- Spain and Portugal Part 2 Video descriptions and links
In this Part of the history of Spain and Portugal, I talk about the late Visigoth rule, it’s collapse , conquest by the Umayyads, the establishment of the Kingdom of Asturias and beginning of the Reconquista. This period is very complicated to keep track of because of the many states and shifts of rulers throughout this period. But I think I did manage to talk about the more important events and mentioned the major figures of the time

The idea of a Caliphate conquering Iberia by complete accident is hilarious! It's like they just had a doomstack in Total War that they wanted to see how far it'll go, only to stomp an entire peninsula, I can imagine the leaders just losing their minds at how well this raid has gone. Anyway, good job on this one, can't wait for the next one!
Not a doom stack, but just a spam of T1 Marauder Horsemen. And funnily enough the Visigoths couldn't even deal with those.
@@ElBandito Infighting be a hell of a drug. I think thats the same way they lost Iberia too.
@@psssshhh7730 The internal fighting is devastating, but the Arsians were right with them
Oh wow an actual sequel to Yuric INC. video? I didn’t think that was even possible!
Anyway I finally finished the legendary “Part 2 Spain video” (it become my own version of “Where’s Petscop 2?” Anyway in this video I talk about the Fall of the goths, Umayyad conquest and the establishments of Asturias and Cordoba. Because this is a summary I didn’t really talk much about the figures like pelayo and Abd al Rahman, but I bet there many videos about them out there on the wide web. Anyway Thanks for watching! I'm gonna depict the Kingdom of Leon as a guy with a Furry Lion mask and you can't stop me!!
Your videos are really inspiring. I love the way you take civilizations and turn them into charecters. The clothes make them really recognisable.
I would tell you not to do it but I know you are going to do it anyway.
But you know there is one part of Spanish history that is not talked about and that part is about the general and adviser of the caliph Habos. Rabbi Shmuel the Governor
Alright, see you in another 6 months!
mate this is awesome im definetly subbing. no one has ever done a history video with hot country humans. as specially the franks and arabs. like mate the depiction was accurate cause they do have female warriors and they later on became empire ranked civilization with a broken smaller half becoming a big kingdom name france.
To be fair the "Visigoths were having a civil war" was their natural estate. When I read about "natural causes of death for kings" in Pratchett's Discworld, I always think of them.
As a southern Portuguese that grew up surrounded by the archeological ruins and folklore originated from this time in history, I must thank you for not forgetting the fact that Portugal too has been shaped by this historical period, the majority of documentaries and videos about Al-Andalusia don’t even mention Portugal and simply refer to the entirety of the Iberian Peninsula during this period as some sort of proto-Spain. Yet again thank you, and I hope to see more of your amazing content in the future !
You have very, very, very many oranges
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j I have no idea how you know that but we do indeed, the majority of varieties of citrus are produced in Algarve or in Alentejo
@@user-jf4iu6rs9c When the Umayyads came to Portugal, they said that the region had huge quantities of oranges
Portugal sounds like an Arabic name that sounds exactly like that which means orange , does that have any significance?@@user-jf4iu6rs9c
@@Mossaab-kg3cj5hc5s In many European languages and Arabian dialects, the word for orange derives from the placename because Portuguese merchants and explorers returning from the East were the first to introduce the sweet orange to Europe in the late 15th century.
As someone who is Italian and Portuguese, I absolutely LOVE these videos.
(Especially yuric's art style and portrayals :3)
He’s kinda anti-Italian biased but yes
@@Boretheory how? Yuric is half Italian himself
@@ulqinaku8471 Simple. Be an Italian that dislikes Italian!
(I am not confirming whether Yuric is anti-Italian or not. Idk much about him lol)
As a Spaniard, I loved this video. Tremendo arte y buena explicación. 🇪🇸
viva españa joder
@@فلنو nope
@@فلنو idk man I feel like they already have the book of truth, the Bible
@@فلنو the bible hasn't been falsified what do you mean ?
