"GG WP" from the Pope is like the highest honor you can get as a medieval gamer.
The Arab conquests were the first examples of medieval gamers rising up
I'm pretty certain that is what's engraved on the Benemerenti.
Unless you’re a Mongolian gamer
Lol XD
GG WP.....LMAO.LMFAO.LOL.YOLO...PEOPLE OF TODAY ARE SO STUPID!!!!.....WHAT KIND OF LANGUAGE IS THIS
Al-Samh should have known that relaxing after a battle was a good way Toulouse.
Ooohhhh snap!
Goddamn puns. Lol
Get out.
Lol
Nice
Both armies certainly had a lot Toulouse.
Leave now.
Get out
boy if you dont get lol
Did u just..?
The door is too good for you.
There's a frankish nobleman called RADBOD, imagine his sixpack
That name is a fine germanic,christian name that you could name you children after.Also:Radbod, Radbot, Ratbod, Ratpot, Redbod, Redbad, Radboud, Rapoto, or sometimes just Boddo, is a Germanic masculine given name that may refer to:
Redbad, King of the Frisians (died 719)
Radbod (prefect) (833-54), Frankish prefect
Ratbod (archbishop of Trier) (died 915)
Radboud of Utrecht (died 917), bishop
Radbot, Count of Habsburg (died 1045)
Rabodo (died 1119)
Redbad (film), 2018 Dutch film
Radboud may also refer to
Radboud University Nijmegen (formerly Catholic University Nijmegen), called after Saint Radboud

👆this, is why I read comments
@@Soulise1o1 Manganelo comments are gold my friend. Most youtube comments are made by idiot children.
Very good!
This comment makes no sense for Latin speakers.
Absolutely loving the focus on the Early Middle Ages. No secret that it's my favourite era in history. Great to see it getting the attention it deserves. 'Dark Ages' = Absolute nonsense.
Certainly not very dark for the arabs
Medium rare ages?
History Time It’s about time they finally made another video on this topic I missed the buz battle so much
love your documentaries. I watch them while working out, it gets me in the flow
Tom Butthurt For Europe I wouldn’t say it was the time of dying till the Black Death. The continent finally surpassed Rome’s highest population in the 13th century and was developing pretty rapidly.
I've thought I had seen enough of these to know that whoever leaves his tent to take a morning stroll is about to have a very bad day. As it turns out, this gentleman had a pretty decent day but a very bad night.
In a story or cartoon or movie or book, everything mentioned serves a purpose, and nothing is accidental, so if in Scooby Doo, the background is a brighter colour than the rest of the scene, that means there will be movement there, and if some details are given in the early part of a book, that means they will probably resurface by the end. And here, if someone's stroll is mentioned it is because it was a remarkable one. They would not mention it otherwise.
If you never see carcassonne it's fortification and the medieval village are very well preserved!
Truly impressing fortifications, but mostly 13th century fortifications (albigensis crusade period), and heavily restored by Viollet-le-duc (not even mentioning some poor restaurations).
Did they surrender it undamaged?
@@yourstruly4817 I don't know. They have been restored and doesn't have any sign of damages.
I was expecting a broadgame reference, but instead they are serious. Hecc.
The fortifications were restored last century and paid by a rich donor
Odo: "Charles, the Muslims are attacking, I coud use some help here!"
Charles: "What happened to 'Mr. Independent' there? I thought you did not need us?"
Precisely what I would say
And he didn't need them.
Kevin Boros Charles “The Hammer” Martel and the Battle of Tours says differently
Sounds like something a shortsighted democrat would say.
@@ragnarlothbrok4281 can't blame Odo
If the Visigoths weren't so weak they'd have been fine
"GG WP" - Pope Gregory II
What does that mean?
Ha, should have expected someone was going to say that before me. That'll teach me not to look at the comments before I post.
I lolled so hard
@@alexandrub8786 it means "good game, well played"
@@johnnythreetimes3600 thanks.
UPKEEP TOO GREAT!
You have recruited so many units
the treasury is buckling under the weight of their upkeep.
Capturing new territory would spread the cost,
as well as putting your troops to good use!
which game is this :D?
