[Kings and Generals]

This is a strange and difficult period to cover in the Hundred Years' War series, but we believe that the way we have covered it will allow us to transition from Crecy and Poitiers to Agincourt, Orleans, Formigny, and Castillon. Eventually, there will be a looooong stitched episode, that will feature the battles of the War of the Breton Succession, Castilian Civil War, and, most importantly, Bertrand du Guesclin's most famous battle - Pontvallain.

[andrey]

How is the video posted 8 minutes ago but the comment is posted 10 hours ago?

[Rodolfo Gaming]

@andrey Patreon suporters have watched it before us

[andrey]

@Rodolfo Gaming ah, makes sense

[James De Mellow]

Can you also at least mention Verneuil? It was a significant and decisive battle of the war that contemporaries called the 2nd Agincourt. It is very overlooked

[Altrantis]

The war of Breton Succession? Combat of the thirty too maybe?

[Pablo M]

I feel that showing one episode of Kings and Generals per week to students at school would automatically explode their thirst for historical knowledge.

[Yashamon]

If instead of learning "history" at school i watched medieval KZbin videos, i'd be historian now 100%. Shame there was no KZbin back then...

[hey ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

but this is only military history which is like 15% of the picture

[Jaume Alc]

It's a shame that the battles of Cocherel (1364), Pontvallain (1370) and Rosebeeke (1382) aren't covered in detail. These deserve much attention imo. Their omission in contrast to the attention English victories get contribute to make it seem as if the French were tactically and technologically inferior throughout the period. In case anyone is interested: At Cocherel Bertrand du Guesclin won the day by performing two successive charges with a feigned retreat (which baited the English into pursuit) and a flanking charge with his reserves. At Pontvallain not only did the French caught the English off guard before they could fortify a favourable position in a hilltop but their advancements in horse armor undermined the effectiveness of the English arrows, leading to a succesful frontal charge. At Rosebeeke the French crushed a great Flemish army with a double Cavalry enveloptment.

[Sitruc]

because there isnt enough time, every single english victory wasn't shown either

[Jaume Alc]

​@Sitruc and yet, it is important to pay attention to them as they are key to deepen our understanding on how this conflict really played out. Judging by how they are going to dedicate an episode to Pontvallain I'd say there is time.

[Michael]

@Sitruc there isn't enough time? this isn't a history channel series that needs to condense 100 year periods into easily digestible hourly slots that are easy enough to understand to cater to a wide audience, they can literally go as deep as they're willing to research

[puckay]

Maybe all of you should read the description first before commenting.

[Jaume Alc]

@puckay I did, what's your point buddy?

[barbiquearea]

Bertrand du Guesclin was quite the enigmatic figure. Born to a minor Breton nobleman, he was said to have gotten into fights as a youngster and even organized gangs of young men and lead them. Despite this poor reputation however, he did manage to earn his spurs in 1354 when he counted a raid against English marauders during the War of Breton Succession. He would go on to further distinguish himself by using guerilla tactics against the English in France and Breton, which were so successful that it brought him to the attention of Charles V. The French monarch entrusted him to lead French forces in Navarre, Breton and then Castile to help Charles's preferred candidate retain his crown. Then in 1369 when war with England resumed, Charles V appointed du Guesclin Constable of France, such a promotion was unprecedented at the time as this position had always gone to a highborn nobleman, whereas du Guesclin heralded from minor nobility.

[Man Kok Lau]

Thea Beckman has some books featuring du Guesclin x the time period of the hundred years war but its in Dutch though

[bossunlimited]

he was also buried at st denis the kings of france's burial basilica the only one not from a ruling family i believe...

[Etienne Mourez]

@bossunlimited yes. I confirm that.

[alex3987654]

French Hero, with Charles V. That's what a capable general can do when he's supported by a wise monarch, french situation was so bad before Charles V's rule... They did an amazing job.

[Stygian ?]

Dude is doing mount & blade for his life

[Tuomas Pirinen]

Bertrand du Guesclin was such a badass. I hope Kings and Generals can do a video on him some day. He won 4 pitched battles against the English, no mean feat!

[lollllfol]

Five actually

[Martijn Steinpatz]

I read about him when I was still a kid. An absolute badass and a personal childhood hero. Please K&G, he deserves his own video.

[Boxghost102]

Dude hard carried France through a good portion of the war.

[Pim D]

@Martijn Steinpatz You also read those books about him by Thea Beckman? I love those!

