So you decided to skip Patay. But of course there is 0 bias in this fucking channel. I can't wait to see your 5 minutes summary about the next 24 years of the war ! Maybe you're even going to, idk, briefly mention Formigny and Castillon ! But I should not be that optimistic. More seriously, you should have covered Patay. It's a blatant proof that heavy cavalry charges are not just dumb and useless tactics. Most people seriously think that longbowmen are some sorts of superhuman unbeatable warriors.

[@earthenjadis8199]

The Battle of Patay should have been covered in detail because it was important. A smaller French cavalry force ran down a force of English longbowmen at least twice their size for minimal losses. It showed that the English longbow tactics had fatal weaknesses that could be exploited to devastating effect when they were caught unprepared. In addition, each longbowman cut down was irreplaceable given how long it took to train them, so the loss of this force dealt a critical blow to the English army's capabilities for years.

Patay is probably more impotant than Orleans militarily, even if it wasn't as much of a turning point.

[@playabooboo]

@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 probably academic, in all reality she was an illiterate farm girl with premonitions of speaking to god. Although her origins were simple, she was a testament to what someone can do to boost morale. This doesn’t mean she was some godly tactician though, she wasn’t skilled in warfare or fighting so basically she was just propaganda for the french. Most of what was written about her was biased so its hard to know the real truth. One thing to note is the horrible treatment of her by the french in her virginity trials, it really shows how the french capitalized on her ability to boost morale of french lords so that france still had a winning chance. All in all, she was the reason why England was pushed out of the bulk of france and why france didn’t inevitably fall into english hands.

[@TheFiresloth]

Patay was a disaster for the english because Talbot tried to change his formations while the French vanguard of 1500 knights was already approaching ahead of the infantry. This allowed La Hire to pierce through their ranks and massacre their elite archers. Only Fastolf keeping his nerves allowed him to save half of the army. But those dead longbowmen were still a dear loss for England, and Talbot himself was captured.

[@hadrienraymond5224]

Patay is known as the English Agincourt. Many of their commanders were captured and the majority of their elite archers were killed, thus losing their main battle force for a generation. It also marks the end of the bow’s prevalence and paved the way to the french final victory in the Hundred Years War. But the french weren’t 6.000. The battle began with 180 french knights charging the English, slaughtering the archers and forcing the english knights to flee and then a force of 1.400 french men-at-arms came to finish the job. The french were led by La Hire, Xaintrailles and Chabannes. Joan didn’t even participate to the battle, being only warned that the battle had began. She stayed with the bulk of the army because the others french commanders didn’t want to expose her furthermore to injuries in a big scale open battle and because when they saw the English army they chose to attack quickly with their 180 knights before the english had time to fully prepare their usual formation with archers. That proved to be the rights choice.

@@salahddinebensebane8429 Yeah you're right, if she did something it was mostly through her charisma, nothing indicates her leadership went beyond that. But it was enough, as (after her first victories) it changed the mind of several French nobles who, before that, kind of saw the Plantagenet's claim on the throne of France as legitimate. To get the engine (on the french side) started, what was needed was mainly the will to fight and to actively support the Capetian's claim. In the end, we don't know what she really "thought". It's possible she really had "visions" and was a bit crazy after some trauma. It's also possible she was just a very intelligent girl who just used that as a political tool because she knew how to move people. Or maybe a bit of the two, I think she had to be a tiny bit of a religious zealot, to a certain point, but that she had the brain to purposefully exagerate a little to make people do what she wanted them to do.

[@sapphyrus]

It always amazed me how Jeanne could persuade the dauphin to lend him an army and how she could persuade the commanders to work with her. She hits the trifecta of underprivilege of medieval times: a illiterate peasant, an untested teenager and a girl. Any of those would unqualify her 99% of the time for her quest. It’s like one in ten thousand chances she could even embark on the relief campaign, but then she delivered when French were at the end of a long chain of defeats even on occasions when they were the stronger side. Then she comes in and practically steamroll the opposition and turn the tables. Whether one believes a intervention from a divine presence or not, her achievements are nothing short of miraculous as much as any other recorded by history. I’m inspired whenever I hear of her story.

