I thought the same! Talbots experience from the past and the quick victory over French archers in the initial skirmish probably lead him to believe that he could rout the numberically superior main French army with an all-out assault. If it had worked, Talbot would have easily crushed the other French armies one by one. Unfortunately for him, the French were familiar with his tactics and used time wisely to dig in and prepare. Talbot did not have many other options. If he would have retreat and wait reinforcements, he would have lost the element of suprise. The French would constantly follow him and attack him with their superior forces.

Talbot was known for being aggressive by nature and it had one him victories in the past. He was probably hoping the shock of the attack could overwhelm the French as it had in the past. But of course this was a much better French Army and it had prepared a near impregnable position.

People talk about Agincourt as a significant battle due to the English longbow, but the bow was essentially thousands of years old and in its final century. While Castillon was a smaller battle, both the political outcome and its impact on modern warfare were much greater. The Age of Artillery had really begun. Almost 500 years later, WW1 looked more like Castillon than Agincourt.

The main reason Castillon is not well known by the general public, is because : 1 - it's a british defeat, so the anglo-saxon world don't talk about it. 2 - nearly at the same time, Constantinople fell in the hands of the Ottomans.

Why would Castillon be a "smaller" battle ? Because Anglo-Saxons lost ?
The French began the 100 years war technically with a "war of delay" against the English. At the end of this long conflict, the French had technically a "war in advance". The English clung to their old tactic of longbow archers which had given them such resounding success, without realizing that the french artillery had become the queen of the battlefields. Great variety of guns with efficient mobility, improved quality of barrels and gunpowder, widespread use of steel cannonsballs, improved aiming systems ... All of that, the English had partially or totally neglected. An army is never so weak as when it thinks itself superior by nature. On the other hand an army is never so strong that, after severe setbacks, it completely challenges itself and reforms technically and tactically.

@@alexlyster3459 Completely agree with you concerning the insane feeling of the French chivalry during battles of Crecy, Azincourt, Poitiers, Verneuil. But whoever wins the decisives battles last wins the conflict. However it's clear that it was the French, after a complete overhaul of their army by Charles VII, who swept away the English army without any possibility to regain the advantage. Once peace was signed with the Burgundians, their fate in France was definitively settled. The English army, just as imbued with its superiority as the French cavalry had been at the beginning of the 100 years war, which had not modernized, was methodically crushed: Patay, complete annihilation of almost the entire corps of archers; Formigny, total annihilation of the English Kyriell army and definitive recovery of Normandy; Castillon, end of the last hope for the English to keep a foothold in France, except Calais.

I wouldn't say they were perfectly pronounced, but as a French, I really appreciate the effort put into it. And to be honest, I'm quite amazed how close this is to the actual pronounciation. It's not that far off even though most of these are quite hard to say for a non-native (lots of typical French sounds, like "on", "an/en", "u", "r', ...). Most importantly, any French can easily understand every French word. As a matter of fact, I kinda prefer the way it was pronounced, with a slightly perceivable English accent: I'd find it really weird if if I were to hear perfect French among perfect English. It fits in better, if I may say. So all in all, Great job from the narrator indeed.
When a military leader is up against a superior force, they have no choice but to try something audacious, unexpected, and a little crazy. Such moves are necessarily risky. When they work, the leader is called a military genius; when they fail, the leader is a fool. This is why I think claims of “military genius” that rest on such outcomes are overstated.

This must have been the best day of Bureau's life. A perfectionist, given a perfect position, and ample time to prepare, had an opponent that was willing to attack him in the most opportune manner imaginable. His screams of joy must have been audible over even the heaviest of fighting. I have seen ego and arrogance have devastating effect on so very many military leaders throughout history. I have no idea how a man could be so cavalier and reckless when other men's lives are in their hands, even under the most opportune of situations.
What an insanely bad decision on Talbot's part. I get he had to take some risks to win the day and even following up on the gascon scout's info to attack was a good move however when you see the french had not left he should have withdrawn.

Why would a well entrenched army, with major defences and two other armies nearby, suddenly decide to retreat? Talbot was an experienced...in many losses. One can see why he was captured....and why the French kept letting him be ransomed.

It is easy to nit pick after the fact but in this case it really is baffling why he would think attacking such a well entrenched force with only 1/3 of his forces was necessary. Even after noticing the enemy wasn't retreating but in fact well aware and ready. After his suborinate asked him to wait he still attacked. Not sure what he was expecting, a miracle? i will never know why such decisions are so common in history some due to stupidity others pride but this seems like shear desperation.

It's amazing how often military history teaches simple lessons like "beware assaulting a fortified position."

It seems to me that one of the main assets of J.Bureau was to have Talbot in front of him. I don't know his biography very well. However why did Henry VI choose him for that attempt of reconquest when he was the main responsible for the disaster of Patay then besieged and again a prisoner after recovery of Rouen ? Apparently a worn warrior having lost clear-sightedness.
Thanks. Is really very good video
12:15 Well built, and designed fortifications built on superior ground is definitely my kink.
Game over
I love this channel. I hope to see a video or series about Joan d'Arc.

The only thing that could have thwarted the meticulous preparation of Bureau could have been his belief that Talbot could not be so stupid to charge him head on with an inferior force and with an impassable river at his back...

Yes but I guess they paid to free him
Sadge for Thomas Everingham and his men. Despite saying multiple times that this attack makes no sense, he followed the orders and even managed to capture a certain part of the fortification for some time, until he was outnumbered and killed, so much potential wasted.
That artillery park is a sight I wish to see. It would be majestic.
great video
This AI is so unrealistic. Nobody would ever mount such a stupid attack...
Can you imagine the countless dead, brought on by stupid decisions in war.
