This is one of the most intriguing under-explored topics in history to me. It's also set in a very interesting time period, a preview of early Spanish colonization in what we consider the late Middle Ages, in a time before the Reconquista was even complete. Thanks for your work.

[@FroyourHistory]

I agree, it is an interesting transitional era. Many thanks for watching

[@StoicHistorian]

Great video! Such an intriguing forgotten slice of history

[@FroyourHistory]

Thank you very much, it was fascinating to learn about.

[@thibautnarme6402]

French wiki also alludes that de Béthencourt had knowledge of the islands prior to the crusade because Grainville was a local textile center and already used orcein.
