.
A French Lion born in England does not become an English pig.
English what? Lol

There's a great video on youtube of Hitler making the French surrender and then posing near the Eiffel tower. Without Britain you Canadians would belong to the US. You ugly French/Irish/Canadian tosser. No wonder you hate us so much.

Lol GDP AKA gross domestic product is one the primary indicators used to gauge the health of a country's economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period, you can think of it as the size of the economy. Comprendo stupido?
Britain is behind France and now Brazil as well lol.
You are a filthy Brit, when England will be an independent country with it's own parliament then you can call yourself English, not before.
