Well folks this is the compilation of the Final Chapter of the Reconquista series! This took a year of research / reading / writing / video editing / narrating etc to make. I happy with how this came out. Enjoy people!
And downloaded for my next flight overseas. Nothing quite makes the time go by like a full compilation of these episodes. I never get tired of watching them, it's become a part of my flight experience now.

Great idea, I find reading difficult in planes because It's just too uncomfortable and watching movies well.....when you least expect it there is a questionable scene in the movie in confines of a small space, I'm old school and find it a bit embarrasng. I will have to start downloading documentaries as I am already obssesed with them anyways. Thanks for the idea!!!
@@moonlover2022 Spain treated its subject's in Mexico like its subject's in Cádiz. Something unheard off in any other empire. (For example Britain did not treat equaly its people in Manchester to its people in Egypt)
Wonderfully composed, I binged it all at once. There wasn't a dull part, and I'm glad to have creators like you making such detailed videos about periods that maybe aren't as well-known. Thank you.
It definitely is, or more accurately, was. What it's known for now isn't exactly pretty, and they're still trying to figure out how to culturally recover from their dictatorship. Why it's taking so long I can't really talk about without being accused of making ethnic jokes. Then again, it took them like 400 years to figure out that they were literally being erased, so... In all seriousness though? From the time they decided to stick up for themselves and up until their Armada got yeeted they were absolutely not to be screwed with in any capacity, lest you decided to play games with a major power known for having copious amounts of funding. They had a few hundred years of kicking ass, and it pretty much seems to be over. Maybe in the big picture they'll rise again but it won't be by the time any of our grandchildren are signing up for retirement programs.
Some beautiful Jews and Moors architectures still standing, they've done well to bury their bloodlust antisemitism during the time of Isabella and Ferdinand Inquisition, with one of the head Inquisitor being Cardinal Mendoza.
My littles is a fierce red headed young lady. This was maybe the 5th time I watched this one. So Good! I write because This was the first time I watched your documentary with her. She feels invincible. Good little Visigoth she is.
These types of videos possess the potential to effectively supplant or complement history lessons in educational settings. The abundance of information presented alongside captivating visuals imbues the learning process with heightened vividity and fascination
What is often overlooked : Isabella was The FIRST woman to rule a major, Christian, European country….And she paved the way for Mary & Elizabeth I of England (who came almost a CENTURY later)…. Indeed, it has been said that had it not been for the excellent example of Isabella (proving that a “mere woman” could competently rule a major kingdom) there might never have been the Virgin Queen….
Her emphasis of giving her own female children an excellent education also became a trend - it showed in the strength of her daughter Katherine of Aragon in the English court, it paved the way for Maria of Austria and Catherine d’ Medici
Congratulations on a very fine presentation. I never knew that Isabella was an admirer of Joan of Arc. Isabella was, more than any other one person, responsible for the great Spanish expansion, which has had lasting effect on much of the world. It is interesting how some waves of conquest had minimal lasting effect. The descendants of the great Mongol conquerors ended up converting to Islam or being swallowed up by Chinese culture. Alexander's conquest, though brief politically, had a more lasting effect through suffusion of Greek literature and culture. The Spanish conquest has had a permanent effect through introduction of the Catholic faith, the Spanish language and an overall unifying culture. Today Mexico and Chile are far more similar than, say, Nigeria and South Africa. I regard Isabella as probably the greatest political figure in world history.

Wow! Just wow! What an exciting, historically correct, and informative documentary! Stunningly beautiful. My 4 children, my Andorran mother, and husband loved this enthralling documentary! I am sparked to learn more about Queen Isabella. A very big thanks to Flash Point! 🙏
I normally do not sit for documentaries for more than an hour at a shot. I have to get up, stretch, fidget, whatever. Yours do not make me do that. I get that the animation is not Hollywood. But you get your point across very clearly through the historically accurate portrayals and maps. It brings it to life in another way and it's fascinating. Thank you so much.
I enjoyed everything about this: the art, the music, the narration, and especially the clear and concise script that brought this late medieval time here into my living room. Something that was most helpful to me was that mamy of the battles were illustrated. What could have been a mere word salad became instead a real world event. Battle plans and strategies were made understandable, especially when terrains were included. And the magnificent art helped everything along. All of this is not a simple thing to do. I appreciate the enormous amount of work behind it all. THANK YOU!
Not only is this expertly edited , written and narrated - the music has to be THE most beautiful and fitting music ive "seen" in ANY documentary on spanish history EVER! From the first second that magically spanish guitar had me hooked. ❤ I came for the based historical topic 😏, but rewatched it 2 times cause of that magical music. 🤗
Hey thanks for this - I take a lot of time to get music that I think will set the mood and tone for the narrative - happy that you liked how it came together
Really happy you liked my video! I’d love to take my son to see all the cities you mentioned as well - but would also love to see Seville - perhaps when he’s a bit older.
Finished your history of Iberia documentary series. You have my utmost thanks, such a long history done in a most entertaining way, told as a story. This is a nice way to bleed into the discovery series. From the overview of the Reconquista to the biography of one the most influential figures in medieval and modern history. These few characters given the most screen time throughout. Been researching in antiquity and the medieval periods for years now, yet still it is difficult for me to conceptualize the interconnectivity of so many incredible things going on in the same spans of time. Timur, Mehmed, Lancaster, Joan, Isabella herself. So many go through what to them is the most important thing in the world. You have my thanks, I've been neglecting my Spanish history, looked well into the history of the new world, nice go dig into the societal and economics that made such an event possible. Truly a service to the world
Wow Troy - thank you for such an awesome comment. This history is truly amazing and the story basically tells itself. Really happy that you enjoyed this so much. Now time to go into the age of discovery :)
One note: Columbus had approached the royal couple well before 1492; he asked three times between 1482 and 1492, and Isabella was more supportive of his plan than Ferdinand. Columbus was told to wait until the war with Granada was over, hence why both the conquest of Granda and the discovery of America dates coincide.
Holy WOW! I just binged this marvelous story in one sitting! All I knew about Queen Isabel La Católica was that she had funded Columbus' incursion into the Americas. I had NO idea she had been such an devastating force or nature monarch. Just wow. How is it even possible we don't have a million movies and series about her?? Thank you so much for bringing this fascinating figure to life! (Now I have to go learn everything I can about Spanish monarchies as it so unusual how they kept naming female daughters as heirs?!!🙆♀)
Really happy that you liked my video! Can't believe you watched this in one sitting. Isabella was definitely a force to be reckoned with. She was a leader in a category of her own. She united Castile and Aragon, Completed the Reconquista, and set Columbus on his way. Few leaders in history have done so much that each accomplishment can have its own book - She reminds me of the Solvay Conference of 1927 - in that one picture your have 19 Nobel laureates - Plank, Bohr, Einstein, etc - but only one in that picture won the Nobel Prize twice - in fact the only human in history to win the Nobel Prize twice (truly a category of their own) - Madam Curie - another total bad ass.
There was a very good television series "Isabel" produced in Spain several years ago that covers the history of her life fairly well and is very entertaining to watch.
She is legendary and many movies and series have been done about her. I think probably the USA is the only one that has not heard from her in the west.
@FlashPointHx During the pandemic, I was able to find some episodes for Season One with English captions, but I don't know what's readily available now. It was really good and pretty close to the historical record.
Well here I am in a small fisherman’s cottage with a long garden in Meze on the via Domitia … south of France , not too far from Spain. This is brilliant . It fills a huge hole in my education . Thank you .
This was Beautiful, Incredibly interesting, and SO well done! I’ve been watching every night just to relax and unwind 😂 Thank you for making something so wonderful! Maybe next tell us about Tudor history? I would be SO excited!
These series are truly stellar, top-notch content, and I am grateful to be able to watch it. Thanks for all the effort, I can hardly imagine how much time and energy making all this took!

