You've nearly single-handedly fostered a love for medieval English history in me, and I'm sure in others as well. Thank you for what you do!

In tribute to Henry Hotspur, whilst I was stationed in Shrewsbury in the early 80s, that part of the national bus company was called Hotspur!

This has easily become one of my favorite channels. As someone who has loved and studied medieval history for years it is wonderful to see it put into view through your amazing story telling and miniature dioramas. Thanks a bunch!

Another thing i find super impressive about the prince of wales was that he was around 14 in this battle headbutting arrows and leading men to victory.

Excellent video as usual Mr Hicks. Tbh, the job of King of England in the middle ages was probably the most dangerous job in history. From William I to James II, over 50% died in battle, were deposed, murdered with red hot pokers up the bum, "accidentally" shot in the New Forest, died of gangrenous arrow wounds, choked on lampreys, shat themselves to death outside Rouen, or in some other way met a non-natural end. Not a job I'd want. Compared to other Monarchy's, being King of England was a very tough gig.

The way you tell these stories always impress me. I just can’t imagine how brutal these battles were. How could survivors possibly live normally the rest of their lives after witnessing that? Really incredible.
