I'm afraid this is quite innaccurate. The definitive books on Bannockburn are written by William Scott. His superbly researched work shows how a large Scottish army won in a battle which took place in the Carse of Balqhuideroch between the Bannockburn and Pelstream Burn where the English camped overnight. The Scots descended onto the Carse in the early hours of the morning from the Dryfield to take the English by surprise and close off the half-mile gap between the burns to avoid being outflanked. After the hasty charge of the surprised English cavalry was absorbed by the approximately 12 ranks of pikemen drawn across the carse, the English archers, behind their own cavalry, were nullified and were ordered to stop trying to fire over their own cavalry as they were hitting their own horsemen. Meanwhile the Scottish archers couldcomfortably fire over their own pikemen into the English. There was no Scottish cavalry involvement at Bannockburn.

I assume this documentary was made using the Total War game engine?

im curious if the bridge was narrow enough that one man was able to hold it why didnt the vikings just bottleneck it until the reinforcements arrived?

VO is setting my "AI radar" off

The Scottish phalanx-like pike tactics were very effective against cavalry.

If Harold's troop had not broke rank then William might have been beat.

You can see where the Crusaders got their ideas from.

Sir Rhys ap Thomas from Wales delivered Henry's death blow, not a " common foot soldier ".

The English are descended from the French and the Germans so I don’t get the hostility towards those two countries….

That animation was laughably bad.

Archers?

Why are you calling them Saxons? The Land they`re defending should give you an idea of their name - England and English, just like today.

Imagine if war was still fought like this today, on foot & horseback with swords and arrows. Let’s pretend technology advanced everywhere except in weaponry. This allowed us to watch these battles streamed live in HD.

It’s a fascinating outcome! Had Harold Not broken through line, the outcome made have been different. The changes were the MOST significant change to British history! Have visited Battlefield & toured. British language, customs, traditions, buildings all changed after William won. York was torched & William built the first Tower of London.

Harold's forces were NOT fresh. They had just marched south from another battle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings

Pressing these events into 16 minutes makes the head spin.

Great video, deserves more views and subs

Will you make a video on the English Crécy or Agincourt, such as the battle of Patay (1429) or Castillon (1453)? These were decisive French victories which decimated the English archers and allowed France to triumph in the Hundred Years' War.

2:23 It's pronounces "Scoon"

Well done!

Damn that pronunciation...!!

Super nice video!

Fuck the Tudor Dynasty! They've ruined England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 forever, thanks to that fat glutton Heretic Henry VIII!

This great video ends with a spelling error.

Pride is a hell of a thing, it breeds arrogance, especially when you outnumber your foe. The French had a lot of nobility, and Prince's of the realm present at Agincourt, all commanding men, all wanting to prove a point. I imagine that there was an air of thought that the mostly peasant Army of England arrayed against them was beneath them, the English made them pay for it. A story written many times in history since before and after the Romans first learned at Cannae. Agincourt is quite possible to be the greatest English victory over the French, certainly at the time and perhaps still so to this day, for what it entailed. The outcome at Agincourt, and fallout thereafter, essentially won King Henry V of England the French crown. Had Henry V not died young, 2 months before the French King Charles VI, an English King, with his French Queen and their children, would have ruled, for the first time in history, a United Kingdom of England and France under a single unified monarchy.

"Ich Dien" - Edward, Prince Of Wales, Crecy 1346

You are going to follow that warrior king anywhere. After what he did to that English Knight.

The book the archer’s tale by Bernard Cornwell describes this battle perfectly. Incredible book and incredible battle

Can you make the same of the revenge of the French in the battles io patay a ND castillon

Been watching history on here for many years and YT just now recommended one of your videos to me. What a pleasure to watch, animation is incredible and you narrate very well. Subbed and bell on, heading to your main page to watch more videos!

A teenager that had been raised to be a knight and trained by the best masters since he could walk

Seems like a waste a time due to whats happening in Europe lol

Booming voice? Robert the bruce could have sounded like gilbert gotfried for all we know.

the animations feel like they was done by the guy who made "death of hope" for warhammer

The Black Prince grew up to be a massive chad with a massive pair of spurs

Men gave their lives to ensure Europe would never be Muslim, only for our modern political class to let these cockroaches in freely by the millions.

That was good. But it is pronounced lowdon hill (loudoun). Not loodon.

Good Graphics, despite several historical errors, such as my Ancestor James Douglas' daring advance upon the flanks of the English forces, the freeman's advance from the town in relief of the tiring Scots and white clad Templar survivors who ixed in with the common folk and led a secondary charge against the routed King and his beaten army.

English Longbowmen? A large part of those combatants were Welsh Longbowmen! Surely 'MODERN' terminology, to be fair and more accurate should describe these supremely effective Archers as 'THE BRITISH LOGBOWMEN'! (You can see why I am somewhat irritated by the term 'English bowmen' from my KZbin name! Cymru Am Byth!

Yer full a shite Wallace was betrayed by one of our own 👊

Can you please put an Narrator, whos English can be understand . Most of the Video i cant understand. Thumb down.

GOT MY SUB! 🔥🇫🇯

Bravo Sir. Fantastic video. I visited Edward's tomb in Canterbury Cathedral. What an amazing warrior he was. Cast you minds back to being 16 and imagine what he saw/did.