[Lycaon Pictus]

He was one of the great captains of medieval Europe & a strong argument could be made in favor of him being the greatest of the 100 Years War. He was given some epic nicknames as well. "The Black Dog of Broceliande," "The Eagle of Brittany," and "Flail of the English."

[wilson the conqueror]

This is a time of history not covered as much as the famous other English victories. But this is what determined the course for decades to come! Well done!

[Sitruc]

its normal for a country to focus on victories

[Based Kaiser]

@Sitruc even though they lost the war ?

[Afisto66]

@Sitruc The problem with the saxon is their focus about victories and at the same time silenting every others allied contribution. You have some documentaries who say than the British ad won the African Campaign in WW2, without telling a word about Bir-Hakeim and Mers-el-Kebir

[thesnoopmeister Snoops]

@Afisto66 would you like any pepper with that salt?

[Afisto66]

@thesnoopmeister Snoops Only truth hurt.

[Jacob Koenig]

I used to be a history major and found it so boring to try and learn about this stuff from a textbook so I switched majors. Your videos however have gotten me to find this period interesting again. They’re really well made, good job!

[FrenchNeoColonialism]

That hurts, hope you're doing well! What is your current field of study?

[starkiler13]

Unexpected. As a spaniard, thank you for covering this quite unknown battle.

[Swift]

I'm so sick of Spanish and English people arguing online...why can't we be happy we have such fucking awesome history together

[Will]

@Swift exactly

[Stephen Keely]

The guys who create the videos are not English. Devin just does the voice over work.

[Alejandro Oya Mouriño]

@Swift So you call History this crap of channel? The source of information of this channel is clearly sided, 40% History 40% propaganda 20% lies.

[thesnoopmeister Snoops]

@Alejandro Oya Mouriño who hurt you my good man? Tell us their name and we shall have words.

[Ignacio Cristobal]

Bertrand du Guesclin said a famous sentence in Castilla that we hear a lot here in Spain: "yo ni quito ni pongo rey, sólo ayudo a mi señor" (I don't remove or put kings, I just help my lord". He said that when after the battle of Montiel, he supossedly held the arms of Pedro the Cruel so Henry Trastamara could stab him. I believe this Bertrand du Guesclin retired to non other than Mont Saint-Michel. Not bad.

[bossunlimited]

i think he was buried at st denis the royal burial ground

[El Présidente]

I think pedro the cruel was badly butcher by Henry after a brutal fist fight

[Ignacio Cristobal]

@El Présidente yup, and it is said that Bertrand entered the fight to hold Pedro's arms xD so Henry could stab Pedro

[ogladacz r.t.]

dude got burried in Saint Denis for Christ's sake

[Sam Revlej]

2:44 Étienne Marcel wasn't just a cloth merchant, he was Provost of the Merchants, which was basically Mayor of Paris (he was in charge of taxable income, supplying the city, etc). His revolt was closely linked with Charles of Navarre's manipulations, and the Grande Jacquerie of 1358.

[Ramiro Men]

The conflicts between the two provosts of paris are underrated.

[Sam Revlej]

@Ramiro Men There was no conflict between two provosts. There was only one provost, Étienne Marcel, and he rose up against the Dauphin with the support of Charles the Bad, trying to implement a controlled monarchy after the failure of the Estates General to impose the Great Ordinance. That coincided with the Grande Jacquerie, and there were attempts at joining forces between the Parisian bourgeois (the merchant class) and the insurgent peasants, but that failed. Marcel's revolt also failed, and he ended up massacred by a Parisian crowd after he was suspected of wanting to let English routiers which had helped him take control of the capital ravage it.

[Ramiro Men]

@Sam Revlej thanks for the explanation in detail! It was super interesting! And it was my bad for not being clear, when i said "two provosts" i meant the Royal Provost as well as the Provost of the Merchants

[ogladacz r.t.]

manipulation from Navarre is debatable, but the offers of the Great Ordnance were actually greatly interesting and could have reformed the late feudal society

[Guts]

Next are Caboche and Capeluche.

[Antoine]

Man...I just can't get enough of this channel. top quality right here once again without getting into to much detail. As a french, I can't wait to see the next part of your the Hundred Years' War series. Small questions for you : any plans for a video on the sultanate of Grenada ? Or about the story of Quebec and new France from 1532-1775 ? ( I would gladly help for this one). Anyway Thanks for making once again theses documentaries, I love them all. cheers.

