Biden’s America. It’s coming.
I loveee this so much, so passionate about the castle no music no interference just some sweet history !! I subscribed!!!🎉🎉🎉 I'm from South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Praying for them all. ❤
This man is quite devoted to a realistic presentation of the past. Great video.
That was a great story and a fantastic piece of history. I was totally enthralled through the entire video. That was a good one!
William's father was definitely correct. Always remember that you can have as many children as you like as long as you're alive. So always save yourself first, your wife and/or any willing plump young maidens in easy reach and your children last
My ancestors too. They are not forgotten, even here in fl.
The David Attenborough of History. They gotta give you your own show on TV. :D
The Skyrim probably came from a famous American boast where you say I'd be playing professional baseball or whatever but my knee gave out
Mr. Hicks you're a man after my own heart when it comes to History and it's telling. Whenever we submerge ourselves in the era or the particular event we understand it more thoroughly. Great video sir!!!
I prefer the battle of Castillon . And by the way it's Azincourt .
Only 15 😢 still to this day there's a 2 Tier system
Loved it, as usual!
I used to be an arrow like you until I penetrated an adventurer in the knee.
1:45 makes me uncomfortable
Incredible acting, sir! I have to admit if I didn't know that you were acting i would have felt hate...It was fascinating to listen to the motivations behind your characters actions. I hope that you do more of thesekinds of videos, It was very enlightening. Thank you so much, and God bless
Thank you for the stories. My heart is heavy from the pain the girls suffered. Those were somebody's children. May their souls rest in peace. But i know they are in Heaven with our father
Thanks for the story telling Kevin.Are well the English Archer,s are still refered as The Butcher,s of Agincourt by some Frenchmen.As i well know.

There's nothing like having the real life Victor Saltzpyre telling old stories of history, lessons, and laws. Very awesome stuff.
OMG! How could you possibly do your mum? Unless she is really fit?
Dreadful. Are we all capable of such vicious behavior or only some of us?
Quality storytelling! Im from Lithuania, lived in England for 8 years, and love history. Thank you, sir!
Thanks for watching 👍
So... the arrow to his knee he's talking about. The guard in skyrim. Isn't literal, he's referring to marriage, or more accurately the act of getting engaged. Basically, he's saying he settled down, and started a family. I didn't realize this actually went over so many heads.
Interesting yes but I’d also read that’s just an urban myth. 👍
@thehistorysquad no limp, and it fits Bethesda humor. It's not a myth, people just don't like being told they missed something. Makes them feel less intelligent. Which is dumb, because most miss plenty on Bethesda titles. Granted though, obsidian has better humor. Lol
The husband and the son should have been equally charged hell they probably did worse than the old heifer did It's disgusting they basically got away with it nasty bastards
So funny.love it.
Taking an arrow to the knee is a euphemism for getting married
I lived no far from Tamworth over the border in Warwickshire. We used to cycle to Tamworth to go to the open air swimming pool . Tamworth is an interesting town .
I'm gonna have to get myself a nice swig of that sweet juice to know what all the fuss was about.
Where I birmingham you from kevin
Born in Nechells.
@@thehistorysquad I'm from King's heath Thanks for your vids
The fact this video is so hilariously out of date with the peak relevancy of the knee meme is actually some avant-garde grade comedy. I'm not even joking Also fantastic video <3 new sub
😜 welcome!
