English Civil War Reenactment Battle Display! BIGGEST EVER! Military Odyssey 2013:
The biggest and most impressive English Civil War Battle display I've ever seen!
For my video camera is use a Canon EOS 60D DSLR Camera (Canon Digital Camera). Also using Image Stabilization lenses (Macro Lens, and Telephoto Lens - just the original kit lenses that came with the camera, and a 50mm F 1.4 Lens). For my camera tripod I use a lightweight Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod, and for sound capturing I use a Rhode Directional Condenser Video Microphone (Rhode VideoMic) which I think does a great job! I hope to upgrade soon, but I thought the outcome so far is pretty good!
The Military Odyssey show is not just Battle Reenactments, there are vast displays of classic ex military vehicles, classic cars, living history encampments, vintage weapons sales (like swords, armour, rifles, pistols, sub machine guns, etc), military surplus supplies, ammunition, military uniforms, military accessories, and much more. You cold not see it all in a day even if you tried!:) Bring your spending money if you go...you never know you may have the urge to buy a tank:) But I hate to think what the insurance would be on a thing like that!:S
ENJOY the video!!! Please subscribe and 'Like' as I have more videos on the way!
(Footage taken at the Military Odyssey 2012 held at The Kent Show Ground, Detling, Near Maidstone, Kent.)

Those peasant look well fed, wonder why they are rebelling anyway

The peasantry didn't revolt, the landed gentry did.

Robert Holloway Yeah. The puritans mostly came from the landed gentry. There was also a significant number of aristocrats among the puritans (General Thomas Fairfax being the most notable). However, the soldiers mostly came from the lower classes. Many in the parliamentary side hoped that the overthrow of the king would bring about all male suffrage. They were levellers and their call for equality offended Cromwell and he had them put down. Oliver Cromwell was kind of a conservative revolutionary.

@The505Guys It was pretty easy for women to disguise themselves as men in that period. If you wore pants or hose or whatever they were called back then, everyone automatically assumed you were a guy, no questions asked. If you wore pants and had a high voice and no beard, you obviously had to be a young guy. How many actually disguised themselves as men, I don't know, but it wasn't impossible at all.

Thought the whole idea of push of pike was to use the pointy end , no barge each other??? Got to be historically inaccurate , considering original soldiers that cut lengths of their pikes to save weight, were compromised in the push of pikes???

Probably for safety. They're still very long pointy sticks.

@andymoore9977 3 жыл бұрын

@@pavelstaravoitau7106 Yep, all about safety I am sure. The front ranks were very heavily armoured so that would push the pike heads upwards off breast plates etc. and then lead to pushing, not something to risk for a reenactment!

Are the cannon tied down with ropes and ground spikes as they don't seem to recoil very much? I was in the RA and know how much modern artillery moved back on it's recoil dampeners during firing.

What's with these shoving matches...? Wouldn't they have been smart enough to use their pikes rather than to get into such close quarters where it'd basically just become a knife stabbing match, in which both sides would lose?

@chrislinton2238 9 жыл бұрын

It would be wrong to think re-enactors actually accurately portray the battle fought in this period (probably more than any other)... as you say the pikes would stab at one another and probably not become the rugger scrums re-enactors love showing off... likewise reversing the muskets and using them as clubs... there is little evidence of this happening and when it did happen it was more than likely used in an assault against a fortification or town wall etc... after firing at the enemy loads of times the barrel of a gun gets extremely hot... too hot to hold and swing a heavy lump of wood about... plus of course a dagger or sword would be much deadlier than the reversed muskets... these re-enactors put on an impressive show but can never get it 100% right.

+That Weird Fox Guy I can understand that, but they could've kept enough distance between each other and just swung their pikes at the other group's pikes, maintaining enough distance- like a real pikeman would do, because no-one in their right mind charges into a group of pikes.

Can not understand why it isn't referred to as the British Civil War.

@josephclout3633 5 жыл бұрын

The way I see it 'The Kingdom of Great Britain' wasn't formed until the 'Acts of the Union' in 1707 so it can't be 'British' per se. The first English civil war (1642-1646) was fought geographically in England and Wales contemporaneously alongside another civil war in Ireland. Scots were involved on both sides as both Scottish royalists and Covenanters. I could be entirely wrong - it's just how I see it personally. More than happy to be corrected as it is a very complex part of history!

@matteotorres9054 4 жыл бұрын

because this civil war was in england between the royalists and the parliamentarians. there is literally no reason for it to be called the British civil war. the war if three kingdoms is often referred to as the British civil war but this reffers to many wars in the time period, such as the irish revolt of 1641, the bishops wars and the Cromwellian invasion of ireland. these were actually fought all around Britain wheras the english civil war was fought in England
