WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THERE IS A PART 2, IT SAYS NOWHERE THAT IS IS PART ONE

Dan jones is such a great historical communicator. There are better historians but none better at translating history into a way your average viewer could have interest in.

I’ve visited France about 30 times over the past 47 years and seen all of Normandy and paid my respects at the cemeteries and monuments of the 1st and 2nd world wars, especially at the Welsh Dragon at the Somme battlefield (because I’m Welsh obviously..). I love Calvados for obvious reasons and paired with crepes it’s utter perfection ! The food is especially delicious here. We’ve visited Brittany many times, Paris (I stood by the Eiffel Tower but didn’t go up - it’s better seen from a distance as someone who’s deathly afraid of heights plus you get the full perspective), Rouen, Bordeaux, Champagne, Cognac, travelled through the Alps, been to Perpignan, Nice, Provence, La Rochelle (my personal favourite), Royan and La Palmyre near Les Mathes. I’ve got cousins who have a house in St Jean D’Angeley near Saintes and we visited regularly as children and as adults staying about 20 minutes away. I love Cognac and visiting the cellars and producers such as Rémy Martin and Courvoisier. We love Royan, the Charante Maritime, Vendee and the Loire and Rhone Valley as well as the Dordogne. It’s a beautiful country with incredible scenery, food and wine and the people are friendly and welcoming especially when you at least try speaking the language ! That’s where most people come unstuck, they don’t even try and often get a poor response from the French people.. If you at least try, they love it and love trying their English out on you ! I’d recommend everyone to go and see all of these beautiful places and try the wonderful food especially regional specialties that that particular region is known and celebrated for, as well as the fabulous wine, champagne, cognac and Calvados - go and enjoy it !!

Yes we need a full exploration of this conflict! Add to the excellent narrative some of the practical explanations of tactics and the weapons... Tod's Workshop would be a great start.

Love you Dan watch every video you are in!

I have been looking forward to watching this ever since I was waiting for Essex Dogs to come out, and I have to say, I was not disappointed!

Great presentation by Dan Jones, no stupid infantile jokes, just intelligent dialogue. Historians generally agree that the 14th c was overall the most violent in the history of Europe and this campaign was typical of what the citizens constantly faced. Part 2 please?

Finally some new content. Not the same documentaries disguised with new titles and thumbnails. Thank you !

Fantastic and powerful documentary

The title is misleading - should be "Retracing the ransacking and pillaging of Normandy by the army of Edward III in 1346". As the video does not cover the Battle of Crecy it shouldn't be in the title.

There is a part II I think. Nonetheless, the constant talk about how violent wars are is just silly now. Historians should be grown ups who understand that humans do wars because we can and we will and this is perfectly normal. No wars leads to social collapse which is very peculiar. Humans do poorly during peacetime. Namely, they fight each other at home! Best to take this to someone else!

And if you are proud of that then good luck to you!

Where do they put their stuff until it is over? AND, I imagine those soldiers had plenty of deadly fights when the "stuff" of one was challenged by the other! This is wonderful!!!!!

I may have missed it but there should have been some discussion of follow-up videos regarding what happened next.

I like the inclusion of the medieval accounts and illustrations. Are the colors really that vibrant?

Wanted to learn about the Battle Crecy as the title listed. Still wanting. Kind of false advertising. If there are multiple parts, it should be listed as such. I enjoyed "Part 1". He is a good story teller.

Crecy, 1346. And then the Black Death in 1348 -1349. Not a good time for anyone in Normandy..

I am wondering when part 2 is coming out.

Good grief. I descended from 'chivalry' class of people (after voting to behead the King our family fled to Flanders and then to New Holland in the New World). We fought all the time, fought in France, fought in England and then fought in the New World. We made history and history always was and is a bloody business. Being all wimpy about this business is irritating. Good grief. Wars are human events. Humans have been at wars since we first used rocks attached to sticks for crying out loud.

22:16 the chapter title is 'Chevrolet', as in the cars, not 'Chevauchée'.

I love history; especially Medieval European History. But I could never have been an Historian.

It`s not easy, but at least it has rules.

"Heroism against the perfidious french" is not the usual view. Its the view of the anglosaxon world, mind you.

This title is misleading. The Battle of Crécy is not featured here at all. Everything in the video preceded the battle. I suggest the title should be modified to, 'King Edward Invades Northern France' or 'The Campaign towards Crécy' or something of the like. I like the video. The title does not entirely match with the content is all.

The chevauchee period is very interesting. the idea of pillaging rather than taking territory makes me wonder what might have been if they'd committed to an actual invasion and populated that area earlier than they did

One of my ancestors was at the Battle of Hastings. It didn't take much to take over. All the successful soldiers got land and peasants and horses so they merrily lived it up for several hundred years! Whoopee! This didn't require a huge invading force, just men in armor and boats and horses taking over the top parts of the systems and then being 'police' to keep things running afterwards! We left England when the Civil War broke out and we were on the losing side and fled to the New World. And resumed fighting over there! here in America.

The part about an opposed landing is purely for drama. There was no reason for it to ever happen in medieval warfare. The attacker would simply land where the enemy wasn't. And certainly never against prepared positions. This is why raiders were so effective; pop up with fast ships, strike an easy target and get away before any land forces could catch them.

I seek out history videos and watched a Dan Jones/Dan Snow program on the Crusades and liked it. I did not stay with this one though because of Dan Jones’ heavily tattooed arms which distracted me too much. ;(

32:30 ...300 year old earth and timber walls? Sounds helpful.

Must have been wonderful

The ideal man

This is such a great documentary! Where is the rest of it? Where is part two?

24:10 In my opinion Dr. Elodie Giard does some unfounded generalisations about the mindset of people in the medieval age. All right, her focus is the hundred year war in which such atrocities like the _scorched-earth policy: the chevauchée_ were executed without a doubt. But you simply can't extrapolate this kind of warfare to the whole medieval age.

So funny that the "Rouen" chapter is titled "Rome".😄

I had no idea Dan Jones was so tatted up!

Where I live it a small town called Cressy.

I retrace this battle often immersively in Total War or Bannerlord.

Why the hell would you burn down the place you're trying to take over?

Unfortunately, despite making great headlines at the time (Yay! We're all descended from kings of England), claims that most of us are descended from Edward III are total nonsense, based on mathematically modelled computer projections using iffy statistical values, many of which are demonstrably incorrect, rather than good old fashioned painstaking research. There are plenty of known historical and genealogical facts that appear to dispel this claim, such as the extinction of the paternal Norman lineages, the mtDNA survey to discover living descendants of Cheddar Gorge Man, the genealogical search for living ancestors of Cecilly Neville, and the Marquis of Ruvigny's research into the number of possible living descendants of Edward's in 1907, which identified a possible 80,000-100,000 descendants - which can be extrapolated to a maximum of around 2m indivduals today, which is a far cry from the claims made by Millard, Rutherford, and a few others, that we are all descended from Edward.