The fact Constantinople fell is insane to me. If they’d had even minimal support they could have held it easily. Great documentary. This channel is superb. 😊
I mean europeans did help byzantines in several cases and in all those cases, byzantines were cunning and made it so obvious they were using the european crusaders for their own ends, never grateful. So why would they do it again? Byzantine strategy has long been playing enemies and allies againts each other only to betray them all and get everything. They also used turkic pechenegs againts turkic oghuz(ancestors of ottomans) for decades starting in around 1050. Pechenegs later realized it and betrayed them in a critical moment in a battle joining forces with oghuz tribes and this mid battle changing of sides was a big factor for other turks to flood asia minor and settle
Probably no one expected a newly settled clan to devastate the eastern roman empire so quickly. I mean empire vs tribe and they lost it. You wouldnt think goliath needed help from his teammates until he was on the ground dying with a slingshot to the head.
Isabella of Castile was probably one of the greatest Spanish queens not to mention Ferdinand II of Aragon was not only a loyal and devout husband but a great king as well. There is a reason why these two are reconized as the greatest royal couple in Spanish history.
I am an Aragon from America and have read extensively about Spain and my namesake yet this documentary ties all characters together with such knowledgeable ease. Thank You for your education on this historical country.
MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES by Dr. Zakir Naik 1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya: A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76: "There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe: "What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds". B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225: "It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands." C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources): "Ananda said to the Blessed One, "Who shall teach us when thou art gone?" And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.' Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?' The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'." (i) The Sanskrit word "Maitreya" or its equivalent in Pali "Metteyya" means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is "Rahmat". In Surah Al-Anbiya: "We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures." [Al-Qur'an 21:107] Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is "Maitri". (ii) The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân no less than 409 times. (iii) Every chapter of the Glorious Qur'ân, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'. (iv) The Word Muhammad is also spelt as 'Mahamet' or 'Mahomet' and in various other ways in different languages. The word 'Maho' or 'Maha' in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and 'Metta' means mercy. Therefore 'Mahomet' means 'Great Mercy'. 2. Buddha's doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric: According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32: "I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back". Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'ân was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine 3. Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas: According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36: "Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, "Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me"." The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life. i) Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet's life was in great danger. ii) Even during the battle of Hunain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet. Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him. 4. Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha: According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214: "The Blessed one said, "There are two occasions on which a Tathagata's appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.' " According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha. i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time. ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright iii) A Buddha dies a natural death. iv) He dies at night-time. v) He looks exceedingly bright before his death. vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth. i) Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time. According to Surah Dukhan: "By the books that makes thing clear ? We sent it down during a blessed night." [Al-Qur'ân 44:2-3] According to Surah Al-Qadar: "We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power." [Al-Qur'ân 97:1] ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light. iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death. iv) According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp. v) According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death. vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth. 5. Buddhas are only Preachers: According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67: "The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers." The Qur'ân says in Surah Ghashiya: "Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs." [Al-Qur'ân 88:21-22] 6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha: According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151: "The promised one will be: i) Compassionate for the whole creation ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker iii) The most successful in the world. The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be: i) Truthful ii) Self-respecting iii) Gentle and noble iv) Not proud v) As a king to creatures vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".
for those people who want to make a historic tour to Spain you can visit some places linked with Isabel I de Castilla, since the Monasterio de Guadalupe (Caceres), Alcazar de Segovia, Catedral de Granada and the house of birth and childhood of her in Madrigal de las Altas Torres (Ávila)...
@@FlashPointHx i have been living years ago in Seville and Cordoba... if you want to visit all of them, try to not go on summer months... because you can suffer 45°C or more...
That was very well done. Looking forward to exploring your other content. Big shout out for including the Transformers transform sound effect from the '80s cartoon 😂
@@FlashPointHx you can see the commitment and dedication! Thank you so V much for all your hard work :) Isabella was cool & bad ass, but she did unleash the Inquisition and Columbus on the rest of the world, so....
@@elenivargis126the Spanish Inquisition was the most humanitarian amongst all the European inquisitions at the time. Whilst no more than a thousand, tens of thousands were being burnt for witchcraft and without trial in Protestant lands today Germany and England.
Isabella of Castille was the real Joan of Arc, the real crusader, designed by God. This first real feminist did not cast aside a husband's role but completed his duty as a liberator and a conqueror.
@@FlashPointHx Thanks. I've heard of name Isabella and Ferdinand several times before but this is the first time I delved into their history. And I was amazed at how colourful and grand their fate intertwined to accomplish things only their union can bring to fruition. The Muslims didn't see this coming. Your video is truly a window into that history, well narrated together with the historical quotes. I bookmarked it when I can't finish watching it in one sitting.
2 years ago I visited Seville. Plaza de Espana is lined by tiles picturing key historical events for each region of Spain. Thanks to your series on Reconquista I could describe the events of a good half of these tiles to my uncle/travel companion. ❤
@@FlashPointHx ahah,he was astonished by my knowledge about Spanish Medieval history! In Place de Espana most of the events you spoke of are represented: Pelayo and the battle of Covadonga,El Cid forcing Alfonso VI to swear he didn't kill his brother, queen Berenguela of Castile and the deeds of her son ,king Ferdinand III, the conquest of Valencia by king Jaime , the deeds of the reyes Catolicos...🥰
@@FlashPointHx so true! My stay in Seville was part of an 11-day trip in Andalusia ( Cordoba,Seville,Malaga,Ronda,Granada) and since I went there after watching your series I visited the great Mosque of Cordoba ,Granada and Seville with totally different eyes compared to what would have been if I had not known about the Umayad Caliphate of Cordoba, and the kings of Castile and Aragon. This year I and my uncle are going to visit Castile and Leon( Burgos, Toledo, Valladolid, Oviedo, Salamanca) , and since I have a basic knowledge of the history of the kingdom of Castile from your series,I bet it will be fun 🥰. We plan to visit the whole Spain little by little.
@@Daughterofminerva it’s such an amazing country - love the vibe if the people. Madrid itself is just amazing. That sounds like an amazing itinerary. I’ve never been in the northern portion of the country. I’ve read that Basque Country has the most number of 3 star Michelin rated restaurants in one area. Have fun!
People always talk about the “Hundred Years’ War” but they never mention the 700 years reconquista that the Iberian Christians fought against their Muslim occupiers. Thank you.
@@savagedarksider2147 Oh yeah I agree - Elizabeth was Protestant and Isabella Catholic. In fact Elizabeth was at the helm when the Spanish Armada was defeated. They were both extremely intelligent and fierce characters - they would have destroyed each other in all out war

