Saints and Legions; Battle of Chalons

Oh. That's pleasant as always to be with you today. We'll talk about that. You have a very I'm very formative people slide the front to break. Do you recall

the bones of dyed in the Roman army had been destroyed by the heavy cavalry. The battle of Adrianople of Visigoths driven across the Danube by the Huns Visigoths the US to coalesce into a people inside the Empire. They elect a king. Alaric who becomes a Roman general actually used a middle term commander of soldiers head along the delamination coast. And finally after ravaging the bowl of complementary lo the Visigoths to move first into Italy. Just sack roll for 10 and the inhabitants say we will fall upon you with all your power was out. Is reputed to have said in the thick of the day the easy at the mo. They didn't have very much respect for the local

defense forces of the city of Rome obviously. Alaric died of fever a lot of attempting to take his people across the grain fields head of North Africa always and very interesting lane. The goal of your peoples from them all from the cold climates the great grain fields the olive groves the sunshine of Africa that never got there. He died of fever. It was buried in the bed of the view of Central Russia. They diverted the bed of the rubble the birth of the COS the fullback over his grave after they had buried him the Visigoths and moved on into France on to his success and very great king also. But it became allies of the Empire developed a prince a puppy and saw them go all it wasn't yet France and finally in four twenty nine moved over the pair on these

in the Spain with imperial permission and the Allens of the bundles and most of the swells who already had settled as a resident Arion the Visigoths way areon Christians to Arion are all stock recy over your Roman all Spanish inhabitants recalled a little earlier and for all six year old vandals. See that as doing two separate parts of the viable peoples. You're Allons allons and started out as a people of the Caucasus along the Caspian Sea an Iranian full of top Iranian folk driven west by the Huns the Allens who joined the vandals and the sway from what is the day she takes the name across the frozen line in full all six of the Gazans not strong enough to stop them

and progressively ravaging Gaul. France moved down to make their kingdom in Spain. And for 29 driven by the Visigoths on the very able lane rapaciousness if you wish. Again Zurich guys are like the vandals what was left of them on the Allens. What was left of them went across. I had a Gibraltar on the pillows of Hercules and invaded North Africa. That's a strange story. The people who in the century preceding peoples the islands and the Vandals that started up by Baltic

Sea or in the case of the islands by the Caspian that moved across Europe as a cavalry people for the most spot. Down across Gaul crossing the Rhine in full five full six. Spain and ended up taking the role of the African cos they are one hundred fifty miles from west of the Caspian in the Baltic. Long time empire a piratical seagoing empire along the coast of Africa playing the role of cottage of the late call sales who are to be a trouble to us into the early 19th century and 455 to take it up just a bit. The vandal fleet even landed on the coast of Italy and very early and systematically ravaged

roll for the second time Rome fell a second time in full 55. This is later in the century of cos. And so you have. The Vandals the Visigoths the Burgundians the alum on the Franks the Burgundians and Al Amman and Franks the Franks and all the mom with two confederacies of crimes broke about 100 invasions moving along the Rhine and the Franks and the elements settled on the low and the upper Rhine the Burgundians on the mind and later up to full six moved in. Along the Rhine itself and across into gold before the present area of Burgundy Kingdom in Burgundy the land of the Burgundians. Most of them Arion Christians. The Franks were still pagans when

they came. This is the beginning if you wish of the what we call the Dark Ages. Actually there never was a doc as people thought 250 hours ago learning still existed. Lights still flame for example the Irish Church was at its height during this period in Ireland in modern Britain and in Constantinople the cultural main even more brilliant for aggressively than it had been but it was dark enough in the game and the cities decayed and the roads were overgrown. A mound of grass and generally speaking this is the period of the declination the defeat the breaking of go west and empire and Britain picks on the Scots. While the peoples of them all. I

came down across your wall. The raid had on them all them Britain the raid into ravage you all Scots crossed from Ireland and the big tin covered car of coals. Probably not the little cockles a little round color code you see in Ireland to day but along like the Eskimo woman boat ash framed ships covered with gold side which the Irish travelled every where they wish to travel in the Scots from Ireland from Ireland raided into eastern England and the desperate people of England with the gavel so it was withdrawn the fight the civil walls on the walls of the continent called in apparently from the few sauces we have build us the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle much later of course in both cases called in

for Asian and Saxon and your angle pirates. Germanic folk living along the edge head of your North Sea who came fast as militaries to help hold back the pics of the Scots and then stayed. And British civilization in Great Britain British Roman civilization British Roman Christian civilization is to be driven progressively west into Kong wall and Wales Strathclyde the remains of COS and than Ireland and we'll talk about that later will the Irish Church. And then in the mountains a big game of peoples one small the wild Welsh but Christian peoples and England truly what a bottle century went behind the blanket of the dock.