[Alexandre Benoin]

Incredible job, actually it's the first time i see an history channel go beyond than Crecy and agincourt, so with such quality ...

[Althesian]

I’m honestly annoyed really. The english achieved victories that were small in the grand scheme of things. The phrase won the battle, lost the war comes to mind. Yet the amount of praise going to the english yet almost none to the french is ridiculous. French cavalry were one of the most deadliest charges in medieval history. It was simple yes, but as long as it works, why find a problem where none exists? The battle of patay saw french cavalry destroy the veteran english longbow men that they would not reconstitute again. The french won the war yet the amount of praise given to the english is just ridiculous. We should challenge that narrative more.

[Ruth Swann]

@V_Cpt- Phasma_V Not just some battles, but if Canada defeated an entire US army or something of equivalent strength to basically the entire French army. Issue is, the way it's put now, England is portrayed as the one that should have won the war, with their invincible longbowmen. Basically the narrative isn't nuanced at all unless Joan of Arc is involved.

[Althesian]

@V_Cpt- Phasma_V Yes england was the underdog, that is not disputed in any way. But we must give credit where its due and give praise to the french as much as we do to the english. The amount of praise and overanalyzing for poitiers, agincourt and crecy should be toned down a little and maybe focus on french victories as well. We should respect both sides equally and not spin this tale of the french being incompetent and the english as formidable.

[Althesian]

@V_Cpt- Phasma_V France still came out on top at the end. England inflicted devastating losses to the french yes, but the french still achieved ultimate strategical victory. They achieved their ultimate objective of expelling england from its french territories. That’s what matters for wars. Victory so crushing your enemies will never challenge or come to your doorstep again.

[Altrantis]

@V_Cpt- Phasma_V At Patay the English outnumbered the french by far and they were armed with their supposedly invincible archers and the french crushed them losing almost no one and killing so many archers that England would never recover them. Yet look up and see if you find any videos on Patay in youtube. Look how many videos on Agincourt there are.

[KevinLevan]

I need to take a step back that you guys are not actually a major historical network with a billion-dollar budget. I've come to trust what I hear on this channel more than I do anything on actual TV, least of all the history channel

[DangerDan]

The History Channel shouldn't even be able to call themselves by that name, it's false advertising.

[KevinLevan]

@Sab S This is indeed an area HistoryMarche has them beat in (highly recommend their channel btw)

[Luis M.]

Aliens also intervened in the 100 years war, didn't you know? I saw a documentary about it in the History Channel that featured some of the most reputable history scientists of the world.

[Resentfuldragon]

@DangerDan its just a case of companies buying then ruining a channel. It happened to discovery and it happened to tlc which was “the learning channel”, a channel meant to teach and show documentaries.

[El Présidente]

Damm Bertrand du guesclin MUST have been covered in greater detail This guy was the hight of chivarly he defeated several great English Knight in single combat, he took entire forts with a handful of men and won several battles against the English There a reason he was nickname the "black doge of Britanny"

[Daniel Roșu]

This series is incredible.

[Will Ng]

This should be on Netflix

[Idiot Engineer]

@Will Ng if I was a Netflix exec I'd just go into meetings and show these videos as pitches

[Paul Hurtubise]

If you've never read it, "A Distant Mirror" by Barbara Tuchman is an absolute jewel and I hightly recommend it. You probably have, but bringing it up for those who haven't. It gives tremendous insight on the 100 years war all the while being a fascinating and engaging read.

[Aidan Fionn Castralleva]

I really love your channel. Please don't stop making these contents. It would be nice if you do show more of Eastern history

[Luc de_Ville]

The military success of France was mainly due to Betrand duGuesclin. He deserves a lot more attention. Even a seperate video about his career.

[Gwenn Blei]

Excellent video once more ! Thank you for your efforts to teach history :)

[James Reagan]

I love these videos. It's very informative and full of historical facts and truths. I am studying French history and having a hard time with these names and places. Does anyone know any videos or websites that can help me with that. I could take french classes but to lazy right now. Thanks. Keep up the great content.

[Amaury Pierret]

You guys should make a compilation of all the hundred-year war videos like what you did with the Romans P.S: Love the content.Should be on Netflix or something.

[Usts6su]

By far the best History Channel on KZbin, you contents are High Quality and the narrative is very involving, I love the fact that you try to add as many details, images and videos of battles and events. Thanks to your channel I know a lot of details about historical events, and I can visualize much better the life and battles of those times 💯💯💯👏🏻😁(Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹)

[bradford lad]

While vacationing in Normandy several years ago, we lodged at a swank maison in Crepon called Maison De La Ranconiere. The series of buildings that make up the maison are surrounded by an impressive curtain wall. Knowing that the maison was captured and used as a Nazi HQ in WWII, I asked the concierge if the walls were to keep out the Germans. "Non!" came the quick retort. "The English".

