Living by the genuine medieval city wall is probably something special. Everyday you've got reminded of the past events. Few years ago I visited Lucca in Italy, and I was stunned by the contrast of such great example of history being just a part of a day-to-day life.
@ivanmous37557 жыл бұрын
Why did the defenders fight in front of the wall instead from on top of it? Did the town not trust the peasants enough to let them in? It seems like a waste to build such strong walls and then not use them. Especially since it was a port town and with no naval blockade it ought to have been easy to last through a siege.

I saw a video quite some time ago about this battle. Several mass graves of the Gutes militia were found and excavated. Many of the remains showed numerous and deep wounds to the bones, especially the legs. It looked like the Danish soldiers would slash at the legs of the Gutes, since they had little to no armour there. Then after they were brought down, the poor souls were mercilessly hacked to death. The conclusion was it was a one sided butchery rather than a real battle.

Those are hard to protect spots and they render your enemy as “not a threat anymore”. any man who has taken a blow of any kind, any weapon, to the head, is no instant threat, and most wont be a threat anymore. Same applies to legs, no instant threat and most of the time a man in the ground, still breathing, is a dead man.

Better than most, worse than some. The Danish language can be hard to get for foreigners, especially because we are inconsistent with silent letters. For example "Gerhard" at 0:47 we wouldn't pronounce it "Jerrard" like it sounds, but rather "Ger-hard" with a hard G and H rather than a J sound like in Jerry and a silent H. I think in general the medieval germanic languages, old Danish and old English included requires more hard and direct pronounciations. My maternal great grandfathers name was Gerhard, lol.

And, as was pointed out in the video, many troops were too old or young, and some were crippled. By contrast Valdemar's army, while not huge, was extraordinarily well-armed, -armored, and -experienced. Valdemar basically compensated for his army's small size by making sure it was the best small army possible.

It was a battle - real texts from the period states that the Gutes charged the Danish army and that they had ancient armor and ancient swords at their disposal. Think of the Norsemen armies - mostly made up of farmers and peasants with some elite warriors. Now, this army had no warriors - but some of the peasants had outdated gear used by their forefathers in viking times. They stood no chance against a modeln army though. And the cavalry spelled their doom - i've read it attacked their flanks.

It might have been slightly outdated equipment, since plate armour was the new kid on the bloc... But it wasen't surely viking age old timey equipment.

@@roguishpaladin Own personal gain? bitch please he was doing it in the best interrests of the danish people. You swedes are as bad losers as they come. Sweden has done similar terrible things in the past, get off your high horse. You lost the battle, accept it.

@@ElectroIsMyReligion We swedes are losers? Who owns Gotland and Skåne today? That's right, SWEDEN. But sure keep thinking you danes are victorious in everything because you killed alot of poorly equipped peasents in the medieval age.

Samuel Skogqvist It did never say you were losers per se, merely that you clearly still were whining and moaning over the loss at the Battle of Visby. You’re acting as a sore loser not a loser. Listen the Swedish army killed loads of defenseless civilians when they sieged Copenhagen in 1659. War is never fair, it’s a brutal game of dominance and power. Keeping score of the numerous wars/battles between our two nations is Sweden the victor, you’ve won more of the wars than us, but I’m not being salty and bitter about something that happenef +500 years ago. It was a different time (literally the dark Middle Ages ffs) all of the major European powers at time committed atrocities - including Sweden. Quit complaining and move on.

It's always neat when one of these videos is about a battle I'm not familiar with. I get to feel the suspense of finding out who wins!

How is this a interesting battle, it's just a slaughter of peasants.

Johansson Interesting that it is of the few examples we see a much better force fight another one and get recorded. Also, mass graves and no looting of the recently slaughtered, nor of the graves, it allows us to see which kind of people were fighting then, it’s not so often that you find so much bodies, and that they kept their equipment which is an excellent insight on poor man's equipment of which we have few surviving examples.

Great Vid! I remember i read a children novel centering about this conflict. I was quite shocked as the main protagonist and his entire family got massacred in front of the gates in the final pages

I've been watching this channel for quite a bit. I must say, it's much more enjoyable every time I come back. Just carry on, mate. I was also curious about the animation. What do you guys use to create these battles? I wanted to recreate some battles personally, so I was curious.