@@samkohen4589 La inquisición Española no fue peor que la Inglesa o la Francesa. Quizás fue da las más blandas. Pero en el mundo anglosajón se le quiso poner como algo terrorífico y siniestro. Recuerdo que los Ingleses quemaban a la gente por supuestas brujas , en España eso no ocurría, no se creía en la brujería. Quizá esa sería otra historia para contar.

@@di3486unfortunately you learn Spanish history as told by its former enemies which is the black legend. Good inocent native Indians destroyed by the malicious Spaniards.
@@yalonyun2785 Not at all. We consider Isabel the mother of our continent. We have an anthem to celebrate Oct 12. I grew up hearing great things about Colon and Queen Isabel I. Also, we know the history of tribes like the Caribes, that would hunt down other tribes and sell them as slaves. The black legend is not taught at schools, it is just left wing propaganda.
After all these centuries of reconquest and tireless attempts, as soon as they finished controlling the entire peninsula again, after 8 centuries, the Spanish found America, circumnavigated the Earth and expanded, forming the first global empire in history and with it the beginning of globalization. what a comeback.

" According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha. i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time. ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright iii) A Buddha dies a natural death. iv) He dies at night-time. v) He looks exceedingly bright before his death. vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth. i) Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time. According to Surah Dukhan: "By the books that makes thing clear ? We sent it down during a blessed night." [Al-Qur'ân 44:2-3] According to Surah Al-Qadar: "We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power." [Al-Qur'ân 97:1] ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light. iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death. iv) According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp. v) According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death. vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth. 5. Buddhas are only Preachers: According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67: "The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers." The Qur'ân says in Surah Ghashiya: "Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs." [Al-Qur'ân 88:21-22] 6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha: According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151: "The promised one will be: i) Compassionate for the whole creation ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker iii) The most successful in the world. The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be: i) Truthful ii) Self-respecting iii) Gentle and noble iv) Not proud v) As a king to creatures vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".
MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES by Dr. Zakir Naik 1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya: A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76: "There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe: "What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds". B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225: "It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands." C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources): "Ananda said to the Blessed One, "Who shall teach us when thou art gone?" And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.' Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?' The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'." (i) The Sanskrit word "Maitreya" or its equivalent in Pali "Metteyya" means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is "Rahmat". In Surah Al-Anbiya: "We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures." [Al-Qur'an 21:107] Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is "Maitri". (ii) The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân no less than 409 times. (iii) Every chapter of the Glorious Qur'ân, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'. (iv) The Word Muhammad is also spelt as 'Mahamet' or 'Mahomet' and in various other ways in different languages. The word 'Maho' or 'Maha' in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and 'Metta' means mercy. Therefore 'Mahomet' means 'Great Mercy'. 2. Buddha's doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric: According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32: "I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back". Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'ân was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine 3. Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas: According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36: "Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, "Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me"." The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life. i) Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet's life was in great danger. ii) Even during the battle of Hunain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet.

