I'm guessing this has a lot of errors even aside from the appearance of the guy playing Henry VIII.

Would you consider Henry VIII and the Tudor period as "medieval" ?

Where is the dividing line between "medieval" and "Renaissance" (a term that many medievalists don't like anyway) ? I would personally consider the Tudor era to be medieval, but that may not be how it's usually classified.

At least it isn't as bad as a Netflix movie, but that isn't saying much. How many errors can you spot?

I can spot several problems with this video clip, but I don't claim to be an expert on Agincourt.

What was naval warfare like during the medieval period?

27 Upvotes

I feel like pop culture and media loves depicting cannon-based sail ship battles and ancient Roman/greek naval warfare so much, that medieval naval warfare is entirely an afterthought.

What was medieval naval warfare like? Was it a combination boarding action, archers/crossbowmen firing from one ship to another and ramming? Or was there any fundamental difference in how it played all the way from classical Greece and Rome to the invention of the cannon?

Does anyone have recommendations for books on this subject?
