Your storytelling and model makin just gets more captivating with each episode keep up the good work sir 😎🏹🙏

It's a shame that such dishonorable acts happen after the fighting is over and innocents are murdered, yes murdered. It invalidates any victory in my opinion and we see this even today in Eastern Europe. Cruelty in any form is abhorrent. I do like your models Kevin, you have a ton of skill.

I am an American.And I can appreciate your stories on the battle histories,as I learn much more from you than from the history books.I thank you so much for that! Thoroughly enjoy your knowledge and art work on the model making. Love that you make history real and exciting to see or hear a new chapter. God bless!

As a youngster I saw the Disney animated film " The Sword And The Stone " and from then on I was hooked on anything Medieval . Your channel is an absolute Godsend for this old cowboy from across the pond because otherwise I wouldn't know the fine points of this period of history . I grew up learning about the American Civil War and The Wild West . Keep up the great work and I hope your feeling better soon , Much ❤ from Baltimore Maryland USA !! .

I'm a descendant of Dagworth twice over because I come down via two family branches from two of his daughters. I'm really grateful you explain this so thoroughly. When I read the Vagabond, I had no idea there was any relation. But somehow I've always been intrigued by these stories. Little did I know I was part of them.

So glad we've got more medieval battles! I can't imagine what it would have been like to be on the receiving end of a siege...

The moral here, in my opinion, is surrender doesn't mean survival. Great storytelling, Kevin. Thank you!

I love Cornwell, but I haven't read Vagabond. I was literally waiting with baited breath for you to tell this story. What a delight, and as a teacher, I so admire the time and effort you put into your presentations.

You're a great storyteller! Thanks for all the great videos.

One of the most underrated channels on KZfaq

9:00 yes, I do indeed love the windmill. 10/10

I'm loving this series! Even more excited for this than any TV shows!

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” - Sir Mike Tyson 😂 The overconfidence here is amazing, how could he not have given that call for help sooner…?

I always like this videos at night in bed, it's like soothing story telling that helps me sleep

Cornwell is easily my favorite author, love hearing him mentioned in your videos.

What a coincidence, I’ve just finished reading The Vagabond, and the story of La Roche Derrien. I sometimes think that even after 700 years the French are very unforgiving of the English! Where I live in France, the houses within the town wall had interconnecting attics, so they could defend against the English in the 100 years war. Our attic has such a door, about 4 ft high, but now bricked up. We live in the heart of the Aquitaine region, full of history. I really enjoy your videos, so interesting, thank you.

Kevin, your podcast is so timely for me! I’ve been researching this era for months and I have found so little about this battle - your info is the best, most comprehensive and clear that I have found about La Roche-Derrien anywhere! Thank you! Btw, a friend suggested your channel to me, I’m over the moon, and I love your Boar pin too!

That was great. Looking forward to the 100 years war series.

Ha, I just started to read Bernard Cornwell's "Harlequin" from the Thomas of Hookton series, for the umpteenth time

That was your best model yet. You’re a very creative person, and as I have said before a great storyteller.

Loved the diorama. They really give some extra umph to your story telling. A masterpiece video as are all of your videos. Keep up the good work.

thank yew kevin. thumbs up. the bowmen control battle after battle. thank you for cluing us in about so many battles and fights that we never hear about normally. there is no shortage of massacres and horrors. take care kevin gare

This was a tremendous bit of history. Can’t wait to see the next one. Cheers

Excellent job on the models. Really helps to visualize the battles.

Great . Never knew about it - thankyou!

Fascinating. Thank you Sir.

Loved it as always.

Ah...always glad to hear your insights . 😊

Another excellent vid. Thanks for the tale-telling and modelling, sir.

"Good on ya lad!" I remember when i was in a lightning design class, and part of my 3d model were these cute 'approximations' of scaffolding with the lights, and I could move them like a little kinex pulley, IDK this just gave me a primal memory

Very informative. Very entertaining storytelling.

I live in New York City, my wife is from Scarborough and I really enjoy yourr channel, your method of presentation... Excellent! I'm born and bred American but love history and you bring it to life. Thank you.

I appreciate your hard work.

I had heard of this battle having lived in Brittany for 35 years and later on for 14 years in particular 12 kilometers from Ker Roc'h (La Rcohe - Derrien) and passing by there by bike to Tréguier where I taught for 8 years. i also taught in La Roche itself for 5 years in the Ecole Primaire Publque. This town and the surrounding areas remain very real to me. I know that the La Roche is on high ground but biking up the hill afterwards to Pommerit-Jaudy westward was still much higher up but after that to Plouëc-du- Trieux where I lived ,the ground levelled off. There are place names referring to Charles de Blois and Montfort in the surrounding area. Your diorama is brilliantly done. I can well imagine where the fighting was done. The road between La Roche - Gwengamp (Guingamp) is still there but dates back to Roman times as it is a Roman road. A place name in Runan after Pommerit- Jaudy in low latin "La Motta " was perhaps the Latin name of the village, then translated to Runan which means a small hill. Run , a hill and the suffix - an just the dimunitive. I wonder Kevin, if you have yet done a video of the "Battle of Saint Aubin-du- Cormier in 1488 when the English sided with the Breton army but due to arguments amongst the Bretons during the battle led to their defeat at the hands of the French. A disaster. I started writing an historical novel on this battle in 1988. This spelled the end of Breton independence. I lived not far away while I was a university student in Rennes. Anyhow, I was not aware of the details of this historical battle in La Roche-Derrien so close to my home back then. Thank you very kindly!

