I knew Gascony was an important wine making and trading area, but didn't know how critical it was to England. I always thought it was Edward's aggressive pursuit of his right to the French throne that triggered the long war.

[@wedgeantillies66]

Edward III, doesn't declare himself King of France until 1340, with a prociamation read out in the centre of Ghent market place which he only does in order to give his French allies in Flanders, Gascony and across France, legality of serving their rightful king instead of being traitors by turning against Philip.

[@derrickstorm6976]

First time ever i hear of how critical Gasgony was to England, it almost makes sense why you would wage war for a century; it began with the threat of entirely cripling England itself and not just with redrawing lines on a map that's the norm

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

I'd heard that Gascony was valuable (mostly in reference to Eleanor of Aquitaine), but never how much it contributed relative to the overall treasury.

[@robert-surcouf]

Most of royal tresure came from wine trade with Gascony. Edouard 3 has never been the rightful heir to Charles 4 but use his claim as a pretext

[@IronWarrior86]

[@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167]

Caroline is skipped over because there were no big battles involving kings. That's just the way of it (history).

[@robert-surcouf]

@@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167 Cadzand or the 1355 chevauchées don't involve kings but the channels still did it. If the Caroline phase don't involve kings, it's because Edward 3 was too old and Richard 2 too young on the Plantagenet side while on the Valois side, Charles 5 use the Fabian strategy and let skilful commanders lead armies in battle and Charles 6 was also too young. There's still big battles and events (without kings): Edward 3 chevauchée 1359-1360 Cocherel 1364 : 1500 Valois vs 5000 Plantagenet Montiel 1369 : 15000 Plantagenet vs less Valois Knolles chevauchée and Pontvallain 1370 : 5000 men on each sides La Rochelle 1372 : 20 Valois ships vs 50 Plantagenet ships John of Gaunt 1373 chevauchée Thomas Woodstock chevauchée 1380 Roosebeeke 1382 : 15000 Valois vs 25000 Plantagenet Despenser crusade 1383 Ecluse 1385 even on each side

[@thesnoopmeistersnoops5167]

​​@@robert-surcoufhello/bonjour. Both of those battles are not part of Caroline phase? I think you misunderstand me. History remembers big battles/kings/generals/emperors. Caroline phase is a war of maneuvering. Underated French king because he didn't lead a big battle but that's my point? No disrespect to France, but that's just how history works.

In my opinion it's better to do things in order, this was meant to be the first video in hundred years war series, it's confusing for someone who is not familiar with the subject, how all things started why they fighting etc... imagine you done Hannibal series starting with the battle of Cannae and this is my first video in the HYW series that i watched till the end... i must be honest with my favourite history yt channel... and off course i really like the video... 😗

The Perveza campaign 1538 in this month Pope called for a crusade and gathered a large crusader fleet (600 ships and 100,000 men) from many christian kingdom and duchies but Hayreddin Barbarossa with his fleet annilihated them killed most of them at least 60,000 crusaders died and sank most of their ships after a 5-hour battle the largest naval battle in history

[@MDP1702]

Quite weird to kill the apparent 60k+ 'crusaders' when they only lost around 12 ships out of more than 200. And where do you get 600 ships from, that are way way too many.

[@remilenoir1271]

[@Yellow-kp9gs]

Edward III was a great king, he reformed English law, had great military success and made the nobility more confident in war, even creating a new chivalric order in the mould of Arthur to further this bond. Edward also did a great job in creating a professional army (by medieval standards) that performed well in pitched battle.

[@robert-surcouf]

When he died in 1377, England was financially ruined, the franco-castillan fleet havoc english coast and Plantagenet have less land than they had in 1326 when he become king. He also starts a war with a false claim. Last but not least, he created the seed that gave the war of roses 100 years later by giving each one of his sons vast lands. For English law and the order of Garter, you're right.

[@robert-surcouf]

@@daemontargaryen6757 Philippe 6 claim could be debatable but Edward 3 wasn't. If only male by male male line could inherit the crown, then Philippe 6 was the rightfull king. If male coul inherit by female line, then all Charles 4, Philippe 5 and Louis 10 (all Philippe 4 sons) grandsons will be above Edward 3 in line of succession since Edward was only Philippe 4 grandson. In 1328, Only Philippe 5 has one grandson, Philippe of Burgundy (born in 1323) so the crown will be open between him and Philippe Valois while Edward 3 will be second in line at best behind Philippe of Burgundy. In 1337, there wil be three other grandson, Louis of Flanders (born in 1330 and Philippe 5 granson) and the brothers Charles and Philippe of Navarre (born in 1332 and 1336 and both Louis 10 grandsons). It's another thing but when the Lancastrians take the throne of england, they basically deny Edward 3 claim by ignoring Roger and Edmond Mortimer (Lionel of Anvers grandsons) claim.

[@wedgeantillies66]

Hope as well as the videos on the outstanding well known battles of the war, that you will also cover Bergerac/Auberoche in 1345, Patay 1429 as well as Morlaix in 1342 in this series, all key battles of less well known campaigns in the war.