@@schatzkammerein total war Attila
@@schatzkammerein Attila: Total War but I heard it's in Rome II too
@@victorbruant389 it is can confirm as i destroy carthage lol
And if you lose units in the time of the campaigne that will have the same effect.
Curious fact: before the battle of Tours, Odo tried to ally with Uthman ibn Naissa, a muslim governor in Catalonia. Odo acceepted and his dauther got married with Uthman. Both wanted to maintain their independence from Charles Martel and the emir of Cordoba.
At the end they failed. Odo has submit to the Frankish. On the other side Uthman was executed, his head was sent to Damascus and his wife (the daugther of Odo) became a concubine in the harem of the caliph.
One question, do you have any Spanish battles prepared?
Is got to see the frankish tradition on making allies out of the enemies of your bretherens. Seriously why didn't the Papacy just excommunicate all of them or send an inquisition?
Javi Jimenez Battle of Aljubarrota.
Odo should've known better then to get mixed up with that filth, it never ever in any place ended anything but badly in the long term.
sad end for odo's daughter
@@alexandrub8786 The papacy didnt have that sort of power or influence in this period, Rome was a city in ruins and at times even a backwater.
Also, medieval inquisition was created in the 12th century and was nothing like the later 15th century/ renaissance you know of .
Last time I was this early, Normandy still belonged to that bastard named William.
Dude...
Uncool
I would like to say sire, that my lord william (that we call guillaume never understood where did you lost the g and the u's, probably where you find this w) has now conquered england and shall noty be named "the bastard"a anymore but the conqueror.
By the way, this Charles (soon to be "martel") also was a bastard.
Reminds me of game of thrones...
This whole conversation is like a monty python skit. You go guys!
@@romanpapec6735 I'm a huge fan of monthy python and similar british humour like blackadder, so thank you good sir !
Perfect timing. I always sit down and eat lunch at my university and I always watch K&G, BB, Historymarche. Keep up the good videos
Dick Thunder I just watched in my car, lunch time ..from Canada Ontario
Historia Civilis too I hope!
Don't forget Epic History tv
I really appreciate that there were tiny blue infantry units shown stationed on the walls and patrolling the streets in the depiction of the town.
**Fun fact: the main roads in Toulouse still follow the path of the old city walls**
Bulwark -> Boulevard etc...
That's probably true for most European cities considering that most walls were used up until the 1800s
It is the same for Paris
Makes sense...I imagine those big foundations make excellent road base
@@geriharp132 The two main roads around a city I lived in are literally called Nordwall and Südwall...northern rampart and southern rampart.
@@HistoryGameV Celle in Germany? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celle
Thank you for this story. I was born and living in Toulouse, and I didn't know this story about my city
In the french subtitles, the old french word "ost" , which means "army" is incorrectly translated as "hôte", which is the modern french form of ths word "host". ("footman" has also been translated as "valet" instead of "fantassin"). But the video is very good. In France we mainly know about the battle of Poitiers, and i have nearly never heard about the battle of Toulouse before.
After completing his reign as Duke of Aquitaine, Odo went on to serve as head of security for Deep Space 9.
This duke does appear to be of unknown substance.
Odo on deep space 9 would have been a perfect Duke.
Man Baz Battles I thought we had lost you forever. Haven't seen you post in a while. THANK YOU for your return. we salute you
Halelujah! Another BazBattles upload!!

I LOLd hard, thanks!
Odo took a huge risk by not committing his entire force during the 1st attack but it was a calculated one which will eventually pay off because he had as his disposal some fresh troops and, together with the rest that fought earlier, managed to surprise and defeat an unsuspecting Arab force.
As for Charles Martel, either by his own judgement or that of others around him, he eventually made the right choice by not providing help to Odo because everything will turn out to be what he really wanted from the get go.
If he committed his entire force to the first attack, he loses and then the city falls... it would be better to sacrifice the city rather than throw away his whole army in a battle he knows he cant win.
His solution of a small attack to give the impression his army was small and weak was genius. Using the Muslim cockiness against themselves is the highest general ship and would have made sun tzu very proud
@@johnnythreetimes3600 And that is why I said that he took a huge but calculated risk and that paid off. And yes, Sun Tzu would have been really proud.
