When will part 2 come out?
@@emmanuelfernandez04 About a week.
@@HistoryMarche I'm gonna take a quick shower, and than come out to watch your vids. Keep going. Hope you reach 5 million subscribers someday. Can you btw focus on some battles in Southeast Asia? It would pretty nice if you gave that region a bit love.
Brilliant as always. May I ask the song at the end of the video?
@@HistoryMarche Ok Thank You and Merry Christmas
Interesting invasion of Normandy. I am wondering if it will happen again after 529 years🤔

It is a good day when historymarche uploads
The opening of this one is impressive; the soundtrack combined with the seagulls...
Nice, HistoryMarche. Very nice
Thank you very much :)
I am forcing myself to wait until I can watch part 2 at the same time..... too hard!

We always hear about Agincourt never Harfleur, Never knew the battle was this intense, Thank you very much History Marche, An excellent job as always. 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Harfleur doesn't fit into the Shakespearean epos, a few French repelling a large Anglo-Welsh army with canons for a month while inflicting many casualties. Had the French Ost completely avoid the battle, this expedition would have been a complete failure.
Who would've guessed that Henry V would've have to deal with such a difficult siege prior to his legendary victory at the battle of Agincourt. Great video. I enjoyed it. Can't wait for part 2.
My thoughts exactly
@@HistoryMarche---😊👍
This Henry V. guy looks talented. I wonder how his son will rule.
Offspring from this man will have god-like stats, think Genius, Diligent, Shrewd, at the very least.
@@HistoryMarche Thou art one sarcastic knave!
@@HistoryMarche Yeah, Henry should have banged an Englishwoman, not that French chick.
@@doug6500 Then will be more dumber xD ;)
This needs to be in schools. This level of animation and maps is the full engagement I would of loved as a kid.
With our NUT Marxists - no chance!
Love the story of Henry V, can't wait to see Part 2. It's amazing he won those battles, despite his short reign he truly had great military success. You should incorporate some quotes and fun things from Henriad (the Shakespeare play on Henry V). Thanks again for all the hard work on these videos, you're better than 'on air' historical shows!
Man, that opening 20 seconds of the video was bone-chilling... with the music and all... it suddenly got real quiet in the room lol. like, "oh shit, it's about to go down".
As a French person, this is giving me PTSD.
haha
you always lost to the brits in the big battles and in 2 world wars the brits came to save you from germany.
@@alfonsopenacolv7721 Only to have both of them saved by 'Merica.
I am a big fan of History and in ww1 I personly think the Americans didn’t do much because the brits and french had a block and where basically the Germans would die of famine and give up.. ww2 the Americans basically saved the day but took to Much credit because the Russians did a lot .
@@pigman6420 don’t forget after Stalingrad the Russian mass mobility relied on transport trucks sent from America as most of Russias vehicle production was focused on the excellent T34
This brings me way back when I just subbed to the channel I still remember your videos from then which also took place during the 100 Years War. Those were your very first videos
Indeed, Poitiers was my first video. Back to the roots! :D
I like how the notes in the beginning sets a tone letting you know things are not going to end well.
I respect king Henry V for his strongest will😍
god damn it's like 3-4 uploads from HistoryMarche and Kings and generals in 1-2 days. Christmas is early !
You're not the only one! Cheers!
This is probably one of the best history videos I have watched, love the way you moved the forces so it gave us a real insight on what went on.
What I especially love with this channel is that you always put a battle in the historical context. I seen and read many sources about the battle of Agincourt. But none has explained WHAT happened prior to the battle. learning about the siege of Harfleur gives a deeper understanding of the events that would follow! Big thumbs up 👍
You are currently my favorite channel to watch. I've read and learned about warfare for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of studying a battlefield map from the American Civil War and imagining different ways the fight could have played out
History Marche and Kings and Generals videos in one day,,,,
What a joy!!
As usual, wonderful production. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Just finished the book Azincourt by Bernard Cornwell, this really helped piece it all together and bring it to life!
Great book.
I’ve read the warlord chronicles and Saxon chronicles by Bernard Cornwall, they’re fantastic and he’s a great writer. Had no idea he wrote one about Agincourt, need to check it out.
i am reading it right now. It's a great book so far.
I love your work, the time and details you guys put in each video is breathtaking. This was another amazing video and you guys have redefined how history should be taught. Thank you for the epic videos you guys make for us. Much love to all of you.
Thank you so much!
A great Christmas Gift, 2020 is truly a spectacle to behold.
Fantastic video guys
Kinda weird no one has made a video on this battle before tho considering how well documented it was
Thank you sir.
2 videos in one week!!!! Phenomenal!!!!! THANK YOU HistoryMarche
Just watched “The King” yesterday. I was disappointed. I know this one won’t let me down
The siege in that movie was almost a nothing... No siege guns, no mining, minimalistic...