Son muy graciosas las caras jajajaja
A sequel! It has never been seen before!
I love the way you do your "countryhumans." You just put your skills to the right thing and now there must be at least a hundred people who love the *HOT* Emirate of Córdoba.
All this without an appealing content, quite the contrary, it is fully didactic.
The hot characters distracts you from the history lessons
I like the chibi citezens
This was awesome! Hope to hear about Abd al Rahman III and Alfonso the Wise in Part 3.
I am Portuguese and spanish, drawing "my people" in such a nice thicc and beautiful way, makes me happy, thanks mate. Love the content!❤❤❤❤
Actually in North Africa we learn that the conquest was just ambition and accident. A Berber general by the name of Tariq ibn Ziyad from Algeria lead a force of just 1k-10k Berbers and a couple hundred Arabs on a raid. When he discover that their was civil war, he decided to go Rambo. He literally gave a speech to his soldiers while he had is guard burn the boat the came on so the could not leave. In legend he said," now you can only go against the goths, And i ashore you will be compensated with wealth, land, and a grateful "Greek" maiden(Greek and Roman were the same thing to the muslims). Afterward the Caliph arrested him for overreach/needless waste of resources/ignoring orders and his charter(yes you need a charter or contract to raid a place give by the Caliphate government apparently)
Lol the dude was a chad he wanted to pincer attack the Byzantines by going all the way through Spain but the caliph was not having non of that and he was arrested both him and the other Arab commander
@@thedstorm8922 The caliphate had no intentions of travelling all of Europe to surround the Romans. And the conquest of Iberia was not done by for this reason. It’s just kinda like the mongols the Arabs always sent expeditions and conquests. Also one thing is that the economy of the Umayyad caliphate was extremely dependent on conquests. Basically they always had to keep on conquering land to be the richest and come along the most powerful. This is one of the reason why their successor the Abbasid diversified their way on how they got richer, by creating great cities like Baghdad and by focusing more on science etc, not to say they didn’t conquer lands but just weren’t as dependent on it as Umayyads were.
Tariq ibn Ziyad was arab you thief Berber
@@1sultan189 Yes, but the ruler of the city of Ceuta, his daughter was raped by the ruler of the Iberian island, and this made him ally with the Umayyads
Tariq ibn ziyad from algeria ?! Hahahahaha he's Moroccan stop trying to steal history. Make your own history
God I love Al-Andalus' history it's amazing
Your channel is amazing
As a Breton, being mentioned is a miracle that almost never happen, thank you

Quality over quantity
A little precision, recognizing the pope was a very minor difference between arians and niceans, becauss at this time the pope had little authority, even on the niceans, he was more like a very important bishop than the head of the church
Yey part two let's goooo
been waiting for this 🙌
I'm partial to the raid-turned-conquest idea, myself, as that seems to be the Islamic M.O. for much of history. It'd always start with raiding, and if they smelled enough weakness and blood in the water they'd set up shop to raid more easily. That, in turn, would lead to conquest.
This is also why those historians who discount the importance of the Battle of Tours by saying all Charles Martel did was turn back a raid are utterly wrong: that's always how it STARTS, but not always how it ends. Martel saved Christendom precisely BECAUSE he turned back a raid that could have turned into something far more.
This is true. Many states/institutions evolved out of Ghazi outposts
@@sean668 No Basque king laughs
But you forgot 3 things :
1- The idea of Christendom didn't exist back then so nobody saw it back then as saving Christendom
2- The Umayyads empire was in decline and weaker back then than 20 years before when they conquered Hispania
3 - Charles used his best remaining soldiers and had to plunder the churches money because the state coffers were running low meaning that he put everything in line and had no back up plan other than retreating to Paris for final battle
@@baha3alshamari152
1. Yes it did and yes they did.
2. Utterly absurd to say an empire expanding into France was in decline. Umayyad power in Spain would last until the 1000s even if they lost it in the Muslim heartlands.
