England's Second Barons' War: The Battle of Lewes, 1264 AD (Part 1)
In the 13th century, England was marred by internal strife known as the Second Barons' War (1264-1267). This civil conflict pitched the barons, led by Simon de Montfort, against King Henry III and his royalist forces. The war stemmed from deep-seated dissatisfaction among the barons, who sought a redefined balance of power. This historical struggle, marked by political complexities and shifting allegiances, underscores a crucial period in English governance. The events that transpired during this time laid the foundation for significant political changes, shaping the course of the nation's history.

As someone from Lewes who now lives overseas, it's so great seeing my home pop up on my fave KZread channels 😍
"I fear thunder and lightning beyond all measure..." My dog: You have my attention
I like how HoH used Medieval Totalwar for the cinematic battles.
@House of History, when will you release the video about the Battle of Evesham?
So, Edward, I did at Lewes, old 25, the same as Alexander the Great at Chaironeia, old 17? I think Edward´s overall rule is more about meticulous planning (Iron Ring Castles in Wales) a shrewd battling (Scotland) than temperamental excesses.
Love your work man! This definitely was a very low Point for Henry III and his heir edward, please next time to the Plantagenets revenge on the Battle of Evesham!
More of these pls :>>>>
Plz a full doc about Hannibal Barca in details Thanks in advance
I like how you show the battle map in one half of the screen and the game images in the other half.
So how are the Austrians doing against the Prussian's 🤔😁 Another great video
Thank you for covering this.
Amazing work as always HOH!
Fantastic work as always! I've been looking forward to this.
This video was amazing! I love the graphics and the troop types! I'd recommend you to use the mod Medieval Kingdoms 1222 mod for TW Atilla instead of TW Medieval 2 tho, medieval 2 is kinda inaccurate nowadays. Keep up the good work

@@HoH 12:02 A mistake here. "Rout" is pronounced 'r-ow-t' rather than 'roo-t'. 'Route' is pronounced 'root', so it's a tricky one. I do give you credit for seemingly being the only non-native English speaker who actually tries to speak the language as a native; it's a standard expected of us if we're learning a foreign language, and we get discounted if we don't speak French, Spanish etc. as natives, yet no-one who speaks English bothers to sound authentic, instead opting for the thickest accent. Save for you. So respect. One mistake in nearly 15 minutes of talking; you're doing well. To other non-native speakers, put in the same effort!

That's what I wonder about with this game footage: How accurate are these depictions? Cause I mostly see very small groups of warriors fighting each other. Shouldn't these be huge groups of men fighting each other in formation?

It's not intentional for anticipation. It's just a really, really tough and long battle to research and animate.

This animation, feels like a grand strategy game. Beginning of the video, troops assembling, I thought it was. Paradox Interactive should reach out to you.

Luckily the traitor de Montfort didn't last long. He made a hash of his rule and the majority of the barons didn't support him, at the same time they weren't too thrilled about the French who Henry III gave plum positions/titles/bishoprics too either.

@@lysimaquetokmok6755 this is two centuries after the Norman invasion you understand. Most barons were either Norman descendant with a minority being descended from pre-Norman anglo Saxon barons. The French were definitely distinct and have always been. Even the the Normans were only partly French. Besides if you a baron in England you are an English baron regardless of your ancestry.

The winners always write the history books. All the Plantagenets were french including the kings of England . You know very little of my ancestors or you wouldn’t make sweeping statements like traitor . If it wasn’t for my family we wouldn’t have common law via the Magna Carta or parliament ( which is french and literally means we are meant to talk about it ). Simon was on the side of the people , that’s you , by the way . Yet you ,who knows very little about the subject of medieval politics , kingdoms or people , another one with expert knowledge consider him a traitor. The biggest traitors in history were and are the English fake royal family.

Simon was about 5 and 6 centuries ahead of his time, a true visionary. His ideas were revolutionary, but the nobility weren't ready for such a change.
its pronounced "loo is" locally. Not "loos".

Imagine a prince not being a spoiled ego driven brat, costing his father, the King whatever lol.
Simon, son of an eponymous butcher who slaughtered his way through southern France until his head encountered a boulder launched by a mangonel from the walls of Toulouse - supposedly operated by the "girls and ladies and women of Toulouse". A son who himself was a murderously antisemitic zealot who endeared himself to his supporters by cancelling all debts they had to Jewish moneylenders, seizing the records and if need be butchering their creditors.

Stop using AI generated images for your thumbnails (utterly lazy of you and contradicts your "House of History" name) as that man wearing the armour is completely wrong - the armour / costume he wears looks more a kin to the fiction of Lord of the Rings and the Narnia books - not real history from 1264 AD in Medieval Europe

There is no plate armour in the Lord of the Rings books but I do agree with you. The knights of that time would have worn a coat of plates at most, and much more likely simple mail with a surcoat. Certainly not whatever that is in the thumbnail.
