The spear (sarisa) phalanx is actually superior to Roman shield formations, atleast in the front. The only problem is it's lack of flexibility, getting outflanked or enemies getting too close means doom. That's why the macedonians employ skirmisher and archer supports, a role that was replaced by unreliable mercenaries during the roman conquests. It became viable again because of better armor against arrows and the invention of poleaxe and various types of polearms that are more versatile than a long pointy stick. The Chinese empires had this much earlier, even had a version of a poleaxe almost as long as a sarisa. Lamelar is good enough against arrows, so shields became smaller (or got rid of). This is because of their traditional enemies, the stepped nomads, who mainly uses cavalry. And that's where the crossbows come into picture, arming large number of peasants with this easy to use weapon means they had a decent supporting force.

There are several competing truisms at work in medieval battles. 1 - Disciplined blocks of infantry will always defeat a cavalry charge. 2 - A cavalry charge is almost impossible to resist. It mostly boiled down to the discipline of the infantry. If they broke (either to flee, or to pursue) then their formation was gone and the enemy cavalry could slaughter them. If they stood fast, then the cavalry basically couldn't hurt them. However, like any rule, there are notable exceptions. For instance, there was a kind of arms race in the eastern Mediterranean between the spearman and the cataphract. The medieval Romans employed large blocks of disciplined spearmen who could successfully receive a heavy cavalry charge, which was crucial in their battles against the Arabs and Turks. However, once those groups started to copy their tactics and techniques, they had to come up with something to beat their own methods. Enter the klibanophoros, a super-heavy cataphract variant. They had armor on their horses that was thick enough for them to charge directly into spears and come out alive. The spear shafts would break before the blades would penetrate the horses' armor. Naturally, once the Saracens began to copy this as well, the Romans had to come up with yet another solution. They marked out picked men of exceptional strength and gave them extremely heavy short spears made of whole saplings (IIRC the measure of a suitable tree was that you could barely fit your hand around it). These heavy spears were strong enough to beat the horses' armor, so that when the Saracen heavy cavalry charged the spear wall, the picked men would rush out in front and their spears would punch through the horses' armor, wiping out the charge. Over time this shifted from having them rush out ahead, to having them shift from the back of the line to the front, and finally to integrating them into the line itself, intermixing them with the regular spearmen. Of course, the medieval Romans had a rather decisive edge over most any other power at the time, in that they could afford to maintain and equip elite formations of disciplined, professional spearmen, heavy armored cataphracts, and even a few hundred klibanophoroi, backed by a millenium-long tradition of military science and generalship. And even their finances eventually suffered to the point where they were no longer able to support some of those formations.

There's also the issue with the fact that horses will not charge spears. Not even Napoleonic era cavalry, some of the largest and best trained cavalry in history, would charge a unit with fixed bayonets. The only way you can convince a horse to charge a densely packed block of infantry with any level of gusto required to rush through it is for that group of infantry to break formation and create gaps. If they do not, your horse will either stop very quickly or it will slow down enough to remove almost all of the impact from your charge. It's for this reason that even in the medieval period cavalry did not dominate the battlefield, they simply played a vital role. Just like how infantry, archers, cannon, and crossbowmen did not dominate the battlefield either.

Djorgal Yea, but Stalin is A. more famous and B. his quote actually has a different meaning: "The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic." Stalins quote challenges the morals of the people and the emotional reaction they show when hearing about different situation, a nation is shattered after heard of the death of one - special - person, so shouldn't they face the same shattering reaction a million times after hearing of the death of millions? This shows us that human lives are not equal, we want to believe that they are, because it raises our own simple existence to the same importance, in the eyes of morality, as someone actually important. -- The other quote is also questioning human morality, but not about the actual value of a human life, rather how those who take them are viewed. Everyone can murder someone, doing this however is seen as giving in to ones primitive primal spirit, we superior advanced humans would never do this, only scum would! Someone with the ability to murder so unbelievably many people must be someone special, someone with a higher cause, and we can only mourne so much, in fact, we can only mourne for our own family because we're no longer inside the group. And something which is able to murder millions must be a god, bearing death of millions on your shoulder, as you have ability to murder cultures you can't be simple, you can't be a primitive animal! and as there are only animals, humans and gods, you must therefore be a god; and your cause must be truly rigtous, otherwise you couldn't have succeded!