Pagan Saxons flooded in. There's one brief flare up a fascinating flare up in the middle fifth century after 430 the Saxons of the. When a parent lay you in a Celtic Romano Celtic military revival we know so little of both that we know it from the fragmentary sauces from the old DOS from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. From all the fragments we know it all soul from the blue rinse cycle. The little songs of king off to France for at the end of Geoffrey of Monmouth so young in the costs of England and France and Germany the exploits of the legendary and his knights of the Round Table. Apparently it was a real man won the battle of Baden Hill some time in this century against the incoming

Saxons who you will know what he was we really don't know. But there was a Celtic military revival and then disappear and all of cos for the time being goes behind the darkness except in Wales and Ireland Cornwall and parts of Scotland where they hold outs valiantly grimly against your incoming Saxons. A member of the Welsh marching song macho the men of Men of Harlech in the hollow do you have like rising below wave on wave that surging follow buttholes distant sound is the triumph of sex and sex and film and sex and all men be there or night or you'll moan. They shelled by the ground loose the folds of the flag we come home on the bus at Sky and Albright on high will her lips boats and followed as your country needs you the bravest. You lead you on a cell

probably had you freedom God and right very valiant Christian man coming out of the dim past in Wales commemorating this war against your heathen Saxon invaders world to become the English mixed with Celtic subjects or allies at a later date. There during this time of calls that you all home and coalesce into a people they say are Roman cavalry the need belong than the song of the ring is based around the story of the defeat of a Burgundian Holst by the Huns. The cavalry Strangely we know this under Roman command apparently directed by the Roman governor of Gaul commemorated in a German saga at a later date. Forgotten the ends were defeated not destroyed and of course came one of the fronts of this in the Gulf. So we're talking about the peoples of vortex of the Huns

coming in from the east and upsetting the whole picture and driving the barbarians into the Empire to take over parts of the empire and yet to be Christian and Roman culture. Thus the Mediterranean remains a Christian Roman lake although it's West dominated by Germanic and gothic Cain as our culture is still the culture of the people being superior to their own overwhelms them. We have an excellent description from minus again of what the hands look like. Remember this is the first time the Western world has seen the altie in Nomad the Mongol type. We know a lot about the life of the Huns from our knowledge of the life of the Mongols. Much later of course in your 13th and 14th centuries A.D. and people like rubric we need Marco Polo lived among the Mongols and tell us about their customs and

life that was the custom of costs of living on horseback. The weapons the laminated the hook the lamps the whole swim shot some of the on the last. We know a lot about the Mongols we can say probably this is just about what your son's of a plate I mean this describes how the Romans felt about them when they first saw them. The people of the same but little known from ancient records dwelling beyond the sea. Now the ice bound ocean exceed every degree of savagery since they have the cheeks of the children a deeply followed with steel from their very birth and all of that the growth of one of the pails of the proper diet may be checked by the wrinkles as they grow old with beds of about and the beauty they all have compact strong limbs and the next and all monstrously ugly in the shape that one might take them for two legged beasts with the stumps rough hewn of the images that are

used in putting sides to bridges. But although they have before been however ugly they are so hot in the mold of life they have no need of a note of savory food to eat the roots of wild plants of the half flesh of any kind of animal whatever which they put between the finest on the backs of the horses and thus a little that doesn't happen to be true by the way. But this is what they thought actually use salt meat on Saddle saws the Mongols still do today. This is a relatively what your western most saw thought that ate the meat. Then of a protected by any buildings what they avoid these like tunes which are set apart from everyday use but not for not even a hot patch with a reed can be found among them. When roaming along with the mountains and woods they learn from the cradle to a cold and hunger and thirst. Away from the homes and compelled by extremists. Well they think they're not safe when staying under a roof. They dress in linen cloth on the skins of field mice so

they wear the same clothing in dogs and this is of course the picture you have from the people of the West. Looking at these savage invaders who had a llama or old little Mongol top and pony a little half wild ponies still written on the steps today who could control also with the knees. They didn't even need a rain of a touch of a hand on the neck. We used the whole Swans pick the shots. Probably the hook Lantz like that made Mongols the laminated reverse curve Bowl who could shoot from the saddle and hang over the side like a Comanche Indian and shoot as they rolled. Who did not kill what the losses were and when they moved they killed everything. Our atomic bombs and atomic bombs were in goggles and I should say that a hundred thousand on's coming into an area of fifty thousand on's would be quite some of the destruction caused by later mechanized warfare on far more personal and terrible

