I know I’m just one sub but I’d really love to see you cover history like you do here (maybe on a second channel for alternative history) of a Crusader Kings 2 play through at the 769 start as the duke of Mercia. Maybe have a playthrough series and an accompanying series that discusses the history of the nations and battles Therein. Something similar to The Templin Institute’s Greater Terran Union series. I dont believe this has ever been done for CK2 and since it’s all about the Medieval Era I think that this would be right up your ally.

[@xenotypos]

Though in the end, apart from a moral boost I don't think she changed much in the war. Let's be honest they just needed an idol that would tell them god is with them. Most decisive victories were made without her. From the start, even in constant civil war France had too much ressources for the less populated England (at the time) to be able to hold it in the long term. Though maybe the French could have accepted it, since after all it would have just ended as a personal union if England won, not like the kingdoms themselves would have changed much.

I feel too many people considere that the Hundred Years' War consists only of these three english victories (Poitiers, Crécy and Azincourt) and that somehow by a stroke of fortune, France won the war because of english internal struggles. Of the 3 phases of the War, France won 2 of them, with victories as dashing as the ones of the english in the first part of the war, but who are very obscure to many people because cinema, culture or internet and memes in general only speak (often with exageration) of the english ones. France fielded great generals, arguably opened the way to modern usage of artillery and used guerrila and deserted earth tactics with a lot of success too. France also suffered a lot from roaming bands of mercenaries which lead to the creation of one of the first modern permanent army. Anyway it is always nice to see you uploading a video, you do a great work and deserve recognition.

[@volcanares9620]

I totally agree, every time I see a video about the hundred years war I'm disappointed about this british point of view. The french won more than twice as many battles/sieges and the only one mentionned are Orleans because it's the arrival of Joan of Arc and Castillon because it ended the war. But as you say the french had also dashing victories.

[@xenotypos]

Well in terms of internal struggles even the English have to admit you couldn't be worse than France. It's because France wasn't united that a smaller kingdom like England was able to cause so much problem.

[@volcanares9620]

@@xenotypos yes it was partly a civil war with powerful nobles such as the duke of Burgundy siding with the english

[@TheLocalLt]

xenotypos you could be worse than France you could be Germany, which was turning into a for-sale entity to be bought and sold by habsburgs, yet with so much decentralization that harnessing state power was almost impossible outside of a great collective threat. France was heading that way prior to the Angevin Wars but the collective threat in those wars centralized the state and also secured a claim for the royals based on victory and merit rather than money (although the habsburgs claim was also based on being loyal advisors to the previous german dynasties, but really money and forced marriages - habsburgs dictated most of the marriages within the german princedoms) are what secured their power as the Holy Roman imperial dynasty, as opposed to the military power of the house of Capet during the Angevin Wars, and later houses of Valois and Bourbon during the Hundred Years War securing these houses as French dynasties.

[@AeneasGemini]

Considering that France provoked the war by interfering in English politics, it's funny that they lost the first phase. France is a richer and more populous country than England, it should've won every phase and it's a marvel that the English had as many victories as they did.

[@somanyhumanssolittlecommon6947]

For anyone who is interested in Joan Of Arc, I highly recommend Recollections Of Joan Of Arc by Mark Twain. While it is a work of fiction, Mr Twain worked tirelessly to make it as historically accurate as humanly possible for fiction to be. It was truly a passion project for him, and the person who can read it and not be deeply and profoundly touched is not someone I care to know. It can be argued that if there were no Joan D'Arc, there would have been no Mark Twain. In Saint Louis, a young printer's apprentice was walking down a sidewalk on a windy day when a printed paper fluttering along the street caught his eye. Being curious, the lad chased it down and read upon it the disgraceful account of the guards stealing the garments of their prisoner, Joan Of Arc. Young Samuel Clemens became enthralled with learning more of The Maid Of Orleans which led to a thirst for knowledge of any kind. Decades later, now known to the world as Mark Twain, he would write one of the most touching, heartbreaking and human tales ever written in any language.

[@chrisadlc1]

So Many Humans, So Little Common Sense didn’t Mark Twain say she was the most complete human being of all time? Sounds very interesting

[@somanyhumanssolittlecommon6947]

Hi there, @Chris De La Cruz While I'm not familiar with that exact description, it's similar enough that it's possible. Due to the sheer volume of his speaking tours, newspaper articles and letters, it's highly common to find multiple slightly different variations on quotes that essentially said the same thing. What does specifically comes to mind speaks of how you could select any well known historical hero, no matter how noble their story was, and by modern standards, (modern meaning the late nineteenth century of course) and that builder knight in shining armor would suddenly look pretty sullied and not too heroic. But Joan Of Arc was an exception. A shining example. You could compare her story to any time period, and she would remain unsullied, story fully intact and still standing a hero. But sorry for getting so long-winded. Like Twain, I become a bit too enthusiast over topics I'm passionate about! 😂 Thanks for reading my original comment!

