Dear Patron,

I'm delighted to share the premiere of England's Greatest Naval Disaster - The Medway Raid. This is an overlooked but dramatic and important clash of the Anglo-Dutch Wars, largely forgotten in England today (I wonder why!)

This topic was the winner in our Patreon poll back in June, and Editor Josh has been hard at work researching and animating de Ruyter's daring attack, with help from our own resident Dutchman Eddy the Editor, plus brilliant 3D work from David, and guidance from historical consultant Andrew Lambert, Laughton Professor of Naval History at King's College London.

While you're here, a quick update on The Hundred Days Episode 3: Waterloo: in order to do justice to the iconic battle, and make sure every detail is as perfect as Patrick can make it, we've decided to push the release back 2 weeks. We're confident the delay will be worth it...

That's all for now. We hope you enjoy The Medway Raid, and we'll be back with more production updates and a big poll next week!

I was so let down yesterday. But now, I’m high as kite!

TankerBricks

Excellent video as always! Funnily enough it was the Great Fire of London that sparked my interest in history!

Matthew Marshall

Pesky Dutch must have made it to Istanbul to drain the Black Sea as well! Fantastic video as ever and great animated scenes

MitchyCool

Johan de Witt and his brother would go on to be horribly murdered by their own people, so savagely in fact that some reported people biting into their flesh and even eating parts of them.

Lord John 🇵🇱💚

This was awesome the detail the sound track the animated scene & the battlefields them selves look amazing!!! As always everything is absolutely awesome!!! Thank You “Epic History” 💚

Ross McCaughey

Great video on such an under understood battle. This video has got me in the mood for a video on the Dutch rampjaar perhaps.

Max kennedy

Another fantastic video, though about an agonizingly painful subject as an Englishman. De Ruyter showed the extreme leadership, heroism and initiative. Truly one of the greatest naval commanders ever, to lead a fleet into the main anchorage of a peer adversary, capture a first rate and burn 3 others. Not even Nelson could claim to raid Brest or Toulon with such an outsized degree of success. (Though he might be able to argue such in Copenhagen).

Enzo

Brilliant work, one of this channels best. Fantastic decision making regarding what topic to cover, love yall!

Zoldy

It ends perfectly to lead into the wars of Louis XIV. It would be amazing if they did a long form series on those wars... But I highly doubt it. Still, one can hope!

Discorules

Can't wait. Two weeks is a blink of an eye. For now, going to enjoy this little gem.

Shlatt

incredible episode

Richard Fernandes

Great video as always! Greetings for your Dutch Editor from a Dutch fellow: Uitstekend werk met de bewerking. Groeten

Richard Fernandes

Is up to us if in a next poll, we suggest it. So, don't give up.

Samuel Pattinasarane

So wonderful! Although had also hoped to hear more voices and quotes from the Dutch to balance it out, like at least De Ruyter and De Witt :)

MrAH2010

I'm having some issue reading the quotes. I think it is the combination of the lower contrast on the colors and the non-standard font.

Rik engel

Amazing video as per usual, but a bit of Dutch history is always welcome! Keep up the great work and be sure to keep the Dutch content coming!!!

My topic that was put forward for greatest British defeat poll was for Isandlwana however I am glad this won because the video was absolutely fantastic. I would still like to see a 2 part video in the future of Isandlwana and Rorkes Drift and the heroism of both sides. Although I appreciate there are so many topics to cover!

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you, we'll see if we can get it refilled!

EpicHistoryTV

Yes, I stumbled across a very gruesome painting of their bodies hanging from the tree while doing research..

Stuart Carver

Awesome video. Love that you went back to the 3D maps used for Verdun I’m just excited to hear my name get what I like to call “The Nove effect!”

Richard Fernandes

Good Morning Toby: What's the name of the song (Soundtrack) that starts on 2:32? It's the same we heard the first time on the first video about The One Hundred Days Campaign. Thanks!

Stuart Walker

Absolute belter of a video - brilliant maps and story telling. I've read about the raid on the Medway but did not have a clear idea of what it actually looked like. This brought it to life in a thrilling and informative way. First class job.

Franco Curotto

I'm loving this style of video you are developing, combining maps, paintings and 3D animation. Combined with the narration, I think is the best form of historical documentary.

GhostAbove

Fantastic video, However a map error at 5:18 the Black Sea and Half the Baltic appear to be filled in. Not sure if it was intentional or not but it was a bit jarring. I suppose given the subject matter it matters little but I figured I'd point it out Additional small error- Battle of St James' Day on the video map says 1665 when it happened in 1666. That aside, I loved every second of this video, Truly!

Eddy van Mourik

Thanks Richard! Credit where credit is due, it was our other editor Josh who took the lead on this project and I only helped out sporadically. Very impressed with the result though. Vriendelijke groet terug!

Richard Fernandes

You welcome Eddy! That's The Power of a TEAM Work. Keep it up 👊🏼

EpicHistoryTV

That one is 'Return of the Rex', an original commission by Ben Hayden!

Richard Fernandes

Thank You! It has become one of my favorites! Have a great day!

Eli Khanam

When I was in Amsterdam, I saw the Royal Charles stern piece at the Rijksmuseum and it hurt my British pride a little. I hope the Dutch will one day loan it to us like the French recently did with the Bayeux Tapestry, just so King Charles III can show everyone he is far better than his namesake predecessors!

Sean Fitzgerald

Excellent, as always. What’s the song that starts at 1:18?

EpicHistoryTV

Thank you! It's called Imperium, from Filmstro.

Joe Jameson

I really enjoyed this, I used to visit Upnor Castle with my Grandma when I was a kid and have vivid memories of clutching the massive handheld audio guide which seemed to always make the experience come to life. Thanks for another excellent video!

EpicHistoryTV

Nice to hear, I used to visit Upnor with my Dad in the 1990s!

Admiral Sith

Great video as always, it's always good to welcome fresh air in the form of lesser known, but equaly important history. I believe most are as excited as me for Waterloo, so take your time.

Connor Cichy

Please give us more episodes of the American Revolution

EpicHistoryTV

It's coming, after the Hundred Days series.. Saratoga, Yorktown, the works..

Mohammed Alsaadoon

Only remembered to watch this when I saw the Youtube premier lol Of course, English defeats bring me great joy and happiness. :-) My compliments to whoever arranged the soundtrack and I think the 3D "Diorama" of the Medway looks stunning

Ty P

Hi, what is the song called that starts at 32:27 (and several other places).

EpicHistoryTV

It is a track called Defeat, one of our original commissions.

Ty P

Thanks! How do I get my hands on it?? I'm dealing with serious trauma and this song gave me welcome boost. Like going on despite what life throws at you. 🙂

EpicHistoryTV

Unfortunately we don't release our tracks on their own, but 'Defeat' is featured in some of the Patreon Music Scores that are available to the Cuirassier tier and above (Battle of Verdun, American Revolution Part 5 and Battle of the Nile).

Fraser Whyte

A fantastic video, loved every minute, really loving the navy videos, I wonder if you might cover the battle of Chesapeake bay as you are doing the American revolution at the moment

Ty P

So if I join that tier, can I have those scores or am I just able to listen to them while I pay?

EpicHistoryTV

It will certainly feature when we resume the series.

EpicHistoryTV

Yes, unfortunately we do not have licence to make this music available for download. You can stream these scores while you are subscribed to these tiers.

Ty P

That's disappointing. Anyway, thank you for clarifying. Good luck for the channel!
