Two important lessons can be extracted from this video, that the best European mercenaries of that century were English and French veterans of the Hundred Years' War, and that the only ones who benefited from the conflict were the Milanese. I welcome the fact that you talk about more of the conflict of those times in both Italy and Spain, since there are several interesting battles that are not known, for example the intervention of the Black Prince in the Castilian Civil War, to give an example.

​@@juanzulu1318Read the Battle of Nájera of 1367 and the story about the First Castilian War from 1351 to 1369. This conflict is considered part of the Hundred Years' War, because it had active participation between the English and French crowns, to gain Castilian support and its military fleet; I recommend that you read it, because its consequences were reflected in several historical events later, both in the war in France and in the future.

@@TheStrategos392 Yes, that's right, besides that they ended up on bad terms with the king of Castile. The English supported the wrong candidate, Pedro de Castilla was very arrogant and did not pay the English aid as they deserved, which ended with the abandonment of support and the French taking the lead with the usurper Enrique de Trastamara, who won in the end. The consequences were so serious that it cost the Black Prince his life, in addition to being an economic disaster due to the expenses of the campaign and all despite the fact that the Battle of Najera was a resounding victory for the Spanish-English side; however, They did not manage to put an end to the rebellion, so it was Pyrrhic and ended with the Castilian fleet supporting the French fleet throughout the rest of the Hundred Years' War.

Overlooked by Anglos maybe.

For someone interested about John Hawkwood there is a 49 chapters manga about his employment in France and the campaign he joined that ultimately led to the battle of Crecy. The art is excellence, the strategies and military maneuvers were extremely well depicted and so you should check it out now. Unfortunately the manga wasn’t popular or else it would had received a longer runtime. Anyway it is almost like Vinland Saga in term of art but with Medieval France setting, Hawkwood and the Black Prince as the main duo, and the Royal French Army as main antagonists, so what more could one even hope for?

Very intriguing and compelling video. Was great to see a video covering one the key battles, that showed just how import and influential the free companies were in the history of Italian city state conflicts during this period. Plus great Job Paduan leadership in respect of how to throw away the fruits of victory and then get outplayed by the viper in Milan.

Imagine being one of those poor Padua town militia basically being used as a distraction and sent to your likely death. Then after the formation breaks apart, you somehow managed to run towards the nearest city gate, while being pursued, only to find the gate shut because the enemy can't be allowed in either. With nowhere to run or hide, you get run down and killed...

Now this was exciting to watch how the experience and boldness of a man resolved a stalemate situation. - Reading "mercenary" in the title I thought of Conrad of Montferrat (died 1192) whose life / history march was likewise astonishing. He was the very protector of Tyre against Saladin. A good survey is by Werner Goez (cf. th German Wiki article). Conrad would be really worth a video.

This was a combination of factors, on one hand you had the struggle between the HRE and the Pope, each city state would select who to support in base of their rivalries and on the other hand Italian unification always came with the question of who would be the legitimate ruler to unify Italy under his banner. This and the internal instability of the governments of each city wasn't the best recipe for Italian unification.

@samsonsoturian6013

To quote one American GI "There were only two directions: Up the hill, and down the hill." Italy may have large cities but it's broken up into hard-to-get-to localities. For this reason much of Italian history has been either coalitions of city states, or large failed stated ruled by shadow governments known as mafias.

I feel like a chapter of the story is missing at 9:45. Ubaldini is chasing Serego with a larger army, however during the defense of Padua and afterwards Paduans are outnumbered by the Veronese. So I'm wondering what happened to this army? I can understand they might not have made it to defend Padua on time, but where did the army go after? Did their contracts expire, was Padua unable to pay them?