[@xenotypos]

The English Plantagenet kings of french origin would have just moved back to France. Maybe it would have changed mostly nothing though, personal unions were common in European history, the two kingdoms still stayed two separate entities most of the time, and a generation after that things were generally back to normal. This war was a family war nothing else.

[@SuperLusername]

It would have been a European powerhouse, able to exercise much more influence into HRE and Iberia. The royal family would primarily refer to themselves as king of France as they were of French blood and spoke French. Similar thing to when Mongolians conquered China - they became Chinese. Eventually age of nationalism would bring about English indenpendenxe movements in 19th century and England would probably become indenpendent republic with no Scotland, Ireland or colonies. Centuries of colonization from the united kingdom of France and England would mean that all of the colonies would be subject of French crown.

[@Xerxes2005]

Well, to paraphrase Horace: Conquered France would have taken captive its rude conqueror. Like all Plantagenet kings before John Lackland, the King of England would have lived in France and moved the throne to Paris. France was the biggest money maker, had the greatest population and needed to be pacified. It would have been like the Stuarts. King James VI of Scotland ruled as James I of England in London, not Edinburgh. The two crowns may have been separated at first, but would eventually have been united. French would have remained the language of the court. No War of the Roses, no Church of England, no Elizabethan Era, no colonies in America... no USA. England would have been covered with fleur-de-lys instead of Tudor roses. Shakespeare could have written his plays in French and presented in Paris his famous play "Henri II": "Encore un coup sur la brèche, les amis, encore un coup!"

English way to speak about the 1361-1389 phase of the war : " well...the king die, black prince die... shit happens...and hmm... Yes : Azincourt".

Yet again a female making history, rare. And because she was a female fighter loyal to serve her country she meant nothing to the eyes of King Charles VII. Yup! Keep fighting for your king, they surely won't fight for you. I'm happy she is a Saint and God took her with open arms. I'm proud of her to come up from nothing to something, humbly.

Of course I don't know all of the the particulars. But I just can't believe that after Joan had saved France and then she was captured and ransomed by the Burgundian's, Charles would not come to her aid. So Burgundy sold the girl to the English, and they burned her alive. I don't really know the story, but I think after Joan was imprisoned, the English were having some trouble establishing grounds for execution (as if they needed any) so went about stealing the girl's clothes and leaving only male garb in their place. As cross-dressing was a big-time no-no (imagine) when she was discovered 'in drag' they nailed her. This may be completely wrong. I read it when I was 11. Were it not for Joan, I wonder how France would have faired. Actually, the monarchy, as well as the people for that matter are separated by culture more than absolutely anything else. All of Europe ! It should have been one people. Can you imagine. Neighbors can't even get along. What hope is there for the world ?

Jehanne la Pucelle didn't saved France , since the English were still in Normandy for 20 years after her death in 1431 and another 50 years in other regions. No help from Charles VII. She was abandoned. No ransom were requested from the English, for the release of Jehanne. The men's clothing story is a false event, to add drama... from the 18th century. Jehanne was sentenced as an heretic in trying to annul Charles Coronation at Reims in 1429. It was a political trial. Orléans was saved by Yolande d'Anjou who sent the all the necessary supplies and paid for Charles's army and mercenaries. Jehanne arrived at that moment. Yolande d'Anjou was the authority, not the Dauphin and she was mastermind behind of these events. The 12,500 Scottish troops on French soil played a major role in the Hundred Year War. The Auld Alliance. After the death of Jehanne la Pucelle, Agnès Sorel, the mistress of Charles, helped that always depressed Charles VII to carry on the war, especially after 1440. Agnès Sorel, was from the Court of René d'Anjou, son of Yolande d'Anjou... what a coincidence !!! The Hundred Year war was a struggle between the French Aristocray the Armagnac and the English Aristocracy. If the English would have won, nothing would have really changed. The population makes a nation, a country, not a King or a Queen. With time, especially with the War of the Roses in England, France and England would have been two very different country.

You can’t deny that England was so powerful with like a population of like 3 million compared to like 20 million in france

[@RayB1656]

You do not understand the Hundred Year War. It was not a ''population war'' ! It was a French vs English Aristocracy War , each with a specific army and mercenaries ! The English had an advantage because of their longbows, at the beginning , however, England lost Normandy and Bordeaux in 1453, because the French had started to use gunpowder on a larger scale....the English were then defeated. The English retained only the city of Calais when a treaty was signed.