In my research, while they were regarded as fearsome, they were often of a size and fire capacity (as in the fire they could produce was pretty limited) that even one man with a horse, lance, and shield could handle it. I think an army could handle a single Dragon, archers could poke holes in its wings if nothing else, and the footmen could mob it rather quickly... obviously the Valeria dragons were significantly larger.

ETA: Actually in many ways the practice continued in the late medieval and post medieval periods. Barbary corsairs still raided southern Europe, so places like Ceuta and Tunis had a booming ransom industry with the Ottoman Empire, France, the Knight Hospitallers, Portugal, the Italian States and Spain ransoming and trading prisioners well into the modern age.

Not all of them were ransomed and quite a few of those captured from Spain to Ireland did end up as slaves. Of course conversion could also mean freedom due to the Quranic prohibition against enslaving muslims and the Catholic church usually also tried to pay mass ransoms, but there was no garantee that someone captured in a raid wouldn't end their lives in slavery.

I am travelling so I was without internet connection until this morning, when I got the notification of a new video and noticed that Shad had talked about exactly what I asked him for on his last video. Really, thank you Shad, it will help a LOT with my book.

Presumably, when describing the knights with couched lances, you are largely talking about moments like the early victory at Damascus in the 1st Crusade, where a knight charge into the Muslim camp won the battle before it ever engaged. But, largely, the couched lance charge wasn't used. It's distinctive enough to get mentioned whenever it was used, but that visible is a mark of rarity. After all, that's a very committed action that really is only going to work against a tall force that you can charge directly into, like say, more cavalry. However, the loss of horses is going to be severe (it kind of depended on the moment whether human death would be severe, but animals were not in good shape). Horses are expensive, and knights didn't like throwing away they're animal compatriots' lives. So, I'd argue the most distinctive feature of medieval combat was the development of the stirrup, and with it, the feigned charge. This was a particularly Norman thing at first, where they'd all run, get up alongside their target, then turn all at the same time and run parallel to it, abusing the length of the lance to chip away at the shield wall. This is clearly indicated at descriptions of Hastings, and continued to be used into at least the 13th century. (Cavalry fights then would look kind of silly, where one side chases the other, turns, and is chased back across the field until someone got chipped enough to force a retreat).

One thing to note, Chinese Christians who visited Europe remarked the fact that non-combatants weren't harmed during combat which to the Chinese was very strange, as they were used to seeing the massacre of innocents at all times during combat.

I just yesterday found your channel and I want to just say I love it! And I have a question (for anyone who knows really). If I'm not confusing things, this channel is mostly focused on the later medieval, or true medieval, the one after year 1000, right? So I'm personally very interested in learning about early medieval or whatever name you prefer for the times about years 500-800. Do you know any good place on the internet (or a book) that I could learn about it from? I'm interested in the general view, things like everyday live, cieties, how did people fight and rule and all that in general. Anyone, anything?

Hey great video by the way it since you've covered Age of Empires 2 before I wonder if you could do a video comparing the four ages of Age of Empires 2 to the periods of medieval history.

I quite like your cross overs with other KZread people. I feel they way you do them is tastefully done.

1:00 Its insights like these that i watch your Videos for.

Well, I don't imagine any castle would be very effective. The garrison though would be marvelously effective.

Blackrabbit Down Well, kind of. Modern castles are usually called bunkers.

Sorry shad, they beat you by 4 minutes....

This was an unlikely crossover, two of my favorite youtubers came together. My mind was blown seeing the thumbnail

These crossovers were awesome!

Wow this is a great video, using it for a presentation to my western civ class

Really Interesting Break Down. Showing the difference between the three.

Can you make a video about the how fantasy races would conduct sieges like Dwarves with heavy artillery and tunneling Elves with magical weapons of mass destruction.

Dwarves, Skaven, and Gobbos use tunnelling. Elves tend to rely more on magic and arrogance.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Not Spongebob, Shad killed him.

This topic reminded me of a book series I read in middle school, the Farsala Trilogy. One of the primary things in the first book was a large scale battle between two opposing nations, and the after effects of it. It's fantasy and has some magic, but when I read it I thought it approached things in a highly realistic manner. Shad, I personally think you might enjoy the books, so if you ever have any spare time, you might want to look into them.

Very Informative thank you!
