The Bloodiest Medieval Battles You've Never Heard Of
Ойын-сауық
Numerous battles that took place during the Middle Ages are well known. The Battle of Hastings in 1066, for example, has been studied from nearly every angle. In addition to looking at the details of the conflict itself, historians and the general public continue to assess its influence on culture and politics alike.
Many people have the same type of interest in battles fought during the Scottish Wars of Independence, those that took place during the Hundred Years' War, and all kinds of crusading efforts throughout the medieval period. Alongside the best-known battles are numerous little-known skirmishes and conflicts. No less full of carnage and heroism, these fights and their overall impact on life and death during the Middle Ages have been overlooked.

"Cnut the great", whose name must be pronounced very carefully..." That cracked me up!
I give you such praises for pronouncing all these cities and people's names effortlessly, not just in this video but in many of them.

He can't pronounce them. I thought he said "Battle of Herrljunga" but it was "Battle of Helgeå". Americans are not Europeans and will never be
People talk about theses battles and knights , but forget that most of the combatants were not full time soldiers , but rather normal farmers and tradesmen forced to fight in times of war , but when these people died there was nobody to replace them and lands were affected for decades
Who knew history could be this brutal and thrilling? These battles deserve their own epic movie saga! 🍿🛡
Still nothing next to the daily battle I had, with my 9 year old every school day, getting him to find and put on his shoes.

Very interesting video! I would like to know more about the 100 years war and what was going on during that time. Period. Keep up the great work and great content👍👍
Very interesting as usual :) OH a question have you even done a video about those UK pirate radios of the 60's ?
07:29. The Battle on the Ice is the climax of Russian film Alexander Nevsky, by Sergei Einsestein (1938). You can see Russia was preparing to war when the movie was edited. Also, the soundtrack by Sergei Prokofiev became a cantata. The charge of the Teutonic Knights is thrilling - a cavalry charge in music. (Look for the video "BBC Proms 2011 Prokofiev Alexander Nevsky." It's the best charge in music I have seen.)

Odd and random coincidence, it almost sounded like you said "Canoe the Great" for Cnut and the painting of him looks like he's holding a small canoe in his lap

These are all pretty popular and well-known battles, so the title of the video is quite misleading... I've literally heard of and know the details of all the battles you mentioned.
OMG there’s clearly more than one narrator Dude needs a break once in a while, just like everyone else
I'm sorry but all of these are not common era they happened hundreds of years ago so stop saying CE it's AD it just makes more sense

All the lame jokes ruin these videos seriously
Medieval battles had nothing on ancient battles. For instance, the battle of Cannae in 216 BCE.
Whats with the CE bull$#!+ 😠 This is not a religious comment, but if we find BC & AD so offensive then we should get rid of the Gregorian calendar 🙄🤦🏼♂️
