It was a tactic used at the time to capture the commander.

The first line would do its best to contain the enemy infantry in the meantime so that they can't assist their knights. But the English commander was stupid at first to not think the French would use this tactic On the opposite the French were lucky to be served by very able commanders.

Dynasties are not smooth continuum like some people believe. Valois died off but Bourbon still survives.

You only hint at it in the narration, but a big part of Bouvines was the French army initially feinting a retreat, and Otto's army following them in the preceding days. Philip chose Bouvines because the terrain (forest on one side, swamp on the other) protected his flanks and negated Otto's numerical superiority. Also it was a Sunday (and fighting on a Sunday was forbidden by the Church), Otto didn't care since he was already excommunicated, but it was bad for morale of his troops.

Voltair's quote was idiotic. The Empire remained a powerhouse and a coherent state structure until Napoleon created trouble in the European framework. The empire was Latin Europe's preeminent empire outright until at least around the end of the 100 years war, and would continuously play on equal ground with France, England and Spain throughout it's existence. The reason people have so much trouble in framing it's history, is because it doesn't fit into the normal national narrative which can make it very difficult to tell. However, the Holy Roman Empire certainly deserves a place among the great empires of history, and is Germany's finest legacy.

"He ordered repair of damaged Imperial Eagle and sent it back to Emperor Otto" Actually, he sent it to the young Frederick of Hohenstaufen, another pretender to the imperial throne ; Frederick II would later be known as "Stupor Mundi", and a man who took back Jerusalem diplomatically. So the victory of Bouvines didn't have consequences for England only ; It also changed the balance of dynastic power in the Empire, at least until Frederick's death.

So happy you did this one, this is likely the most important european battle that most people have not heard of. This is the start of a clear divide between England and France, with England towards a weak monarchy and powerful nobility, which turns into the modern democratic parliament with ceremonial monarchy, and France's turn towards absolutism. I love the little things you throw in as well, such as Philippe changing from king of the Franks to King of France; from Rex Francium to Roi de France. Philippe II is among the most important rulers in the history of Europe. Also, whether Louis could defeat Jon in the west is questionable. Louis had a fearsome military reputation and was know as "the Lion". Jon was a largely incompetent military leader. What is clear is that Jon was in a horrible position after the battle, and had to flee to keep his crown. Otto was not so lucky, and was disposed shortly after the battle.

Aaron Paul Any King that has the will and strength to pull off the miracle of Agincourt definitely deserves to be king. I think all the kings of England knew their claims on the French throne were weak, they just pursuit it as a matter of glory seeking on the battlefield and looting the French country. Ironically it was a Frenchman at the time of Edward III that came to English court as a political exile and told Edward III the easy pickings there is in France and it would be easy to usurp the king that finally convinced Edward III to have a go at it and to make it even more insulting, he stole the French coat of arms. If you read English history books, they all make it very clear that Edward III really didn't have any interest in the French throne...at Rheims he simply called off the battle that would have saw the Plantagenets put on the throne of France in a single generation and all he wanted was to be the supreme lord of all French lands he'd conquered since Sluys. Although technically, his mother was Isabelle of France and in English law it's perfectly acceptable to accept the crown through female or male. (Although I hate Isabella of France because she was an enemy of the nation) But you're right about Henry V claim the throne via blood was noting, however Kings that conquered can be crowned too...the English know about that all too much. And if Henry V hadn't of died prematurely of dysentery, I reckon he would have easily conquered the rest of France. He was an extreme tough man, he took a deflected longbow arrow through the face in Wales and survived. As for Bouvines, I don't think it's anymore important that the first barons war....England managed to defy King John I, Pope Innocent III and Prince Louis to get the Magna Carta and English independence independence...and the Magna Carta is considered to be "ground zero" for modern Western European democracy.

