When he said that one of the sides was called 'Habsburg' I was able to make an educated guess that that guy was going to win.
You are mighty clever buddy.

This is probably the most important battle in Czech/Austrian history and not many people even know it. If Rudolf didn´t win here there is a large possibility that habsburgs wouldn´t become a dominant power in central europe in the next centuries. You did a very good job in describing the battle! Also rip my homie Ottokar.
"I'm feeling quite hungry"
Líp bych to neřekl Peťo:D
Well, the only difference would be the name and capital. Quite possibly it would mean Vienna would be the medieval looking city and Prague would be the baroque looking one.
Also, Bohemia was still more powerfull than Austria till the Battle of the White mountain. Moravian march didn't change a lot.
Fucking Cumens.
As for people not knowing: i had to read "König Ottokars Glück und Ende" by Franz Grillparzer. Which is a very old theater piece that would today be called "based on historical events!" This made me look up what really happend.(in books back then) So i didn't learn it detailed in History but in my german language class.
Too chivalrous to allow infantry alongside your knights, but not too chivalrous to have other knights hiding in the forest like bandits. Oh Habsburgs.
Dayvit78 Gotta love medieval hypocrisy.
Why not? Infantry is slow compared to cavalry. If you want to keep that advantage infantry might be a liability. Back then, infantry was also less well trained. Someone had to guard the camp (which is a bit easier than attacking thousands of trained knights). When facing trained knights they would face horrible casualties.
The Habsburgs are the biggest joke in European history lol

It would have been an interesting world, with Premysl dynasty, not the Habsburg one, becoming the political leaders. Note that Charles IV, who turned Prague into beautiful political and educational centre of the Empire was half Premysl himself. Reformation would have come much sooner I think.
@@petrmaly9087 Well, Habsburgs have Premyslid blood, thanks to marriges.
Same, I was like "Yeah Ottokar, kick Rudolph's ass, this is your fucking game" and then when the routing began everything came crashing down. Even before they showed the icon, I knew Ottokar wasn't making it out alive.
Ottokar is every CK2 ruler I ever played, getting rid of old wifes and taking his enemies granddaughter xD
And then the new kaiser wanted to revoke his titles, forcing him in a war against the tyranny of the kaiser and got killed in battle. Classic CK2 :D
Get him self killed during a battle that you were soundly winning so you lose a war and now have to play a child
very accurate
What an irony. They elected a "weak" emperor and surprisingly it back fired and maybe end up even worse. That's what I call karma.
@fug :D oh we don't talk about that other guy...
To be honest since the death of Charlemagne every single german emperor has been weak to some degree (even the most powerful of them all, Charles Quint, still had troubles managing the whole thing despite being the ruler of half of Europe, there was never something equivalent to the absolutism you could find in France or Russia where the regime was centralized).
The goal of the structure was more to keep a balance between duchies and little kingdoms in central Europe and occasionally contain a neighbor (mostly France). In the meantime by the late 1400s England and France were already done with this feudal organization and had created the proto-modern state.
France slowly ate the HRE for 1000 years (beginning after Charlemagne), only after Napoléon disbanded the HRE the germans (under prussian banner) finally unified and completely reverse the military dynamic with the french but by that time Europe was already in decline and Russia/USA were on the rise.
this have actually happened many times throughout history and it was how Putin got to power
@@Okxyd Didn't the Holy Roman Empire disband itself to keep Napoleon from getting the title of "Holy Roman Emperor?"
fug :D Actually they did wreck the ottomans. Austria and the other powers also forced them to let Greece, Serbia and Bulgaria free, and then kept the empire around so as to halt Russian expansion. Metternich was the architect of Europe for decades.
It's pretty self-evident why Rudolph's nose is red.
it's stained with the blood of his enemies

