🚩 I merged all parts of the William the Conqueror series into one video for easier viewing.
🚩 William's story is truly a remarkable one. He endured a childhood in which others battled to seize his title and lands and had fought wars against his neighbours in France. But William the Conqueror is best known for his invasion of England in 1066. In the years that followed he conquered England, made agreements in Wales and turned the Scottish King into a vassal.

They do put biases in their videos, in their video on the Battle of Bosworth Field they literally portray Richard III as a demon. But then there's nothing wrong with bias to tell a story if it is done intelligently.

It was probably a mix of that and William's patience. Looking through the details of the battle it's almost hard to believe that William took the engagement, but he bided his time and allowed the English to grow frustrated and impatient with constant charges and withdrawals. It was a gamble, the English lines easily could have held their discipline and probably won by standing still, but it paid off in the end.

The problem Is that Harold technically usurped the Throne ,so he could had some enemy that see William as a lessen danger,as. well the fighting against Harald didn't did well for the strenght of Harold army..but he could had won this Battle if he was able to control his troops.. However,in a flat terrain his army was no Match for the heavy cavalry of William
@duanemiller5606
@duanemiller5606 Жыл бұрын
@@alessandrogini5283 there are several ways to beat Calvary charges. The most simple was dig pits as the horses charge their legs with step into the pit and snap the horses leg, causing the horse to fall to the ground the rider to fly off and the Thrashing horse was an obstacle to the cavalry charge. Then there’s those spikes I forget what they’re called. There are two pieces of metal welded together with sharpened ends that are bent out so that when you drop them three of the points will be on the ground as a base and the fourth prong will be sticking straight up, so if the horse steps on it, it will cripple the horse. Thirdly, there’s the most famous probably of all the defenses, The pike. The big long pointy stick, and whether it’s driven into the ground is a more permanent, defensive line or just a long sharp pole held by soldiers. It is very effective, because no horse will run onto a wall of sharp pointy sticks. So if Harold find some more defensible area to stop that will not be so advantageous to Williams Calvary, and waits for his reinforcements, while letting his own men recover from the battle and forced march. It puts William in the position of either attacking Harold before all his reinforcements get to him, which means William hast to March thus sapping his troops of some of their strength, when they arrive to do battle, putting both sides on a more even keel in regards to exhaustion. Williams, fine Calvary is no longer a major player, so William is in trouble. William will have to attack Harold’s much more defendable location or sit and wait until Herald out numbers his men to where he can no longer have a chance at winning possibly meaning that William would have to leave England and be harassed all the way out. Let us not forget William was not exactly loved in Normandy. There have been people trying to usurp his power since he was just a child, and his father died, because he was technically an illegitimate child, which means he should not have been able to inherit Control of Normandy let alone England.

I love Hadrada’s life story, but I think Goodwinson surprise him with that force March from London. I mean he knew they were in the south coast waiting for Billy and in 7 days they were on his face. Big credit to Goodwinson for that, he tried to replicate it coming down south and even managed to get a good defensive position, however he should have bid his time and regroup better and maybe replenish his housecarls. You cannot win HH and Billy the Conqueror b2b without rest. Anyways, just making my point that Goodwinson is a little bit underrated for all he achieved tho.

"And Ardant du Picq points out that in all his years of conquest, Alexander the Great lost only seven hundred men to the sword. His enemy lost many, many more, but almost all of this occurred after the battle (which appears to have been an almost bloodless pushing match), when the enemy soldiers had turned their backs and begun to run. Carl von Clausewitz makes the same point when he notes that the vast majority of combat losses historically occurred in the pursuit after one side or the other had won the battle. (Why this occurs is a subject that will be looked at in detail in the section "Killing and Physical Distance.")" [Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, On Killing, Revised Edition, 2009]

The talk of "unlicensed" cables towards the start of this video has me interested. How exactly did this "licencing" of castles work? Who had the authority (I imagine centrally it would have been the king but it also could have a system for devolution im not sure). If anyone can point me in the right direction to do some research that would be much appreciated

Its like you think it is. It is the same with cities allowed to having walls and such, that practice is as old as time itself and was granted by rulers especially if they had a foreign ruler. Its inverse is also time tested: city walls were often broken down or gaps were created when you were conquered to prevent the region from becoming too strong of an opposing force. While effective in subdueing, it leaves a region unprotected so it was often accompanied with granting rights to other (often minorities/counter balancing) powers in the region. However the best strategy is to have a stable political alliance, because then you could have both, and that is exactly what people found in William and thus flocked to his will.

Hey Buddy can you start making a series on How Marathas defeated mughals in India. There were many battles which happened and a lot of guerilla tacticts which were used by Marathas to defeat mughals. This IMO is Indian Game of Thrones and would take 1 whole series where you can cover different battles such as Battle of Pratapgard, Battle of Pawankind etc. I think you can attract a lot of Indian Audiences from this. Thanks!

“Hinduism and its gods,” says Sir Alfred Lyall: “are a troubled sea, without shore or visible horizon, driven to and fro by the winds of boundless credulity and grotesque invention. A tangled jungle of disorderly superstitions, ghosts and demons, demi-gods and deified saints, household gods, tribe gods, local gods, universal gods, with their countless shrines and temples, and din of their discordant rites, deities who abhor a fly’s death, those who delight still in human victims, and those who would not either sacrifice or make offerings, such religious chaos.” [Asiatic Studies, Vol 1, pp 2, 3]

Like other accounts, this one misrepresents Harold's march north to Stamford Bridge. Mobilizing an army and marching it north almost certainly took at least 10 days. Medieval armies traveled at an average rate of between 15 and 20 miles per day. Harold would have been foolish to have force-marched an army north only to it arrive exhausted and unprepared to face the Norwegians. Additionally, no mention is made of Harold's tactical errors at Stamford Bridge that resulted in significant English casualties. The heavy losses at the Battle of Fulford (which was not the one-sided battle implied in this video) and at Stamford Bridge almost certainly impacted the outcome of the Battle of Hastings.

great work though William was not a "great king of England". His reign was basically about crushing every saxon resistance & massacre the local population. After the conquest, he spent most of his time in Normandy where he died in 1087.