Great video! Congratulations and thank you so much, it is really interesting! The maps are so well designed! I find only a small mistake, the music is not correct, it is modern, it is not typical of Castile but from Andalusia and well, in 4:45 it is actually the Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven ☺ arranged for guitar and with a bit of flamenco rhythms !! It is a bit strange, like listening Rap while talking about John Adams. I’d rather suggest some recording of Jordi Savall, like Las Cantigas de Alfonso X El Sabio or some Moorish music, which were both played about that time in Spain.
If I had to meet any queen from the middle ages I would be happy to meet Isabella. She kicked Muslim ass but she had extreme sympathy and kindness for helpless Christians. You have to love a Lady like that and really I am not aware of many queens who have even half her reputation for compassion. Please tell me if there are any better. I love looking at the chains on the Church wall, it was such a stunning move, an incredible statement to put them there. Respect.
That "flamenquito" music gives us not the ambience of those times, but of a "flamenco" party for "guiris" (foreigners) somewhere on the Mediterranean coast (nothing to do with Castile) in the 80's.
It is a shame that every time they play music, for a concert in Spain they play flamenco. I can understand that it is what is best known, but the "Folk-traditional" music that is most in contact with the period recounted is the one that It remains in the northern half of Spain and has nothing to do with flamenco and everything to do with folk music from the rest of the European Atlantic Arc. Of course, forget the Sephardic musical legacy
Great video, very educational. I LOVE your narration. Just one tiny thing, but seeing Salamanca on the map as part of Extremadura and not León was a bit painful to watch 🥲
Well folks this is the compilation of the Final Chapter of the Reconquista series! This took a year of research / reading / writing / video editing / narrating etc to make. I happy with how this came out. Enjoy people!

This is great. Spainsh history is so underated . Works like this puts it where it belongs. Thank you guy/s

Thank you so much Lukas - this comment was really awesome. Happy that you liked this
Spain is so beautiful and very amazing with its history. I feel like Spain deserves to be recognized throughout the world.
It already is.
It definitely is, or more accurately, was. What it's known for now isn't exactly pretty, and they're still trying to figure out how to culturally recover from their dictatorship. Why it's taking so long I can't really talk about without being accused of making ethnic jokes. Then again, it took them like 400 years to figure out that they were literally being erased, so...
In all seriousness though? From the time they decided to stick up for themselves and up until their Armada got yeeted they were absolutely not to be screwed with in any capacity, lest you decided to play games with a major power known for having copious amounts of funding. They had a few hundred years of kicking ass, and it pretty much seems to be over.
Maybe in the big picture they'll rise again but it won't be by the time any of our grandchildren are signing up for retirement programs.
Some beautiful Jews and Moors architectures still standing, they've done well to bury their bloodlust antisemitism during the time of Isabella and Ferdinand Inquisition, with one of the head Inquisitor being Cardinal Mendoza.

My littles is a fierce red headed young lady. This was maybe the 5th time I watched this one. So Good! I write because This was the first time I watched your documentary with her. She feels invincible. Good little Visigoth she is.
These types of videos possess the potential to effectively supplant or complement history lessons in educational settings. The abundance of information presented alongside captivating visuals imbues the learning process with heightened vividity and fascination
I’m sorry to say it but there is no interest in our educational systems for the teaching of real historical facts.
Thank you for spending your time researching and producing these spectacular documentaries!
What is often overlooked : Isabella was The FIRST woman to rule a major, Christian, European country….And she paved the way for Mary & Elizabeth I of England (who came almost a CENTURY later)….
Indeed, it has been said that had it not been for the excellent example of Isabella (proving that a “mere woman” could competently rule a major kingdom) there might never have been the Virgin Queen….
Her emphasis of giving her own female children an excellent education also became a trend - it showed in the strength of her daughter Katherine of Aragon in the English court, it paved the way for Maria of Austria and Catherine d’ Medici
Well Mary I was Queen Isabella's granddaughter. Mary learned from her formidable Mom Katherine of Aragon who learned from her Mom, Queen Isabella.
Queen Isabel was also the inspiration for the chess piece "Queen". Originally it was a "Vicar" and it can only move one square a time.
@@FlashPointHx Isabella was inspired by an older medieval spanish queen of leon, Urraca.
@@muirgirl yeah - powerful queen too - I covered her in a prior video
Great video! Fantastic history! Spain was amazing. Unmatched global influencer.
Congratulations on a very fine presentation. I never knew that Isabella was an admirer of Joan of Arc. Isabella was, more than any other one person, responsible for the great Spanish expansion, which has had lasting effect on much of the world. It is interesting how some waves of conquest had minimal lasting effect. The descendants of the great Mongol conquerors ended up converting to Islam or being swallowed up by Chinese culture. Alexander's conquest, though brief politically, had a more lasting effect through suffusion of Greek literature and culture. The Spanish conquest has had a permanent effect through introduction of the Catholic faith, the Spanish language and an overall unifying culture. Today Mexico and Chile are far more similar than, say, Nigeria and South Africa. I regard Isabella as probably the greatest political figure in world history.

@@FlashPointHx Hypes Ci BRAVA🇵🇹🇵🇲🐬
I enjoyed everything about this: the art, the music, the narration, and especially the clear and concise script that brought this late medieval time here into my living room.
Something that was most helpful to me was that mamy of the battles were illustrated. What could have been a mere word salad became instead a real world event. Battle plans and strategies were made understandable, especially when terrains were included. And the magnificent art helped everything along.
All of this is not a simple thing to do. I appreciate the enormous amount of work behind it all. THANK YOU!
Not only is this expertly edited , written and narrated - the music has to be THE most beautiful and fitting music ive "seen" in ANY documentary on spanish history EVER!
From the first second that magically spanish guitar had me hooked. ❤