3. Doesn't matter. He still saved Christendom.
4. Those are three things, not two.
5. You're utterly nitpicking, presumably because you have some bias against Christendom or against the middle ages.
Yey, more history!
It’s gonna get crazy when he covers the yugoslav wars
bro u deserve more views
Yeah, it sucks that Yuric doesn't get views when he tries to do actual history, but gets them when he does history memes with booba.
YEAH BOIIIIIII
I was waiting for this
This was really good dude!
Great Video
Let's go!🎉
Très bonne vidéo !
Epic Video Bro
- Still suggest a video on Napoleon III lol
I love these videos
Puxa Asturies. Small but they couldn't conquer us.
no
4:09 Its worth mentioning that the amazigh majority wouldve probably spoken an afro-romance language or tamazight one with heavy romance influence.
Moors never conquered Asturias
3:26 - Charles Martel just off-screen holding a king Dedede hammer.
5:17 Al-Andalus --> 5:19 The cooler Al-Andalus
@Tigran-Abazyan Yes. That's the joke
Yuric Inc doing a sequel? Are you ok man?
no...
@@Yuric_INC. OK, keep going!
I really curious now. I want to know how they became Spain and Portugal.
You will know later
Teaching history… in anime art style?
This gets my long-span attention !
GORGEOUS ART AND INFOMATIVE VID SUBSCRIBED😂💝
AWESOME. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
lets go new episode
As an Arab-Muslim I loved this video!
The reason it was conquered is because Caliph Sulayman ibn Abdulmalik wanted to take advantage of the Visigoth civil wars to their advantage, the conquests lasted from his era with Omar ibn Abdulaziz contributing a lot till Yazid II's reign.
Abdulrahman I Also called (The Eagle of Quraysh) had made some pretty sad homesick poems longing for Syria since he couldn't return to there
And Fun Fact: There was definitely one Companion of the prophet in the innital conquering army.
Correction: It's the Falcon of Quraysh. Falcons are more common among Arabs than eagles
Yuric inc has many best girls and all girls are cute.
3:38 it says "I don't really care what you do, as long as you pay your taxes". But that simply isn't correct. The Caliphates did generally allow Christians to practice their religion but gave them unfair treatment. Christians were excluded from certain jobs, had to pay Jizya tax (like you mentioned), Christian men could not marry Muslim women but Muslim men were allowed to marry Christian women and any if there children had to be raised in Islam. Besides official policies, Arab rule also created many incentives for people to convert to Islam. And that's not mentioning of the discrimination that would be brought by a minority control government that became the new upper echelon of society, like with Ptolemy dynasty in Egypt.
In Islam a man can marry a woman that believes in one of the abrahamic religions. But a women can’t because the child will be the same religion as his father. Especially back then this is still applies today, this is a rule in the religion not the empire itself. Also Arabs did have some advantages yes but Christians weren’t really treated that bad. And the Christians definitely did worse then the Muslims compared to Christian’s Muslims where relatively peaceful. The Spanish Inquisition literally killed or moved all people who wouldn’t convert even native Iberians.
I NEED AN ISIDORE OF SEVILE PLUSHIE, TAKE MY EFFING MONEY
Great video! and the art is top noch
As someone who likes to historygasm over the fact that queen Isabella girlbossed her way through Reconquista I'm very much looking forward to the conclusion
Her name was Isabel, or Elizabeth in english. Isabella it's an italian name.
@@angelcamachodelsolar In English she is referred to as Isabella, as any English article referring to her will use that spelling. Conversely, any in Spanish will indeed use Isabel. Translations of royal family names have always, unfortunately, been a tad inconsistent -- despite the regional origins of the name. Similarly to how Alexander the Great is referred to as Alexander in world history, rather than Alexandros -- the Romanized name, or even his actual name of "Ἀλέξανδρος".
If you believe that it's a translation error, or I'm misusing the name, obviously I'm not the one who coined the name or the translation; I'm merely using what is commonly accepted for my primary language.