Oh dear Henry, I am familiar with Robert d'Artois, though he fled to seek help in regaining control of Artois which he felt was taken by the duchess of Burgundy. How much he thought of victory is questionable, especially since he held Charles and Philippe of Valois in such high regard prior to being exiled. Edward used the claim to try and rebuild the Angevin lands lost to France during the first hundred years war, he never really thought his claim was a strong one. And it wasnt. If we argue that the Capetian rights come from the election of Hugh Capet, and that its the recognition by the Peers of France that make a king legitimate, then Edward III had no claim since not a single Peer recognized his claim. He also accepted Philippe VI and only made his claim something like a decade into his reign. If we argue that woman can inherit, then Louis X had a daughter that should inherit the throne, her claim is far stronger than Edwards. Since we accepted at the time that women could not, it passed to Louis X's brothers. When they died without heirs, that is when the Valois were crowned. Isabella argued that the line could pass through her to a male child. But if that is the case, why not pass to the grandson of Louis X: Charles II of Navarre? Since his claim is to Louis X rather than Philippe IV, he has a stronger claim right there. If we accept all of Edward's arguments, he STILL doesnt have a strong claim to the crown. I understand your argument, that its might that makes right. Edward's and by extension Henry V's was by conquest more than blood. But that is very dangerous. When you throw out legitimacy, and you normalize regicide and deposing kings, you get the War of the Roses. A monarchy works because of the respect for the right of the sovereign to govern, and that this right comes from something beyond having the most soldiers. Rome fell in part because they could never get into this idea of a monarch's authority being sacrosanct. The english managed to defy Jon because the disaster at Bouvines. There is a reason that the barons war broke out after Bouvines and not during the reigns of Henry II or Richard. Had Jon been successful in defending his french territory, the war would not have broken out. Bouvines is vital because it is the origin of absolutism in France and democracy in England.

Aaron Paul Aaron Paul Well, I suppose if you want to make the argument about Bouvines being responsible for the the first Barons war and then the Magna Carta, then I guess it's also correct to say that Britain bankrupted France during the Seven Years war and the American revolution..thus giving you the first republic and because we beat Napoleon...give you the second republic too. You can keep on reducing the cause and effect back and back and back until you get to a first cause and by the time you get there, it's negligible. I think Bouvines was defiantly a contributing factor but the nobles of England were disgruntled long before this battle ever took place and were wanting reparations for 'crimes and injustices' going right back to Henry II especially regarding church rights and the royal forrest. We do not have access to an alternative universe to see how things might have turned out but there's nothing to say something else wouldn't have happened in England that led to the same outcome. And let's not forget it's not just King John that the barons had to beat off, they had to go up again Pope Innocent III and then remove Prince Louis and his soldiers from England too...so it took will power and determination to gain their rights and I think that's more of an important factor than the disaster of Bouvines that might or might not have happened in a different way some other time anyway. By the same logic should I be thanking the Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV for losing his campaign too? So I respectfully disagree with you, I think the significance of the first barons war and the Magna Carta deserve to be held up in their own right, just like the revolution in France does. England got shuck to the core after Hastings and the the Magna Carta spookily reflects the Anglo-Saxon Witangenot. As for the succession of French monarchs, I can't talk about the matter, I'm not schooled enough on the history of the French monarchs, so I have no right to talk about who should and shouldn't be king of your country, the British monarchy between Henry I and Henry VII is my specialist area. The 100 years war for England is more about 'little England' giving the big boys on Europe a good beating, Sluys, Crecy, Agincourt have been launched into folklore here, you can switch on the TV and usually find a channel somewhere that's talking about how the Yeoman of England went up against chivalrous elite of France and beat them all, you can come to England and see lordly manors and churches that were face-lifted with French coin looted on the Chevauchees scattered all over the country. As an interesting story, when Isabella and Edward II had their first born, Isabella wanted to call the boy "Louis" after French kings but the English nobility were outraged and demanded the boy be called Edward, a traditional name for English kings. Isabella of France was a nightmare in England and she was surely France's spanner in the works, when she annexed power with her lover Mortimer, she signed the Edinburg-Northampton treaty with Scotland that took a massive shit on the wars the had become De facto English tradition since Edward I...it was known as the national shame and it was obviously Isabella supporting France's allies against the English. It all became too much, Edward III and his men kicked down her bedroom door and too her away to be under arrest for the remaining years of her life and the he executed Mortimer and give England a war that could redeem national pride...and so the rest his history, he gifted up Sluys and Crecy and we've been mischievously bragging about it ever since. The wars of the roses also wasn't a succession war, it was a war over the best direction to take in France. Henry VI's corner wanted to pursuit peace but Richard Duke of York wanted to follow in the legacy of Henry's father and push a more aggressive campaign...initially it wasn't about a breakdown of succession, it was a war over foreign policy. The Lancastrians wanted peace and the Yorkists wanted war.

France had some weaknesses : religions Wars, neighbours, a different idea of the World dominance which was less efficient the one of the British.

The castle was held by the Senechal of Anjou, which had just been appointed by Phillippe, and thus did not surrender. Louis arrived on the rear of John's army, forcing them to flee and abandon all his siege's equipment, preventing him from causing any further threat. Beside this point, big hail to this synthetic and very interesting video !

Belittling defeats as minor or accidental is a constant in British military history, due to an heavy Victorian influence, trying to declare British infantry as "invincible" after victory in Napoleonic wars, even if the decisive battles were fought by the Prussian, Russian and Austrian armies; the exception, Waterloo, being a day saved by the Prussian arrival.

