You know, that war is probably the ultimate fantasy war. There's mad kings, warrior princes, heroic sellswords, spin-off in exotic locations, the plague, peasant uprising, huge one-sided battles, discovery of secret weapon, countries on the verge of destruction, treason, civil war, a mystical young girl to serve as a savior figure... I'm always surprised the kinda-dull war of roses got so much cred to this one's expenses.
“The hundred years war also marks a period of immense restraint by the french who manage to go this entire period without naming a single King Louis, but much like the peace this wouldn’t last” 😆😆😆

Fun fact: The King of Bohemia, John, was already blind for a few years when fighting in the battle. He tied his horse's bridle to those of his helpers and together they charged. They all sadly perished due to the archer valley, but it's there to show you that even while blind, the man was damn madman and had a huge courage.
"The Hundred Years War also marks a period of immense restraint by the French who managed to go this entire period without naming a single king 'Louis'" That line killed me. I'm dead now.
at least all the Kings of France were French. England Kings were all foreigners. Normand= French Plantagenets = French Tudors = Welsh Stuart = Scotish Orange-Nasau= Dutch Hanover = German Windosr (the Nazi dynasty) = german this kills me when i realized that england was the first colony of France. Dieu et mon droit
There's another sense in which this war is important. It marks both the culmination and endpoint of medieval warfare. One of the last big wars with knights and castles (and longbowmen). And it was both caused by and fought in the framework of, the classic european feudal system, which was soon to disappear and be replaced by centralized nation states. A process which the outcome of this war at least showcased. At any rate, if we assume the Hundred Years War to have ended in 1453, then it's ending falls together with another epochal event: the Fall of Constantinople and the final End of the (Eastern) Roman Empire. Both events are widely regarded as the endpoint to the middle ages. Within a few decades, the Spanish would land in the Americas, Johannes Gutenberg would popularize printing with moveable type and the Protestant Reformation would sweep away the catholic hold of much of northern Europe.
And the first French military campaign in Italy opened everyone's eyes to the artistic and scientific wonders the Italians were up to meanwhile, and 'forced' open a territory that was somewhat isolated for a while, and for the next 7 wars, became the staging ground of the conflicting ambitions between French and Germans that shaped Europe for centuries to come
I think the end of of medieval warfare is marked by the battle of Cerignola in 1503 between Spanish and French forces, since it was the first battle won by small firearms against knights. To put a long story short, the Spanish commander Gonzalo de Cordoba had a bunch of extra arquebuses because reinforcements had not arrived but their supplies had. So he massed the arquebuses on a fortified position, which then decimated the attacking French forces when they charged. Pikemen and swordsmen then finished off the retreating French, who managed to get themselves stuck in a muddy field while trying to get away.

@Ed the simple answer is, they used i instead. if you ever wondered why crucifixes have INRI when they really mean Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum, that's why. the longer answer involves borrowed orthography from Old French, the fact that those names are foreign to English in the first place, and only a later-on desire to seperate the vowel-i from the consonant-j. might as well also point out that this sometimes-a-vowel-sometimes-a-consonant situation still exists in English, in the form of the letter y (compare, say, year and rhyme)