@@lahire4943 I believe Orléans was the most important military encounter ! Should Orléans had fallen, the door to the Loire Valley would have been totally opened. Chinon would have been next , then Loches ! And, having the Dauphin ready to depart for Scotland and Yolande d'Anjou leaving , south. The Scottish troops were on French soil, possibly they would have stopped the English' advance. Patay and Azincourt were mainly ''tactical errors'' made by both sides, the English bowmen and the French knights. At Patay, the English were not preparing, by using wooden spikes for flank protection and were giving their position, by hunting. Stupid ! At Azincourt, the Knights badly calculated the distance of the English bowmen and were advancing in a soaked fields. Bad decision ! They thought they would have reached them easily since the bowmen were at that time, closer to them ... The English were using 31 inch arrows with a 800 to 1200 grain bodkin point, enough power to knock down a knight or a foot soldier, even if the bodkin needle point wouldn't pierced good solid armor. However, as seen on Medieval paintings, the Medieval War horses were killed by many arrows.... a sad scene and the knights were suddenly in peril.

C’est aussi la revanche de la journée des Harengs, bataille beaucoup moins connue qu’Azincourt, mais qui, sans l’intervention de Jeanne d’Arc, aurait eu d’énormes conséquences pour la France. La Journée des Harengs et la Bataille de Patay se sont déroulées pratiquement sur le même site (à 2 km de distance) à 20 km d’Orléans. Le combattants étaient en grande partie les mêmes ( Fastolf, Simon de Morhier, Dunois, La Hire, Xaintrailles et beaucoup d’autres…) Les 2 batailles ont été importantes. Suite à la Journée des Harengs, les français étaient sur le point d’abandonner Orléans, quant à la bataille de Patay, on peut dire qu’elle est le tournant de la guerre de Cent Ans. On a longtemps pensé que la Journée des Harengs s’était déroulée à Rouvray St Denis. En réalité c’était à Rouvray Ste Croix, plus au sud. Dans sa biographie de Fastolf, l’écrivain américain Stephen Cooper explique l’origine de l’erreur. The Battle of Patay is said to be Azincourt’s revenge. It is also the revenge of Herrings Day, a battle much less well-known than Azincourt, but which, without Joan of Arc's intervention, would have had enormous consequences for France. Herring Day and the Battle of Patay took place on virtually the same site (2 km away) 20 km from Orleans. The fighters were largely the same (Fastolf, Simon de Morhier, Dunois, La Hire, Xaintrailles and many others ...) The 2 battles were important. Following Herrings Day, the French were on the verge of abandoning Orleans, as for the Battle of Patay, it can be said that it was the turning point of the Hundred Years War. For a long time it was thought that Herring Day took place in Rouvray St Denis. In reality it was in Rouvray Ste Croix, further south. In his biography of Fastolf, American writer Stephen Cooper explains the origin of the error. (Google translate translation)

He didn't know Jehanne was jousting at the court of the Duke of Lorraine, in 1427 ! He was not aware Jehanne never used that particular family name '' d'ARC '' in her lifetime, it is simply an invention of the 17th century...( please see Prof Henri Guillemin, French Historian. ) How about the 12,500+ Scottish troops on French soil, which played a major role in the Hundred Year War, the 116 year war, to be exact. The Auld Alliance ?? Without he Scots....history would have been different. He didn't know that Perceval de Boulainvilliers , adviser to Charles VII, was in error concerning Jehanne la Pucelle'a day of birth.... and so on ....

@@nightfall5879 The menu histories were actually a fantastic thing to put in, to let people read the rea history if they want, or they can just play the game. I think it's indicative of the creators being history nerds themselves :)

A lesser known fact is that during the 100-years war is that the English actively tried to colonize and settle Normandy and other regions of France. Would've been interesting to see an alternative reality where Henry V lived.

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Actually, I agree (and I live few meters from the castle where Henry V died, in France : le château de Vincennes 🙂). Because at this time, England was 3 millions inhabitants, and France 20 millions. Most of the aristocrats families had anglo-norman-french roots (Bohun, family of Henry V's mother, Plantagenets themselves, Harcourt, Deverreux, etc, etc…). So, probably, as Henry V did, the capital would have moved to France, and to Paris, and the English elite would have been absorbed by the French one, because lot of them shared the same roots. And maybe, maybe it would have been a single country. But in my opinion, I don't think so. Despite their first military and political successes, Henry V and his heirs started a typical "medieval" war, when countries and nations were still a moving conception. But in the XVth century, France had already started to elaborate its "national identity" (in fact, the Hundred years war truly speeded the process lol), and an English king would have not been tolerated on a long term. Look what happened during the Reform : despite all the civil fights and wars between French catholics and French protestants, the foreign catholic family who conveyed the throne (the dukes de Guise) was rejected and a protestant prince, from the French royal family, was prefered, on the condition he would convert to catholicism. But even before his conversion, he was supported by the vast majority of the people. Because he was "French".