@@lollius88 Half the army wiped off, the other one disintegrated, no bowmen in view for 24 years. But your point stand. English history (no uppercase). Victories are compared by their effect, not the number of losses. There were much less casualties at Zama than at Cannae. Patay and Castillon expelled England from France. Sluys is mostly ignored because most of the killed were nearly defenceless seamen. It did not stop the French raids on English coast. Crecy and Agincourt, major victories but inconclusive in their results, were celebrated from late 16th c. on, to lick the wounds of the Two Roses war triggered by the defeat in HYW, then the access to English throne of one Tudors in exile in France, supported by the French Scottish force that the French female regent, Anne de Beaujeu, provided. True, Waterloo victory was the result of an agreement between Wellington and Blücher (Wellington had no authority on Blücher), but when you need another army to avoid defeat, the other army saves yours. Or if you want another wording, decisive victories over Napoleon were achieved by UK allies in 1812 to 1814 campaigns, and even against the much smaller army of 1815, victory was out of reach of British army but for the Prussians.

boss180888 boss180888 Obviously you are too historically illiterate to understand their period properly. "Simon De Montfort is one of the greatest Englishman" -Napoleon Bonaparte: So if L'empeurer can understand it, then it shouldn't be too hard for you. Simon De Montfort turned his back on France and made a new life for himself in England, this was a time of great suspicion and fear of foreigners in England, so Simon had to completely integrate himself into the fabric of the English community via marriage and property, Simon even sponsored the christening of Henry III's first sons who's namesake was St Edward the confessor. So he basically converted to an Englishman and he's seen as a hero figure here in England because he's one of the founding fathers of British parliament. "The English are the only people in the world in which they have a system where they can allow the king to be all powerful when he does good but tie his hands when he does bad" - Voltaire (Voltaire was a great Anglophile by the way, he adored English society and wrote England a love letter that made English culture very popular in France) Also Richard FitzNeal in the Dialogs of the Exchequer 1171 said "After the English and Normans have been living side by side for so long and intermarrying, it's become scarcely possible to tell who is of English or Norman decent anymore", which is basically saying the English and Normans have been shagging and drinking together for so long they are the same people. And that's a considerable 40 years before the battle of Bouvines took place, so no, you can dream on you little foreign loser but England was not owned by Frenchmen. In the articles of the barons the ENGLISH barons demanded that "alien births be removed from positions of office in England", which proves in 1215 place of birth was important to English. Some years before this, when King John was just a Prince and Richard I was on the throne, one of his supporters called Hugh Bishop of Coventry (an important position and very respectable) wrote a letter of complaint to Richard I about the Lord Treasurer William Longchamps not being able to speak a word of their language and should be removed. William Longchamps made jokes about "going to make English" every time he went to the toilet (how could William joke about his turds being English if England was ruled by the French? Learn English history you fucking outsider) and felt so unsafe that he brought Flemish bodyguards into England and it upset the English so much they forced him to go on the run, when William got to Dover and tried to hire a boat to scuttle off back to Normandy, he was caught and thrown into prison, later the English barons made jokes of their own but this time they joked about him being caught because he couldn't speak English to order a boat. So even the English language was important long before the first barons war happened. And now, let's mop up some myths about the Magna Carta. The English barons were faced up against the sovereign king and the ferocious Pope Innocent III (perhaps the most famous medieval pope), so the English were desperate for support. Prince Louis was invited to take the crown because they wanted the Magna Carta (in theory a Chinaman can be on the throne of England and it wouldn't matter because the barons pushed policies and upheld rights that benefited England, in exchange for tax grants) but soon as Louis came to England he started bringing over his French favourites for court and it upset the English beyond recovery, even when the rebels lost skirmishes, Prince Louis would only pay the ransom for his French soldiers and leave the English to their fate, so it was never going to work. Soon as little Henry got crowned...the rebels defected to the royalist camp and kicked Prince Louis and his French soldiers back across the channel. So it was a great patriotic movement that restored honour to the English. Also, the first few versions of the Magna Carta were deigned to protect the rights of the barons because they wanted to keep hold of the freedoms and democracy they had just created from failure. What you historically illiterate foreigners don't know is that in the 1225 version of the Magna Carta, it was revised and changed to apply "to all the people of our realm", no matter what your social rank, it was wrote in English, French and Latin (all three languages of England) for the first time and was displayed all over the country in towns and villages for peasants and landholders alike to see....that's glorious and is a fantastic tribute to English society, no other medieval country was as socially advanced and forwards thinking as England was, France wasn't even close.