@@casper6405 Louis the first is Charlemagne's eldest and only surving son who succeded him as the king of the Francs and Emperor of Europe in 814. And the name Louis is so popular in french royalty because it derives from the name Clovis (C became silent and V became U)
The first Louis was Clovis, king of the Franks. He conquered the former roman Gaul at the end of the 5th century and he created the first french royal dynasty. (Louis is a deformation of Clovis). The 2d Louis was Charlemagne’s son, Roman Emperor. So the name Louis was both royal and imperial. That explains its success in the french royal families.
@@Jeffron71 she was made a Saint after the church split from the French government! Designed to give the French people a strong sense of nationalism and unite the people after WW1
Well he was still highly dependant on the Burgundians and having him taking over France wasn't in the Duke best interest since playing English and French against one another was his best way to maintain de facto independance and expand his territory.
Arguably the "English" defeat of the 100 year war turned out to be an English victory and a French defeat culturally speaking; most of the "english nobility" being french and all. Cause had the english won and lasted at more than one generation and the english language would be even more french than it currently is. Cause the "english" dinasty would have ruled form Paris and reverted back to french as the main language, culture etc. Although, I don't think it would have lasted for long anyway : the two entities would have regained independence from one another one way or another...
According to my EU4 game the French won the 100 Years war by VERY quickly moving their troops to Scotland and invading England from the north and sieging London. With Scotland getting Northumberland and Carlisle, and France getting Cornwall.
No need, just occupy the continental holdings and then ask for the irish province thay have (Meath, i think), then after the war move some troops to ireland and start conquering, you can then cross into scotland and use it as a waypoint to getting the rest of england (you should be powerfull enough to beat the english with you army)
You know, the Portuguese actually tried calling in on that alliance when India kicked them out of Goa and the UK said that they would certainly give them "several man o' war with cannon, fit for battle" Yes they meant the old wooden ship, because they were deliciously british
I'm having trouble finding the quote, but the annexation occurred in the December of 1961 as part of this giant sprawling mess aptly referred to by the Portuguese as "the overseas war" that lasted from that same year to the end of the Estado Novo regime in 1974 following salazar's death
The Portuguese should've just answered "yes" to that offer - because actually finding several seaworthy men-of-war with cannons would've been quite a task, I imagine. :D
Fake. India kicked Portugal out of Goa in the 60's. The British were strongly opposed to Portuguese colonialism by then and theough they did not support the Indians they voiced their concern for Portuguese colonialism. I don't know where you heard that or if you made it up yourself, but whoever first thought that is just an idiot looking to divide the two nations.
Well the Germans did try and build an Atlantic Wall. That didn't end up working out too well. Also (and this is one of the reasons England has been less and less successfully invaded than France), currents in the English Channel make it easier to sail from England to Normandy or Brittany than the opposite. In fact, William the Conqueror had to wait months until the winds were good enough to attempt the crossing - which turned out to be salutary, as Harold Godwinson had had to confront the Norwegians in the north and his army was tired. The difficulty to navigate the western Atlantic coast of Europe partially explains why France, despite having such a long coastline, was late in building a true navy, aside from having enough arable land of excellent quality not to need fishing or maritime trade. That is, until the 16th century, when appropriate naval technology could be implemented and used for trans-Atlantic travel.
I think you should of mentioned that the main reason Edward III went to war was that Phillip VI had taken control of the wool trade in the Low Countries and barred all English. English exports of wool had made the country very prosperous and the customs duties had been a reliable source of taxation for Edward. This had now stopped and he decided conquering France would be the best solution to restarting the trade to get the country economically back on track. Like your videos btw
haha nope! I think the French got a bit carried away with the whole "we have bigger army lets steamroll them thing" never mind the fact that the English have sharp pointy things in the way :D
I often come across sentences in history books from all over the world saying "England is a just a French colony that turned out wrong". " English is just French mispronounced " Or "France is is a king-maker and the cradle of Europe". Finally somewhat understood them watching this video. Thanks 🙏
Except english is a Germanic language like german dutch swedish danish Norwegian and Icelandic. French is a Latin language like Spanish Portuguese Italian Sicilian and Romanian. England is more like a Scandinavian settlement. Seeing as the norman french were Scandinavians who spoke a dialect of french
@@thomashaapalainen4108 Yhea but it was inspired by old french (doc and doil languages)/vulgar latin. I've researched and english is composed of 30% of old french, 30% vulgar latin (also imported from France) or so and 40% saxon I believe. The normans were of french culture and bowed as vassals to the king of France. They were nords who were "assimilated" into french culture (assimilation is an important word in France's History, even to this day in politics). The germanic aspect of the english language is connected to everyday life and common things of the people, meaning as long as the vocabulary is ordinary or simple objects, you'd talk english perfectly fine just knowing german. But, as latin and french were the language of the nobles and the monarchy and the King, it'd be a lot less riched language. The British Monarchy also retains that aspect today of the french monarchy: « Dieu et mon droit » "honni soit qui mal y pense" The hundred years war was a war between 2 french dynasties. And a civil war of course.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 That is total nonsense that is extremely biased towards France and is historically inaccurate. The 100 years war was between the English plantagenets and the French Valois. The Plantagenets had been debased from France 200 years before and they became English. The Plantagenets took advantage of the Armagnac-Burgundian civil war to plunder and burn France andsend wealth and riches back home to England. Also, the Normans were not French. The French themselves hated the Normans and called them a seperate race to them. As for the French language. It's just a crappy version of Latin because Julius Caesar utterly dominated the Gauls and then German Franks invaded and dominated the Gauls again.
I just found this series yesterday and they are adorable and a very entertaining way to learn history. If this was a history class, I think every student would get an "A". 😃
My ancestor Sir Thomas De Mildenhall was a farrier knight who fought for King Edward III in this war. One of his son's escorted the queen to France to meet up with King Edward another son was commissioned to prepare arrows for the war. We lost our Manor house years later in Mildenhall during the war of the roses

