Please never change the guy narrating the videos

[HighlandFace]

I like this Narrator so much, he talk slowly and with emphasize, so much that it can catch your listening with ease.

As a Flemish person, pretty cool to see a big history chanel talk about something so ingrained in my culture.

[TarpeianRock]

I’m from West Flanders and proud of my forefathers fighting to be free from the French dominance. It must have taken a whole lot of courage as a peasant or burgher to fight these highly trained French knights. Respect !

[SirThanksalot_]

Fun fact: at the start, the "Goedendag" is mentioned. It means "good day" as when the opponent is struck in the neck or head, he nods as if greeting you.

As a fleming, I must give compliments on the pronounciation of flemish towns and the weapons that the flemings used. Not perfect, but very good indeed!

[KaptainGonzo]

Yet another wonderful rendering of history. Thank you.

[mrc]

they actually didn't say "shield and friend" (or in old flemish: "schild en vriend") but they asked "des gilden vriend ?" or translated "are you a friend of the guilds ?". The french, not understanding the question got murdered.
It was because of the oral passing of the story and an how "des" is abbreviated to the word " 's " that we got the phrase " 's gilden vriend ?" mixed up with "schild en vriend" since the pronounciation of those two would have been the same

*edit*, the name of the weapon "goedendag" literally means "hello". Sarcasm wasn't unknown to the flemish :)

Man, I can recall Baz Battles presenting this battle on their channel many years ago. It was one of their best videos. All things truly have come around. Amazing job HM.

21:39 Pikemen in prepared positions? Soggy Terrain? Stream Crossing? Ditches?
Not hard enough. Let's _run into our own ranged units_ for additional issues.

Thank you for making this video! Im from what is now Flanders but then Brabant and it's always nice to see History of our area brought to the wider audience as our history is very underrated! Maybe a cool video for in the future The Battle of Worringen. :) anyways much love to you <3

[LikeAGentlemanPlease]

Kudos to the team that works on this channel. I know we never really give you guys any credit but thank you. Because of you guys, I am now reading history.

Because Flanders rebelled, making the French debt to the Templars unpayable. The Templars were ordered to be arrested & their assets seized in 1307. The 193-year old order would be officially dissolved and absorbed into the Hospitalliers in 1312.

[publicfreakoutcringe]

I know for a fact my ancestors fought in these battles, proud to be from Flanders!

[kurnuyt]

Well done! I'm from Kortrijk and the church that still exists today( Church of our Lady ) is a silent reminder of that period. now it is partially a musuem called 1302. If you are in the region you should give it a visit it's highly recommended. Some chronicles are mentioning the fall of Robert Artois while he was on the ground and slaughtered by the Flemish militia because the rule of giving quarter was only for nobleman to nobleman not giving by common footsoldiers . I guess he had bad luck .

[ellerose]

Amazing as always! Bruges is such a beautiful city, nice to be reminded of it

[andreweden]

If I'm not mistaken, this battle also marked the beginning of the era in the Late Middle Ages known as the "Infantry Revolution".

Phenomenal channel! One of my favorites so this ones for the algorithm

[Belgianbanshee]

It was called battle of the golden spurs not for the wealth, but because of the many golden spurs collected from the slain French nobility. They were on exposition but the French reclaimed them in a later campaign. The ones on display nowadays are replicas.
