"he knelt down and picked up his head" TIS BUT A FLESH WOUND!

"He never lost a battle" but then I played as him in total warhammer and his losing streak rose to match his victories...

-one of the greatest warriors in all of warhammer -a living demigod with blessed blood and practical immortality -slays greatest of Nurgle's greater daemons in an incredible battle -slain by a fat dude with a saw Fuck off, GW

A lot of people say they don't like how Louen dies. I kind of really think it is in character. He is an old, ancient knight, embodying honor , chivalry and loyalty. At the end of the world, when nations are fending for themselves, and his own in ruin, he rides out with his knights. To help defend his fellow man. In the middle of a catastrophic battle, Leoncoeur notices a shrine, a holy place under attack. He gives his life in protection of a lady, a place of faith and purity, What is likely the last untainted place mankind has on the world. It is gritty and gruesome, but all the more knightly, since it wasn't a catastrophic deus ex machina that killed him. But instead a lone knight, defending a holy place at the end of all things. I think a lot of new writers can stand to learn from Louen's character. He's badass and honorable, while not whimpy and snobby, An archetypical king.

As a french myself, Bretonnia appeals so much to me. I do hope they will be playable soon after release. And don't worry, I bear no grudge at your pronunciation, especially as you made such a great video about Louen Leoncoeur. Vive le Roi!

i know it's been three yers, but just so you would know. Three years later after your video, i came and discovered it. I heard of your voice the tales of Louen Leoncoeur, of Bretonnia. Now, at my turn, even though the age of sigmar has come, the end times destroyed everything we held dear, my bretonnian are still fighting, thanks to you

I like how they converted 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' into this Warhammer lore! Probably my favorite medieval legend. There is probably none with a better opening scene or premise.

Brettonia has quite a lot of Arthurian lore.

Nice to have some background sound. Definitely makes it more immersive.

He's also based on Richard the Lionheart / Richard Cœur de Lion

I'm a straight Savage race player (O&G specifically) but if I had to say Bretonnians is my favorite human force.

Lileath whispers : Dang, you’re hot for a Hyoomin...

Thank you so much keep them coming

You and Book of Choyner have together educated me on Warhammer fantasy. And I appreciate y'all for it lol.

Perfect mixture of music & dialogue, Now this is how a true warrior shows his prowess! :D

Bretonian: Nooo! You can’t just shoot me with a gun, that’s dishonorable!! Gorger: heheh, leadbelcher go blam!

Happy new years man thanks for the awesome videos :) hopefully CA start vampire counts soon aha

More lore vids! Yours are the most enjoyable

5:17 seeing such a mystical Lake fills you with determination

Well you've successfully hyped me up for Bretonnia waiting for the flying heavy cav. Any chance of you doing a Kislev/ice queen Lore Video? Also keep up the good work

Great video Sotek, I think you just persuaded me to make my second playthrough Bretonnia (providing they are released early enough :P). Leoncoeur seems like a great man, his early exploits to impress the Lady and that final battle against Nurgle were awesome. I would have loved it if there had been more written about Thorgrims encounter with him, I like it when there is the opportunity to explore different conceptions of how best to be honourable. If you don't mind, I was wondering how Leon managed to impress Vlad von Carstein so much, was it an appreciation of his martial ability, or his personal integrity?

really like your video`s dude. :) im curious though are u also gonna go over characters and events from 40k and age of sigmar as well?

I very much enjoy your Legendary Lords videos, however you have not covered either of the dwarf lords. Do you have no love for them or are you saving the Best for last? Keep up the good work, you have helped me so much in starting to research the Warhammer world in preperation for Warhammer Total War (or Warhammer dlc as I am starting to call it). I believe that Bretonnia will end up being the "free dlc" faction that the developers at Creative Assemble promised. It would give 3 "good" and 3 "bad" factions depending on your view on Chaos!

Great Video, hopefully this month/ week is VC as Joey from TW described in the interview online as December being green skin month. As a suggestion/ request for a related legendary Lord for Bretonia, Heinrich Kemmler & Krell? Happy new year!

All hail King Leoncoeur! And Vlad the chad elector count for avenging him.

So he is basically King Arthur. Nice.

this is actually pretty cool!

What a gosh dang badass!