@@streetlight197 Ok, so do you say that all english documents perpetuate the mistake using Isabella.
Isabel in spanish, Elizabeth translated to english, there's no point to use the italian name where we are using spanish or english languages.
It's like we say "Isabella I, queen of England, defeated the Spanish Armada".
It has no sense.
@@angelcamachodelsolar I don't have an answer that would satisfy you. She's commonly referred to as Isabella. Thank you for your concern though, and take care.
With how you drew Carthage I'd let them conquer me
Viva La Reconquista ! ✝️✝️✝️
After 8 centuries of slaving for Muslims ☪️ 😉
Long live islambol 🏴🏴
Booba part 2. Also my ancestors came from Basque Country in Spain and helped take Spain back from the Moors :)
Oddly enough the basques didn't have that bad a relationship with the Moors (once enough blood shedding and the buffer state of Banu Qasi was established), but after the Navas of Tolosa, all downhill.
Anyway, ondo izan ta txintxo ibili
>nicean/chalcedonian
>Recognized the Pope
Depending on what you mean, that is a misrepresentation of the Chalcedonian and Niceean christians.
Recognizes the Pope as in "papal supremacy" then wrong,or "as the first amongst equals in the pentarchy".
I got told once that while Galicia got conquered, they didn’t stay because of the weather and I’m ready to believe it. Northwest of Spain definitely lacks the influence Arab culture had in other parts of Spain, such as in architecture or language.
Nice video
Al-andalus ☝️
"Shaping up the spanish identity"
And meanwhile us basques keep doing our thing with our non indo european language and culture.
I do hope we get to see one of our finest hours; Killing Roland as the battle of Orreaga/Roncesvaux as revenge for the sack of Iruña/Pamplona so hard that later on they had to make up it was a horde of thousands of saracens
Can we have link to Part 1 in the description please?
This pretty cools
👍
Only took 6 months, and it was WORTH it
I suddenly wish you had a Discord server. ._.
We need a video about Brazil 😭
"Oh and also Portuguese" :)
0:31 GERMS!!!!
Tf are u doing here?
Im actually surprised that someone mentioned the berber revolt's role in the northern expansion
we are also told that it was never called a reconquista until the 19th century restoration borbonica.
also abderraman I did not have a beard, was one eyed and he actually had red hair
The idea of spain, possibly the most fanatic nation of christianity in Europe during the early modern period was once halal is weird
No, they were killing Christians, you mean pagans
it was never halal lol iberians were always Christian and when the Muslims attacked all the Christian population went to Northern Spain and did military service in the Reconquista and took back Iberia from Invaders 🤷 Also many non iberians like the Franks And the Greeks helped to defeat the Muslims.
@@Astrid.101 No, the Christians were fighting themselves
@@user-cg2tw8pw7j the visigothic civil War had nothing to do with Christianity they were fighting over control
@@Astrid.101 yeah I guess many people didn’t like being a subject of a heathen religion but there were many people who preserved christian religion and culture through the muslim rule of the majority the caliphate of cordoba was only 50% muslim ✝️
The Conquering of Iberian Peninsula is not a Mistake it was encouraged by defenses
Asturias D. Ace in the thumbl
cool
Yay. History.
History of His story….
But Reality is much different
Yuric inc is best.
Very noice. ;-;
The taxes Muslims do is not for money only
After reach u must pay it so they count u as one of them
By mean if war began with Christian”or any one else” still can’t kick u from country or even touch u and must save u
Ohh yeah caliphate time !!!
The thumbnail looks like rise of kingdoms commanders
Now I want to see a rise of kingdoms Yuric inc version.
Lady Iberia got me actin’ unwise
Christians for the win, let's go.
Greta vidoe, but dobt use the word Berber, ad is essentially meand barbarian in Arabic if i am not mistaken, and many Amazight dont like to called that prefer being called Amazigh.
Thanks irish dna history to
