[@advocatusdiaboli4861]

I read somewhere that after Napoleon's defeat Emperor Francis of Austria was visiting a province of his empire and saw well built roads. He asked who built them and was told Napoleon did as the province used to be a part of the Illyrian lands of the French Empire. To which the Austrian Emperor said he should've given all of his empire to Napoleon for a while so that all of it could have good roads lol.

Kings's Nickname are either coming from the nobility/people (Charles the Great (Charlemagne), Philippes Auguste, Saint Louis) or they are a propaganda for the king, (John II "the good" was indeed a good warrior, but a tyrant and a bad king during the hundred years war.) Charles VII "the mad" was clinically mad (schizophrenia?), Mad people usually end up as bad kings, and his disease was a really dark time for the kingdom.

[@BadGoloum]

He was called Charles « the bald » because he cut all his hair one time when the pope consacred a cathedral if i remember, it was a sign a submission to the church. The custom for frankish kings was to have long and beautiful hairs. So yeah, Charles the bald.

They actually returned a very small part of it - the town of Landau and surroundings, visible but not labeled in the video at 3:31 - but only in the Second Treaty of Paris, after France had again challenged the whole of Europe after already having been defeated. One has to admire France and its successful expansion over so many centuries, and its first class diplomacy that allowed it to keep most of the conquered lands, despite having brought war, suffering and chaos to all of Europe.

Actually the french territory (as a kingdom) didn't change during the Angevin's empire time (1200's), it's just that de facto the king of France didn't have real control over it, but let's say "officially" it was still vassal territories in the kingdom of France. So it was like Normandy before that, which you kept as French. I think in both cases just putting a lighter blue would have been better. So that people can see the change but still know it's not a territorial annexion.

Beaucoup trop d'imprecisions, dans la description il met que la Bretagne a été rattachée à la france avec une fausse date pour mettre fin à une "ambiguïté " d'après lui seulement alors que la Bretagne était bien administrée par elle-même sans hommage lige à la France avant 1532. Je doute beaucoup du sérieux de la vidéo
