@@MrRandomSuperhero What is so ironic about those golden spurs is that after the battle of Courtrai, Flanders seemed close to become independant from france. At Roosebeeke in 1382, Charles 6 who was only 14 ordered to take back the spurs and it seemed he will be a great king. In hindsight, both things will be far from reality.

David is far better at narration than Phillip - the latter constantly sounded like he was holding back a giggle, making it seem like he was telling a joke, rather than describing the events of and surrounding a medieval battle. David is the main reason I subscribed to HM - his narration of the (second) battle of Lechfeld sounded far better than that of K&G and SandRhoman. Phillip sounded like a historian giving a lecture, David sounds like a professional narrator in a high quality documentary.

Their cavalry getting decimated by infantry was a problem which the overconfident French would encounter on many occasions throughout their campaigns, for instance they suffered similar defeats by the English at Agincourt as well as the Ottomans at Nicopolis, where their usual haughty charge would result in a very disorderly frenzy. Nevertheless, this short-sighted resistance merely resulted in a worse outcome for Flanders just a couple years later, with more severe taxation on the Flemish population being implemented through a treaty between the count of Flanders and the king of France, the heaviest burden being carried by the peasants, carrying out another revolt. Thus, I do not believe this uproar in the harsh reality of a feudal society was beneficial.
@TarpeianRockАй бұрын
@ indeed, the battle of Westrozebeke in 1382 was a tragic defeat for Flemish independence. One observes the nominally Flemish nobility switching allegiances as they see fit or befitting their own financial or landed interests. The “common” people in the long run not able to rid themselves of an oppressive nobility (what’s new ?) It would take more than 600 years to begin to have a semblance of democracy and a smidgen of a fairer society. The French cultural dominance persisted until the Second World War. Gent university taught in Flemish after many, many hard fought “battles” only in 1930. How a battle in the Middle Ages had a lasting effect right up to not so long ago.

The word goedendag means hello, and also to nod the head as a greating. De goedendag was a wooden club with a iron spike on its end. When the soldier plunged that spike into the throat of his oponent, the head of the dying man would lower in the direction of the blow, as if he nodded 'goedendag' (good day). As a kid they told us that a goedendag was a rod and a round metal ball with spikes attached with a chain to the rod. These weapons have existed but are not the goedendag refered to in this story

This is a very important battle for many reasons: 1) This led to the King of France imposing heavy taxation on the Jewish financiers and bankers in France, forcing some of them to accept debt forgiveness or face the stake. Several of them were indeed burnt alive. 2) The King of France also ordered the dissolution of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (the Templars) as they were owed a lot of money. Their leaders (and, at times, regular members) were heavily persecuted, tortured, despoiled and, again for hundreds, hung or burnt at the stake. 3) Part of reasoning behind the beginning of the Hundred Years War can be traced back to that singular battle. Robert of Artois died, opening the succession crisis in the County of Artois, which pitted Mahaut of Artois (daughter of the aforementioned Robert) and her 15 year old nephew, another Robert of Artois, the Crimson Baron. The Salic law had always stated that France was ruled by agnatic succession (meaning that women do not inherit as long as they have a male relative living). However, the county of Artois was ruled under "proximity of blood", meaning that Mahaut was within her rights, especially as her nephew had not reached majority. This led to Robert spending most of his adult life intriguing and launching appeals (and even rebellions!) to get Artois back. One of those appeals was based on a ruling done on the County of Flanders. His last appeal involved perjury and he was sentenced in absentia by the King of France. After taking refuge among his relatives in Brabant and Namur, he fled to England where he became an advisor to the young King of England, urging him to take up arms against France, etc. He was even Earl of Richmond for a little while. When the King of France confiscated the Duchy of Guyenne, he cited Edward's protection of Robert of Artois as one of the main reasons. All because some Flemish peasant had killed his granddad while he was still a minor, 35 years prior. He is *the* main character of a series of books called The Accursed Kings (Les Rois Maudits), written by Maurice Druon. George R. R. Martin credited it as the single biggest inspiration behind the writing of A Song of Ice and Fire.