@@Valencetheshireman927 All Kings of France were French, basic principle of French history. English at that time could not be king of France because: 1) they were French, not English. 2) They were not members of the Capetian Dynasty. While All Kings of England were foreigners. But you are not the only country created by French. The first king of Portugal for example, was French, a Capetian from Bourgogne. so you should be happy to be part of the French former colonies. The Normands = French The Plantagenets = French The Tudors = Welsh, The Stuarts = Scottish, The Orange-Nasau = Dutch, The Hanover = German, The Nazi Windsor (Edward VIII, Elizabeth II) = German "Dieu et mon Droit / Honi soit qui mal y pennse" are not English mottos. :-)
@Ludovicius Magnus - “All kings of France were French , basic principle of French history .” What about King Henry the V who ruled most of France and although wasn’t crowned he still controlled the country for a while . He was born in Monmouth , Wales so are you telling me that he was French even though he was born in Wales and was the King of England ? What about his son ,king Henry the 6th who WAS crowned the king of France , he was born in Windsor castle which is in England are you still going to tell me that both those men were French and that all monarchs of France were French ? Someone needs to improve their geography skills 😉! English at that time could be considered kings of France because : 1- Exactly because of their French lineage . How does being French mean you can’t claim the French throne . Your logic of the English kings being French kinda contradicts itself there . 2- King Edward the third ( Who started the war his mother was of the Capetian dynasty which is why he claimed the throne of France in the first place . He had a bigger claim to the throne of France than House Valois did ! Not all kings of England were foreigners most of them were actually born in England even if their ancestors came from another country . 3- The fact that you think I should be happy at that prospect frankly disgust me . England was never w colony of France but the very thought of it is horrifying! The Normans - Norman French The Plantagenets - Yes but of French DESCENT not all of them were born in France. The Tudors - Welsh The Stuarts-Scottish Orange - It was hardly a dynasty since the only Dutch king of England was William of Orange who fight jointly with his English wife , Mary . The Windsors - The were first called the house of Hannover , then Saxe-Coburg Gotha and then finally Windsor . They were German but it’s foolish if you to think that they are Nazis when that’s not even a good conspiracy theory . There are rumours that Edward was pro-Nazi but even if that were true that doesn’t make the entire dynasty a house of Nazis as you seem to imply in other comments .
9:18 The Hanoverians dropped the claim on France because they realized they had fought for 10 years to restore the Bourbons even while claiming the throne themselves and this is stupid. On the contrary, the Jacobite's kept claiming the French throne even while being harbored by the very throne they still nominally claimed.
The lands aren’t all French, much of it was inherited land from the Angevin empire which the French kings stole . Given that the Angevins were the kings of England, England rightfully owned those lands.
@@HerewardWake "your own land back" English royalty LOST its inherited lands in France. It's literally a loss of territory. "internationally" Lmao. French would remain the language of the elite throughout Europe for the better part of 4 centuries.
@@Valencetheshireman927 Lol "english land" do I need to remind you that your king was originally a french duke who just felt like conquering England ? So technically all english land is french land
3:15 - "King John would never be released and in 1364 he died in London". Not quite. He WAS released and returned to France for three years but, unable to raise the ransom, returned voluntarily to captivity. He wasn't the sharpest tool dans la boîte
Merritt Animation erm I think it's something to do with the coat of arms of the region he took over having a dolphin on it. Not sure, will have to do some googling. It's similar to the heir to the English throne being the Prince of Wales
Geography and luck is oversimplifying it a bit - eg the West frequently utilized pre-existing conflicts to gain a foothold, such as the Spanish who arrived in Peru to a civil war. War was costly on the Inca and once a victor was announced the Spanish held him ransom... then killed him when the ransom was paid, because of course they did 😂
Joan of Arc was not convicted of heresy for her visions, she was convicted of heresy for wearing male clothes. Made promise of not wearing male clothes again, and then "relapsing" by having the english guards remove all other clothing but male and as a relapsed heretic could then be sentenced to death as a heretic. The court documents survives so it is quite an interesting read there was also a retrial in 1456 and even for the time her trial was deemed to be a complete farce and not in up to what medieval ecclesiastical law proscribed. Its the 1430s style inquisition you'd think one could off someone using the legal standards at the time, but even for that time it was heavily criticized for being botched.
Yes you re true. All is written in court documents. Joan Arc execution wasn t a pope decision but a corrupted Bishop decision under english influence at Rouen.

