"Yeah, urine was used, but not for the coloration, but as a fixative!" This level of historical pedantry - the extremely technically correct level - is the kind I just have to respect. Good job.

Imagine having the job of collecting horse urine... I suppose it would be easier if you got it 'drunk' first, but then its liable to fall on you...

If I'm not mistaken it was specifically male urine that was used too.

The King is SO damn good!

The problem with many films about history is that they want to have the moral simplicity of Star Wars, when really there were no light or dark knights in history. I would say Just a lot of grey, but many were actually brightly dressed!

@@fat1fared I'm an history buff; but I amitt that this 'simplicity of Star Wars' that you mention is intinsicall to the media... It's a visual media; audience MUST know things instinctibly without having to interiorize them... Hitchkok said something on the lines of: 'if the audience sees a train entreing the station and the smoke that comes out of the chimney is the most black cloud you have ever seen, they will KNOW before they see him, that the man inside the train is the bad guy'... that's how cinema works. You have a protagonist and an antagonist. Yeah, real life is not like that, and an historicall film draws from history, then it should aspire to show things as it where... but if you are making cinema; you still need bad guys and good guys. You need the audience to see this things in less than three hours and to feel atached to some and hate the others... if you don't manage that, people won't feel... they will simply recieve information. Then you have a documentary; and that is good, pure information, accurate precise... But films need some level of maniqueism. Historicall films should chill down, not make any character a figure but try to portay them as the real people they represent... but some level of 'good guy'/'bad guy' will allways be needed. Even in a beloved by historians masterpiece as 'Master and Commander'; Aubrey (yes he is fictional, but he is based on a real guy) is a lovable hero; while the french captain, 'the bad guy' nearlly does not appear; simply as a nebulous figure, almost only represented by the quasy phantom-esque appeaance of the Acheron; that even resembles a mithycal Moby Dick or Nautilus; attacking from the deep... you need bad guys. And I think this film portrays more grays than many others. I also dislike the prince the most of this film, specially the final duel... but tha film needs some major villain for the audience to hate. You will allways have some degree of that on a movie

​@@fat1faredmore Star Wars Andor

Glad to see you enjoyed the bannockburn experience definitely enjoyable

@@fat1fared Nah, there tons of outright villains in pretty much any period of history you could name. The problem comes when films decide they need a good guy and during the actual events in question, there are none to be found.

Yeah, on his father's side, he was of Anglo-Norman descent, but his mother was a Gaelic speaking Gallowegian noble woman. Therefore, I'd assume The Bruce spoke Scots, Gaelic, Latin, and French.

There was about 12 bruces before Robert... all who gained land n title his father the leper. Told him this.. and tactics. Harsh n cruel he seems but was right.. the time wasnt right.

Well Halloween is Scottish, so...

@@dairallanI thought it was Irish?

​@@cillian5304it is

​@@cillian5304 It's Celtic, so Irish, Scottish, and Welsh

@@cillian5304 That's because since the middle of the 19th century, Ireland and the Irish have tried to claim every single piece of celtic culture as theirs. Which, obviously, it isnt;. I get its hard for them as their culture was basically destroyed by colonialism and they had to invent basically an entire culture from half remembered folk tale - but stealing other people's shit is bad. There is no literary record of Halloween or Halloween adjacent things in Ireland before the mid 1800s. To be fair, lots of cultures invented or re-invented themselves during the Age of Nationalism during the late 19th century. Scotland did it as well. Inventing bullshit like tartan and kits. But at least in that case, it was based on historicity (plaid pattern cloths existed and were common, the Great Plaid existed) and wasn't just stolen from others. Meanwhile not only is Halloween Scottish, its clearly documented all the way from its inception after the Reformation to the present day.

Jesus they showed 1492 in your classroom?? How long ago was that cuz that movie is so infamously bad, for many reasons but foremost and obvious to any historian is the whole ‘Columbus first to claim round earth’ and ‘natives loved and admired Colombus and he treated them well’ bullshit. Still insane that people have forgotten the movie and don’t even criticise Ridley Scott for it much anymore. Recent interview he said that movie only did poorly because “Americans can’t understand any european accent, only American-english accents” and apparently didn’t learn the lesson that he made a pro-genocidal pro-colonial propaganda movie. I mean ffs even British imperial history epics had more complexity. Still strange that with how many history epics Ridley makes that he never fucking bothers to actually take historical accuracy to heart.

He’s off the mark quite a bit in his videos, few big ones here but that’s life

I'm not sure if they would sell many tickets in France 😂

One of few movies that makes a good effort to make medieval weapons and armor accurate

And in terms of authenticity. Feel of the times.

@@ARCtrooperblueleaderAbsolutely! While I don’t think Outlaw King is a great film, it’s damn immersive and there’s a certain satisfaction seeing so much accurate clothing, weapons, and armour.

