My only gripe about this is Edward the confessor calling his mother "Mom", he would called her "Ma" or "Mutti".

ОтветитьOh look! Here comes Willie Bastard, and his Fitz.
ОтветитьKing Harold: "Under no circumstances do you pursue or move off this hill. Whatever reason you can think of to move, except by my order, is invalid and wrong."
Small Group of Soldiers: "A portion of the enemy flees! Let's pursue and move off the hill to take all the glory for ourselves!" (Slaughtered)
King Harold: "Stay here or that will happen to you."
Larger Group of Soldiers: "Those knights are falling back for while taunting 'Bet you can' t catch us on foot!' Let's pursue and move off this hill to take all the glory for ourselves! WE won' t be isolated, surrounded, and destroyed!" (Slaughtered)
Another Group of Soldiers: "Those fleeing knights that turned and killed our men are fleeing again! Let's pursue and move off this hill to take all the glory for ourselves!" (Slaughtered)
Those men killed themselves and deserved to die. Zero sympathy as ttey betrayed their home and people. The French knights at Nicopolis (1396), demanded to be in the vanguard in unfamiliar territory. Other soldiers experienced fighting Ottomans wanted to hog all the glory for themselves! With them in the van, THEY could hog all the glory and share none with lesser men! They were butchered and deserved it.
And we took England (I'm French...) 😁
ОтветитьThis might sound crazy however the Vernon man that fought in this war yh is my bloodline I kid you lot not lads…. Man said a Vernon married a woman not going to put my last name out there tho…. Richard Vernon son die in this war that’s my bloodline wild init
ОтветитьHarold Godwinson would have been a king titled with 'the great' if he didn't fall victim to a freak accident.
ОтветитьAh the battle that turned Saxon England into modern England.
ОтветитьFor the past 300 years England has bashed France so hard it made their monarchy go extinct and we defeated, arrested and killed off their beloved little man Napoleon. Then for the past 100 years the Anglophonic sphere has completely wiped French culture off the map and English has become the international language. This hurts and pains the French so much they have to go 1000 years back in time to kidnap Norman nobles to feel better about themselves. 😅😂😅
ОтветитьHonestly i still dont think williams victory was one of better tactics but rather hadradas troops being overvigilent. I think id hadrada had marched against williams lines his victory would be certain. However william had fate on his side
ОтветитьNot Hastings but real site was at Crowhurst
ОтветитьYou know.. just within this short video, there is a ton of coordination and correspondence going on. How the hell did they manage without any real technology. Imagine having to find some dude in Hungary that's been in exile for 40 years? How the fuck does that happen 😂😂
ОтветитьWilliam Conqueror save England from Scotland on 527 years.Victorious Harald Hardrada and Harold II Godwinson died in 1074 and 1076 respectively from flu and cancer.If Harold II Godwison killed 8,000 Normans and William Conqueror and he lost 1500 Anglo-Saxons killed.Scotland conquest England dynastically in 1076 after death Harold II Godwinson.This on 527 years ahead of James VI of Scotland in 1603 when he became King of England thanks to dynastically conqueror of England.
Ответитьheyy what apps do you use to make the videos?
ОтветитьWe can trace my dna to this battle and we’re my family got our last name Ayer’s for prying the crushed helmet off William the conquerors head
ОтветитьLove the old names, the feeble, the simple, long shanks, was there ever "the big c*ck"? 😂
I mostly watch to see the swords and boxes disappear 😅
i'm having ck3 flashbacks
ОтветитьI’ve been here 💪🏻
ОтветитьYou need to read up on your history! The Norse raiders were Danes and Swedes from southern Sweden. The DNA research has for a log time documented that the Norwegians stayed at home. Also, the Danish settlers has since the turn of the 10th century established the Dane Law areas of England, proving that England was under Danish influence, and not Norwegian. Sincerely, the Historian!
ОтветитьHarold “I should be king because somebody back then once promised my relative land when he died” Hardrada. What an asshole!
