The Battle of Crécy took place on 26 August 1346 in northern France between a French army commanded by King Philip VI and an English army led by King Edward III. The French attacked the English while they were traversing northern France during the Hundred Years' War, resulting in an English victory and heavy loss of life among the French.
The English, not British, sorry there are some errors in the script.. new video will be about battle of Hastings
England and Whales create British
Still a cool video! Thanks for uploading
Hehe... 'Warvick'..? 'Valios'..? It's totally cool, though. Great video. I subscribe in the hope of more to come.
Well there were welsh there
So... uh... when's the next video coming out?
Fun fact: the black prince was so impressed with the king of bohemia bravery, that he adopted his personal badge, the ostrich feather, as his own. Its been the badge of the princess of wales ever since
Another fun fact is not once has any Prince of Wales successfully comanded any whales in any military action
Princes? Or Princess?
@@slide4180 The person meant to put princes.
@tacfoley in German, not Welsh as some think.
Bravery? The man was either suicidal or insane. A blind man has no place on a battlefield.
So your plan is to rush a tired army of knights uphill and frontally into a well-prepared position of spearmen? King of France: "Yes! It will be glorious! And I want it to be done piece-meal to decrease the effectiveness even more!"
"I don't know, something is wrong about this, something is missing ... ah, now I remember: On your way up the hill, don't forget to ride through and trample down our retreating crossbowmen. Thanks.
Unfortunately, like all these animated recreations, you've missed the most important part of the battlefield, which determined the disposition and movements of both armies. From the Route de Fontaine in the south almost to Wadicourt in the north, the Vallee des Clercs is lined to the west with a 45-degree overgrown bank ranging from 2 to 6 metres deep, over which an armoured man-at-arms would have trouble passing, and a mounted knight had no chance at all. It's a geological feature that was there in 1346, and if you look for it, you can still follow its line on Google maps after nearly 7 centuries of ploughing the surrounding fields. I doubt the French knew of its existence until their scouts stumbled across it, but one would imagine Edward did when he chose to defend the ridge to the west. It's presence meant the French army had to march in close formation up the Fontaine road under the arrows of the English and Welsh archers on the ridge, and then deploy across the Black Prince's battle-front, all the while being shot at distances of around 200 yards before they even began to advance. It's for this reason that the Prince's Battle bore the brunt of the fighting. The huge disproportion in dead between the two armies suggests very few of the French charges even closed with the ranks of English men-at-arms and archers, or the Welsh archers and spearmen. But however many actually did, they didn't come in long lines stretching across the valley north to south between Wadicourt and Crecy. Edward's choice of battlefield, like Wellington's 470 years later, was one of the key determinants in deciding the outcome of the battle.
I bet you are fun at parties
K
nice
@@maximillianhovar5877 Said King Philip VI as his knights tumbled down the bank. Happy to stick a shaft of goose-feathered steel in your ignorance at 200 yards, Herr Maximilian von Hovar.
@@maximillianhovar5877 😂😂
I've heard other sources which say the crossbowmen didn't leave their shields behind due to overconfidence, the luggage cart carrying the shields was further back in the convoy and hadn't made it to the battlefield in time
Overconfidence is probably unlikely and an embellishment. It's like saying the knights left their Armor because they were overconfident.
That's the truth, and also much of their ammunition. They were far from over-confident and (wisely) made barely a token effort at engaging the archers without the cover of their pavise.
@M We will never know
@M The chance of them prevailing in an exchange with longbowmen was pretty much zero but that doesn't mean it wouldn't have affected the battle's outcome.
@M Not true. But they would still have lost the exchange.
I see a great future for this channel. Keep it going and keep them comming. I've been expecting something like this for a while now, the time of squares and rectangles standing in for armies is coming to an end. The time of 3rd animated battles is upon us. What a time to be alive.
Only if they pronounce the names correctly
Now this is a great idea for a series, i’ve watched many history videos and the battles are always simulated with circles and squares from a bird’s eye views. This gives us a more 3D view of the battle and I look forward to seeing more videos from you
thanks, next battle will be battle of Hastings
The best use Attila Total War with a medieval mod.
Holy heck yes! I LOVE that the epic history documetaries are making their way to KZhead now and more ppl are having their own take on the genre! I can already see this channel gaining millions of subs and the battles being more and more epic! the 3d nature of it is also extremely original and you can actually realize the full SCALE of these battles instead of just seeing squares move on a background
Excellent animation! If only we could watch all the historic battles like this! Outstanding work attesting the capabilities of modern hardware.
I LOVE your animation, really gives perspective to the size of the battle that you don’t get elsewhere. The narration is fantastic as well - 1 new sub here!
I love your delivery, it adds so much to your excellent production. Well done.
Excellent work on the video mate, it's nice to see a visual representation of the battle, hopefully there are many more to come and from various time periods as well.