[Lucian Franzky]

Love your videos! Maybe one day there will also be a series on the 80 Years' War in the Netherlands? Especially Bernhard von Galens raids maybe?

[IceManBgd]

Love your series guys and this one may actually be my favorite one. I can’t wait the next episode and The battle of Agincourt!

[Ben Walker]

The Black Prince had such an insane story - a tragedy in the end but he was still such a beast for most of his life

[Nazma Khan]

Never knew that the Spanish navy defeated the English navy decisively , such a informative video, Hollywood movies give us a very inaccurate picture of the history .

[Afisto66]

Too much "anglo-version" if you want to be accurate.

[Nazma Khan]

@Afisto66 😅

[RaTaX :V]

If you want to know more, just read about Cartagena de indias and Blas de Lezo, in many times Spain defeated their enemies, the only enemy we couldn't defeat are the Spanish traitors in the peninsula and Hispanicamerica.

[João Silveira]

@RaTaX :V Portugal hehe

[Maxwell Ryder]

Hollywood isn’t supposed to be a substitute for your education. The history has always been there to read for yourself.

[Syed Azam]

Woah, A Naval Battle in Medieval Europe brought to such perfection. Salud!

[CheVALieRd'Orleans563]

Very interesting series about the hundred years war! Very much enjoy watching!

[Alexandre Meyer]

Hi, thank you for this video that was very nice. If I may give you a tip, you should try to find information on Jean Chaudrier, La Rochelle's mayor who was a cunning man. After the battle, he managed to clear the city of English troops without any bloodshed. He then forced the French to give his city additional commercial privileges in exchange for opening them the gates. It could make a nice video, albeit a short one.

[Ngametua Terei]

another great history lesson never miss a episode good work team

[Arya chris]

As always a great lunch and a great video to watch. Thank you kings and generals for your hard work and efforts

[Broken Bridge]

Wonderful video. I liked it all. Can't wait for the next episode. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.

[Aikalah amjie]

I do enjoy English/French history like these. Also the Mongols, Japan, Chinese. I do hope to see history videos close to home, maybe Indonesia (Majapahit/Srivijaya etc..)

[thesnoopmeister Snoops]

Failed mongol invasions into India need more love

[Marioglobetrotter]

Always pleasant to watched kings and generals. Nice music in the background, solid portion of history and military tactics. Keep going;)

[Travis Webb]

Oh man that was great. So excited for the next episode!!!!

[Malictus dagod]

This was truly the age where honor, chivalry and valor went out the window, replaced eternally by chaos, luck, and utter destruction. This was war, brutal and absolute.

[Malictus dagod]

Boş İşler Müdürü That Turkish statement is damn sure true, because once gunpowder was around, war truly became hell on earth.

[Aleksa Petrovic]

Well it's not as if it was any better in past. Chivalry code applied only to fellow knights. If you are average Jacque that was pressed into service, then no one will ransom you or release you no matter how bravely you fought. You are just an ordinary worthless peasent in the eyes of the knights.

[Malictus dagod]

Boş İşler Müdürü Now in the present, at the simple push of a button, entire countries can be turned into literal ash.

[Althesian]

War in the middle ages was never about “chivalry” and “honor”. It was war. Both sides will do all they can to achieve victory. Most “knights” wouldn’t behave like what we would think as chivalrous anyway. They would plunder, rape and destroy just like many warriors before them. Chivalry about the stereotypical “knight in shinning armor” is a myth.

[Patrick Lenigan]

Wow, King Jean was quite honorable, volunarily returning to captivity when his son escaped!

[Joshua Allen]

MORE OF THESE PLEASE!!!! WELL DONE GUYS👍🏿👍🏿

[thesnoopmeister Snoops]

This focus on French disunity doesn’t get enough love. The different factions in England and France are really fascinating.

[Sevoo]

Bertrand du Guesclins's motto was that his bravery gave's him what his beauty couldn't

[Seamus Hogan]

Interesting to see how throughout these videos the situation in Ireland is always changing too.

[Rio Wanaha]

Here it comes the long awaited series. Thank you so much

[Sean Tomlinson]

Delightful. I've wondered about the enormous gap between Poitiers and Agincourt. That was a great way to cover the period.