Thank you( history Marche ) channel for sharing this remarkable historical coverage of this subject and wonderful introduction ...another times long bow English men recorded victory ✌️ of England 🇬🇧 on French army ( French alliance flammishes)

I had no idea that the longest war in history between the English and French had begun so far from their current borders and in another country like Netherlands. It is striking how Netherlands and Belgium have been, for centuries, the favorite battlefield of all of Europe, since Roman times, throughout the Middle Ages and practically throughout the modern age. Will Netherlands and Belgium be the places where there are the most tombs of soldiers from every corner of Western Europe? I know that Italians, French, English, Germans, Spaniards, Americans, Canadians, Scandinavians, among others, died there (no wonder it is such a productive agricultural land, with such macabre fertilizer). XD

[@josephvisnovsky1462]

Also the island of Cadzand, and the port of Sluys don't exist anymore. Silt and geography have made both part of mainland. Sluys is an inland city.

@@josephvisnovsky1462 Yes, that is the interesting thing about Dutch geography, I'm quite familiar with the 16th and 17th century maps of that European region (from studying the topic of the Spanish Tercios, as a Hispanic that I am) and it is incredible how different it is in this video; For example, Breda here appears as a coastal port, while several centuries later it was another city in the Dutch inland and I also see that Ostend does not appear on the map (although I don't know if it is by omission), among many other things like the way land was reclaimed from the sea in the North, around Groningen and etc.

[@robertbobbypelletreaujr2173]

They are flatlands, perfect for huge battles in hand to hand combat.

[@Badbentham]

It all started with that Frankish ruler who had 3 sons. One took France, one the later HRE. And the last one the smallest and least united , but very wealthy, middle-part that reaches from Belgium, the Netherlands and Alsace-Lorraine over Burgundy and Switzerland to northern Italy. - Understandably everybody tried to grab what they could from the latter; house Habsburg and France, for example, were ( until Marie Antoinette) at war for centuries for a reason.

[@rickwitte8645]

​@as you can see cadzand is an island here but during later years the complete region from cadzand towards the area of braband was reclaimed, a few major city got created in this erea that at one point rivaled venice in its econimic power it was the three citys of ghent axel and hulst. They where major exporteurs of flax wich was valuable at the time, although its a contestet piece of info.

While looking at Google Maps, I noticed that the town of Cadzand, currently located in the Netherlands, is actually on the continent. Does anyone have any idea what happened there? Was the region terraformed or someting?

[@kevinjohnbetts]

If you look at Sluys (or Sluis) you'll see it's about a dozen miles inland next to Cadzand (or Kadzand). Sluys was still a port when besieged by the Spanish in 1587 but only because a canal had been dug to compensate for the estuary silting up. Kadzand had been abandoned by this point but the whole area was a morass of dykes, sluices, small islets, and ever-changing river channels. It's all been reclaimed since. As an aside you'll note in the video Bruges is listed as a port. Similar processes led to it being rendered virtually useless and Zeebrugge being constructed. The Dutch, Flemish, and Walloons, were/are fiendishly clever at claiming land from the sea as well as flooding it again whenever their territories are invaded.

Imagine being a peasant. Drafted into the militia. Your beloved wife kissing you a goodbye and you promise her that you'll return safely. Your baby-girl awaiting her father. You march out with the thoughts of your small farmhouse and cooking food. You dont have much, but you're happy. Then, you lose the fight. Surrender with the hopes of somehow returning home. You're done with fighting, you just want to live. Just want to go back home. You're no soldier. No knight. No man-at-arms. You're just a regular dude who doesn't care about who's flag is flying above your head as long as your family is safe. You maybe beg for your life. Cry, for you want to go home. A "heroic knight" just walks to you as you try to crawl away, crying and begging. Your thoughts, dwelling on your promise you made to your wife. You can't leave her. You can't die now. Not before you see your baby girl walk for the first time. That Heroic Knight jabs his sword to your chest because your poor wife couldn't scramble enough valuables to pay for your ransom. She has no idea you are dead. Still searching the house for anything valuable. Anything at all. She will gather all of your belongings, from pots to clothes, and race to the beach with the hopes that she can pay for her one and only lover. You are long gone.. War is hell.

[@damienkendrick1457]

[@wedgeantillies66]

Although it is nothing more than an small skirmish in respect of the much larger battles in the war to come, it did prove how vulnerable France would be to sea attacks, if England gained control of the channel as they would at Sluys in 1340. As well as even more importantly cement Flanders neutrality and eventually loyalty to the english cause which they would join openly by 1340.

I’m about to use these tactics in age of empires

[@malcolmcuthbertson3359]

It is difficult to imagine that a single piece of paper could such influence European history that it resulted in a small island becoming a world expansive empire . The Magna Carta , was that document , it gave the right to every common man to hunt in all forests but the kings forest . This meant that as long as you could hunt with a bow and later on a musket your family would not go hungry . It encouraged archery and musketry as a skill from a young age . This is why English longbowmen and the redcoats were so feared the world over and how the transition from archery to powder was smoother . When you instead compared this to France Italy and other nations of europe they had no such document and started training the required skills to adults , particularly with archery which requires an immense amount of upper body strength to draw a 80lbs pull longbow repeatedly for hours on end .
