    🚩 Since Henry V invaded France in 1415, England conquered a large part of northern France, and by 1428 they were besieging the city of Orleans. In this dark hour, France's fortunes were transformed by the inspirational leadership of a young woman, Jeanne d'Arc. The fight back was on!

      Her life in general is one big YA novel:
      The kingdom has been defeated by an invading enemy over and over, their most powerful lord has betrayed them, and they can't even crown the new king because the sacred site is deep behind enemy lines. Then Joan - a teenage peasant girl with no money, titles or military knowledge - arrives at the un-crowned king's court and tells everybody she has a vision from God telling her how to save the kingdom.
      They're either convinced or desperate enough to kit her out and send her to relieve a city under siege... where she rallies the defenders and wins the battle, then fights all the way to the sacred site and sees the king crowned, and then later her death inspires the kingdom to drive out the invaders altogether.
      The only thing missing is the random love triangle between an arrogant tsundere prince and a peasant boy from her village.

    The morale Joan gave to the french can’t be overestimated, her victories reignited the french morale and caused the already bickering English nobility into further chaos.
    Also the consistent poor leadership in this period is laughable- when man power, particularly England’s professional troops, were low they were still wasted in multiple areas- some men even went to fight in the Hussite wars during this period.

It was a system that divided the army into Corps, each of which could march, forage and fight independently (i.e. had its own infantry, cavalry and artillery detachments, as well as its own logistical capabilities). Charles' use of the French army in 1428 is incomparable to Napoleon's Corps system in 1805.
      Exerpt from Wiki: Corps replaced divisions as the largest army units, mobile artillery was integrated into reserve batteries, the staff system became more fluid, and cavalry *returned* as an important formation in French military doctrine.

      There's nothing wrong with saying "English nobility" when they were the nobles ruling England. The Normans weren't some interlopers who conquered England and were evicted. They conquered England in 1066 and the last rebellion to oppose it was in 1071. By the time of the 100 years war, they had ruled England for 266 years.
      England started the 100 years war. That's a historic fact. It's not as if France started it. Anyone who knows a bit about the time period knows the complex reasons for the conflict.

    Imagine you are John, Duke of Bedford. You are the English regent, and after the passing of your brother, King Henry V, you've taken the reins of the war, winning victory after victory against the French. Orléans is the key to the south; if it falls, the war is as good as won. You've been sieging the place for 6 months now, and you're positively certain it's about to fall. You've gone so far as to jeopardize your alliance with Burgundy over it, that's how sure you are of your success. Soon, your late brother's dream of an unified Kingdom of France and England, spanning from Provence to Cumbria, will finally be realized, and your name will be remember among the greatest conquerors of all time.
    And then some insane fanatical tomboy just shows up one day, starts screaming in the general direction of your army, and somehow nine days later this siege you've been conducting for half a year completely collapses and you lose half your men and one of your best generals. And just to add salt to the wound, the tomboy then ends up becoming a legend people still talk about centuries later, while you are mostly relegated to the footnotes of history.

    • @RayB1656
      @RayB1656 9 місяців тому +1

      Untrue !
      Jehanne la Pucelle was not insane fanatical tomboy
      and she didn't ''just showed up'' ! Exactly the opposite.
      All this started in 1428, she was recruited by Yolande d'Anjou,
      playing that Merlin prophecy , well known during the 15th century ;
      a young woman to come from the far away borders to save a country
      from a nasty invader !
      She was not ''screaming'' on the battlefield,
      screaming on a battleground with 5000 troops is totally illogical ,
      second , she had no connection with the men at arms, the mercenaries or archers. Only with the various military leaders.
      It took more than a year to bring all the supplies (paid by Yolande d'Anjou)
      to Blois and in March/April 1429, then they were transferred to Orléans ,
      end of April using the Loire for transportation.
      The Scots were already there.
      It does appears that Jehanne just showed up, in reality this Orléans' operation
      was in action behind the scene, months before !
      When the English realized that Orléans had become a military center, compared to the previous year, they simply left !!
      When Jehanne la Pucelle died in 1431, she was forgotten ,
      even Regnault de Chartres and George de LaTrémoulle advised Charles to distance himself from Jehanne' memory.
      Why ?
      The English were saying out loud that Charles VII had obtained the crown
      using an heretic woman and therefore, his coronation was invalid !
      Charles VII used the Rehabilitation Trial to deflect the English claim !
      This political story, that nasty struggle between two royal families including the Burgundians , became a ''religious story '' about 1840.
      That is why the Roman Catholic Paris Church requested in 1879 , not before,
      the application for the Maid of Orléans, ( her new name ) for sainthood .
      Why in 1879 ?
      You answer is there !!

    Joan offers an example of how much power the simple notion of hope has in battle. or, as someone wisely said it: "A man who thinks he's going to die can usually find a way to do so." Joan's message, that the French still had a chance to prevail, was what the men of France needed to hear, and the English treatment of her once she was captured solidified their resolve to win the war for The Maid who had died for them.

    Joan of Arc was not, as is often said, a poor shepherdess tending sheep (although she must have kept some as a little girl). But the daughter of a "relatively" wealthy family.
    For superstitious people of the Middle Ages, to see a 17-year-old girl cross Burgundy allied with the English, succeed in obtaining an interview with the Dauphin, obtain armour, sword, horses, lead "or more exactly co-lead an army", just before her arrival a random shot that kills the English leader, a crossbow bolt in the throat that only puts her out of action for a few hours....
    Inevitably she was a divine envoy and God was truly on France's side.
    No doubt it really boosts morale.