Finished your history of Iberia documentary series. You have my utmost thanks, such a long history done in a most entertaining way, told as a story. This is a nice way to bleed into the discovery series. From the overview of the Reconquista to the biography of one the most influential figures in medieval and modern history. These few characters given the most screen time throughout. Been researching in antiquity and the medieval periods for years now, yet still it is difficult for me to conceptualize the interconnectivity of so many incredible things going on in the same spans of time. Timur, Mehmed, Lancaster, Joan, Isabella herself. So many go through what to them is the most important thing in the world.
You have my thanks, I've been neglecting my Spanish history, looked well into the history of the new world, nice go dig into the societal and economics that made such an event possible. Truly a service to the world
Wow Troy - thank you for such an awesome comment. This history is truly amazing and the story basically tells itself. Really happy that you enjoyed this so much. Now time to go into the age of discovery :)
This is such an amazing production. Ive learned so much for an upcoming trip to Spain.
Nice! I hope it enhances your experience in Spain - one of my favorite countries !
One note: Columbus had approached the royal couple well before 1492; he asked three times between 1482 and 1492, and Isabella was more supportive of his plan than Ferdinand. Columbus was told to wait until the war with Granada was over, hence why both the conquest of Granda and the discovery of America dates coincide.
Holy WOW! I just binged this marvelous story in one sitting! All I knew about Queen Isabel La Católica was that she had funded Columbus' incursion into the Americas. I had NO idea she had been such an devastating force or nature monarch. Just wow. How is it even possible we don't have a million movies and series about her?? Thank you so much for bringing this fascinating figure to life! (Now I have to go learn everything I can about Spanish monarchies as it so unusual how they kept naming female daughters as heirs?!!🙆♀)
Really happy that you liked my video! Can't believe you watched this in one sitting. Isabella was definitely a force to be reckoned with. She was a leader in a category of her own. She united Castile and Aragon, Completed the Reconquista, and set Columbus on his way. Few leaders in history have done so much that each accomplishment can have its own book - She reminds me of the Solvay Conference of 1927 - in that one picture your have 19 Nobel laureates - Plank, Bohr, Einstein, etc - but only one in that picture won the Nobel Prize twice - in fact the only human in history to win the Nobel Prize twice (truly a category of their own) - Madam Curie - another total bad ass.
There was a very good television series "Isabel" produced in Spain several years ago that covers the history of her life fairly well and is very entertaining to watch.

@@hocinelahlah5379he allowed two days of pillage wym ? He only stop it the day after
I mean europeans did help byzantines in several cases and in all those cases, byzantines were cunning and made it so obvious they were using the european crusaders for their own ends, never grateful. So why would they do it again? Byzantine strategy has long been playing enemies and allies againts each other only to betray them all and get everything. They also used turkic pechenegs againts turkic oghuz(ancestors of ottomans) for decades starting in around 1050. Pechenegs later realized it and betrayed them in a critical moment in a battle joining forces with oghuz tribes and this mid battle changing of sides was a big factor for other turks to flood asia minor and settle
They would have lost it eventually as there was much more consistency in Turkish determination to take it than in European determination to keep it.
Probably no one expected a newly settled clan to devastate the eastern roman empire so quickly. I mean empire vs tribe and they lost it. You wouldnt think goliath needed help from his teammates until he was on the ground dying with a slingshot to the head.

Isabella of Castile was probably one of the greatest Spanish queens not to mention Ferdinand II of Aragon was not only a loyal and devout husband but a great king as well. There is a reason why these two are reconized as the greatest royal couple in Spanish history.
I agree - she was a force to be reckoned with

MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES
by Dr. Zakir Naik
1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya:
A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76: "There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:
"What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds".
B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225: "It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands."
C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources): "Ananda said to the Blessed One, "Who shall teach us when thou art gone?" And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.'
Ananda said, 'How shall we know him?'
The Blessed one replied, 'He will be known as Maitreya'."
(i) The Sanskrit word "Maitreya" or its equivalent in Pali "Metteyya" means loving, compassionate, merciful and benevolent. It also means kindness and friendliness, sympathy, etc. One Arabic word which is equivalent to all these words is "Rahmat". In Surah Al-Anbiya: "We sent thee not, but as a mercy for all creatures." [Al-Qur'an 21:107]
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was called the merciful, which is "Maitri".
(ii) The words Mercy and Merciful are mentioned in the Holy Qur'ân no less than 409 times.
(iii) Every chapter of the Glorious Qur'ân, except Chapter 9, i.e. Surah Taubah begins with the beautiful formula, 'Bismillah Hir-Rahman Nir-Rahim', which means 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful'.
(iv) The Word Muhammad is also spelt as 'Mahamet' or 'Mahomet' and in various other ways in different languages. The word 'Maho' or 'Maha' in Pali and Sanskrit mean Great and Illustrious and 'Metta' means mercy. Therefore 'Mahomet' means 'Great Mercy'.
2. Buddha's doctrine was Esoteric and Exoteric:
According to Sacred Books of the East, volume 11, pg. 36 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta chapter 2 verse 32:
"I have preached the truth without making any distinction between exoteric and esoteric doctrine, for in respect of truths, Ananda, the Tathagata has no such thing as the closed fist of a teacher, who keeps something back".
Muhammad (pbuh) on the commandment of Almighty God delivered the message and doctrine without making any distinction between esoteric and exoteric. The Qur'ân was recited in public in the days of the Prophet and is being done so till date. The Prophet had strictly forbidden the Muslims from hiding the doctrine
3. Devoted Servitors of the Buddhas:
According to Sacred Books of the East volume 11 pg. 97 Maha-Parinibbana Sutta Chapter 5 verse 36: "Then the Blessed one addressed the brethren, and said, "Whosoever, brethren have been Arahat-Buddhas through the long ages of the past, they were servitors just as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me. And whosoever brethren shall be the Arahat-Buddhas of the future, there shall be servitors as devoted to those Blessed ones as Ananda has been to me"."
The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life.
i) Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet's life was in great danger.
ii) Even during the battle of Hunain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet.
Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him.
4. Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha:
According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214:
"The Blessed one said, "There are two occasions on which a Tathagata's appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.' "
According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha.
i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time.
ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright
iii) A Buddha dies a natural death.
iv) He dies at night-time.
v) He looks exceedingly bright before his death.
vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth.
i) Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time.
According to Surah Dukhan: "By the books that makes thing clear ? We sent it down during a blessed night." [Al-Qur'ân 44:2-3]
According to Surah Al-Qadar: "We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power." [Al-Qur'ân 97:1]
ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light.
iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death.
iv) According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp.
v) According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death.
vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth.
5. Buddhas are only Preachers:
According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67:
"The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers."
The Qur'ân says in Surah Ghashiya: "Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs." [Al-Qur'ân 88:21-22]
6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha:
According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151:
"The promised one will be:
i) Compassionate for the whole creation
ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker
iii) The most successful in the world.
The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be:
i) Truthful
ii) Self-respecting
iii) Gentle and noble
iv) Not proud
v) As a king to creatures
vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".
I love this guys voice, so calming
Thank you! That’s me!
Such a badass story, we need a series or movie about this
Ikr? They have a few movies / mini series on her in Spain and one series on Starz I believe
Wow. I really loved this video.
I'm a new subscriber.
This video really does deserve some kind of award.
Appreciate the comment and welcome here! This took me a year to make - happy with how it came out
THANKS FOR CORRECTLY NAMING THE PLACE WHERE ALL THIS HAPPENED, THANKS TO THE IBERIAN PEOPLE FOR CREATING THE MODERN WORLD AND THE USA ❤ SALUDOS
Superb. History podcasting at its best.
Thank you for all you do. I wish I had found you years ago. ❤❤
Hey Radcliff! I remember your prior comment - really happy that you liked my videos - appreciate it!
Seeing what john did to his own daughter, its no wonder Ferdinand was capable of locking away Joana
for those people who want to make a historic tour to Spain you can visit some places linked with Isabel I de Castilla, since the Monasterio de Guadalupe (Caceres), Alcazar de Segovia, Catedral de Granada and the house of birth and childhood of her in Madrigal de las Altas Torres (Ávila)...
I'm hoping to see Seville, Cordoba, and Granada
@@FlashPointHx Cádiz is very beautiful too... and Malaga the best beaches of the south are in Huelva and Cadiz
The Alhambra would be first for me❤❤❤
@@FlashPointHx i have been living years ago in Seville and Cordoba... if you want to visit all of them, try to not go on summer months... because you can suffer 45°C or more...
@@Aldebaran80 oh yeah - If I go its going to be in the Fall or spring
There are a bewildering number of Juans and Alfonsos in Iberian history
Don’t forget the Isabel’s and Ferdinand’s
That's because the Iberians would name their children after relatives, so a limited number of names would get repeated.
Amazing work!! greetings from Spain ❤
That was very well done. Looking forward to exploring your other content. Big shout out for including the Transformers transform sound effect from the '80s cartoon 😂
Much appreciated!
Top class historical documentaries you guys make !
Excellent as always! We missed you...
Really happy that you liked this - a year of work went into making all this
@@FlashPointHx you can see the commitment and dedication! Thank you so V much for all your hard work :) Isabella was cool & bad ass, but she did unleash the Inquisition and Columbus on the rest of the world, so....
@@elenivargis126the Spanish Inquisition was the most humanitarian amongst all the European inquisitions at the time. Whilst no more than a thousand, tens of thousands were being burnt for witchcraft and without trial in Protestant lands today Germany and England.
I'm writing a story that takes place within this time period, and you have no idea how much this video helps. Thank you, Flash Point History!
Happy to help - what kind of story?
@@FlashPointHx It's a horror novel. The inquisition of 1478 is a backdrop for the twisted tale unfolding in the foreground.
@@sloshed-rat fascinating - I wish you the best of luck with this!
@@FlashPointHx Thank you! Admittedly, I'm a very slow writer. But what I have so far is a story that I enjoy crafting.
@@sloshed-rat well this whole podcast / RUclips channel started off as a hobby for me - keep going
Excellent work. Many thanks.
Many thanks!
Probably the most influential woman in History. She was 50 Margaret Thatchers in one.
@garyallen8824 who is maggot THATCHER ????
Isabella of Castille was the real Joan of Arc, the real crusader, designed by God. This first real feminist did not cast aside a husband's role but completed his duty as a liberator and a conqueror.
Well said
@@FlashPointHx Thanks. I've heard of name Isabella and Ferdinand several times before but this is the first time I delved into their history. And I was amazed at how colourful and grand their fate intertwined to accomplish things only their union can bring to fruition. The Muslims didn't see this coming. Your video is truly a window into that history, well narrated together with the historical quotes. I bookmarked it when I can't finish watching it in one sitting.
This was the breathless look..I seen so far...just the panorama...tips of peaks.,so majestic... purity in the minds of camera...power
I take it you liked this video?
Wow what a story! Thanks for bringing back to life this intriguing queen 👍!
Glad you enjoyed it!
2 years ago I visited Seville. Plaza de Espana is lined by tiles picturing key historical events for each region of Spain. Thanks to your series on Reconquista I could describe the events of a good half of these tiles to my uncle/travel companion. ❤
This is awesome to hear - did your uncle think you were well versed in the history ?
@@FlashPointHx ahah,he was astonished by my knowledge about Spanish Medieval history! In Place de Espana most of the events you spoke of are represented: Pelayo and the battle of Covadonga,El Cid forcing Alfonso VI to swear he didn't kill his brother, queen Berenguela of Castile and the deeds of her son ,king Ferdinand III, the conquest of Valencia by king Jaime , the deeds of the reyes Catolicos...🥰
@@Daughterofminerva impressive ! I’ve always felt knowing the history of a place elevates the travel experience to an exalted level.
@@FlashPointHx so true! My stay in Seville was part of an 11-day trip in Andalusia ( Cordoba,Seville,Malaga,Ronda,Granada) and since I went there after watching your series I visited the great Mosque of Cordoba ,Granada and Seville with totally different eyes compared to what would have been if I had not known about the Umayad Caliphate of Cordoba, and the kings of Castile and Aragon. This year I and my uncle are going to visit Castile and Leon( Burgos, Toledo, Valladolid, Oviedo, Salamanca) , and since I have a basic knowledge of the history of the kingdom of Castile from your series,I bet it will be fun 🥰. We plan to visit the whole Spain little by little.
@@Daughterofminerva it’s such an amazing country - love the vibe if the people. Madrid itself is just amazing. That sounds like an amazing itinerary. I’ve never been in the northern portion of the country. I’ve read that Basque Country has the most number of 3 star Michelin rated restaurants in one area. Have fun!
The reconquista is the single greatest come back and a true testament to Christian faith
True - at one point they were hanging on by their fingernails
You need more education. Who stopped the Ottoman Empire? Or did you forget them?
@@mowthpeece1 we did aswell in Lepanto
Great way to understand Europa Universalis 4 👨🏻💻
Geese, constant warfare all the time. Very nice presentation of what it was like in Spain at that time
excelente trabajo de gran calidad, gracias
As i am always waiting for full Release and suffering from covid right now....perfect timing. I salut you nobel Sir🎉
Hey Ganja - Hope you feel better!! Drink plenty of water and I hope this video is part of your healing process.
Great job, spanish history does not get enough attention
Fantastic! This is a region I know very little about. What a wonderful introduction ✌️💕🌻
Glad you enjoyed it
What a fantastic work thank you
You're so welcome Elie
Just found it 😅.I am very excited about this. I love HISTORY. ❤😅
Playing this in the background while playing Crusader Kings 3...
Paradox sponsored my video so go nuts =)
I love this and subscribed to all notifications. . Really enjoy history
People always talk about the “Hundred Years’ War” but they never mention the 700 years reconquista that the Iberian Christians fought against their Muslim occupiers. Thank you.
المسلمين لم يكونوا محتلين كانوا أصحاب أرض وحضارة. 🤫🤫
Love this! Thank you!
Imagine if Elizabeth I and Isabella of Castile was in the same era. They will be rivals.
They were two generations apart. Isabella's daughter married Henry VIII who's daughter was Elizabeth I. Isabella is Elizabeth's Step Grandmother.
@@FlashPointHx I know, I was speaking hypothetically.
@@savagedarksider2147 Oh yeah I agree - Elizabeth was Protestant and Isabella Catholic. In fact Elizabeth was at the helm when the Spanish Armada was defeated. They were both extremely intelligent and fierce characters - they would have destroyed each other in all out war
Excellent program!
Took a class in Spanish history and it’s fantastic
Well produced and narrated.. History is written by victorious.. ❤
😂😂😂un menteur qui veut la vérité 😜🤣🤣🤣
A series based on this should be made!!
There is something like this on Starz
There a Spanish series about Isabella life called Isabella lol .
There is already a series

