wow thanks so much for making this, I never knew about this battle and how it caused the 80 years' war. Such an interesting story. I still remember when you had under 1000 subs and were recording in your room in the netherlands and now you have animated battles and all that
Thanks for the nice comment! The channel has certainly come incredibly far, mainly thanks to continued support and encouragement by people like yourself. It is much appreciated - and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon creating videos like this.
I love the new format but I hope you don't abandon your old type of videos about biographies and curious historical facts. Still it's great you are covering battles and campaigns that no else did yet. Hope someday you talk about the "Auspicious incidente" that was the massacre of the janissaries in the Ottoman Empire 🧐
Thank you for the feedback. Right now I am still experimenting with types of videos. Once I become comfortable with animation (which has improved a lot the past months, if I say so myself) I will have more time on my hands to explore biographies and interesting stories. Right now I am working on a 'biography' video of King Mithridates of Pontus. It will be packaged in multiple battle videos, detailing all three Mithridatic wars. A best of both worlds, if you will. 😉
For a complete series on the 80 years war, check out the Channel "Defragged History" The series is still ongoing and is already 12 episodes long, each more than 1 hour :) It is very detailed and absolutely amazing :)

Good videos bro keep up the great work but u should make a series on the campaigns of Frederich the Great and also make a series on the civil war between Marius and Sulla
Thanks! I am currently working on a video on the Mithridatic Wars between Sulla and King Mithridates. Marius features in it as well, though not in a lead role.
Amazing to see such detailed information on the start of the 80 years war! i have been researching in Heiligerlee, Daalen and other early battles. Care to share any historical sources?
Great video. It made my day. Hope you will do more videos on the Dutch revolt. Maybe you can talk about the Dutch contributions to the defeat of the Spanish Armadas (it always gets told from the English perspective)
altho this is seen as a great victory for the dutch,the battle of Jemmingen was an utter massive humilihation with the dutch losing over 5,000 men and the spanish said to lose less then 500
@Guan Van Der Put Yep,yea that's accurate,William of orange in reality was more of an administrator,he wasen't very competent at fighting and lost to alba,Maurice indeed was very good,he was competent,had oversight,united the provinces,and rose the house of Nassa oranj to prominence,the main thing willem had was money,that's all he truely needed,and the spanish had a ton of enemies giving the dutch a massive advantage with the spanish fighting the english,ottomans,french,and a ton more,the dutch got lucky and under maurice,they got good.
11:22 The casual remark about executions, doesn't quite express the impact of this. At that time, there was no equality. Nobles were above other people, kings ruled appointed directly by God. Killing a commoner, well, a commoner is dead. If a noble did it, it would maybe be subject for gossip. But killing a noble....Unacceptable, by sanction of every other noble in Europe. Nobles who correctly understood that if titles meant nothing, everybody was at risk. This is why the Spanish murder of the Counts of Egmond and Horne shook public opinion more than whole villages being exterminated. Killing a few commoners was harsh, murdering a noble, even without a scam trial where they got a chance to repent and pay a bribe or go in exile, now THAT was an outrage. So these Spanish executions would've been viewed as exceedingly harsh and scandalous, and while causing lots of intimidation, cause even devout catholic nobles to think 'Hang on, if we're randomly killing nobles, who guarantes my family isn't next? Hmm.. I should consider supporting these Dutch, heretics as though they may be'.
Thank you for your sharing this historical video. I would like to share a positive thought. Soon the fulfillment of Isaiah 2:4 will take place: "He will render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore." We will enjoy absolute peace, for all the tragical events will be forgotten, according to Isaiah 65:17: "For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart." And there is more...
Unfortunately you are right. I seem to have mixed up the final sound files of my video, which led to my narration of the battle being lower than intended. Hopefully the subtitles help out at the parts where it is a little bit unclear. I will make sure it will not happen again.
@@thehaus6998 I have a few more videos planned about battles of the Dutch revolt. I still have to research & write them, but they are on the to-do list for the short term.😄
To this day, I fail to understand why the Low Countries were given to Spain instead of Austria by Charles V. Austria was closer not only geographically, but also culturally to them than Spain and, well, both were part of the HRE while Spain wasn't!!
It(belgium)was later given to Austria after the war of Spanish succession..the Austrian tried many times to give it to France but the brits wouldn't allow it. Charles V kept it for his line because it was the richest, most prosperous part of his territories. It was a mistake as his heirs fumbled the bag
In general, Good video, but is 25% objetive( not the battle part). Hi from Spain. Duque de Alba killed 2 nobles after battle, because one rebel pow confess that Nobles tried to kill duque de alba few months ago, but they failed, and The same nobles (were in prision for rebelions shaker while Heiligerlee battle was happening). Sorry for my english!

