During the Second Crusade, a fleet of crusaders joined one of history's most remarkable rulers, King Afonso I of Portugal, in a decisive siege of Lisbon.

Quick question, how did Latins in outremer generally view mamlukes. Was there every any pitty for them considering most were once Christian or did they see them similar to how Saracens saw Templars?
Hi, I like the work you do. Thank you for doing it. If I'd like to learn more about the religios practices of the templar and other similar orders, what would be a good source? Not the history, not the fighting, but the religious practices.
Are you getting this from books, if so which ones? Would be fascinating to go through this stuff in more depth!
he was already controling the region of lisbon since 1140, when the first attempt to conquer the city failed, the arabs payed him a tribute since 1142 not to raid the region, he was very active and the arabs had lost its control since that time. it was a matter of time (when more "crusaders" passed ) till lisbon fell into Afonso hands.
It is in fact a competent resume of some major historical facts but know this Spain was yet to be so you must say The Castillans not the spanish
4:47 I don't know where that audio bug came from, but for a short moment, I thought some demon was gonna jump through my headphones and eat my soul.
Same here I was shooketh
Ahh thanks for the heads up
It was a foreshadow of the "cries of anguish as the section of wall fell".
Congratulations on pronouncing Afonso the right way. Unlike most videos where they call him Alfonso. He was our first king. He is Portugal.
I always make a point to get his name right. He's one of my favorite figures from history.
I'm Portuguese and I wanted to thank you for sharing our history. Can you do a video about Don Nuno Alvares Pereira and the battle of Aljubarrota, please? Thank you.
Batalha de diu...chau..
Nada paso a Aljubarrota, sniff

As a Portuguese man and someone who loves crusades history thank you for talking about my people's history during that time which isn't as well known. Viva Portugal 🇵🇹
Portugaliae hin hoc signo vinces🇵🇹
Not enough Portugal history out there
Because ignorance we a small nation its why
History is written by the victors. The de facto victors of our times would be the offshoots of the british empire, and by virtue of interaction with the US in its early history...the spanish empire also got some limelight in american history books (and americans are really the storytellers of our time)..
@@jeanlundi2141 it not Americans the controllers that control America and all western Counties are the owner/controllers of the Central Bank. They've controlled the world or steered for there interest and to keep the common wealth enslaved
Long live Iberia, the splendor of western Europe.
Que exagero!
It’s interesting how Lisbon was a success, and yet Damascus was just confusing in 1148. Lisbon was the success of the Second Crusade.
it probably helps that there was a strong christian power in the region back then, as opposed to Damascus where the muslims had consolidated their power and done away with all christian claimants to power.
Montblanc you’re exactly right!
I'm American but have over 50% Iberian DNA (Portuguese/Spanish). I feel like knowing this rich history is good. Thank you for this. ⚔️ 🛡️
And So Am I...I'm very proud of their courage and faith as well.