I’m directly descended from French nobility. The last French noble to hold title / peerage in the family was Jean-Pierre Duchene, Le Marquis du Rocher (Picardie) in France. He wanted to marry his hooker, my grandmother 10 generations removed, so Louis XIV exiled him to Québec. He married her in Quebec City, the marriage witnessed by the Governor and Archbishop. He had kids. If none of that had happened, you wouldn’t be reading this lol. We still have a coat of arms tho
Edward III never "officially" dropped his claim to the French crown, which would be the loophole he and all subsequent English Monarchs until George III used keep styling themselves King/Queen of France.
Because the Kings of England including Edward III was French. Plantagenets were a French dynasty. but this claim on the French throne ended, with the other foreign kings of England. Tudor = Welsh Stuart = Scotish Orange-Nasau = Dutch Hanover = German Windsor (the nazi dynasty) = German
@@ludoviciusmagnus5125 "England is just French, because Normans are French!" 🙄 By the time of Henry the 2nd the "Normans" were integrating into England, even if French persisted as the court language.
@@reidparker1848 And your point is? Henry II wasn't Norman (even if his mother was a Norman princess). He is Angevin... from Anjou, France.... hence the name Angevin Empire to describe all his holdings. The House of Plantagenet is from Anjou... Henry II was born and raised in France and was a French lord who ruled over some French fiefs before he even became king of England. And even after that, he and later his sons Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland all spent most of their lives in France. How the hell are you going to claim your kings were English and had assimilated by the reign of Henry II when neither spent much of their time in England nor did he even speak English?! By all accounts, your own historical ones included, your royalty only became more and more English in nature after Philip II Augustus of France and his successors conquered most of the Angevin Empire, effectively only leaving their Plantagenet vassals Gascony as their last holding in France at the time of the Hundred Years' War as shown in this video at the beginning. It is only then that the kingdom of England itself became their priority as they lost their much wealthier French holdings. People don't seem to understand it but there is a reason the English kings so desperately tried to maintain their French possessions. The Duchy of Aquitaine (one of the French fiefs they ruled over) alone was wealthier than the Kingdom of England in the high middle ages.
@Eliot Thexton Nonsense considering France was nowhere near as unified as England was and many of the French fiefdoms thought on the Plantagenet side (for example Burgundy, Flanders, Gascony, Navarre and even Brittany at times fought on the side of England). The whole Lancastrian phase literally happened during the French civil between a pro-Armagnac France and a pro-Burgundian France, which sided with England until 1435. That's how feudalism worked. And in case you didn't remember the Black Plague halved the French population even before the end of the First phase of the Hundred Years' War (the Edwardian phase).
Totally historically innacurate and full of anti-french propaganda. The battle of Azincourt is far away from reality, the evil Dauphin of France was in reality a sick and discreet man who wasn't even present in the battle because he was already... dead. While Henri V was far away from being a gentleman, a warrior execute prisonners and doing massacre. The movie was inspire by a Shakespear play, not reality.
After the battle of Crecy, the Black Prince was wandering around the battlefield when he came across a nobleman. He took his royal coronet as well as the motto to go along with it. The Nobleman was the King of Bohemia (who had had his horse tied to others because he was blind but didn't want to miss out on the action, google him) and the motto was 'I serve' or *Ich dien*, both motto and coronet are still used by The Prince of Wales today.
The Battle of Agincourt may be important, but I think the battleship HMS Agincourt is more notable for having fourteen heavy guns and making its own escorts feel that they were under attack.
The particularity of Azincourt is England broke the medieval war aggreement Killing nobles prisoners instead of ransomize. This shame has a prize . The english King lost all his allies in Western France ( Poitou, Normandy, Anjou, Britany). Sometimes a short time decision can give have a short time benefit but can be very bad in long time.
You really should have mentioned some of the aftermath of the war for France. The 100 years war is the start of the existence of French national sentiment and the centralisation of power in France . Before the war there was fealty to the king but the nobles did mostly what they wanted. Louis XI in the aftermath of the war did a lot to curtail them and create a unified nation.
One hundred years of war covered in 10 minutes... Imagine how useless that makes the people feel who died in this war. “We fought 100 years for 10 minutes of coverage???”
@@canag0d Why do you have to be rude about it? I don't need a brain I just don't need an abusive father who beats me into making rude comments on a small problem?
You forgot to mention the king of Navarre Charles ii "the bad" who played an important role in the hundred years war as he had a claim to the french throne.
The 100 year war marks a period of immense restraint by the French who managed to go this entire period without naming a single king Louis, but much like the peace this wouldn’t last.

