Ok, so was this basically a time of unparalleled peace for the rest of the Warhammer world? Cause it seems like literally every evil bastard in the world was busy having a go at Bretonnia during that one period in particular.
I guess they were just a lot of assorted threats, but all those threats werent that huge. Like a single norscan raiding fleet, an undead incursion, an orc horde and beastmen warherd but not in the numbers like they had for example in End Times.
VladTutushkin I’m pretty sure the orcs were at full strength and easily in numbers such as during the end times. Most of the great battles were against the orcs, and it we can believe a bit the stories.... well. It must been atleast a enormous orc waaagh. Or several. For the norscans, true, a single fleet capable of besieging a huge city with enormous naval defenses.... it must been sizable. Atleast. For the undead and beast men, the two together, without even speaking for the tomb kings that went from the south...
@@firstcaptainvaleriusrensor463 also, that norscan invasion sounds a lot like the great heathen army so..we are talking about numbers that conqueredthe entirety of England
@@Iruka1991 Estimates, while obviously non-conclusive, put the 'great' heathen army at a few thousand warriors at most. Also, they didnt conquer the entirety of England. But sure, the analog may be correct
I think Sigmar basically smacked around everything by around this time so they probably all decided to go after Bretonnia instead. They never would have guessed the power simping knights can bring to bare though!
Thank the Lady for this video, for reminding me of my vow. I was on the verge of succumbing to corruption and abandoning my current Bretonnia campaign. The Bretonni infantry may not be great and route as soon as the fighting starts. So what? They still do their best to support the knights, to protect their homes, to protect Bretonnia! FOR ZE LADY
It's just like what Merlin says, *You must find faith in the noble heart. It is not in the armor that you wear but within yourself.* *You have passed another test, Knight of Bretonnia, you are worthy to seek the Grail.*
This is the complete Bretonnia Lore video. This episode contains 2 already released videos made into one sngle piece of content. I can't wait to be back home to make some more new stuff for the channel. Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy this video.!
The most epic thing I would like to see animated is Marcus fighting that Norse leader on top of the tower. Can you just imagine the epicness in that fight scene?
42:33 fun fact, Denmark has a similar legend, we have a giant statue of a Danish warrior called Holger Danske and it's said that in Denmark's darkest hour Holger Danske will come alive to defend Denmark from all her enemies
there is something quite satisfying as seeing so many french-sounding name on a map, especially when one of your childhood favorite topic was about unwavering blue knights.
@@MrVlad12340 lol the end time is such bad writing, example makaith is the true Phoenix king the elven god just testing him, they forgot major character in the story
@@noisegavot9473 yeah I heard about that. Would be so badass if Bretonnia came back by means of Louen rising out of a lake as some sort of chivalry avatar, and reunites humans under the code of chivalry.
They’re a bunch of Cavemen. Face it. They needed a miracle to save themselves since they were not strong enough to do it themselves. Now against the “Great Teeming Hordes Of Rats!” I don’t think they can win a fight in the long run. But hey everyone have what they like. I just like my rats.
@@PandaWolf525 same with the tribes of Sigmar .... On the other side, they resisted better than the empire to a massive invasion of the skavens. They weren’t reduced to two cities, and the y acknowledge the existence of skavens. Unlike the empire
Sire, the Duke of Courronne in Bretonnia calls for aid. Beastmen have laid siege to his city again. They are largely outnumbered. Will the Empire answer?
So how does it sound to not have any social mobility, to be illiterate for your entire life, not being able to worship any religion in public, to pay back to the noble 90% of what you earn, have your children abducted if they show that are capable of magic (and the boys never return) and so on and on, then Bretonnia is the perfect place for you if you're a lowborn.
@@ganerdeneuurtsaih9953 I know, Bretonnia is such a shit hole if you switch perspective from noble to lowborn. If I'm not wrong in the lore the Empire tried a few times to instigate revolts against the nobility but the problem was that the nobility cracks down so much on peasants that they are not able to organize. At least in Kislev it makes sense why they are a little bit harsher considering that the kingdom needs to be as stable as possible to be able to fight all the chaos invasions. Even The Empire is more chill where as long as you're not a chaos worshiper or suspected to be one you are pretty much alright.