Well done ,most enjoyable,you could clearly see all that took place and the commentary was nice and clear,looking forward to more of same!
I really enjoyed this! The music coupled with the storytelling and animation was done to a very good quality. I can't wait to see if anything else is planned next.
thanks!!!
I like this form of presentation. Watching colorful rectangles disintegrate is fun, but seeing actual soldiers move and fall is even cooler
After watching this I clicked to see if you had any other videos. Realising you haven’t I encourage you to make more great ones like this.
Thank you, Im making Battle of Hastings...
@@battlesin3d70 waaa i love your narration
Best history channel and animations makes the battle very immersive please make more
Amazing production value as well as overall quality!
Superb reconstruction of the events of Crecy! I hope that you make more excellent videos in the future. I was wondering if you could recreate the battles of Cowpens or Legnano?
Amazing approach to historical battles, I would love to see more context from you
Neat. I'm such a fan of animated battles, and I wanted to do some in 3D during the gunpowder age. Thanks for the inspiration, I'll be following you to see how things go.
thanks!
I'm amazed that this is the first video for this channel! I'm happy to subscribe. I very much look forward to seeing this channel grow. The narrator is awesome.
I believe you have a winner of a channel. I look forward to further episodes. I am going to now share this with my friends!
Congrats! Amazing narration and animations! So immersive
This is one of the best productions of battle i've ever seen. I really really really like this. Would love Napolean campaigns in this sort of production style.
That would be amazing , Waterloo maybe could be possible but the numbers were huge at around 210'000 men on the battlefield so that could be a challenge. Also some of the Napoleonic battles were spread across massive areas ,Vitoria for instance was spread across 20 miles so they may be very tricky if its even possible. Personally I think these style animations at this scale are perfect for Rome battles , Viking battles and Byzantine battles , the crusades would be great too , basically the whole classical and medieval period , oh and pike and shot period would fit perfectly also!
@@robdee81 My dream is to make Waterloo, may be later...
Good work I watch alot of these style videos and you are doing well hope to see more soon thanks
excellent idea , excellent performance . if you continue like that you will be one of best historical channels to ever exist . subscribed and waiting for more 👏
This was awesome! please keep making this for more battles!
Wow i feel lucky to of stumbled upon this brand new channel , i really enjoyed the battle animation and expect this channel to grow huge if you keep the quality this high. As one of your first subscribers i'm looking forward to the journey as you grow , good luck!
Thanks!!!
I look forward to you making many more videos like this!
For a military history nerd like myself, this is awesome. More of these, please. A lot more.
Really enjoyed this, looking forward to your next video.
This production is excellent.
great work ! please more ! Napoleonic wars, Crusaders, 30years war, etc.
Thank you - very illuminating !
Great presentation of one ugly battle in a nasty war. The conflicts between my country & France have been brutal to say the least. I take more inspiration from the channel tunnel & concorde. Two great nations working in collaboration. That's what we need more of nowadays.
Although that's not very likely, as human nature doesn't change.
Yes I agree The trouble too with accounts of the Hundred Years War is that English history books pump up Crecy Poitiers and Agincourt while domplaying Du Guesclin and Jeanne Darc while French ones do the precise opposite! My favourite character from the late mediaeval age was Margaret of Anjou a French queen of England! Vive La France et Vive L'Angleterre!!
Absolutely bad ass video, bud! Keep it up, I’d totally see it! Definitely going to subscribe
This is awesome, wow! Can’t wait for your next video! I read you use Blender. Did you model everything in this video from 0?! That must take forever! Keep it up!
I like the style and the work. 100k views in a month is good for a new channel. You have my sub.
Awesome video, looks amazing! More! More!
Hope to see many more of these.
Holy crap. This is exactly the type of video/channel I was hoping to find when looking for this battle. Can’t wait to watch more videos.
this is so much better than most of the battle videos
i need more of this :( keep up the great work btw
This was great. Keep em coming.
Looking forward to more!
Now I know a little of the battle of Crecy, thanks. I enjoyed.
Amazing keep it coming! Best of luck to you and your new channel!
This is amazing! It's so easy to follow in 3d
Love the soldiers eye view, the topography and the likely spot of casualties as they charged in. Personally if I came up against a well defended position and being able to use mobility, I would of moved around to the right and charged in. With the river at their backs, the English would have no escape route.
That would have just stiffened their resolve. No retreating!
Fun fact: In the span of 58 years two Czech kings fell in a battle. Both these battles took place on August 26th...
it is so well done, congrats
Nice one. Everyone agreed that this channel will grow well. We will watch your channel with great interest.
Excellent video. I am sure if this continues the channel will have a million subscribers
very exciting. great commentary. what an amazing guy the blind john of bohemia, was.
The enthousiasm is infectious!