These are awesome time stamps - thank you
Just what time-starved folks like me need. Thanks Tammy AI!
You left out the Holy Inquisition which she brought into her country
Fingers crossed for a second one
@@samkohen4589 La inquisición Española no fue peor que la Inglesa o la Francesa. Quizás fue da las más blandas. Pero en el mundo anglosajón se le quiso poner como algo terrorífico y siniestro. Recuerdo que los Ingleses quemaban a la gente por supuestas brujas , en España eso no ocurría, no se creía en la brujería. Quizá esa sería otra historia para contar.
GREAT STORY!
Thanks!
Instead of all the feminist bs they’ve been shoving down our throat lately, Netflix should make a documentary about Isabella
The Spanish have already made a good series ("Isabel") some years ago.
Thank You! For Your Time Your Dedication & Your Effort Into The Reconquista Many People Appreciate This Series More Than You Know & I Can't Wait To Learn More About 1 Of My Ancestors (Gonzalo De Sandoval) Who Fought Alongside Hernan Cortez & Help Defeat The Aztecs
Thats right around the corner
Yeah 👍 he was such a great criminal....with his savage genocides against the Aztecs.... you should be proud of him
@@slimm7145 History will never be understood by those who impose the views of modernity to historical people and events.
@@slimm7145you should know that Moctezuma’s descendants are alive and living in Spain. Hardly a genocide.
Castile NEVER had a queen named Isbella....Isabel, yes.....

GRACIAS ESPAÑA , por vuestro legado...desde Colombia , un grato saludo .
Fascinating.
In Spain nowadays, i think everybody knows at least one thing about the catholics kings
Tanto monta, monta tanto...
It seems that outside Spain there is little known of this time period - I'm glad they at least teach that in schools there
@@FlashPointHxWe in Latin America Learn Spanish history.
@@di3486unfortunately you learn Spanish history as told by its former enemies which is the black legend. Good inocent native Indians destroyed by the malicious Spaniards.
@@yalonyun2785 Not at all. We consider Isabel the mother of our continent. We have an anthem to celebrate Oct 12. I grew up hearing great things about Colon and Queen Isabel I. Also, we know the history of tribes like the Caribes, that would hunt down other tribes and sell them as slaves. The black legend is not taught at schools, it is just left wing propaganda.
di3486 The black legend is not left wing, it’s anglo saxon propaganda.
The artwork is great!
Thank you so much !
After all these centuries of reconquest and tireless attempts, as soon as they finished controlling the entire peninsula again, after 8 centuries, the Spanish found America, circumnavigated the Earth and expanded, forming the first global empire in history and with it the beginning of globalization. what a comeback.
Isabella of Portugal was Queen of Castile and León as the second wife of King John II. She was the mother of Queen Isabella I of Castile.
I feel like just commenting "the voiceeee" is not appreciative enough as I know you put so much work into this project. Please know, I think your hard work is masterful and I've learned so much from your channel.
That being said...the voiceeeee!
hahaha - Soooo what I'm getting is that you liked the voice? The rest of the video was meh?
MUHAMMAD (PBUH) IN BUDDHIST SCRIPTURES
by Dr. Zakir Naik
1. Buddha prophesised the advent of a Maitreya:
A) Almost all Buddhist books contain this prophecy. It is in Chakkavatti Sinhnad Suttanta D. III, 76: "There will arise in the world a Buddha named Maitreya (the benevolent one) a holy one, a supreme one, an enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe:
"What he has realized by his own supernatural knowledge he will publish to this universe. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at its climax, glorious at the goal, in the spirit and the letter. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and thoroughly pure; even as I now preach my religion and a like life do proclaim. He will keep up the society of monks numbering many thousands, even as now I keep up a society of monks numbering many hundreds".
B) According to Sacred Books of the East volume 35 pg. 225: "It is said that I am not an only Buddha upon whom the leadership and order is dependent. After me another Buddha maitreya of such and such virtues will come. I am now the leader of hundreds, he will be the leader of thousands."
C) According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 217 and 218 (From Ceylon sources): "Ananda said to the Blessed One, "Who shall teach us when thou art gone?" And the Blessed one replied, 'I am not the first Buddha who came upon the earth nor shall I be the last. In due time another Buddha will arise in the world, a holy one, a supremely enlightened one, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals. He will reveal to you the same eternal truths, which I have taught you. He will preach his religion, glorious in its origin, glorious at the climax and glorious at the goal. He will proclaim a religious life, wholly perfect and pure such as I now proclaim. His disciples will number many thousands while mine number many hundreds.'