@@bogdan3386 the empire is also a lot easier to move up in social heirarchies. You can become a noble as long as you show courage and have tje accolades to back up your new status.
*The Bretonnians arrived at the siege of Brionne and they charged again and again.* *Lord of the Rings Rohirrim moment, Bretonnian style.* My, we need to see a Bretonnian movie. I can kind of picture all of this but we NEED an animated or live action movie or both!!
Just started playing Total War but I dont have any background on the Warhammer universe. Your videos really help a lot to get me into it and make my games more immersive. Thank you. Watching your videos in between and after work to get really caught up into the lore.
Gun-Slinger Swordsman what I don’t get is why they didn’t try making them fight each other. Green skins hate skaven just let them fight each other while you deal with the beast men lol. I guess it was a long time ago maybe they didn’t know
@@balance1619 they most likely didnt know and also Bretonnian knigts are a bit on... well... dumber side. Think of them as school football team, look great, really strong but also have a brain of a hamster and unable to strategize outside of their rigid understanding of combat.
@@MrVlad12340 It's not like they could just wait for the attackers to fuck each other up since none of them are actually doing it. It's almost as if the authors made them put their differences aside to gang rape Bretonnia just so they can show how much of a badass Gilles is
Amazing video as always. Puts together the whole founding of Bretonnia in one combustive episode. You guys really nailed the heroism of Gilles and his Companions. You guys got to do the Crusades into Araby next.
I really hope more Bretonnian content is on the way, as this is without doubt one of my favourite videos covering Bretonnia's often overlooked lore. Truly remarkable. :)
The dragon frechy let Breton killed was green. They describe the cloak he had made of its scales. The Knights of Bretonia trilogy describes it in detail. Furthermore he totally became the green knight.
Rather late with this but the dragon was red. The armybook describes it as such and these are canon. Many books made mistakes like that and GW had stated several times that only info in the armybooks and some White Dwarfs are canon.
@@visitingforgefather5997 Oh there are quite a few. GW and canon consistencies are a problem. I was an undead player back in the hero hammer days. Nagash got retconned horribly.
@@mikewaterfield3599 Yeah they sure mess up quite a few times. I was a dwarf player, got big into the lore and such. To this day one of my biggest bugbear (among many) was them messing up the name of the Ancestor God of runecraft Thungni ever since 6the edition I think they kept referring to him as Morgrim, who is the Ancestor God of engineering . Even in Total War Warhammer they still messed it up despite him getting referenced in it. I openly admit this is me getting annoyed by small stuff since there are SO many worse mistakes they made. The constant retconning of the origins of the Slayers is almost hilarious.
Divinity in the WH mythos seems to have few Holy by nature types of entities and more Gods that are good at War which makes sense but in the paragon of Gods intervening it’s a little lopsided especially given how many Chaos gods are in play. Like the deck is stacked against the forces of good in their reality. Edit: maybe an Old One took the form of the Lady to give Men a fighting chance?
This is an absolutely INCREDIBLE documentary sir! I have been in the hobby for over 20years and have to say that I am ready for Fantasy to come back!! Love your videos sir, SUBBED, BELL DINGED.
by the Lady of the Lake and Lich King, this has to be the most magnificent well writing story I ever read/heard, tear starting forms on my eyes on the twelfth battle where the Campione surrounding those savage beast, the green-skin and the stinking vermin from all sides, but the Campiones did not fear but it not ease my worry the kept dwelling in my heart. Each word pass, when the twelfth Battles starting to reach it Climax, I burst down in Tear and grasp my hands tightly listen closely to the end how Campione's come out victorious!!!! Then my heart sunk when Gilles weres struck down by the arrow by an unknown assassin and cried in grieve and joy when I read Gilles's final last words. I don't know how to describe when my emotion become swelling around in my heart, this is kinds of a story I've always wanted to read, and thank you posting this one.
I would love to see a video about lore of the game Mordheim: city of the damned... much lore to talk about there, especially the different factions you can choose
If you condone disguised slavery I guess Bretonnia is a fine place to live in, presuming there are no threats looming in the neighborhood. The alternate option would be living/dying in a place with no hope and overrun by the forces of Chaos, Beastmen, Greenskins and Skaven.
