    Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Italian Wars continues with the aftermath of the battle of Fornovo 1495, as the French army left Italy. However that only increased the instability, leading to the 2nd and 3rd Italian Wars, more French involvement, Aragonese intervention, and the battles of Cerignola and Garigliano of 1503.

      Hi, Kings and Generals. You are my favorite channel. I don't know if you are aware of the differences between the two type of Spanish Dubs that are typically used: for Spain and for Latin America. The thing is, people from Spain love the Spanish one and people from Latin America the other one, which is logical. Since I am from Spain, I don't like the Latin American Dub and I prefer 100% to listen to OfficiallyDevin's magnificent voice. This is of course 100% subjective and all my respects to the Dub that has been incorporated to this video. As a suggestion, it would be great if you could also produce a Dub with Spanish from Spain. Many greetings and once again, your channel is pure gold.

I can also see a lot of your videos being included in history class syllabi around our 550-million strong linguistic community. (Although it will never be the exact same experience without OfficiallyDevin bringing that unique tone to narrate the stories of misadventurous kings that decide to charge forward without scouting the forests for possible traps! 😀

I also recall that while I was a child in Spain, all our Disney cartoons were dubbed in neutral "Latin American" Spanish , while the rest of our TV programs were in Iberian Spanish and we as kids didn't care.

      I like it is dubbed in Spanish. The dubber is trying to do an excellent job (although I would allow him a few runs before judging him, he needs to find his own tone that convey epic, just as OfficiallyDevin did over time, and that takes a bit of iterations and practice). Just a tip: in pronouncing Kings & Generals, he may want to say it in English (including using the pallatal non-gutural sound English-speakers use for "G" in saying Generals, instead the "H" sound he uses, i.e. as in "Happy"). Kings and Generals is a personal name and should not be dubbed. But a super job!!!

      Don Fernando González de Cordoba was one of the best commanders of his time if not the best. He created the famous Tercios and their tactics which involves a close coordination between melee infantry, range infantry, cavalry and artillery, something that today is quite obvious but in those times it not used, every unit moved like an indeoendent thing and not combined. He's also known as El Gran Capitán, The Great Captain.

    Hello! I’m Johan, writer and researcher for the video! I’m very excited to bring you chapter two of our series on the Italian wars. A lot of events took place, so some had to be cut, but I’ll add some notes on interesting things that did not make the final cut.
    2:40 The Neapolese reconquest of Naples is an interesting war, with Italian condottieri changing sides (such as the Colonna joining the Spanish and the Orsini joining the French), Aragonese, Venetian and Nepoletan attacks and the desperate defence of the French-Scottish general Berault Stuart d'Aubigny and Montpensier in the south, attempting to resist without much help from his king who was cash-strapped after Fornovo. Battles that took place were the First battle of Seminara 1495, Battle of Eboli, the siege of the Neapolitan Castles, the battle of Montecalvo and the Siege of Atella
    4:07 The conflict between Pisa and Florence is very much a David vs Goliath story, and the conflict became a proxy war between Milanese and Venetian, and later French against Spanish, while France slowly lost the coastal towns in Tuscany. Also, it was the time where Savonarola ruled the city of Florence.
    14:33 Capitana was especially important for the finances of the Kingdom, as Foggia was fundamental to control the most lucrative income of the kingdom, the “dogana delle pecore”, the tax on the practice of herding sheep to the mountains in the summer to graze the fresh grass, called “transumanza”. We are talking about millions of sheep, so saying that a war between France and Spain began because of a 'Flock of sheep', while funny and not entirely incorrect, is a bit oversimplified. :)
    15:18 There were a lot of small military actions, battles and skirmishes between Autumn 1502- Spring 1503 (Siege of Canosa, Battle of Ruvo, Second battle of Seminara 1502, not to mention local nobles). During the stalemate, a number of duels were held between the knights of the two armies on neutral Venetian soil, the most famous of which was the “Disfida di Barletta” where 13 Italian knights won against 13 French, an episode famous in the Italian historiography and nation-creating conscience in the last centuries.
    15:32 The French defeat at the Third Battle of Seminara 1503 came a week before the Battle of Cerignola, completely destroying the French presence in the Kingdom.
    18:30 "first time mass arquebuses were used" as in for the first time they were used in great numbers and strategically, not the first time they were used in battle, to clear up any confusion
    If you have any other questions you are welcome to ask them!

    Another well done video.
    Some comments though:
    Gonzalo de Cordoba or El Gran Capitan had great influence on modern warfare. After his defeat at Seminara ( which he told Frederico we will lose as Spanish troops were used to engaging mobile Moorish adversaries and thus were lightly armored in compared to the French) De Cordoba reorganized his army. He converted roughly 2/3s of his crossbows to arqubisiers with the remaining Spanish infantry to sword and buckler infantry with some crossbows. The landsknechts were brought in to provide the pikes as the Spanish had not fully developed that arm. He also understood that his army could not meet the French on even terms so he changed the equation by digging in behind a stream and letting the French come to him. More detailed accounts of the battle showed that he had converted the ditch into a modern day kill zone which negated the strength of the Swiss pikes and French cavalry. He understood the effects of terrain on armies and used it to his advantage. Some consider De Cordoba the progenitor of the first modern general. He was not called El Gran Capitan for nothing.

Louis III (reigned 879-882) also died in this manner, falling from his horse after hitting his head, and suffering a skull fracture in the fall. Chroniclers of his reign say that the randy young king was attempting to chase a woman through a castle entrance when the accident occurred.

      @@tsmlaska7761 1) Hard to say as we have no proof of the soldiers’ genealogy but I would say mostly the ancestors of the Turks. Much of Anatolia was conquered by the Seljuk Turks during the 11th century and it is possible that a good number of these Turkic soldiers would intermarry and settled with the natives. By the time the Ottomans came to power in the 14th - 15th century, it is believable that most of the populations in Anatolia would have a small portion of their genes related to these Seljuk Turkic soldiers.
      2)”Best” is subjective but I can name a few that have a profound impact in history. Ottoman Empire, Seljuk Empire, Mughal Empire and Hunnic Empire (Subjective as origin is unclear if it’s predominantly Turkic or Proto-Mongolic or mixed of both). Descendants would be any Turkic nations you can think of such as Turkey.
      3)Geographical location. Uzbeks, Azeris and Turkish people are located on the western part of the Turkic sphere where they are more likely to have Irani/Caucasian/ Arabian features due to close proximity and intermarrying with Iranian/Caucasian/Arabian people. Compared to Kazakhs who are located northeast of the Turkic sphere closer to Mongolia and Kyrgyzstan where they are likely to have Altaic/Mongolic features based on intermarrying.

    Firstly, as a Spanish speaker from Spain, I didn't mind that the accent wasn't mine, since that's what happens when your language is spoken in so many countries ;) Secondly, I liked the voice, even though I'm more used to the English one, of course. At last, but not least, it was a little bit odd how some names were pronounced, specially the French ones.

    After the Battle of Cerignola Spain became the first power in the world, surpassing his biggest enemy, France. This is how important this battle was for Spain.

      That's like saying Rocroi made France more powerful than Spain, which it didn't. Stop trying to oversimplify long political changes into a single battle. In reality Spain's rise to dominance happened over a period of decades in the early 1500's and it retained this dominance until around the mid 1600's.

    I really like the idea of expanding your content to other languages. One thing I should point out though is that, when I started watching, for some reason it was automatically set to switch back and forth between audio tracks. I did manage to figure out how to fix it and I’m not sure if that is something that gets set up on your end but if it is, you might want to just set it to one or the other or put instructions in the description on how to fix it.