Actually we had kings before him. The visigoths kings from which my family hails from
My last name is Henriques. My husband's father came to the US in1930.
one of my ancestors was a Ship Captain, Captain Veríssimo. who helped Pedro Álvares Cabral in a couple trips@@Thiago_Alves_Souza ! if u ever go on a trip, ill be your ship captain haha
I have Portuguese and Spaniard ancestry, and I’m always happy to learn about our history. This is one of the best channels for learning history
Ok my friend, but never speek spanish in Portugal please.
@@paulocorreia7942 Oh I know not to do that, just like you shouldn’t compare anything Portuguese to Spanish 😂
Once again thanks for the great info. There's more about Templars here in Portugal. Check the city of Tomar and Gualdin Pais, our first Templar Mestre!
Thank you for sharing the history of Obidos so proud of the first Templar King. God continue to bless the land Portugal.
This is why I believe that I have Templar blood. My grandfather was from Lisbon and I am a 1/4 Portuguese and proud as hell of my heritage!
All it takes is a little lol I'm half Portuguese our blood runs hot
@@geewhiz5926 I did a DNA and found out that my top result was Portuguese. I’m very curious to learn about our Fatherland
@@uptown_rider8078 we call our nation the Fatherland brother plenty to be proud of we're one of the oldest countries in Europe with the oldest borders we're the first European country to be a global super power with a vast empire spanning from east to west lasting from its beginning right after the Reconquista all the to 1999 or 2002 regarding both Macao and east Timor there is so much rich history and culture we were in full out war with the Ottoman empire fighting proxy wars against them as well. We're a mix of Celtic and Germanic.
@@geewhiz5926 My mistake brother, I went back and fixed that. I’m definitely proud of our Portuguese culture, history, and heritage. I’ve been wanting to learn more about our ancestors, and our great nation when I found out that Portuguese was my top result in the DNA test. I love the mix of Celtic and Germanic too, I just feel so connected to the music, the culture, and the Portuguese people. I’d love to learn more about our people, if you can tell me more.
My last name is Henriques. My husband's father came from Portugal in 1930. Guess he had royal blood.....
You should had mention Martim Moniz. He was a noble that managed to prevented the moors from closing the castles gate by lodging himself in the doorway! Looking forward to see your cobver of the reconquest of Ceuta! The first step in reconquering North Africa!
Reconquering north africa? Since when we owned nort africa. As far i now ceuta whas the first time we owned something in NA before that dom sebastião tried it once but failed. Am i missing something? The last time North africa was christian was in the roman empire.
Tânger, Tetouan, Mazagao, Assila e mais alguma praças marroquinas foram portuguesas por muitos anos.
Apenas Fez , Meknes, Marrakesh nunca foram conquistadas. Onde as várias dinastias marroquinas se refúgiavam dos nossos ataques.
Depois os espanhóis e franceses tomaram conta daquilo.
leandro rodrigues e Ceuta foi em 1415. Alcácer Kibir foi em 1578... ou seja foi depois. E já controlávamos outras cidades e praças africanas e marroquinas incluídas.

Greetings from Brazil
My love, my country - Portugal 🇵🇹! My city - Lisbon!
From Portugal and by the sword we stand tall
Dom Afonso Henriques, warrior king and father of the Portuguese nation, is laid to rest in a fairly modest tomb, along side his son, Dom Sancho I, in the Igreja da Santa Cruz, Coimbra.
The tombs are hidden behind the altar and when I went to pay my respects in the empty church, I was surprised to find them covered in cobwebs and dust, forgotten by the nation they founded.
But Portugal is the land were secrets go to vanish, so it's only fitting that the warrior king and father of the nation, rests in peace, where no one will disturb him. Free to fade away under the layers of time.
Portugal 🇵🇹. The most epic little country on the planet.
Ahh D.Afoso Henriques that's my king 💪💪💪

Excellent learning experience! Respectfully...
Fantastic! More from the Templar’s in Portugal. Portugal is the “Templar Nation”
M Ra They’ve been in Portugal since 1128. Educated our first king, Alfonso I and with him participated in the “Reconquista”.
In return, they were given 1/3 of the Portuguese total territory and the city of Tomar became their headquarters.
When they returned to Portugal after being prosecuted in France in the 14th century, they financed the Portuguese “Age of Discovery” with not only money but knowledge (ship building techniques, Star-oriented navigation they had learned from the Muslims, etc)
They made all the difference
@@BrunoDeMarques Não, não educaram. Afonso Henriques foi educado por Egas Moniz e pelo Arcebispo de Braga. O terço do territorio que foi entregue aos templarios era essencialmente territorio de fronteira (nessa altura a nossa fronteira era no Tejo) e que lhes foi entregue para propósitos de defesa. Esse territorio nunca foi entregue para pagar a "educação" dele
Sergio Silva De facto. A minha ideia não era que o território era em troca da educação. E quando refiro educação, refiro que terão tido influência na sua educação “bélica”, até porque se diz que D. AH os considerava como irmãos (de armas, certamente)
E o território foi de fato dado na condição de o defenderem, para proveito do próprio ...
Outro tema: É interessante que não se refira a influência dos Templários na tomada de Lisboa especificamente. Apenas de Cruzados Ingleses, Normandos, Alemães (de Colónia) e Países Baixos. O Sérgio tem alguma informação sobre isto?
@@BrunoDeMarques Compreendo. Peço desculpa pelo meu lapso mas ao ler o seu comentario fiquei com essa impressão.
No entanto continuo a manter a minha posição. A educação bélica de que estávamos a falar foi da responsabilidade de Egas Moniz e em todas as fontes que li até hoje nunca foi mencionada nenhuma participação templaria na educação de Afonso Henriques.
Relativamente aos companheiros de armas de Afonso Henriques o único templario que foi um dos companheiros mais próximos de Afonso Henriques foi Gualdim Paes (que mais tarde viria a ser Grão Mestre da ordem, fundador da cidade de Tomar e que também foi responsável pela construção de muitos castelos na fronteira do rio Tejo).
Relativamente a participação concreta da ordem na conquista de Lisboa tem toda razão quando diz que a participação templaria nunca foi muito mencionada. A única informação que tenho foi que Gualdim Paes participou no cerco de Lisboa mas não sei mais nada sobre o restante contingente templario. Penso que é uma tema interessante que você trouxe para a conversa e no futuro irei investigar mais sobre isso.
Sergio Silva Sergio Silva muito obrigado. Tenho ideia que Gualdim de Pais foi uma figura próxima de AH na sua infância e depois um dos seus “Paladinos” na reconquista. É que de facto os Templários, à partida, teriam de estar envolvidos na tomada de Lisboa mas nada se sabe
Recomendo o livro “First Templar Nation” do Freddy Silva.
Make Alfonso Great Again! Portugal rocks!! 🇵🇹