@@MrVlad12340 Of course, I meant the alternate option of living in the same lands but without the nobles to protect them. And yes, the Empire is by far a better a place, that´s however still shitty. All in all ... I wouldn´t want to live anywhere in that world.
@@AurioDK Honestly I'd rather be a vampire with my own remote kingdom and undead army. I'd try to protect my people and provide a decent quality of living in exchange for volunteers to donate blood for my court, like only a pint at a time once a month, nothing that would tax them unnecessarily. *Yes I know this is basically what Ushoran did and he got taken down but I'd at least pay tribute and lip service to Neferata to avoid that happening to me.
@@chrisdupuis2523 The whole vampire concept is a bit screwed up in most books and tv shows. Humanity has since the dawn of science been searching for immortality, if vampires were real there would be thousands if not millions in line to donate blood for a remote chance to become immortal, vampires would not go hungry to bed, that´s for sure. Even in modern times people get their heads/bodies frozen in cryo containers, no, vampires would be worth their weight in antimatter. Unless the vampire is an outright psycho there would be no reason to kill people and turn them into vampires, in fact a vampire´s worth would be measured in their numbers, the more vampires the less worth they are. They should always fear the religious fanatics though :).
I just want to say thank you for this video. This is without a doubt the most epic story of Warhammer lore I've heard. I grew up on the stories of Arthur Pendragon & the Knights of Camelot so this video hits home real deeply for me. I enjoyed every minute of this so much. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing the Oldhammer universe to life for us! Much love!
Exactly. Their cavemen. Only a miracle saved them because they can’t do it themselves because of their “honor”. Learn to use a gun boys. It helps a lot.
@@yeeyee5057 they cant get close if you blast them with organ guns, bombards from gyrocopters and flame throwers. Learn the way of black powder and steam, it helps.
Man this must be an alternate reality where goblins on wolves can actually go toe to toe with grail knights. Or any kind of knights whatsoever... Lol Great content I know I’m late but amazing lore video.
This got me wanting to play Bretonnia in TWW2. I started a campaign and was doing alright. An undead army attacked one of my towns and I managed to wipe the entire army out losing only about 50 of my garrison force. Then the single Vampire lord proceeded to kill over 200 of my guys on his own, broke my army and won the battle. I decided then I'd go back to my Elves..
@@TheBookofChoyer the voice, the emotion I can hear. I just now watched the Karl Franz video and it gave me goosebumps! I have now watched all of your lore videos and have subscribed. The first one I watched was about the Skaven I think and that part with the rain and the bells oh man. I felt like watching a horror movie. You certainly did an awesome job. You are very talented. Keep up the good work and good luck.
I am not sure if it jas been said. Apparently the basis of an entire government can be formed of watery tart throwing a sword at you. Or in this case a Chalice.
For one hand i like technology and gunz, on the other one "never underestimate the full power of a cavalry charge".

Gilles is basically King Arthur.

The peasants are the masters of trebs and longbows, which is perfectly fine as they don't count as actual people.

23:37 Typo: "The first Grail Knight was not meant to survive that night." (It is written "that knight" instead of "that night")
thank you ! ✅
@@TheBookofChoyer My pleasure, I really like your content.
I just want to say thank you for this video.
This is without a doubt the most epic story of Warhammer lore I've heard. I grew up on the stories of Arthur Pendragon & the Knights of Camelot so this video hits home real deeply for me. I enjoyed every minute of this so much. Thank you for all your hard work in bringing the Oldhammer universe to life for us!
Much love!
I'm glad to hear this Keoni. Thanks for your words my friend! Hope you enjoy the rest of the availale content and the episodes to come. Cheers! 😃🙌
Watching this gave me goosebumps all the way. If I was in the warhammer universe, I'd pledge my alligence to The Lady.
I know this is supposed to be a serious lore video but at 28:05 I watched a goblin get tossed into a tree. I can't stop laughing
If goblinslayer was in warhammer he definitely would joined the grail knights cause they really love to kill goblins.
