Quick public update regarding ad integrations: a few people (not very many tbh) have voiced their annoyance about spnsored content, so we want to address this here. In many ways we understand that position, after all we watch UA-cam content ourselves and ad integrations can be annoying. However, it's another story from the creator perspective. So quick answer: what every UA-camr ever said is pretty much true. With our amount of clicks you won't earn enough to make a living just by UA-cam ads. Long answer: Even including sponsorings, we currently earn about half of what we would get if we would just work in a standard office job - but work much much more hours (including university and other jobs there's pretty much no week in which we don't work 7 days, normally more than 9 hours a day). This includes the earnings from our German channel btw. All in all, we think integrations are kinda good for everybody because we can only deliver quality content for the long term (both in terms of research and visual presentation) if we earn enough money. Sponsorings / Patreon guarantees that we still earn enough money in months in which the algorithm doesn't give us any love. And lastly, part of our problem is that Switzerland is an expensive place to live. Regarding what we recommend our policy is (and has been) that we recommend products that we actually think are valuable to our viewers. That can be stuff we like, things we assume might interest a minor portion of the viewership, or that might have significant overlap with the military history niche. What everybody seems to forget when discussing this topics is that if you limit yourself to only one or two products, you will have a diminishing return from recommending it, which will lead the brand to think you're not an ideal partner anymore. In the end you will have to recommend a variety of products to remain a desired partner. TL;DR: we don't make enough money without sponsorings, so don't expect anything to change regarding ads. To everybody who supported us, comments, likes and all that stuff: our most cordial thanks, it's so gratifying to see that many of you think highly of our content. Cheers, Sandro & Roman
*_A soldiers life, in the pike and shot era, was rough._* Immediately a poor soldier gets obliterated by multiple lightning strikes while his fellow soldiers just watch without caring. 😅
This might be my favourite history channel, equal to invicta which us classic. I like kings and generals but the amount of historian info and texts from the epoque you guys put into ur vidoes are giving it much more merit value. Thank u for your work!
@Jo "You can literally read all about an event they're covering on a wikipedia page" Can't you do that about any even remotely famous historical event covered by any history channel out there? You can read on wikipedia about the siege of Vienna, army of Gustavus Adolphus and the tercio, all topics which sandrhoman himself went over. You can read about any battle in history on wikipedia in general, does that make say, historia civilis or historymarche bad? It doesn't, and K&G whatever you might think of them do their research, I can remember at least 5 occasions at the top of my head where they quoted famous historians they are using as their sources. One thing is to say you don't think fancy K&G, but you are hating on them outright for no reason.
also, not to mention, whilst wikipedia is far more accurate than what teachers make it out to be, it is still not a very good source on topics which are very divisive and controversial, and normally it will just end up going for whichever is the most widely accepted answer, not exactly what is closest to the reality. This is by the very nature of the site being able to be edited by anyone, being that it will usually go with the answer most accepted, even if outdated or wrong, unfortunately.@@ghostrider.49
@@SandRhomanHistory great! I try to write realistic campaigns and settings for roleplaying games so your videos are hugely useful as well as educational and entertaining.
Yes, material on life outside of battle is valuable context. Soldiers' unwillingness to dig and build like ancient Roman legions is obviously very important to how an army would conduct a siege.
Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that this content is FREE. The amount of effort and quality in these vídeos are surreal. People shouldn’t be complaining about the ads, fr. Instead we should thank the team thats behind this awsome channel for bringing to us entretainment and also knowledge.
Good to see how Camp Life/Community broadened the experience of Soldiers. Adds some meaning to instances where the baggage trains, camps were plundered or overrun.
@@baddoopey Yeah, it appears it came from the Royal Navy, although, judging from this video it already existed earlier, in a slightly different meaning. Fun fact: speaking of weird, gunnery-related etymologies, in Polish there is a word 'flejtuch', which colloquially means an untidy, dirty person but originally meant the piece of cloth used as a wadding for muzzleloaders. It comes from a German phrase 'fliegen Tuch', literally 'flaying cloth', as the wadding was flaying out of the barrel with the bullet/canon ball. :)
The level of detail and the quality of the information, is like no other in UA-cam. Also, the art style and ilustracions are like a small window into the past. The expirience when whatching this videos is trully outstanding.
I love the juxtaposition of it being "hard times in the camp" with a jovial chef carrying a large pot of food with an affectionate cat. I would love to see more of this series. And all of your other topics, too. Thank you for this channel!
I watch this channel quite regulary, but i need to say that this is one of my most favourite videos as of yet. Nothing against the staggering sieges, those are interesting stories that are always fascinating to listen to. But as a roleplayer and larper, i enjoy to learn how life back then really was. Under this circumstance, this most recent video or e.g. the video about powdermills are just what i could wish for. Thank you for the awesome presentation and preparation!
Im glad you guys are doing this series. I love all the military stuff, but the odd minutiae of the time is what gives it its own flavor, and knowing how they lived and why it was like that is how we find out about it. Plus, you're like the only ones who do the Early Modern period, and I'm very happy you're good at it.
Please do more of this series! I've been looking for this type and depth of information since I was a kid, no other source I've found has presented it so well or so thoroughly.
There are a lot of top history channels on YT with a lot of content. But this one is quite unique in content and delivery which is not only insightful but very refreshing. Never mediocre, always top notch and always gives perspective on the rank-and-file. For that, a suggest Sand video is a clicked video.