Now I see great potential for this channel, glad to be an early discoverer, alike with Kings & Generals - and look how they grew!
thanks!
THis is amazing, howI always wanted to see a battle. Immediate subscribe
I enjoyed this very much. Yes, English not British (this term only came in the early 18th century with the union of England and Scotland) although to be very accurate you could say Anglo-Welsh, because many of the archers were Welsh.
Excellent video. Very impressive.
Fantastic graphics, looking forward to seeing some more historical battles from you. I'm surprised that Hollywood never made a film the Black Prince. If Peter Jackson was involved,it would be brilliant!
I love this... plz make more , it is very entertaining
Beautiful work!Subscribed.
Wow if this is your first vid we're in for some crazy production values in the future! Congrats :)
What a great video! Would you consider rendering a recreation of The battle of Fornovo 1495, in a future video?
maybe later, Im making the battle of Hastings now
Amazin work! Keep it up soon this will be most visiting History Chanel, add some presequences like why battle happend or what lead to this confrontation. But i bet u know what to do what more u want to bring,i cant wait for more battle AWESOME JOB! (please made also Ancient Rome battles)
Hey I like your content and presentation. Solid work 👍 In case you haven't played any of the Total War PC games, you can set up great animations with them. Or even Mount & Blade Bannerlord.
Love the narration..
The reference to "British" is anachronistic - if there were any Scots present they would have been in the French king's guard, although some of the bowmen fighting for Edward were probably Welsh.
Nice historical representation, well done. If I could make one suggestion: It would be great if the video was considerably brightened - I had to put my screen up to maximum, which burns my eyes with any other content.
This is awesome! How do you make these?
I just recently subscribed and enjoyed the battle.Looking forward to The Battle of Hastings
This is amazing How do you not have more subs?!
thanks!!!
Nice video. Hope this channel grows. Keep it up.
thanks
Great storytelling and awesome animation! INSTANT SUBSCRIPTION 😎 hope you prosper
Damn good job sir please send us more..
Noice and toit. Enjoyed it alot, Thanks!
Amazing, this is how battles should be presented
Fantastic video, friend.
Amazing animations and commentary! Which sources did you use for this video?
I talked with some historians and read some books- ospray and others, I cant find it now..
WE NEED MORE OF THIS
Very well narrated.
Very cool video. One note, the French knights actually ran down the fleeing Genoese crossbowmen.
You mean the horses weren't 'knitted'?
Very nice work.
Nice concept! You seem to be focused on British stuff but I hope you do Canae at some point, my fav battle 🤩
Please make many more of these
He says, “All these factors did not allow heavily armed cavalry to strike with a monolithic mass,” while the graphic shows the cavalry striking with a monolithic mass. Do you watch the computerized imagery before you put this up?
>I've got a giant group of Knights with incredible mobility! >Okay let's charge them up this damp hill into the stakes that are set up without occupying any of the archers! Brilliant tacticians
Damm this was great!
Nice effort. Liked and subbed and shared.
I cant believe It took me a year to see this video. Glad I did
Dude… pretty sick!
Expect 10 more vids by the end of the month OK !..subbed
thanks
Great Content
thanks!!!
Subscribers may be interested to know that Welsh bowmen from the town of Llantrisant in South Wales also fought on behalf of King Edward . On a motoring holiday in France a few years ago I was surprised to see road signs on the outskirts of Crecy announcing that the town was " Twinned " with Llantrisant .
Solid! Top KEK!
Blows my mind all the horses in the initial charge were wounded in 30 seconds. So wild to comprehend that absolute madness.
John of Bohemia was like a historical Klingon. “Today is a good day to die”
SUbscired dude. I can't wait for you to cover many and many battles to come.
Nice work. I've been struggling for more than a year with 3D animated battles, and I usually don't get much more than 10k to 20k views within a year. I'm really interested to know how you got so many views on your initial video. Are they organic or paid views?
They are all organic
I just upload video, I did nothing special...
@@battlesin3d70 Hmm, that's pretty interesting indeed. Don't get me wrong, your work is lovely, and your voice-over is excellent. I was under the impression that a groundbreaking 3D concept would help my channel to make a breakthrough, and indeed your performance proves that 3D animated battles have the potential to attract a huge audience very quickly. Feel free to check out my work when you have time. I've been struggling with 3D animated battles for over a year now, and the results range from flat-out complete flops to 29k views within 7 months, which is my "best" performance on a 3D video. Maybe the vo? It could also be that the topic is pretty "hot" right now? Lately, I suspected that there could be something wrong with my channel -algorithm related, and your performance kinda strengthens this impression... But I'm not sure. I love your work, by the way. I wish you all the best in this endeavour, but it's obvious you will perform much better than me.
Hi, I would maybe try a different thumbnail style (say a top down battleline). More Military less computer game.
