4:28 Arthur Hesilrig's Lobsters legendary!

Did the bandolier replace the trapezoidal musketeers powder horn?

I only found out recently that i am a decendant of William Hamilton and i was born just over a mile from where he died at Ronkswood hospital

Really like your panoply man

English civil war was the last major war where infantry wore armour" It was also the last major war where medieval castles were widely garrisoned and besieged. This is why I find it so interesting. You got one of the last wars where castles and plate infantry armour is worn. It's like the last dying stroke of the middle ages.

Wrong. War started with the raising of the Kings Standard at Nottingham. Just saying😁

Fantastic video, I found it highly informative and enjoyable to watch. Fascinated by the ECW.

Where was the next video to this one?

Always been interested in the journey the enemy took to get the field. They would have emptied their possessions on the way and some are still there. A story to be told with each metal detector find.

I love Worcester cathedral it's about 1500 years old.

Ah The Marley Banks in Perry Woods is what the old London Road has been called by locals for years. King's School have a fete on August Bank Holiday Monday (most) years and you can go to Castle Mound then. A hundred feet from Castle Mound (inside the Cathedral) is the burial place of famous King John of Magna Carta and in fable and largely fabricated story - Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. The last time I went was August 1997 - just happened to be the day after Princes Diana died.

It’s probably worth mentioning that, for a given latitude, the elevation of the midday Sun varies through the year, as the Sun travels between tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. At the equinox (twice a year) the Sun is above the equator and the midday elevation directly tells the latitude.

Why not just have threads on top of bottle, like they have today

They must be interesting to fire. Like an art form.

Hi, the left armed gauntlets, the one used by the cavalry. Was it to block blows?

Great detail, Prince Ruperts Lifeguard of Horse SK God save the King

As a member of the sk we attend a memorial there every year, the late Peter Young lived in the village.

Great story telling & much enjoyed with concise detail about the Battle as the day unfolded im part of the team who way mark the escape of Charles on the Monarchs way escape route. Much thanks.

Excellent video, you have some nice types there. I have these examples myself. The pump was proven to be faulty on the infants respirator as not pumping enough air into the enclosure area. Great video! Kind Regards, Tom.

Hi, I was looking for someone who made cavalry left arm armored gloves. Do you know where I could find them?

I guess you forgot to mention that the white soap was invented in Nablus city in Palestine "middle east" its made of olive oil sodium hydroxide and water and was spread also to Europe through tradings and travellers

Hello my Husband is a Descendent of Daniel Robbins was in that battle then Exiled to America in 1651

Excellent presentation, great pace and full of information. Thank you. Lyndon S.

Thank you for making this video about fish traps. However I did want to argue against the point that was made frequently in this video that folks in the middle ages didn't have leisure time, and thus did not have time for leisure fishing, or sport fishing. I believe this to be untrue. There are dozens of images from the middle ages, especially before the late 16th and early 17th century that you claimed was the start of sport fishing, that show folks angling, that is fishing with a line or fishing with a pole and line, clearly doing so leisurely. One must also remember that work was not encouraged on Sunday, so at least 1/7 of their life was good for leisure, and plenty of hypothetical days throughout the year or the farm chores were simply unnecessary or minimal. We can also talk about fusing subsistence fishing and sport fishing, justifying the fun activity because it doubled as acquiring food. Again it was a great video on the use of fish traps, and I appreciate it.

I have the excellent 3 volume History of The Great Civil War by S.R. Gardiner, published 1886. A lot of it is word for word copies of original writings made during the ECW. This old set was quite inexpensive. The modern reprints of the series were far more expensive, for some reason.

It's nice to see smaller details from the Waterloo Battle. Most people focus on Hougemont and the unsupported charges from the French. At the end people usually tack on "This was taken around 6pm." and then never mentioned again.

hiya i want to know if i can metal detect the Powick bridge and surounding area

Yes man..Putchers and putts on the Severn..the Norfolk Eeltrap version is different...here in the Netherlands we got more than 0 different willow traps.BTw Eels prefer fresh bait not stinking bait.

Love this period if history!

Great lecture. Very interesting and educational. Thank you.

More great stuff and some unique points of interest. Cheers. I think Napoleons sickness on the day was at its most effective at the time of the 'cavalry charges' which was why Ney was left in charge of the attack, with all the allocated Imperial Authority (a recipe for disaster, LOL).

Stumbled upon your video by chance. A very enjoyable hour. I know the city fairly well , but with this historical context it adds so much , thanks

I am a professor of hydraulics at a university in Spain: thank you very much! This mechanism that you have explained is truly interesting and very ingenious for the time. We explain it in class.

Thank you for such an informative presentation.

My ancestor tree is interesting

Reformation Renaissance....That 🔥 Guy....Remember Remember November

Thanks for this loved it presented nicely.

Thanks for this video. Do you know why there is a heart shape at the top of the traverse board ?

I have this set up at home for when I don't feel shooting alot and using my paper cartridges, not the safest manner in carrying your powder supplies but I use a flintlock and not a matchlock with a burning slow match near by.

Really appreciate all your work. Great video as always and its great to hear worcesters history 👍

So AWSOME thank you

So the English Horse gunners didnt do what the native Americans did with loading guns on horse back. They put the ammo in their mouth and spat it in the gun barrel so they could move and load at the same time.

A couple of comments if I may - The best match cord back in the day was made of hemp (less ash than cotton or linen) treated with a solution of lead sugar (aka, lead acetate) to “lead” the cord. [Dittrich, R., Heilinger, H., & Köhler, TH., „Die Entwicklung der Handfeuerwaffe - Ein Überblick“, _Von alten Handfeuerwaffen: Entwicklung, Technik, Leistung: Katalog zur Sonder-ausstellung im Landeszaughaus,_ Veröffentlichungen des Landeszeughauses Graz, № 12 (Landesmuseum Johanneum Graz, 1989), p. 27.] As the availability of match cord wasn't guaranteed, the musketeer/arquebusier was expected to make match cord in the field by dissolving gun powder (which is made from saltpeter) in water, letting the solids settle out, wetting some available hemp, linen, or cotton cord in the supernatant solution, and allowing it to fully dry. I see you followed the de Gheyn manual, however, the English did not prime their musket first, they loaded the main charge first. Per William Garrard, “let him ever first load his peece with powder out of his flaske, then with her [sic] bullet, and last with amuring and touch-powder.” [Source: _The Arte of Warre_ by William Garrard, published posthumously by Captain Robert Hichcock, 1591, p. 3, which was copied verbatim in _England's Trainings and plainly demonstrating the dutie of a private souldier, with the office of each severall officer belonging to a foot company, and the martiall lawes of the field ; as also the office and charge of a colonell ; the exercise of trayning or drilling : with diverse other necessary and profitable disciplined notes and observations,_ by Edward Davies, gentleman, 1619, from _Military Antiques Respecting a History of the English Army_ by Francis Grose Esq., London, 1801, p. 122.] One last thing, the oil bottle usually contained pine oil to lubricate the lock mechanism [Johann Jacob von Wallhausen, _Kriegskunst zu Fuß,_ Oppenheim, Johann Theodor de Bry, 1615].

Dude, your channel is way to obscure for that quality of content! Great work!

A geat talk full of fascinating information & history, thank you.

Great video, had no idea about these 'munitions swords'. Could you please tell me where you bought this replica sword from?

Is this sword an original or a replica?

Great talk

Great video as always keep up the great work