There's no source reference to what emblem St Clare was wearing, but probably it was his own blazon. Nor does the one source that describes his death refer to the reason the Saracens attacked him first. Meanwhile, by contrast, the knights of the Military Orders St John,vSantiago, Calatrava, etc., all wore large crosses on their surcoats, mantles and shields.

Jean le Bel tells us Douglas was accompanied by 7 knightsand 20 esquires John Barbour said that there no more than 10 left with him in his final fight- including the Logan brothers, who were from a feudal landholding family in lowland Lothian rather than a clan.

@@JohnFortune-zs8rk the Logan’s were a clan who lost their clan ship

The Pacific is actually based on 2 books by Marines who fought in WW2. Robert Lecke wrote "Helmet for my Pillow" and later became an historian. Eugene Sledge wrote "With the Old Breed"

I got that and Band of brothers on DVD. The pacific is in one of those fancy metal box set cases. Unfortunately I have to store it horizontal because I accidentally broke one of the studs that holds the disc in place in the box. Trying to get the disc out with those studs are a pain in the ass. You have to push hard. In this case I think I pushed too hard and broke it. The disc is fine though thank God.

Eugene sledges' writings are considered some of the best war memoirs in from any war period. I'd highly recommend having a read of the book with the old breed. 👍

There have been a few pretty good historical analyses of The Last Duel, specifically The Cynical Historian, and that while the period-setting is visually super well done, it does take quite a few liberties but is overall a great picture of the time. But thats also cuz the book they adapted from took some liberties

Eh, The King wasn't a good adaption of Agincourt... and out of Ridley Scott's movies about duels, The Duelists is much better than the Last Duel, both historically and cinematically.

@@colbunkmust Yea his action style in The Duelists felt extremely real. I'm hoping he returns to that sort of realism for Napoleon!

The King was horsehite

The Last Duel was excellent

@@freezafeesh9251bro just went ahead and said it

The Scots would never capture or kill an English king. Conversely, the English defeated and captured David II (1346) with a reserve team and killed James IV (1513) with another reserve team. The imprisonment of David II and the ransom thereof is exactly what your suggesting here. God forbid anyone glorify that actual historical event.

The Battle of Teba was part of the Reconquista, and is in Spain. According to the stories, Douglas was eager to pursue the fleeing Moors, and when he and his retinue were too far ahead, the Moors turned and tried to capture him as insurance. Douglas initially attempted to turn and retreat to safety, but as he did, he saw Sir William St.Claire entirely surrounded, but fighting valiantly. Douglas threw the heart and charged to save a friend and comrade. Likely, it was a calculated risk - rallying to St.Claire until the rest of the army could catch up, rather than being picked out one-by-one on the ride back (as St.Claire had been) Unfortunately, by the time the army arrived, those defending St.Claire were dead, including Douglas and St.Claire. There's a monument to Douglas at the town of Teba today, and they celebrate him with a local holiday. If you want another good medieval tale of "death before dishonor," check out King John the Blind, of Poland, and his death at Crécy in 1346.

@@SlyBlu7 Found this on King John the Blind, *"Far be it that the King of Bohemia should run away. Instead, take me to the place where the noise of the battle is the loudest. The Lord will be with us. Nothing to fear. Just take good care of my son."* What a legend!!

Loyalty till thee end.

Independence? Lmfao. Scottish Lords fought for more power for themselves. Changed absolutely nothing for 99% of the population. Nobody was more independent, or free. That wasn't even a real concept. The idea that we have more freedom now is hilariously wrong.

@@AverageAlien What Scots lords did or did not was of their time exactly the same as any part of Christian Europe. Of course you can't say that France, or Germany of Ireland isn't free, and not being under the yoke of a foreign power is indeed freedom.

@@Kinghobbe It's not freedom. Well, maybe freedom for the Lords and upper classes. There was no such thing as the concept of "freedom" for anyone else. The law was the law. They had their rights, they accepted the way the world worked, if they didn't, they would revolt. Simple as.

I always thought that the imprisonment of Queen Margaret and the Countess of Buchanan in cages was very barbaric. After enduring such a terrible ordeal, it is a wonder that Margaret was able to bear children after her release.

What about Return of the King building off of Two Towers, that it self was built off of Fellowship of the ring

@@TotallyRealistic yea true

@@TotallyRealistic filmed simultaneously

Braveheart was a turd of a movie.

I mean, when you look at the context of history, Edward I was ruthless and cruel, but a good ruler, who probably means what he says at the beginning of the film to Robert. No more ruthless and cruel than Bruce was, or other Scottish Kings at the time. Edward II however, was well known for being a weak man who relied on fear (and didn't exactly pull it off)

It took me a while to guess who the hell Edward II was, mostly because I knew that he wasn't involved with the Bruce during this period.

@@Kinghobbe is interesting to see him get more focus than just being all Edward I

"They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them. With War Wolf."
