How Did A Medieval Battle Work?

In today's video we look into how a medieval battle would typically work - the pre-planning, the scouting, the information gathering, the command structure, and the reason for committing to a battle.

A huge thank you to all the historical reenactors who are featured in this video, as they dedicate their spare time to help give a visual aid to learning history and helping people understand the accurate representations of different historical periods.