[Ngametua Terei]

How about doing a cuple of episodes on New Zealand Land Wars i feel you could bring a good few episodes out of my countrys history plus i like the way that you guys present your episodes

[Melodic Meerkat]

Surprised you didn't mention the Black Monday of 1360. On April 5th, Edward III approached Paris with a massive army, supported by his steadfast dukes of Lancaster, Warwick, and the Black Prince. The French refused battle, and so the English decimated the countryside. That night, as the English set camp, a freak lightning storm appeared in the skies, the temperature plummeted and a torrent of hail beat down on the English ranks for hours. A panic ensued as several nobles were killed by the storm, and the camp was torn apart. It is estimated that up to 1,000 men and 6,000 horses perished in the storm on Black Monday, more than were killed by the French at both the battles of Crecy and Poitiers. Edward III, convinced this was a sign from God that he had come too far, withdrew, and the Treaty of Bretigny was signed only a few weeks later. It was Black Monday that ended the Edwardian phase, not the battle of Poitiers itself.

[Kim Ok]

The 1360 chevauchée itself hadn't been a success even before the black mondayn. The costs of the expedition weren't covered and no major territorial gains were made

[Leo Huellstrunk]

It's truly amazing how kings and generals can create one of these every two ish days.

[Richard Glady]

Great video...very informative. Thank you.

[J E]

this 3 part series is amazing

[ogladacz r.t.]

And you really underestimated du Guesclin's fighting ability, as guerrilla combat, fortifying towns, and winning by realising france had more resources weren't only of his talents. Even without mentioning battle of Cocherel, won in an "english fashion", against higher enemy numbers, due to troop placement, great decision making, and correct estimate of forces leading to creating a reserve used in a decisive maneuver, there we're just regular fights where he shines just as bright as black Prince. Pontvallain, Chize, Rennes, multitude of smaller fights, which were just smaller fights, and not exactly guerilla which is hit-and run or cutting enemy supplies... but anyways, my 5 cents is over, props for mentioning this figure

[Henry V King of England and France]

The atmosphere building up to Henry V at the end was brilliant.

[stygn]

"The anchor that kept the ship of state afloat"? Ah, yes. The anchor. Famous for it's buoyancy. Other than that, amazing video as usual : )

[KC Gan]

Henry V, one of the most famous warrior king of England. Looking forward for his famous battle, The Battle of Agincourt!

[Prajwal Shetty]

Learnt about this from age of empires, my best history teacher 😂

[Chase Murray Christopher Dolan]

I completely agree with you on that because I am also looking forward to the famous battle of Agincourt especially after watching the movie called the king but I am also interested in the battle of agincourt because Richard of York the third Duke of York who fought in the war of roses lost an uncle the second Duke of York who was killed at the battle of agincourt

[Justin the great.]

They already did the battle of Agincourt couple episodes previously I'm pretty sure may be incorrect about that though

[Rocket]

@Justin the great. That is an old unlisted one if anything which they'll most certainly remake like Actium if I'm not mistaken.

[Henry V King of England and France]

Yes! It will be brilliant.

[Nazma Khan]

Wow, great , Never thought any you tube channel would make such a detailed video on this part of this history 😘

[Cépa Téoignons]

What do you use to make the moments when we see troops marching or army? It looks like a Total War game regarding graphisms, ans they are looking really accurate regarding armors and coats of arms ! It is a trully great job !

[JonatasAdoM]

[ogladacz r.t.]

and almost literally destroying his own most powerful state in Europe before? xD

[malleus maleficarus]

Amazing work like usual!

Hey man love your videos, can you make a documentary about the Tamil kings Chera, Chola and Pandyas ?

[Michael Cortez]

I am so unbelievably excited for the Battle of Agincourt. I’ve been waiting 3 years 🥲

[Red Cape Time Traveler]

i would prefer Formigny or Castillon for the happy end of a so long ................... wait ;=)

[Michael Cortez]

@Ordre Sky77 yes but other than History Marche, none of them are great.

[Michelle G]

[Viper Viper]

I know it's going to be a good day when kings and Generals upload.

[tubarao1143]

Would be great if you mention the Portuguese Castillian war of 1383-1385 as a 100year war proxy. The Portuguese - British alliance was formed then (still in vigor) as England needed Portuguese superior navy against Castille and Portugal manpower against Castille

[Minh Ha]

I'm just so hyped for the next episode, Henry V was such a bad ass

[Hervé Masseau]

Vive Bertrand Guesclin !

