The crusades are too often overlooked or distained as simple wars of greed and hate, yet these videos prove that this couldn't be farther from the truth, with the centuries of interaction, politics, and diplomacy in between. Thank you so much for making these, and keep up the good work!
I’m so happy omg I’ve been waiting for this for so long. The history of the early crusader states is far forgotten and overlooked with no real videos or documentation like this on it! So happy and excited
@@RealCrusadesHistory What happened to your videos in which you discuse how dracula got his name and the other is about pre islamic visigothic brilliance can you please link them to me i really want to see them !
I'm glad to see you delve into this history of the earlier crusader states and their struggle to survive. These men had especially bold faith in the most dire circumstances. Excited to see more in coming videos.
Now it's here in America and every European country, again. Why you think they are allowing invaders into only White European Countries? They seem to think their money will save them
The satisfying writing alongside the pulling from primary source material and solid visuals make for a stellar video as always! It makes the long waiting very much worth it. :> Hats off, wonderful work! God bless and Mary keep ye. ✝️❤️🔥👑
So excited for this episode. This is the important part. You better cover their building projects in this! Their architecture features some of my favorite examples of Norman Gothic Revival!
5:00 Bohemond Rizzed Anna all up. Scandalous. Hahahahhaha. Bohemond is just that guy. That guy you don’t want to run into in an alley. That guy who you want on your side in a dispute. He’s just THAT guy.
I'll go ahead and take credit for wearing my long-sleeve Godfrey of Bouillon entering Jerusalem RCH shirt today triggering this upload...But seriously, always stoked for these long documentaries 👍🏻
what was the societal/common view of the crusaders who returned back to their homeland after the crusades? (specifically Europe), were they respected, or praised? were they shunned or ostracized for leaving their “duty”? or was it mostly a mixed view ?
They were praised as heroes. Far from having neglected their duty, they were considered to have performed their most true duty. During this period crusaders were the equivalent of rock stars. No exaggeration. For example, Bohemond, who'd been a second-rate disinherited son, after the First Crusade he married the daughter of the King of France.
i have a question about the 1st crusade, why didn't the crusaders use the sea route to go directly to jerusalem instead of marching thousands of miles in hostile territories and facing unfavourable conditions?
they could go directly to jerusalem and expand from there to whatever diretion they want. they departed europe with more than 60000 men at arms including 6000 armored knights, after many battles and facing near annhilation condition at the city of antioch they reached the holy city with less than 12000 including less than 300 knight, i think their decision to help the byzantines was a great miscalculation especially when we know that the alliance broke up so quickly.@@almighty5839
I awlways wondered the sheer elation and other emotions you would feel as someone in a besieged city seeing reinforcements appear on the horizon. But what I really want to know is what those pilgrims and knights onboard the fleet that just by happenstance became reinforcements. Like you expect to just reach the city and depart, but what you see is smoke and an enemy blockade on a desperate city
my guess would be the "county" is an area of land rolled up into a larger feudal org, such as the kingdom of jerusalem. the "principality" would be a standalone realm that isnt recognized as part of the wider feudal orgs (such as crowned by the pope).
So, I looked this up. It's because thy applied their own noble titles to the lands they conquered. They couldn't claim to be a king without other kings backing them. Plus, they likely had to pay homage to the Byzantine emperor and to the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
From arab sources its kinda gives the picture they underestimated the Europeans at first and kinda werent eager to really try and dislodge them as they were kinda spooked. any further expansion was fought fiercely but they seem to have accepted that they lost to the Christians in levant. It was way later that people like Saladin Baibars who stated to give priority to reconquer the crusader states
Early kingdom of Jerusalem lacked naval support so Egypt could use the coastal cities to harass them time after time. The crusaders managed to take Arsuf, Caesarea and Haifa by the year 1101 as those towns were small and poorly fortified so that the Egyptian navy couldn't arrive in time. Ashkelon though was well fortified so that naval support was required and it remained a thorn till 1153. Nor did they fortify the shefelah plain to the south of Ramla until 1144.
Could you do a response video to Fredda's response video to Pax Tube's crusade video? I think both of those guys are pushing their own narrative instead of looking at history objectively.
The Normans are the most underrated though badass no one could beat mofos of all time just like there ancestors the Vikings...they were the toughest of their time no doubt about it...
they write about King Richard that he was beautiful, yes, but it was also his inner spiritual beauty that was evident on his expression. he was just a big nervous wreck. Peter Capuy got so upset that he had a migraine attack.
I remember when me and 8 other knights were digging in jursulm we found a special cup we will just say very special indeed I was the first to drink and and the rest is history but IV lived through it all cursed to live forever
Not taking Damascus was huge mistake also the crusaders didn't attempts to take Egypt until 1170 with Byzantine help Manuel but why they waited this long until fatimed is removed by saladin had they toke Egypt tho the crusaders will be far more stronger state even raiding into the east
It's to bad the crusaders couldn't live in peace with surrounding states. They couldn't give up the crusader mentality. Kept raiding caravans and stuff like that.
Well crusades begun as solution to economic and other crysis emerged at Europe, so it was kinda solutuion to it. They were unexpected success and as such they would not invest more as they already had surplus from campaign, who would risk to gamble further and risk it all right?
History is all one sided. I admire the crusaders....men of faith and honor. People conveniently overlook the enemies transgressions. Islam is far younger the the other 2 religions. People forget how it is they came into possession of those lands .....

