I'm surprised how the French didn't focus special attention on the English longbow men before any front line engagement. These English units proved time and again to be the most dangerous yet the French repeated the same mistakes. Can anyone explain if maybe I am wrong?

Medieval commanders with proper scouting? Impossible I say!

I've heard of this battle and King John's capture for years. But did not know his 14 old son was present with him at his capture! Well done!

There is a gap between 1356 and 1415 not covered by the series.

Amazing video! It really shows how terrain is important when facing a heavy cavalry force, the french were defeated the same way they were in crecy and the same way the parthians were defeated by ventidius at mount gindarus. You guys should remake crecy btw! Keep up the good work!

It's great that History Marche acknowledge they butcher french words. An honest blogger. I won't regret subbing.

The Black Prince was the OG pro gamer

It was another wonderful historical coverage video shared by an amazing ( History Marche) channel about Poitiers' battle between French kingdom and Anglogascon invaders on French territory at 1356 AD..where English long bow had obvious role for English gaining victory ✌️ while French utilized short Bows and bad controlling of French warriors columns brought defeat to French campaign....thank you (History Marche ) channel for sharing this incredible work

[@bigsarge2085]

Incredible documentary as usual. I learn something new each time!

[@agustinfigueroa3239]

I would pay very good money to see HM cover the wars of South America. There arent many military history channels here, and definitely nowhere close in quality. I really hope it happens one day, they're all very interesting conflicts

[@OldieBugger]

Of course I watched this suspension story in full, as I never heard these kind of details in my history lessons. Thank you!

[@samlloyd3286]

Love the long videos and consistency of your videos. Please keep up the great work!

French Knights charging into the fray and getting obliterated case no. 28.

[@KHK001]

Great! more Hundred years' war! love this series!

[@DrivermanO]

Bernard Cornwell wrote about this campaign in his book 1356. Its excellent. As is his Azincourt (Agincourt). Both are well worth a read.

[@brokenbridge6316]

I love hearing about The Hundred Years War. It's just so interesting.

[@geoffroydegodefroy2374]

Thank you for this! I don't know how long the video lasts but Schwerpunkt uploaded a 3 hours tactical analysis of Poitiers that I prepotently recommend

[@FreeFallingAir]

Amazing work on this classic, you've come a long way over these few years. Keep up the great work. Ive always enjoyed studying the 100 Years War😊