Your visuals have really been improving over these last few videos.
Thanks for noticing!
Really like the mix of maps and you. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them!
This battle was sure interesting. Nice video.
Hai, are you from The Netherlands? Your pronunciation of Dutch cities and names are remarkably good.
How about a whole series on the 80 years war?

Actually it is Alba, with "B"
In the Netherlands it's traditionally spelled "Alva".
Don't ask me why. It's just the way it is.
Finally, i learn from my own ancestor's history (nowadays Belgium's Flanders and Brabant included). Excellent research
Another great video, keep it coming
My two ancestries fighting. Who am I going to root for?
so true, so human
Actually many people in the Dutch provinces remained Catholic but were coerced and forced to swear allegiance to the Calvinist rulers.
Thanks you so much ,so well presented, very good work hay !super interesting.Ive been reading a few things recently that connect to this.
Thank you for the nice comment!
great video! I had no idea i'd be so excited to learn about this.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Here is a complete series on the 80 year war. It's amazing :) ua-cam.com/video/gNcddIvip6A/v-deo.html
Super awesome content .The music made it hard to focus at some points .
Thanks for the feedback. I agree - I have increased my narration volume in the video I am uploading tomorrow. Hopefully the change is noticeable.
Excellent work Gentlemen 👍
This needs an obligatory *HET WILHELMUS*
hilbert is that you i hear?
Great video. It made my day. Hope you will do more videos on the Dutch revolt. Maybe you can talk about the Dutch contributions to the defeat of the Spanish Armadas (it always gets told from the English perspective)
Excellent video on a battle I'd never heard of. Are the battle graphics from a video game?
Nope I create everything myself!
@@HoH how that? Which program do you use?
@@aka99 A bit difficult to explain. I suggest you begin learning the basics of After Effects for starters.
I can hardly see anything because it is too dark.
Cheers

plus,under Hendrick they got stable,under his son,they got ambitious,under Willam,they got powerful,and then the decline turley happend
William is not so silent after all.
80 bloody years and such a small country. The most amazing war in world history
Why the audio is so low?
nice..but can you improve the sound ?
Yes I tried to adjust the volume in my newest video. Please let me know if that's better.

War started by a guy literally named Silent Bob.
I actually live in this small village😂
The audio volume seems super low.

Still great work and enjoyed the video!
@@lazarus2123 Thanks Nick!
heretics is pronounced -- "HAIR - uh -tics", not "her - EH- tics"
MORE,MORE,MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
About the Dutch revolt?
@@HoH yes please, actually,16-17th century history overall
@@thehaus6998 I have a few more videos planned about battles of the Dutch revolt. I still have to research & write them, but they are on the to-do list for the short term.😄
@@HoH good to know
ok
The Way you pronounce here-tics makes it sound like a medicinal cure for Constipation !🤣(Joking)
Klumpen?
Ik realiseerde me dat je Nederlandse was nadat je Heiligerlee goed kon uitspreken haha
nb
Wow, Hungarians ruled in Vienna back then??
No quite the contrary - The Kingdom of Hungary was part of the lands of the Habsburg Monarchy (which eventually became the Austrian Empire).
@@HoH Yes, indeed. I was just wonder why it is there instead Archduchy of Austria.