For some reason I see him being more of an Empire mercenary or traveling sellsword that has a particular disdain for the gobos.
We need Netflix to adopt this to a series!! This will put GOT to shame!
Take a shot every time the number of enemies slain was uncountable.
I've watched a few videos and I'll be honest, you're like the Fantasy version of Luetin! Awesome!
What a shame End times showed the lady was a elven godess who needed souls for the next world.
We ignore that
Thank you, Ben Shapiro’s wet pussy, for clearing that up.
Such a great and well produced video. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enojyed it🙌
Unironically, this is the quality content that I subscribed for.
Too good content !!! Love that.
How can you zoom so far on the units, what are the settings and mods ?
Your videos are of an incredible quality and entertaining value , thanks for putting the time in them
Great full video The Book of Choyer.
Lovely content, only real criticism is the cinematics at times went on a bit too long, had to skip forward. Other than that it's cool
5:50 gives me chills
Moral of the story: Don't f'ck with heavy cavalry.
There needs to be a movie of this
Wait... MFers had 160 years to come up with proper defenses and still didnt?
Don’t need them Chief we got a sexy bitch in a lake
everyone has been dragging their feet for the last century when it comes to climate change, sooo not particularily unbelievable? :D
Exactly. Their cavemen. Only a miracle saved them because they can’t do it themselves because of their “honor”.
Learn to use a gun boys. It helps a lot.
@@PandaWolf525 only until the orcs reach your lines and slaughter your pitiful gunmen.
Learn how to swordfight coward, it helps alot
@@yeeyee5057 they cant get close if you blast them with organ guns, bombards from gyrocopters and flame throwers. Learn the way of black powder and steam, it helps.
Man this must be an alternate reality where goblins on wolves can actually go toe to toe with grail knights. Or any kind of knights whatsoever... Lol Great content I know I’m late but amazing lore video.
10/10 the best stories ever told
This got me wanting to play Bretonnia in TWW2. I started a campaign and was doing alright. An undead army attacked one of my towns and I managed to wipe the entire army out losing only about 50 of my garrison force. Then the single Vampire lord proceeded to kill over 200 of my guys on his own, broke my army and won the battle.
I decided then I'd go back to my Elves..
Enjoyed this thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great weekend!
Bretonnia is freaking awesome!
So foundation of this empire is many heroic battles won by very high quality troop
37:01 When the GM having enough of this one sided campaign rolls up his or her sleeves to finally challenge the party...
this video is a combination of video 45 & 44 if you've already watched them both (and don't want to watch them again) you can safely skip it.
Grail Knights against goblin spearman is a little bit overkill, but I'll allow it.
that was like something out of lord of the rings bloody brilliant!!!!!
this video got me hooked on this channel like a slave.
After they got Lady blessing only one song come to mind "When the winged Hussars arrived!"
You mean Kislev
This is amazing Content you guys are awesome!
Thanks a lot for your words ! 😃🙏
What an amazing video! Hopefully Bretonnia gets some more love in TW:W, as well as being included in Age of Sigmar.
Age of sigmar just seems so dull and heatless.
Awesome videos. Simply amazing. This is how it's done. I am not interested in the lore that much but man do I enjoy watching these videos.
Thank you! Really appreciate your words brother. 🙂
@@TheBookofChoyer the voice, the emotion I can hear. I just now watched the Karl Franz video and it gave me goosebumps! I have now watched all of your lore videos and have subscribed. The first one I watched was about the Skaven I think and that part with the rain and the bells oh man. I felt like watching a horror movie. You certainly did an awesome job. You are very talented. Keep up the good work and good luck.
"brettonians outnumbered 15 to 1" cycle charging op
a good spell would be the bolt of Gille, like a variation of the Amber spear
I am not sure if it jas been said. Apparently the basis of an entire government can be formed of watery tart throwing a sword at you. Or in this case a Chalice.
Follow your training, will make you come back alive.
Holy shit this was well made/done!!
Awesome content! Thank you!!!
I wish there was a Bretonnian in vermintide
You are the lady's men and no beast will stop you!!!
For the lady!!!!
For Bretonnia!!!!
Are you sure this isn't a real story somewhere because if it's not it should be