😲
I almost cried when realized that Ottokar was going to lose
was it really a surprise he was going to lose? The moment the name habsburg fell, you know ottokar is done for.
@Stavros S. Winning was a dick move from Rudolf? The reason Rudolf got elected as Holy Roman Emperor in the first place was because Ottokar not only held the only official kingdom within the empire (Bohemia) but also two medium sized duchies in Austria and Styria. Ottokar got too powerful too quickly and Rudolf defeated him to restore the balance of power within the empire.
Nah man fuck Ottokar, he seemed like a bit of a bastard.
@@TheIIDarkshadowII
Yeah this Rudolf guy totally won't have his habsburg sons' dynasty break the balance
Actually if Ottokar took in charge we would have big German States and Germany likely would of united as one cohesive country much earlier

Most defeats in battles were a result of someone panicking. Hold your ground, men. It's a key to victory.
Yes, but the exacerbated concept of "élan" or the lack of "battle spirit" that would develop in direct relation to the cavalry charges of the medieval era would eventually produce the carnage and death of a whole generation of Europeans in the First World War .
Either that or "not a chivalrous move". Conclusion - fight dirty?
Well.. that and when the commanders fucked up so badly you can see the slaughter dildo coming your way.
Better go home and delete my browser history : /
Sometimes too the rout is just the aftermath of a battle deciding move.if at that point you think you've lost,there no point staying for the slaughter

They rolled the dice on the battlefield and one of them founded a great house and the other is rarely spoken of. Cool video
Das leben ist ein wurfelspiel
In a video game, it would be easy to take some men from middle and swing them to the side to counter the weak a$$ flank. But in real life look what happened... I guess this is one of the reason why ancient commanders hold a sizable reserve, and commit units piece by piece.
Otakar had huge reserves, but they were bribed and left the battlefield
Yeah, it's a totally different scenario when you're talking about commanding human lives vs. pixels on a screen. The pixels just perform actions and react in the way their programming tells them, but humans make specific choices because it's *their* life at stake and there's no respawn in irl.
Brilliant! I am Czech and I love how you portrayed this battle, one of the most important battles in Czech history. One little thing that I also noticed in video about Battle of Kressenbrunn: In 13. century Bohemian kingdom had in coat of arms (it's that correct term...?) white two tailed lion on red field. It was Otokar grandfather Přemysl Otakar I. who first used it (Otokar is in Czech Republic known as Přemysl Otakar II.). But that is only minor flaw on otherwise wonderful video! Well done! If you want to take another part of our history and portrait it, maybe you find inspiration in Hussites?
Absolutely great video. Ottokar was son of even greater king Venceslav but was not so good politician and war leader as his father and grandfather. Being chivalric cost him life and kingdom. BTW his son Venceslav II married Rudolfs daughter and Rudolf later helped him to consilidate his reign over Bohemia so Premyslid dynasty came back to power again.
So when are you going to cover the Great Emu War?

