King John of Bohemia was once challenged to a duel by king Casimir of Poland to a duel for the right to the Polish crown (which was contested at the time). Casimir knew that John is very chivalrous and wouldn't refuse an honorable duel, despite being blind. And he didn't. He just set one small rule. To make the duel fair, Casimir had to gouge out his own eyes. Casimir backed down.

Were the Genoese Crossbowmen at Crecy aware of their impending doom? Why, Yes! Their heavy "Pavese"-shields were still held up with the rest of Phillipe's baggage train, their ill-fated attack consequently turned into a route, breaking the momentum of the french cavalry... Sometimes a single mistake is enought.

7:59 Major respect. ✊

I miss the descriptions of military strategies in extra history. The Punic wars series was great because of this.

One small correction. Edward did not decide to face the French at Agincourt. He was outmaneuvered and was thus forced to face the french if he wanted to flee to England.

0:42 This is modern France, middle age france was only half of the that territory. Despite that, i would not be surprise that France was 5 times more populated than England at that time.

Brutal. Reminds me a bit of Formingy or Castillon.

Hey guys! I actually had the privilege of doing my MA dissertation on this period, and I think you did a great job of boiling it down to an easily digestable quick video. The bit about Edward III's 'teaching self reliance' is very amusing, especially in the context of 'eh, I've got other sons'. One slight quibble I have is that Philip VI really wasn't in control of the French army at Crecy. In large part, the large French force arrived piecemeal and pretty much went straight into it.

Lost the battle, won the war.

The crossbowmen of the French army were actually Genoese crossbowmen, the best armed and trained crossbowmen on the continent. They would usually fight behind big Pavese shields, but due to a logistic disaster made by the French generals, not only they deployed the crossbowmen without their shields in a disadvantegeous position, but the rain also soaked the strings of their weapons, thus rendering them completely useless.

“Edward would teach the French that the most powerful weapon on the battlefield was a lightly armoured, low-born peasant.” Well that backfired

Love that David Crowther is doing these episodes! I just started listening to his podcast a little while back as I've got more into early English history.

The battle of Crecy was actually even more of a French F§€£* up. They basically assumed they would win to the point of forcing their crossbow men went into the field without an essential piece of their equipment. A large shield which they would hide behind.This was after they were forced to stand in the rain, with their crossbows. Funny thing about the drawstring of a crossbow is that its quite complex to take off a crossbow. You know what the English archers did? Have their drawstrings under their helmets. Basically the longbowmen were able to massacre the French army almost at their leisure. The casualty count was tens of thousands of French knights and men at arms dead and wounded versus maybe a few hundred dead English troops. The battle basically made cavalry defunct on the battlefield for a few hundred years.

John of Bohemia did not see that coming... (I'm going to Hell, right now...)

LONG LIVE BRITANIA!

Are you going to do the whole 100 years war or just the English victories at the beginnning? My feeling was that these are pretty well covered in comparison to the end of the war leading into the war of the roses.

I just love the way the horses are drawn.

This is marvellous I love davids storytelling

At this point most of the extra credits characters would have a plan.

French army: trained and well equipped knights with courage English army: we have peasants with bigger bows

Great narration.

Who wins? A large group of Crossbow infantry? Or Some Sheep bois with a large stick and string?

To bad the crossbow didn't not have the pavise shield

French noblemen boast about their superior chivalry and upbringing. Poor English peasants: "I'm about to end this man's whole career."

There were no poor English peasants in this battle ,the French man at arms and the English longbowman usually come from the same social class just with different level of wealth

The good ol french vs english probably the oldest rivalry that is still going.

loving this so far. im kinda lookig forward to the part where we start going through multiple generations of royals

Edward III's infantry tactics were by no means revolutionary. The Flemish were using similar tactics against French cavalry as early as 1302 (Battle of the Golden Spurs), after which the French quickly adapted (see Mons-en-Pevele in 1305).

Good video