@nirfzАй бұрын
The french took "reclaiming trophies" serious. Maybe more serious than others. There's a little story from a little further south and a little later. During the napoleonic wars, a pesant "army" lead by an innkeeper/farmer beat a detachement of the Grande Armee + bavarian forces lead by one of Napoleons famous marshalls in tyrol. And they of course captured the flag of that french army. That flag, was hidden from the french, when napoleons army won in the east of austria and the peace treaty was signed. After the napoleonic wars were over, the local militia there flew the flag every year during their anual festivities. After WW1 the militia was disbanded and reformed as a traditional schooting club. And during their annual festival, they showed the flag still. After WW2 that area of austria went under french occupation. (the south was under british, the north west under US and the north east under soviet ocupation) French soldiers actually were tasked with finding the flag. They asked around for it, tried to convince children to tell them where it is by bribing them with sweets and chocolade. Imagine that, almost 130 years later, and they still tried to reclaim it. But in the end were unsuccessfull. In october 1955 the last occupatin soldiers left austria. In 1956 the tyroleans did their annual shooting clubs festivities again. And you can guess what they had among other things in their usual parade... (They still got the flag to this day, but they seldom bring it out as it is quite old and fragile now.) Now, i am not from tyrol, and i have not seen the flag in person. I just remember the story because at some anniversary of the battle it made it into the newspapers including pictures of the flag and even quotes of old people remembering french soldiers offering them sweets and chocolade for info on the flag when they were children at the time of occupation.

The correct pronunciation of "Schild en Vriend" appears to be an urban legend. If true it would have worked, the French not being able to utter any Flemish words, let alone the particular "sch". However it is more likely that the Flemish simply asked a question "zijt gij des gildens vriend ? " (are you a friend of the guilds ?). Failure to answer correctly would have ended with a bashed skull.

Mate, the suspense you managed to build in this.. And I've never had any kind of interest in Flanders for anything, ever. And you made their culture/history suddenly extremely interesting for me across this last half hour. Thank you so much. Not many things bring me more joy than the discovery of a reason to respect a culture that I had absolutely no interest in. I only bothered to watch anything about Flanders because it's one of your videos. Thanks again.

Do come over and see the old cities like Bruges, Ghent and Courtrai for yourself. There is much to see of that period. Greetings from Flanders!

As a Belgian, I've always enjoyed this story. Too bad this victory was followed by a massive defeat, though most history lessons stop after the victory :D

@@phild3936 Lol this battle is not the reason why there is still a Flemish community.... Read some history instead of the typical Flemish nationalist BS. This battle was all about economy/taxes and the early rise of the bourgeoisie/power of the guilds and the growing power of cities vs the king. Some years later there is even a more important battle going on in Flanders (battle of Westrozebeke in 1382) which was fought for the same reasons. The reason why there is still a Flemish community has more to do with the Burgundians and their legacy and the following inheritance of their feudal domain.
@robbedoes77Ай бұрын
@@phild3936 I didn't mean it wasn't impressive and very important for our history. I'm just saying it's often the specific battle that is mentioned, rather than the following aftermath. Consider how in 1838, a few years after Belgium became an independent country, Hendrik Conscience wrote 'The Lion of Flanders', a book of great renown in which he brings the story back to life. The publication date was no coincidence, as it was meant to bolster our nation and have people feel like we shared this history to tie us together. The story concludes with the battle and doesn't continue on to show how it was an important battle in a bigger war that we eventually ended up losing. I don't believe any comment is irrelevant; sharing thoughts and opinions is how we grow after all.

The Battle at Pevelenberg/Mons-en-Pévèle can hardly be considered a "massive defeat", nor was it a decisive victory. The treaty of Athis-sur-Orge was what brought the ultimate victory to France and was primarily signed to avoid yet another battle.

@@bartduinslaeger7289 They absolutely do. The vast majority of history teachers at least mention the following course of events. It's usually not talked about much when commemorating the Battle of the Golden Spurs in a non-academic context.

@@Raitar100 "On June 26, 1827, Joseph Henricus De Koninck, then husband to Elisabeth Cop, bought De Plaisante Hof. However, he died soon afterwards and his widow remarried Johannes Vervliet who bought back the goods from the inheritance in 1833. At that time Belgium was barely three years old (created in 1830). He turned the inn into a brewery which he named 'De Hand' (The Hand), after the aforementioned toll sign. By the time Johannes Vervliet died in 1845, the brewery's name was successful and its beer had become well-known. The name De Koninck appeared for the first time with Vervliet's stepson, Carolus De Koninck, who continued the business." (from wiki)
