More wars of the roses?! You're the Best! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The quality of visuals and audio narration made me feel like I wasn't watching a YouTube video, but almost apart of the actual events during that period. Unbelievable quality, your productions get better with each passing release.

The magnates present at the battle on the Lancastrian side were: Duke of Somerset, Duke of Exeter, Son of the Duke of Buckingham, Earl of Northumberland, Earl of Devon, Earl of Wiltshire & Ormond, Viscount Beaumont, Baron Moleyns & Hungerford, Baron Dacre, Baron Clifford, Baron Neville, Baron Rivers, Baron Welles, Baron Willoughby, Baron Ros, Baron Richemont, Baron Maulay, Baron Codnor, Baron Fitzhugh and Bishop of Carlyle. 7 rich Knights. Scottish mercenaries and Militia from York.

The magnates on the Yorkist side were: Duke of York (Edward IV), Duke of Norfolk, Duke of Suffolk, Earl of Warwick & Salisbury, Son of the Earl of Arundel, Viscount Bourchier, Baron Fauconberg, The men of Baron Fitz Walter (killed at Ferrybridge), Baron Stanley, Baron Grey, Baron Clinton, Baron Dudley, Baron Scrope of Bolton. 8 rich Knights and Esquires. Kentish men raised by commission of array.

That's 1 King, 4 Dukes, the son of 1 Duke, 4 Earls, the son of 1 Earl, 2 Viscounts, 18 Barons and the men of 1 Baron. Edward IV was the Duke of York, the Earl of March, the Earl of Cambridge, and the Earl of Ulster, making him the most powerful man on the battlefield.

I love how you described them seeing the kings standard and shouting ‘your king fights’. You forget these uneducated peasants would never meet the king, but march fight and die for him whenever called. To see him in the fray must have filled them with adrenaline and pride

The moment i saw those red cavalry units in the forest after you mentioned Edward's father and brother died on an ambush supposedly devised byba former ally i thought "man, Edward's not gonna like this"

On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, Britain lost 20K soldiers killed. Machine guns, poison gas, flamethrowers, planes and massive artillery.

This battle, 500 years prior, lost 28K killed. With just bows, spears and swords. A bloody massacre, that has still never been topped as our bloodiest day.

That fact %3 of all of England was there, basically %6 of all males. Blew my mind. I love learning new stuff. Thank you

I hope Edward found some peace being able to lay his family to rest. I can't imagine the rage he must have felt.

i like the more narrative aspects of the video. great job mate

It is astonishing to consider that whereas some 20,000 men went down on the first day of the Battle of The Somme in 1916 at the hands of German machine-gunners and field guns etc, some 28,000 were killed in one day at Towton from archers, swords, pikes, halberds etc. S truly horrific rate of killing.

I live in Wakefield and the two biggest battlefields in the uk are on my doorstep basically, Towton and the English civil War battlefield of Marston Moor. A wealth of history all around. Excellent programme and topic with amazing narration, top notch

you always make me feel like I'm there, in the battle, on the march, your way of telling stories is so immersive and addicting. Thank you, you always make my weekend better.

You're the Best historymarche! Your documentaries and narration are second to none! Please consider doing the battle of Barnet (death of the Kingmaker) and of Tewekesbury (Death of Edward, son of henry Vi and margaret lf anjou)

It is easy to forget how many battles were fought by men who just wanted to go home.

I love that you use a historically accurate map of the coastline as it was then and the undrained fens

Map at 11:48 introduced me to the The Fens, a marshy era north of Cambridgeshire that was drained in the 16-17th century. Much of it is now below sea level, but protected by Dams, dikes, pumping stations, etc etc. 400k people live there

Absolutely fascinated with this battle. A massive part of English History. It has lots of twists and turns and is epic in scale. Never understood why it's never been made into a warfilm. Great choice, great graphics 👍 👌 👏