Really enjoyed this, one of your best videos to date, thank you
I didn't know our first king was a templar. Now suddenly all of our history makes sense now. Cruz Cristão
Thank you for posting this video. I'm Brazilian and it's really hard, if not impossible, to get any material on Portugal history. The videos in my language are bad, the few books around that were around on Portugal history are very old and in my country they stopped ,- like many other hugely relevant books - ,being printed decades ago and we are left in the void of history. The books you recommend are also impossible for me to get, unless they were available on PDF
Thank you for posting this comment. I love Portugal and its history, and yes, it is tough to find good source material on Portugal. I'm always on the look out for good books that deal with Portugal.
@@RealCrusadesHistory God bless you for your work, sir
Thanks for making this ✠
The order of Christ was definitely a kingdom within a kingdom, the mystery schools were definitely entrenched in Portugal and the fact that Portugal exists to this day speaks volumes.
Many countries started as an idea in the mind of a secret-ish group of people. The USA too was devised by a few.
Thanks! Best regards from Portugal! ❤🇵🇹
Thank you too!
May you please do a video for the order of Santiago ! Great vids always watching you new stuff .
Aleluia! Finally someone gets it right! The man said Afonso! In portuguese OK!! Well done that means a lot.
Thank you!

@@josersleal O que interessa é como ele escrevia o seu nome depois de se tornar rei.
Small country, mighty nation🇵🇹❤️
Great content on the Crusade in Iberia. I haven't read of good books about this. I mostly only know about the Crusades in the Holy Land. Anybody have any book recommendations?
Endless books and (multi-platform) content on the Reconquista. Begin your search by researching the Battle of Covadonga and the Visigothic hero Don Pelayo.
@@thebrocialist8300 Thanks for the tip.
Check this video's references at the end.
Obrigado !!!
Awesome video.
MORE...More...More... BRAVO.

Read the book called First Templar Nation ...
Cool. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.
Reconquista e o que precisamos outra vez de uma invasão dissimulada! Orgulho de ser Portugues do Porto e familia do Minho.

