Interesting invasion of Normandy. I am wondering if it will happen again after 529 years🤔

11:41 When that red square said: “I’m pooping blood...”

I felt that.

It is a good day when historymarche uploads

We always hear about Agincourt never Harfleur, Never knew the battle was this intense, Thank you very much History Marche, An excellent job as always. 👍👍👍

The opening of this one is impressive; the soundtrack combined with the seagulls...

Nice, HistoryMarche. Very nice

Love the story of Henry V, can't wait to see Part 2. It's amazing he won those battles, despite his short reign he truly had great military success. You should incorporate some quotes and fun things from Henriad (the Shakespeare play on Henry V). Thanks again for all the hard work on these videos, you're better than 'on air' historical shows!

Who would've guessed that Henry V would've have to deal with such a difficult siege prior to his legendary victory at the battle of Agincourt. Great video. I enjoyed it. Can't wait for part 2.

Man, that opening 20 seconds of the video was bone-chilling... with the music and all... it suddenly got real quiet in the room lol. like, "oh shit, it's about to go down".

This needs to be in schools. This level of animation and maps is the full engagement I would of loved as a kid.

What I especially love with this channel is that you always put a battle in the historical context. I seen and read many sources about the battle of Agincourt. But none has explained WHAT happened prior to the battle. learning about the siege of Harfleur gives a deeper understanding of the events that would follow! Big thumbs up 👍

This brings me way back when I just subbed to the channel I still remember your videos from then which also took place during the 100 Years War. Those were your very first videos

[Rebel_Buckwhacker]

This is probably one of the best history videos I have watched, love the way you moved the forces so it gave us a real insight on what went on.

History Marche and Kings and Generals videos in one day, , , ,
What a joy!!

[Alizz]

As usual, wonderful production. Well done.

You are currently my favorite channel to watch. I've read and learned about warfare for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is of studying a battlefield map from the American Civil War and imagining different ways the fight could have played out

I like how the notes in the beginning sets a tone letting you know things are not going to end well.

Just finished the book Azincourt by Bernard Cornwell, this really helped piece it all together and bring it to life!