Odo exposes their cockiness and Charles exposed their greed. Both really are military geniuses and completely understand how to get into their enemies head.
@@rayzas4885 Absolutely.
Not a huge risk at all. They were cavalry cavalry can easily disengage infantry.
He's back! The Madlad is back!

Love when you make French history videos man! As always, great stuff.
And to think that much later Odo would end up successful again as the chief of security on a mining station out on the far frontier. What a guy.
Informative, interesting, and so fun to follow, greetings from France!
"GG WP" the Pope in 721
10:05
Love how the symbol of the papal states just shows up, "gg wp" and vanishes 😂
As a Basque/ Gascon I can tell you I was eagerly waiting for this one. Awesome storytelling and top notch animations. Nice work guys
This is literally my favorite youtube channel. If you could manage to post more frequently I'd love you forever
Could you cover the rest of the campaign? You mention the battle of Bordeaux, so clearly a lot went on between 721 and 732.
I love your voice, it almost feels nostalgic hearing it when a new video is up.
Man I love this channel!
I just grabbed my coffee and sat down. This is exactly what I wanted to watch.
Could I ask why?
@@laitchdasi Why I wanted to watch this? Cuz it's military history! And this channel excels at it. And first thing I want in the morning is something that gets me thinking. Stupid vids for later.
@@AresLeviathan that's awesome!
I actually like this channel that's something at least we have this in common ..
Good luck with the rest of your day.
Your videos have the perfect mix of education and entertainment
BB is so amazing! Every time there is a new upload i am trilled with excitement! They are so wel made! Keep up the good work!!! 👍👍👍
Needless to say that Odo had no time Toulouse :)
Al-Samh decided Toulose instead of playing Carcassone.
Joke aside , Having visited Carcassonne before I can understand why felt it was a little to big to chew .
I was checking your channel daily for new videos....
and just got a notification right now! 11 minutes of bazbattles, YAAAAAAAAAAAAY ME HAPPY BUNNY NOW!
I just discovered this channel and let me told ya that this is gold. Great background explanation, animations and exposition of the battle. Keep this good content!
Rookie mistake, should have followed up with an attacking Narbonne. And secured the mountain passes. CK2 training has trained me well lol.
When Odo held the door.
Thanks for covering this. Such an important battle, yet relatively unheard of.
Awesome videos as usual, always high quality!
The thing I don't like about your videos
is that there aren't enough of them
Pope "GG, WP" LOL
Its good to see you back making Videos your Channel is the only one i get excited about !
I am born in Toulouse, still live here, I was not even aware of this battle.
So thank you 😉
Just a little note to add :
In France the latter battle of Tours is known as the battle of Poitiers and is still nowadays discussed mostly when the debate is about the cohabitation of catholics originated and Muslim originated French people. The French government of the late XIXth century wrote the history of the French nation notably by taking the battle of Poitiers as an example of French bravery against the Muslim invader. And depending on your history teacher, you can clearly hear that version of the story.
I love how your video clearly shows that the battle of Poitiers is more a strategic political move from Charles Martel than an act of Catholic bravery against the heretic (even tho it was also the case but was of lesser importance to his eyes).
Only Europeans these days could have a negative view of their ancestors protecting their own land from a invaded. Sad
Bravery against heretics? Unless Muslims are seen as a christian sect from Petra that split after the ... council of Nicea
@@JoeSmith-sl9bq To be clear, I've never said that. I'm just saying the way this battle is politically used nowadays to defend point of views is not so true. Yes this was an invasion, but not that threatening compared to Charles Martel power forces. Ideologies have twisted the complexity of the politics and turned it into simple monofocused visions.
@@2adamast You're talking about arianism there aren't you?
@@2adamast
At the time of the battle of Tours/Poitiers, the precise nature of Islam was quite unknown to franks, even theologians:
A fair number still believed it was simply a non-trinitarian variant of christianity, as it was common (especially among early medieval germanic tribes - arianism).
Thus, Islam at this time has often been confused with a rather common kind of christian heresy.
I live in Toulouse
Please upload more often. I'm a big fan of yours. Love to see more from youm
Man. i gotta say. iv been watching these things for well over a year now. ur doing an awesome job. thankyou.
