Not in the Netherlands, Belgium and parts of Germany m8,... in those times even if your city looked, acted and was build as a city, fortified and even had a Lord residing, it wasn't a city. (although, it might have looked the part) The right to be considered a city you needed to get the "Stadsrechten" (city rights, aka the right to be considered a city) because it came with privileges and power attached. You can see a "Waag" or "Waagtoren" (imposing opulently decorated expensive stone buildin) in every Dutch, Belgian and German city, that was only placed there after a city has been bestowed with the "Stadsrechten", now it can levy it's own tax, to some degree it's own law's and have an standing army, it could also get more surrounding land to again levy tax mostly in the form of crops, livestock, weed and barly, stone, horses, other natural resources like metal, etc and man for work or war. And you were now in the position to build a Cathedral instead of a large Church or Church, and get a Cardinals instead of a Bishop if you had the money and influence of course, but usually they did one's they got to that stage. But it greatly increased the power, wealth and influence of your fortified "town/city" especially the right to have a standing army and levy tax and the power of the local Lord. So, it was clearly different in Britain, France and Italy, I've learned something new today, thanks, thumb's up on the video 👍.

As I understand it, in Britain at the time, to be classified as a city did not take armorers, but the community had to have both a Market (preferably open more than once a week), AND a Cathedral. It didn't even have to have any defensive wall, though most (if not all) did, as did any number of smaller towns.

Chris Bryer, what language barrier? Why would it be any different to today? If you're talking about medieval Europe you had the lingua franca which was Latin, the equivalent of English today at least or the people that mattered. If you were an ordinary person living at the edge of your country you most likely were bi lingual to some extent the same as people in Europe are today. The middle ages were only 500 years ago, mankind hasn't evolved to any real extent in that time, we're exactly the same as they were then.

Just a tiny nitpick - at 5:35 that's actually the Virgin enthroned, holding the little Christ on her lap(out of frame, but check out the stained glass windows of Chartres cathedral). She does look pretty gender ambiguous here, but one indicator is the veil on her head, which you wouldn't really see in iconography of kings, as well as a nimbus(which a king would only have if he was dead & made into a saint). Otherwise, really enjoyed the video and can't wait for the renaissance stuff, as well as more of this :D

I don't think you need another samurai harness, what you need is a European harness. If I went back into the late 14th century I sure as hell wouldn't want to be in a city just because of the smell of raw sewage, The storm drains are also the sewers serving the upper class and upper middle class while the working class had a bucket to be emptied outside the home. Storm drains are open to the city so rain water can get into them, but also as a sewer the smell comes out of those openings. The stench would be especially bad in a walled city surrounded by a moat, that would be where the sewers would drain into so the slightest wind would carry it over the city regardless of direction. This smell also wouldn't be the same as you get entering a porta potty on a hot summer day at a festival or when camping, there's chemicals in those that reduce the smell and break down the poop and paper, it would be far far worse.

Hey Metatron! Was just wondering if you could clarify how the majority of solidiers were recruited in the Middle Ages? For instance, if they made a certain amount of money, then it allowed them to buy military gear and so they were recruited. This defeats the feudalism model because in theory, many people could own a horse and buy armor, but that doesn’t necessarily make them a night. So I’m asking you to contest the feudalism model of anything aha. Anyways keep up the great content!!
@JETWTF

Common foot soldiers, city guards, the medieval version of the red shirt? Same way as our soldiers are recruited today, they volunteered. Most always peasants and second, third, or fourth+ sons since they wouldn't inherit anything including the right to farm the land they grew up on. They need to eat and have a roof over their head when it rains so joining the guard or army is as good a choice as any all things considering. For many it is the best choice. If there was a war peasants would be conscripted, and would be equipped with weapons picked up off the battlefield from the previous battles that were too poor of condition for the guard or army but not so bad that they should be recycled. When those ran out.. they are farmers so they should own a pitchfork or something. It's not theory that anyone could buy a horse, armor, and weapons for much of Europe during the medieval time period, it is true. The problem is purchasing these items on the salary that anyone but nobles have. As for a war horse, that's like asking a full on middle class person today to buy a Lamborghini, Ferrari, and a Rolls Royce. Many a gambeson was all of the peasants shirts along with other cloth sewn together because they were conscripted. many a conscripts weapon was picked up off the ground after a previous battle, maybe even one the grandfather fought in. If they joined the guard or army they would be trained and equipped with the basic gear and could save up for more protection, many a bowman had plate greaves and arms with gauntlets that they saved up for. As for a full harness, it would cost as much as they make in their entire lifetime, not saved but made. No such thing as a credit card back then and you couldn't get a bank loan so it was cash up front. They could technically buy a complete harness because there's no law saying they cant, but since they would never have the money they wont ever buy it.

Normally cities and towns had to offer certain contigents of soldiers in case of war to their lord/king/emperor. In Germany the guilds were the ones responsible one when it came to arming their members. A part of the feudal duties also was to bring men to war. Normally this was at least partly reached down the line. If somebody needed more men than he or his vasall could gather he would have hired mercenaries for the time of the war. There was at least some division between heavily armed and armored mercenaries and militia and knights on the battlefield, otherwise Emperor Maximilian "The last knight" couldn't have combined them to a single force at the end of the 15th century.
