This channel is way too underrated. This topic is really interesting and very niche, and this is a fascinating period of history but unfortunately there isn't enough good presentation of it in such a format. Thanks for making these, they're amazing. Hope you cover more events from the middle ages.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment. I definitely plan on continuing to make videos on the Middle Ages. It is my favorite period to study. More is yet to come!

You are surely one of the few to name the different regions, Counties and Duchies in feudal logic, where others are content to speak of France, England or Germany as if it were today .

Interesting fact: the most recent research by historians such as Dominique Barthélémy assumes for a number of reasons that the troops were not lined up in battle order as we see in the representations. In reality, period sources tell us of arrivals in small quantities. The entire army had to cross the bridge again. First of all, the French rear guard is attacked. She gradually receives reinforcements of infantrymen and knights This is what the chroniclers of the time call "the right wing" A remaining part of the army (the main knights of the king and the sovereign himself as well as a large quantity of pedestrians) arrive next, which will constitute a large left wing There are troops who simply have not arrived. Having represented the army in battle order is quite simply a vision of the people of the 19th century to correspond to their ideas, without having analyzed the conditions of the battle, the stories...

Exactly. Medieval warfare just didn’t work that way. People imagine they just constantly fought each other in LOTR-esque epic battles, but in reality, most of medieval war consisted of skirmishes, raids, and sieges throughout the countryside. That’s also why medieval wars are much more destructive since they did not concentrate the fighting in one relatively small battle field, violence occurred on a much wider scale throughout the entire territory in question.

0:47 why does a 14-year-old have a full grown beard?

[@amadbiscuit]

Testosterone levels have been declining in men for almost a century. If we extrapolate this trend back to medieval times, for all we know, the average medieval 14 year old may have been Arnold Schwarzenegger compared to today.

Ty! I thought it was just weird medieval art styles

[@rmp7400]

Would already make a noticeable difference if big city dwellers stopped drinking & cooking with the arsenic, fluoride & estrogene-infused tap water... 🤔

[@RestitutorEuropa]

@@amadbiscuit Testosterone isn’t the only factor in beard growth, in fact it’s only indirectly related.
