Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Italian Wars continues with the aftermath of the battle of Fornovo 1495, as the French army left Italy. However that only increased the instability, leading to the 2nd and 3rd Italian Wars, more French involvement, Aragonese intervention, and the battles of Cerignola and Garigliano of 1503.

First episode in the series - Italian Wars #1 Fornovo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaWXZHtpgrySeqM This video is also dubbed in Spanish for the first time in the history of our channel. You can switch to the Spanish audio track here - prnt.sc/1smcojr This is a test, so give us some constructive feedback, please. Share it with your Spanish-speaking friends and family, so they can tell us what they think about the translation! We want to add more languages and expand on this, but need to know if there is enough interest.

Hi, Kings and Generals. You are my favorite channel. I don't know if you are aware of the differences between the two type of Spanish Dubs that are typically used: for Spain and for Latin America. The thing is, people from Spain love the Spanish one and people from Latin America the other one, which is logical. Since I am from Spain, I don't like the Latin American Dub and I prefer 100% to listen to OfficiallyDevin's magnificent voice. This is of course 100% subjective and all my respects to the Dub that has been incorporated to this video. As a suggestion, it would be great if you could also produce a Dub with Spanish from Spain. Many greetings and once again, your channel is pure gold.

[@aguerrero]

Wow, thanks! I have wished to share your channel with my non-English speaking folks for such a long time... and the time has come! I can also see a lot of your videos being included in history class syllabi around our 550-million strong linguistic community. (Although it will never be the exact same experience without OfficiallyDevin bringing that unique tone to narrate the stories of misadventurous kings that decide to charge forward without scouting the forests for possible traps! 😀

[@aguerrero]

@@restitutororbis1 I hear you on that. I also recall that while I was a child in Spain, all our Disney cartoons were dubbed in neutral "Latin American" Spanish , while the rest of our TV programs were in Iberian Spanish and we as kids didn't care. It seemed only logical that Snowhite or Bugs Bunny had a softer, different accent. But I get your point.

[@aguerrero]

I like it is dubbed in Spanish. The dubber is trying to do an excellent job (although I would allow him a few runs before judging him, he needs to find his own tone that convey epic, just as OfficiallyDevin did over time, and that takes a bit of iterations and practice). Just a tip: in pronouncing Kings & Generals, he may want to say it in English (including using the pallatal non-gutural sound English-speakers use for "G" in saying Generals, instead the "H" sound he uses, i.e. as in "Happy"). Kings and Generals is a personal name and should not be dubbed. But a super job!!!

[@johanm571]

Hello! I’m Johan, writer and researcher for the video! I’m very excited to bring you chapter two of our series on the Italian wars. A lot of events took place, so some had to be cut, but I’ll add some notes on interesting things that did not make the final cut. 2:40 The Neapolese reconquest of Naples is an interesting war, with Italian condottieri changing sides (such as the Colonna joining the Spanish and the Orsini joining the French), Aragonese, Venetian and Nepoletan attacks and the desperate defence of the French-Scottish general Berault Stuart d'Aubigny and Montpensier in the south, attempting to resist without much help from his king who was cash-strapped after Fornovo. Battles that took place were the First battle of Seminara 1495, Battle of Eboli, the siege of the Neapolitan Castles, the battle of Montecalvo and the Siege of Atella 4:07 The conflict between Pisa and Florence is very much a David vs Goliath story, and the conflict became a proxy war between Milanese and Venetian, and later French against Spanish, while France slowly lost the coastal towns in Tuscany. Also, it was the time where Savonarola ruled the city of Florence. 14:33 Capitana was especially important for the finances of the Kingdom, as Foggia was fundamental to control the most lucrative income of the kingdom, the “dogana delle pecore”, the tax on the practice of herding sheep to the mountains in the summer to graze the fresh grass, called “transumanza”. We are talking about millions of sheep, so saying that a war between France and Spain began because of a 'Flock of sheep', while funny and not entirely incorrect, is a bit oversimplified. :) 15:18 There were a lot of small military actions, battles and skirmishes between Autumn 1502- Spring 1503 (Siege of Canosa, Battle of Ruvo, Second battle of Seminara 1502, not to mention local nobles). During the stalemate, a number of duels were held between the knights of the two armies on neutral Venetian soil, the most famous of which was the “Disfida di Barletta” where 13 Italian knights won against 13 French, an episode famous in the Italian historiography and nation-creating conscience in the last centuries. 15:32 The French defeat at the Third Battle of Seminara 1503 came a week before the Battle of Cerignola, completely destroying the French presence in the Kingdom. 18:30 "first time mass arquebuses were used" as in for the first time they were used in great numbers and strategically, not the first time they were used in battle, to clear up any confusion If you have any other questions you are welcome to ask them!