Great when historymarche uploads another well researched topic....you just know it’s going to be good.
Just finished the Kings &Generals video and you uploaded too.Great day so far.
Réside Kings and generals this Chanel is the best history chanel
I love the video, I’m learning this at school next term so this will be so helpful
man i'm loving the more frequent uploads.
Excellent video!
This video is a great surprise as I didn't know new video will come out this fast just 2 days after previous one!!!👍🏻👍🏻Great video as always History Marche!❤️❤️❤️
Great documentary
I love the colors on this one! So vivid!
The counter offer he received in return i think was still astonishing, he should have taken it
great job !
Want to watch this straightaway but I have to save it for my workout later. Can't wait!
What a great series. Good work
that moment when HistoryMarche and K&G posted in the same day ...so preciooussss !
Hey Dan. Armchair also has a new video.
Too nice historic video with clear explaining of events occurring at that time thanks for sending
Wow! That opening was brilliant!

Thx for all of hard working and have a peaceful day
wonderfully done; thank you.
Loved the video
You guys are the best!
great video as always
Fantastic work again! Love the map and the animations. The quality is getting better and better (it was always the best). This is truly quality and professional work. Keep up good work! gg
Az új V. Henrik filmben az ostrom ez lenne, de mint látni, köze sincs annak a valósághoz... Abban a filmben az ostrom minimalista, és pontatlan is. Egyáltalán nem látni lőporos fegyvereket benne...

Waited a long time for this, Great vid.
I always get excited when history March uploads.
Perfect video as always ,keep up the good work
Thank you so much 😀
One of the best channels on youtube!
@HistoryMarche. Fantastic video as always HM and a much needed quality distraction in these times. Keep up the good work guys and have a safe and Merry Christmas.
Much appreciated!
Every time I watch a scene of a french yelling at the english from a high wall I can only think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
As you should.
I love your channel. Wish I had THIS in history class back in my day.
I really waited for this vid to come up since i watched The King on Netflix, thumbs up for the nice work you put in.
Im confused since I remember not seeing cannons on The King.
me too, but they didn't relate the course of the campaign right, like the assault on the first castle, and like all the knight were using armor there were no light troops , only heavy and archers
The King is based on Shakespeare not history
Awesome as always
This is literally my favorite video you guys have made
Sweet! Hundred Years’ War video, I love it !
Man I love these videos, the content and the visual aides are great but the voice is by far the best.
Really enjoy your videos, amazing details, art, troop information, even giving us a reference for how much the crowns were worth. Amazing work.
Amazing map and great video. You are really one of the best history channels on UA-cam
bravo!
Nice new map style
I love your videos. Keep up with this mate ;)
Give an AWARD to this site
This visuals and the visuals of the Hannibal documentary are far better than the ones used on the Cesars civil war. Keep up the great work!
Amazing Video HM! love the way u showed France vassals
Thanks KHK. Agreed on the division of France. While I didn't mention it in the story, I wanted to hint on the map that France wasn't nearly as unified as it is today.
love the little details in all your videos, a great choice!
David is a legend my favorite speaker in all history channels the way he tells everything wow..... As for the video as expected on high lvl both with maps and animations keep it up guys ^^
Just a Perfect day when king n general n historymache upload new videos
I had a feeling you would upload today.
First time in this channel, was amazing!!
Thanks and welcome
I'm glad you landed on 900 men-at-arms and 5,000 archers. Anne Curry and her English numbers have been debunked thoroughly by Clifford J. Rogers in his article on the battle on page 57-59. The English numbers are based on the incomplete sick lists. According to her 11,248 soldiers and 614 support personnel embarked for France. 1,200 were left in Harfleur as a garrison. 1,330 were invalided home. 36 died. Therefore Henry V had 8,682 soldiers when he left for Calais. However, we do not know if those who indented met their quotas, secondly, we do not know if the pay rolls fully and accurately reflect the number of men who were invalided at Harfleur. 1,330 is way too low if they suffered from dysentery. Supposedly only 1 earl, 14 men-at-arms and 21 archers died. That's ridiculously low and can not be taken seriously.
Those 1,330 was on a list put together out of fear for desertion at the end of the siege. It does not include those who left early during the siege, neither those who deserted, or those who were too sick and stayed at Harfleur when Henry V departed.
Henry V's decision in 1417 to pay those who died meant that there was no need to keep the records of English causalities as long as they had the pay rolls.
