THE BATTLE OF LEGNANO (1176 AD) - Medieval Kingdoms Total War 1212AD

The Battle of Legnano was a battle between the imperial army of Frederick Barbarossa and the troops of the Lombard League on May 29, 1176, near the town of Legnano in present-day Lombardy, in Italy. Although the presence of the enemy nearby was already known to both sides, they suddenly met without having time to plan any strategy.

As an italian and a medieval history fan, i'd like to thank you deeply for doing this. The battle of Legnano is a mythological moment of italian history, still surrounded by an aura of legend. My city fought alongside Barbarossa against Milan, and to thank it for its service, the Emperor raised us new city walls, that are still standing to this day.
Most people don't notice the traces that History leaves for us, but when i walked along these walls on my way to school, i could not help but meditate about their history, that silently, they are still telling.

[@Luca-5382]

Yes you pronounced "legnano" in the correct way 🇮🇹

[@ciarro94]

nope mate he said "lignano" instead of "legnano" with the english pronunciation of "e". quite close btw

[@ksamuel9]

@@ciarro94 at least he didnt say "leg-nawno"

[@ivanpavani6176]

I am from Legnano and I really enjoyed this video, every year we make the reconstruction of the battle, is an heritage we are very proud of

[@gabrielboi3465]

its very sad that the area is so urbanized that is impossible to locate the exact point of the battle, cheers from como

[@rolandhaekachandradewa_3144]

I think this battle feel really immersive because almost every unit from both side is from same tier, sometime in 1212 ad battle there huge different in unit tier. Its nice to see every unit in same tier

[@martingrof1685]

Agreed

[@pag-op7wi]

Not sure if already mentioned in the comments, but little historical context for the Company of Death. They were allegedly a band of 900 young Italian knights who took a solemn oath to die (if need be) on the field of battle defending the Carroccio of the Lombard League, led by the legendary Italian warrior Alberto da Giussano. However historical studies and modern historians/scholars now believe that both Alberto and the Company of Death, didn’t exist.

[@guidoferri8683]

Pronunciation of Legnano: 💯
Pronunciation of Carroccio: not even close 😂

[@TheSeanoops]

I am continuously impressed at the accuracy of the weapons and armour in this game. Seriously, they even got the falchions that the lower class troops were carrying right!

[@lucasavelli2945]

"From the Alps to Sicily, Legnano is everywhere" from the Italian national anthem🇮🇹

[@lucascacchioli5576]

Having watched your other historical battles videos, it's great to see one about my country. Thanks Apollo

[@gameplaysdocu4792]

Always a pleasure to see 1212 ad here. I've never been the kind of guy who comments to compliment the content creator but this time I'm doing cause you deserve it. I've been around for quite some time and your videos are my daily distraction, feels like we're chatting while watching the battle and I can pretend I have a history nerd friend who like Total War when I'm here. Keep it up King

[@danielwiese495]

More 1212 please! Also well done with finishing the norman campaighn. I am playing it at hard dificupty, and cannot get passed the siege of Wilchencere

[@brendenstyre4784]

Currently working on a 3v4 battle of Agincourt scenario I’m hoping to get some players to help me test it today or tmr. I’ve spent a lot of time and research in the army comps and it’s gonna be awesome

[@franciscomoutinho4390]

2 years later, how'd you think it turned out?

[@giorgiociaravolol1998]

Did you know? In Milan, after the victory, a new wall was built. The main gate, Porta Romana, had engraved Barbarossa's wife shaving her pube just to mock the emperor. Although the gate and walls were destroyed centuries later for city works, the engraved stone still exists.

[@Lord8976]

I like when players takes units from only one period. It makes the Battles way more interesting in term of visuel

[@TheBavarianGal]

Real real fun historical battles.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

Frederick Barbarossa: I am the Holy Roman Emperor!
Lombardy: Who doesn't even own Rome, you great big phony!

[@loods2215]

FINALLY! I've been waiting ages for this one 🇮🇹

[@aryanrana5436]

Dude really enjoying Medival Kingdom battles pls do more. Great job bud 👌👌.

[@MooseSQ]

"Whats up knights of apollo" Never gets old

[@AfaqueAhmed_]

As soon as I saw Milan had a backup flanking the Roman Empire , I figured the Holy Romans were very dead .

[@chesterzimmerman7752]

I'm glad to see 1212 ad return to the channel it's my favorite mod for any total war

[@lgerman1698]

I really enjoy the holy Roman empire. One of my favorite factions in this game. 🇩🇪

[@joezhangmd]

Death company reminds me of the blood angels from Warhammer 40k

[@giulianoilfilosofo7927]

That is because the Blood Angels are largely inspired to Italian civilization, Dante, Furioso etc...

[@inquisition4705]

6 years watching and not missing a video

Please do a guide on How to Play Total War battles online. That will included where to find opponents in which forums or communities we have to search. There isnt any guide or video that could explain thorough

[@kmorton54]

Wow that was an epic battle. It's what Medieval Total War III would look like if CA ever got off the ass to develop this game

[@andreascovano7742]

Did you see the Death Company Unit Apollo? It's really cool and unique to Milan

[@c4nnon_fodd3r]

Love you video mate. How do you find your multiplayer battles with 1212? I can’t seem to find any..

[@TheBavarianGal]

I remember this from the stream.

[@Nonamearisto]

It's weird how the Germanic "empire" had the name of the Romans, but the non-Germanic "Lombards" from Italy had a Germanic name.

[@iamquack222]

Nice, a new Apollo vid!

[@Chosen_Ash]

At first I thought that said Leningrad

[@robert_i.nastase]

I am very curious! How many people watching that early? I mean before an hour🕑🐖🕑

[@joudtaghi9974]

Why don't you play with the ottoman empire

[@pizzacutter5469]

Most of the time, isn’t him playing.

[@Jarttroz]

this is awesome

[@christianhaegler4817]

Barbarossa somehow got lost in the battle and still survived and turned up at his own lines a couple days later.
Our most glorious Emperor and founder of our most glorious but short line of Emperors. Those Habsburgs and Hohenzollerns were nothing but posers.