I should say if you will permit me that they look something like this. Riding a stiff main hoss. Fall into the saddle they didn't use wagons like a mill Mads did they walk through the halls nomads even from childhood. The children were taught from the age of three and a lot of back a pony up a ride on the seat that they were accustomed to moving on the halls at all times. They didn't use start ups which made them not good shock cavalry they couldn't use a lance and later on this is to bring about the feat. Short tunics. They have shot some of the

wholesome save of the cuttings save a pick axe and your lance. I'm going to follow noble creature utterly callous of losses moving in tied to his hawse all the rioting pushing all the peoples in front of them by the sheer disregard for danger and death. The moon is these people who nod coalesce into a kingdom. North of the Danube the capital somewhere up there and Hungary an exact tribute from all the various tribes and all

of your Danube area all the way across to the Caspian they had a band of empire that ran from the Caspian hymn all levels to your Rhine robot and the Empire paid tribute to them to keep them off their backs. You'll have to your Dane gale which the Anglo-Saxon Kings paid to the Danes to keep them off their backs at a later date. It paid them gold to keep them off the backs. It rolled up the German trines this systematically ravaged the women they reduced them almost to animals total savages and yet capable of developing. The prosperous but powerful empire where the latest and greatest King Abdullah who served by the way in the Roman cavalry and learned his tactics that lived with his wife in his wooden hall behind the policy did compound sleeping between white sheets and

embroider a couple that's as all sauce such as Romans used to cover bridal beds and attaining as a boss of those in his wooden hall surrounded by Gothic soldiers and German soldiers and hunted those even Greeks it was the wonderful story of the Greeks who went up from the Eastern Empire. A bishop and met a Greek dressed in the nick costume and said Why are you a Greek and a Christian. The man said grimly and shortly I eat. That's probably the reason why most of them allied themselves with the Huns. Their life the civilization of the destroyed and the Huns now control this whole area and we don't know what drove them west. There are many stories. Mohsen have become Emperor of the east of Constantinople Mostyn was a soldier and Mohsin reestablish the front fall along the

Danube and refuse to pay tribute to the Huns the Huns needed the tribute to keep their own people in line that could have been why they moved to green apostles knowing that Gaul was weak and badly defended as a cos the legend that the Jews still hold a sister of the Emperor sent a reign of Emperor of the West sent a ring and a promise of a hand in marriage to actual love. He would take her away from all this she wasn't very happy in her current life about it later. That's also a story that the Vandal king Ginza right guys Oreck called all Mohan's to invade them all for the simple reason that the Visigoth had sent a princess to marry the son of geyser Rick. She had displeased guys that Rick and he'd slit her nose.

I'm sorry to say mutilated her and sent her back to her father mutilated with a slit nose which of course they could not mend with plastic surgery in those times. This could have been the reason to the guy as I recall them and could have been all these reasons I'm inclined to accept the fact that they weren't paid tribute bus swung west and 450 ravaging as they gain knowledge this is not a great battle but it's a key battle since the disciplines history the one a slave German Gothic Ostrogoths get bit ahead through all the various peoples and pick and tie. They brought all of that control over the head and crossed the Rhine nest and invaded France invaded Gaul. But wasn't anything to stop them. One can speculate what might have happened if the hole's which has been

anywhere from 50 files of the 400000 remember with ancient statistics you should cut them in half and then Cup them in half again. Those after you pass town halls and they always just say lots and lots of myriads and myriads of varied as 10000 that thousand times and you know all of the saints and all the rest of it in the hymn. This is your myriad concepts and have the fifty thousand possibly a hundred thousand homes of Germanic slaves swept into central France. IHS. Patrik Yes the patrician and governor of the Roman Gaul. Electing what troops could march north on to the lobby of the battle standard of Christ with the Eagles still the old fashioned Roman western Roman legionaries me and a lot of heated plate macho collecting from every little kilt all Roman village and provinces he marched the pagan flanks. If you wish this is the first Western

European army the first NATO army in history the pagan Franks from them all terrified by the coming of the Huns sent a contingent under the Kings the Burgundians who'd settled in Bergen days sent a contingent area and Christians and the Visigoths from Spain conquered Spain and driven out the vandals and set up a Visigoth the kingdom in Spain and southern France rolled north. Rolled the ten thousand heavy cavalry in a lot of the same type of cavalry which was to dominate the battlefields of Europe non-progressive leave for the next 500 yells and certainly well to dominate the battlefield at this time marched to join IEEE ships and his army. Also the lovely legend of St.. Say Genevieve the non who stood on the walls of powerless and cursed the Huns when they went away. It is a

lovely story and still stands on her bridge with the hound upbraids cursing and statue. The fact remains that the Huns didn't have siege machinery which is probably why they didn't take us swung down so the rating polities reached down pulled all the old jewels held by an Alan fall strangely stopped off and your Christian armies and your pagan Western European army marched East to meet them somewhere east of all the all between and all the all over hell on the plane. His troops left behind their shields against the cavalry. The Visigoths cavalry on the right wing refused for the time being and the

untrustworthy Allens and some of the Burgundians apparently in the whole set of the very difficult and long day they fought Frankish warrior the Visigoth cavalry in the Western European armies Christian and Pagan against the German armies. Now they fought a long day and killed as they pleased. FULL the first time and the rather ugly little stomach full of killing. And then finally the gun. The recoil ruin his charging in line they destroyed. Back the next night

treated and never came back up again.