Wow this is an amazing channel and you’re fantastic storyteller!! Ty for this.

I love all your videos!!!!

This is amazing!!

Great history lesson. Really enjoy your models. Always learning something on your channel.

Never heard about this battle. I'm glad I know about it now. And I love all the models. It really does make it easier for me to understand, Thank-you!

You are an absolute treasure of how you present your videos. Thankyou

excellent, well done

Another great video. Gotta say, the Grail-Quest series have got to be one of my favourites by Mr Cornwall.

I love all your videos Kevin, keep the good work

Wonderful narration. Love the model. Looking forward to seeing more!

Great story teller and awesome model building.

Very quickly becoming one of those people I would love to sit down with over a pint and talk our love of history.

Great model,can see the work involved,did most of my army service in that region and have memories of its stunning beauty.

Love it kev

Wonderful model. Thank you for sharing this stuff!

Thanks very interesting 🎉

Love your models. Your aesthetic is wonderful.

just subscribed. you are the first channel I've ever subscribed to. Thank you so much for the brilliant content. I so look forward to your videos and humor. : )

Great story and a fine model.

Fantastic history channel

Amazing video. Im very visual and the models really help with the imagery and recounting of your stories. Keep up the amazing work!

The English in the Hundred Year's War are so tough it's so inspiring. I wish they played their footballs like they did during the Hundred Year's War, sigh.

Greetings once again from nova Scotia, another top shelf video, I must say, what an amazing teacher you are, you have a gift. I cannot stress how easy you make history to understand, I think you have found your true calling. As always best regards, Arthur

Splendid video, Kevin and marvellous work on the city with a very fetching Windmill. I look forward to the hundred years war series!

Man, the quality of this channel and all the work you go through to make it authentic as possible with the clothes, models, studio appearance! Good job; this would have been a show on the old History Channel for sure, if TV was still a thing.

A great telling of the story, and really great scratch built models. I will finish and paint the trees as soon as I get some more florist tape.

Another excellent description Kevin - packed with fascinating information as usual. Your models really do go from strength to strength. Being able to visualise the layout of the battle really brought it to life in my mind. Thank you for all your hard work in preparing your presentation. Can't wait for the next!

Love the model, definitely helps visualizing the story.

Hey Kevin good to see u.Thanks for the video.

Love the Grail Quest trilogy. Cornwell's a master of pacing.

Great hearing real history and not made up stuff you get in movies etc.

Another excellent video Kevin. I’m glad you mentioned Vagabond, it’s part of an excellent series. Nearly as good as your model. 😊

Thank you for your efforts to bring us a good representation of the walls and battle in general 👍 I wish more KZfaqrs took that kind of pride in their content instead of full reliance on fairly low rent animation. You sir are definitely a good egg 👍

I remember when reading Vagabond when it first came out that I thought La Roche-Derrien was fictionalised because I'd never heard of the place before. Another Cornwell set I need to re-read again soon. Like the diorama too - the backdrop reminds me a bit of the view from walking the walls at Boulogne years back on a school trip.

Thank you

You are the best sir, love your channel

I'd love to hear a summary of key military strategies that led to success as a general pattern.

great job Kevin.

My new favorite channel

great video

Another interesting video

I read that book, one of 3 if I remember, awesome book.

We did student parent night, one student had a dad hobbyist model, and made an amazing castle siege, gave me really pleasant memories with me late pa :-)

Love your voice. thanks for the story.

Thanks!

Here in Fargo, ND I'm just beginning to paint my 15mm WOR/100 Years war project. Looking forward to you videos on the subject. Thanks

I'm reading Cornwell's Vagabond now. I never knew about the Breton wars. This is wild. This Charles of Blois is portrayed as a horrible man, but after death he is venerated and beatified. He killed thousands of people but is praised in the church for devotion to his religion. Crazy.

Very nice

Thanks for the great video as usual, Kev, as well as the fantastic model to give us a great representation of the battle! Speaking of Bernard's books, with the holidays coming up, do you have any other recommendations (historical fiction and otherwise) about the Hundred Years War?

The model really helps me envision and imagine what happened and how with your explanation. Wish I would have watch before the 100 years war 😂 but I'm caught up now.

Kev it's nice to see your wearing the Warwickshire Bear and Ragged Staff

Thanks Kevin

Maybe make 4-6 trumpeter soldiers stand-by in cause one fails. Nice windmill and entire set. Great job on telling the tale

Glad to see you back to health, good sir! On Marche
