Well since I live in Illinois I guess I'll see you guys later I'm going to Germany!!!!!! Jk but really nice job man best on YouTube!! Medieval 2 is an awesome game and the editing you guys did is epicly amazing!!
As a matter of fact has totally lost his standing in Europe after the Agincourt. It was customary in feudal Europe that losing side aristocratic houses paid ransom for their fallen relatives. Henry alowed his archers to use the klubs and daggers to kill the the knights and to rob them. Majority of knights on the French side were foreigners e.g. Germans, Italians, Czechs, Austrians etc. I remember from my history lessons slightly different account of that event.
The 1415 map? German Empire was then Holy Roman Empire. The Austria-Hungary came to existence only in 1867. And the English archers were totally ineffective against the damascened steel of heavily armed knight.. The battle field was water logged and lot of knights fell off the horse, causing chaos. Henry against the then chivalry rules of the time, ordered the pleb to kill the helples knights lying face down in the mud. The knight had to be winched into saddle. Knight's armour weighed 150kg.
Hi Phoenix. I´m a history student from Germany and currently i am working on the battle of agincourt. You just have to change a few details, if you want to make your video perfect. At the beginnig youre using a map of about 1870-1900. Change it in to contemporary map during the 100 years war. At the opening of the battle,you should move the archer about 200-300 meters forward.
The battle lines were placed about 500 meters in front to each other, which was to far even for the english warbow. At last, it would be perfect if you show the impact of the wounded and dismounted horses into the battle line of the attacking French. This effect finally caused the lines to collapse and let them attack the english lines in disorder. Finally you shoul uns knights without shield and in full plated armor, instead of chain armor.
Something happened during the battle which was to change warfare forever. An English bowman was killed not by a sword or arrow or lance. Some French soldier`s on the edge of the wood were testing a weapon it was a crude form of a Musket. It was a musket ball that killed the English soldier.
@PhoenixMcAwesome Thought this might be a 720p copy of Olivier's HvR made during WWII (for obvious reasons) but it is an excellent history lesson, both visually & orally. Well done !
Very well done! I love the animations, it helps to visualize it all! However, I concur with others.... be careful to represent more of the history. As a general overview, this is good. There were three battles (lines of french advance), the first advancing fairly as you depicted. The second battle advanced when the first failed. By that time most archers were without arrows and fought as men at arms. Archers did not have much of anything for armor, part of what made them so mobile and versatile.
A friend was talking about this today and was miffed i dident know about it.I think its because we dont talk about winning battles in UK schools.And when we remember wars its only to remember the dead.It would be a bad thing very very bad for the uk to say we ever had battles where we killed ppl.Britain teaches that we helped everywhere we went and never did much apart from importing potatos and tobacco.Bloody goverments.lol
@mytime103 i dont know what your age is but i am very surprised by your comment...not knowing abouth Agincourt? king henry the fifth? made a play too by william shakespeare? nothing? that is intellectual dishonety in the pursuit of a kind of cultural emasculation on the part of those responsible for education..
@highlanderpr51 im 38.I new about the 100 year war ect. just slipped my mind.Also there are more important things happening now.Like they say when will i ever need to know that in the real world.2 finger salute to the french of Agincourt.
Well done - really appreciate what you have done.In reality most of the French probably died in the crush, much like the Hillsborough disaster. When the French fell they couldn't get up such was the weight of their armour, and the mud itself had a certain quality that made it like cement when wet. (It still has to this day in that field.)
The French had numbers in their favour.
The English had luck, the terrain, the longbow, desperation and sheer guts.
great work - but be careful of not distinguishing between making cinema and describing history. The music is great, but misleading and unnecessary to bring drama to the facts of the events. In this day and age, history needs to be learned without flourishes.
@tonytonytonyargh just to note that history channel and other educative tv channels musicalize all the time while bringing up martial and other varied themes...appropiate music helps tell a story.
Brialliant video... a few items, you depict the archers as armoured,not so: thay had no protection beside the basics, hence the forward stakes. Also the valley was a narrowing channel.thats' why the French numbers counted against them, All in all,Im, in admiration, well researched!,,,Alan.
@jfredrick126 I pity them too much. They had their asses handed to them so many times. Beaten by the English, beaten by the Germans, beaten by fucking Vietnamese...
@topperheartramada We mustn't forget that the French ACTUALLY beat the English in the hundred years war and the French had many victories in the Americas and Europe. France was great up to the end of the napoleonic wars then you get the French toad.
You neglect to include the British then murdering over 1,200 bound French prisoners of war after the battle. The British nobles wouldn't do it so Henry V had his longbowmen who had no such scruples kill the prisoners with their daggers rather than let them go to possibly fight again after the battle.
@johnsher2 Henry was afraid the french prisoners (who outnumbered the english men at arms) would attack from behind when the next assult came. That's why he killed them. But the assult never came...
@johnsher2 Don't forget that the French tortured, chopped off fingers, blinded and left to die over a thousand English and Welsh archers at Soissons, after pretending to give them safe passage ....
@TheRmp1807 I am sure that there were fears the French would rejoin the fight. But my point is not that others were killed at other places and other times, but that this is a large part of the history of the battle of Agincourt, the killing of over a thousand disarmed POWs, that is overlooked in the more dramatic animation. And in Shakespeare's Henry V as well, at least the great Olivier filmed version I have seen.
is the song at 7:58 is from star trek? if it is can anyone tell me the title?

@0083TheMan0083
shield had been useless at that time, because the armor was strong enough, so the knights could use double handed weapons, like axes or warhammers.
If you change these details, you´ll have a scientific animation of the battle of agincourt. Very well done !!!!
p.s. the french also had crossbowmen, who were placed behind the lines of men at arms, so they had no effect in the battle.
