On one hand I'm kinda happy that a Polish king made it into this list, on the other hand I think that the famous Polish knight Zawisza the Black of Garbów would be a much better choice.
Absolutely. After the tournament in Perpignan in 1415, no-one wanted to joust against Zawisza. All of Christian Europe acknowledged he was the most skilled warrior of his time. Also, he was a highly educated and intelligent man, who represented the Kingdom of Poland as a diplomat on many occasions. Finally, he died like a true knight, when he refused to abandon the Polish men-at-arms under his command, whom king Sigismund left to protect the retreat at Golubac in 1428.

A fractious nobility is a major reason the courts of English kings toured the land- a noble was beggared trying to entertain a king, his retinue, and many poxy camp followers. After that plague of locusts in human form, a noble's coffers were empty of gold, his lands stripped of game, his peasants of their crops- their daughters infected with all manner of STDs. Hard to finance a revolt or siege after that. Compare this policy with that of the Three Unifiers of Japan: they commanded each daimyo to keep a residence in the capitol in which their wives and daughters were confined as virtual hostages against the lord's good behavior. Moreover, traveling to and from the capitol in appropriate style was an expensive process. In combination, these customs were tactics designed to keep the great lords too broke to revolt.
Who else thought of Army of Darkness and Ashes prosthetic hand when they saw that picture near the end? *proceeds to crush a tin cup with his iron hand* "Groovie"
Is there a source in English or German about him? I only know him from "The Crusaders" by Henryk Scienkewic (or so, butchered it) which is hardly a reliable source. Quite the contrary.
Władysław III Warneńczyk is not considered either dangerous or feared. In fact, he is one of the worst kings in polish history and almost nobody respects him. He is considered by many as a stupid youngster, a shameful episode in polish monarchy history. His presence in this video is surprising for me.

Why are these “the most dangerous and feared” knights of the Middle Ages? This video doesn’t really address the topic, it’s more like “here’s a list of several knights from the Middle Ages “. I hate clickbait titles which really suck in cases like this. Good content but a b.s. title that ultimately leaves me disappointed.
Saint László the Hungarian knight king who lead many armies personally and never lost a battle was as iconic in the middle ages that his legend became Sir Lancelot in Western literature.
i love the video, however, i don't understand how Wladislaw gets a spot as a green experienced KING (all be it courageous), while Jhon hunyadi (Hungarian chad), seasoned veteran and brilliant tactician of many wars, only gets a mention, to me it should be the other way around.
William Marshall? yes, he was most dangerous and feared but there were other worthier, most feared and dangerous knights far better than the rest of the list. King Richard the Lionheart, GM Gerard de Ridefort, Duke Godfrey of Bouillon, Count Roger of Sicily and his Brother Duke Robert Guiscard, El Cid, King and Saint Ferdinand III, Knight Beyard and many more.
Gerard de Ridfort was actually probably the most incompetent Templar Grandmaster in the History of the Order. I would definitely mot include that guy on such a list.
Did Sir Götz also have something that was too big to be called a sword? Because it was massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough? Perhaps it was a heap of raw iron? I also need to know if his iron hand had a small cannon.
Why am I not surprised by the ignorance of people of English-speaking culture? By omitting some small regions like Spain, Italy, the Balkans and focusing on what they think of what supreme chivalry was in Europe... Out of 6 knights 3 are English. 1 is Polish, 1 is French, 1 is German. The Mediterraneans? What is the Mediterranean?
It’s more likely that it was William Marshall to be inspired in his knightly ways by the Arthurian legends’ Lancelot ((or whatever the character was called before Geoffrey of Monmouth, de Troyes and all the others put their medieval _noblesse oblige_ spin on the legends)) than “viceversa” - Arthurian myths and lore had already been around for at least a few centuries by the time William was born and lived. 🤔😊🥰
Im not fucking witn any knights unless i have a high caliber hand gun and about 50 yards bitween he and I along with nothing behind me. Other than that, nope
Saint László the Hungarian knight king who lead many armies personally and never lost a battle was so iconic in the middle ages that his legend became Sir Lancelot in Western literature. (Not the same as king Władysław III here)

Lancelot had an adulterous affair with his king's wife , with no qualms about it. I would be more willing to compare William Marshal to Gawain: a knight who was not perfect , who made mistakes, but at heart he was a good loyal man,ready to get beheaded to respect an oath ( although afraid of this possibility)
@mariarosariatrametta116 Actually, William Marshall was accused of having an affair with Henry's The Young King's wife. He, of course, denies it, but he does distance himself from the royal family for a while
@@grapeshot True. Nice to find another connausseur of the Marshal 's life. Surely you know that his affair with queen Marguerite was very likely a rumour spread to damage him . A bit difficult to have an affair with a queen under her husband's roof ,since she would never be alone ( although not impossible, Katherine Howard docet ). However, I like to compare him with Gawain because he was quite easygoing . In his biography ,written on the basis of the memories of his family and his household, he was comfortable in confessing that when he was young he was very fond of sleeping and eating , and in general he looks like a simple,honest man . Ofc the biography and his character was not safe from embellishment , but considering that it was also written for his family , to remember him , it cannot contain gross lies because it would make no sense : it was meant to be read by people who knew him very well ,so they would have recognized frank lies.