the longer answer involves borrowed orthography from Old French, the fact that those names are foreign to English in the first place, and only a later-on desire to seperate the vowel-i from the consonant-j. might as well also point out that this sometimes-a-vowel-sometimes-a-consonant situation still exists in English, in the form of the letter y (compare, say, year and rhyme)
That English John was apparently a better king than he is usually given credit for. He was certainly more competent than his absentee idiot brother Richard who let himself be captured and held for ransom.
The Hundred Years' War is one of my favorite bits of history. I'm glad you're feeling better now. Love what you're doing on this channel, keep it up.

@@casper6405 Louis the first is Charlemagne's eldest and only surving son who succeded him as the king of the Francs and Emperor of Europe in 814. And the name Louis is so popular in french royalty because it derives from the name Clovis (C became silent and V became U)
The first Louis was Clovis, king of the Franks. He conquered the former roman Gaul at the end of the 5th century and he created the first french royal dynasty. (Louis is a deformation of Clovis). The 2d Louis was Charlemagne’s son, Roman Emperor. So the name Louis was both royal and imperial. That explains its success in the french royal families.

Wow if Henry V would have lived a little longer he might have been able to subjacgate all of France. I didn't realize how close he came to it.
One of history's great What ifs.
Well he was still highly dependant on the Burgundians and having him taking over France wasn't in the Duke best interest since playing English and French against one another was his best way to maintain de facto independance and expand his territory.
Yeah but I don't see the interest of the Duke of Burgundy in becoming the lapdog of such a powerful king.
That might have actually worked. The Spanish-American War was a great unifier for the North and South.
Arguably the "English" defeat of the 100 year war turned out to be an English victory and a French defeat culturally speaking; most of the "english nobility" being french and all. Cause had the english won and lasted at more than one generation and the english language would be even more french than it currently is. Cause the "english" dinasty would have ruled form Paris and reverted back to french as the main language, culture etc. Although, I don't think it would have lasted for long anyway : the two entities would have regained independence from one another one way or another...
According to my EU4 game the French won the 100 Years war by VERY quickly moving their troops to Scotland and invading England from the north and sieging London. With Scotland getting Northumberland and Carlisle, and France getting Cornwall.
In rl they where not experienced enough
No need, just occupy the continental holdings and then ask for the irish province thay have (Meath, i think), then after the war move some troops to ireland and start conquering, you can then cross into scotland and use it as a waypoint to getting the rest of england (you should be powerfull enough to beat the english with you army)

You know, the Portuguese actually tried calling in on that alliance when India kicked them out of Goa and the UK said that they would certainly give them "several man o' war with cannon, fit for battle"
Yes they meant the old wooden ship, because they were deliciously british
I'm having trouble finding the quote, but the annexation occurred in the December of 1961 as part of this giant sprawling mess aptly referred to by the Portuguese as "the overseas war" that lasted from that same year to the end of the Estado Novo regime in 1974 following salazar's death
The Portuguese should've just answered "yes" to that offer - because actually finding several seaworthy men-of-war with cannons would've been quite a task, I imagine. :D
Fake. India kicked Portugal out of Goa in the 60's. The British were strongly opposed to Portuguese colonialism by then and theough they did not support the Indians they voiced their concern for Portuguese colonialism.