Everyone hates the Habsburg ...
@@washizukanorico really?
I hopped you will mention the huge Bohemian reserves Ottakar had. His army was pushed to the river and surrounded, when he was expecting his reserves to come to battle and support him (and change course of battle) they have turned back and left the battlefield. Rudolph has bribed them before the battle, also they didn't like Ottakar because of his power. He still refused to surrender and charged to Rudolph, killing his horse and nearly killing him, but Rudolph was saved by his men, Ottakar still fought and was killed by 12 wounds. Rudolph letter to pope: ,,...Although the mentioned king saw a total defeat of his army and that he is abandoned by almost everybody, he did not retreat from our winning battalions, but he fought with huge spirit and morale and wonderful bravery, until some of our knights knocked him off fatally wounded with his horse. Then finally the proud king lost his victory and his life..."
Rudolph kind of a bitch huh?
Yea, I was rooting for Ottokar from the start. Rudolf seemed kind of a dirty politician
to je častý mýtus s tým podplacením
@@niccolorichter1488 Well, ok, I made a mistake, on wikipedia they also say (even tho, never trus wikipedia, until you are completely sure) that those reserves were the units behind the main battle line, who came to help on right flank, but got mistaken for retreating soldiers, but the letter is true. :)
We also have to consider that Ottokars mother was of the Hohenstaufen line, which probably also was one big point why he saw him self sitting on the imperial throne.
Charles the IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor, had a long and successfu-
Wait wrong timeline..
I was thinking of the same game!
Btw he wasnt IV at all... IV. he was at Roman throne as Charles (in early life he was Wenceslavs, in czech Václav, after christening he became Charles at honour of his uncle Charles IV the Fair, king of French throne), so in Lands of Czech Crown he was Charles I., if he wouldnt renamed he would be Wenceslavs IV. (Václav IV.), later that was name of his succesor (and son)
Funny enough, both Rudolf and Ottokar were Charles IV's great-grandfathers
IMfromNYCity I hopes u all get this reference (clears throat)
“You have more than one great grandfather Charles... Otakar was your FATHER’s grandfather... your MOTHER’s grandfather, was Rudolf of Habsburg.”
Yes I know that technically considering succession laws it should be the other way round but it fits the reference better this way 😜
It's the same timeline you inbr3d Hapsburg
Vážení přátelé z Bazbattles, udělali jste mě velkou radost

It's important toho goes before budeš, as it gives the importance on the subject and Rudolfe, as we add suffix when addressing someone. :)
Really nice of you to insert a czech dialogue bubble for Ottokar.

Were there any reasons to bend the knee earlier, while Ottokar had been in control of such a large territory? Bohemian rebellion was, obviously, a problem, but surely having far bigger tax and manpower pool offered better chances to deal with the emperor and rebellion at the same time, rather than face Rudolph using vanilla Bohemian army later on.
Any missing details here? I imagine rebellion was not a coincidence - and if core lands could resent their monarch so much, perhaps Rudolph was also able to convince local elites in non-Bohemian lands to abandon Ottokar?
Otokar had to make sure there was no chance of noble uprising/civil war in his core lands(Bohemia, Moravia). He wasnt ready at first as his power wasnt consolidated enough in the new teritories. It took him two years to get ready as mentioned and although with less resources his chances were higher then...
the uprising was not a coincidence. Rudolf planned it.
I do not know why he did not mention it there
Correct. It appears that Rudolph managed to bribe or otherwise convince several nobles to abandon Ottokar.
Záviš of Falkenstein specifically. He kept suspiciously good relations with Rudolf when he served as a de facto ruler of Czech lands after death of Ottokar II. It's not proven but it seems plausible that he was in league with Rudolf even earlier. Strong crown means weaker nobles which the nobles understandably disliked.
Maybe battle of Grunwald (Tannenberg) 1410 will be good idea ;)
As small of an addition As it is, the overlay of the previous battle you guys covered at 7:28 was really cool!
I have been at the site of the battle. I have friends in Jedenspeigen und Dürnkrut. The castle is still there in Jedenspeigen and there's a Medieval festival each year because of the battle and it is awesome.
holy shit theres literally my homevillage in this. yay i guess
My ancestors were fro Tabor.
@@jeanfish7 Tabor in the South of Bohemia? I'd say that's a great honor to have the ancestors from there. The city itself was formed in 1420 by the Hussites, it was something like "holy" land for them. It was inhabited by many great warriors at that time. Still one my favourite parts of our history.
@@Higher_Will Original last name was Riba, or Ryba, not sure of correct spelling
@@jeanfish7 Oh Ryba should be correct. Ryba = Fish in Czech. I'd say that's a typical old Czech name.

Thank you so much for covering this battle! It is considered among the most important in our history, so much so that every August a Medieval Fair is held in either Dürnkrut or Jedenspeigen, including a tournament.
It is said Ulrich von Kapellen actually apologised to his troops for executing such an "unchivalrous" maneuver, but this might be just myth.