[Laszlo Lorand]

Keep up the good work!!!😁

[Bjorn Roets]

Was wondering when the next episode would emerge. Love the documentary btw

[Jav]

Ah,good old Spanish and English fighting each other since the XIV century even in France

[rodrigo gimenez-rico laguna]

Not only in France, the castillian armada commanded the England coast raids atributed in the video to just french navy and Sánchez de Tovar even went Up the Thames River Up to burning Gravese south London.

[Last Prussian]

French Spanish and Scottish had united to fight against England in early 15th century still lost more than it got to

[Alvaro Gomez Vivas]

@Last Prussian England lost all of her possessions in France though. The only renmants of that age are the Crown Dependencies of Jersey and Guernsey, once part of the Duchy of Normandy. In the period between 1400 to 1700, England was a second-rate power, while Portugal, Spain, France, Austria, the Ottoman Empire and for a shorter time the Dutch were the pre-eminent European powers. The balance of power only started to tilt in England’s (by then already Great Britain) favour after the War of Spanish Succession in the early 1700’s. For the next 250 years approximately, Geat Britain would be a true world power, but it mustn’t be forgotten that this was not always the case, and that the British also suffered their own Agincourts and Trafalgars back in the day.

[Will]

@Alvaro Gomez Vivas I agree with most of what you said, but I wouldn’t call England a second rate power in between 1400 and 1700. It was still a great power during that period, just not a hegemon like Spain and later France were. England was still a force to be reckoned with and the Spanish considered England a major threat under Elizabeth I. But you’re right that England/Britain didn’t truly become the major European power until after the Spanish Succession (although I’d say that the Seven Years War was when it really came into it’s own). Good comment though.

[rodrigo gimenez-rico laguna]

@Last Prussian What did Spain Lost? On the contrary, I think its the begining of 333 years of a worldwide empire

[Nathan Tallar]

It would be cool if kings and generals would do a videos on the boar war boxer rebellion and the Balkan war of 1912-1913

[Alp Arslan]

Are you going to make a video about the Kut-al-Amara war? It is one of the most important and interesting battles of the first world war. Good Luck Dude 👑

[Bob McKenna]

Surprised to hear the narrator pronounce "Skedule" in an English accent, instead of the native "shedule" for the word schedule, of course. I expect that took rehearsal or at least preparation. Great stuff, guys.

[Yomabo]

Could you guys remove a province from the Netherlands in your maps? Flevoland wasn't land during this time period. It is a small detail, but it's always bugging me.

[MrMonster]

Wow. Great content as expected

[James De Mellow]

There is serious academic debate over the validity of the sacking of Limoges by the Black Prince. The evidence points to the fact that Froissart, the chronicler where this idea of sacking came about, was wrong in his assessment of the siege. They now think only 100-200 civilians were killed in the siege, not an outrageous number by medieval standards and very far away from 3000 Froissart claims.

Interesting fact : Edward the third's grandfather was Edward longshanks who battled with the Scots and baibars

Are you guys ever going to do the Battle of Poltava (1709)? You did the King Charles XII video where he was exiled in the Ottoman empire before he could return to Sweden following the Battle of Poltava. But you've never done a video on the battle itself. The other two videos I want you to do are the Mughals from Babur to Aurangzeb which you probably do in your Steppe People series as the Mughals were descendants of the Timurids. You will probably do a video on the Timurids before the Mughals. The last one I want to see is the Siege of Vienna (1683), but you will obviously eventually get to that in your series on the Ottoman Empire. So really its just Poltava I'm not sure when you'll get to it.

George R R Martin acknowledges the huge influence Maurice Druon’s books had on his own work. Druon’s books are set in the decades before this war broke out, in the court of France.

If all the school's history class play this, more student will start to like history or be interested in it.

History or wars ??

Too bad you didnt mention the Chevauché of Edward III who went to Reims to get crowned King of France officially and since the town didnt open he went to Paris to ask the French to battle him, however Charles "the Wise" applied his strategy of "la terre deserte" , the empty land strategy , where all paysans and commoners took all they had and were put inside the big fortified cities where the english couldnt harm them. Edward men's died of sickness, starvation and guerrilla tactics from Charles V men. He asked his knights to do exactly the opposite of what they were born to do, and managed to turn the fist half of the war in French position. One can imagine how hard it must have been to apply this "un honorable" strategy and yet wins..