Do Battle of Tours next!

I like your style, would really like to see Catalaunian Fields 451, Tours 732 and some of the battles of the Reconquista. Too bad there is not a way to script a heavily modded version of Attila Total War to force battle outcomes and use the top down camera for your graphics, because I would totally help you make those. I've got my 12-year-old nephew hooked on your channel, he retains the information a lot more than just hearing me talk about these battles lol.
This is a fantastic series of videos you have. Thank you for making them
Another outstanding production.Cheers!
Hurray new Bazbattles!
Candy!
This ODO and japanese odo nobunaga both defeated a larger invading army at night with element of surprise.
Coincident? I think not.

Please make a video on the "Battle of the Catalunian plains".... Flavius Aetius vs Atilla the Hun!
The people who fought these battles were our ancestors. Europe was formed by battle after bloody battle, but today people seem oblivious to the sacrifices made by our ancestors. Our freedoms came at a PRICE. Most people today can hardly name a single battle fought back in the day. This channel is great.
Another great baz battles video. Always look forward to them.
I love your videos, please never stop uploading.

Hey there, from a citizen of Toulouse !
Love these video. Amazing work
Honestly, I hate how short this video is, the ending where the slides talk about the aftermath is so very engaging that it comes as a disappointment that they weren't included in the animation.
They should do a total war game based on the reconquista starting shortly before Las Navas de tolosa
Going all the way to the conquest of Granada
I love this idea. Even Medieval 2: Iberian campaign (just like Crusades and Baltic) would be enough for me.
You realy make the best Battle Videos, always looking forward to a nee one.
Your voice is so soothing I don't know how to describe it. Well, at least it's great for narrating. Keep up the good work! :)
Could you please do the Battle of Montgisard such an underrated battle.
Not really that of a battle ,saladin's army was ambushed and attacker from behind and some thought that saladin himself was killed.
Not that of a face to face battle
Someone has to make this an anime.
Somebody has to do an anime about every countries history.
Th Jeanne d'Arc anime turned out to be interesting, if one ignores all History xD
Make sure Odo and Charles get genderbent.
This is so well made - it's incredible!!
your content is so good bro, praise Be Bazbattles
No time Toulouse!
I live in Toulouse and I can tell maybe they lost the battle but they left all of their cousins here ....
You re right mate ! i was born at toulouse !i left at 18 years old and sometimes i go there i can see the difference and leftist are saying the great replacement doesn t exist !! lol
what do u mean?
I love your videos and how much time u put in them. Keep up the great work 👍
Yes!!!
I have been waiting for this battle.
whats your opinion about the jewish question
"LVDVM BONVM; BENE LVSIT"
-Pope Gregory II.
Do battle of Didgori next please
Battle of Didgori 515H: a great victory for the Georgians and the Kipchaks against 30,000 muslims,muslims lost 14,000 men (killed or captured)
after in 517H and a war outbreak between Georgians and Kipchaks ,Sultan Mahmoud take advantage of the opportunity and defeat them in two separate battles
The Georgians were crushed after in the year 601H and 20 years later they were defeated by the Ayyubids in Shaaban 620 H and several of their nobles were captured and also they were heavly defeated in the siege of kanja in the year 622H and received in the same year a series of heavy defeats at the hands of Sultan Jalaluddin killing dozens of thousands of them and in the year 623 H: Muslims were able to conquer Tbilisi killing 100,000 Georgians and enslaved all the georgian women and children
hey thanks for that story somebody told you but that kind of untrue. Didgori took place in 1121 when King Davit of georgia defeated over 100k invaders. and i didnt asked for your little history trip on disneyland bra, i just asked for Didgori battle in next video. next time tell real stories...
though thats right they slaved over milion georgians for no reason. now look at them, where are they now, they vanished. every single invader that comes into this world with blood is going to leave this world with blood.
@@nikapantsulaia8627 515 Hijri in islamic calender and muslims were 30,000 according to all muslim historians like ibn Al athir ,al dhahabi,ibn al kathir .. Muslims were busy fighting the Crusaders.. and the Georgians were not a major threat