Well the Germans did try and build an Atlantic Wall. That didn't end up working out too well.
Also (and this is one of the reasons England has been less and less successfully invaded than France), currents in the English Channel make it easier to sail from England to Normandy or Brittany than the opposite. In fact, William the Conqueror had to wait months until the winds were good enough to attempt the crossing - which turned out to be salutary, as Harold Godwinson had had to confront the Norwegians in the north and his army was tired.
The difficulty to navigate the western Atlantic coast of Europe partially explains why France, despite having such a long coastline, was late in building a true navy, aside from having enough arable land of excellent quality not to need fishing or maritime trade. That is, until the 16th century, when appropriate naval technology could be implemented and used for trans-Atlantic travel.
Both times
I think you should of mentioned that the main reason Edward III went to war was that Phillip VI had taken control of the wool trade in the Low Countries and barred all English. English exports of wool had made the country very prosperous and the customs duties had been a reliable source of taxation for Edward. This had now stopped and he decided conquering France would be the best solution to restarting the trade to get the country economically back on track. Like your videos btw

Except english is a Germanic language like german dutch swedish danish Norwegian and Icelandic. French is a Latin language like Spanish Portuguese Italian Sicilian and Romanian. England is more like a Scandinavian settlement. Seeing as the norman french were Scandinavians who spoke a dialect of french
@@thomashaapalainen4108 Yhea but it was inspired by old french (doc and doil languages)/vulgar latin.
I've researched and english is composed of 30% of old french, 30% vulgar latin (also imported from France) or so and 40% saxon I believe.
The normans were of french culture and bowed as vassals to the king of France.
They were nords who were "assimilated" into french culture (assimilation is an important word in France's History, even to this day in politics).
The germanic aspect of the english language is connected to everyday life and common things of the people, meaning as long as the vocabulary is ordinary or simple objects, you'd talk english perfectly fine just knowing german.
But, as latin and french were the language of the nobles and the monarchy and the King, it'd be a lot less riched language.
The British Monarchy also retains that aspect today of the french monarchy:
« Dieu et mon droit »
"honni soit qui mal y pense"
The hundred years war was a war between 2 french dynasties. And a civil war of course.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 That is total nonsense that is extremely biased towards France and is historically inaccurate.
The 100 years war was between the English plantagenets and the French Valois. The Plantagenets had been debased from France 200 years before and they became English. The Plantagenets took advantage of the Armagnac-Burgundian civil war to plunder and burn France andsend wealth and riches back home to England.
Also, the Normans were not French. The French themselves hated the Normans and called them a seperate race to them.
As for the French language. It's just a crappy version of Latin because Julius Caesar utterly dominated the Gauls and then German Franks invaded and dominated the Gauls again.

They weren’t all French . Besides two of your French kings were English
@@Valencetheshireman927
All Kings of France were French, basic principle of French history.
English at that time could not be king of France because:
1) they were French, not English.
2) They were not members of the Capetian Dynasty.
While All Kings of England were foreigners.
But you are not the only country created by French. The first king of Portugal for example, was French, a Capetian from Bourgogne.
so you should be happy to be part of the French former colonies.
The Normands = French
The Plantagenets = French
The Tudors = Welsh,
The Stuarts = Scottish,
The Orange-Nasau = Dutch,

@Ludovicius Magnus - “All kings of France were French , basic principle of French history .” What about King Henry the V who ruled most of France and although wasn’t crowned he still controlled the country for a while . He was born in Monmouth , Wales so are you telling me that he was French even though he was born in Wales and was the King of England ?
What about his son ,king Henry the 6th who WAS crowned the king of France , he was born in Windsor castle which is in England are you still going to tell me that both those men were French and that all monarchs of France were French ? Someone needs to improve their geography skills 😉!
English at that time could be considered kings of France because :
1- Exactly because of their French lineage . How does being French mean you can’t claim the French throne . Your logic of the English kings being French kinda contradicts itself there .
2- King Edward the third ( Who started the war his mother was of the Capetian dynasty which is why he claimed the throne of France in the first place . He had a bigger claim to the throne of France than House Valois did ! Not all kings of England were foreigners most of them were actually born in England even if their ancestors came from another country .
3- The fact that you think I should be happy at that prospect frankly disgust me . England was never w colony of France but the very thought of it is horrifying!
The Normans - Norman French
The Plantagenets - Yes but of French DESCENT not all of them were born in France.
The Tudors - Welsh
The Stuarts-Scottish
Orange - It was hardly a dynasty since the only Dutch king of England was William of Orange who fight jointly with his English wife , Mary .
The Windsors - The were first called the house of Hannover , then Saxe-Coburg Gotha and then finally Windsor . They were German but it’s foolish if you to think that they are Nazis when that’s not even a good conspiracy theory . There are rumours that Edward was pro-Nazi but even if that were true that doesn’t make the entire dynasty a house of Nazis as you seem to imply in other comments .
Tfw the narrator talks so well that the automatic translator works perfectly :D
9:18 The Hanoverians dropped the claim on France because they realized they had fought for 10 years to restore the Bourbons even while claiming the throne themselves and this is stupid. On the contrary, the Jacobite's kept claiming the French throne even while being harbored by the very throne they still nominally claimed.
House of York and House of Lancaster are all cadet branches of the House of Plantagenet.
So technically They should be Called
The House of Yorkist-Plantagenant and the House of Lancastrian-Plantagenant