Another well done video. Some comments though: Gonzalo de Cordoba or El Gran Capitan had great influence on modern warfare. After his defeat at Seminara ( which he told Frederico we will lose as Spanish troops were used to engaging mobile Moorish adversaries and thus were lightly armored in compared to the French) De Cordoba reorganized his army. He converted roughly 2/3s of his crossbows to arqubisiers with the remaining Spanish infantry to sword and buckler infantry with some crossbows. The landsknechts were brought in to provide the pikes as the Spanish had not fully developed that arm. He also understood that his army could not meet the French on even terms so he changed the equation by digging in behind a stream and letting the French come to him. More detailed accounts of the battle showed that he had converted the ditch into a modern day kill zone which negated the strength of the Swiss pikes and French cavalry. He understood the effects of terrain on armies and used it to his advantage. Some consider De Cordoba the progenitor of the first modern general. He was not called El Gran Capitan for nothing.

[@pauortolacobos6636]

Gonzalo FERNÁNDEZ de Córdoba. Pay respect to one of the greatest generals in the worlds history, and the creator of the Tercios that dominanted Europe for 2 centuries

[@ibonarzua2811]

I must agree with many comments that signal the lack of acknowledgement of Spanish infantry profesionality that was unparalel in Europe. Their pikemen went toe to toe with swiss and germans, their use of guns was ahead of their their time and, specially, the profesional nature of their units allowed for true military operations that demanded a strong political identity and engagement that french, german or italian armies lacked. You make wonderful videos but I found this odd, much like the Cartagena de Indias video where you failed to point out any virtue of the Spanish army or its leader: Blas de Lezo.

Descendants would be any Turkic nations you can think of such as Turkey. 3)Geographical location. Uzbeks, Azeris and Turkish people are located on the western part of the Turkic sphere where they are more likely to have Irani/Caucasian/ Arabian features due to close proximity and intermarrying with Iranian/Caucasian/Arabian people.

The French had a penchant for overzealous charges against superior positions, all too eager to believe their own hype on chivalric courage. Attacking an entrenched force after you've marched all day just an hour before sunset is certainly a prime example.

[@morewi]

You look up the attitudes of their officers in world war 1

[@xenotypos]

@@morewi You know all commanders did that during WW1 right ? They really believed in offensive because it was the only way to break the deadlock. Also, in this war most of the notorious butchers weren't French, but were generally Austrians or Italians (especially Cadorna).

[@morewi]

@@xenotypos yeah that was my point. The officer corp thought that bullets and bombs werent socialist enough and sent young men to die in horrible agony because of it

[@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212]

After the Battle of Cerignola Spain became the first power in the world, surpassing his biggest enemy, France. This is how important this battle was for Spain.

[@Heisenberg882]

That's like saying Rocroi made France more powerful than Spain, which it didn't. Stop trying to oversimplify long political changes into a single battle. In reality Spain's rise to dominance happened over a period of decades in the early 1500's and it retained this dominance until around the mid 1600's.

[@pablotesticules]

A special mention to Diego García Paredes, the Spanish Hercules, who gave great account of himself in González de Córdoba's chronicles, as he charged with courage towards the French on his own in both battles.

[@Jarethkun]

Hello! :) First of all, thank you for another video! I discovered you channel some months ago, and I love the content. This time I was very surprised when I heard the words in Spanish, and, after reading that it was intended, I'm here to give some feedback. Firstly, as a Spanish speaker from Spain, I didn't mind that the accent wasn't mine, since that's what happens when your language is spoken in so many countries ;) Secondly, I liked the voice, even though I'm more used to the English one, of course. At last, but not least, it was a little bit odd how some names were pronounced, specially the French ones. In any case, I think it was a solid job, and I really enjoyed it! Thanks a lot for the effort, and see you in the next video! :)

I really like the idea of expanding your content to other languages. One thing I should point out though is that, when I started watching, for some reason it was automatically set to switch back and forth between audio tracks. I did manage to figure out how to fix it and I’m not sure if that is something that gets set up on your end but if it is, you might want to just set it to one or the other or put instructions in the description on how to fix it.

Still waiting for a Kings and General video that's a flop... The new graphics are a killer and I'm learning so much from your content!

[@City-Hunter]

Let it be noted, that the death of Pierre Teillard Lord of Bayard ("The Knight without Fear and Beyond Reproach") symbolizes the end of the Age of Chivalry: a great noble knight (and Marshall of France) shot from a distance and in the back by a commoner arquebusier mercenary. From now on, the latter will now form the backbone of modern armies, gradually relegating the armored knight to the rank of Antiquity.

It would have been very interesting if the Challenge of Barletta had also been analysed, which took place during the winter of 1503, I think so because this event was very important in establishing a strong alliance between the Spaniards and the Neapolitans.

I just rewatched this playlist again, and I just wanted to ask, out of curiousity: Will you be redoing the Pavia episode (once you get to the appropriate war, of course)?

[@latter-daysaintbatman2679]

I like how you said that we learn why it's bad to expand on the backs of your allies. Sometimes, relying on allies too much is bad which is why rulers have to agree on one thing, sometimes they cannot rely on each other too much to the point of compromising their own Kingdoms. In my books, the Sacred Valoryan Empire does not rely on allies to help them all the time, nor does the Fair High Kingdom of Britonnia nor do the High Elves of Celestor nor do the Dwarves of Thulamdor. They only work together specifically when it is a huge war. Other than that, they expand individually when there is a fair amount of peace and they make trade with one another to stabilize relations.
