🚩 Battle of Halidon Hill (1333) played a big part in the development of English military tactics. Edward III would later use the same defensive setup to confound the mounted chivalry of France at the Battles of Crécy and Poitiers. This was Edward III’s first battle and the only one that he fought in England. At Halidon Hill he witnessed the strength of the defensive combination of archers and dismounted men-at-arms already used to great effect by Edward Balliol the previous year at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in Scotland.

A comprehensive description & build up to this battle plus your narrative was very well done.
Let's hope that the ENGLISH wake up soon as, our country is being INVADED AND DESTROYED 🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴
0:51 dunno if this map was supposed to be accurate for the timeline but if it was, there's a mistake here. Portugal conquered the Algarve region in 1249 and it's being shown here as if the moors still had a foothold in the South of Portugal in the XIV century which is false. Other than that, great video. Keep up the good work.

It’s funny how many medieval battles are just ‘they ran at each other’. Like, Bannock Burn is such a master class of a battle with its twists and turns and surprises, then there’s Halidon Hill which is just a ‘run at them and try not to die’ strategy. Still, I love the smaller battles that aren’t as often discussed, and HistoryMarche is my favorite place to go for them. Keep up the good work!
You guys should do a video about Frederick Barbarossa
WTF did this have to do with 'England' ? The English had no skin in this fight or the fight with the French – that's all Franco-Norman conquering stuff. The English remained a conquered, crushed and subjugated people. Probably the most crushed people in European history, by the time of Richard II when they did revolt, it was more about getting the Franco-Norman overlords to treat them a bit better and not starve them. Saddest. thing. ever.
What the hell is a “strusty axe” 😂

Edward III hanged a toddler…