MakaveliThaSavage Geography, ingenuity, skill and luck. Mainly geography though
Geography and luck is oversimplifying it a bit - eg the West frequently utilized pre-existing conflicts to gain a foothold, such as the Spanish who arrived in Peru to a civil war. War was costly on the Inca and once a victor was announced the Spanish held him ransom... then killed him when the ransom was paid, because of course they did 😂
We can make the same with France, Spain and more...
"Geography and luck" they played two of the smallest parts. The British Empire was just incredibly good at what they did and thats that.

Joan of Arc was not convicted of heresy for her visions, she was convicted of heresy for wearing male clothes. Made promise of not wearing male clothes again, and then "relapsing" by having the english guards remove all other clothing but male and as a relapsed heretic could then be sentenced to death as a heretic.
The court documents survives so it is quite an interesting read there was also a retrial in 1456 and even for the time her trial was deemed to be a complete farce and not in up to what medieval ecclesiastical law proscribed.
Its the 1430s style inquisition you'd think one could off someone using the legal standards at the time, but even for that time it was heavily criticized for being botched.

Edward III never "officially" dropped his claim to the French crown, which would be the loophole he and all subsequent English Monarchs until George III used keep styling themselves King/Queen of France.

"England is just French, because Normans are French!" 🙄 By the time of Henry the 2nd the "Normans" were integrating into England, even if French persisted as the court language.
@@reidparker1848 And your point is? Henry II wasn't Norman (even if his mother was a Norman princess). He is Angevin... from Anjou, France.... hence the name Angevin Empire to describe all his holdings. The House of Plantagenet is from Anjou... Henry II was born and raised in France and was a French lord who ruled over some French fiefs before he even became king of England. And even after that, he and later his sons Richard the Lionheart and John Lackland all spent most of their lives in France. How the hell are you going to claim your kings were English and had assimilated by the reign of Henry II when neither spent much of their time in England nor did he even speak English?! By all accounts, your own historical ones included, your royalty only became more and more English in nature after Philip II Augustus of France and his successors conquered most of the Angevin Empire, effectively only leaving their Plantagenet vassals Gascony as their last holding in France at the time of the Hundred Years' War as shown in this video at the beginning. It is only then that the kingdom of England itself became their priority as they lost their much wealthier French holdings. People don't seem to understand it but there is a reason the English kings so desperately tried to maintain their French possessions. The Duchy of Aquitaine (one of the French fiefs they ruled over) alone was wealthier than the Kingdom of England in the high middle ages.
@Eliot Thexton Nonsense considering France was nowhere near as unified as England was and many of the French fiefdoms thought on the Plantagenet side (for example Burgundy, Flanders, Gascony, Navarre and even Brittany at times fought on the side of England). The whole Lancastrian phase literally happened during the French civil between a pro-Armagnac France and a pro-Burgundian France, which sided with England until 1435. That's how feudalism worked. And in case you didn't remember the Black Plague halved the French population even before the end of the First phase of the Hundred Years' War (the Edwardian phase).

They got the idea from the Welsh, but it was very much mostly Englishmen who fought this war with their bows
After the battle of Crecy, the Black Prince was wandering around the battlefield when he came across a nobleman. He took his royal coronet as well as the motto to go along with it. The Nobleman was the King of Bohemia (who had had his horse tied to others because he was blind but didn't want to miss out on the action, google him) and the motto was 'I serve' or *Ich dien*, both motto and coronet are still used by The Prince of Wales today.
The Battle of Agincourt may be important, but I think the battleship HMS Agincourt is more notable for having fourteen heavy guns and making its own escorts feel that they were under attack.
The particularity of Azincourt is England broke the medieval war aggreement Killing nobles prisoners instead of ransomize. This shame has a prize . The english King lost all his allies in Western France ( Poitou, Normandy, Anjou, Britany). Sometimes a short time decision can give have a short time benefit but can be very bad in long time.