The sources say that thousands were stricken with the bloody flux. The mortality rate among the high ranking nobles was 21.4 % with 3 out of 14 dying, and supposedly only 36 men as a total died. It doesn't make sense. 10 % dying is normal when an army is infected with dysentery. In addition to this you often have around 30 % sick. That’s at least 1,186 dead and 3,558 sick. That's 4,744 as a total and close to 5,000 mentioned by the sources. Subtract those numbers from 11,248 soldiers and 614 support and you have 7,118. Subtract a garrison of 1,200 from this and you have 5,918. Subtract most of the support, some 368 or so and around 67 men lost on the march. Add in 543 reinforcements, most of them archers. Now you have 6,026 men. That’s 5,000 archers (including carters and carpenters etc.), approximately 100 well armoured gros valets payed for by the major magnates from the own pockets and therefore not counted, 26 centenars and 900 men-at-arms (mounted lancers) present at the battle. One of only two eye witness accounts who could have known, the author of Gesta, said 5,000 archers and 900 lancers.
Anne curry’s french numbers have also been debunked, you really question how much she really cares if she can THAT wrong
Solid comment there. What are your thoughts on the numbers of French?
@@Taiko-THC349 Go to page 57 in Clifford J. Rogers' article for the French army. Take a look at the footnotes on page 59.
Her methodology is skewed. She said the latecomers: Orléans, Bourbon, Nevers and Brabant had 2,500 men together. Berry's herald have this numbers at 3,400. When we take all the late comers: Orléans 600, Bourbon 1,200, Nevers 1,200, Bar 600, Roucy & Braine 200, Brabant with probably 100 men-at-arms and around 300 men-at-arms from Hainault who put themselves under his banner, - we have a total force of 4,200, not 2,500. She's off with 1,700 on her estimates of 8,000 men-at-arms. In addition to this we have individual men-at-arms arriving under no banner - without problem 300 men-at-arms. 10,000 men-at-arms is probably correct. Berry's herald said 10,000 men-at-arms. The Chronique d’Arthur de Richemont said “a good 10,000 men-at-arms.” The Chronique Normande mentions that the French pursued the English with 10,000 men-at-arms. The chronicle of Ruisseauville said the French outnumbered the English men-at-arms by 10 to 1, making it 10,000 men-at-arms. In addition to this we have around 1,800 well armored gros valets, men Anne Curry outright ignores. She did mention 3,000 archers though, but with more men-at-arms there was also more archers and corossbowmen. Monstrelet mentioned 1,500 crossbowmen.
The total was probably:
10,000 Men-at-arms
1,800 Well armoured gros valets
8,200 Gros valets
3,000 Archers
1,500 Crossbowmen
10,000 Pages
24,500 total number of combatants
34,500 total number
However, 600 men-at-arms and 8,200 gros valets form the 3rd division didn't attack, so we are down to about 15,700 combatants participating in the battle. The archers and crossbowmen were routed after a few volleys, leaving around 1,600 dead and 600 wounded on the battlefield. The cavalry force on the wings also routed with around 800 men-at-arms. They English took around 1,600 men-at-arms as prisoners and killed about 6,600 men-at-arms. So only around 400 of the men-at-arms managed to get out of there, and these were probably well armoured men intended to be part of the cavalry force. However, they were busy with their horses in the rear when the English attacked. Most of them probably joined the 2nd division on foot. The 2nd division was made up of 3,400 low ranking men-at-arms and 1,600 well armoured gros valets. If these 400 well armoured men-at-arms joined the rear of the 2nd division, they had a free rout and would have survived the arrowstorm with few scratches because of their good quality medium carbon steel armour, whereas the rest of the men-at-arms with wrought iron and low-carbon steel plate armour didn't because of debilitating wounds which prevented them from escaping.
The English killed:
6,600 Men-at-arms
1,800 Gros valets
1,600 Archers/crossbowmen
That is a total of 8,400 well armoured men being killed, mentioned by several sources, such as Le Fèvre with 7-8,000, Waurin with 8,400 and Monstrelet with 8,400, with the two first being eye witnesses.
The total number of killed was 10,000, mentioned by Le Fèvre, Monstrelet and Waurin. The reason for why the number of gros valets are estimated to be 1,800 is because the 2nd division was as big as the 1st division and the 2nd division only had 3,400 men-at-arms. For it to be 4,800 men strong, like the 1st division, the rest, some 1,400, had to be gros valets. However, the major magnates had at least 1 well armoured gros valets with them in the 1st division to look after their banner. As a result we get a 5,000 strong 1st division. If the 2nd division was as strong as the 1st division it must have been made up of 3,400 men-at-arms and 1,600 well armoured gros valets. Now we have a total of 1,800 gros valets. In other words, it was hard to distinguish dead low ranking men-at-arms from well armoured gros valets. In addition to this, many of the gros valets were in fact from the nobility, but they were poor and took the role as a servant instead. They were often the 2nd or 3rd son of poor esquires. There are not necessary clear lines here, and we see it in the estimates of Le Fèvre.
My estimate is about 200 major magnates, 600 bannerets, 1,000 knight bachelors, 4800 esquires, 3400 poor esquires, 900 well armoured noble gros valets and 900 well armoured gros valets.
