The concluding battle of the Hundred Years’ War.Battle of Castillon.

Battle of Castillon, (July 17, 1453), the concluding battle of the Hundred Years’ War between France and England.
The French had won Guyenne and Gascony back from English rule in 1451, but their long-unfamiliar regime soon proved objectionable to many of the inhabitants, who therefore welcomed the arrival at Bordeaux of an English army under the Earl of Shrewsbury (John Talbot) in October 1452. In the following summer French forces, powerfully armed with Jean Bureau’s recently introduced field artillery, approached for a second reconquest of Guyenne-to start with the siege of the pro-English stronghold of Castillon, on the lower Dordogne River upstream from Libourne. They fortified their camp outside Castillon very strongly; and Shrewsbury, having advanced against them with 1,000 horsemen some way ahead of his 5,000 foot soldiers, attacked the camp prematurely in the mistaken belief that it was being abandoned. The French cannon inflicted heavy losses on the dismounted cavalry; and though some of Shrewsbury’s infantry came up during the hour of battle, the English troops were finally routed by a sortie. Shrewsbury was killed, the garrison in Castillon surrendered the next day, and the capitulation of Bordeaux in October restored Guyenne and Gascony to France and ended the war.

Only few of us know how much work this video requires... Great job!

[@micahistory]

yo, one legend meets another

[@battlesin3d70]

Thanks!

[@micahistory]

great video, i have never seen this battle animated before

[@GGdeTOURS37]

TY to have the courage to also speak about some English lost battles! This is rare from the English historians and I respect you very much for that! Guillaume - City of Tours - France

There is loads of content online created by English historians about English defeats if that's your fetish. Redcoat History has a video "5 worst defeats of the Victorian era." He has videos that cover defeats in the American Revolution, Indian Mutiny, Boer War, Zulu War, etc. The English don't celebrate or romanticise defeats like celtic nations do, but they don't conceal them either.

@@sasanachmor "The English don't celebrate or romanticise defeats like celtic nations do, but they don't conceal them either". No ?......What about Dunkirk, while you sneer at France for surrendering in what was a hopeless situation. France had already seen 200,000 + dead while you lost a total of 400,000 in 6 years.

[@sasanachmor]

@@PatrickButler-pp4hh Dunkirk is celebrated as the victory of the everyday little people who banded together to pull something out of the jaws of complete defeat. They celebrate the little boats, not the soldiers who fought and died at Dunkirk, because they lost. Victoria Crosses aren't even given out in losing actions, despite how brave anyone was. Arnhem was different because the soldiers were put in a situation that they never could have won. The soldiers who died in the failures at Crete, Singapore and Hong Kong are never given a second thought. Respectfully, the Welsh, Irish and Scottish have historically celebrated and written songs about Culloden, the Battle of the Boyne, Wolfe Tone, Bonnie Prince Charlie and Owen Glendower but I can't think of any think of any English equivalents. If an English general dies in an unsuccessful action, they are unsung and it's considered that they did the only decent thing by dying so they didn't have to be court martialled and executed. After the Battle of Fontenoy the King's own brother was court-martialled and it was only the proof of his personal bravery that kept him from execution. The French are more level-headed and don't write their inglorious dead out of history. That's not a criticism, that's just an observation on cultural difference. We only have a lot of history recorded because the French had a cultural difference in recording history. We only have lots of songs, poems and literature because the Celtic peoples of Great Britain and Ireland have a cultural difference in artistic subjects. Is Éireannach í mo bhean chéile.

Thank you for this video! We hear too little about French military victories! 🙂

[@PaulinAsia_]

Thank you for the video. I never heard of the Battle of Castillon. Such a defeat for the English.

[@NeroPh.D]

nice video

[@alexbardoux7297]

Congratulation for your excellent pronounciation of the french names, however hard it is ! (i sometimes miss). A sad story for lord Talbot and his son . The story of the one hundred years battles tells that attack is inferior to defense in this period.

[@pinkysuspegasus]

Awesome video, as always. Is there a way to support your work? Buy me a coffe, Patreon or anything else? Also, just a quick question/suggestion: During the visualisation of the first english attack (app 5:00 - 6:33), don't you think that the french cannonade would have somehow disrupted the formation of the attacker, which should hence look a bit more rugged/distorted, than it does in the video?

[@battlesin3d70]

Hi. I've enabled the "sponsor" feature on my channel. You're probably right about breaking formation, I'll try to use that in the next video. Thanks!

[@destroyer0685]

This is the English method: hey didille let's go up the middle

[@Misael.8966]

Joan of Arc prophesied that the English would lose the war in France. very good video.

[@Trebor74]

Joan of arc was a myth. Created during the Napoleonic period in order to give France an anti-english heroine.

[@battlesin3d70]

Sorry I accidentally deleted a comment

[@PortmanRd]

Two years later, and the English would be bang it again. But this time amongst themselves. Obviously got bored. 😅

[@christianguiraud7625]

Too many mistakes. Good effort anyway.

[@sasanachmor]

Liberated? Silly and inaccurate phrase as Normandy and Aquitaine were ancestral lands of the Plantagenets for hundreds of years. You are applying the modern concept of nationalism incorrectly to a period of time centuries before it was developed. The Bordelaise feared the French conquest at the time.

[@PatrickButler-pp4hh]

You lost. And 571 years after the event, I suggest you get over it. And for the record in the many battles between French and English, the French won more battles than the English. Look it up.

[@sasanachmor]

@PatrickButler-pp4hh I didn't fight in it, so I didn't lose. I am also "over it". I don't need to look it up because I have already read multiple history books, wiki-boy. If you read what I said, it was a comment on the misapplication of modern thought and terminology to a time period where that didn't apply. If your podcasts and tiktok history have taught you any big words, that's an "anachronism". A "no-no" (term on your level) for history.

[@PatrickButler-pp4hh]

@@sasanachmor Oh dear. Your petulant (another big word) reply says it all about you. Ar do rothar anois a stór.......

[@sasanachmor]

@PatrickButler-pp4hh If I was too aggressive and personal in my response, I apologise. I had a bad stomach ache this morning when I replied, which explains but doesn't excuse my rudeness.

[@PatrickButler-pp4hh]

@@sasanachmor Apologies are a rarity in these exchanges, where ego often plays a very subjective role, so I respect you for that. Hand on heart I also am a keen student of history, but I am acutely aware that, as they say, "History is written by the victors". As a proud Irish European my greatest wish is that our great continent will finally stop decimating itself every generation or so. But sadly, some have been at war for so long that it is by now in their DNA. Slán leat...Guten Tag......bonne journée.....e buona giornata a te.