The Servitor of Buddha was Ananda. Muhammad (pbuh) also had a servitor by the name Anas (r.a.) who was the son of Malik. Anas (r.a...) was presented to the Prophet by his parents. Anas (r.a...) relates: "My mother said to him, 'Oh Messenger of God, here is your little servant'." Further Anas relates, "I served him from the time I was 8 years old and the Prophet called me his son and his little beloved". Anas (r.a...) stayed by the Prophet in peace and in war, in safety as well as in danger till the end of his life.
i) Anas (r.a.), even though he was only 11 years old stayed beside the Prophet during the battle of Uhud where the Prophet's life was in great danger.
ii) Even during the battle of Hunain when the Prophet was surrounded by the enemies who were archers, Anas (r.a...) who was only 16 years old stood by the Prophet.
Anas (R) can surely be compared with Ananda who stood by Gautam Buddha when the mad elephant approached him.
4. Six Criteria for Identifying Buddha:
According to the Gospel of Buddha by Carus pg. 214:
"The Blessed one said, "There are two occasions on which a Tathagata's appearance becomes clear and exceedingly bright. In the night Ananda, in which a Tathagata attains to the supreme and perfect insight, and in the night in which he passes finally away in that ultra passing which leaves nothing whatever of his earthly existence to remain.' "
According to Gautam Buddha, following are the six criteria for identifying a Buddha.
i) A Buddha attains supreme and perfect insight at night-time.
ii) On the occasion of his complete enlightenment he looks exceedingly bright
iii) A Buddha dies a natural death.
iv) He dies at night-time.
v) He looks exceedingly bright before his death.
vi) After his death a Buddha ceases to exist on earth.
i) Muhammad (pbuh) attained supreme insight and Prophethood at night-time.
According to Surah Dukhan: "By the books that makes thing clear ? We sent it down during a blessed night." [Al-Qur'ân 44:2-3]
According to Surah Al-Qadar: "We have indeed revealed this (message) in the night of power." [Al-Qur'ân 97:1]
ii) Muhammad (pbuh) instantly felt his understanding illumined with celestial light.
iii) Muhammad (pbuh) died a natural death.
iv) According to Ayesha (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) expired at night-time. When he was dying there was no oil in the lamp and his wife Ayesha (r.a.) had to borrow oil for the lamp.
v) According to Anas (r.a.), Muhammad (pbuh) looked exceedingly bright in the night of his death.
vi) After the burial of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he was never seen again in his bodily form on this earth.
5. Buddhas are only Preachers:
According to Dhammapada, Sacred Books of East volume 10 pg., 67:
"The Jathagatas (Buddhas) are only Preachers."
The Qur'ân says in Surah Ghashiya: "Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs." [Al-Qur'ân 88:21-22]
6. Identification of Maitreya by Buddha:
According to Dhammapada, Mattaya Sutta, 151:
"The promised one will be:
i) Compassionate for the whole creation
ii) A messenger of peace, a peace-maker
iii) The most successful in the world.
The Maitreya as a Preacher of morals will be:
i) Truthful
ii) Self-respecting
iii) Gentle and noble
iv) Not proud
v) As a king to creatures
vi) An example to others in deeds and in words".
amazing research obrigado
since I'm rewatching this I am paying more attention to the details and love the flamenco rendition of moonlight sonata
I paid a good price to a musician to create that song - happy that you liked it
Great video! Congratulations and thank you so much, it is really interesting! The maps are so well designed! I find only a small mistake, the music is not correct, it is modern, it is not typical of Castile but from Andalusia and well, in 4:45 it is actually the Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven ☺ arranged for guitar and with a bit of flamenco rhythms !! It is a bit strange, like listening Rap while talking about John Adams. I’d rather suggest some recording of Jordi Savall, like Las Cantigas de Alfonso X El Sabio or some Moorish music, which were both played about that time in Spain.
If I had to meet any queen from the middle ages I would be happy to meet Isabella. She kicked Muslim ass but she had extreme sympathy and kindness for helpless Christians. You have to love a Lady like that and really I am not aware of many queens who have even half her reputation for compassion. Please tell me if there are any better. I love looking at the chains on the Church wall, it was such a stunning move, an incredible statement to put them there. Respect.
Sounded she found isolated group and used the whole world to take it
Granada was the most beautiful city I have ever seen in my life
Was? .....is!!
I remember reading The Warrior Queen on my High School years. It was so satisfying to see Juan Pacheco dying again. What an insufferable man!
Hahaha - no doubt ! :)
That "flamenquito" music gives us not the ambience of those times, but of a "flamenco" party for "guiris" (foreigners) somewhere on the Mediterranean coast (nothing to do with Castile) in the 80's.
It is a shame that every time they play music, for a concert in Spain they play flamenco. I can understand that it is what is best known, but the "Folk-traditional" music that is most in contact with the period recounted is the one that It remains in the northern half of Spain and has nothing to do with flamenco and everything to do with folk music from the rest of the European Atlantic Arc. Of course, forget the Sephardic musical legacy
Ya ..ya . ..puff
Great video, very educational. I LOVE your narration. Just one tiny thing, but seeing Salamanca on the map as part of Extremadura and not León was a bit painful to watch 🥲
Happy you liked the video