      I was about to comment on that. Although the difference may be lost to most modern viewers, she was not a peasant's daughter, but the child of a free farmer, working his own land. The fact that (part of) her ancestral house is still standing is testament to the fact that she was not born into a hovel. Remember that farming was the principal means of existence in the MAs. A knight's mansion was a fortified farmhouse. A count was a 'lord farmer'. It was only the Dukes who were primarily army commanders.
      Compare the difference to that between a wage-slave and an entrepreneur. Even at equal skill levels, the first has, at best, responsibilities, to his family, to his lord, and to God; the latter has authority over his own land and actions.
      Which is quite a difference in upbringing.

      Jehanne la Pucelle, a woman , not a girl
      received a flesh wound on the side of the neck from an English bodkin pin arrowhead.
      At the time , she was behind a protective wooden fence at the base of the fortress wall, with a group which were protecting the soldiers (with their swords), has they were climbing the walls using wooden ladders.
      She was moved to the main camp and a clay with honey and meat was applied to stop the infection .
      She returned after a few hours of rest.
      She was also tired and not fighting, since the previous night she had stepped on a metal pitfall ,
      she was painfully limping !
      In 1429, a shot in the throat would have been fatal , death in a very short moment !

    I'm happy it seems you've planned to make a video on the Loire campaign, without which the victory at Orleans wouldn't have the same meaning!

    To be precise :
    A detail but Saint James is pronounced Saint "Jame", the "S" is silent. That the north-western french version of Jacques (Jacob - Jacobus in Latin). The name James in english comes from directly from that version, since a lot of Britons were in William the Conqueror army.
    "La Hire" (The Anger) is pronounced La "eer".
    But thank you for all of your efforts to try to pronounce french names correctly in all your videos. As a french viewer, I do appreciate that!
    Also, Joan of Arc didn't heard some vague voices or dreams but according to her, had clear visions of Saint Catherine, Marguerite and Saint Michel (patron Saint of France), giving her three tasks :
    - liberating Orléans
    - crowning Charles VII
    - liberating the Duke of Orléans
    For the record, Joan convinced Charles VII to trust her after a one-to-one meeting, the details of which are unfortunately unknown (undoubtedly one of the greatest mysteries of French history). In any case, it would appear that Joan reassured Charles VII that he was not a bastard. His mother had declared that Charles VII was a bastard, which undermined the king's self-confidence.
    Joan was also Queen of France for a few minutes. Indeed, there was an episode known as the "triple donation". Joan asked Charles VII to give her the Kingdom of France, which he did. Then Joan declared that she was giving the Kingdom to Christ, who then gave it back to Charles through Joan. All of these acts were notarised. So Charles no longer had any doubts about his legitimacy before God. So, technically, Joan was officialy Queen of France for few minutes!
    Joan of Arc history is quite an unbelievable one! It lasted only two years but it left an eternal mark on French history and French minds!

    Dear History March team,😊😊
    I have been an avid viewer of your channel for quite some time, and I want to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible documentaries you create. Your dedication to bringing history to life is truly commendable.
    I have a suggestion for a documentary that I believe would captivate your audience's attention and shed light on a pivotal moment in history - the Imjin War and the Battle of Myeongnyang. This remarkable event, led by Admiral Yi Sun-sin, holds a wealth of intriguing stories and strategic brilliance that deserve to be shared with the world.
    Admiral Yi Sun-sin's astonishing victory against a formidable Japanese navy, with only 13 ships under his command, is a testament to his unwavering determination, ingenious tactics, and unparalleled leadership. Exploring the tactics he employed, the challenges he overcame, and the indomitable spirit of his crew would not only provide a gripping narrative but also offer valuable insights into the art of warfare and leadership.
    By delving into this remarkable historical event, you would not only educate your viewers about a lesser-known aspect of history but also inspire them with the resilience of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and his brave sailors. The story of the Battle of Myeongnyang is a shining example of how courage, strategic thinking, and resourcefulness can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.
    I believe that your talented team has the expertise to bring this story to life in a compelling and informative manner. Your dedication to historical accuracy and engaging storytelling would undoubtedly do justice to the significance of this event.
    Thank you for considering my suggestion. I eagerly await the possibility of seeing a History March documentary that explores the awe-inspiring triumph of Admiral Yi Sun-sin and the Battle of Myeongnyang.😊😊

      If you ask today the French people what region Joan of Arc came from, 90% will tell you she was Lorraine since Domremy, her native village, is today located in Lorraine. In fact Joan of Arc was from the County of Barrois, a region extending around the town of Bar-le-Duc, which at that time was absolutly not part of Duchy of Burgundy, although regularly threatened or invaded by English and Burgundians. However the County of Barrois continued throughout the conflict to remain loyal to the Kingdom of France.

    Very good video, but there is a big mistake on the map : the city of Lille was part of the duchy of Burgundy and in fact one of its economic and political capital. It was considered by the Burgundese dukes as one of their safest strongholds and when John the Fearless murdered Louis of Orleans, that's where he rode to safety.

    Now I have a pretty good idea of the troubles the English were going through before Joan of Arc came onto the scene. Great video. I liked it a lot.

    I find it hard to beleive that she took a crossbow to the throat and kept on fighting the next day. Perhaps the arrow grazed her neck or hit the shoulder as in Luc Bessons movie...

      yep probably only grazed her ,since it missed both artery's and the throat and considering it did not get infected , people at that time didnt have antibiotics , so if anything happened to you all you did is die, it was so bad people dies of diarrhea regularly

      Not sure what you are talking about. I was just asking for a series on Burgundian history done in the same style as the 100 years war.