It always seems like the statistics from back then never make any sense. Like how quickly Harold and the Anglo-Saxon army marched north to Stamford Bridge and then back to Hastings. Or the whole, "a good destrier cost 4,500 sheep." Which Ive heard before. Nothing crazy about a horse costing 40,000£$€. Horses today can cost far more than that. But 40,000£$€ (obviously not the same amount but close enough for our purposes) does not equal 4,500 sheep. That is a lot of sheep. I'll use dollars because I'm American... A unprepared, not deboned or ground or anything, lamb carcass is over 400$. An older male live sheep is over 100$. Lambs probably twice that much and a healthy ewe is worth closer to 500$. Those are all conservative estimates but inflation is crazy right now so I'll be conservative. Even if live sheep were worth only 100$ that's still 100$ times 4,500 equals 450,000$. 4,500, again, is a ton of sheep. I don't think sheep could have been THAT much cheaper back then as they were probably even more important as a source of wool in a world without synthetic fibers and in a more agricultural world in general in which livestock were highly valued. Plus, while a good destrier might have a high value you can't compare the ownership of one to the ownership of 4,500 sheep. A horse, even an expensive one, just needs a small stall, a horses worth of feed, and a bit of attention and exercise. Taking care of 4,500 sheep is big, full time job for multiple people and requires a lot of land for them to graze on and a lot of money and space to keep and feed them in the winter. It's a decently sized enterprise. It's a kind of wealth that really can't be compared to owning a single horse simply because it costs a lot to take care of that many sheep. Pedantic and boring perhaps but these kinds of things always stick out to me. First I try to make sense of them and then I usually decide I can't and then I start to wonder how these facts and figures get established in the first place.
Excellent
Excellent.
Catherine was a freak 😅😂
Do you have a video on Jack the ripper?
Not he himself but I did do a video on his victims 👍
My family tree was traced back to the battle . By my brother
Best case scenario, you lose your leg, if not you die
Another crazy part of this battle is that even after it was over and the English had slaughtered so many French in the mud the French still vastly overwhelmed the English and probably could have still overwhelmed them if they had the leadership and organization and will to do so. Which is why Henry V had so many French prisoners killed and even high ranking and ransom worthy French prisoners. He was scared of the French re-attacking and/or a POW uprising. He may of held more prisoners at one point than he had men.
"Those English arrows wouldn't have pierced the French plate armor..." Maybe not but their horses werent so protected.
This battle always struck me as it seems more like a Hillsborough style crush disaster, in armor, than a traditional battle. You probably could have put a fence instead of an army in front of the French and you would of had the same effect.
Those damn anti cavalry spikes were like mythical super weapons. Bannockburn, Agincourt... It makes you wonder why everyone didnt use them when apparently you could be outnumbered 10-1 against mounted knights but throw a few stakes in the ground and you have the advantage?
Not to be a smart ass but Ive always heard that Henry V both demanded absolute silence from his men the night nefore Agincourt but that he also walked amongst the men and joined in their conversation. Which is it?
If Henry V had ended up outliving his counterpart would he have actually gained the French throne in practice and not just in name?
Yes he would.
@Ben-zr4ho The only way for Henry to be crowned was by conquest as the law wasn't on his side. After the succession of 1328, the agnatic succession/salic law (by male line only) was applied so in 1420, Charles 6 legal heir was his 5th son (the 1st and 2nd died very young, the 3rd died in 1415 and the 4th in 1417) aka the future Chalres 7 then Charles 6 3 nephews (two of them were prisonners since Azincourt and the 3rd one died few months after the treaty of Troyes). Even with the cognatic succession (by male or female line but only male could ruled), Henry 5 married Charles 6 youngest daughter (Catherine of Valois) who had 2 older sisters alive (the 1st one was duchess of Brittany with 3 sons and the 2nd one was duchess of burgundy) so Henry 5 and Henry 6 will be below the duke of britanny (and his 3 sons) and the duke of burgundy (with his potential sons) in the line of succession. The treaty of Troyes was later broken because the king of france couldn't changed the laws of succession (which was already the salic law) and because Charles 6 was already mad since 1392 (Henry 6 will later share this madness with his maternal grandfather).
Great program
Did the Natives fight on foot, or horse?
A mixture of both I believe
John of Gaunt's coat of arms seems to have been painted onto his portrait as an afterthought, poorly.
He got her in the end
I've often wondered about that! Thank you for explaining it and sharing it with us!!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