Teutonic knights were probably the most feared knight for awhile. The Danes feared them enough to convert to Christianity since the king knew that they would ally instead of annihilate the pagan Vikings. The Germanic knights were merciless. That warrior culture ended essentially because of the fear they instilled. Hands down one though the sword and buckler man was the most feared fighter of the end of the Middle Ages. Spanish did it best. Doubt it? When a few hundred men can destroy the Inca etc. I would put them up against any warrior and they would win. An Italian or Spanish master was the best hand to hand combatant of the day. So much so they were rented out everywhere in kings courts etc. Only when European counties industrialized and banned the sword was when they sadly disappeared. There are no masters of western martial arts. Only books which some are trying to revive but… it isn’t the same.
You've omitted some key knights here, many of which far eclipse some on the list. Your inclusions are fair enough and these are indeed very famous knights. William Marshal most of all. but the list ought to have been expanded because it is somewhat of an insult to see many here left out. Rodrigo Díaz De Vivar or "El Cid" for instance who absolutely wrecked all opponents be they Moors or hostile Christian kings in medieval Spain, who was hired by Moorish emirs to protect them and who led Muslims and Christian armies alike in war. We also have Godfrey of Bouillon, leader of the massively successful first Crusade and first over the walls of Jerusalem, Bohemond Hauteville, a legend in his day and described as an absolute unit of a man physically and militarily by the Byzantine Empress, Tancred Hauteville and all the Hautevilles really. Richard Lionheart, won every single battle in the Third Crusade and once fought off a horde of Saracens in battle while covered head to toe in arrows blanketing his armour, earning such respect that the Muslims simply stopped attacking as all who did went down before his battle axe. King Baldouin IV the Leper, who defeated Saladin in battle 3 times despite his illness and despite being *16* years of age during one of these battles and also upheld a prosperous kingdom as well as instilling such respect among his vassals to remain king even as he was deteriorating so heavily from leprosy. Edward Longshanks the Hammer of the Scots who put down rebellions by the scores and who single handledly killed an Arab assassin who tried to murder him in his bedchambers, Roger Guiscard the Fox, as successful in political maneuvers as in the field of battle, Hugues de Payens founder of the Knights Templar and all his knight companions (we only know the names of a few of them), Jan Žižka the famously skilled Hussite, or King John III Sobieski of Poland who led the Polish Hussar charge in 1683 decimating an Ottoman army of over 100,000 inspiring the Rohirric charge in Lotr itself. To sum it up: There are many, many more than these listed worthy of mention.
Götz von Berlichingen said : "...und saget Ihm: Er könne mich im Arsche lecken." (...and tell him : He can lick me in the ass). What is even more rude.
There is no Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar... one knight who got a kingdom by his own strenght, feared by muslims and cristians and winner of multiple battles. The video is too anglocentric....
Don’t be surprised, that if there’s ever a Netflix special on Black Douglas, they’ll cast Will Smith in the role.😉😆 With so much like nonsense going on in the media and entertainment industry, some people have dubbed it, the “African colonization of European history”.🫤
Bravo. If you do more. A couple of very hardcore mofos: Fra' Jean "Parisot" de (la) Valette. A couple of she wolves like Marguerite d’Anjou or Nicolaa de la Haye who both held knight equivalent titles. Sadly Jeanne d'arc didnt. The leper king Baldwin Iv was quite the badass.
"Dangerous and Feared Knights" - a guy that storms into battle and gets decapitated….. LMAO What a ridiculously unfitting title for a video that starts out with an example where someone recklessly do a frontal charge heading into a wall of enemies!

Hands down one though the sword and buckler man was the most feared fighter of the end of the Middle Ages. Spanish did it best. Doubt it? When a few hundred men can destroy the Inca etc. I would put them up against any warrior and they would win.
An Italian or Spanish master was the best hand to hand combatant of the day. So much so they were rented out everywhere in kings courts etc.
Only when European counties industrialized and banned the sword was when they sadly disappeared. There are no masters of western martial arts. Only books which some are trying to revive but… it isn’t the same.
Gnome here, studying the best of the best our foes have to offer
What about Pierre Terrail de Bayard ?
Bro king steven has some crazy eyes
I LOVE your videos!
Thanks!
Maximilian I Roman emperior ... also extreme skilled knight
I am a direct descendant of William Marshal, the Perfect Knight.