Christian haters are always and always bringing the fourth crusade in arguments and completely ignores the rest.@rickyyacine4818
They say that to suppress us. They fear us so they must tell us this.
Christian fight for holy land and it’s barbaric. Muslims do it and it’s all good.
A video on YT is not proof of anything. Just saying.. Very well made and interesting video. Great job.

Anna's possible crush on Bohemund never ceases to be funny.
And the daughter of the enemy Emir was also his lover.

I see that I have been totally lied to about the crusades. Very interesting, complicated, nuanced situation. Great video!

Shoutout to that one Muslim noble who thanked Baldwin for his past mercy by having mercy on him.
Just commenting for the algorithm
Great work tho 👍🏻
I would love for you to do a video about the warrior kings before the crusade
Can we get a signed copy of your book anywhere?
GREAT to see RCH back on the job!
Very good documentary on the Crusades. Something, unfortunately, I know too little about.

Fatamid horses had maille in the 11th century? European horses didnt have armour until the 13th century.
i have a question about the 1st crusade, why didn't the crusaders use the sea route to go directly to jerusalem instead of marching thousands of miles in hostile territories and facing unfavourable conditions?
Because they allied the Byzantine empire and needed their help so in return helped them retake Greek territory
they could go directly to jerusalem and expand from there to whatever diretion they want.
they departed europe with more than 60000 men at arms including 6000 armored knights, after many battles and facing near annhilation condition at the city of antioch they reached the holy city with less than 12000 including less than 300 knight, i think their decision to help the byzantines was a great miscalculation especially when we know that the alliance broke up so quickly.@@almighty5839

Does anyone know the difference between “county” of Edessa vs the “principality” of Antioch ?
my guess would be the "county" is an area of land rolled up into a larger feudal org, such as the kingdom of jerusalem. the "principality" would be a standalone realm that isnt recognized as part of the wider feudal orgs (such as crowned by the pope).

Yes but how does it work with vassalage , etc taxes and raising armies. Not simply status
It's astonishing they lasted as long as they did, given the odds against them.
From arab sources its kinda gives the picture they underestimated the Europeans at first and kinda werent eager to really try and dislodge them as they were kinda spooked. any further expansion was fought fiercely but they seem to have accepted that they lost to the Christians in levant.

Wow. Just wow
The Normans are the most underrated though badass no one could beat mofos of all time just like there ancestors the Vikings...they were the toughest of their time no doubt about it...
No losers, their weakness is greed
so capturing levant . easy trade routes to china and india
With all the accomplishments it really makes you think about what they could have done with more men and some additional supply lines.
What was the Levante called und those days? It was surely not Palestine.
Ask emperor Hadrian
Total war made doing historical documentaries far easier
what happened after the 1st crusade . started waiting on the 2nd
What role did the armenians play? How did the armenians view the crusaders?
He has a video on Baldwin II (I believe) and his bold Armenian Queen that's pretty interesting.
Cool
they write about King Richard that he was beautiful, yes, but it was also his inner spiritual beauty that was evident on his expression. he was just a big nervous wreck. Peter Capuy got so upset that he had a migraine attack.
What do you think about the Pagans thatc laim the Viking raids were a Norse crusade against Christian expansion?.
I remember when me and 8 other knights were digging in jursulm we found a special cup we will just say very special indeed I was the first to drink and and the rest is history but IV lived through it all cursed to live forever
after vinland saga we got the crusader story
I’m so confused why these crusader are getting praised when there the invaders

Crusaders: Why do we attack Jesus’ capital, the city of Damascus, when Jesus loves Egypt?
@@عليياسر-ذ5ب because Damascus was huge city and the base for many arab commander like saladin ,nor al din and zengi
Woo

It's to bad the crusaders couldn't live in peace with surrounding states. They couldn't give up the crusader mentality. Kept raiding caravans and stuff like that.
Until a certain nephew of an Egyptian governor rise to power and conquer Jerusalem, that is. 😄
Why didnt the papal state give more funds and the catholic kingdoms?
Well crusades begun as solution to economic and other crysis emerged at Europe, so it was kinda solutuion to it. They were unexpected success and as such they would not invest more as they already had surplus from campaign, who would risk to gamble further and risk it all right?
I guess they didn’t have enough faith in god to take care of them. So much for the power of the Holy Spirit.
Did the locals at the time call this place Palestine?
“donnish men” , I think your AI apis have said “Day-nish men”
We got 77 years. thats it.
History is all one sided. I admire the crusaders....men of faith and honor. People conveniently overlook the enemies transgressions. Islam is far younger the the other 2 religions. People forget how it is they came into possession of those lands .....
It's called Isreal
Can we agree the English guy is so much better narrating
i love this
