Battle of Castillon, 1453 ️ The end of the Hundred Years' War

We smashed French many times after this batle ...always the enemy

Life insurance companies are not required to pay out a death claim if it's declared an act of war and some companies can contest a claim. I'm an agent, just thought I'd clear that up.

Advice: get with New York Life or Northwestern Mutual, they are the best, and if your investments don't include Whole Life Insurance with these companies, you're shooting yourself in the foot.

This time the French artillery had the same effect as English archery in Agencourt or Crecy.

Castillon and Formigny made Azinvourt as a poor victory. At Castillon, we literally eviscerate english army 😎

Stop saying English and French, it is House Plantagenet and House Valois, they are fighting over the whole of the Norman possessions in what is now continental France.

Danke!

Truly sad the English lost the 100 years war they were the based side (war criminals). At least they should have kept Normandy

Thanks!

This is the best history channel on You Tube. Your voice is great to listen to and you never bore me.

Excellent, as always. here's to the algorithm!

Bureau : "Say hello to my little friends"

The French strategy seems to have been clever. After splitting their army in three parts, the smallest section dug itself in a distance to the east of Talbot at Castillion, led by an artillery expert. This lured Talbot into making a rapid march to attack this section in detail. He surprised the French but he must have been in a great hurry to finish of the French entrenchment before the two other sections of the French army following from the west could catch up. This led to sloppy reconnoitring, asking tired man to attack and not double-checking that the French actually were retreating. Even when he discovered his multiple mistakes, Talbot continued on since he needed to finish of the entrenched French as soon as possible.There is an element here of psychological warfare aimed at pushing a seasoned commander into making hasty decisions.

A very clear explanation of a complex event - thank you.

What's the 1st song?

Great work !

What about the chunk of land of burgundy?

Stockholm Syndrome/Doppelganger Talbot was the best ally Imperial France ever had in England

Goes into great depth, love this mini-documentary/explanation of the battle

Can you please make a video about the third servile war

algorithme sacrifice

How exactly again this battle changed the world the way millvian brige and constantinople did or is it this again one of those anglo centri clips

The men are exhausted and hungry, and all of our support troops aren’t here. The French might be completely entrenched as it looks like we might have been wrong about them retreating. What should we do? Well, let’s just pretend like all their guns don’t exist and run up on them. Sounds like a great plan! What could possibly go wrong? 🤷‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Well my friend, im starting to figuer out all wars seem to be about nothing more than human sacrafice and profit.. once you realize this you really start to see its true

Thanks! wonderful

quite ironic that the man giving the english army in the final battle of the 100 years war their most crushing defeat was called bureau. And his main fighting skill was planing. He was a true bureau- crat and with his victory led us all into the golden age of bureaucracy! 🤣

For the algorithm

I like how the narrator perfectly pronounce French words.. I like how the narrator perfectly pronounce French words..

Nice video, well done

The constant mispronounciation of King Charles is nails on a chalk board.

Jfc

Can we get a better explanation for why a general with such experience made such a silly move as to attack a he’s ily entrenched position with inferior king of troops? Lol

But how much is a yard?

I hate how the narrator perfectly pronounces French words.

Exactly in same year, 3000 km at east, Ottomans had conquered Constantinople.
One may argue that it was a much more "history changing" event than the Battle of Castillon.

The same year that has fallen kostaninkpolis whitout any help. But the European paid their crimes suffering from the Turks at least 2 centurys. Here is paradise and the hell.

England obliterated, France restored

But a month(ish) before this battle’s start, Constantinople fell on May 29th, 1453 and thus ended the Eastern part of the Roman Empire and depending on who you ask, the entire empire by extension. A lot of important historic stuff was going on rn.

battle of castillon is one of the decisive battles in 100 years war. brilliant doc. love your docs. also we always appreciate your hard work and dedication towards these vids. a huge fan of you from Sri Lanka.

Talbot: "my forces are enough to take you down!"

Bureau: "Sorry, you don't meet the requirements of form 284-R that stipulates a successful besiegeing army needs to be at least three times bigger"

Thus, Bureaucracy was born, and it still destroys people's to this day.

This would make such a dope movie.

What music is at the beginning ?

vive la france!

Internal English struggles that led to the "War of the Roses" weakened England at home and in France......Just saying.

You can't change the course of History because if a thing happens, then anything that follows is not history even if the events of the future are impacted by the thing that happened. Nowhere in any historical reckoning is there a historical record that then changes to be something else. So if the author of this one states that historical events were changed by a present day event then his narrative is not to be trusted.

THx for the video, very instructive !!

Gironde is not a river. It's Garonne. Gironde is the confluence of Dordogne and Garonne

This video makes Talbot look STUPID! Maybe he was.

Jeez, one little mess up and you blow away a century (plus six years) of English legacy on the Continent. Nice going, Talbot. 😆