You've omitted some key knights here, many of which far eclipse some on the list. Your inclusions are fair enough and these are indeed very famous knights. William Marshal most of all. but the list ought to have been expanded because it is somewhat of an insult to see many here left out. Rodrigo Díaz De Vivar or "El Cid" for instance who absolutely wrecked all opponents be they Moors or hostile Christian kings in medieval Spain, who was hired by Moorish emirs to protect them and who led Muslims and Christian armies alike in war. We also have Godfrey of Bouillon, leader of the massively successful first Crusade and first over the walls of Jerusalem, Bohemond Hauteville, a legend in his day and described as an absolute unit of a man physically and militarily by the Byzantine Empress, Tancred Hauteville and all the Hautevilles really. Richard Lionheart, won every single battle in the Third Crusade and once fought off a horde of Saracens in battle while covered head to toe in arrows blanketing his armour, earning such respect that the Muslims simply stopped attacking as all who did went down before his battle axe. King Baldouin IV the Leper, who defeated Saladin in battle 3 times despite his illness and despite being *16* years of age during one of these battles and also upheld a prosperous kingdom as well as instilling such respect among his vassals to remain king even as he was deteriorating so heavily from leprosy. Edward Longshanks the Hammer of the Scots who put down rebellions by the scores and who single handledly killed an Arab assassin who tried to murder him in his bedchambers, Roger Guiscard the Fox, as successful in political maneuvers as in the field of battle, Hugues de Payens founder of the Knights Templar and all his knight companions (we only know the names of a few of them), Jan Žižka the famously skilled Hussite, or King John III Sobieski of Poland who led the Polish Hussar charge in 1683 decimating an Ottoman army of over 100,000 inspiring the Rohirric charge in Lotr itself.
To sum it up: There are many, many more than these listed worthy of mention.
I like that short outro is becoming a thing among quality. Well done 👍
Götz von Berlichingen said : "...und saget Ihm: Er könne mich im Arsche lecken." (...and tell him : He can lick me in the ass). What is even more rude.
The Cid
There is no Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar... one knight who got a kingdom by his own strenght, feared by muslims and cristians and winner of multiple battles. The video is too anglocentric....
My family created all that belief the Crusaders Raymond, father of Jerusalem. Father is plural Lords of the empire plural empire plural.
I'm related to Black Douglas.
What picture is used for the thumbnail?
For real 😮
Fighting those snails 🐌 must have been very hard.
This is an incredible vid. Thank you. I've subscribed.
I laughed way to hard at the anvil/hammer line if i was that knight i would have given the kid back just for that brilliant. 😂
King Steven seems quite... focused 😅
I live in America, I might *still* get struck down by a tooth infection.
Don’t be surprised, that if there’s ever a Netflix special on Black Douglas, they’ll cast Will Smith in the role.😉😆
With so much like nonsense going on in the media and entertainment industry, some people have dubbed it, the “African colonization of European history”.🫤
He was already featured in the Netflix movie "Outlaw King", played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Kick-ass and MCU's Quicksilver.
Hush ye hush ye the Black Douglas will not get ye ……
Much respect for the Black Douglas!
Some cowboy with double 6 shooter: that's a funny tin man.
Where is Serbia man ...Despot Stefan , Palman, novak Grebostrek
My youngest son named his dog "Guts von Baerlichen".
Wtf do you mean "disguised his men as oxen", that has to be a typo in some historical account...
It's James Douglas the good as he is known in Scotland
Bravo. If you do more. A couple of very hardcore mofos: Fra' Jean "Parisot" de (la) Valette. A couple of she wolves like Marguerite d’Anjou or Nicolaa de la Haye who both held knight equivalent titles. Sadly Jeanne d'arc didnt. The leper king Baldwin Iv was quite the badass.
Your lecture is spoken in such a monotonous way, that it hurts. The content is interesting.
The most feared knight of the middle ages is hands down the giant Snail 🐌😊
No words about Pierre Terrail de Bayard, du Guesclin, Gaston de foix? Blasphemy
William Marshall. Godfrey Of Builloin for sure
They have the power of God AND anime on their side !!! hhaaaaahhh !!!
Tancred (Prince of Galilee) is probably still one of the most underrated knights, considering his accomplishments during the first crusade.
So what made them so dangerous????? Another be video!!
"Dangerous and Feared Knights" - a guy that storms into battle and gets decapitated…..
LMAO
What a ridiculously unfitting title for a video that starts out with an example where someone recklessly do a frontal charge heading into a wall of enemies!
The accent and wording of this video caused me to rewind several times throughout this video. Speaking fast and using words like set alight.... If this wasn't so annoying the video would have been good.
Boucicaut always gets levy off these lists 🤷🏻♂️
Dont fk with this knights !
bro, all of them are dead for a long time
So you should rename this video to "The Biggest Medieval Shit-stirrers Who Dared to Have a Go"... 🤣
What about Jamie Lannister or Arthur Dane? Did barristan selmy make the list? Robert baratheon...geez some list
What's wrong with Stephen's face
Do a biography of the other famous Percy. Lord Percy Percy of Northumberland.
Don't fuck with Sir Gallahad the chaste
William Marshall inspired Ser Barriston Selmy
Some knights got very drunk - especially the Knights Tippler
I love this channel. Each video is so well made and informative. Great narration as well. 🐦🔥