ОтветитьThe next part should be the harrying of the north and William having to solidify his reign in England.
ОтветитьCHOWDHURY TITLE ACHIEVED BY THIS BATTLE OF NORMAN CONQUEST
ОтветитьGreat video. One of the best on the topic.
ОтветитьI enjoy learning British historic battles. Thank you for posting these. Do you have plans to post the Battle of Bosworth anytime soon? Or you do have it posted?
ОтветитьVery well done👍🏻👍🏻Greetings from Germany ✌🏻😎
ОтветитьThere exists no such place as fransia.
ОтветитьAnd a lot of the Anglo Saxons went on to the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire after their loss at Hastings
ОтветитьCan we get something on the Norman's in other lands? Like Sicily and the Holy Land?
ОтветитьEn fait avec les anglais on s’est fait la guerre pendant 1000 ans, c’est peut-être un record mondial
ОтветитьThe Norman-French blend with Anglo-Saxon did not create Modern English; it created Middle English. The Modern English period would not begin for a few centuries to come.
ОтветитьPeople glorify William. His territorial ambitions didn’t stop at England as we know. He was merciless in his repression of English resistance and he seemed very much an imposed monarchy vs a welcomed or a reasonable in claim one. As such it and all descendants has no real legitimacy.
Ответитьthis is quality content.
ОтветитьImpossible playthrough on CK3
ОтветитьVery informative. I do find it hard to believe that troops broke the line. This seems a strange thing to do when you are having success behind the shield wall.
I do wonder about the reality of how this battle was won by the Normans and I also find the account of how Harold died questionable.
I think that Harold may have been killed by treachery in his own ranks.
But history is written by the victors and William the Conqueror is a better title than William the Sneaky git.
To be fair against that army, with a majority fyrd army after marching down the country after a recent battle, Harold could have done worse....should have waited for more troops and tried to burn their boats and cut their supplies but not bad mate
ОтветитьAnyone else play the browser game 1066? It was pretty good and showed all 3 combatants
ОтветитьI demand reparations from the French for the loss of my Anglo-Saxon cultural heritage.
ОтветитьAh Harold, the last true English king
ОтветитьIt didn't work the first time, let's do it again!
ОтветитьFantastic video!
Slight correction though, William didn't begin the Plantagenet dynasty, he began the Norman dynasty. The Plantagenet dynasty was started by Henry II in 1154, William's great-grandson through his grand-daughter, Empress Matilda.
Edward just wanted to play 'Pull my finger' one last time with Harold
ОтветитьMy ancestor, Richard Coffyn, fought in this battle.
Ответить25th December in 1066 wasn't exactly Christmas....it was just 25th December
ОтветитьApparently my descendants fought in this battle and ended up with tons of land and castles pretty cool.
Ответить"guys guys.....if we win, we get Hastings! Awesome right? Clubs, bars and girls er'rywhere"
ОтветитьBeyond being a great commander, William just seemed to always have good luck. Not any huge luck mind you, but those unfavorable winds that delayed him were extremely helpful since Harold had to put down an invasion in the mean time, which bled and exhausted his army. Harold really never stood a chance.
ОтветитьThe Anglo-Saxons would have done MUCH BETTER if they had not just marched a few hundred kilometers after defeating a PRIOR invasion in the North Country.
ОтветитьThe Anglo Saxon monarchy worked under a different philosophy from that of the Normans. While the Anglo Saxon monarchy was part of the social construct of England, the Norman monarchy was forced upon it. Land belonging to the Anglo Saxon nobility was confiscated as that nobility was dissolved and replaced by a new Norman one. Castles as mentioned were built, but not so much to protect from invaders, but to protect Normans from the newly conquered inhabitants simply because the Normans were not kindly overlords nor were they exactly welcome intruders. England received it's truly marked and stratified class system due primarily through this invasion. Even language was a barrier with french being the language of the court for centuries after Hastings.
