New video! There was a time in western history when the phalanx (kinda) came back. Armored calvary had guns. And gunpowder was viewed as strange magic. Its my favorite era, and most Americans just never think about it.

Tell me about a common historical myth that makes your hackles rise. I don't mean actual disinformation like Holocaust denial; I mean stuff like "Napoleon was short!" For me it's probably "corsets were torture devices for the rich" and "romantic love is a very modern concept."

If there's a single English victory that's deserving of "divine intervention", it has to be Flodden. The English were fewer in number, subpar artillery (drawn by oxen too), worse choice of ground, less modern army, low on food (one said they were fasting), etc. etc.

Armor disappeared for the same reasons swords left the foot, coming to hand strokes was no longer common and it was needless weight. Plate armor was worn was worn in spite of the danger from guns, not because they could resist them (and most couldnt at any reasonable distance).