It is a great series. I am beginning to be fascinated by this period. I am currently reading 'The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road 1567-1659' by Geoffrey Parker. Please keep up the great work!
I love more mundane aspects of history, so a similar series of videos would be very much welcomed. Regarding the ads, I myself have no trouble with the sponsorships, I know academic life is though (and living in Switzerland doesn't help) and this is a very niche content to live off ads. If I could I would happily donate to Patreon, the quality of your videos, and the time you must spend doing the rearch, is worth it.
I often participate in historical reeactment events of this period (especially 17th century) and our camp life is so far from this real look. Of course, for us it's entertainment, we can meet, sit about the fire, sing and drink a lot of alcohol. And a lot of women made this all things which made these women from the history - they cook, repair clothes etc. Of course they don't sell sex, but few women I know made a table that one of their tent is a camp borthel (not real, only for better historical view of camp). But there are sometimes moments when you really can feel as people in 16th/17th century - when came rain or storm which can be danger and you have only this what you have in the tent.
Has anyone else been inventing names for reappearing art assets? Like say, calling a particular image of a soldier 'Thomas' or 'Jeff' This sort of game within the video leads to some fun for me personally, it's silly and I love it :P
Can you perhaps make a video on the Stradioti mercenaries one day? They were a significant factor in the evolution of cavalry during the early modern period and are very underrepresented.
@@gon4455 The Holy Roman Empire, along with most of Europe at the time, had sumptuary laws that dictated (or at least, tried to dictate) what people could and couldn't wear based on their social class. Emperor Maximilian I granted the Landsknechts exemptions from these sumptuary laws because their lives were "brutish and short." It was a way to flaunt their independence and special status, like showing up to an office meeting wearing booty shorts and a 420 shirt.
This was one of the most informative and interesting videos you ever made. I like the battle videos but I like learning about the general life and things related to it much, much more.
I love all of these videos that are more about general society and stuff rather than battle and wars. It's great to really get a sense of what life was like in this period.
Great video. Will you be making a video about billeting? It was a practice that a lot of civilians during the Early Modern period hated, but I am curious about the specifics.
Maybe yeah, Showalter writes a bit about it but besides that we haven't seen much to read (we haven't look that hard yet tbh). From Showalter's text it seems it became popular later on in the period, so we'll have to see whether we find artwork and literature on it but yeah we definitely thought about it. Probably the video would cover the relation between soldiers and civilians.
@@SandRhomanHistory Thanks for the reply. I thought it was a feature of the later Pike & Shot era. From what I understand it was very common during the English Civil War but I'm unsure how widespread it would've been on the continent at roughly the same time.
So, hey. Being a 'Woman of the Night' myself, I really appreciated the depth you went into on the subject of women's role in camp life. Love watching these videos, either way but it's interesting to hear about how varied socially acceptable roles can be and how a synoptic understanding of the period could be misleading. Also, I've been researching Joan of Arc lately and would love to see some depth on the battles she was involved in, though I am certain she wouldn't approve of my lifestyle. My understanding is she didn't actually fight, though was often in the thick of combat, I'd love to hear an unbiased take on what her involvement was. Thanks for the fascinating explorations of the minutia of early modern warfare, I love to bore my friends with them.
I would love to cover Joan of Arc at some point (some good sieges there as well :P ) If we cover her story, it will be way off though, for now. Generally, I think it will be a very difficult subject though; already in the time of her life she was glorified by some and hated by others. The writing about her will prove difficult for sure. If you want to know more about women of the night in the early modern period then read about a woman called "Entgen aus Euskirchen". Well, you need to read it in German I think, I just checked and there is nothing on her in English I think. We will cover her story at some point (Roman is reading about her at the moment); it's one of the few cases that we know some details about a woman in that period (where she comes from, what she did, how she ended up in various baggage trains, when and with whom she traveled (another woman who introduced her to earn her money commercially from time to time. She made quite the journey as well, very interesting case.
Well, I do have quite a lot of Apocalypse yet to do but I'm not sure I'll be able to squeeze another language onto my plate.. but then I keep saying that and finding new letters I like writing. Either way, I'll be looking forward to both and see if I can find some coins drenched in sin to help the process.
Excellent series, hope to see much more of the same, really fascinating. The graphics are brilliant and add a real charm and character to the history ⚔👍
@@wiseSYW yeah but the standard varied between countries as well and generally it wasn't until during and after the 30 years war and English civil war when countries started to issue standareized uniforms and equipment
SandRhoman, I am sorry I had to stop being a patreon but I am going back to school for my master's and PhD (hopefully). I still love your content. Keep creating.
So many question! What's happen for the camp follower if they are in the losing side? Do they treat it as momentary job or do it for the life time (in the camp)? Can they switch sides or can join the other camp? How they organized the logistic for non soldier? What kind of law do the followed, military, civilian ? How about Spy? Can non combatant became a combatant either by voluntary or circumstance? Is there a inheritance?

Thanks for this quality documentary 🙏

Good episode on an interesting topic! Please keep 'em coming! What did typical rules/laws look like in such camp? What were the punishments like?
Yeah, i wold love to know more about everyday stuff of that era, such thing are too often overlooked or completely forgotten from common knowledge.

Camp life....
So many question! What's happen for the camp follower if they are in the losing side? Do they treat it as momentary job or do it for the life time (in the camp)?