Afonso Henrique was the son of count D.Henrique of Burgundy , a personal friend ( and some even say vassal ) of Godofredo of Bouillon, the 1st king of Jerusalem, his father went to Jerusalem twice, and even before the brought some relics Godofredo gave him, and even before the knits Templar were officially formed by Hugo de Payens, they were "given" lands at Condado Portucalense which would be soon the birthplace of Portugal, unfortunately, his father died at 53 while he was still 7 years old, but because his tutors were templars, he followed his father plan at the age of 14, rebelling against his mother side of the family, the king of Leon, so Portugal was a nation formed by templars for the templars, and long after they were disbanded all over the world, they stayed here under a different name at the city of Tomar
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and history.
Yeah, the Order of Christ.
@@andreydragomirov8559 and the Pope was convinced we had disposed of the Templars, he should have known better, it's not by chance that in Italy, they call people that evade paying fees and taxes "portuguesi"...lol...everybody paid a fee to visit the Pope , safe us....ahahahahaha
@@JoaoMariaNunes , cool. I didn't know that.
@@andreydragomirov8559 I learned that one in Italy, but the person didn't knew the reason, I found out later by reading...
there is a story of a soldier/crusader who gave his life to maintain to gate for lisbon open. they were closing and he throed himself below them, denying them to fully close and allowing his fellow soldier to open it
Excellent !
Interesting that a war into Muslm Iberian territory was waged simultaneously during the Second Crusade and in conjunction with it as well. Really reminds you how far reaching the Crusades are.
“Reconquest of Lisbon” not conquest
Thank You
In a World made of revolutionary-history, false... and targeting All Ocidental Culture to destroy it...
Is Great to see you are a Real Ocidental my friend.
Portugal was a Republican-Monarchy formed with the Templairs and our King.
Truth.
You are Real.
Real History Study.
God Bless You for your Love for finding our past..
To understand our Spirit
Thank God I'm Portuguese!!!
That's right 💪
Loved it thank you!
Correction: not the usual musical background. The other song that was played
"For the sin is not in fighting the war, but in fighting for the sake of booty!"
Truer words have never been spoken
Only one thing..
Afonso ruled with the Portugal's Templairs.
In a way that they really understood each other.. because even.. there were the same.. Portugal's Kings were all iniciated in the Order..
Afonso had the Byzantine Roots of hes father..
The Templairs were created in Jerusalem..
But only after they fought together in Ourique..
And created Portugal
Bernardo de Claraval helped introduce the Order in the Catholic Church... only after
What I'm trying to say..
Is that the Portugal's King's
Where iniciated in the Order..
So all the contact with the Catholic Church
Was really more burocratic then the Real Thing
More than 10.000 men.. dont go to sail far away to just then decide for the battle..
Great Catholic 💪💪💪
Thank you, a fantastic description of that time environment! You are in a good track, maybe one day someone will understand the true importance of the city of Braga, capital of Minho province, where Portugal bornt, where for the first time the Templars arrived in Portugal, how they were offered huge fortunes, in lands, money, houses, titles, farms and priviledges, after all, Braga has 2.000 years old, it was the capital of the ancient Celts Bracarae, capital of the Roman Gallaecea province and capital of the Germanics Swabians, also where Sir Gualdim de Payns had his home, where theres still exists a non explored tunnel between his house, the millennial Braga cathedral and the Populum, but the Treasure of the Braga Sé, it is the most hidden secret of Portugal! The three knights Templar from Burgundy who came to Minho and build Portugal, strangely their families are the original Templars blood!
I came here for conquest of Santarém, but I seem to be late for it. I'll watch the sequel, then.
And sir I have a question becoz I'm student I just want to know these answers
Is king baldwin IV had a wife?
Is it true BALIAN of ibelen is the son of Godfrey? (Source of Kingdom of heaven)
Why Reynald de chatillon wants a war between Muslim and Christian
Crismark Flores No ,baldwin the 4th was a leper ,so he most definitely would NOT be given a wife. Kingdom of Heaven movie is not historically accurate .Take anything you see in that movie with a pinch of salt.
What is the name of the final song?
Just found out he's one of my great grandfathers. Had know clue of Portuguese blood
Sir good day I just want to suggest you that if it's just okayy.. to u sir that can u make a little animation fight check out the Kings and general channel. As me as a student I can easily understand the history... It's just my opinion and suggestion sir.. but I still love ur videos becoz it's base in true history story
Afonso I was truly the founder of Portugal, analogous to George Washington for America.
So, the English alliance with Portugal goes all the way back to this time.
This was indeed one of the important part in the alliance's history and birth. But of course just this wouldn't be nearly enough.
Afonso I and his wife Mafalda de Savoie are my 26th great grandparents

Are the Moors the reason morocoo is named morocoo?
Kind of it began in the days of the Roman Empire when parts of Morocco was conquered by Rome and the conquered province was called Mauritania which in time became Morocco during the Moslem conquest.
@@carterbentonjr399 but "Morocco" is a European word, because Moroccans themselves call their country Maghreb
Europe is a mix of Europeans inside each country.