I LOOOOVE bretonia and i really hope that even if not in campaign, but in multiplayer battles i can play them :)

Honor, glory & valour!

Hey just wanted to check and see when we can expect your next lore video, hope all is well. From anticipating fan!

sotek! first you are doing a great job. keep it up. second i have never heard the prounouc of the hippogryph the way you said it. think beatrix like trix ceral or form harry potter. i like the way you said it :D do you know which way is correct or is it potato patato. i think Arch said it like trix is all. Anyway great job i love bretonnia,, just finished painting my old louen model. FOR THE LADY AND THE GRAIL AND TO BE A MEAT SHIELD FOR THE WOOD ELVES! .:D

I'll be waiting for your "future of Bretonnia" video

Throwback!

"Noises of the starving, sick, poor and horribly abused bretonian population chearing"

Never knew Sheldon Cooper was into Warhammer

An CA made a HUGE Louen Leoncoeur Freelc =D Please make a Vlad video too.

Thank you for the content, ease try fix the audio.

Hmm I'm curious what the music is at 18:10

25:20 Wow. That’s literally the equivalent of a 9yo going “Nuh Uhh I’m invisible you can’t see me.” That’s dreadful writing. I can see why from just Louens death why people despise the end times.

My god this guy was a beast lol

Ah yes, The Lady's simp.

The supreme gentleman, the ultimate simp

So basically u have powerful warriors worshiping a strange being for super powers .....sounds like they are worshiping chaos beings

why wasn't he revived again after he was killed by by the leechlord?

King louen is the man and bretonnia is the best in my opinion

U and I must have read deferent books because valed turned the leech Lord to stone and leoncer died in the lap of the high priests the leech Lord never cut his head off.

Beaquis'e backstory and traits are just a straight rip from Deathclaw lol

Then why is he aggressive and unreliable in total war?

Where did you get your lore on louens early life? Because most of it is entirely contradicted by the lore I've read.

Poor Festus

Fake Lady of the Lake who is Elven. Whoever wrote this is obviously a Monty Python Fan. I mean the Moistened Bint did't even give old Lion heart a decent sword. Some Watery Tart giving him some pond water is not a mandate for supreme rule!

I wonder if he will yawn in this one like he does every time

gilles>

Wow, Leo had a shit death

He has cut down many invasions of the dark gods? That must be my current campaign :'(

Skarsnik just chopped up all kiingdoms of man but araby. May Gorkamorka prevail!

If King Louen fought Karl Franz who would win

You reckon he would beat Karl Franz 1 on 1?

So unless they completely rewrote this battle this is not how this happened. I own the audio book of Fall of Altdorf. This is not how the battle takes place in it.

Hi love these Warhammer Videos and i hope you keep producing more content. I just wanna give a few hopefully helping tips. 1 Have a small intro, don't go from 0-100 it can a bit annoying/scary for new people. 2 Present your self so we know who we the audience are listening to. I know its just a audience of one every view but its a nice gesture. And by presenting your self, i just mean. Hi i'm Loremaster. Not your real name or address. This is the internet and the trolls are everywhere. Well that was all i wanted to add. Hope you do more Lizardmen lore in the future and that you have a nice day. (Ps English is not my first language and I'm sorry for any grammar flaws.)

If the lady of the lake is a lesser chaos deity and isn't the creation of a Daemon Prince empowerment from a god. Are Grail Knights kinda Daemon Princes sorta? Also, people say Priest of Sigmar are Space Marines of Fantasy, the Grail Knights put those bald weaklings.

Wait wait wait i know I am late to the party but where the fuck did Vlad come from? I thought Manfred was the last of their line still alive?

Lady of the Lake>Sigmar

Bretonia indeed is very heroic but ubelivibly corrupt😔

This guy is always annoying in vampire count campaigns -_- I just got done killing rikeland and farming gelt for his armor trait. And then oh look who is coming down to altdorf. That or he kills red duke and himmler off before i can confederate. Im sure hes a great guy in the lore but im fed up with his bs anytime i want to do anything that isnt an order campaign.

The dreary drop logistically amuse because period ontogenically smash plus a laughable enquiry. drunk, ratty copyright

Coming to the End Times event part years later and it's still fucking stupid, honestly the worst wargaming event since the fucking Jihad in Battletech.

Whats with the amount of fanfiction? Half this lore is not even canon.
