🚩 Battle of Halidon Hill (1333) played a big part in the development of English military tactics. Edward III would later use the same defensive setup to confound the mounted chivalry of France at the Battles of Crécy and Poitiers. This was Edward III’s first battle and the only one that he fought in England. At Halidon Hill he witnessed the strength of the defensive combination of archers and dismounted men-at-arms already used to great effect by Edward Balliol the previous year at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in Scotland.

Day 1 of asking history marche to finish the 2nd punic wars series
"Recently I watched a popular Spanish action show". Really I live in Spain and the TV is shite. I have no idea what a "popular Spanish action show" is – there was Los Hombres de Paco about 15 years ago. Its all Reggaetón, football, naked influencers – shite. There are no action shows. Nobody in there right mind watches Spanish TV. What are you talking about ? Maybe I should come to your country and make stuff up? "Recently I have been watching a popular Lithuanian series about the persecution of the Jews under the Nazis and how we enjoyed it.".
"No prisoners? Mind if I do…"
My dad lost ancestors in this battle. He was a Menteith by way of Schultz to Rathbone.
Why didn't the Scots use their calvary to deal with the English longbow men? And why didn't they outflank the English?
Edward II was a weak and incompetent homosexual.
Oh dear the narrator strikes again. You would think a Scot would know that Moray is pronounced Murray and that Seton is See-ton not set-on.
Good video otherwise about a battle a lot of people are unaware
Good video
you are the greatest youtbuer of alltime
Sacrifice for the algorithm! Hearth please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I see a common thread in these battles.
A lack of patience seems to be the undoing of most militaries of the sword and spear era wars.
I know they were trying to save a town in this case, but leaving the marsh into an arrow filled killing field was a pretty dumb move.
A Hannibal like move to send a force in initially and retreat to the marsh, spurring an advance from the young King, would've allowed for an ambush to be set where the long bowmen would have been useless.
I just love how Scotland is depicted free of the english in this map
cool
God, Balliol line was such a cursed one.
If Scotland instead looked for an Alliance and merging with England and Wales to then jointly invade France they would have done so with ease. Fighting and looting in Northern England was moronic and pointless when France was so much more wealthy.
Very
Thank you, again. Always well done.
Need Battle of Nahavand 642 AD
nice!
You told me you were working on Hannibal p20😢
Lingo Pie will actually be perfect for me and my Gf awesome lmao
Please, please finish the second Punic War series! That campaign has been delayed long enough
Watched it early on Patreon and watching it again!
An outstanding video! 🏹🔥⚔
27:34 "To Hammer home"
I see what you did there 😉
Apart from Edward the 1st, Edward Balliol was one of the worst things ever to happen to Scotland. The man was a weed! Alba Gu Brath 🏴
